Makefile: link builtins residing in bin directory to main git binary too

To conserve space/improve file caching we try to make hard or symbolic links
from each builtin program to the main git executable rather than having
each be a complete duplicate copy of it. We weren't doing this for the
builtin programs residing in the bin directory though. So, let's do so.

git-instaweb: Don't assume Apache executable is named apache2

On Arch Linux, the executable for the Apache HTTP server keeps
the 'httpd' name and is not named 'apache2'. The path to the
server modules also contains 'httpd' rather than 'apache2'.
Remove some of these assumptions and add the httpd name in where
it may be required. Finally, make some slight style adjustments

t/{t5541,lib-httpd}: replace problematic '!()' notation with test_must_fail

The '!()' notation is interpreted as a pattern-list on Ksh. The Ksh man
page describe it as follows:

!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list. If a space is added between the '!' and the
open parens, then Ksh will not interpret it as a pattern list, but in this
case, it is preferred to use test_must_fail, so lets do so.

t/t3700: convert two uses of negation operator '!' to use test_must_fail

These two lines use the negation '!' operator to negate the result of a
simple command. Since these commands do not contain any pipes or other
complexities, the test_must_fail function can be used and is preferred
since it will additionally detect termination due to a signal.

This was noticed because the second use of '!' does not include a space
between the '!' and the opening parens. Ksh interprets this as follows:

!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list. If a space is added between the '!' and the

git-svn: write memoized data explicitly to avoid Storable bug

Apparently using the Storable module during global destruction is
unsafe - there is a bug which can cause segmentation faults:

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36087
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482355

The persistent memoization support introduced in commit 8bff7c538
relied on global destruction to write cached data, which was leading
to segfaults in some Perl configurations. Calling Memoize::unmemoize
in the END block forces the cache writeout to be performed earlier,
thus avoiding the bug.

Earlier we tried to make sure that the trees we get are what A...B
syntax produced, by checking that earlier ones are all marked
uninteresting (which has to be true as they are merge bases),
there are two remaining ones that are interesting, and they are
marked as non-symmetric-left and symmetric-left respectively.

The "the last two must be interesting" condition is however wrong when one
is an ancestor of the other between A and B (i.e. fast-forward). In such
a case, one of them is marked uninteresting.

Export parse_date_basic() to convert a date string to timestamp

approxidate() is not appropriate for reading machine-written dates
because it guesses instead of erroring out on malformed dates.
parse_date() is less convenient since it returns its output as a
string. So export the underlying function that writes a timestamp.

While at it, change the return value to match the usual convention:
return 0 for success and -1 for failure.

2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account.

1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do
not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched
from run_builtin(). So the core.pager configuration is
not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them.

4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the
early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option.
Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all.

4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying
on the early pager launch.

Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a
“dashed external”. For simplicity, this still does not search for a
.git directory before running the external command; when run from a
subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager”
configuration is still not honored.

Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an
alias. Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any)
would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a
dashed external first. The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from-
subdirectory bug still applies here, too.

(1b) is not a regression. There is no need to fix it yet.

merge-tree: fix where two branches share no changes

15b4f7a (merge-tree: use ll_merge() not xdl_merge(), 2010-01-16)
introduced a regression to merge-tree to cause it to segfault when merging
files which existed in one branch, but not in the other or in the
merge-base. This was caused by referencing entry->path at a time when
entry was known to be possibly-NULL.

To correct the problem, we save the path of the entry we came in with,
as the path should be the same among all the stages no matter which
sides are involved in the merge.

Use dev_t for device id (st_dev) from stat in setup_git_directory_gently()

The original declaration was int, which seems to cause trouble on my
machine. It causes spurious "filesystem boundary" errors when running
the testsuite. The cause seems to be

$ stat -c%d .
2147549952

which is too large for a 32-bit int type.

Using the correct type, dev_t, solves the issue. (Because I'm
paranoid and forgetful, I checked -- yes, Unix v7 had dev_t.)

Other uses of st_dev seem to be reasonably safe. fill_stat_cache_info
truncates it to an 'unsigned int', but that value seems to be used only
to validate the cache, and only if USE_STDEV is defined.

Fix "read-tree -m A B" priming the cache-tree

In 456156d a shortcut to priming the index tree reference was

"read-tree -m A B" is to take the index (and the working tree)
that is largely based on (but does not have to match exactly) A
and update it to B, while carrying the local change that does
not overlap the difference between A and B, so there is no reason
to expect that the resulting index should match the tree B.

Reorganize `git-log' man page to clarify common diff options.

This will reduce considerably the common confusion where people miss the
`--follow' option, and wonder why `-M'/`-C' is not working.

* Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add
a "Common diff options" subtitle before them. (These options apply
only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among
newbies, so having them first is confusing.)

* Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options. The
options before that seem less important: `--full-diff' applies only
when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful
with many common commit specifications.

* Clarify that `--follow' works only for a single path argument.

fix git branch -m in presence of cross devices

When you have for example a bare repository stored on NFS, and that you
create new workdirs locally (using contrib's git-new-workdir), logs/refs
is a symlink to a different device. Hence when the reflogs are renamed,
all must happen below logs/refs or one gets cross device rename errors
like:

git branch -m foo
error: unable to move logfile logs/refs/heads/master to tmp-renamed-log: Invalid cross-device link
fatal: Branch rename failed

The fix is hence to use logs/refs/.tmp-renamed-log as a temporary log
name, instead of just tmp-renamed-log.

for p in ; do

and ksh complains like this:

/bin/ksh: syntax error at line 15 : `;' unexpected

The existing attempt to work around this issue, introduced by 70b89f87,
tried to protect the 'for' loop by first testing whether REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES
was empty, but this does not work since, as Johannes Sixt explains, "Before
the test for emptyness can happen, the complete statement must be parsed,
but ksh finds a syntax error in the statement and, therefore, cannot even
begin to execute the statement. (ksh doesn't follow POSIX in this regard,
where this would not be a syntax error.)".

Make's $(foreach) function could be used to avoid this shell glitch, but
since it has already caused a problem once before by generating a command
line that exceeded the maximum argument list length on IRIX, let's adopt
Bruce Stephens's suggestion for working around this issue in the same way
the OpenSSL folks have done it. This solution first assigns the contents
of the REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES make variable to a shell variable and then
supplies the shell variable as the list argument in the 'for' loop. This
satisfies ksh and has the expected behavior even if $(REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES)
is empty.
