The recently introduced conditional inclusion of configuration did
not work well when early-config mechanism was involved.
* nd/conditional-config-in-early-config:
config: correct file reading order in read_early_config()
config: handle conditional include when $GIT_DIR is not set up
config: prepare to pass more info in git_config_with_options()
|

If setup_git_directory() and friends have not been called,
get_git_dir() (because of includeIf.gitdir:XXX) would lead to
die("BUG: setup_git_env called without repository");
There are two cases when a config file could be read before $GIT_DIR
is located.
The first one is check_repository_format(), where we read just the one
file $GIT_DIR/config to check if we could understand this
repository. This case should be safe. We do not parse include
directives, which can only be triggered from git_config_with_options,
but setup code uses a lower-level function. The concerned variables
should never be hidden away behind includes anyway.
The second one is triggered in check_pager_config() when we're about
to run an external git command. We might be able to find $GIT_DIR in
this case, which is exactly what read_early_config() does (and also is
what check_pager_config() uses). Conditional includes and
get_git_dir() could be triggered by the first
git_config_with_options() call there, before discover_git_directory()
is used as a fallback $GIT_DIR detection.
Detect this special "early reading" case, pass down the $GIT_DIR,
either from previous setup or detected by discover_git_directory(),
and make conditional include use it.

$GIT_DIR returned by get_git_dir() is normalized, with all symlinks
resolved (see setup_work_tree function). In order to match paths (or
patterns) against $GIT_DIR char-by-char, they have to be normalized
too. There is a note in config.txt about this, that the user need to
resolve symlinks by themselves if needed.
The problem is, we allow certain path expansion, '~/' and './', for
convenience and can't ask the user to resolve symlinks in these
expansions. Make sure the expanded paths have all symlinks resolved.
PS. The strbuf_realpath(&text, get_git_dir(), 1) is still needed because
get_git_dir() may return relative path.

Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings
among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories.
A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple
repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another
for the other.
Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to
update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning
often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in
~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would
not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more
problems than it solves.
Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include
another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some
conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A
only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on.
In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in
absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or
something like that to take advantage of it.
We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes
with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is
required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as
include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will
simply ignore them.

The patch extends git config --file interface to allow read config from
stdin.
Editing stdin or setting value in stdin is an error.
Include by absolute path is allowed in stdin config, but not by relative
path.

When we see a relative config include like:
[include]
path = foo
we make it relative to the containing directory of the file
that contains the snippet. This makes no sense for config
read from a blob, as it is not on the filesystem. Something
like "HEAD:some/path" could have a relative path within the
tree, but:
1. It would not be part of include.path, which explicitly
refers to the filesystem.
2. It would need different parsing rules anyway to
determine that it is a tree path.
The current code just uses the "name" field, which is wrong.
Let's split that into "name" and "path" fields, use the
latter for relative includes, and fill in only the former
for blobs.

You can already use relative paths in include.path, which
means that including "foo" from your global "~/.gitconfig"
will look in your home directory. However, you might want to
do something clever like putting "~/.gitconfig-foo" in a
specific repository's config file.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).
