"help -a" (help all) gives the list of available commands and then
further gives hints on the use of "git help". Separate these into
two steps, because we will add "help -g" (help guides) that want to

branch: improve error message for missing --set-upstream-to ref
If we are trying to set the upstream config for a branch,
the create_branch function will check both that the name
resolves as a ref, and that it is either a local or
remote-tracking branch.
However, before we do so we run get_sha1 on it to find out
whether it resolves at all (since the create_branch function
is also used to create actual branches, it wants to know
where to start the new branch). This means that if you feed
a ref that does not exist to "branch --set-upstream-to",
rather than getting a helpful message about tracking, you
only get "not a valid object name".

filter-branch: return to original dir after filtering
The first thing filter-branch does is to create a temporary
directory, either ".git-rewrite" in the current directory
(which may be the working tree or the repository if bare),
or in a directory specified by "-d". We then chdir to
$tempdir/t as our temporary working directory in which to run
tree filters.
After finishing the filter, we then attempt to go back to
the original directory with "cd ../..". This works in the
.git-rewrite case, but if "-d" is used, we end up in a
random directory. The only thing we do after this chdir is
to run git-read-tree, but that means that:
1. The working directory is not updated to reflect the
filtered history.
2. We dump random files into "$tempdir/.." (e.g., if you
use "-d /tmp/foo", we dump junk into /tmp).
Fix it by recording the full path to the original directory
and returning there explicitly.

remote.c: introduce a way to have different remotes for fetch/push
Currently, do_push() in push.c calls remote_get(), which gets the
configured remote for fetching and pushing. Replace this call with a
call to pushremote_get() instead, a new function that will return the
remote configured specifically for pushing. This function tries to
work with the string pushremote_name, before falling back to the
codepath of remote_get(). This patch has no visible impact, but
serves to enable future patches to introduce configuration variables
to set pushremote_name. For example, you can now do the following in
handle_config():
if (!strcmp(key, "remote.pushdefault"))
git_config_string(&pushremote_name, key, value);
Then, pushes will automatically go to the remote specified by
remote.pushdefault.

It's reasonably easy to see what is being tested, with the
exception that "testrepo" is a magic global name (it is
implicitly used in the helpers, but we have to name it
explicitly when calling git directly). Let's make it
explicit when call the helpers, too. This is slightly more
typing, but makes the test snippets read more naturally.
It also makes it easy for future tests to use an alternate

rev-parse: clarify documentation for the --verify option
The old version could be read to mean that the argument has to refer
to a valid object, but that is incorrect:
* the object is not necessarily read (e.g., to check for corruption)
* if the argument is a 40-digit string of hex digits, then it is
accepted whether or not is is the name of an existing object.
So reword the explanation to be less ambiguous.
Also fix the examples involving --verify: to be sure that the argument
refers to a commit (rather than some other kind of object), the
argument has to be suffixed with "^{commit}". This trick is not
possible in the example involving --default, so don't imply that it is
exactly the same as the previous example.

submodule deinit: clarify work tree removal message
The output of "git submodule deinit sub" of a populated submodule prints
rm 'sub'
as the first line unless used with the -f option.
The "rm 'sub'" line is exactly the same output the user gets when using
"git rm sub" (because that command is used with the --dry-run option under
the hood to determine if the submodule is clean), which can easily lead to
the false impression that the submodule would be permanently removed. Also
users might be confused that the "rm 'submodule'" line won't show up when
the -f option is used, as the test is skipped in this case.
Silence the "rm 'submodule'" output by using the --quiet option for "git
rm" and always print
Cleared directory 'submodule'
instead as the first output line. This line is printed as long as the
directory exists, no matter if empty or not.

send-email: use "return;" not "return undef;" on error codepaths
All the callers of "ask", "extract_valid_address", and "validate_patch"
subroutines assign the return values from them to a single scalar:
$var = subr(...);

simpler "return;". Doing so will also future-proof a new caller that
mistakenly does this:
@foo = ask(...);
if (@foo) { ... we got an answer ... } else { ... we did not ... }
Note that we leave "return undef;" in validate_address on purpose,
even though Perlcritic may complain. The primary "return" site of
the function returns whatever is in the scalar variable $address, so
it is pointless to change only the other "return undef;" to "return".

