apply.c:update_pre_post_images(): the preimage can be truncated

5166714 (apply: Allow blank context lines to match beyond EOF,
2010-03-06) and then later 0c3ef98 (apply: Allow blank *trailing*
context lines to match beyond EOF, 2010-04-08) taught "git apply"
to trim new blank lines at the end in the patch text when matching
the contents being patched and the preimage recorded in the patch,
under --whitespace=fix mode.

When a preimage is modified to match the current contents in
preparation for such a "fixed" patch application, the context lines
in the postimage must be updated to match (otherwise, it would
reintroduce whitespace breakages), and update_pre_post_images()
function is responsible for doing this.  However, this function was
not updated to take into account a case where the removal of
trailing blank lines reduces the number of lines in the preimage,
and triggered an assertion error.

The logic to fix the postimage by copying the corrected context
lines from the preimage was not prepared to handle this case,
either, but it was protected by the assert() and only got exposed
when the assertion is corrected.

pickaxe: hoist empty needle check

If we are given an empty pickaxe needle like "git log -S ''",
it is impossible for us to find anything (because no matter
what the content, the count will always be 0). We currently
check this at the lowest level of contains(). Let's hoist
the logic much earlier to has_changes(), so that it is
simpler to return our answer before loading any blob data.

pickaxe: use textconv for -S counting

We currently just look at raw blob data when using "-S" to
pickaxe. This is mostly historical, as pickaxe predates the
textconv feature. If the user has bothered to define a
textconv filter, it is more likely that their search string will be
on the textconv output, as that is what they will see in the
diff (and we do not even provide a mechanism for them to
search for binary needles that contain NUL characters).

This patch teaches "-S" to use textconv, just as we
already do for "-G".

longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes

Change longest_ancestor_length() to take the prefixes argument as a

it easier for the caller to alter the entries before calling
longest_ancestor_length().

longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized

Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from
longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different
normalizations at the two callers:

In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which
ignores paths that are not usable.  In the next commit we will change
this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization.

In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old
normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable.  Also change t0060
to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or
non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove
tests that thereby become redundant).

The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length
tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing
only mostly longest_prefix.  This is necessary because when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of
its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the
test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the
contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is
run.  HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like
absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths.  So we have to retain the level
of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the
bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use
forward slashes.

setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths

longest_ancestor_length() relies on a textual comparison of directory
parts to find the part of path that overlaps with one of the paths in
prefix_list.  But this doesn't work if any of the prefixes involves a
symbolic link, because the directories will look different even though
they might logically refer to the same directory.  So canonicalize the
paths listed in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES using real_path_if_valid()
before passing them to longest_ancestor_length().  (Also rename
normalize_ceiling_entry() to canonicalize_ceiling_entry() to reflect
the change.)

path is already in canonical form, so doesn't need to be canonicalized
again.

This fixes some problems with using GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that
contains paths involving symlinks, including t4035 if run with --root
set to a path involving symlinks.

Please note that test t0060 is *not* changed analogously, because that
would make the test suite results dependent on the contents of the
local root directory.  However, real_path() is already tested
independently, and the "ancestor" tests cover the non-normalization
aspects of longest_ancestor_length(), so coverage remains sufficient.

string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function

This function was added in f103f95b11d087f07c0c48bf784cd9197e18f203 in
the erroneous expectation that it would be used in the
reimplementation of longest_ancestor_length().  But it turned out to
be easier to use a function specialized for comparing path prefixes
(i.e., one that knows about slashes and root paths) than to prepare
the paths in such a way that a generic string prefix comparison
function can be used.  So delete string_list_longest_prefix() and its
documentation and test cases.

completion: add new zsh completion

It seems there's always issues with zsh's bash completion emulation.
I've tried to fix as many as I could[1], and most of the fixes are already
in the latest version of zsh, but still, there are issues.

There is no point going through all that pain; the emulation is easy to
achieve, and this patch works better than zsh's bash completion
emulation.

completion: start moving to the new zsh completion

Zsh's bash completion emulation is buggy, not properly maintained, and
we have some workarounds in place for different bugs that appeared in
various versions.

Since I'm the only one that has worked on that code lately[1], it might make
snese to use the code I wrote specifically for git.

The advantages are:

 1) Less workarounds

   * No need to hack __get_comp_words_by_ref
   * No need to hack IFS or words

 2) Improved features

   * 'git show master' now properly adds a space at the end (IFS bug)
   * 'git checkout --conflict=' now properly returns the sub-items
     (missing feature)

 3) Consolidated code

   * It's all now in a single chunk, and it's basically the same as
     git-completion.zsh

Since there's some interest in moving the zsh-specific code out of this
script, lets go ahead and warn the users that they should be using
git-completion.zsh.

still checking for a working tree by testing for a '.git' directory.

if you don't have a curl development package installed.

The intent is not to alarm the user, but just to test if there is
a new enough curl installed.  However, if you look at search engine
suggested completions, the above "error" messages are confusing
people into thinking curl is a hard requirement.

Redirect this error output to /dev/null as it is not necessary to be
shown to the end users.
