Older versions of Git before v1.7.10 did not DWIM
$ git pull $URL for-linus
to the tag "tags/for-linus" and the users were required to say
$ git pull $URL tags/for-linus
instead. Because newer versions of Git works either way,
request-pull used to show tags/for-linus when asked
$ git request-pull origin/master $URL for-linus
The recent updates broke this and in the output we see "for-linus"
without the "tags/" prefix.
As v1.7.10 is more than 2 years old, this should matter very little
in practice, but resurrecting it is very simple.

When <command> happens to be the magic string "less", today
git grep -O<command> -e<pattern>
helpfully passes +/<pattern> to less so you can navigate through
the results within a file using the n and shift+n keystrokes.
Alas, that doesn't do the right thing for a case-insensitive match,
i.e.
git grep -i -O<command> -e<pattern>
For that case we should pass --IGNORE-CASE to "less" so that n and
shift+n can move between results ignoring case in the pattern.
The original patch came from msysgit and used "-i", but that was not
due to lack of support for "-I" but it merely overlooked that it
ought to work even when the pattern contains capital letters.

When we try to open a loose object file, we first attempt to
open in the local object database, and then try any
alternates. This means that the errno value when we return
will be from the last place we looked (and due to the way
the code is structured, simply ENOENT if we do not have have
any alternates).
This can cause confusing error messages, as read_sha1_file
checks for ENOENT when reporting a missing object. If errno
is something else, we report that. If it is ENOENT, but
has_loose_object reports that we have it, then we claim the
object is corrupted. For example:
$ chmod 0 .git/objects/??/*
$ git rev-list --all
fatal: loose object b2d6fab18b92d49eac46dc3c5a0bcafabda20131 (stored in .git/objects/b2/d6fab18b92d49eac46dc3c5a0bcafabda20131) is corrupt
This patch instead keeps track of the "most interesting"
errno we receive during our search. We consider ENOENT to be
the least interesting of all, and otherwise report the first
error found (so problems in the object database take
precedence over ones in alternates). Here it is with this
patch:
$ git rev-list --all
fatal: failed to read object b2d6fab18b92d49eac46dc3c5a0bcafabda20131: Permission denied

The get_helper functions dynamically allocates an
argv_array, feeds it to start_command, and then returns. We
then have to later clean up the memory manually after
calling finish_command. We can make this simpler by just
using run-command's internal argv_array, which handles
cleanup for us.
This also prevents a memory leak in the case that
transport_take_over is used, in which case we free the child
in finish_connect, which does not manually free the array.

This avoids magic numbers when we allocate fixed-size argv
arrays, and makes it more obvious that we are not
overflowing.
It is also the first step to fixing a memory leak. When
git_connect returns a child_process struct, the argv array
in the struct is dynamically allocated, but the individual
strings are not (they are either owned elsewhere, or are
freed). Later, in finish_connect, we free the array but
leave the strings alone.
This works for the child_process created by git_connect, but
if we use transport_take_over, we may also end up with a
child_process created by transport-helper's get_helper.
In that case, the strings are freshly allocated, and we
would want to free them. However, we have no idea in
finish_connect which type we have.
By consistently using run-command's internal argv-array, we
do not have to worry about this issue at all; finish_command
takes care of it for us, and we can drop our manual free
entirely.
Note that this actually makes the get_helper leak slightly
worse; now we are leaking both the strings and the array.
But when we adjust it in a future patch, that leak will go
away entirely.

We currently set up the argv array by hand in a fixed-size
stack-local array. Using an argv array is more readable, as
it handles buffer allocation us (not to mention makes it
obvious we do not overflow the array).
However, there's a more subtle benefit, too. We leave the
function having run start_command (with the child_process
in a static global), and then later run finish_command from
another function. That means when we run finish_command,
neither column_process.argv nor the memory it points to is
valid any longer.
Most of the time finish_command does not bother looking at
argv, but it may if it encounters an error (e.g., waitpid
failure or signal death). This is unusual, which is why
nobody has noticed. But by using run-command's built-in
argv_array, the memory ownership is handled for us
automatically.

