http-push: Normalise directory names when pushing to some WebDAV servers
Fix a bug when pushing to WebDAV servers which do not use a trailing
slash for collection names. The previous implementation fails to see
that the requested resource "refs/" is the same resource as "refs"
and loads every reference twice (once for refs/ and once for refs).
This implementation normalises every collection name by appending a
trailing slash if necessary.
This can be tested with old versions of Apache (such as the WebDAV
server of GMX, Apache 2.0.63).

The reflog-walking mechanism is based on the regular
revision traversal. We just rewrite the parents of each
commit in fake_reflog_parent to point to the commit in the
next reflog entry instead of the real parents.
However, the regular revision traversal tries not to show
the same commit twice, and so sets the SHOWN flag on each
commit it shows. In a reflog, however, we may want to see
the same commit more than once if it appears in the reflog
multiple times (which easily happens, for example, if you do
a reset to a prior state).
The fake_reflog_parent function takes care of this by
clearing flags, including SHOWN. Unfortunately, it does so
at the very end of the function, and it is possible to
return early from the function if there is no fake parent to
set up (e.g., because we are at the very first reflog entry
on the branch). In such a case the flag is not cleared, and
the entry is skipped by the revision traversal machinery as
already shown.
You can see this by walking the log of a ref which is set to
its very first commit more than once (the test below shows
such a situation). In this case the reflog walk will fail to
show the entry for the initial creation of the ref.
We don't want to simply move the flag-clearing to the top of
the function; we want to make sure flags set during the
fake-parent installation are also cleared. Instead, let's
hoist the flag-clearing out of the fake_reflog_parent
function entirely. It's not really about fake parents
anyway, and the only caller is the get_revision machinery.

We explicitly document "0" and "1" as synonyms for "false"
and "true" in boolean config options. However, we don't
actually handle those values in git_config_maybe_bool.
In most cases this works fine, as we call git_config_bool,
which in turn calls git_config_bool_or_int, which in turn
calls git_config_maybe_bool. Values of 0/1 are considered
"not bool", but their integer values end up being converted
to the corresponding boolean values.
However, the log.decorate code looks for maybe_bool
explicitly, so that it can fall back to the "short" and
"full" strings. It does not handle 0/1 at all, and considers
them invalid values.
We cannot simply add 0/1 support to git_config_maybe_bool.
That would confuse git_config_bool_or_int, which may want to
distinguish the integer values "0" and "1" from bools.

setup: make sure git_dir path is in a permanent buffer, getenv(3) case
getenv(3) returns not-permanent buffer which may be changed by e.g.

In practice I've noticed this when trying to do `git commit -m abc`

$ git commit -m abc

(notice introduced 'DIR=' artifact.)
The problem was showing itself only with -m option, and actually, as
debugging showed, originally
git_dir = getenv("GIT_DIR")
returned pointer to
"GIT_DIR=.git\0"
^
git_dir
, we stored it in git_dir, than, after processing -m git-commit option,
we did setenv("GIT_EDITOR", ":") which as (*) says changed environment
variables memory layout - something like this
"...\0GIT_DIR=.git\0"
^
git_dir
and oops - we got wrong git_dir.
Avoid that by strdupping getenv("GIT_DIR") result like we did in 06f354
(setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer). Unfortunately
this also shows that other getenv usage inside git needs auditing...
(*) from man 3 getenv:
The implementation of getenv() is not required to be reentrant. The
string pointed to by the return value of getenv() may be statically
allocated, and can be modified by a subsequent call to getenv(),
putenv(3), setenv(3), or unsetenv(3).

apply: don't segfault on binary files with missing data
Usually when applying a binary diff generated without
--binary, it will be rejected early, as we don't even have
the full sha1 of the pre- and post-images.
However, if the diff is generated with --full-index (but not
--binary), then we will actually try to apply it. If we have
the postimage blob, then we can take a shortcut and never
even look at the binary diff at all (e.g., this can happen
when rebasing changes within a repository).
If we don't have the postimage blob, though, we try to look
at the actual fragments, of which there are none, and get a
segfault. This patch checks explicitly for that case and
complains to the user instead of segfaulting. We need to
keep the check at a low level so that the "shortcut" case
above continues to work.
We also add a test that demonstrates the segfault. While
we're at it, let's also explicitly test the shortcut case.

send-pack: avoid redundant "pack-objects died with strange error"
Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant. The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).
Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.
So leave off the "strange error" messages.
The result should look something like this:
$ git push sf master
Counting objects: 21542, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
error: pack-objects died of signal 13
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'

Documentation: update implicit "--no-index" behavior in "git diff"
Originally "--no-index" mode triggered for untracked files within the
tracked tree, but with v1.5.6-rc1~41 (Merge branch 'jc/diff-no-no-index,
2008-05-26) the command was fixed to only implicitly trigger when paths
outside the tracked tree are mentioned.

Point in many directions in the hope of helping the reader find what
is needed more quickly.
This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry
for difftool, to avoid making the SEE ALSO list too verbose. If the
reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always
look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the
main git(1) page.

The code paths for showing commits in "git log" and "git
rev-list --graph" correctly handle embedded NULs by looking
only at the resulting strbuf's length, and never treating it
as a C string. The code path for regular rev-list, however,
used printf("%s"), which resulted in truncated output. This
patch uses fwrite instead, like the --graph code path.

submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty directories
If a submodule directory has not been filled by "git submodule update"
yet, then "git submodule sync" must still update the super-project's
configuration for submodule.<name>.url.
This situation occurs when switching between branches with a module from
different urls and other branches without the submodule.

apply: Recognize epoch timestamps with : in the timezone
Some patches have a timezone formatted like ‘-08:00’ instead of
‘-0800’ (e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/131729/), so git apply would
fail to recognize the epoch timestamp of deleted files and would
create empty files instead. Teach it to support both formats, and add
a test case.

Group entries related to parameter substitutions together and avoid
using the word "regexp" to refer to the ${parameter/pattern/string}
substitution (banned), as the pattern there is a shell glob and not
a regular expression.
Documentation: No argument of ALLOC_GROW should have side-effects
The explanatory comment before the definition of ALLOC_GROW carefully
lists arguments that will be used more than once and thus cannot have
side-effects; a lazy reader might conclude that the arguments not
listed are used only once and side effects safe.
Correct it to list all three arguments, avoiding this confusion.
