git-submodule.sh: preserve stdin for the command spawned by foreach
The user-supplied command spawned by 'submodule foreach' loses its
connection to the original standard input. Instead, it is connected to the
output of a pipe within the git-submodule script. The user-supplied
command supplied to 'submodule foreach' is spawned within a while loop
which is being piped into. Due to the way shells implement piping output
to a while loop, a subshell is created with its standard input attached to
the output of the pipe. This results in all of the commands executed
within the while loop to have their stdins modified in the same way,
including the user-supplied command.
This can cause a problem if the command requires reading from stdin or if
it changes its behavior based on whether stdin is a tty or not. For
example, this problem was noticed when trying to execute the following:
which printed a message about entering the first submodule and produced no
further output and exited with a status of zero. In this case, shortlog
detected that it was not connected to a tty, and since no revision was
supplied as an argument, it attempted to read the list of revisions from
standard input. Instead, it slurped up the list of submodules that was
being piped to the enclosing while loop and caused that loop to end early
without processing the remaining submodules.
Work around this behavior by saving the original standard input file
descriptor before the while loop, and restoring it when spawning the
user-supplied command.
This fixes the tests in t7407.

Documentation/i18n: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
As explained in v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work around em-dash handling in newer
AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23), if double dashes in names of commands are not
escaped, AsciiDoc renders them as em dashes.
While fixing that, spell the command name as "git sh-i18n--envsubst"
(2 words) instead of emphasizing the name of the binary (one
hyphenated name) and format it in italics.
The double-dash in the title should be escaped, too, to avoid spurious
em dashes in the header:
AsciiDoc 8.6.4 with DocBook XSL 1.76.0-RC1 copes fine and writes
"GIT\-SH\-I18N\-\-ENVSUB" even without this change, which is why it
was missed before.

AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs. Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.
AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML). Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).
AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement. Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters. The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain. (This patch will not
change that.)
The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc. Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name. The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

This required naming config files after the name of web server
(alternate solution would be to somehow mark for which web server was
config file generated).
Note that web servers that embed configuration in server script file,
namely webrick and plackup, and which delete "$conf" in their *_conf
function, would have their config (server script) always regenerated.

HEAD on a branch does reference a commit via the branch ref it refers to.
The main difference of a detached HEAD is that it _directly_ refers to
a commit. Clarify this.
It is an unimportant implementation detail that ref namespaces are
implemented as subdirectories of $GIT_DIR/refs. What is more important
is that tags are in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace.
Also note that a tag can point at an object of arbitrary type, not limited
to commit.

Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and
"symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation
detail.
This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote
documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/
file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around
remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We
collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the
various config files and carefully pass them back up. But
the two odd things are:
1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file.
In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if
fopen() fails on the file.
2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error
return at all, but will continue if git_config reports
an error.
When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it
dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to
be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the
file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed
config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error
in parsing a typo like:
git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean
will continue the command, ignoring the config the user
tried to give.

Add a gcc profile feedback build option "profile-all" to the main
Makefile. It simply runs the test suite to generate feedback data and the
recompiles the main executables with that. The basic structure is similar
to the existing gcov code.
gcc is often able to generate better code with profile feedback data. The
training load also doesn't need to be too similar to the actual load, it
still gives benefits.
The test suite run is unfortunately quite long. It would be good to find a
suitable subset that runs faster and still gives reasonable feedback.
For now the test suite runs single threaded (I had some trouble running
the test suite with -jX)
I tested it with git gc and git blame kernel/sched.c on a Linux kernel
tree. For gc I get about 2.7% improvement in wall clock time by using the
feedback build, for blame about 2.4%. That's not gigantic, but not shabby
either for a very small patch.
If anyone has any favourite CPU intensive git benchmarks feel free to try
them too.
I hope distributors will switch to use a feedback build in their packages.