A string that names an object can be suffixed with ^{type} peeler to
say "I have this object name; peel it until you get this type. If
you cannot do so, it is an error". v1.8.2^{commit} asks for a commit
that is pointed at an annotated tag v1.8.2; v1.8.2^{tree} unwraps it
further to the top-level tree object. A special suffix ^{} (i.e. no
type specified) means "I do not care what it unwraps to; just peel
annotated tag until you get something that is not a tag".
When you have a random user-supplied string, you can turn it to a
bare 40-hex object name, and cause it to error out if such an object
does not exist, with:
git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{}"
for most objects, but this does not yield the tag object name when
$userstring refers to an annotated tag.
Introduce a new suffix, ^{object}, that only makes sure the given
name refers to an existing object. Then
git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{object}"
becomes a way to make sure $userstring refers to an existing object.
This is necessary because the plumbing "rev-parse --verify" is only
about "make sure the argument is something we can feed to get_sha1()
and turn it into a raw 20-byte object name SHA-1" and is not about
"make sure that 20-byte object name SHA-1 refers to an object that
exists in our object store". When the given $userstring is already
a 40-hex, by definition "rev-parse --verify $userstring" can turn it
into a raw 20-byte object name. With "$userstring^{object}", we can
make sure that the 40-hex string names an object that exists in our
object store before "--verify" kicks in.
peel_onion: disambiguate to favor tree-ish when we know we want a tree-ish
The function already knows when interpreting $foo^{commit} to tell
the underlying get_sha1_1() to expect a commit-ish while evaluating
$foo. Teach it to do the same when asked for $foo^{tree}; we are
expecting a tree-ish and $foo should be disambiguated in favor of a
tree-ish, discarding a possible ambiguous match with a blob object.

If we manage to clone a remote repository but run into an
error in the checkout, it is probably sane to leave the repo
directory in place. That lets the user examine the situation
without spending time to re-clone from the remote (which may
be a lengthy process).
Rather than try to convert each die() from the checkout code
path into an error(), we simply set a flag that tells the
"remove_junk" atexit function to print a helpful message and
leave the repo in place.
Note that the test added in this patch actually passes
without the code change. The reason is that the cleanup code
is buggy; we chdir into the working tree for the checkout,
but still may use relative paths to remove the directories
(which means if you cloned into "foo", we would accidentally
remove "foo" from the working tree!). There's no point in
fixing it now, since this patch means we will never try to
remove anything after the chdir, anyway.

When 'git difftool --dir-diff' is using --no-symlinks (either explicitly
or implicitly because it's running on Windows), any working tree files
that have been copied to the temporary directory are copied back after
the difftool completes.
Because an earlier test uses "git add .", the "output" file used by
tests is tracked by Git and the following sequence occurs during some
tests:
1) the shell opens "output" to redirect the difftool output
2) difftool copies the empty "output" to the temporary directory
3) difftool runs "ls" which writes to "output"
4) difftool copies the empty "output" file back over the output of the
command
5) the output file doesn't contain the expected output, causing the
test to fail
Instead of adding all changes, explicitly add only the files that the
test is using, allowing later tests to write their result files into the
working tree.

After running the user's diff tool, git-difftool will copy any files
that differ between the working tree and the temporary tree. This is
useful when the user edits the file in their diff tool but is wrong if
they edit the working tree file while examining the diff.
Instead of copying unconditionally when the files differ, create and
index from the working tree files and only copy the temporary file back
if it was modified and the working tree file was not. If both files
have been modified, print a warning and exit with an error.
Note that we cannot use an existing index in git-difftool since those
contain the modified files that need to be checked out but here we are
looking at those files which are copied from the working tree and not
checked out. These are precisely the files which are not in the
existing indices.

