c427b211b3 revert: remove --reset compatibility option
Remove the "git cherry-pick --reset" option, which has a different
preferred spelling nowadays ("--quit").  Luckily the old --reset name
was not around long enough for anyone to get used to it.

539047c19e revert: introduce --abort to cancel a failed cherry-pick
After running some ill-advised command like "git cherry-pick
HEAD..linux-next", the bewildered novice may want to return to more
familiar territory.  Introduce a "git cherry-pick --abort" command
that rolls back the entire cherry-pick sequence and places the
repository back on solid ground.

Just like "git merge --abort", this internally uses "git reset
--merge", so local changes not involved in the conflict resolution are
preserved.

82433cdf4d revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revert
When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be
handy to have the name of that commit easily available.  For example,
to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts:

	$ git revert 2eceb2a8
	error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature
	$ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch
	$ edit $(git diff --name-only)

Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit,
for cases like this.  This also makes it possible for scripts to
distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other
sources of an unmerged index.

After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving
to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is
no longer useful, so remove it.

b8c74690b2 revert: improve error message for cherry-pick during cherry-pick
In the spirit of v1.6.3.3~3^2 (refuse to merge during a merge,
2009-07-01), "git cherry-pick" refuses to start a new cherry-pick when
in the middle of an existing conflicted cherry-pick in the following
sequence:

 1. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
 2. resolve conflicts
 3. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin (instead of "git cherry-pick
    --continue", by mistake)

Good.  However, the error message on attempting step 3 is more
convoluted than necessary:

  $ git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
  error: .git/sequencer already exists.
  error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress.
  hint: Use --continue to continue the operation
  hint: or --quit to forget about it
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

Clarify by removing the redundant first "error:" message, simplifying
the advice, and using lower-case and no full stops to be consistent
with other commands that prefix their messages with "error:", so it
becomes

  error: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress
  hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)"
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

The "fatal: cherry-pick failed" line seems unnecessary, too, but
that can be fixed some other day.

dffc860028 revert: rearrange pick_revisions() for clarity
Deal completely with "cherry-pick --quit" and --continue at the
beginning of pick_revisions(), leaving the rest of the function for
the more interesting "git cherry-pick <commits>" case.

No functional change intended.  The impact is just to unindent the
code a little.

f80a87262a revert: rename --reset option to --quit
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the
sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce
--reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name.
Change it now, while we still have the time.

The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've
long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when
you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit.  Mnemonic:
this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using ---
we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure
and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state.

The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact.  We
might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though.

Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit)
instead of --reset.  While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions
of these operations in "-h" output.

Before:

	--reset		forget the current operation
	--continue	continue the current operation

After:

	--quit		end revert or cherry-pick sequence
	--continue	resume revert or cherry-pick sequence

ee27ca4a78 archive: don't let remote clients get unreachable commits
Usually git is careful not to allow clients to fetch
arbitrary objects from the database; for example, objects
received via upload-pack must be reachable from a ref.
Upload-archive breaks this by feeding the client's tree-ish
directly to get_sha1, which will accept arbitrary hex sha1s,
reflogs, etc.

This is not a problem if all of your objects are publicly
reachable anyway (or at least public to anybody who can run
upload-archive). Or if you are making the repo available by
dumb protocols like http or rsync (in which case the client
can read your whole object db directly).

But for sites which allow access only through smart
protocols, clients may be able to fetch trees from commits
that exist in the server's object database but are not
referenced (e.g., because history was rewound).

This patch tightens upload-archive's lookup to use dwim_ref
rather than get_sha1. This means a remote client can only
fetch the tip of a named ref, not an arbitrary sha1 or
reflog entry.

This also restricts some legitimate requests, too:

  1. Reachable non-tip commits, like:

        git archive --remote=$url v1.0~5

  2. Sub-trees of reachable commits, like:

        git archive --remote=$url v1.7.7:Documentation

Local requests continue to use get_sha1, and are not
restricted at all.

In order to suppress the warning, we simply correct the return type
in the function declaration.

'git merge' can be called without any arguments if merge.defaultToUpstream
is set. However, when merge.defaultToUpstream is not set, the user will be
presented the usage information as if he entered a command with a wrong
syntaxis. Ironically, the usage information confirms that no arguments are
mandatory.

This adds a proper error message telling the user why the command failed. As
a side-effect this can help the user in discovering the possibility to merge
with the upstream branch by setting merge.defaultToUpstream.

