When a username is already specified at the beginning of any HTTP
transaction (e.g. "git push https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git"
or "git ls-remote https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git"), the code
interactively asks for a password before calling into the libcurl library.
It is very likely that the reason why user included the username in the
URL is because the user knows that it would require authentication to
access the resource. Asking for the password upfront would save one
roundtrip to get a 401 response, getting the password and then retrying
the request. This is a reasonable optimization.
HOWEVER.
This is done even when $HOME/.netrc might have a corresponding entry to
access the site, or the site does not require authentication to access the
resource after all. But neither condition can be determined until we call
into libcurl library (we do not read and parse $HOME/.netrc ourselves). In
these cases, the user is forced to respond to the password prompt, only to
give a password that is not used in the HTTP transaction. If the password
is in $HOME/.netrc, an empty input would later let the libcurl layer to
pick up the password from there, and if the resource does not require
authentication, any input would be taken and then discarded without
getting used. It is wasteful to ask this unused information to the end
user.
Reduce the confusion by not trying to optimize for this case and always
incur roundtrip penalty. An alternative might be to document this and keep
this round-trip optimization as-is.

Implement a new --ignore-refs option which specifies a regex of refs
to ignore while importing svn history.
This is a useful supplement to the --ignore-paths option, as that
option only operates on the contents of branches and tags, not the
branches and tags themselves.

Allow the user to check the patch set before it is commited to SVN. It is
then possible to accept/discard one patch, accept all, or quit.
This interactive mode is similar with 'git send email' behaviour. However,
'git svn dcommit' returns as soon as one patch is discarded.
Part of the code was taken from git-send-email.perl (see 'ask' function)
Tests several combinations of potential answers to
'git svn dcommit --interactive'. For each of them, test whether patches
were commited to SVN or not.

The http_init function takes a "struct remote". Part of its
initialization procedure is to look at the remote's url and
grab some auth-related parameters. However, using the url
included in the remote is:
- wrong; the remote-curl helper may have a separate,
unrelated URL (e.g., from remote.*.pushurl). Looking at
the remote's configured url is incorrect.
- incomplete; http-fetch doesn't have a remote, so passes
NULL. So http_init never gets to see the URL we are
actually going to use.
- cumbersome; http-push has a similar problem to
http-fetch, but actually builds a fake remote just to
pass in the URL.
Instead, let's just add a separate URL parameter to
http_init, and all three callsites can pass in the
appropriate information.

cec5dae (use new Git::config_path() for aliasesfile, 2011-09-30) broke
the expansion of aliases.
This was caused by treating %config_path_settings, newly introduced in
said patch, like %config_bool_settings instead of like %config_settings.
Copy from %config_settings, making it more readable.
While at it add basic test for expansion of aliases, and for path
expansion, which would catch this error.
Nb. there were a few issues that were responsible for this error:
1. %config_bool_settings and %config_settings despite similar name have
different semantic.
%config_bool_settings values are arrays where the first element is
(reference to) the variable to set, and second element is default
value... which admittedly is a bit cryptic. More readable if more
verbose option would be to use hash reference, e.g.:
%config_settings values are either either reference to scalar variable
or reference to array. In second case it means that option (or config
option) is multi-valued. BTW. this is similar to what Getopt::Long does.
2. In cec5dae (use new Git::config_path() for aliasesfile, 2011-09-30)
the setting "aliasesfile" was moved from %config_settings to newly
introduced %config_path_settings. But the loop that parses settings
from %config_path_settings was copy'n'pasted *wrongly* from
%config_bool_settings instead of from %config_settings.
It looks like cec5dae author cargo-culted this change...

t1402-check-ref-format: skip tests of refs beginning with slash on Windows
Bash on Windows converts program arguments that look like absolute POSIX
paths to their Windows form, i.e., drive-letter-colon format. For this
reason, those tests in t1402 that check refs that begin with a slash do not
work as expected on Windows: valid_ref tests are doomed to fail, and
invalid_ref tests fail for the wrong reason (that there is a colon rather
than that they begin with a slash).
Skip these tests.

You can't currently run git-pull or git-rebase from outside
of the work tree, even with GIT_WORK_TREE set, due to an
overeager require_work_tree function. Commit e2eb527
documents this problem and provides the infrastructure for a
fix, but left it to later commits to audit and update
individual scripts.
Changing these scripts to use require_work_tree_exists is
easy to verify. We immediately call cd_to_toplevel, anyway.
Therefore no matter which function we use, the state
afterwards is one of:
1. We have a work tree, and we are at the top level.
2. We don't have a work tree, and we have died.
The only catch is that we must also make sure no code that
ran before the cd_to_toplevel assumed that we were already
in the working tree.
In this case, we will only have included shell libraries and
called set_reflog_action, neither of which care about the
current working directory at all.

We should be able to ask for a config value both by its
canonical all-lowercase name (as git does internally), as
well as by random mixed-case (which will be canonicalized by
git-config for us).
Subsections are a tricky point, though. Since we have both
[section "Foo"]
and
[section.Foo]
you might want git-config to canonicalize the subsection or
not, depending on which you are expecting. But there's no
way to communicate this; git-config sees only the key, and
doesn't know which type of section name will be in the
config file.
So it must leave the subsection intact, and it is up to the
caller to provide a canonical version of the subsection if
they want to match the latter form.

attr.c: respect core.ignorecase when matching attribute patterns
When core.ignorecase is true, the file globs configured in the
.gitattributes file should be matched case-insensitively against the paths
in the working directory. Let's do so.
Plus, add some tests.
The last set of tests is performed only on a case-insensitive filesystem.
Those tests make sure that git handles the case where the .gitignore file
resides in a subdirectory and the user supplies a path that does not match
the case in the filesystem. In that case^H^H^H^Hsituation, part of the
path supplied by the user is effectively interpreted case-insensitively,
and part of it is dependent on the setting of core.ignorecase. git will
currently only match the portion of the path below the directory holding
the .gitignore file according to the setting of core.ignorecase.
This is also partly future-proofing. Currently, git builds the attr stack
based on the path supplied by the user, so we don't have to do anything
special (like use strcmp_icase) to handle the parts of that path that don't
match the filesystem with respect to case. If git instead built the attr
stack by scanning the repository, then the paths in the origin field would
not necessarily match the paths supplied by the user. If someone makes a
change like that in the future, these tests will notice.

refs.c: ensure struct whose member may be passed to realloc is initialized
The variable "refs" is allocated on the stack but is not initialized. It
is passed to read_packed_refs(), and its struct members may eventually be
passed to add_ref() and ALLOC_GROW(). Since the structure has not been
initialized, its members may contain random non-zero values. So let's
initialize it.
