In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:
1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
current branch instead of producing an error.
2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
explicit "--" is better:
# before
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Could not checkout bogus
# after
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
fatal: invalid reference: bogus
Could not checkout bogus
The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

t1510: fix typo in the comment of a test
Documentation updates for 'GIT_WORK_TREE without GIT_DIR' historical usecase
Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir
tests: compress the setup tests
tests: cosmetic improvements to the repo-setup test
t/README: hint about using $(pwd) rather than $PWD in tests
Fix expected values of setup tests on Windows
The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.
However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.

The current treatment of "git reset --keep" emphasizes how it
differs from --hard (treatment of local changes) and how it breaks
down into plumbing (git read-tree -m -u HEAD <commit> followed by git
update-ref HEAD <commit>). This can discourage people from using
it, since it might seem to be a complex or niche option.
Better to emphasize what the --keep flag is intended for --- moving
the index and worktree from one commit to another, like "git checkout"
would --- so the reader can make a more informed decision about the
appropriate situations in which to use it.

The errno check added in commit 3ba7a06 "A loose object is not corrupt
if it cannot be read due to EMFILE" only checked for whether errno is
not ENOENT and thus incorrectly treated "no error" as an error
condition.
Because of that, it never reached the code path that would report that
the object is corrupted and instead caused funny errors like:
fatal: failed to read object 333c4768ce595793fdab1ef3a036413e2a883853: Success
So we have to extend the check to cover the case in which the object
file was successfully read, but its contents are corrupted.

New test helpers:
- setup_repo, to initialize a repository or gitfile pointing to a
repository, with core.bare and core.worktree set as specified;
- try_case, to run setup from a given directory and validate the
result, with GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE set as specified;
- try_repo, to initialize a repository and call "try_case" from the
toplevel and a subdirectory;
- run_wt_tests, to run a battery of tests that check for sane
behavior when GIT_WORK_TREE is set to various positions relative to
the .git dir and cwd.
Use these helpers to make the test shorter, less repetitive, and (one
hopes) easier to understand and modify.

t0000 contains two snippets of actual test output. This causes
problems when passing -v to the test[*]: the test infrastructure
echoes the tests before running them, and the TAP parser then sees
this test output and concludes that two tests failed and that the TAP
output was badly formatted.
Guard against this by quoting the output in the source.

The usual dwim_ref lookup prefers tags to branches. Because
checkout primarily works on branches, though, we switch that
behavior to prefer branches.
However, there was a bug in the implementation in which we
used lookup_commit_reference (which used the regular lookup
rules) to get the actual commit to checkout. Checking out an
ambiguous ref therefore ended up putting us in an extremely
broken state in which we wrote the branch ref into HEAD, but
actually checked out the tree for the tag.
This patch fixes the bug by always attempting to pull the
commit to be checked out from the branch-ified version of
the name we were given.

On Windows, bash stores absolute path names in shell variables in POSIX
format that begins with a slash, rather than in drive-letter format; such
a value is converted to the latter format when it is passed to a non-MSYS
program such as git.
When an expected test value is constructed, it must contain the value that
will be produced by git, which will be in the drive-letter format. But
TRASH_DIRECTORY is in POSIX format. Fix this by using $(pwd), which
produces drive-letter format since 4114156a (Tests on Windows: $(pwd) must
return Windows-style paths).
The change in t1510 is a straight seach-and-replace, except for the first
hunk of the diff.
