git-describe: --long shows the object name even for a tagged commit
This is useful when you want to see parts of the commit object name
in "describe" output, even when the commit in question happens to be
a tagged version. Instead of just emitting the tag name, it will
describe such a commit as v1.2-0-deadbeef (0th commit since tag v1.2
that points at object deadbeef....).

Add tests for filesystem challenges (case and unicode normalization)
Git has difficulties on file systems that do not properly
distinguish case or modify filenames in unexpected ways. The two
major examples are Windows and Mac OS X. Both systems preserve
case of file names but do not distinguish between filenames that
differ only by case. Simple operations such as "git mv" or
"git merge" can fail unexpectedly. In addition, Mac OS X normalizes
unicode, which make git's life even harder.
This commit adds tests that currently fail but should pass if
file system as decribed above are fully supported. The test need
to be run on Windows and Mac X as they already pass on Linux.
Mitch Tishmack is the original author of the tests for unicode
normalization.

settings like:
If we have an alias "foo" defined, then the help text for
"foo" (via "git help foo" or "git foo --help") now shows the
definition of the alias.
Before showing an alias definition, we make sure that there
is no git command which would override the alias (so that
even though you may have a "log" alias, even though it will
not work, we don't want to it supersede "git help log").

Eliminate confusing "won't bisect on seeked tree" failure
This error message is very confusing---it doesn't tell the user
anything about how to fix the situation. And the actual fix
for the situation ("git bisect reset") does a checkout of a
potentially random branch, (compared to what the user wants to
be on for the bisect she is starting).
The simplest way to eliminate the confusion is to just make
"git bisect start" do the cleanup itself. There's no significant
loss of safety here since we already have a general safety in
the form of the reflog.
Note: We preserve the warning for any cogito users. We do this
by switching from .git/head-name to .git/BISECT_START for the

Use git-describe --exact-match in bash prompt on detached HEAD
Most of the time when I am on a detached HEAD and I am not doing
a rebase or bisect operation the working directory is sitting on a
tagged release of the repository. Showing the tag name instead of
the commit SHA-1 is much more descriptive and a much better reminder
of the state of this working directory.
Now that git-describe --exact-match is available as a cheap means
of obtaining the exact annotated tag or nothing at all, we can

Teach git-describe --exact-match to avoid expensive tag searches
Sometimes scripts want (or need) the annotated tag name that exactly
matches a specific commit, or no tag at all. In such cases it can be
difficult to determine if the output of `git describe $commit` is a
real tag name or a tag+abbreviated commit. A common idiom is to run
git-describe twice:
if test $(git describe $commit) = $(git describe --abbrev=0 $commit)
...
but this is a huge waste of time if the caller is just going to pick a
different method to describe $commit or abort because it is not exactly
an annotated tag.
Setting the maximum number of candidates to 0 allows the caller to ask
for only a tag that directly points at the supplied commit, or to have
git-describe abort if no such item exists.

Teach git-describe to use peeled ref information when scanning tags
By using the peeled ref information inside of the packed-refs file we

Optimize peel_ref for the current ref of a for_each_ref callback
Currently the only caller of peel_ref is show-ref, which is using
this function to show the peeled tag information if it is available
from an existing packed-refs file. The call happens during the
for_each_ref callback function, so we have the proper struct ref_list
already on the call stack but it is not easily available to return
the peeled information to the caller.
We now save the current struct ref_list item before calling back
into the callback function so that future calls to peel_ref from
within the callback function can quickly access the current ref.
Doing so will save us an lstat() per ref processed as we no longer
have to check the filesystem to see if the ref exists as a loose
file or is packed. This current ref caching also saves a linear
scan of the cached packed refs list.
As a micro-optimization we test the address of the passed ref name
against the current_ref->name before we go into the much more costly
strcmp(). Nearly any caller of peel_ref will be passing us the same
string do_for_each_ref passed them, which is current_ref->name.

