request-pull: really favor a matching tag

After tagging the tip of "dev" branch with a "for-linus" tag and
pushing both out, running

	$ git request-pull $url $last_release dev

would produce an output asking the 'dev' branch of $url to be
pulled, because that is what the user asked the message to say.

We already detect this situation locally and include the contents of
the tag in the output; if the $url has that tag, favor that tag
(i.e. "for-linus") in the generated message over the branch name the
user gave us (i.e. "dev") from the command line, to make the output
look more consistent.

ls-files -i: pay attention to exclusion of leading paths

"git ls-files --exclude=t/ -i" does not show paths in directory t/
that have been added to the index, but it should.

The excluded() API was designed for callers who walk the tree from
the top, checking each level of the directory hierarchy as it
descends if it is excluded, and not even bothering to recurse into
an excluded directory.  This would allow us optimize for a common
case by not having to check if the exclude pattern "foo/" matches
when looking at "foo/bar", because the caller should have noticed
that "foo" is excluded and did not even bother to read "foo/bar"
out of opendir()/readdir() to call it.

The code for "ls-files -i" however walks the index linearly, feeding
paths without checking if the leading directory is already excluded.

Introduce a helper function path_excluded() to let this caller
properly call excluded() check for higher hierarchies as necessary.

ls-files -i: micro-optimize path_excluded()

As we know a caller that does not recurse is calling us in the index
order, we can remember the last directory we found to be excluded
and see if the path we are looking at is still inside it, in which
case we can just answer that it is excluded.

tweak "bundle verify" of a complete history

A bundle that records a complete history without prerequiste is a
useful way to sneakernet the sources of your configuration files
under your home directory, etc.  E.g.

    $ GIT_DIR=/srv/git/homesrc.git git bundle create x.bndl HEAD master

Running "git bundle verify" on such a "complete" bundle, however,
gives somewhat a funny output.

    $ git bundle verify x.bndl
    The bundle contains 2 refs
    b2611f37ebc7ed6435a72d77fbc5f8b48a7d7146 HEAD
    b2611f37ebc7ed6435a72d77fbc5f8b48a7d7146 refs/heads/master
    The bundle requires these 0 refs
    x.bndl is okay

Reword "requires these 0 refs" to say "The bundle records a complete
history" instead.

unpack-trees.c: use path_excluded() in check_ok_to_remove()

This function is responsible for determining if a path that is not

It used excluded() without checking if higher level directory in the

revision: "simplify" options imply topo-order sort

The code internally runs sort_in_topo_order() already; it is more clear
to spell it out in the option parsing phase, instead of adding a special
case in simplify_merges() function.
revision: note the lack of free() in simplify_merges()

Among the three similar-looking loops that walk singly linked
commit_list, the first one is only peeking and the same list is
later used for real work.  Leave a comment not to mistakenly

update-index: allow overwriting existing submodule index entries

In commit e01105 Linus introduced gitlinks to update-index. He explains
that he thinks it is not the right thing to replace a gitlink with
something else.

That commit is from the very first beginnings of submodule support.
Since then we have gotten a lot closer to being able to remove a
submodule without losing its history. This check prevents such a use
case, so I think this assumption has changed.

Additionally in the git add codepath we do not have such a check, so for
consistency reasons I think removing this check is the correct thing to
do.

t: Replace 'perl' by $PERL_PATH

GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a
few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The
other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl
interpreter is used.

This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is
compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl
interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.

This patch makes sure that $PERL_PATH is used everywhere in the test suite
and that the correct perl interpreter is used.

archive: ustar header checksum is computed unsigned

POSIX.1 (pax) is pretty clear on this:

  The chksum field shall be the ISO/IEC 646:1991 standard IRV
  representation of the octal value of the simple sum of all octets
  in the header logical record. Each octet in the header shall be
  treated as an unsigned value. These values shall be added to an
  unsigned integer, initialized to zero, the precision of which is
  not less than 17 bits. When calculating the checksum, the chksum
  field is treated as if it were all <space> characters.

so is GNU:

revision: ignore side parents while running simplify-merges

The simplify_merges() function needs to look at all history chain to
find the closest ancestor that is relevant after the simplification,
but after --first-parent traversal, side parents haven't been marked
for relevance (they are irrelevant by definition due to the nature
of first-parent-only traversal) nor culled from the parents list of
resulting commits.

We cannot simply remove these side parents from the parents list, as
the output phase still wants to see the parents.  Instead, teach
simplify_one() and its callees to ignore the later parents.

git-cherry-pick.txt: clarify the use of revision range notation

When given a set of commits, cherry-pick will apply the changes for
all of them. Specifying a simple range will also work as expected.

This can lead the user to think that

    git cherry-pick A B..C

may apply A and then B..C, but that is not what happens.

Instead the revs are given to a single invocation of rev-list, which
will consider A and C as positive revs and B as a negative one.  The
commit A will not be used if it is an ancestor of B.

Add a note about this and add an example with this particular
syntax, which has shown up on the list a few times.

fix pager.diff with diff --no-index

git-diff does not rely on the git wrapper to setup its
pager; instead, it sets it up on its own after seeing
whether --quiet or --exit-code has been specified.  After
diff_no_index was split off from cmd_diff, commit b3fde6c
(git diff --no-index: default to page like other diff
frontends, 2008-05-26) duplicated the one-liner from
cmd_diff to turn on the pager.

Later, commit 8f0359f (Allow pager of diff command be
enabled/disabled, 2008-07-21) taught the the version in
cmd_diff to respect the pager.diff config, but the version
in diff_no_index was left behind. This meant that

  git -c pager.diff=0 diff a b

would not use a pager, but

  git -c pager.diff=0 diff --no-index a b

would.  Let's fix it by factoring out a common function.

While we're there, let's update the antiquated comment,
which claims that the pager interferes with propagating the
exit code; this has not been the case since ea27a18 (spawn
pager via run_command interface, 2008-07-22).

do not run pager with diff --no-index --quiet

There is no point in running a pager when --quiet is given,
since we are producing no output. The regular diff code path
handles this already, because --quiet implies --exit-code,
and we check for --exit-code when deciding not to run the
pager.

However, the "quiet implies exit-code" logic is done in
diff_setup_done, and the no-index code path sets up its
pager before running diff_setup_done, and misses this case.

We can fix this by reordering our initialization.
Currently we do:

  1. read command line arguments into diff_options

  2. Set pager if EXIT_CODE not requested

  3. always set EXIT_CODE, since we are emulating
     traditional diff

  4. call diff_setup_done

We can fix the problem by moving pager initialization (step
2) after step 4. But step 3 must come after step 2 (since we
want to know whether the _user_ requested --exit-code, not
whether we turned it on unconditionally). So we must move
both.

sha1_name: do not trigger detailed diagnosis for file arguments

diagnose_invalid_sha1_path() is meant to be called to diagnose a
misspelt <treeish>:<pathname> when <pathname> does not exist in
<treeish>.  However, the code may call it if <treeish>:<pathname> is
invalid (which triggers another call with only_to_die == 1), but for
another reason. This happens when calling e.g.

  git log existing-file HEAD:existing-file

because existing-file is a path and not a revision, the code
verifies that the arguments that follow to be paths.  This leads to
an incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD",
even though the path exists in HEAD.

Check that the search for <pathname> in <treeish> fails before
triggering the diagnosis.

verify_filename(): ask the caller to chose the kind of diagnosis

verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we
just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so
we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at
revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument
must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a
pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an
object name.

For example, with this change, we get:

  $ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant
  fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree.
  Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.
  $ git log HEAD:inexistant
  fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD'
