Since 920b691 (clone: refuse to clone if --branch
points to bogus ref) we refuse to clone with option
"-b" if the specified branch does not exist in the
(non-empty) upstream. If the upstream repository is empty,
the branch doesn't exist, either. So refuse the clone too.

Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option,
which places the author ident into an in-body from header,
and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The
documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header
when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never
implemented that behavior.
This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents
and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same
as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by
definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it
reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches
your particular workflow), rather than only using it when
exporting other people's patches.

Most of git's traversals are robust against minor breakages
in commit data. For example, "git log" will still output an
entry for a commit that has a broken encoding or missing
author, and will not abort the whole operation.
Shortlog, on the other hand, will die as soon as it sees a
commit without an author, meaning that a repository with
a broken commit cannot get any shortlog output at all.
Let's downgrade this fatal error to a warning, and continue
the operation.
We simply ignore the commit and do not count it in the total
(since we do not have any author under which to file it).
Alternatively, we could output some kind of "<empty>" record
to collect these bogus commits. It is probably not worth it,
though; we have already warned to stderr, so the user is
aware that such bogosities exist, and any placeholder we
came up with would either be syntactically invalid, or would
potentially conflict with real data.

A clone will always create a transport struct, whether we
are cloning locally or using an actual protocol. In the
local case, we only use the transport to get the list of
refs, and then transfer the objects out-of-band.
However, there are many options that we do not bother
setting up in the local case. For the most part, these are
noops, because they only affect the object-fetching stage
(e.g., the --depth option). However, some options do have a
visible impact. For example, giving the path to upload-pack
via "-u" does not currently work for a local clone, even
though we need upload-pack to get the ref list.
We can just drop the conditional entirely and set these
options for both local and non-local clones. Rather than
keep track of which options impact the object versus the ref
fetching stage, we can simply let the noops be noops (and
the cost of setting the options in the first place is not
high).
The one exception is that we also check that the transport
provides both a "get_refs_list" and a "fetch" method. We
will now be checking the former for both cases (which is
good, since a transport that cannot fetch refs would not
work for a local clone), and we tweak the conditional to
check for a "fetch" only when we are non-local.

When stderr does not point to a tty, we typically suppress
"we are now in this phase" progress reporting (e.g., we ask
the server not to send us "counting objects" and the like).
The new "checking connectivity" message is in the same vein,
and should be suppressed. Since clone relies on the
transport code to make the decision, we can simply sneak a
peek at the "progress" field of the transport struct. That
properly takes into account both the verbosity and progress
options we were given, as well as the result of isatty().
Note that we do not set up that progress flag for a local
clone, as we do not fetch using the transport at all. That's
acceptable here, though, because we also do not perform a
connectivity check in that case.

Putting messages like "Cloning into.." and "done" on stdout
is un-Unix and uselessly clutters the stdout channel. Send
them to stderr.
We have to tweak two tests to accommodate this:
1. t5601 checks for doubled output due to forking, and
doesn't actually care where the output goes; adjust it
to check stderr.
2. t5702 is trying to test whether progress output was
sent to stderr, but naively does so by checking
whether stderr produced any output. Instead, have it
look for "%", a token found in progress output but not
elsewhere (and which lets us avoid hard-coding the
progress text in the test).
This should not regress any scripts that try to parse the
current output, as the output is already internationalized
and therefore unstable.

When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and
their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings
branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching
refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end
up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration.
It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that
upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is
typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous
patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream
relationship from being formed. Furthermore:
- We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its
branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs
that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*.
- The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote
repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo.
Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the
testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative
effect on the rest of the test suite.
This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in
41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

In 41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*), we changed the rules for what is considered a valid tracking
branch (a.k.a. upstream branch). We now use the configured remotes and their
refspecs to determine whether a proposed tracking branch is in fact within
the domain of a remote, and we then use that information to deduce the
upstream configuration (branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge).
However, with that change, we also check that - in addition to a matching
refspec - the result of mapping the tracking branch through that refspec
(i.e. the corresponding ref name in the remote repo) happens to start with
"refs/heads/". In other words, we require that a tracking branch refers to
a _branch_ in the remote repo.
Now, consider that you are e.g. setting up an automated building/testing
infrastructure for a group of similar "source" repositories. The build/test
infrastructure consists of a central scheduler, and a number of build/test
"slave" machines that perform the actual build/test work. The scheduler
monitors the group of similar repos for changes (e.g. with a periodic
"git fetch"), and triggers builds/tests to be run on one or more slaves.
Graphically the changes flow between the repos like this:
Source #1 -------v ----> Slave #1
/
Source #2 -----> Scheduler -----> Slave #2
\
Source #3 -------^ ----> Slave #3
... ...
The scheduler maintains a single Git repo with each of the source repos set
up as distinct remotes. The slaves also need access to all the changes from
all of the source repos, so they pull from the scheduler repo, but using the
following custom refspec:
remote.origin.fetch = "+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*"
This makes all of the scheduler's remote-tracking branches automatically
available as identical remote-tracking branches in each of the slaves.
Now, consider what happens if a slave tries to create a local branch with
one of the remote-tracking branches as upstream:
git branch local_branch --track refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
Git now looks at the configured remotes (in this case there is only "origin",
pointing to the scheduler's repo) and sees refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
matching origin's refspec. Mapping through that refspec we find that the
corresponding remote ref name is "refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch".
However, since this remote ref name does not start with "refs/heads/", we
discard it as a suitable upstream, and the whole command fails.
This patch adds a testcase demonstrating this failure by creating two
source repos ("a" and "b") that are forwarded through a scheduler ("c")
to a slave repo ("d"), that then tries create a local branch with an
upstream. See the next patch in this series for the exciting conclusion
to this story...

