When creating a new file where a directory used to be (or the user had
an empty directory) the code did not check the result from lstat() closely
enough, and mistakenly thought the path already existed in the working tree.
This does not fix the problem where you have a patch that creates a file
at "foo" and removes a file at "foo/bar" (which presumably is the last file
in "foo/" directory in the original). For that, we would need to restructure
write_out_results() loop.
typechange tests for git apply (currently failing)
I've found that git apply is incapable of handling patches
involving object type changes to the same path.
Of course git itself is perfectly capable of making commits that
generate these changes, as it only tracks trees states. It's
just that the diffs between them are less useful if they can't
be applied.
Some of these are rare, but I've hit one of them (file becoming
a symlink) recently in real-world usage, and was inspired to
find more potential breakages :)
I'm not sure when I'll have time to fix these myself and I'm not
very familiar with the apply code. So if someone could get
some or all of these cases working, they would be my hero :)
Some of these are what I would refer to as corner-cases from
hell. Most (if not all) other systems fail some of these. In
fact, they aren't even capable of representing most of these
changes in their histories; much less being able to handle
patches to that effect.

The core function used in show-branch, join_revs(), was supposed
to be exactly the same algorithm as merge_bases(), except that
it was a version enhanced for use with more than two heads.
However, it needed to mark and keep a list of all the commits it
has seen, because it needed them for its semi-graphical output.
The function to implement this list, mark_seen(), stupidly used
insert_by_date(), when it did not need to keep the list sorted
during its processing. This made "show-branch --merge-base"
more than 20x slower compared to "merge-base --all" in some
cases (e.g. between b5032a5 and 48ce8b0 in the Linux 2.6 kernel
archive). The performance of "show-branch --independent"
suffered from the same reason.
This patch sorts the resulting list after the list traversal
just once to fix these problems.

Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.
This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.
Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different
integer enumeration.

It's entirely possible that we should just make that whole

go away. Yes, it's the right error code if a subdirectory is missing, and
yes, POSIX requires it, and yes, WXP is probably just a horrible piece of
sh*t, but on the other hand, I don't think git really has any serious
reason to even care.

any stderr output would cause the pipeline to fail.

gitweb: Send XHTML as 'application/xhtml+xml' where possible
"The 'text/html' media type [RFC2854] is primarily for HTML, not for
XHTML. In general, this media type is NOT suitable for XHTML."
This patch makes gitweb use content negotiation to conservatively send
pages as Content-Type 'application/xhtml+xml' when the user agent
explicitly claims to support it.
It falls back to 'text/html' even if the user agent appears to
implicitly support 'application/xhtml+xml' due to a '*/*' glob, working
around an insidious bug in Internet Explorer where sending the correct
media type prevents the page from being displayed.

Record the type of commit operation in the reflog.
If committing a merge (.git/MERGE_HEAD exists), an initial tree
(no HEAD) or using --amend to amend the prior commit then denote
the subtype of commit in the reflog. This helps to distinguish
amended or merge commits from normal commits.
In the case of --amend the prior sha1 is probably the commit which
is being thrown away in favor of the new commit. Since it is likely
that the old commit doesn't have any ref pointing to it anymore
it can be interesting to know why that the commit was replaced
and orphaned.
In the case of a merge the prior sha1 is probably the first parent
of the new merge commit. Consequently having its prior sha1 in the
reflog is slightly less interesting but its still informative to
know the commit was the result of a merge which had to be completed
by hand.

Allow user.name and user.email to drive reflog entry.
Apparently calling setup_ident() after git_config causes the
user.name and user.email values read from the config file to be
replaced with the data obtained from the host. This means that
users who have setup their email address in user.email will instead
be writing reflog entries with their hostname.
Moving setup_ident() to before git_config in update-ref resolves
this ordering problem.

This removes the "contaminate the well even more" approach
taken in the current merge-base postprosessing code. Instead,
when there are more than one merge-base results, we compute the
merge-base between them and see if one is a fast-forward of the
other, in which case the ancestor is removed from the result.
This actually removes the objects to be pruned, unless you specify "-n"
(at which point it will just tell you which files it would prune).
This doesn't do the pack-file pruning that the shell-script used to do,
but if somebody really wants to, they could add it easily enough. I wonder
how useful it is, though, considering that "git repack -a -d" is just a
lot more efficient and generates a better end result.

Add "raw" output option to blobs in "tree" view format
Add a "raw" output option to blobs in "tree" view format, so that the
user doesn't have to click on "blob", wait for the (binary) file to be
uploaded and shown in "blob" mode, and then click on "plain" to
download the (binary) file.
This is useful when the file is clearly binary and we don't want the
browser to upload and display it in "blob" mode, but we just want to
download it. Case in point: pdf files, wlg.
Note: the "raw" format is equivalent to the blob->plain view, not
blob->head view. I.e. the view has the hash of the file as listed
by git-ls-tree, not just "HEAD".

diff: do not use configuration magic at the core-level
The Porcelainish has become so much usable as the UI that there
is not much reason people should be using the core programs by
hand anymore. At this point we are better off making the
behaviour of the core programs predictable by keeping them
unaffected by the configuration variables. Otherwise they will
become very hard to use as reliable building blocks.
For example, "git-commit -a" internally uses git-diff-files to
figure out the set of paths that need to be updated in the
index, and we should never allow diff.renames that happens to be
in the configuration to interfere (or slow down the process).
The UI level configuration such as showing renamed diff and
coloring are still honored by the Porcelainish ("git log" family
and "git diff"), but not by the core anymore.
Even if the standard output is connected to a tty, do not
colorize the diff if we are talking to a dumb terminal when
diff.color configuration variable is set to "auto".
