A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.
Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.
Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).
Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This
is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

When showing merges in git-log, the same commit is shown once for each
parent. Combined with "--graph" this results in graph_show_commit()
being called once for each parent without graph_update() being called.
Currently graph_show_commit() does not print anything on subsequent
invocations for the same commit (this was changed by commit 656197a -
"graph.c: infinite loop in git whatchanged --graph -m" from the previous
behaviour of looping infinitely).
Change this so that if the graph code believes it has already shown the
commit it prints a single padding line.

Callers may pass us a strbuf which we use to record the
content-type of the response. However, we simply appended to
it rather than overwriting its contents, meaning that cruft
in the strbuf gave us a bogus type. E.g., the multiple
requests triggered by http_request could yield a type like
"text/plainapplication/x-git-receive-pack-advertisement".

The typical use-case is starting a rebase, do something else, come
back the day after, run "git status" or make a new commit and wonder
what in the world's going on. Which branch is being rebased is
probably the most useful tidbit to help, but the target may help
too.
Ideally, I would have loved to see "rebasing master on
origin/master", but the target ref name is not stored during rebase,
so this patch writes "rebasing master on a78c8c98b" as a
half-measure to remind future users of that potential improvement.

Recent enhancements to git-completion.bash provide intelligent path
completion for git commands. Such completions do not provide the
'/' at the end of directories for recent versions of bash; instead,
bash itself will add the trailing slash to directories to the result
provided by git-completion.bash. However, the completion for tcsh
uses the result of the bash completion script directly, so it either
needs to add the necessary slash itself, or needs to ask the bash
script to keep the trailing slash.
Adding the slash itself is difficult because we have to check the
each path in the output of the bash script to see if it is meant to
be a directory or something else. For example, assuming there is a
directory named 'commit' in the current directory, then, when
completing
git add commit<tab>
we would need to add a slash, but for
git help commit<tab>
we should not.
Figuring out such differences would require adding much intelligence
to the tcsh completion script. Instead, it is simpler to ask the
bash script to keep the trailing slash. This patch does this.
Also, tcsh does not handle the colon as a completion separator so we
remove it from the list of separators.

"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o". When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute
gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E
instead to get the final content for hashing. Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E". The result is a target name without
a leading path.
Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:
$ make builtin/add.o
GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
* new build flags or prefix
CC builtin/add.o
$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \
After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":
$ touch cache.h
$ make builtin/add.o
$
Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option. Do so.

TortoiseGitMerge, unlike TortoiseMerge, can be told to handle paths
with spaces in them by using -option "$FILE" (not -option:"$FILE",
which does not work for such paths) syntax.
This change was necessary because of MSYS path mangling [1], the ":"
after the "base" etc. arguments to TortoiseMerge caused the whole
argument instead of just the file name to be quoted in case of file
names with spaces. So TortoiseMerge was passed
"-base:new file.txt"
instead of
-base:"new file.txt"
(including the quotes). To work around this, TortoiseGitMerge does not
require the ":" after the arguments anymore which fixes handling file
names with spaces [2] (as written above).
