When calling "git symbolic-ref" it is easy to forget that
the target must be a fully qualified ref. E.g., you might
accidentally do:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD master
Unfortunately, this is very difficult to recover from,
because the bogus contents of HEAD make git believe we are
no longer in a git repository (as is_git_dir explicitly
checks for "^refs/heads/" in the HEAD target). So
immediately trying to fix the situation doesn't work:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master
fatal: Not a git repository
and one is left editing the .git/HEAD file manually.
Furthermore, one might be tempted to use symbolic-ref to set
up a detached HEAD:
This patch introduces a small safety valve to prevent the
specific case of anything not starting with refs/heads/ to
go into HEAD. The scope of the safety valve is intentionally
very limited, to make sure that we are not preventing any
behavior that would otherwise be valid (like pointing a
different symref than HEAD outside of refs/heads/).

validate_headref: tighten ref-matching to just branches
When we are trying to determine whether a directory contains
a git repository, one of the tests we do is to check whether
HEAD is either a symlink or a symref into the "refs/"
hierarchy, or a detached HEAD.
We can tighten this a little more, though: a non-detached
HEAD should always point to a branch (since checking out
anything else should result in detachment), so it is safe to
check for "refs/heads/".

The size of the content we are adding may be larger than
2.1G (i.e., "git add gigantic-file"). Most of the code-path
to do so uses size_t or unsigned long to record the size,
but write_loose_object uses a signed int.
On platforms where "int" is 32-bits (which includes x86_64
Linux platforms), we end up passing malloc a negative size.

send-pack: do not send unknown object name from ".have" to pack-objects
v1.6.1 introduced ".have" extension to the protocol to allow the receiving
side to advertise objects that are reachable from refs in the repositories
it borrows from. This was meant to be used by the sending side to avoid
sending such objects; they are already available through the alternates
mechanism.
The client side implementation in v1.6.1, which was introduced with 40c155f (push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the
receiver, 2008-09-09) aka v1.6.1-rc1~203^2~1, were faulty in that it did
not consider the possiblity that the repository receiver borrows from
might have objects it does not know about.
This fixes it by refraining from passing missing commits to underlying
pack-objects. Revision machinery may need to be tightened further to
treat missing uninteresting objects as non-error events, but this is an
obvious and safe fix for a maintenance release that is almost good enough.

Rename detection: Avoid repeated filespec population
In diffcore_rename, we assume that the blob contents in the filespec
aren't required anymore after estimate_similarity has been called and thus
we free it. But estimate_similarity might return early when the file sizes
differ too much. In that case, cnt_data is never set and the next call to
estimate_similarity will populate the filespec again, eventually rereading
the same blob over and over again.
To fix that, we first get the blob sizes and only when the blob contents
are actually required, and when cnt_data will be set, the full filespec is
populated, once.

http-push: when making directories, have a trailing slash in the path name
The function lock_remote() sends MKCOL requests to make leading
directories; However, if it does not put a forward slash '/' at the end of
the path, the server sends a 301 redirect.
By leaving the '/' in place, we can avoid this additional step.
Incidentally, at least one version of Curl (7.16.3) does not resend
credentials when it follows a 301 redirect, so this commit also fixes
a bug.

git-commit tries to remove the file ./COMMIT_EDITMSG instead of
$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG after commit preparation (e.g. running
hooks, launching editor).
This behavior exists since f5bbc3225c4b07 "Port git commit to C".
Some test cases (e.g. t/t7502-commit.sh) rely on the existence of
$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG after committing and, I guess, many people
are used to it. So it is best not to remove it.
This patch just removes the removal of COMMIT_EDITMSG.

Teach format-patch to handle output directory relative to cwd
Without any explicit -o parameter, we correctly avoided putting the
resulting patch output to the toplevel. We should do the same when
the user gave a relative pathname to be consistent with this case.
Even without --root specified, if the range given on the command line
happens to include a root commit, we should include its patch text in the
output.
This fix deliberately ignores log.showroot configuration variable because
"format-patch" and "log -p" can and should behave differently in this
case, as the former is about exporting a part of your history in a form
that is replayable elsewhere and just giving the commit log message
without the patch text does not make any sense for that purpose.
Noticed and fix originally attempted by Nathan W. Panike; credit goes to
Alexander Potashev for injecting sanity to my initial (broken) fix that
used the value from log.showroot configuration, which was misguided.

unpack-trees: remove redundant path search in verify_absent
Since the only caller, verify_absent, relies on the fact that o->pos
points to the next index entry anyways, there is no need to recompute
its position.
Furthermore, if a nondirectory entry were found, this would return too
early, because there could still be an untracked directory in the way.
This is currently not a problem, because verify_absent is only called
if the index does not have this entry.
unpack-trees: fix path search bug in verify_absent
Commit 0cf73755 (unpack-trees.c: assume submodules are clean during
check-out) changed an argument to verify_absent from 'path' to 'ce',
which is however shadowed by a local variable of the same name.
The bug triggers if verify_absent is used on a tree entry, for which
the index contains one or more subsequent directories of the same
length. The affected subdirectories are removed from the index. The
testcase included in this commit bisects to 55218834 (checkout: do not
lose staged removal), which reveals the bug in this case, but is
otherwise unrelated.
Commit 203a2fe1 (Allow callers of unpack_trees() to handle failure)
changed the "die on error" behavior to "return failure code".
verify_absent did not handle errors returned by
verify_clean_subdirectory, however.

git checkout: do not allow switching to a tree-ish that is not a commit
"git checkout -b newbranch $commit^{tree}" mistakenly created a new branch
rooted at the current HEAD, because in that case, the two structure fields

A git patch that does not change the executable bit records the mode bits
on its "index" line. "git apply" used to interpret this mode exactly the
same way as it interprets the mode recorded on "new mode" line, as the
wish by the patch submitter to set the mode to the one recorded on the
line.
The reason the mode does not agree between the submitter and the receiver
in the first place is because there is _another_ commit that only appears
on one side but not the other since their histories diverged, and that
commit changes the mode. The patch has "index" line but not "new mode"
line because its change is about updating the contents without affecting
the mode. The application of such a patch is an explicit wish by the
submitter to only cherry-pick the commit that updates the contents without
cherry-picking the commit that modifies the mode. Viewed this way, the
current behaviour is problematic, even though the command does warn when
the mode of the path being patched does not match this mode, and a careful
user could detect this inconsistencies between the patch submitter and the
patch receiver.
This changes the semantics of the mode recorded on the "index" line;
instead of interpreting it as the submitter's wish to set the mode to the
recorded value, it merely informs what the mode submitter happened to
have, and the presense of the "index" line is taken as submitter's wish to
keep whatever the mode is on the receiving end.
This is based on the patch originally done by Alexander Potashev with a
minor fix; the tests are mine.
