push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default

In preparation for flipping the default to the "simple" mode from
the "matching" mode that is the historical default, start warning
users when they rely on unconfigured "git push" to default to the
"matching" mode.

Also, advertise for 'simple' where 'current' and 'upstream' are advised.

t/test-lib.sh: export PERL_PATH for use in scripts

Most notably, t4031 creates a small shell script that invokes perl
and we want to use "$PERL_PATH" to name the version of Perl suitable
for our use, read from GIT-BUILD-OPTS.  The test would fail when it
is directly run in t/ directory from the shell or "make" is run in t/
directory.

This problem was hidden from "make test" run in the top-level
directory, because its Makefile exports PERL_PATH.

tests: enclose $PERL_PATH in double quotes

Otherwise it will be split at a space after "Program" when it is set

t/README: add a bit more Don'ts

Add a few more advices that we often have to give to new test
writers.

Also update an example where a double quote pair is used to enclose
a test body to use a single quote pair, which is more readable and
more importantly gives saner semantics for variable substitution.

test-lib: reorder and include GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS a lot earlier

This dot-sources GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS a lot earlier in test-lib.sh so
that its use of "perl" can use "$PERL_PATH" to choose the version of
Perl the user told us is suitable for our use.

This is iffy; I didn't check it very carefully, and I would not be
surprised if there are subtle breakages.

config: read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.

In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).

We do not write to this new location (yet).

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.

If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore

To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

 1. to create such a file,

 2. and add configuration variable to point at it.

Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.

And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config).  The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

config: write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file when appropriate

Teach git to write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if

 - it already exists,
 - $HOME/.gitconfig file doesn't, and
 - The --global option is used.

Otherwise, write to $HOME/.gitconfig when the --global option is
given, as before.

If the user doesn't create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, there is
absolutely no change. Users can use this new file only if they want.

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used.

Advice for users who often come back to an old version of Git: you
shouldn't create this file.

add 'git credential' plumbing command

The credential API is in C, and not available to scripting languages.
Expose the functionalities of the API by wrapping them into a new
plumbing command "git credentials".

In other words, replace the internal "test-credential" by an official Git
command.

git credential fill: output the whole 'struct credential'

Instead of outputing only the username and password, print all the
attributes, even those that already appeared in the input.

This is closer to what the C API does, and allows one to take the exact
output of "git credential fill" as input to "git credential approve" or
"git credential reject".

git-remote-mediawiki: add credential support

The previous version implemented the possibility to log in a wiki, but
the username and password had to be provided as configuration variables.
We add the possibility to use the Git credential system to prompt
the password.

The support if implemented with generic functions that mimic the C API,
designed to be usable from other contexts in the future (i.e. they may
migrate to Git.pm if someone is interested).

While we're there, do a bit of refactoring in mw_connect_maybe.

Merge branch 'jc/rev-list-simplify-merges-first-parent' into jch

When "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" is given together with
"--first-parent" to "git log", the combination of these options
makes the simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that
haven't been examined for relevance, either producing incorrect
result or taking too long to produce any output.  Teach the
simplification logic to ignore commits that the first-parent
traversal logic ignored when both are in effect to work around the
issue.

* jc/rev-list-simplify-merges-first-parent:
  revision: ignore side parents while running simplify-merges
  revision: note the lack of free() in simplify_merges()
