e208f9cc75 make error()'s constant return value more visible
When git is compiled with "gcc -Wuninitialized -O3", some
inlined calls provide an additional opportunity for the
compiler to do static analysis on variable initialization.
For example, with two functions like this:

  int get_foo(int *foo)
  {
	if (something_that_might_fail() < 0)
		return error("unable to get foo");
	*foo = 0;
	return 0;
  }

  void some_fun(void)
  {
	  int foo;
	  if (get_foo(&foo) < 0)
		  return -1;
	  printf("foo is %d\n", foo);
  }

If get_foo() is not inlined, then when compiling some_fun,
gcc sees only that a pointer to the local variable is
passed, and must assume that it is an out parameter that
is initialized after get_foo returns.

However, when get_foo() is inlined, the compiler may look at
all of the code together and see that some code paths in
get_foo() do not initialize the variable. As a result, it
prints a warning. But what the compiler can't see is that
error() always returns -1, and therefore we know that either
we return early from some_fun, or foo ends up initialized,
and the code is safe.  The warning is a false positive.

If we can make the compiler aware that error() will always
return -1, it can do a better job of analysis. The simplest
method would be to inline the error() function. However,
this doesn't work, because gcc will not inline a variadc
function. We can work around this by defining a macro. This
relies on two gcc extensions:

  1. Variadic macros (these are present in C99, but we do
     not rely on that).

  2. Gcc treats the "##" paste operator specially between a
     comma and __VA_ARGS__, which lets our variadic macro
     work even if no format parameters are passed to
     error().

Since we are using these extra features, we hide the macro
behind an #ifdef. This is OK, though, because our goal was
just to help gcc.

cd163d4b4e usage.c: detect recursion in die routines and bail out immediately
It is theoretically possible for a die handler to get into a state of
infinite recursion.  For example, if a die handler called another function
which itself called die().  Let's at least detect this situation, inform the
user, and call exit.

3bc4181fde error_routine: use parent's stderr if exec fails
The new process's error output may be redirected elsewhere, but if
the exec fails, output should still go to the parent's stderr. This

625a860cb7 Fix truncated usage messages
The usage messages for some commands (such as 'git diff-tree')
are truncated because they don't fit in a fixed buffer of
1024 bytes.

It would be tempting to eliminate the buffer and the problem once
and for all by doing the output in three steps, but doing so could
(according to commit d048a96e) increase the likelyhood of messing
up the display.

So we just increase the size of the buffer.

64b1cb74f8 Introduce usagef() that takes a printf-style format
Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing
their usage messages.  An option is to change usage() itself also be like
printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn().

But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives
diagnostics depending on the situation.  Indeed, the majority of strings
given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings.  If we were to
make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have
"%s" as their first argument.

So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use
it.

b875036e5a Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die()
There are many calls to die() that do, or should, report
strerror(errno) to indicate how the syscall they guard failed.
Introduce a small helper function for this case.

Note:

- POSIX says vsnprintf can modify errno in some unlikely cases, so we
  have to use errno early.

- We take some care to pass the original format to die_routine(), in
  case someone wants to call die_errno() with custom format
  characters.

fa39b6b5b1 Introduce a global level warn() function.
Like the existing error() function the new warn() function can be
used to describe a situation that probably should not be occuring,
but which the user (and Git) can continue to work around without
running into too many problems.

An example situation is a bad commit SHA1 found in a reflog.
Attempting to read this record out of the reflog isn't really an
error as we have skipped over it in the past.

39a3f5ea7c Customizable error handlers
This patch makes the usage(), die() and error() handlers customizable.
Nothing in the git code itself uses that but many other libgit users
(like Git.pm) will.

This is implemented using the mutator functions primarily because you
cannot directly modifying global variables of libgit from a program that
dlopen()ed it, apparently. But having functions for that is a better API
anyway.

4050c0df8e Clean up compatibility definitions.
This attempts to clean up the way various compatibility
functions are defined and used.

 - A new header file, git-compat-util.h, is introduced.  This
   looks at various NO_XXX and does necessary function name
   replacements, equivalent of -Dstrcasestr=gitstrcasestr in the
   Makefile.

 - Those function name replacements are removed from the Makefile.

 - Common features such as usage(), die(), xmalloc() are moved
   from cache.h to git-compat-util.h; cache.h includes
   git-compat-util.h itself.

5d1a5c02e8 [PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status"
Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the
"git-update-index" call, make it exit if it fails, and show the error.

In order to do this, use the "-q" flag (to ignore not-up-to-date files)
and add a new "--unmerged" flag that allows unmerged entries in the index
without any errors.

This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually
modified, and makes sure that we exit with an understandable error message
if the index is corrupt or unreadable. "read_cache()" no longer returns an
error for the caller to check.

Finally, make die() and usage() exit with recognizable error codes, if we
ever want to check the failure reason in scripts.