All child_process structs need to point to an argv. For
flexibility, we do not mandate the use of a dynamic
argv_array. However, because the child_process does not own
the memory, this can make memory management with a
separate argv_array difficult.
For example, if a function calls start_command but not
finish_command, the argv memory must persist. The code needs
to arrange to clean up the argv_array separately after
finish_command runs. As a result, some of our code in this
situation just leaks the memory.
To help such cases, this patch adds a built-in argv_array to
the child_process, which gets cleaned up automatically (both
in finish_command and when start_command fails). Callers
may use it if they choose, but can continue to use the raw
argv if they wish.

If we try to diff an index entry marked CE_VALID (because it
was marked with --assume-unchanged), we do not bother even
running stat() on the file to see if it was removed. This
started long ago with 540e694 (Prevent diff machinery from
examining assume-unchanged entries on worktree, 2009-08-11).
However, the subsequent code may look at our "struct stat"
and expect to find actual data; currently it will find
whatever cruft was left on the stack. This can cause
problems in two situations:
1. We call match_stat_with_submodule with the stat data,
so a submodule may be erroneously marked as changed.
2. If --find-copies-harder is in effect, we pass all
entries, even unchanged ones, to diff_change, so it can
list them as rename/copy sources. Since we found no
change, we assume that function will realize it and not
actually display any diff output. However, we end up
feeding it a bogus mode, leading it to sometimes claim
there was a mode change.
We can fix both by splitting the CE_VALID and regular code
paths, and making sure only to look at the stat information
in the latter. Furthermore, we push the declaration of our
"struct stat" down into the code paths that actually set it,
so we cannot accidentally access it uninitialized in future
code.

When git show -s is called for merge commit it prints extra newline
after any merge commit. This differs from output for commits with one
parent. Fix it by more thorough checking that diff output is disabled.
The code in question exists since commit 3969cf7db1. The additional
newline is really needed for cases when patch is requested, test
t4013-diff-various.sh contains cases which can demonstrate behavior when
the condition is restricted further.
Tests:
Added merge commit to 'set up a bit of history' case in t7007-show.sh to
cover the fix.
Existing tests are updated to demonstrate the new behaviour. Earlier,
the tests that used "git show -s --pretty=format:%s", even though
"--pretty=format:%s" calls for item separator semantics and does not ask
for the terminating newline after the last item, expected the output to
end with such a newline. They were relying on the buggy behaviour. Use
of "--format=%s", which is equivalent to "--pretty=tformat:%s" that asks
for a terminating newline after each item, is a more realistic way to
use the command.
In the test 'merge log messages' the expected data is changed, because
it was explicitly listing the extra newline. Also the msg.nologff and
msg.nolognoff expected files are replaced by one msg.nolog, because they
were diffing because of the bug, and now there should be no difference.

cmd_add_commit() is passed FETCH_HEAD by cmd_add_repository, which
is then rev-parsed into an object name. However, if the user is
fetching a tag rather than a branch HEAD, such as by executing:
$ git subtree add -P oldGit https://github.com/git/git.git tags/v1.8.0
the object name refers to a tag and is never peeled, and the git
commit-tree call (line 561) slaps us in the face because it doesn't
peel tags to commits.
Because peeling a committish doesn't do anything if it's already a
commit, fix by peeling the object name before assigning it to $rev
using peel_committish() from git:git-sh-setup.sh, a pre-existing
dependency of git-subtree.

The functionality of the "git diffall" script in contrib/ was
incorporated into "git difftool" when the --dir-diff option was added
in v1.7.11 (ca. June, 2012). Once difftool learned those features,
the diffall script became obsolete.
The only difference in behavior is that when comparing to the working
tree, difftool copies any files modified by the user back to the
working tree when the diff tool exits. "git diffall" required the
--copy-back option to do the same. All other diffall options have the
same meaning in difftool.

By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.
More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:
-old code;
+new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;
would appear identical to:
-old code;
+new good code;
Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.
The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.
