"git help $cmd" unnecessarily enumerated potential command names
from the filesystem, even when $cmd is known to be a built-in.
Ideas for further optimization, primarily by killing the use of
is_in_cmdlist(), were suggested in the discussion, but they can

* ss/builtin-cleanup:

Fetching 'frotz' branch with "git fetch", while having
'frotz/nitfol' remote-tracking branch from an earlier fetch, would
error out, primarily because the command has not been told to

can be used to remove 'frotz/nitfol' to make room to fetch and
store 'frotz' remote-tracking branch.

t4056: add new tests for "git diff -O"
When we figure out how many file descriptors to allocate for
keeping packfiles open, a system with non-working getrlimit() could
cause us to die(), but because we make this call only to get a
rough estimate of how many is available and we do not even attempt
to use up all file descriptors available ourselves, it is nicer to
fall back to a reasonable low value rather than dying.
* jh/rlimit-nofile-fallback:
get_max_fd_limit(): fall back to OPEN_MAX upon getrlimit/sysconf failure
A few places where we relied on a fixed length buffer to hold
pathnames in these two programs have been converted to use strbuf.

prune-packed: use strbuf to avoid having to worry about PATH_MAX
read_sha1_file() that is the workhorse to read the contents given
an object name honoured object replacements, but there is no
corresponding mechanism to sha1_object_info() that is used to
obtain the metainfo (e.g. type & size) about the object, leading
callers to weird inconsistencies.
* cc/replace-object-info:
replace info: rename 'full' to 'long' and clarify in-code symbols
Documentation/git-replace: describe --format option
builtin/replace: unset read_replace_refs
t6050: add tests for listing with --format
builtin/replace: teach listing using short, medium or full formats
sha1_file: perform object replacement in sha1_object_info_extended()
t6050: show that git cat-file --batch fails with replace objects
sha1_object_info_extended(): add an "unsigned flags" parameter
sha1_file.c: add lookup_replace_object_extended() to pass flags
replace_object: don't check read_replace_refs twice
rename READ_SHA1_FILE_REPLACE flag to LOOKUP_REPLACE_OBJECT
Introduce "negative pathspec" magic, to allow "git log -- . ':!dir'" to
tell us "I am interested in everything but 'dir' directory".
* nd/negative-pathspec:
pathspec.c: support adding prefix magic to a pathspec with mnemonic magic
Support pathspec magic :(exclude) and its short form :!
glossary-content.txt: rephrase magic signature part
When no arguments are specified, $switch_to is empty so we end up
passing the empty string to "git merge-base --fork-point", which causes
an error. git-rebase carries on at this point, but in fact we have
failed to apply the fork-point operation.
It turns out that the test in t3400 that was meant to test this didn't
actually need the fork-point behaviour, so enhance it to make sure that
the fork-point is applied correctly. The modified test fails without
the change to git-rebase.sh in this patch.

Commit 48d25ca adds a new commit "7" to the repo that the next test case
in commit 1609488 clones from. But the next test case does not expect
this commit. For these tests, it's the bottom that's important, not
the top. Fix the expected commit list.
While at it, fix the default http port number to 5537. Otherwise when
t5536 learns to test httpd, running test in parallel may fail.

When trying to pop/apply a stash specified with an argument
containing IFS whitespace, git-stash will throw an error:
$ git stash pop 'stash@{two hours ago}'
Too many revisions specified: stash@{two hours ago}
This happens because word splitting is used to count non-option
arguments. Make use of rev-parse's --sq option to quote the arguments
for us to ensure a correct count. Add quotes where necessary.
Also add a test that verifies correct behaviour.

When seeing a full 40-hex object name, get_sha1_basic()
unconditionally checks if the string can also be interpreted as a
refname, but the result will not be used unless warn_ambiguous_refs
is in effect.
Omitting this unnecessary ref resolution provides a substantial
performance improvement, especially when passing many hashes to a
command (like "git rev-list --stdin") and core.warnambiguousrefs is
set to false. The check incurs 6 stat()s for every hash supplied,
which can be costly over NFS.

On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
$ git diff
^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

'checkout' is documented as one of the valid values for the
'submodule.<name>.update' variable, and in a repository with the
variable set to 'checkout', "git submodule update" command does
update using the 'checkout' mode.
However, it has been an accident that the implementation works this
way; any unknown value would trigger the same codepath and update
using the 'checkout' mode.
Explicitly list 'checkout' as one of the known update modes, and
error out when an unknown update mode is used.
Teach the codepath that initializes the configuration variable from
an in-tree .gitmodules that 'checkout' is one of the valid values.
The code since ac1fbbda (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode
from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02) used to treat the value 'checkout' as
unknown and mapped it to 'none', which made little sense. With this
change, 'checkout' specified in .gitmodules will stay to be 'checkout'.

Add a new possible error result that can be returned by
safe_create_leading_directories() and
safe_create_leading_directories_const(): SCLD_VANISHED. This value
indicates that a file or directory on the path existed at one point
(either it already existed or the function created it), but then it
disappeared. This probably indicates that another process deleted the
directory while we were working. If SCLD_VANISHED is returned, the
caller might want to retry the function call, as there is a chance
that a new attempt will succeed.
Why doesn't safe_create_leading_directories() do the retrying
internally? Because an empty directory isn't really ever safe until
it holds a file. So even if safe_create_leading_directories() were
absolutely sure that the directory existed before it returned, there
would be no guarantee that the directory still existed when the caller
tried to write something in it.

safe_create_leading_directories_const() returns a non-zero value on
error. The old code at this calling site recognized a couple of
particular error values, and treated all other return values as
success. Instead, be more conservative: recognize the errors we are
interested in, but treat any other nonzero values as failures. This
is more robust in case somebody adds another possible return value
without telling us.

If the input path has multiple slashes between path components (e.g.,
"foo//bar"), then the old code was breaking the path at the last
slash, not the first one. So in the above example, the second slash
was overwritten with NUL, resulting in the parent directory being
sought as "foo/".
When stat() is called on "foo/", it fails with ENOTDIR if "foo" exists
but is not a directory. This caused the wrong path to be taken in the
subsequent logic.
So instead, split path components at the first intercomponent slash
rather than the last one.
