21802cd328 send-email: Use To: headers in patch files
It's a minor annoyance when you take the painstaking time to setup To:
headers for each patch in a large series, and then go out to send the
series with git-send-email and watch git ignore the To: headers in the
patch files.

Therefore, always add To: headers from a patch file to the To: headers
for that message. Keep the prompt for the blanket To: header so as to
not break scripts (and user expectations). This means even if a patch
has a To: header, git will prompt for the To: address. Otherwise, we'll
need to introduce interface breakage to either request the header for
each patch missing a To: header or default the header to whatever To:
address is found first (be it in a patch or from user input). Both of
these options don't seem very obvious/useful.

3a3a29c1da daemon: allow more than one host address given via --listen

Teach it to accept more than one --listen options.

Remove the hostname information form the die, if no socket could be
created. It would only trigger when no interface out of either all
interface or the ones specified on the command line with --listen
options, can be listened to and so the user does know which "host" was

5c47e1c7c5 repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/object
In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'),
git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the
zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much
time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if
the user changed the zlib compression level).

However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories,
so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are
going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be
interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this
reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F
option that replaces the current -f.

Measurements taken using this patch on a current clone of git.git
indicate a 17% decrease in time being made available to users:

git repack -Adf  34.84s user 0.56s system 145% cpu 24.388 total
git repack -AdF  38.79s user 0.56s system 133% cpu 29.394 total

3328acedc6 perl: use "use warnings" instead of -w
Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.

The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.

As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:

    PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/env perl'

Which would previously result in failures, since "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w"
doesn't work as a shebang.

d48b284183 perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]
Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.

However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:

    sub run_cmd_pipe {
           my $fh = undef;
           open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
           return <$fh>;
    }

Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):

    t2016-checkout-patch.sh
    t3904-stash-patch.sh
    t3701-add-interactive.sh
    t7105-reset-patch.sh
    t7501-commit.sh
    t9700-perl-git.sh

Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.

The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.

All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

The test was missing some "&&" at the end of some lines and it
was wrong because, as the replacement refs were not fetched,
the commits from the parallel branch should not show up. This
was found by Elijah Newren.

This is fixed by checking that after the branch from HASH6 is
fetched, the commits from the parallel branch don't show up,
and then by fetching the replacement refs and checking that
they do show up afterwards.

6355e505ba builtin/revert.c: don't dereference a NULL pointer
cherry-pick will segfault when transplanting a root commit if the --ff
option is used.  This happens because the "parent" pointer is set to NULL
when the commit being cherry-picked has no parents.  Later, when "parent"
is dereferenced, the cherry-pick segfaults.

Fix this by checking whether "parent" is NULL before dereferencing it and
add a test for this case of cherry-picking a root commit with --ff.

a3c75056dc git-svn: check_cherry_pick should exclude commits already in our history
The merge-base between @$parents and $merge_tip may have been reached
through a merge commit.  This means that some commits that are ancestors
of @$parents will not be ancestors of $merge_base.  The mergeinfo
property will not list commits that are ancestors of @$parents, so we
need to explicitly exclude them.

[ew: squashed and cleaned up test case from Steven]

d391c0ff94 diff: don't use pathname-based diff drivers for symlinks
When we're diffing symlinks, we consider the contents to be
the pathname that the symlink points to. When a user sets up
a userdiff driver like "*.pdf diff=pdf", their "diff.pdf.*"
config generally tells us what to do with the content of
pdf files.

With the current code, we will actually process a symlink
like "link.pdf" using a configured pdf driver, meaning we
are using contents which consist of a pathname with
configuration that is expecting contents that consist of an
actual pdf file.

The most noticeable example of this would have been
textconv; however, it was already protected in its own
textconv-specific code path. We can still see the breakage
with something like "diff.*.binary", though. You could
also see it with diff.*.funcname, though it is a bit harder
to trigger accidentally there.

This patch adds a check for S_ISREG lower in the callstack
than the textconv-specific check, which should block use of
any userdiff config for non-regular files. We can drop the
check in the textconv code, which is now redundant.

d537c7492b git-reset.txt: make modes description more consistent
Currently, the structure of the individual mode entries is different
which makes it difficult to grasp the differences between the modes.
Also, the same items are named differently (e.g. <commit>, "the named
commit", "the given commit", "the commit being switched to").

Structure and word all mode entries consistently.