So I find it irritating when git thinks for a long time without telling me
what's taking so long. And by "long time" I definitely mean less than two
seconds, which is already way too long for me.
This hits me when doing a large pull and the checkout takes a long time,
or when just switching to another branch that is old and again checkout
takes a while.
Now, git read-tree already had support for the "-v" flag that does nice
updates about what's going on, but it was delayed by two seconds, and if
the thing had already done more than half by then it would be quiet even
after that, so in practice it meant that we migth be quiet for up to four
seconds. Much too long.
So this patch changes the timeout to just one second, which makes it much
more palatable to me.
The other thing this patch does is that "git checkout" now doesn't disable
the "-v" flag when doing its thing, and only disables the output when
given the -q flag. When allowing "checkout -m" to fall back to a 3-way
merge, the users will see the error message from straight "checkout",
so we will tell them that we do fall back to make them look less scary.

pack-objects: Add runtime detection of online CPU's
Packing objects can be done in parallell nowadays, but it's
only done if the config option pack.threads is set to a value
above 1. Because of that, the code-path used is often not the
most optimal one.
This patch adds a routine to detect the number of online CPU's
at runtime (online_cpus()). When pack.threads (or --threads=) is
given a value of 0, the number of threads is set to the number of
online CPU's. This feature is also documented.
As per Nicolas Pitre's recommendations, the default is still to
run pack-objects single-threaded unless explicitly activated,
either by configuration or by command line parameter.
The routine online_cpus() is a rework of "numcpus.c", written by

We handled the case of removing and re-inserting cache entries badly,
which is something that merging commonly needs to do (removing the
different stages, and then re-inserting one of them as the merged
state).
We even had a rather ugly special case for this failure case, where
replace_index_entry() basically turned itself into a no-op if the new
and the old entries were the same, exactly because the hash routines
didn't handle it on their own.
So what this patch does is to not just have the UNHASHED bit, but a
HASHED bit too, and when you insert an entry into the name hash, that
involves:
- clear the UNHASHED bit, because now it's valid again for lookup
(which is really all that UNHASHED meant)
- if we're being lazy, we're done here (but we still want to clear the
UNHASHED bit regardless of lazy mode, since we can become unlazy
later, and so we need the UNHASHED bit to always be set correctly,
even if we never actually insert the entry into the hash list)
- if it was already hashed, we just leave it on the list
- otherwise mark it HASHED and insert it into the list
this all means that unhashing and rehashing a name all just works
automatically. Obviously, you cannot change the name of an entry (that
would be a serious bug), but nothing can validly do that anyway (you'd
have to allocate a new struct cache_entry anyway since the name length
could change), so that's not a new limitation.
The code actually gets simpler in many ways, although the lazy hashing
does mean that there are a few odd cases (ie something can be marked
unhashed even though it was never on the hash in the first place, and
isn't actually marked hashed!).

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]
We were returning the _address of_ the stored item (or NULL)
instead of the item itself. While this sort of indirection
is useful for insertion (since you can lookup and then
modify), it is unnecessary for read-only lookup. Since the
hash code splits these functions between the internal
lookup_hash_entry function and the public lookup_hash
function, it makes sense for the latter to provide what
users of the library expect.
The result of this was that the index caching returned bogus
results on lookup. We unfortunately didn't catch this
because we were returning a "struct cache_entry **" as a
"void *", and accidentally assigning it to a "struct
cache_entry *".
As it happens, this actually _worked_ most of the time,
because the entries were defined as:
meaning that interpreting a "struct cache_entry **" as a
"struct cache_entry *" would yield an entry where all fields
were totally bogus _except_ for the next pointer, which
pointed to the actual cache entry. When walking the list, we
would look at the bogus "name" field, which was unlikely to
match our lookup, and then proceed to the "real" entry.
The reading of bogus data was silently ignored most of the
time, but could cause a segfault for some data (which seems
to be more common on OS X).

git-gui: Avoid hardcoded Windows paths in Cygwin package files
When we are being built by the Cygwin package maintainers we need to
embed the POSIX path to our library files and not the Windows path.
Embedding the Windows path means all end-users who install our Cygwin
package would be required to install Cygwin at the same Windows path
as the package maintainer had Cygwin installed to. This requirement
is simply not user-friendly and may be infeasible for a large number
of our users.
We now try to auto-detect if the Tcl/Tk binary we will use at runtime
is capable of translating POSIX paths into Windows paths the same way
that cygpath does the translations. If the Tcl/Tk binary gives us the
same results then it understands the Cygwin path translation process
and should be able to read our library files from a POSIX path name.
If it does not give us the same answer as cygpath then the Tcl/Tk
binary might actually be a native Win32 build (one that is not
linked against Cygwin) and thus requires the native Windows path
to our library files. We can assume this is not a Cygwin package
as the Cygwin maintainers do not currently ship a pure Win32 build
of Tcl/Tk.

tclsh during builds so headless systems are still able to create an
index file and create message files without GNU msgfmt. So it matters
to us that we find a working TCL_PATH at build time.
If TCL_PATH hasn't been set yet we can take a better guess about what
tclsh executable to use by replacing 'wish' in the executable path with
'tclsh'. We only do this replacement on the filename part of the path,
just in case the string "wish" appears in the directory paths. Most of
the time the tclsh will be installed alongside wish so this replacement
is a sensible and safe default.

