clean: show an error message when the path is too long
When `lstat()` failed, `git clean` would abort without an error
message, leaving the user quite puzzled.
In particular on Windows, where the default maximum path length is
quite small (yet there are ways to circumvent that limit in many
cases), it is very important that users be given an indication why
their command failed because of too long paths when it did.
This test case makes sure that a warning is issued that would have
helped the user who reported this issue:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/521
Note that we temporarily set `core.longpaths = false` in the regression
test; this ensures forward-compatibility with the `core.longpaths`
feature that has not yet been upstreamed from Git for Windows.

rm: resolving by removal is not a warning-worthy event
When resolving a conflict on a path in favor of removing it, using
"git rm" on it is the standard way to do so. The user however is
greeted with a "needs merge" message during that operation:
The removal by "git rm" does get performed, but an uninitiated user
may find it confusing, "needs merge? so I need to resolve conflict
before being able to remove it???"
The message is coming from "update-index --refresh" that is called
internally to make sure "git rm" knows which paths are clean and
which paths are dirty, in order to prevent removal of paths modified
relative to the index without the "-f" option. We somehow ended up
not squelching this message which seeped through to the UI surface.
Use the same mechanism used by "git commit", "git describe", etc. to
squelch the message.
stash: fix handling removed files with --keep-index
git stash push --keep-index is supposed to keep all changes that have
been added to the index, both in the index and on disk.
Currently this doesn't behave correctly when a file is removed from
the index. Instead of keeping it deleted on disk, --keep-index
currently restores the file.
Fix that behaviour by using 'git checkout' in no-overlay mode which
can faithfully restore the index and working tree. This also
simplifies the code.
Note that this will overwrite untracked files if the untracked file
has the same name as a file that has been deleted in the index.

mingw: support spawning programs containing spaces in their names
On some older Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7), the CreateProcessW()
function does not really support spaces in its first argument,
lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as lpApplicationName,
which makes it figure out the application from the (possibly quoted)
first argument of lpCommandLine.
Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches
the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains
spaces.

does not regress.

transport-helper: enforce atomic in push_refs_with_push
Teach transport-helper how to notice if skipping a ref during push would
violate atomicity on the client side. We notice that a ref would be
rejected, and choose not to send it, but don't notice that if the client
has asked for --atomic we are violating atomicity if all the other
pushes we are sending would succeed. Asking the server end to uphold
atomicity wouldn't work here as the server doesn't have any idea that we
tried to update a ref that's broken.
The added test-case is a succinct way to reproduce this issue that fails
today. The same steps work fine when we aren't using a transport-helper
to get to the upstream, i.e. when we've added a local repository as a

range-diff: add section header instead of diff header
Currently range-diff keeps the diff header of the inner diff
intact (apart from stripping lines starting with index). This diff
header is somewhat useful, especially when files get different
names in different ranges.
However there is no real need to keep the whole diff header for that.
The main reason we currently do that is probably because it is easy to
do.
Introduce a new range diff hunk header, that's enclosed by "##",
similar to how line numbers in diff hunks are enclosed by "@@", and
give human readable information of what exactly happened to the file,
including the file name.
This improves the readability of the range-diff by giving more concise
information to the users. For example if a file was renamed in one
iteration, but not in another, the diff of the headers would be quite
noisy. However the diff of a single line is concise and should be
easier to understand.
Additionally, this allows us to add these range diff section headers to
the outer diffs hunk headers using a custom userdiff pattern, which
should help making the range-diff more readable.

The line count in the outer diff's hunk headers of a range diff is not
all that interesting. It merely shows how far along the inner diff
are on both sides. That number is of no use for human readers, and
range-diffs are not meant to be machine readable.
In a subsequent commit we're going to add some more contextual
information such as the filename corresponding to the diff to the hunk
headers. Remove the unnecessary information, and just keep the "@@"
to indicate that a new hunk of the outer diff is starting.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When postprocessing the inner diff in range-diff, we currently replace
the whole hunk header line with just "@@". This matches how 'git
tbdiff' used to handle hunk headers as well.
Most likely this is being done because line numbers in the hunk header
are not relevant without other changes. They can for example easily
change if a range is rebased, and lines are added/removed before a
change that we actually care about in our ranges.
However it can still be useful to have the function name that 'git
diff' extracts as additional context for the change.
Note that it is not guaranteed that the hunk header actually shows up
in the range-diff, and this change only aims to improve the case where
a hunk header would already be included in the final output.

Currently range-diff uses the 'strbuf_getline()' function for doing
its line by line processing. In a future patch we want to do parts of
that parsing using the 'parse_git_diff_header()' function. That
function does its own line by line reading of the input, and doesn't
use strbufs. This doesn't match with how we do the line-by-line
processing in range-diff currently.

apply: only pass required data to gitdiff_* functions
Currently the 'gitdiff_*()' functions take 'struct apply_state' as
parameter, even though they only needs the root, linenr and p_value
from that struct.
These functions are in the callchain of 'parse_git_header()', which we
want to make more generally useful in a subsequent commit. To make
that happen we only want to pass in the required data to
'parse_git_header()', and not the whole 'struct apply_state', and thus
we want functions in the callchain of 'parse_git_header()' to only
take arguments they really need.
As these functions are called in a loop using their function pointers,
each function needs to be passed all the parameters even if only one
of the functions actually needs it. We therefore pass this data along
in a struct to avoid adding too many unused parameters to each
function and making the code very verbose in the process.
