When `git pull --rebase --autostash` in a dirty repository resulted in a
fast-forward, nothing was being autostashed and the pull failed. This
was due to a shortcut to avoid running rebase when we can fast-forward,
but autostash is ignored on that codepath.
Now we will only take the shortcut if autostash is not in effect.
Based on a few tests against the git.git repo, the shortcut does not
seem to give us significant performance benefits, on Linux at least.
Regardless, it is more important to be correct than to be fast.

Fixes the test by changing "branch.s/s/dummy" to "branch.s/s.dummy" which is
the right way of accessing config key "branch.s/s.dummy". Purpose of
this test is to confirm that this key doesn't exist after the branch
"s/s" has been renamed to "s".
Earlier it was trying to access invalid config key and hence was getting
an error. However, this wasn't caught because we were expecting the
command to fail for other reason as mentioned above.

When we diff a blob against a working tree file like:
git diff HEAD:Makefile Makefile
we always use the working tree filename for both sides of
the diff. In most cases that's fine, as the two would be the
same anyway, as above. And until recently, we used the
"name" for the blob, not the path, which would have the
messy "HEAD:" on the beginning.
But when they don't match, like:
git diff HEAD:old_path new_path
it makes sense to show both names.
This patch uses the blob's path field if it's available, and
otherwise falls back to using the filename (in preference to
the blob's name, which is likely to be garbage like a raw
sha1).

There's a subtle distinction between "name" and "path" for a
blob that we resolve: the name is what the user told us on
the command line, and the path is what we traversed when
finding the blob within a tree (if we did so).
When we diff blobs directly, we use "name", but "path" is
more likely to be useful to the user (it will find the
correct .gitattributes, and give them a saner diff header).
We still have to fall back to using the name for some cases
(i.e., any blob reference that isn't of the form tree:path).
That's the best we can do in such a case.

The "a..b" revision syntax was designed to handle commits,
so it doesn't bother to record any mode we find while
traversing a "tree:path" endpoint. These days "git diff" can
diff blobs using either "a:path..b:path" (with dots) or
"a:path b:path" (without), but the two behave
inconsistently, as the with-dots version fails to notice the
mode.
Let's teach the dot-dot range parser to record modes; it
doesn't cost us anything, and it makes this case work.

The git-diff command can directly compare two blobs (or a
blob and a file), but we don't test this at all. Let's add
some basic tests that reveal a few problems.
There are basically four interesting inputs:
1. sha1 against sha1 (where diff has no information beyond
the contents)
2. tree:path against tree:path (where it can get
information via get_sha1_with_context)
3. Same as (2), but using the ".." range syntax
4. tree:path against a filename
And beyond generating a sane diff, we care about a few
little bits: which paths they show in the diff header, and
whether they correctly pick up a mode change.
They should all be able to show a mode except for (1),
though note that case (3) is currently broken.
For the headers, we would ideally show the path within the
tree if we have it, making:
git diff a:path b:path
look the same as:
git diff a b -- path
We can't always do that (e.g., in the direct sha1/sha1 diff,
we have no path to show), in which case we should fall back
to the name that resolved to the blob (which is nonsense
from the repository's perspective, but is the best we can
do).
Aside from the fallback case in (1), none of the cases get
this right. Cases (2) and (3) always show the full
tree:path, even though we should be able to know just the
"path" portion.
Case (4) picks up the filename path, but assigns it to
_both_ sides of the diff. So this works for:
git diff tree:path path
but not for:
git diff tree:other_path path
The appropriate tests are marked to expect failure.

When we are parsing a range like "a..b", we write a
temporary NUL over the first ".", so that we can access the
names "a" and "b" as C strings. But our restoration of the
original "." is done at inconsistent times, which can lead
to confusing results.
For most calls, we restore the "." after we resolve the
names, but before we call verify_non_filename(). This means
that when we later call add_pending_object(), the name for
the left-hand "a" has been re-expanded to "a..b". You can
see this with:
git log --source a...b
where "b" will be correctly marked with "b", but "a" will be
marked with "a...b". Likewise with "a..b" (though you need
to use --boundary to even see "a" at all in that case).
To top off the confusion, when the REVARG_CANNOT_BE_FILENAME
flag is set, we skip the non-filename check, and leave the
NUL in place.
That means we do report the correct name for "a" in the
pending array. But some code paths try to show the whole
"a...b" name in error messages, and these erroneously show
only "a" instead of "a...b". E.g.:
$ git cherry-pick HEAD:foo...HEAD:foo
error: object d95f3ad14dee633a758d2e331151e950dd13e4ed is a blob, not a commit
error: object d95f3ad14dee633a758d2e331151e950dd13e4ed is a blob, not a commit
fatal: Invalid symmetric difference expression HEAD:foo
(That last message should be "HEAD:foo...HEAD:foo"; I used
cherry-pick because it passes the CANNOT_BE_FILENAME flag).
As an interesting side note, cherry-pick actually looks at
and re-resolves the arguments from the pending->name fields.
So it would have been visibly broken by the first bug, but
the effect was canceled out by the second one.
This patch makes the whole function consistent by re-writing
the NUL immediately after calling verify_non_filename(), and
then restoring the "." as appropriate in some error-printing
and early-return code paths.

