git-completion.bash: Autocomplete --minimal and --histogram for git-diff

Even though --patience was already there, we missed --minimal and
--histogram for some reason.

config: Introduce diff.algorithm variable

Some users or projects prefer different algorithms over others, e.g.
patience over myers or similar. However, specifying appropriate
argument every time diff is to be used is impractical. Moreover,
creating an alias doesn't play nicely with other tools based on diff
(git-show for instance). Hence, a configuration variable which is able
to set specific algorithm is needed. For now, these four values are
accepted: 'myers' (which has the same effect as not setting the config
variable at all), 'minimal', 'patience' and 'histogram'.

diff: Introduce --diff-algorithm command line option

Since command line options have higher priority than config file
variables and taking previous commit into account, we need a way
how to specify myers algorithm on command line. However,
inventing `--myers` is not the right answer. We need far more
general option, and that is `--diff-algorithm`.

upload-pack: share more code

We mark the objects pointed at our refs with "OUR_REF" flag in two
functions (mark_our_ref() and send_ref()), but we can just use the
former as a helper for the latter.

Update the way mark_our_ref() prepares in-core object to use
lookup_unknown_object() to delay reading the actual object data,
just like we did in 435c833 (upload-pack: use peel_ref for ref
advertisements, 2012-10-04).

upload-pack: simplify request validation

Long time ago, we used to punt on a large (read: asking for more
than 256 refs) fetch request and instead sent a full pack, because
we couldn't fit many refs on the command line of rev-list we run
internally to enumerate the objects to be sent.  To fix this,
565ebbf (upload-pack: tighten request validation., 2005-10-24),
added a check to count the number of refs in the request and matched
with the number of refs we advertised, and changed the invocation of
rev-list to pass "--all" to it, still keeping us under the command
line argument limit.

However, these days we feed the list of objects requested and the
list of objects the other end is known to have via standard input,
so there is no longer a valid reason to special case a full clone
request.  Remove the code associated with "create_full_pack" to
simplify the logic.

doc: mention tracking for pull.default

When looking at a configuration file edited long time ago, a user
may find 'pull.default = tracking' and wonder what it means, but
earlier we stopped mentioning this value, even though the code still
support it and more importantly, we have no intention to force old
timers to update their configuration files.

Instead of not mentioning it, add it to the description in a way
that makes it clear that users have no reason to add new uses of it
preferring over 'upstream', by not listing it as a separate item on
the same footing as other values but as a deprecated synonym of the
'upstream' in its description.

upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies

A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.

Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable.  Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable.  As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.

Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).

Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.

An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected.  This
is not a new restriction.  To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs.  I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit".  The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

log: re-encode commit messages before grepping

If you run "git log --grep=foo", we will run your regex on
the literal bytes of the commit message. This can provide
confusing results if the commit message is not in the same
encoding as your grep expression (or worse, you have commits
in multiple encodings, in which case your regex would need
to be written to match either encoding). On top of this, we
might also be grepping in the commit's notes, which are
already re-encoded, potentially leading to grepping in a
buffer with mixed encodings concatenated. This is insanity,
but most people never noticed, because their terminal and
their commit encodings all match.

Instead, let's massage the to-be-grepped commit into a
standardized encoding. There is not much point in adding a
flag for "this is the encoding I expect my grep pattern to
match"; the only sane choice is for it to use the log output
encoding. That is presumably what the user's terminal is
using, and it means that the patterns found by the grep will
match the output produced by git.

As a bonus, this fixes a potential segfault in commit_match
when commit->buffer is NULL, as we now build on logmsg_reencode,
which handles reading the commit buffer from disk if
necessary. The segfault can be triggered with:

        git commit -m 'text1' --allow-empty
        git commit -m 'text2' --allow-empty
        git log --graph --no-walk --grep 'text2'

which arguably does not make any sense (--graph inherently
wants a connected history, and by --no-walk the command line
is telling us to show discrete points in history without
connectivity), and we probably should forbid the
combination, but that is a separate issue.