rebase -i -p: include non-first-parent commits in todo list
Consider this graph:
D---E (topic, HEAD)
/ /
A---B---C (master)
\
F (topic2)
and the following three commands:
1. git rebase -i -p A
2. git rebase -i -p --onto F A
3. git rebase -i -p B
Currently, (1) and (2) will pick B, D, C, and E onto A and F,
respectively. However, (3) will only pick D and E onto B, but not C,
which is inconsistent with (1) and (2). As a result, we cannot modify C
during the interactive-rebase.
The current behavior also creates a bug if we do:
4. git rebase -i -p C
In (4), E is never picked. And since interactive-rebase resets "HEAD"
to "onto" before picking any commits, D and E are lost after the
interactive-rebase.
This patch fixes the inconsistency and bug by ensuring that all children
of upstream are always picked. This essentially reverts the commit: d80d6bc146232d81f1bb4bc58e5d89263fd228d4
When compiling the todo list, commits reachable from "upstream" should
never be skipped under any conditions. Otherwise, we lose the ability
to modify them like (3), and create a bug like (4).
Two of the tests contain a scenario like (3). Since the new behavior
added more commits for picking, these tests need to be updated to
account for the additional pick lines. A new test has also been added
for (4).

tests: link shell libraries into valgrind directory
When we run tests under valgrind, we symlink anything
executable that starts with git-* or test-* into a special
valgrind bin directory, and then make that our
GIT_EXEC_PATH.
However, shell libraries like git-sh-setup do not have the
executable bit marked, and did not get symlinked. This
means that any test looking for shell libraries in our
exec-path would fail to find them, even though that is a
fine thing to do when testing against a regular git build
(or in a git install, for that matter).

config.c: Make git_config() work correctly when called recursively
On Cygwin, this fixes a test failure in t3301-notes.sh (test 98,
"git notes copy --for-rewrite (disabled)").
The test failure is caused by a recursive call to git_config() which
has the effect of skipping to the end-of-file while processing the
"notes.rewriteref" config variable. Thus, any config variables that
appear after "notes.rewriteref" are simply ignored by git_config().
Also, we note that the original FILE handle is leaked as a result
of the recursive call.
The recursive call to git_config() is due to the "schizophrenic stat"
functions on cygwin, where one of two different implementations of
the l/stat functions is selected lazily, depending on some config
variables.
In this case, the init_copy_notes_for_rewrite() function calls
git_config() with the notes_rewrite_config() callback function.
This callback, while processing the "notes.rewriteref" variable,
in turn calls string_list_add_refs_by_glob() to process the
associated ref value. This eventually leads to a call to the
get_ref_dir() function, which in turn calls stat(). On cygwin,
the stat() macro leads to an indirect call to cygwin_stat_stub()
which, via init_stat(), then calls git_config() in order to
determine which l/stat implementation to bind to.
In order to solve this problem, we modify git_config() so that the
global state variables used by the config reading code is packaged
up and managed on a local state stack.

The 'forced modes' test fails on cygwin because the post-update
hook loses it's executable bit when copied from the templates
directory by git-init. The template loses it's executable bit
because the lstat() function resolves to the "native Win32 API"
implementation.
This call to lstat() happens after git-init has set the "git_dir"
(so has_git_dir() returns true), but before the configuration has
been fully initialised. At this point git_config() does not find
any config files to parse and returns 0. Unfortunately, the code
used to determine the cygwin l/stat() function bindings did not
check the return from git_config() and assumed that the config
was complete and accessible once "git_dir" was set.
In order to fix the test, we simply change the binding code to
test the return value from git_config(), to ensure that it actually
had config values to read, before determining the requested binding.

help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin
Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails
with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite
the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs
script.
The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable
status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the
load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional
merge strategy programs.
Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat
schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and
their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and
config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has
been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX
emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has
been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat()
may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the
core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables.
We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced
to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a
test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if
the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic
windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on
cygwin with core.filemode set to false.
Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are
correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for
before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are
not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set.
In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in
is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section,
which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if
the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional
code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned
by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would
set the executable bit in the file mode.)

refs.c had a error message "Trying to write ref with nonexistant object".
And no tests relied on the wrong spelling.
Also typo was present in some test scripts internals, these tests still pass.
