The parser tried to clean up the object flags it used while finding
commits with matching string, but was not doing a very good job at it.
This caused "checkout -b new ':/token'", which internally tries to parse
':/token' twice as an object name, to fail when the commit in question
was reachable from only one ref.
The mask bits given to pop_most_recent_commit(&list, MASK) means "I have
already been on the list to be processed, so please do not place me again
even if I am found to be a parent of some other commit on the list." So
mark them when we add them to the list at the beginning.

dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning
stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocation
diff: make sure --output=/bad/path is caught
Remove hyphen from "git-command" in two error messages
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn
about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a
branch yet to be born.
However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed
something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is
dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was
"HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the
dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD".
Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and
consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty
repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday})
didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as
the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible. The funny
thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything
not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp.
Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an
integer, that gets assigned 1 when the input does not make sense as a
timestamp.
As I am too lazy to fix all the callers that use approxidate(), most of
the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the
code to parse reflog to use it as a demonstration.
Tests are mostly from Jeff King.

This teaches @{upstream} syntax to interpret_branch_name(), instead
of dwim_ref() machinery.
There are places in git UI that behaves differently when you give a local
branch name and when you give an extended SHA-1 expression that evaluates
to the commit object name at the tip of the branch. The intent is that
the special syntax such as @{-1} can stand in as if the user spelled the
name of the branch in such places.
The name of the branch "frotz" to switch to ("git checkout frotz"), and
the name of the branch "nitfol" to fork a new branch "frotz" from ("git
checkout -b frotz nitfol"), are examples of such places. These places
take only the name of the branch (e.g. "frotz"), and they are supposed to
act differently to an equivalent refname (e.g. "refs/heads/frotz"), so
hooking the @{upstream} and @{-N} syntax to dwim_ref() is insufficient
when we want to deal with cases a local branch is forked from another
local branch and use "forked@{upstream}" to name the forkee branch.
The "upstream" syntax "forked@{u}" is to specify the ref that "forked" is
configured to merge with, and most often the forkee is a remote tracking
branch, not a local branch. We cannot simply return a local branch name,
but that does not necessarily mean we have to returns the full refname
(e.g. refs/remotes/origin/frotz, when returning origin/frotz is enough).
This update calls shorten_unambiguous_ref() to do so.

When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing
this sequence:
* Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit
on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next';
* Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it;
* Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and
* "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify.
Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to,
to make the first two steps easier. When the branch to switch to is
specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD
is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two
commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD
at that commit.
With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz".

When we fall back to a standard for_each_reflog_ent() after failing to find
the nth branch switch (or if we had a short reflog) with the call to
for_each_recent_reflog_ent(), we do not need to free the memory allocated
for our strbuf's since a strbuf_reset() will be performed in
grab_nth_branch_switch() before assigning to the entry.
Plus, the strbuf_release() negates the non-zero hint we initially gave to

You can have quite a many reflog entries, but you typically won't recall
which branch you were on after switching branches for more than several
times.
Instead of reading the reflog twice, this reads the branch switching event
and keeps as many entries as the user asked from the latest such entries,
which is the minimum required to be able to switch back to the branch we
were recently on.

As we support seconds-since-epoch in $GIT_COMMITTER_TIME we should
also support it in a reflog @{...} style notation. We can easily
tell this part from @{nth} style notation by looking to see if the
value is unreasonably large for an @{nth} style notation.
The value 100000000 was chosen as it is already used by date.c to
disambiguate yyyymmdd format from a seconds-since-epoch time value.
A reflog with 100,000,000 record entries is also simply not valid.
Such a reflog would require at least 7.7 GB to store just the old
and new SHA-1 values. So our randomly chosen upper limit for @{nth}

In get_sha1_basic, we parse a string like
HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path/to/file
into its constituent ref, reflog date, and path components.
We never actually munge the string itself, but instead keep
offsets into the string with their associated lengths.
When we call approxidate on the contents inside braces,
however, we pass just a string without a length. This means
that approxidate could sometimes look past the closing brace
and (erroneously) interpret the rest of the string as part
of the date.

Right now it's a bit illogical, but at least it's an _undocumented_

The function returned NULL when no object that matches the name
was found, but that made the callers more complicated, as nobody
used that NULL return as an indication that no object with such
a name exists. They (at least the careful ones) instead took
the full 40-hexdigit and used in such a case, and the careless
ones segfaulted.
With this "git rev-parse --short 5555555555555555555555555555555555555555"
would stop segfaulting.
This is based on Jeff King's rewrite to my RFC patch, but "missing"
logic swapped to "exists". The final logic reads:
For existing objects, make sure the abbreviated string uniquely
identifies it. Otherwise, make sure the abbreviated string is
long enough so that it would not name any existing object.
