The existing code checked to make sure we were not in a bare
repository when doing a hard reset. However, we should take
this one step further, and make sure we are in a worktree.
Otherwise, we can end up munging files inside of '.git'.
Furthermore, we should do the same check for --merge resets,
which have the same properties. Actually, a merge reset of
HEAD^ would already complain, since further down in the code
we want a worktree. However, it is nicer to check up-front;
then we are sure we cover all cases ("git reset --merge"
would run, even though it wasn't doing anything) and we can
give a more specific message.
Add tests to t7103 to cover these cases and some missing ones.

Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparam
Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.
When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.
Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.
If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:
Some ancient platforms do not have an extensive list of alternate names for
character encodings. For example, Solaris 7 and IRIX 6.5 do not know that
ISO-8859-1 is the same as ISO8859-1. Modern platforms do know this, so use
the older name.

Ever since the initial implementation, "git am" had kept a dead code that
never triggered due to a typo in the variable name. Worse yet, the code,
if it weren't for the typo, would have attempted to add "[PATCH] " at the
beginning of the Subject: header when "git am" is run with its "-k"
option. However, because "git am -k" tells mailinfo to keep such prefix
when parsing the input, the "[PATCH] " added by this dead code would have
really been unnecessary duplicate.
Embarrassing is that we kept _maintaining_ the codepath without anybody
noticing for four years.

builtin-apply.c: pay attention to -p<n> when determining the name
The patch structure has def_name component that is used to validate the
sanity of a "diff --git" patch by checking pathnames that appear on the
patch header lines for consistency. The git_header_name() function is
used to compute this out of "diff --git a/... b/..." line, but the code
always stripped one level of prefix (i.e. "a/" and "b/"), without paying
attention to -p<n> option. Code in find_name() function that parses other
lines in the patch header (e.g. "--- a/..." and "+++ b/..." lines) however
did strip the correct number of leading paths prefixes, and the sanity
check between these computed values failed.
Teach git_header_name() to honor -p<n> option like find_name() function
does.

pack-objects: split implications of --all-progress from progress activation
Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display
during the writing object phase even if output goes to stdout which is
primarily the case during a push operation. This has the unfortunate
side effect of forcing progress display even if stderr is not a
terminal.
Let's introduce the --all-progress-implied argument which has the same
intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress
display. With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited
whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be
included otherwise. This should let people use 'git push' within a cron
job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

Running 'git instaweb' when an instaweb server is already running will
fail (at least when the port is the same) and overwrite the pid file
used to track the currently running server. This turns out to be
especially annoying when the user tries to stop the previously running
server with 'git instaweb --stop' and is instead greeted with an error
message because the pid file has been destroyed.
Instead of allowing a user to start two instaweb servers, stop the
currently running server first and then start the new one. This should
be fine because it was never really possible to start two instaweb
servers in the first place due to the pid file issue outlined above.

Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity
If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.
The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.
On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.
Use a case statement instead of calling grep to find out if the editor's
name contains the string "vim". Remove the check for emacs, as this
branch did the same as the default one anyway.

diffcore-rename: reduce memory footprint by freeing blob data early
After running one round of estimate_similarity(), filespecs on either
side will have populated their cnt_data fields, and we do not need
the blob text anymore. We used to retain the blob data to optimize
for smaller projects (not freeing the blob data here would mean that
the final output phase would not have to re-read it), but we are
efficient enough without such optimization for smaller projects anyway,
and freeing memory early will help larger projects.
The t/t9700/test.pl script uses method invocation syntax when
using the Cwd module to determine the current working directory.
This fails on cygwin, since cygwin perl specifically checks for
any arguments to the cwd() function and croak()'s with the message
"Usage: Cwd::cwd()". (In perl v5.8.8 distribution, see the file
perl-5.8.8/cygwin/cygwin.c lines 139-157)
In order to avoid the problem, we replace the method invocation
syntax with a simple function call.

Make sure $PERL_PATH is defined when the test suite is run.
Some test scripts run Perl scripts as if they were git-* scripts, and
thus need to use the same perl that will be put in the shebang line of
git*.perl commands. $PERL_PATH therefore needs to be used instead of
a bare "perl".
The tests can fail if another perl is found in $PATH before the one
defined in $PERL_PATH.
Example test failure caused by this: the perl defined in $PERL_PATH has
Error.pm installed, and therefore the Git.pm's Makefile.PL doesn't install
the private copy. The perl from $PATH doesn't have Error.pm installed, and
all git*.perl scripts invoked during the test will fail loading Error.pm.

The "break" phase works by counting changes between two
blobs with the same path. We do this by splitting the file
into chunks (or lines for text oriented files) and then
keeping a count of chunk hashes.
The "rename" phase counts changes between blobs at two
different paths. However, it uses the exact same set of
chunk hashes (which are immutable for a given sha1).
The rename phase can therefore use the same hash data as
break. Unfortunately, we were throwing this data away after
computing it in the break phase. This patch instead attaches
it to the filespec and lets it live through the rename
phase, working under the assumption that most of the time
that breaks are being computed, renames will be too.
We only do this optimization for files which have actually
been broken, as those ones will be candidates for rename
detection (and it is a time-space tradeoff, so we don't want
to waste space keeping useless data).

As we look at each changed file and consider breaking it, we
load the blob data and make a decision about whether to
break, which is independent of any other blobs that might
have changed. However, we keep the data in memory while we
consider breaking all of the other files. Which means that
both versions of every file you are diffing are in memory at
the same time.
This patch instead frees the blob data as we finish with
each file pair, leading to much lower memory usage.

In theory it is possible for sideband channel #2 to be delayed if
pack data is quick to come up for sideband channel #1. And because
data for channel #2 is read only 128 bytes at a time while pack data
is read 8192 bytes at a time, it is possible for many pack blocks to
be sent to the client before the progress message fifo is emptied,
making the situation even worse. This would result in totally garbled
progress display on the client's console as local progress gets mixed
with partial remote progress lines.
Let's prevent such situations by giving transmission priority to

Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat
plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the
command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would
suppress the stat and show just the patch.
Commit 68daa64 changed this to keep the stat format when we
had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side
effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now
ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason
that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse).
This patch unbreaks what 68daa64 did (while still preserving
what 68daa64 was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress
the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves
in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly.
