glossary: fix overoptimistic automatic linking of defined terms
Asciidoc appears to interpret a backslash at the end of a line as
escaping the end-of-line character, which screws up the display of
history diagrams like
o--o--o
\
o--...
The obvious fix (replacing "\" by "\\") doesn't work. The only
workaround I've found is to include all such diagrams in a LiteralBlock.
Asciidoc claims that should be equivalent to a literal paragraph, so I
don't understand why the difference--perhaps it's an asciidoc bug.

glossary: fix overoptimistic automatic linking of defined terms
The script sort_glossary.pl turns each use of "term" into a link to the
definition of "term". To avoid mangling links like
gitlink:git-term[1]
it doesn't replace any occurence of "term" preceded by "link:git-".
This fails for gitlink:git-symbolic-ref[1] when substituting for "ref".
So instead just refuse to replace anything preceded by a "-".
That could result in missing some opportunities, but that's a less
annoying error.
Actually I find the automatic substitution a little distracting; some
day maybe we should just run it once and commit the result, so it can
be hand-tuned.

This failure to catch the failure of write_ref_sha1 was noticed
by Bill Lear. The ref will not update if the log file could not
be appended to (due to file permissions problems). Such a failure
should be flagged as a failure to update the ref, so that the client
knows the push did not succeed.

The test was recently broken to expect sed to leave the
incomplete line at the end without newline.
POSIX says that output of the pattern space is to be followed by
a newline, while GNU adds the newline back only when it was
stripped when input. GNU behaviour is arguably more intuitive
and nicer, but we should not depend on it.

fast-import: Fail if a non-existant commit is used for merge
Johannes Sixt noticed during one of his own imports that fast-import
did not fail if a non-existant commit is referenced by SHA-1 value
as an argument to the 'merge' command. This allowed the user to
unknowingly create commits that would fail in fsck, as the commit
contents would not be completely reachable.
A side effect of this bug was that a frontend process could mark
any SHA-1 object (blob, tree, tag) as a parent of a merge commit.
This should also fail in fsck, as the commit is not a valid commit.
We now use the same rule as the 'from' command. If a commit is
referenced in the 'merge' command by hex formatted SHA-1 then the
SHA-1 must be a commit or a tag that can be peeled back to a commit,
the commit must already exist, and must be readable by the core Git
infrastructure code. This requirement means that the commit must
have existed prior to fast-import starting, or the commit must have
been flushed out by a prior 'checkpoint' command.

Johannes Sixt noticed that a 'reset' command applied to a branch that
is already active in the branch LRU cache can cause fast-import to
relink the same branch into the LRU cache twice. This will cause
the LRU cache to contain a cycle, making unload_one_branch run in an
infinite loop as it tries to select the oldest branch for eviction.
I have trivially fixed the problem by adding an active bit to
each branch object; this bit indicates if the branch is already
in the LRU and allows us to avoid trying to add it a second time.
Converting the pack_id field into a bitfield makes this change take
up no additional memory.

that's an illogical thing to do, since "git show" is defined to be a

logical.
We should complain, and say that you can only do "no_walk" with positive

git-apply: do not fix whitespaces on context lines.
Internal function apply_line() is called to copy both context lines
and added lines to the output buffer, while possibly fixing the
whitespace breakages depending on --whitespace=strip settings.
However, it did its fix-up on both context lines and added lines.
This resulted in two symptoms:
(1) The number of lines reported to have been fixed up included
these context lines.
(2) However, the lines actually shown were limited to the added
lines that had whitespace breakages.
diff --cc: integer overflow given a 2GB-or-larger file
Few of us use git to compare or even version-control 2GB files,
but when we do, we'll want it to work.
Reading a recent patch, I noticed two lines like this:
int len = st.st_size;
Instead of "int", that should be "size_t". Otherwise, in the
non-symlink case, with 64-bit size_t, if the file's size is 2GB,
the following xmalloc will fail:
result = xmalloc(len + 1);
trying to allocate 2^64 - 2^31 + 1 bytes (assuming sign-extension
in the int-to-size_t promotion). And even if it didn't fail, the
subsequent "result[len] = 0;" would be equivalent to an unpleasant
"result[-2147483648] = 0;"
The other nearby "int"-declared size variable, sz, should also be of
type size_t, for the same reason. If sz ever wraps around and becomes
negative, xread will corrupt memory _before_ the "result" buffer.

first line).

git-gui: Don't create empty (same tree as parent) commits.
Mark Levedahl noticed that git-gui will let you create an empty
normal (non-merge) commit if the file state in the index is out
of whack. The case Mark was looking at was with the new autoCRLF
feature in git enabled and is actually somewhat difficult to create.
I found a different way to create an empty commit: turn on the
Trust File Modifications flag, touch a file, rescan, then move
the file into the "Changes To Be Committed" list without looking
at the file's diff. This makes git-gui think there are files
staged for commit, yet the update-index call did nothing other
than refresh the stat information for the affected file. In
this case git-gui allowed the user to make a commit that did
not actually change anything in the repository.
Creating empty commits is usually a pointless operation; rarely
does it record useful information. More often than not an empty
commit is actually an indication that the user did not properly
update their index prior to commit. We should help the user out
by detecting this possible mistake and guiding them through it,
rather than blindly recording it.
After we get the new tree name back from write-tree we compare
it to the parent commit's tree; if they are the same string and
this is a normal (non-merge, non-amend) commit then something
fishy is going on. The user is making an empty commit, but they
most likely don't want to do that. We now pop an informational
dialog and start a rescan, aborting the commit.

cehteh on #git noticed that there was no way to perform a reset --hard
from within git-gui. When I pointed out this was Merge->Abort Merge

never guess to try that option unless they were actually in a merge.
So Branch->Reset is now also a way to cause a reset --hard from within
the UI. Right now the confirmation dialog is the same as the one used
in Merge->Abort Merge.

diff --cc: fix display of symlink conflicts during a merge.

merge-recursive: fix longstanding bug in merging symlinks

merge-index: fix longstanding bug in merging symlinks
Ancient commit e2b6a9d0 added code to pass "file modes" from
merge-index to merge-one-file, and then later commit 54dd99a1
wanted to make sure we do not end up creating a nonsense symlink
that points at a path whose name contains conflict markers.
However, nobody noticed that the code in merge-index added by e2b6a9d0 were stripping the S_IFMT bits and the code in 54dd99a1
was meaningless. This fixes it.
Allow arbitrary number of arguments to git-pack-objects
If a repository ever gets in a situation where there are too many
packs (more than 60 or so), perhaps because of frequent use of
git-fetch -k or incremental git-repack, then it becomes impossible to
fully repack the repository with git-repack -a. That command just
dies with the cryptic message
fatal: too many internal rev-list options
This message comes from git-pack-objects, which is passed one command
line option like --unpacked=pack-<SHA1>.pack for each pack file to be
repacked. However, the current code has a static limit of 64 command
line arguments and just aborts if more arguments are passed to it.
Fix this by dynamically allocating the array of command line
arguments, and doubling the size each time it overflows.