When invalidating unmerged entries in the index, we used to set
their ce_mode to 0 to note the fact that they do not matter
anymore which also made sure that later unpack_trees() call
would not reuse them. Instead just remove them from the index.

git-gui: Gracefully display non-aspell version errors to users
If the user has somehow managed to make us execute ispell instead
of aspell, even though our code is invoking aspell, and ispell is
not recognizing the aspell command line options we use to invoke
it then we don't want a giant usage message back from ispell.
Instead we show the ispell version number, letting the user know
we don't actually support that spell checker.

git-gui: Catch and display aspell startup failures to the user
If we feed a bad dictionary name to aspell on startup it may appear
to start (as Tcl found the executable in our $PATH) but it fails to
give us the version string. In such a case the close of the pipe
will report the exit status of the process (failure) and that is
an error in Tcl.
We now trap the subprocess failure and display the stderr message
from it, letting the user know why the failure is happening. We then
disable the spell checker, but keep our object instance so the user
can alter their preferred dictionary through the options dialog, and
possibly restart the spell checker.
I was also originally wrong to use "error" here for the display
of the problem to the user. I meant to use "error_popup", which
will open a message box and show the failure in a GUI context,
rather than killing git-gui and showing the message on the console.
Noticed by Ilari on #git.

git-gui: Only bind the spellcheck popup suggestion hook once
If we reconnect to the spellchecker there is no reason to resetup
the binding for button 3 on our text widget to show the suggestion
list (if available).
Plus, by moving it out of _connect and into init we can now break
out of _connect earlier if there is something wrong with the pipe,
for example if the dictionary we were asked to load is not valid.

git-gui: Remove explicit references to 'aspell' in message strings
Users may or may not be using aspell here. About the only thing
we are using that is aspell specific (and not supported by ispell
or an ispell variant) is some command line options when we start
up aspell, and a forced encoding of UTF-8. Both of these can be
corrected and/or cleaned up by users through an aspell wrapper
script, or through further improvements to git-gui. There is no
reason to require our translated strings to reference a specific
spell checker, especially if that spell checker implementation is
not very suitable for the language being translated.

git-gui: Ensure all spellchecker 'class' variables are initialized
If we somehow managed to get our spellchecker instance created but
aspell wasn't startable we may not finish _connect and thus may
find one or more of our fields was not initialized in the instance.
If we have an instance but no version, there is no reason to show
a version to the user in our about dialog. We effectively have no
spellchecker available.

git-gui: Ensure error dialogs always appear over all other windows
If we are opening an error dialog we want it to appear above all of
the other windows, even those that we may have opened with a grab
to make the window modal. Failure to do so may allow an error
dialog to open up (and grab focus!) under an existing toplevel,
making the user think git-gui has frozen up and is unresponsive,
as they cannot get to the dialog.

I expected git grep --name-only to give me only the file names,

git_config_*: don't assume we are parsing a config file

checkout: tone down the "forked status" diagnostic messages
When checking out a branch that is behind or forked from a
branch you are building on top of, we used to show full
left-right log but if you already _know_ you have long history
since you forked, it is a bit too much.
This tones down the message quite a bit, by only showing the
number of commits each side has since they diverged. Also the
message is not shown at all under --quiet.
git-clone.sh: properly configure remote even if remote's head is dangling
When cloning a remote repository which's HEAD refers to a nonexistent
ref, git-clone cloned all existing refs, but failed to write the
configuration for 'remote'. Now it detects the dangling remote HEAD,
refuses to checkout any local branch since HEAD refers to nowhere, but
properly writes the configuration for 'remote', so that subsequent
'git fetch's don't fail.
The problem was reported by Daniel Jacobowitz through

When pushing a refspec like "HEAD", we used to treat it as
"HEAD:HEAD", which didn't work without rewriting. Instead, we should
resolve the ref. If it's a symref, further require it to point to a
branch, to avoid doing anything especially unexpected. Also remove the
rewriting previously added in builtin-push.
Since the code for "HEAD" uses the regular refspec parsing, it
automatically handles "+HEAD" without anything special.
[jc: added a further test to make sure that "remote.*.push = HEAD" works]
