Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side,
expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter.
We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully
before exiting as an error.
This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter
can produce its output without consuming its input using whatever
magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it as a
programming error.

When copy_fd() function encounters errors, it emits error messages
itself, which makes it impossible for callers to take responsibility
for reporting errors, especially when they want to ignore certain
errors.
Move the error reporting to its callers in preparation.
- copy_file() and copy_file_with_time() by indirection get their
own calls to error().
- hold_lock_file_for_append(), when told to die on error, used to
exit(128) relying on the error message from copy_fd(), but now it
does its own die() instead. Note that the callers that do not
pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR need to be adjusted for this change, but
fortunately there is none ;-)
- filter_buffer_or_fd() has its own error() already, in addition to
the message from copy_fd(), so this will change the output but
arguably in a better way.

A heuristic to help the "git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" command line
convention to catch mistyped paths is to make sure all the non-rev
parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the
files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c"
must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will
create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see. Loosen the
heuristic to declare that with a wildcard string the user likely
meant to give us a pathspec.

"git merge FETCH_HEAD" learned that the previous "git fetch" could
be to create an Octopus merge, i.e. recording multiple branches

We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in
(typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks
for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to
support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it
without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has
become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the
users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the
path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would
interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may
not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin
and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin
and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH).

After "git add -N", the path appeared in output of "git diff HEAD"
and "git diff --cached HEAD", leading "git status" to classify it
as "Changes to be committed". Such a path, however, is not yet to
be scheduled to be committed. "git diff" showed the change to the
path as modification, not as a "new file", in the header of its
output.
Treat such paths as "yet to be added to the index but Git already
know about them"; "git diff HEAD" and "git diff --cached HEAD"
should not talk about them, and "git diff" should show them as new
files yet to be added to the index.

progress: treat "no terminal" as being in the foreground
Commit 85cb890 (progress: no progress in background,
2015-04-13) avoids sending progress from background
processes by checking that the process group id of the
current process is the same as that of the controlling
terminal.
If we don't have a terminal, however, this check never
succeeds, and we print no progress at all (until the final
"done" message). This can be seen when cloning a large
repository; instead of getting progress updates for
"counting objects", it will appear to hang then print the
final count.
We can fix this by treating an error return from tcgetpgrp()
as a signal to show the progress.

created transport
Commit 2879bc3 made the progress and verbosity options sent to remote helper
earlier than they previously were. But nothing else after that would send
updates if the value is changed later on with transport_set_verbosity.
While for fetch and push, transport_set_verbosity is the first thing that
is done after creating the transport, it was not the case for clone. So
commit 2879bc3 broke changing progress and verbosity for clone, for urls
requiring a remote helper only (so, not git:// urls, for instance).
Moving transport_set_verbosity to just after the transport is created
works around the issue.

Back when these tests were written, we wanted to make sure that Git
notices it is in a bare repository and "git show -s HEAD" would
refrain from complaining that HEAD might mean a file it sees in its
current working directory (because it does not). But the version of
Git back then didn't behave well, without (doubly) being told that
it is inside a bare repository by exporting "GIT_DIR=.". The form
of the test we originally wanted to have was left commented out as
a reminder.
Nowadays the test as originally intended works, so add it to the
test suite. We'll keep the old test that explicitly sets GIT_DIR=.
to make sure that use case will not regress.

Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

Currently, there is only one attempt to lock a file. If it fails, the
whole operation fails.
But it might sometimes be advantageous to try acquiring a file lock a
few times before giving up. So add a new function,
hold_lock_file_for_update_timeout(), that allows a timeout to be
specified. Make hold_lock_file_for_update() a thin wrapper around the
new function.
If timeout_ms is positive, then retry for at least that many
milliseconds to acquire the lock. On each failed attempt, use select()
to wait for a backoff time that increases quadratically (capped at 1
second) and has a random component to prevent two processes from
getting synchronized. If timeout_ms is negative, retry indefinitely.
In a moment we will switch to using the new function when locking
packed-refs.

Since 441ed41 ("git pull --tags": error out with a better message.,
2007-12-28), git pull --tags would print a different error message if
git-fetch did not return any merge candidates:
It doesn't make sense to pull all tags; you probably meant:
git fetch --tags
This is because at that time, git-fetch --tags would override any
configured refspecs, and thus there would be no merge candidates. The
error message was thus introduced to prevent confusion.
However, since c5a84e9 (fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to*
other stuff, 2013-10-30), git fetch --tags would fetch tags in addition
to any configured refspecs. Hence, if any no merge candidates situation
occurs, it is not because --tags was set. As such, this special error
message is now irrelevant.
To prevent confusion, remove this error message.

The former seems to just be syntactic sugar for the latter.
And as it's sugar that AsciiDoctor doesn't understand, it
would be nice to avoid it. Since there are only two spots,
and the resulting source is not significantly harder to
read, it's worth doing.
Note that this does slightly affect the generated HTML (it
has an extra newline), but the rendered result for both HTML
and docbook should be the same (since the newline is not
syntactically significant there).