We're testing that trying to --track a ref that is not covered by any remote
refspec should fail. For that, we want to have refs/remotes/local/master
present, but we also want the remote.local.fetch refspec to NOT match
refs/remotes/local/master (so that the tracking setup will fail, as intended).
However, when doing "git fetch local" to ensure the existence of
refs/remotes/local/master, we must not already have changed remote.local.fetch
so as to cause refs/remotes/local/master not to be fetched. Therefore, set
remote.local.fetch to refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/local/* BEFORE we fetch, and
then reset it to refs/heads/s:refs/remotes/local/s AFTER we have fetched
(but before we test --track).

The read_mailmap_buf function reads each line of the mailmap
using strchrnul, like:
const char *end = strchrnul(buf, '\n');
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + 1;
But that's off-by-one when we actually hit the NUL byte; our
line does not have a terminator, and so is only "end - buf"
bytes long. As a result, when we subtract the linelen from
the total len, we end up with (unsigned long)-1 bytes left
in the buffer, and we start reading random junk from memory.
We could fix it with:
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + !!*end;
but let's take a step back for a moment. It's questionable
in the first place for a function that takes a buffer and
length to be using strchrnul. But it works because we only
have one caller (and are only likely to ever have this one),
which is handing us data from read_sha1_file. Which means
that it's always NUL-terminated.
Instead of tightening the assumptions to make the
buffer/length pair work for a caller that doesn't actually
exist, let's let loosen the assumptions to what the real
caller has: a modifiable, NUL-terminated string.
This makes the code simpler and shorter (because we don't
have to correlate strchrnul with the length calculation),
correct (because the code with the off-by-one just goes
away), and more efficient (we can drop the extra allocation
we needed to create NUL-terminated strings for each line,
and just terminate in place).

upload-pack has a special revision walking code for shallow
recipients. It works almost like the similar code in pack-objects
except:
1. in upload-pack, graft points could be added for deepening;
2. also when the repository is deepened, the shallow point will be
moved further away from the tip, but the old shallow point will be
marked as edge to produce more efficient packs. See 6523078 (make
shallow repository deepening more network efficient - 2009-09-03).
Pass the file to pack-objects via --shallow-file. This will override
$GIT_DIR/shallow and give pack-objects the exact repository shape
that upload-pack has.
mark edge commits by revision command arguments. Even if old shallow
points are passed as "--not" revisions as in this patch, they will not
be picked up by mark_edges_uninteresting() because this function looks
up to parents for edges, while in this case the edge is the children,
in the opposite direction. This will be fixed in an later patch when

As its very first action, t3404 installs (via set_fake_editor) a
specialized $EDITOR which simplifies automated 'rebase -i' testing. Many
tests rely upon this setting, thus tests which need a different editor
must take extra care upon completion to restore $EDITOR in order to
avoid breaking following tests. This places extra burden upon such tests

$EDITOR it requires, rather than relying upon a global setting.

fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:
- shallow_lock is set up
- alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
"shallow.lock"
- commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
same memory.
At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.
Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked

nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction

imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].
Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.
The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The
new test catches read and write problems.
Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.

Git fails due to a segmentation fault if a submodule path is empty.
Here is an example .gitmodules that will cause a segmentation fault:
[submodule "foo-module"]
path
url = http://host/repo.git
$ git status
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This is because the parsing of "submodule.*.path" is not prepared to
see a value-less "true" and assumes that the value is always
non-NULL (parsing of "ignore" has the same problem).
Fix it by checking the NULL-ness of value and complain with
config_error_nonbool().

An earlier draft of the previous step used cache_name_exists() to
check the directory we were looking at, which missed the second case
described in its log message. Demonstrate why it is not sufficient.

This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it
does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u}
applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it
shouldn't.
The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic
can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing
use cases for now for the upcoming release.

This reverts commit a73653130edd6a8977106d45a8092c09040f9132, as it
has been reported that "ls-files --killed" is too time-consuming in
a deep directory with too many untracked crufts (e.g. $HOME/.git
tracking only a few files).
We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be
optimized before it happens.
