One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one
branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now
reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.

Avoid difference in tr semantics between System V and BSD
Solaris' tr (both /usr/bin/ and /usr/xpg4/bin) uses the System V
semantics for tr whereby string1's length is truncated to the length
of string2 if string2 is shorter. The BSD semantics, as used by GNU tr
see string2 padded to the length of string1 using the final character
in string2. POSIX explicitly doesn't specify the correct behavior
here, making both equally valid.
This difference means that Solaris' native tr implementations produce
different results for tr ":\t\n" "\0" than GNU tr. This breaks a few
tests in t0008-ignores.sh.
Possible fixes for this are to make string2 be "\0\0\0" or "[\0*]".
Instead, use perl to perform these transliterations which means we
don't need to worry about the difference at all. Since we're replacing
tr with perl, we also use perl to replace the sed invocations used to
transform the files.
Replace four identical transforms with a function named
broken_c_unquote. Replace the other two identical transforms with a
fuction named broken_c_unquote_verbose.

this should involve little more work than looking at the ref
files (and packed-refs) themselves. However, for-each-ref
will actually load each object from disk just to print its
sha1. For most repositories, this isn't a big deal, but it
can be noticeable if you have a large number of refs to
print. Here are best-of-five timings for the command above
on a repo with ~10K refs:
[before]
real 0m0.112s
user 0m0.092s
sys 0m0.016s
[after]
real 0m0.014s
user 0m0.012s
sys 0m0.000s
This patch checks for %(objectname) and %(objectname:short)
before we actually parse the object (and the rest of the
code is smart enough to avoid parsing if we have filled all
of our placeholders).
Note that we can't simply move the objectname parsing code
into the early loop. If the "deref" form %(*objectname) is
used, then we do need to parse the object in order to peel
the tag. So instead of moving the code, we factor it out
into a separate function that can be called for both cases.
While we're at it, we add some basic tests for the
dereferenced placeholders, which were not tested at all
before. This helps ensure we didn't regress that case.

cvsserver: Determinize output to combat Perl 5.18 hash randomization
Perl 5.18 randomizes the seed used by its hash function, so iterating

This usually broke t9400 (gitcvs.dbname, gitcvs.ext.dbname, when

t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.
This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test
which continues to pass even after this patch.

t: provide a perl() function which uses $PERL_PATH
Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.
Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.
Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.
Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.
Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test
which fails before this patch, and passes after.

The git build system supports a NO_PERL switch to avoid installing
perl bindings or other features (like "git add --patch") that rely on
perl on runtime, but even with NO_PERL it has not been possible for a
long time to run tests without perl. Helpers such as
nul_to_q () {
"$PERL_PATH" -pe 'y/\000/Q/'
}
use perl as a better tr or sed and are regularly used in tests without
worrying to add a PERL prerequisite.
Perl is portable enough that it seems fine to keep relying on it for
this kind of thing in tests (and more readable than the alternative of
trying to find POSIXy equivalents). Update the test documentation to
clarify this.

pathspec: stop --*-pathspecs impact on internal parse_pathspec() uses
Normally parse_pathspec() is used on command line arguments where it
can do fancy thing like parsing magic on each argument or adding magic
for all pathspecs based on --*-pathspecs options.
There's another use of parse_pathspec(), where pathspec is needed, but
the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't
want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to
parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs.
Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set,
--*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller
allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic),
then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set.
This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because
parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But
GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are
"git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in
overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and
producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any
magic into account.

Windows: a test_cmp that is agnostic to random LF <> CRLF conversions
In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.
Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.

The add--interactive --patch mode adjusts the UI based on
whether we are pulling changes from HEAD or elsewhere (in
the former case it asks to unstage the reverse hunk, rather
than apply the forward hunk).
Commit 166ec2e taught reset to work on an unborn branch, but
in doing so, switched to always providing add--interactive
with the sha1 rather than the symbolic name. This meant we
always used the "apply" interface, even for "git reset -p
HEAD".
We can fix this by passing the symbolic name to
add--interactive. Since it understands unborn branches
these days, we do not even have to cover this special case
ourselves; we can simply pass HEAD.
The tests in t7105 now check that the right interface is
used in each circumstance (and notice the regression from 166ec2e we are fixing). The test in t7106 checks that we
get this right for the unborn case, too (not a regression,

At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry()
can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last
parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type.
In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the
temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this
function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than
the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c.

Document rules to use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable in the scripted
Porcelain. git-rebase--interactive locally violates them, but it
is a leaf user that does not call out to or dot-source other
scripts, so it does not urgently need to be fixed.
* jc/reflog-doc:
setup_reflog_action: document the rules for using GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
* sb/repack-in-c:
repack: improve warnings about failure of renaming and removing files
repack: retain the return value of pack-objects
repack: rewrite the shell script in C
Some progress and diagnostic messages from "git clone" were
incorrectly sent to the standard output stream, not to the standard
error stream.
* jk/clone-progress-to-stderr:
clone: always set transport options
clone: treat "checking connectivity" like other progress
clone: send diagnostic messages to stderr
checkout: proper error message on 'git checkout foo bar --'
The previous code was detecting the presence of "--" by looking only at
argument 1. As a result, "git checkout foo bar --" was interpreted as an
ambiguous file/revision list, and errored out with:
error: pathspec 'foo' did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec 'bar' did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.
This patch fixes it by walking through the argument list to find the
"--", and now complains about the number of references given.

checkout: allow dwim for branch creation for "git checkout $branch --"
The "--" notation disambiguates files and branches, but as a side-effect
of the previous implementation, also disabled the branch auto-creation
when $branch does not exist.
A possible scenario is then:
git checkout $branch
=> fails if $branch is both a ref and a file, and suggests --
git checkout $branch --
=> refuses to create the $branch
This patch allows the second form to create $branch, and since the -- is
provided, it does not look for file named $branch.

When drawing the graph of an octopus merge, we draw a horizontal line
from parents 3 and above into the asterisk representing the commit. The
sections of this line should be colored to match the graph lines coming
in from above.
However, if the commit is not in the left-most column we do not take
into account the columns to the left of the commit when calculating
these colors. Fix this by adding the appropriate offset to the column
index used for calculating the color.

This file isn't really harmful, but isn't useful either, and can create
minor annoyance for the user:
* It's confusing, as the presence of a *.pid file often implies that a
process is currently running. A user running "ls .git/" and finding
this file may incorrectly guess that a "git gc" is currently running.
* Leaving this file means that a "git gc" in an already gc-ed repo is
no-longer a no-op. A user running "git gc" in a set of repositories,
and then synchronizing this set (e.g. rsync -av, unison, ...) will see
all the gc.pid files as changed, which creates useless noise.
This patch unlinks the file after the garbage collection is done, so that
gc.pid is actually present only during execution.
Future versions of Git may want to use the information left in the gc.pid
file (e.g. for policies like "don't attempt to run a gc if one has
already been ran less than X hours ago"). If so, this patch can safely be
reverted. For now, let's not bother the users.

Clean up the internal of the name-hash mechanism used to work
around case insensitivity on some filesystems to cleanly fix a
long-standing API glitch where the caller of cache_name_exists()
that ask about a directory with a counted string was required to
have '/' at one location past the end of the string.
* es/name-hash-no-trailing-slash-in-dirs:
dir: revert work-around for retired dangerous behavior
name-hash: stop storing trailing '/' on paths in index_state.dir_hash
employ new explicit "exists in index?" API
name-hash: refactor polymorphic index_name_exists()
