When we create an http active_request_slot, we can set its
"results" pointer back to local storage. The http code will
fill in the details of how the request went, and we can
access those details even after the slot has been cleaned
up.
Commit 8809703 (http: factor out http error code handling)
switched us from accessing our local results struct directly
to accessing it via the "results" pointer of the slot. That
means we're accessing the slot after it has been marked as
finished, defeating the whole purpose of keeping the results
storage separate.
Most of the time this doesn't matter, as finishing the slot
does not actually clean up the pointer. However, when using
curl's multi interface with the dumb-http revision walker,
we might actually start a new request before handing control
back to the original caller. In that case, we may reuse the
slot, zeroing its results pointer, and leading the original
caller to segfault while looking for its results inside the
slot.
Instead, we need to pass a pointer to our local results
storage to the handle_curl_result function, rather than
relying on the pointer in the slot struct. This matches what
the original code did before the refactoring (which did not
use a separate function, and therefore just accessed the
results struct directly).

t1450: the order the objects are checked is undefined
When a tag T points at an object X that is of a type that is
different from what the tag records as, fsck should report it as an
error.
However, depending on the order X and T are checked individually,
the actual error message can be different. If X is checked first,
fsck remembers X's type and then when it checks T, it notices that T
records X as a wrong type (i.e. the complaint is about a broken tag
T). If T is checked first, on the other hand, fsck remembers that we
need to verify X is of the type tag records, and when it later
checks X, it notices that X is of a wrong type (i.e. the complaint
is about a broken object X).
The important thing is that fsck notices such an error and diagnoses
the issue on object X, but the test was expecting that we happen to
check objects in the order to make us detect issues with tag T, not
with object X. Remove this unwarranted assumption.

mailinfo: don't require "text" mime type for attachments
Currently "git am" does insane things if the mbox it is given contains
attachments with a MIME type that aren't "text/*".
In particular, it will still decode them, and pass them "one line at a
time" to the mail body filter, but because it has determined that they
aren't text (without actually looking at the contents, just at the mime
type) the "line" will be the encoding line (eg 'base64') rather than a
line of *content*.
Which then will cause the text filtering to fail, because we won't
correctly notice when the attachment text switches from the commit message
to the actual patch. Resulting in a patch failure, even if patch may be a
perfectly well-formed attachment, it's just that the message type may be
(for example) "application/octet-stream" instead of "text/plain".
Just remove all the bogus games with the message_type. The only difference
that code creates is how the data is passed to the filter function
(chunked per-pred-code line or per post-decode line), and that difference
is *wrong*, since chunking things per pre-decode line can never be a
sensible operation, and cannot possibly matter for binary data anyway.
This code goes all the way back to March of 2007, in commit 87ab79923463
("builtin-mailinfo.c infrastrcture changes"), and apparently Don used to
pass random mbox contents to git. However, the pre-decode vs post-decode
logic really shouldn't matter even for that case, and more importantly, "I
fed git am crap" is not a valid reason to break *real* patch attachments.
If somebody really cares, and determines that some attachment is binary
data (by looking at the data, not the MIME-type), the whole attachment
should be dismissed, rather than fed in random-sized chunks to
"handle_filter()".

submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a
unspecified action word for 'status' action. This is a UI mistake
that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.
$ git submodule show
error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.
Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than

git blame: document that it always follows origin across whole-file renames

We may or may not want to do a "--no-follow" patch as a follow-up,

$ git push dest HEAD
fatal: [some message from index-pack]
error: unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit
To dest
! [remote rejected] HEAD -> master (n/a (unpacker error))

receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sideband
Receive-pack invokes either unpack-objects or index-pack to
handle the incoming pack. However, we do not redirect the
stderr of the sub-processes at all, so it is never seen by
the client. From the initial thread adding sideband support,
which is here:
it is clear that some messages are specifically kept off the
sideband (with the assumption that they are of interest only
to an administrator, not the client). The stderr of the
subprocesses is mentioned in the thread, but it's unclear if
they are included in that group, or were simply forgotten.
However, there are a few good reasons to show them to the
client:
1. In many cases, they are directly about the incoming
packfile (e.g., fsck warnings with --strict, corruption
in the packfile, etc). Without these messages, the
client just gets "unpacker error" with no extra useful
diagnosis.
2. No matter what the cause, we are probably better off
showing the errors to the client. If the client and the
server admin are not the same entity, it is probably
much easier for the client to cut-and-paste the errors
they see than for the admin to try to dig them out of a
log and correlate them with a particular session.
3. Users of the ssh transport typically already see these
stderr messages, as the remote's stderr is copied
literally by ssh. This brings other transports (http,
and push-over-git if you are crazy enough to enable it)
more in line with ssh. As a bonus for ssh users,
because the messages are now fed through the sideband
and printed by the local git, they will have "remote:"
prepended and be properly interleaved with any local
output to stderr.

receive-pack: redirect unpack-objects stdout to /dev/null
The unpack-objects command should not generally produce any
output on stdout. However, if it's given extra input after
the packfile, it will spew the remainder to stdout. When
called by receive-pack, this means we will break protocol,
since our stdout is connected to the remote send-pack.

clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the
usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch
refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will
end up grabbing all the other branches.
Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead
to correct this.
That means:
If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the
fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to.
If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch
specified in the "--branch" option.
If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all
refs of the cloned repository.
If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then
it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

Enable info/refs gzip decompression in HTTP client
Some HTTP servers try to use gzip compression on the /info/refs
request to save transfer bandwidth. Repositories with many tags
may find the /info/refs request can be gzipped to be 50% of the
original size due to the few but often repeated bytes used (hex
SHA-1 and commonly digits in tag names).
For most HTTP requests enable "Accept-Encoding: gzip" ensuring
the /info/refs payload can use this encoding format.
Only request gzip encoding from servers. Although deflate is
supported by libcurl, most servers have standardized on gzip
encoding for compression as that is what most browsers support.
Asking for deflate increases request sizes by a few bytes, but is
unlikely to ever be used by a server.
Disable the Accept-Encoding header on probe RPCs as response bodies
are supposed to be exactly 4 bytes long, "0000". The HTTP headers
requesting and indicating compression use more space than the data
transferred in the body.

Retrying without the query parameter was added as a workaround
for a single broken HTTP server at git.debian.org[1]. The server
was misconfigured to route every request with a query parameter
into gitweb.cgi. Admins fixed the server's configuration within
16 hours of the bug report to the Git mailing list, but we still
patched Git with this fallback and have been paying for it since.
Most Git hosting services configure the smart HTTP protocol and the
retry logic confuses users when there is a transient HTTP error as
Git dropped the real error from the smart HTTP request. Removing the
retry makes root causes easier to identify.
As reported by Jeroen Meijer[1]; the current code doesn't deal properly
with items (tags, branches, etc.) that have ${} in them because they get
expaned by bash while using compgen.
A simple solution is to quote the items so they get expanded properly
(\$\{\}).
In order to achieve that I took bash-completion's quote() function,
which is rather simple, and renamed it to __git_quote() as per Jeff
King's suggestion.
