checkout: avoid using the rev_info flag leak_pending
The leak_pending flag is so awkward to use that multiple comments had to
be added around each occurrence. We only use it for remembering the
commits whose marks we have to clear after checking if the old HEAD is
detached. This is easy, though: We need to do that for the old commit,
the new one -- and for all refs.
Don't bother tracking exactly which commits need their flags cleared,
just nuke all we have in-core. This change is safe because refs can
point at anything, so other program parts can't depend on any kept flags
anyway. And since all refs are loaded we have to basically deal with
all commits anyway, so performance should not be negatively impacted.

bundle: avoid using the rev_info flag leak_pending
The leak_pending flag is so awkward to use that multiple comments had to

Use this original list of prerequisites to check if all of them are

are intentionally kept similar to the first one in the function.

The change in commit 4f2636667 (travis-ci: use 'set -x' in 'ci/*'
scripts for extra tracing output, 2017-12-12) left a couple of rough
edges:
- 'ci/run-linux32-build.sh' is executed in a Docker container and
therefore doesn't source 'ci/lib-travisci.sh', which would enable
tracing executed commands. Enable 'set -x' in this script, too.
- 'ci/print-test-failures.sh' iterates over all the files containing
the exit codes of all the executed test scripts. Since there are
over 800 such files, the loop produces way too much noise with
tracing executed commands enabled, so disable 'set -x' for this
script.
- 'ci/run-windows-build.sh' busily waits in a loop for the result of
the Windows build, producing too much noise with tracing executed
commands enabled as well. Disable 'set -x' for the duration of

merge-recursive: avoid incorporating uncommitted changes in a merge
builtin/merge.c contains this important requirement for merge strategies:
/*
* At this point, we need a real merge. No matter what strategy

* working tree, and when resolved cleanly, have the desired
* tree in the index -- this means that the index must be in

*/
merge-recursive does not do this check directly, instead it relies on
unpack_trees() to do it. However, merge_trees() has a special check for
the merge branch exactly matching the merge base; when it detects that
situation, it returns early without calling unpack_trees(), because it
knows that the HEAD commit already has the correct result. Unfortunately,
it didn't check that the index matched HEAD, so after it returned, the
outer logic ended up creating a merge commit that included something
other than HEAD.

Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to

When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these
are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref
or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic
to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might
be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different
path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely.
When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer
as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects
involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by
multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch
implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers
from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from
any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we
found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For

When the N-th previous thing checked out syntax (@{-N}) is used
with '--branch' option of check-ref-format the result may not be
the name of a branch that currently exists or ever existed. This
is because @{-N} is used to refer to the N-th last checked out
"thing", which might be a commit object name if the previous check
out was a detached HEAD state; or a branch name, otherwise. The
documentation thus does a wrong thing by promoting it as the