t1300: document some aesthetic failures of the config editor
The config-editing code used by "git config var value" is
built around the regular config callback parser, whose only
triggerable item is an actual key. As a result, it does not
know anything about section headers, which can result in
unnecessarily ugly output:
1. When we delete the last key in a section, we should be
able to delete the section header.
2. When we add a key into a section, we should be able to
reuse the same section header, even if that section did
not have any keys in it already.
Unfortunately, fixing these is not trivial with the current
code. It would involve the config parser recording and
passing back information on each item it finds, including
headers, keys, and even comments (or even better, generating
an actual in-memory parse-tree).
Since these behaviors do not cause any functional problems
(i.e., the resulting config parses as expected, it is just
uglier than one would like), fixing them can wait until
somebody feels like substantially refactoring the parsing
code. In the meantime, let's document them as known issues
with some tests.

the resulting archive would contain only "foo" and ".gitattributes",
not subdir. This was broken with a recent change that intended to
allow "subdir/ export-ignore" to also exclude the directory, but
instead ended up _requiring_ the trailing slash by mistake.
A pattern "subdir" should match any path "subdir", whether it is a
directory or a non-directory. A pattern "subdir/" insists that a
path "subdir" must be a directory for it to match.
This patch adds test not just for this simple case, but also for
deeper cross-directory cases, as well as cases with wildcards.

dir.c::match_pathname(): pay attention to the length of string parameters
This function takes two counted strings: a <pattern, patternlen> pair
and a <pathname, pathlen> pair. But we end up feeding the result to
fnmatch, which expects NUL-terminated strings.
We can fix this by calling the fnmatch_icase_mem function, which
handles re-allocating into a NUL-terminated string if necessary.
While we're at it, we can avoid even calling fnmatch in some cases. In
addition to patternlen, we get "prefix", the size of the pattern that
contains no wildcard characters. We do a straight match of the prefix
part first, and then use fnmatch to cover the rest. But if there are
no wildcards in the pattern at all, we do not even need to call
fnmatch; we would simply be comparing two empty strings.

dir.c::match_pathname(): adjust patternlen when shifting pattern
If we receive a pattern that starts with "/", we shift it
forward to avoid looking at the "/" part. Since the prefix
and patternlen parameters are counts of what is in the
pattern, we must decrement them as we increment the pointer.
We remembered to handle prefix, but not patternlen. This
didn't cause any bugs, though, because the patternlen
parameter is not actually used. Since it will be used in
future patches, let's correct this oversight.

dir.c::match_basename(): pay attention to the length of string parameters
The function takes two counted strings (<basename, basenamelen> and
<pattern, patternlen>) as parameters, together with prefix (the
length of the prefix in pattern that is to be matched literally
without globbing against the basename) and EXC_* flags that tells it
how to match the pattern against the basename.
However, it did not pay attention to the length of these counted
strings. Update them to do the following:
* When the entire pattern is to be matched literally, the pattern
matches the basename only when the lengths of them are the same,
and they match up to that length.
* When the pattern is "*" followed by a string to be matched
literally, make sure that the basenamelen is equal or longer than
the "literal" part of the pattern, and the tail of the basename
string matches that literal part.
* Otherwise, use the new fnmatch_icase_mem helper to make
sure we only lookmake sure we use only look at the
counted part of the strings. Because these counted strings are
full strings most of the time, we check for termination
to avoid unnecessary allocation.

attr.c::path_matches(): special case paths that end with a slash
The function is given a string that ends with a slash to signal that
the path is a directory to make sure that a pattern that ends with a
slash (i.e. MUSTBEDIR) can tell directories and non-directories
apart. However, the pattern itself (pat->pattern and
pat->patternlen) that came from such a MUSTBEDIR pattern is
represented as a string that ends with a slash, but patternlen does
not count that trailing slash. A MUSTBEDIR pattern "element/" is
represented as a counted string <"element/", 7> and this must match
match pathname "element/".
Because match_basename() and match_pathname() want to see pathname
"element" to match against the pattern <"element/", 7>, reduce the
length of the path to exclude the trailing slash when calling
these functions.
