When we have a remote-tracking branch named "frotz/nitfol" from a
previous fetch, and the upstream now has a branch named "frotz",
fetch would fail to remove "frotz/nitfol" with a "git fetch --prune"
from the upstream. git would inform the user to use "git remote
prune" to fix the problem.
Change the way "fetch --prune" works by moving the pruning operation
before the fetching operation. This way, instead of warning the user

Subversion serf backend in versions 1.8.5 and below has a bug(*) that the
function creating the descriptor of a file change -- add_file() --
doesn't make a copy of its third argument when storing it on the

transactions of file copying or renaming) it may well be released, and
the memory reused.
One of its possible manifestations is the svn assertion triggering on an

log: properly handle decorations with chained tags
git log did not correctly handle decorations when a tag object referenced
another tag object that was no longer a ref, such as when the second tag was
deleted. The commit would not be decorated correctly because parse_object had
not been called on the second tag and therefore its tagged field had not been
filled in, resulting in none of the tags being associated with the relevant
commit.
Call parse_object to fill in this field if it is absent so that the chain of
tags can be dereferenced and the commit can be properly decorated. Include
tests as well to prevent future regressions.

diff: let "git diff -O" read orderfile from any file and fail properly
The -O flag really shouldn't silently fail to do anything when given
a path that it can't read from.
However, it should be able to read from un-mmappable files, such as:
* pipes/fifos
* /dev/null: It's a character device (at least on Linux)
* ANY empty file:
Quoting Linux mmap(2), "SUSv3 specifies that mmap() should fail if
length is 0. However, in kernels before 2.6.12, mmap() succeeded in
this case: no mapping was created and the call returned addr. Since
kernel 2.6.12, mmap() fails with the error EINVAL for this case."
We especially want "-O/dev/null" to work, since we will be documenting
it as the way to cancel "diff.orderfile" when we add that.
(Note: "-O/dev/null" did have the right effect, since the existing error
handling essentially worked out to "silently ignore the orderfile". But
this was probably more coincidence than anything else.)
So, lets toss all of that logic to get the file mmapped and just use
strbuf_read_file() instead, which gives us decent error handling
practically for free.

The BFG is a tool specifically designed for the task of removing
unwanted data from Git repository history - a common use-case for which
git-filter-branch has been the traditional workhorse.
It's beneficial to let users know that filter-branch has an alternative
here:
* speed : The BFG is 10-50x faster
http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#speed
* complexity of configuration : filter-branch is a very flexible tool,
but demands very careful usage in order to get the desired results
http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#examples
Obviously, filter-branch has it's advantages too - it permits very
complex rewrites, and doesn't require a JVM - but for the common
use-case of deleting unwanted data, it's helpful to users to be aware
that an alternative exists.
The BFG was released under the GPL in February 2013, and has since seen
widespread production use (The Guardian, RedHat, Google, UK Government
Digital Service), been tested against large repos (~300K commits, ~5GB
packfiles) and received significant positive feedback from users:

Replace those buffers by strbufs so that their size is automatically
grown if necessary. They are created as static local variables to avoid
reallocating memory on each call. Note that prefix_filename() returns
this static buffer so each callers should copy or use the string
immediately (this is currently true).

The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.
This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what

When checking to see if some objects are of the same type
and when displaying the type of objects, git replace uses
the sha1_object_info() function.
Unfortunately this function by default respects replace
refs, so instead of the type of a replaced object, it
gives the type of the replacement object which might
be different.
To fix this bug, and because git replace should work at a
level before replacement takes place, let's unset the
read_replace_refs global variable at the beginning of
