doc: do not use `rm .git/index` when normalizing line endings
When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the
documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal
implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`.
- Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a
file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git`
directory. Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work.
The purpose of the `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries
from the index without touching the working tree. The way to do this
with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.

Some submodule tests do some setup outside of a test_expect
block. This is bad because we won't actually check the
outcome of those commands. But it's doubly so because "git
add submodule" now produces a warning to stderr, which is
not suppressed by the test scripts in non-verbose mode.
This patch does the minimal to fix the annoying warnings.
All three of these scripts could use more cleanup of related
setup.

It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another
repository, like:
git clone $url
git add .
The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching
.gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone
with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to
v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely.
In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly
ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do
anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually
adding the submodule config.
In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real
submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in
their .gitignore file.
Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few
things to note:
- the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody
wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is
welcome to create whatever funny states they want.
- we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink;
updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable,
and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules
entirely
- there's a command-line option to suppress the warning.
This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the
entry before adding any submodule config), but also
provides a mechanism for other scripts doing
submodule-like things.
We could make this a hard error instead of a warning.
However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's
not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users
may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with
a gentle hint is probably the best option.
There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But
I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning
entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is
generally about context, not about the user's preferences.
If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without
matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the
new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the
warning.

Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its

to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to
report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O
error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open).
The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and
ENOTDIR (less obvious). Instead of repeating comparison of errno

Configure Git contribution guidelines for github.com
Many open source projects use github.com for their contribution process.
Although we mirror the Git core repository to github.com [1] we do not
use any other github.com service. This is unknown/unexpected to a
number of (potential) contributors and consequently they create Pull
Requests against our mirror with their contributions. These Pull
Requests become stale. This is frustrating to them as they think we
ignore them and it is also unsatisfactory for us as we miss potential
code improvements and/or new contributors.
GitHub contribution guidelines and a GitHub Pull Request template that
is visible to every Pull Request creator can be configured with special
files in a Git repository [2]. Let's make use of this!
git-stash: fix pushing stash with pathspec from subdir
The `git stash push` command recently gained the ability to get a
pathspec as its argument to only stash matching files. Calling this
command from a subdirectory does not work, though, as one of the first
things we do is changing to the top level directory without keeping
track of the prefix from which the command is being run.
Fix the shortcoming by storing the prefix previous to the call to
`cd_to_toplevel` and then subsequently using `git rev-parse --prefix` to
correctly resolve the pathspec. Add a test to catch future breakage of
this usecase.

t3200: add test for single parameter passed to -m option
Add a test for the case when only one parameter is passed to '-m'
(move/rename) option.
For example - if 'git branch -m bbb' is run while checked out on aaa
branch, it should rename the currently checked out branch to bbb.
There was no test for this particular case with only one parameter
for -m option. However, there's one similar test case for -M option.
Add test for making sure HEAD points to the bbb (new branch name). Also
add a test for making sure the reflog that is moved to 'bbb' retains
entries created for the currently checked out branch. Note that since
the topmost entry on reflog for bbb will be about branch creation, we
compare bbb@{1} (instead of bbb@{0}) with aaa@{0} to make sure the
reflog for bbb retains entries from aaa.

code using it still expects it to be a regular integer type and uses
it as a counter. Consequently, any even number given via

Commit 28ed9830b1 (get_packed_ref_cache(): assume "packed-refs" won't
change while locked, 2017-05-22) assumes that the "packed-refs" file
cannot change while we hold the lock. That assumption is
justified *if* the lock has been held the whole time since the
"packed-refs" file was last read.
But in `lock_packed_refs()`, we ourselves lock the "packed-refs" file
and then call `get_packed_ref_cache()` to ensure that the cache agrees
with the file. The intent is to guard against the possibility that
another process changed the "packed-refs" file the moment before we
locked it.
This check was defeated because `get_packed_ref_cache()` saw that the
file was locked, and therefore didn't do the `stat_validity_check()`
that we want.
The mistake was compounded with a misleading comment in
`lock_packed_refs()` claiming that it was doing the right thing. That
comment came from an earlier draft of the mh/packed-ref-store-prep
patch series when the commits were in a different order.
So instead:
* Extract a function `validate_packed_ref_cache()` that does the
validity check independent of whether the lock is held.
* Change `get_packed_ref_cache()` to call the new function, but only
if the lock *isn't* held.
* Change `lock_packed_refs()` to call the new function in any case
before calling `get_packed_ref_cache()`.
* Fix the comment in `lock_packed_refs()`.

fast-import: increase the default pack depth to 50

There doesn't seem to be a reason besides oversight for the change not

Interestingly, fast-import uses pack.depth when it's set, and the
git-config manual says the default for pack.depth is 50. While the

inconsistency is also confusing.

Update sha1dc from the latest version by the upstream
maintainer[1].
See commit a0103914c2 ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-05-20) for
the latest update. That update was done sans some whitespace changes
by upstream, which is why the diff here isn't the same as the upstream cc46554..e139984.
It also brings in a change[2] upstream made which should hopefully
address the breakage in 2.13.1 on Cygwin, see [3]. Cygwin defines both
_BIG_ENDIAN and _LITTLE_ENDIAN.
Adam Dinwoodie reports on the mailing list that that upstream commit
fixes the issue on Cygwin[4].
The upstream sha1dc code indents some lines with spaces.
While this doesn't match Git's coding guidelines, it's better
to leave this imported code untouched than to try to make it
match our style. However, we can use .gitattributes to tell
"diff --check" and "git am" not to bother us about it.

t5313: make extended-table test more deterministic
Commit a1283866b (t5313: test bounds-checks of
corrupted/malicious pack/idx files, 2016-02-25) added a test
that requires our corrupted pack index to have two objects.
The entry for the first one remains untouched, but we
corrupt the entry for second one. Since the index stores the
entries in sha1-sorted order, this means that the test must
make sure that the sha1 of the object we expect to be
corrupted ("$object") sorts after the other placeholder
object.
That commit used the HEAD commit as the placeholder, but the
script never calls test_tick. That means that the commit
object (and thus its sha1) depends on the timestamp when the
test script is run. This usually works in practice, because
the sha1 of $object starts with "fff". The commit object
will sort after that only 1 in 4096 times, but when it does
the test will fail.
One obvious solution is to add the test_tick call to get a
deterministic commit sha1. But since we're relying on the
sort order for the test to function, let's make that very
explicit by just generating a second blob with a known sha1.

Since commit 99caeed05 (Let 'git <command> -h' show usage
without a git dir, 2009-11-09), the git wrapper handles "-h"
specially, skipping any repository setup but still calling
the builtin's cmd_foo() function. This means that every
cmd_foo() must be ready to handle this case, but we don't
have any systematic tests. This led to "git am -h" being
broken for some time without anybody noticing.
This patch just tests that "git foo -h" works for every
builtin, where we see a 129 exit code (the normal code for
our usage() helper), and that the word "usage" appears in

"git $builtin -h" bypasses the usual repository setup and calls the
cmd_$builtin() function, expecting it to show the help text.
Unfortunately the commands in the log- and the diff- family want to
call into the revisions machinery, which by definition needs to have
a repository already discovered. Strictly speaking, they may not
need a repository only for parsing "-h", but it is a good discipline
to future-proof codepath to ensure that setup_revisions() is called
after we know that a repository is there.
Handle the "git $builtin -h" special case very early in these
commands to work around potential issues.
