When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:
ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"
and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").
We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:
git-upload-pack -- -foo.git
But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.
The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.
Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:
- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"
- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

Completion for "git checkout <branch>" that auto-creates the branch
out of a remote tracking branch can now be disabled, as this
completion often gets in the way when completing to checkout an
existing local branch that happens to share the same prefix with
bunch of remote tracking branches.

The building of the reflog message is using strbuf, which is not
friendly with internationalization frameworks. No other reflog
messages are translated right now and switching all the messages to
i18n would require a major rework of the way the messages are built.

githooks.txt: clarify push hooks are always executed in $GIT_DIR

push. Something which is not immediately obvious when only trying
to find out where the hook is executed.

rebase -i: reread the todo list if `exec` touched it
In the scripted version of the interactive rebase, there was no internal
representation of the todo list; it was re-read before every command.
That allowed the hack that an `exec` command could append (or even
completely rewrite) the todo list.
This hack was broken by the partial conversion of the interactive rebase
to C, and this patch reinstates it.
We also add a small test to verify that this fix does not regress in the
future.

t1450: avoid use of "sed" on the index, which is a binary file
The previous step added a path zzzzzzzz to the index, and then used
"sed" to replace this string to yyyyyyyy to create a test case where
the checksum at the end of the file does not match the contents.
Unfortunately, use of "sed" on a non-text file is not portable.
Instead, use a Perl script that seeks to the end and modifies the
last byte of the file (where we _know_ stores the trailing
checksum).

The internals of the refs API around the cached refs has been

do_for_each_entry_in_dir(): delete function
files_pack_refs(): use reference iteration
commit_packed_refs(): use reference iteration
cache_ref_iterator_begin(): make function smarter
get_loose_ref_cache(): new function
get_loose_ref_dir(): function renamed from get_loose_refs()
do_for_each_entry_in_dir(): eliminate `offset` argument
refs: handle "refs/bisect/" in `loose_fill_ref_dir()`
ref-cache: use a callback function to fill the cache
refs: record the ref_store in ref_cache, not ref_dir

refs_ref_iterator_begin(): new function
refs_read_raw_ref(): new function
get_ref_dir(): don't call read_loose_refs() for "refs/bisect"
Allow to lock a worktree immediately after it's created. This helps
prevent a race between "git worktree add; git worktree lock" and
"git worktree prune".
While handy, "git_path()" is a dangerous function to use as a
callsite that uses it safely one day can be broken by changes
to other code that calls it. Reduction of its use continues.

replace xstrdup(git_path(...)) with git_pathdup(...)
use git_path_* helper functions
branch: add edit_description() helper
bisect: add git_path_bisect_terms helper
"git checkout" that handles a lot of paths has been optimized by

config: prepare to pass more info in git_config_with_options()
Having a git command on the upstream side of a pipe in a test
script will hide the exit status from the command, which may cause
us to fail to notice a breakage; rewrite tests in a script to avoid

rebase: pass --[no-]signoff option to git am
builtin/am: fold am_signoff() into am_append_signoff()
builtin/am: honor --signoff also when --rebasing
prio_queue_reverse: don't swap elements with themselves
Our array-reverse algorithm does the usual "walk from both
ends, swapping elements". We can quit when the two indices
are equal, since:
1. Swapping an element with itself is a noop.
2. If i and j are equal, then in the next iteration i is
guaranteed to be bigge than j, and we will exit the
loop.
So exiting the loop on equality is slightly more efficient.
And more importantly, the new SWAP() macro does not expect
to handle noop swaps; it will call memcpy() with the same src
and dst pointers in this case. It's unclear whether that
causes a problem on any platforms by violating the
"overlapping memory" constraint of memcpy, but it does cause
valgrind to complain.
