git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMAND

It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH
when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative
way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line
arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable,
which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell.

The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using
PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH;
in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to
the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling
the underlying ssh implementation.

trailer: ignore comment lines inside the trailers

Otherwise trailers that are commented out might be

char is also a separator.

This means that comments inside a trailer block will

builtin/notes: fix premature failure when trying to add the empty blob

This fixes a small buglet when trying to explicitly add the empty blob
as a note object using the -c or -C option to git notes add/append.
Instead of failing with a nonsensical error message indicating that the
empty blob does not exist, we should rather behave as if an empty notes
message was given (e.g. using -m "" or -F /dev/null).

The next patch contains a test that verifies the fixed behavior.

builtin/notes: improve naming

In preparation for some needed refactoring, rename struct msg_arg to
struct note_data, and rename its instances from "msg" to "d" (also
removing some unnecessary parentheses). The 'msg_arg' name was
inherited from tag.c, but is not really a good name for the contents
of a note.

Also rename write_note_data() to copy_obj_to_fd(), which more aptly
describes what it actually does: Copying the contents of a git object
(given by its SHA1) into a given file descriptor.

Move the 'path' variable from create_note() and into the

future refactoring of create_note() considerably cleaner.

builtin/notes: split create_note() to clarify add vs. remove logic

create_note() has a non-trivial interface, and comprises three loosely
related parts:

 1. launching the editor with the note contents, if needed
 2. appending to an existing note, if append_only was given
 3. adding or removing the resulting note, based on whether it's non-empty

Split it along those lines to make the logic clearer: The first part
goes into a new function - prepare_note_data(), with a simpler interface.
The second part is moved into append_edit(), which is the only user of
this code. Finally, the add vs. remove decision is moved into the callers
(add() and append_edit()), keeping the logic for writing the actual note
object in a separate function: write_note_data().

builtin/notes: add --allow-empty, to allow storing empty notes

Although the "git notes" man page advertises that we support binary-safe
notes addition (using the -C option), we currently do not support adding
the empty note (i.e. using the empty blob to annotate an object). Instead,
an empty note is always treated as an intent to remove the note
altogether.

Introduce the --allow-empty option to the add/append/edit subcommands,
to explicitly allow an empty note to be stored into the notes tree.

Also update the documentation, and add test cases for the new option.

checkout $tree: do not throw away unchanged index entries

When we "git checkout $tree", we pull paths from $tree into
the index, and then check the resulting entries out to the
worktree. Our method for the first step is rather
heavy-handed, though; it clobbers the entire existing index
entry, even if the content is the same. This means we lose
our stat information, leading checkout_entry to later
rewrite the entire file with identical content.

Instead, let's see if we have the identical entry already in
the index, in which case we leave it in place. That lets
checkout_entry do the right thing. Our tests cover two
interesting cases:

  1. We make sure that a file which has no changes is not
     rewritten.

  2. We make sure that we do update a file that is unchanged
     in the index (versus $tree), but has working tree
     changes. We keep the old index entry, and
     checkout_entry is able to realize that our stat
     information is out of date.

Make this test script appear somewhat less old-fashioned:

    - test_commit
    - test_write_lines
    - test_line_count
    - test_config
    - test_unconfig
    - test_path_is_missing

 - Remove whitespace between redirection operators and their targets.

 - Move preparation of "expect" files into tests.

 - Rename "output" files to "actual".

 - More consistent quoting, especially around commands that might
   expand to nothing.

 - More visibility of important whitespace with ${indent}.

 - Combine pairs of tests that unnecessarily split setup and verification.

Windows: correct detection of EISDIR in mingw_open()

According to the Linux open(2) man page, open() must return EISDIR
if a directory was attempted to be opened for writing. Our emulation
in mingw_open() does not get this right: it checks only for O_CREAT.

Fix it to check for a write request.

This fixes a failure in reflog handling, which opens files with
O_APPEND|O_WRONLY, but without O_CREAT, and expects EISDIR when the
named file happens to be a directory.
