Change mentions of "git programs" to "git commands"
Documentation: merge: one <remote> is required
help.c: give correct structure's size to memset()
'git push' failing because of non-fast forward is a very common situation,
and a beginner does not necessarily understand "fast forward" immediately.
Add a new section to the git-push documentation and refer them to it.

Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what
the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them
as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are
implemented as separate programs, but in other contexts, it is better to
use the term "git commands" consistently.

We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.
This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.
Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.
A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

Previously when merging directly from a local tracking
branch like:
git merge origin/master
The merge message said:
Merge commit 'origin/master'
* commit 'origin/master':
...
Instead, let's be more explicit about what we are merging:
Merge remote branch 'origin/master'
* origin/master:
...
We accomplish this by recognizing remote tracking branches
in git-merge when we build the simulated FETCH_HEAD output
that we feed to fmt-merge-msg.
In addition to a new test in t7608, we have to tweak the
expected output of t3409, which does such a merge.

If we have both a tag and a branch named "foo", then calling
"git merge foo" will warn about the ambiguous ref, but merge
the tag.
When generating the commit message, though, we simply
checked whether "refs/heads/foo" existed, and if it did,
assumed it was a branch. This led to the statement "Merge
branch 'foo'" in the commit message, which is quite wrong.
Instead, we should use dwim_ref to find the actual ref used,
and describe it appropriately.
In addition to the test in t7608, we must also tweak the
expected output of t4202, which was accidentally triggering
this bug.

When calling "git merge $X", we automatically generate a

they should, and exposes a failure when merging a refname

When making a histogram of delta chain length in the pack, the program
collects number of objects whose delta depth exceeds the MAX_CHAIN limit
in histogram[0], and showed it as the number of items that exceeds the
limit correctly. HOWEVER, it also showed the same number labeled as
"chain length = 0".
In fact, we are not showing the number of objects whose chain length is
zero, i.e. the base objects. Correct this.

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.
A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.
While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or
trailing whitespace, but inner whitespace should be kept verbatim even if
the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,
breaking, for example, clones from a path that has two consecutive spaces
in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation. This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.
A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.

longest_path_match() in symlinks.c does exactly what it's name says,
but in some cases that match can be too long, since the
has_*_leading_path() functions assumes that the match will newer be as
long as the name string given to the function.
fix this by adding an extra if test which checks if the match length
is equal to the 'len' parameter.

This test creates two directories, a/b and a/b-2, then replaces a/b with
a symlink to a/b-2, then merges that change into the 'baseline' commit,
which contains an unrelated change.
There are two bugs:
1. 'git checkout' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
2. 'git merge' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
The test goes on to create another branch in which a/b-2 is replaced
with a symlink to a/b (i.e., the reverse of what was done the first
time), and merge it into the 'baseline' commit.
There is a different bug:
3. The merge should be clean, but git reports a conflict.
