mailmap: work around implementations with pure inline strcasecmp

On some systems (e.g. MinGW 4.0), string.h has only inline
definition of strcasecmp and no non-inline implementation is
supplied anywhere, which is, eh, "unusual".  We cannot take an
address of such a function to store it in namemap.cmp.

Work it around by introducing our own level of indirection.

name-hash: refactor polymorphic index_name_exists()

Depending upon the absence or presence of a trailing '/' on the incoming
pathname, index_name_exists() checks either if a file is present in the
index or if a directory is represented within the index. Each caller
explicitly chooses the mode of operation by adding or removing a
trailing '/' before invoking index_name_exists().

Since these two modes of operations are disjoint and have no code in
common (one searches index_state.name_hash; the other dir_hash), they
can be represented more naturally as distinct functions: one to search
for a file, and one for a directory.

Splitting index searching into two functions relieves callers of the
artificial burden of having to add or remove a slash to select the mode
of operation; instead they just call the desired function. A subsequent
patch will take advantage of this benefit in order to eliminate the
requirement that the incoming pathname for a directory search must have
a trailing slash.

(In order to avoid disturbing in-flight topics, index_name_exists() is
retained as a thin wrapper dispatching either to index_dir_exists() or
index_file_exists().)

employ new explicit "exists in index?" API

Each caller of index_name_exists() knows whether it is looking for a
directory or a file, and can avoid the unnecessary indirection of
index_name_exists() by instead calling index_dir_exists() or
index_file_exists() directly.

Invoking the appropriate search function explicitly will allow a
subsequent patch to relieve callers of the artificial burden of having
to add a trailing '/' to the pathname given to index_dir_exists().

name-hash: stop storing trailing '/' on paths in index_state.dir_hash

When 5102c617 (Add case insensitivity support for directories when using
git status, 2010-10-03) added directories to the name-hash there was
only a single hash table in which both real cache entries and leading
directory prefixes were registered. To distinguish between the two types
of entries, directories were stored with a trailing '/'.

2092678c (name-hash.c: fix endless loop with core.ignorecase=true,
2013-02-28), however, moved directories to a separate hash table
(index_state.dir_hash) but retained the (now) redundant trailing '/',
thus callers continue to bear the burden of ensuring the slash's
presence before searching the index for a directory. Eliminate this
redundancy by storing paths in the dir-hash without the trailing '/'.

An important benefit of this change is that it eliminates undocumented
and dangerous behavior of dir.c:directory_exists_in_index_icase() in
which it assumes not only that it can validly access one character
beyond the end of its incoming directory argument, but also that that
character will unconditionally be a '/'. This perilous behavior was
"tolerated" because the string passed in by its lone caller always had a
'/' in that position, however, things broke [1] when 2eac2a4c (ls-files
-k: a directory only can be killed if the index has a non-directory,
2013-08-15) added a new caller which failed to respect the undocumented
assumption.

dir: revert work-around for retired dangerous behavior

directory_exists_in_index_icase() dangerously assumed that it could
access one character beyond the end of its directory argument, and that
that character would unconditionally be '/'.  2eac2a4c (ls-files -k: a
directory only can be killed if the index has a non-directory,
2013-08-15) added a caller which did not respect this undocumented
assumption, and 680be044 (dir.c::test_one_path(): work around
directory_exists_in_index_icase() breakage, 2013-08-23) added a
work-around which temporarily appends a '/' before invoking
directory_exists_in_index_icase().

Since the dangerous behavior of directory_exists_in_index_icase() has
been eliminated, the work-around is now redundant, so retire it (but not
the tests added by the same commit).

contacts: fix to work in subdirectories

Unlike other git commands which work correctly at the top-level or in a

shortlog: ignore commits with missing authors

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.

completion: improve untracked directory filtering for filename completion

Similar to Bash's default filename completion, our git-aware filename
completion stops at directory boundaries, i.e. it doesn't offer the
full 'path/to/file' at first, but only 'path/'.  To achieve that the
completion script runs 'git ls-files' with specific command line
options to get the list of relevant paths under the current directory,
and then processes each path to strip all but the base directory or
filename (see __git_index_files()).

To offer only modified and untracked files for 'git add' the
completion script runs 'git ls-files --exclude-standard --others
--modified'.  This command lists all non-ignored files in untracked
directories, which leads to a noticeable delay caused by the
processing mentioned above if there are a lot of such files
(__git_index_files() specifies '--exclude-standard' internally):

  $ mkdir untracked-dir
  $ for i in {1..10000} ; do >untracked-dir/$i ; done
  $ time __git_index_files "--others --modified"
  untracked-dir

  real	0m0.537s
  user	0m0.452s
  sys	0m0.160s

Eliminate this delay by additionally passing the '--directory
--no-empty-directory' options to 'git ls-files' to show only the
directory name of non-empty untracked directories instead their whole
content:

  $ time __git_index_files "--others --modified --directory --no-empty-directory"
  untracked-dir

  real	0m0.029s
  user	0m0.020s
  sys	0m0.004s

Filename completion for 'git clean' suffers from the same delay, as it
offers untracked files, too.  The fix could be the same, but since it
actually makes sense to 'git clean' empty directories, in this case we
only pass the '--directory' option to 'git ls-files'.

format-patch: print in-body "From" only when needed

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.
