fetch: allow explicit --refmap to override configuration
Since the introduction of opportunisitic updates of remote-tracking
branches, started at around f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically
update tracking refs, 2013-05-11) with a few updates in v1.8.4 era,
the remote.*.fetch configuration always kicks in even when a refspec
to specify what to fetch is given on the command line, and there is
no way to disable or override it per-invocation.
Teach the command to pay attention to the --refmap=<lhs>:<rhs>
command-line options that can be used to override the use of
configured remote.*.fetch as the refmap.

fetch doc: add a section on configured remote-tracking branches
To resurrect a misleading mention removed in the previous step,
add a section to explain how the remote-tracking configuration
interacts with the refspecs given as the command-line arguments.
It is misleading to mention that <ref> that does not store is to
fetch the ref into FETCH_HEAD, because a refspec that does store is
also to fetch the LHS into FETCH_HEAD. It is doubly misleading to
list it as part of "short-cut". <ref> stands for a refspec that has
it on the LHS with a colon and an empty RHS, and that definition
should be given at the beginning of the entry where the format is
defined.
Tentatively remove this misleading description, which leaves the
`tag <tag>` as the only true short-hand, so move it at the beginning
of the entry.
The text made it sound as if the leading plus is the only thing that
is optional, and forgot that <lhs> is the same as <lhs>:, i.e. fetch
it and do not store anywhere.
fetch doc: remove notes on outdated "mixed layout"
In old days before Git 1.5, it was customery for "git fetch" to use
the same local branch namespace to keep track of the remote-tracking
branches, and it was necessary to tell users not to check them out
and commit on them. Since everybody uses the separate remote layout
these days, there is no need to warn against the practice to check
out the right-hand side of <refspec> and build on it---the RHS is
typically not even a local branch.
Incidentally, this also kills one mention of "Pull:" line of
$GIT_DIR/remotes/* configuration, which is a lot less familiar to
new people than the more modern remote.*.fetch configuration
variable.
fetch doc: update note on '+' in front of the refspec
While it is not *wrong* per-se to say that pulling a rewound/rebased
branch will lead to an unnecessary merge conflict, that is not what
the leading "+" sign to allow non-fast-forward update of remote-tracking
branch is at all.

- "Branches" is a more common way to say "heads" in these days.
- Remote-tracking branches are used a lot more these days and it is
worth mentioning that it is one of the primary side effects of
the command to update them.
- Avoid "X. That means Y." If Y is easier to understand to
readers, just say that upfront.
- Use of explicit refspec to fetch tags does not have much to do
with turning "auto following" on or off. It is a way to fetch
tags that otherwise would not be fetched by auto-following.

Instead of showing a warning and working as before, fail and show
the message and force immediate upgrade from their upstream
repositories when these tools are run, per request from their

The author of the original topic says he broke the upcoming 2.0
release with something that relates to "synchronization crash

unfortunately be the safest option for the upcoming release.
git-prompt.sh: don't assume the shell expands the value of PS1
Not all shells subject the prompt string to parameter expansion. Test
whether the shell will expand the value of PS1, and use the result to
control whether raw ref names are included directly in PS1.
This fixes a regression introduced in commit 8976500 ("git-prompt.sh:
don't put unsanitized branch names in $PS1"): zsh does not expand PS1
by default, but that commit assumed it did. The bug resulted in
prompts containing the literal string '${__git_ps1_branch_name}'
instead of the actual branch name.

git-gui: tolerate major version changes when comparing the git version
Since git 2.0.0 starting git gui in a submodule using a gitfile fails with
the following error:
No working directory ../../../<path>
couldn't change working directory
to "../../../<path>": no such file or
directory
This is because "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" is only run when git gui
sees a git version of at least 1.7.0 (which is the version in which the
--show-toplevel option was introduced). But "package vsatisfies" returns
false when the major version changes, which is not what we want here.
Fix that for both places where the git version is checked using vsatisfies
by appending a '-' to the version number. This tells vsatisfies that a
change of the major version is not considered to be a problem, as long as
the new major version is larger. This is done for both the place that
caused the reported bug and another spot where the git version is tested
for another feature.

Makefile: default to -lcurl when no CURL_CONFIG or CURLDIR
The original implementation of CURL_CONFIG support did not match the
original behavior of using -lcurl when CURLDIR was not set. This broke
implementations that were lacking curl-config but did have libcurl
installed along system libraries, such as MSysGit. In other words, the
assumption that curl-config is always installed was incorrect.
Instead, if CURL_CONFIG is empty or returns an empty result (e.g. due
to curl-config being missing), use the old behavior of falling back to
-lcurl.

Fix a buffer over-stepping issue triggered by providing an absolute path
that is similar to the work tree path.
abspath_part_inside_repo() may currently increment the path pointer by
offset_1st_component() + wtlen, which is too much, since
offset_1st_component() is a subset of wtlen.
For the *nix-style prefix '/', this does (by luck) not cause any issues,
since offset_1st_component() is 1 and there will always be a '/' or '\0'
that can "absorb" this.
In the case of DOS-style prefixes though, the offset_1st_component() is
3 and this can potentially over-step the string buffer. For example if
work_tree = "c:/r"
path = "c:/rl"
Then wtlen is 4, and incrementing the path pointer by (3 + 4) would
end up 2 bytes outside a string buffer of length 6.
Similarly if
work_tree = "c:/r"
path = "c:/rl/d/a"
Then (since the loop starts by also incrementing the pointer one step),
this would mean that the function would miss checking if "c:/rl/d" could
be the work_tree, arguably this is unlikely though, since it would only
be possible with symlinks on windows.
Fix this by simply avoiding to increment by offset_1st_component() and
wtlen at the same time.

ewah_bitmap.c: do not assume size_t and eword_t are the same size
When buffer_grow changes the size of the buffer using realloc,
it first computes and saves the rlw pointer's offset into the
buffer using (uint8_t *) math before the realloc but then
restores it using (eword_t *) math.
In order to do this it's necessary to convert the (uint8_t *)
offset into an (eword_t *) offset. It was doing this by
dividing by the sizeof(size_t). Unfortunately sizeof(size_t)
is not same as sizeof(eword_t) on all platforms.
This causes illegal memory accesses and other bad things to
happen when attempting to use bitmaps on those platforms.
Fix this by dividing by the sizeof(eword_t) instead which
will always be correct for all platforms.

git-prompt.sh: don't put unsanitized branch names in $PS1
Both bash and zsh subject the value of PS1 to parameter expansion,
command substitution, and arithmetic expansion. Rather than include
the raw, unescaped branch name in PS1 when running in two- or
three-argument mode, construct PS1 to reference a variable that holds
the branch name. Because the shells do not recursively expand, this
avoids arbitrary code execution by specially-crafted branch names such
as '$(IFS=_;cmd=sudo_rm_-rf_/;$cmd)'.

Git 2.0: git svn: Set default --prefix='origin/' if --prefix is not given
git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in
refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using
refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches.
Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of
clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.
Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.
For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw
warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.
every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.
The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to
git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in
refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging
users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is
suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead,
git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves
unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above.
This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the
--prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone).
Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of)
prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they
can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "")
on the git svn init/clone command line.
The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/",
updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn
testcases.
(Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff
and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)
