The current behavior is often to print an absolute path rather than
a ../../etc string, but callers must be ready to accept a relative
path, too. The most common output is ".git" (from the toplevel of
an ordinary work tree).

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.

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".
For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)
Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.
This patch changes that, by allowing
M 040000 <tree id> ""
as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it. For example,
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.
Therefore for the case when we don't have either action, or filename,
or parent hash [base] in path_info-based URL, i.e. for
http://server/gitweb/project/<object-id>
link, instead of using 'shortlog' view we allow dispatch() subroutine
to detect type of object and use appropriate action (in most case it
would be either 'commit' action, or 'tag', or 'tree' for top
directory).

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.

Signed integer overflow is not defined in C, so do not depend on it.

There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD). The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:
(((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)
But on NetBSD:
((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)
Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

xdiff: cast arguments for ctype functions to unsigned char
The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF. On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.
Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.