There is an implicit assumption that a directory containing only
untracked and ignored paths should itself be considered untracked. This
makes sense in use cases where we're asking if a directory should be
added to the git database, but not when we're asking if a directory can
be safely removed from the working tree; as a result, clean -d would
assume that an "untracked" directory containing ignored paths could be
deleted, even though doing so would also remove the ignored paths.
To get around this, we teach clean -d to collect ignored paths and skip
an untracked directory if it contained an ignored path, instead just
removing the untracked contents thereof. To achieve this, cmd_clean()
has to collect all untracked contents of untracked directories, in
addition to all ignored paths, to determine which untracked dirs must be
skipped (because they contain ignored paths) and which ones should *not*
be skipped.
For this purpose, correct_untracked_entries() is introduced to prune a
given dir_struct of untracked entries containing ignored paths and those
untracked entries encompassed by the untracked entries which are not
pruned away.
A memory leak is also fixed in cmd_clean().
This also fixes the known breakage in t7300, since clean -d now skips
untracked directories containing ignored paths.

When we taught read_directory_recursive() to recurse into untracked
directories in search of ignored files given DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, that
had the side effect of teaching it to collect the untracked contents of
untracked directories. It doesn't always make sense to return these,
though (we do need them for `clean -d`), so we introduce a flag
(DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS) to control whether or not read_directory()
strips dir->entries of the untracked contents of untracked dirs.
We also introduce check_contains() to check if one dir_entry corresponds
to a path which contains the path corresponding to another dir_entry.
This also fixes known breakages in t7061, since status --ignored now
searches untracked directories for ignored files.

Per eb8c5b87, `status --ignored` by design does not list ignored files
if they are in a directory which contains only ignored and untracked
files (which is itself considered to be untracked) without `-uall`. This
does not make sense for `--ignored`, which claims to "Show ignored files
as well."
Thus we revisit eb8c5b87 and decide that for such directories, `status
--ignored` will list the directory as untracked *and* list all ignored
files within said directory even without `-uall`.

When peeling a tag for prepare_revision_walk(), we do not

The other link-following all happens via traverse_commit_list(),

If a commit message is edited with the "verbose" option, the buffer

"git interpret-trailers" is unaware of the cut line, and assumes the
trailer block would be at the end of the whole thing. This can easily
be seen with:
$ GIT_EDITOR='git interpret-trailers --in-place --trailer Acked-by:me' \
git commit --amend -v
Teach "git interpret-trailers" to notice the cut-line and ignore the
remainder of the input when looking for a place to add new trailer
block. This makes it consistent with how "git commit -v -s" inserts a
new Signed-off-by: line.
This can be done by the same logic as the existing helper function,
wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line(), uses, but it wants the caller
to pass a strbuf to it. Because the function ignore_non_trailer() used
by the command takes a <pointer, length> pair, not a strbuf, steal the
logic from wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line() to create a new
wt_status_locate_end() helper function that takes <pointer, length>
pair, and make ignore_non_trailer() call it to help "interpret-trailers".
Since there is only one caller of wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line()
in cmd_commit(), rewrite it to call wt_status_locate_end() helper instead
and remove the old helper that no longer has any caller.

One test in t5400 examines the packet exchange between git-push and
git-receive-pack. The latter inherits the GIT_TRACE_PACKET environment
variable, so that both processes dump trace data into the same file
concurrently. This should not be a problem because the trace file is
opened with O_APPEND.
On Windows, however, O_APPEND is not atomic as it should be: it is
emulated as lseek(SEEK_END) followed by write(). For this reason, the
test is unreliable: it can happen that one process overwrites a line
that was just written by the other process. As a consequence, the test
sometimes does not find one or another line that is expected (and it is
also successful occasionally).
The test case is actually only interested in the output of git-push.
To ensure that only git-push writes to the trace file, override the
receive-pack command such that it does not even open the trace file.

Instead, loosen the check so that we only pretend that the rest of

style, even if the user had already overridden it. Instead of setting
the option in config parsing, set it in init_log_defaults instead.
Add a test for this case. The actual additional config option doesn't
matter, but it needs to be something not already set in the
configuration file.

The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify
the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if
you're not actually in a repository.
Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write
".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet
failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no
matching config value). Writing would generally fail
noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since
b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git",
2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and
die with an assertion.
Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the
problem early and give a more human-friendly error message.
Note that even without --local, git-config will sometimes
default to using local repository config (e.g., when
writing). These cases are already protected by similar
checks, and covered by a test in t1308.
