assuming that $PATH is already adjusted for our scripts, namely,
$GIT_EXEC_PATH is at the beginning of $PATH.
Old contrib scripts like contrib/convert-grafts-to-replace-refs.sh
and contrib/rerere-train.sh and third-party scripts like guilt may
however be using this as ". $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup",
without satisfying that assumption. Be more explicit by specifying
its path prefixed with "$(git --exec-path)/". to be safe.

git-svn: do not reuse caches memoized for a different architecture
Reusing cached data speeds up git-svn by quite a fair bit. However, if
the YAML module is unavailable, the caches are written to disk in an
architecture-dependent manner. That leads to problems when upgrading,
say, from 32-bit to 64-bit Git for Windows.
Let's just try to read those caches back if we detect the absence of the
YAML module and the presence of the file, and delete the file if it
could not be read back correctly.
Note that the only way to catch the error when the memoized cache could
not be read back is to put the call inside an `eval { ... }` block
because it would die otherwise; the `eval` block should also return `1`
in case of success explicitly since the function reading back the cached
data does not return an appropriate value to test for success.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/233.

diff: handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository
When generating diffs outside a repository (e.g., with "diff
--no-index"), we may write abbreviated sha1s as part of
"--raw" output or the "index" lines of "--patch" output.
Since we have no object database, we never find any
collisions, and these sha1s get whatever static abbreviation
length is configured (typically 7).
However, we do blindly look in ".git/objects" to see if any
objects exist, even though we know we are not in a
repository. This is usually harmless because such a
directory is unlikely to exist, but could be wrong in rare
circumstances.
Let's instead notice when we are not in a repository and
behave as if the object database is empty (i.e., just use
the default abbrev length). It would perhaps make sense to
be conservative and show full sha1s in that case, but
showing the default abbreviation is what we've always done
(and is certainly less ugly).
Note that this does mean that:
cd /not/a/repo
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=/some/real/objdir git diff --no-index ...
used to look for collisions in /some/real/objdir but now
does not. This could be considered either a bugfix (we do
not look at objects if we have no repository) or a
regression, but it seems unlikely that anybody would care
much either way.

The word "align" describes how the function actually differs
from find_unique_abbrev, and will make it less confusing

not do this alignment.

its descriptive comment to the header file, where we
typically document function interfaces.

Some code paths want to format multiple abbreviated sha1s in
the same output line. Because we use a single static buffer
for our return value, they have to either break their output
into several calls or allocate their own arrays and use
find_unique_abbrev_r().
Intead, let's mimic sha1_to_hex() and use a ring of several
buffers, so that the return value stays valid through
multiple calls. This shortens some of the callers, and makes
it harder to for them to make a silly mistake.

read info/{attributes,exclude} only when in repository
The low-level attribute and gitignore code will try to look

even if we have not actually determined that we are in a

case they end up looking for ".git/info/attributes", etc.
This is generally harmless, as such a file is unlikely to
exist outside of a repository, but it's still conceptually
the wrong thing to do.

There still are a few topics that need to go in before -rc0 which

An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant

ends up removing everything. Start warning about this use of an
empty string used for 'everything matches' and ask users to use a

stash: allow stashes to be referenced by index only
Instead of referencing "stash@{n}" explicitly, make it possible to
simply reference as "n". Most users only reference stashes by their
position in the stash stack (what I refer to as the "index" here).
The syntax for the typical stash (stash@{n}) is slightly annoying and
easy to forget, and sometimes difficult to escape properly in a
script. Because of this the capability to do things with the stash by
simply referencing the index is desirable.
This patch includes the superior implementation provided by Øsse Walle

suite. I also merged the test scripts as suggested by Jeff King, and

t0060: sidestep surprising path mangling results on Windows
When an MSYS program (such as the bash that drives the test suite)
invokes git on Windows, absolute Unix style paths are transformed into
Windows native absolute paths (drive letter form). However, this
transformation also includes some simplifications that are not just
straight-forward textual substitutions:
- When the path ends in "/.", then the dot is stripped, but not the
directory separator.
- When the path contains "..", then it is optimized away if possible,
e.g., "/c/dir/foo/../bar" becomes "c:/dir/bar".
These additional transformations violate the assumptions of some
submodule path tests. We can avoid them when the input is already a
Windows native path, because then MSYS leaves the path unmolested.
Convert the uses of $PWD to $(pwd); the latter returns a native Windows
path.

read-cache: make sure file handles are not inherited by child processes
This fixes "convert: add filter.<driver>.process option" (edcc8581) on
Windows.
Consider the case of a file that requires filtering and is present in
branch A but not in branch B. If A is the current HEAD and we checkout B
then the following happens:
1. ce_compare_data() opens the file
2. index_fd() detects that the file requires to run a clean filter and
calls index_stream_convert_blob()
4. index_stream_convert_blob() calls convert_to_git_filter_fd()
5. convert_to_git_filter_fd() calls apply_filter() which creates a
new long running filter process (in case it is the first file
of this kind to be filtered)
6. The new filter process inherits all file handles. This is the
default on Linux/OSX and is explicitly defined in the
`CreateProcessW` call in `mingw.c` on Windows.
7. ce_compare_data() closes the file
8. Git unlinks the file as it is not present in B
The unlink operation does not work on Windows because the filter process
has still an open handle to the file. On Linux/OSX the unlink operation
succeeds but the file descriptors still leak into the child process.
Fix this problem by opening files in read-cache with the O_CLOEXEC flag
to ensure that the file descriptor does not remain open in a newly
spawned process similar to 05d1ed6148 ("mingw: ensure temporary file
handles are not inherited by child processes", 2016-08-22).

descriptors of the main process. These leaked file descriptors can
cause problems.
Use the O_CLOEXEC flag similar to 05d1ed61 to fix the leaked file
descriptors.

sha1_file: rename git_open_noatime() to git_open()
This function is meant to be used when reading from files in the
object store, and the original objective was to avoid smudging atime
of loose object files too often, hence its name. Because we'll be
extending its role in the next commit to also arrange the file
descriptors they return auto-closed in the child processes, rename
it to lose "noatime" part that is too specific.

doc: fix the 'revert a faulty merge' ASCII art tab spacing
The asciidoctor doc-tool stack does not always respect the 'tab = 8 spaces' rule
expectation, particularly for the Git-for-Windows generated html pages. This
follows on from the 'doc: fix merge-base ASCII art tab spacing' fix.
Use just spaces within the block of the ascii art.
All other *.txt ascii art containing three dashes has been checked.
Asciidoctor correctly formats the other art blocks that do contain tabs.

commit: don't be fooled by ita entries when creating initial commit
ita entries are dropped at tree generation phase. If the entire index
consists of just ita entries, the result would be a a commit with no
entries, which should be caught unless --allow-empty is specified. The
test "!!active_nr" is not sufficient to catch this.

commit: fix empty commit creation when there's no changes but ita entries
If i-t-a entries are present and there is no change between the index
and HEAD i-t-a entries, index_differs_from() still returns "dirty, new
entries" (aka, the resulting commit is not empty), but cache-tree will
skip i-t-a entries and produce the exact same tree of current
commit.
index_differs_from() is supposed to catch this so we can abort
git-commit (unless --no-empty is specified). Update it to optionally
ignore i-t-a entries when doing a diff between the index and HEAD so
that it would return "no change" in this case and abort commit.

The option --ita-invisible-in-index exposes the "ita_invisible_in_index"
diff flag to outside to allow easier experimentation with this new mode.
The "plan" is to make --ita-invisible-in-index default to keep consistent
behavior with 'status' and 'commit', but a bunch other commands like
'apply', 'merge', 'reset'.... need to be taken into consideration as well.

diff-lib: allow ita entries treated as "not yet exist in index"
When comparing the index and the working tree to show which paths are
new, and comparing the tree recorded in the HEAD and the index to see if
committing the contents recorded in the index would result in an empty
commit, we would want the former comparison to say "these are new paths"
and the latter to say "there is no change" for paths that are marked as
intent-to-add.
We made a similar attempt at d95d728a ("diff-lib.c: adjust position of
i-t-a entries in diff", 2015-03-16), which redefined the semantics of
these two comparison modes globally, which was a disaster and had to be
reverted at 78cc1a54 ("Revert "diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a
entries in diff"", 2015-06-23).
To make sure we do not repeat the same mistake, introduce a new internal
diffopt option so that this different semantics can be asked for only by
callers that ask it, while making sure other unaudited callers will get
the same comparison result.

When we are checking the path via path_ok(), we use some
fixed PATH_MAX buffers. We write into them via snprintf(),
so there's no possibility of overflow, but it does mean we
may silently truncate the path, leading to potentially
confusing errors when the partial path does not exist.
We're better off to reject the path explicitly.

When there is a TAP harness consuming the output of our test
scripts, the "--verbose" breaks the output by mingling
test command output with TAP. Because the TAP::Harness
module used by "prove" is fairly lenient, this _usually_
works, but it violates the spec, and things get very
confusing if the commands happen to output a line that looks
like TAP (e.g., the word "ok" on its own line).
Let's detect this situation and complain. Just calling
error() isn't great, though; prove will tell us that the
script failed, but the message doesn't make it through to
the user. Instead, we can use the special TAP signal "Bail
out!". This not only shows the message to the user, but
instructs the harness to stop running the tests entirely.
This is exactly what we want here, as the problem is in the
command-line options, and every test script would produce
the same error.
The result looks like this (the first "Bailout called" line
is in red if prove uses color on your terminal):
$ make GIT_TEST_OPTS='--verbose --tee'
rm -f -r 'test-results'
*** prove ***
Bailout called. Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log
FAILED--Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log
Makefile:39: recipe for target 'prove' failed
make: *** [prove] Error 255