05bab3ea28 config.c: Fix a static buffer overwrite bug by avoiding mkpath()
On cygwin, test number 21 of t3200-branch.sh (git branch -m q q2
without config should succeed) fails. The failure involves the
functions from path.c which parcel out internal static buffers
from the git_path() and mkpath() functions.

In particular, the rename_ref() function calls safe_create_leading\
_directories() with a filename returned by git_path("logs/%s", ref).
safe_create_leading_directories(), in turn, calls stat() on each
element of the path it is given. On cygwin, this leads to a call
to git_config() for each component of the path, since this test
explicitly removes the config file. git_config() calls mkpath(), so
on the fourth component of the path, the original buffer passed
into the function is overwritten with the config filename.

Note that this bug is specific to cygwin and it's schizophrenic
stat() functions (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843). The
lack of a config file and a path with at least four elements is
also important to trigger the bug.

In order to fix the problem, we replace the call to mkpath() with
a call to mksnpath() and provide our own buffer.

3a81f33c52 t5501-*.sh: Fix url passed to clone in setup test
In particular, the url passed to git-clone has an extra '/' given
after the 'file://' schema prefix, thus:

    git clone --reference=original "file:///$(pwd)/original one

Once the prefix is removed, the remainder of the url looks something
like "//home/ramsay/git/t/...", which is then interpreted as an
network path. This then results in a "Permission denied" error, like
so:

    ramsay $ ls //home
    ls: cannot access //home: No such host or network path
    ramsay $ ls //home/ramsay
    ls: cannot access //home/ramsay: Permission denied
    ramsay $

In order to fix the problem, we simply remove the extraneous '/'
character from the url.

73b7eae60c refresh_index: make porcelain output more specific
If you have a deleted file and a porcelain refreshes the
cache, we print:

  Unstaged changes after reset:
  M	file

This is technically correct, in that the file is modified,
but it's friendlier to the user if we further differentiate
the case of a deleted file (especially because this output
looks a lot like "diff --name-status", which would also make
the distinction).

Similarly, we can distinguish typechanges ("T") and
intent-to-add files ("A"), both of which appear as just "M"
in the current output.

The plumbing output for all cases remains "needs update" for
historical compatibility.

4bd4e73093 refresh_index: rename format variables
When refreshing the index, for modified (or unmerged) files we will print
"needs update" (or "needs merge") for plumbing, or line similar to the
output from "diff --name-status" for porcelain.

The variables holding which type of message to show are named after the
plumbing messages. However, as we begin to differentiate more cases at the
porcelain level (with the plumbing message staying the same), that naming
scheme will become awkward.

Instead, name the variables after which case we found (modified or
unmerged), not what we will output.

024c843d47 Makefile: add option to disable automatic dependency generation
Now that the COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES feature is turned on
automatically for compilers that support it (see v1.7.8-rc0~142^2~1,
2011-08-18), there is no easy way to force it off.  For example,
setting COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES to the empty string in config.mak
just tells the makefile to treat it as undefined and run a test
command to see if the -MMD option is supported.

So allow setting COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=no to explicitly force
the feature off.  The new semantics:

 - "yes" means to explicitly enable the feature
 - "no" means to disable it
 - "auto" means to autodetect

The default is still "auto".  Any value other than these three will
cause the build to error out with a descriptive message so typos and
stale settings in config.mak don't result in mysterious behavior.

	Makefile:1278: *** please set COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES to
	yes, no, or auto (not "1").  Stop.

So now when someone using a compiler without -MMD support reports
trouble building git, you can reproduce it by running "make
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=no".

5f9f8d15f1 notes merge: eliminate OUTPUT macro
The macro is variadic, which breaks support for pre-C99 compilers,
and it hides an "if", which can make code hard to understand on
first reading if some arguments have side-effects.

The OUTPUT macro seems to have been inspired by the "output" function
from merge-recursive.  But that function in merge-recursive exists to
indent output based on the level of recursion and there is no similar
justification for such a function in "notes merge".

Noticed with 'make CC="gcc -std=c89 -pedantic"':

09116a1c31 refs: loosen over-strict "format" check
The add_extra_ref() interface is used to add an extra-ref that is _not_
our ref for the purpose of helping auto-following of tags and reducing
object transfer from remote repository, and they are typically formatted
as a tagname followed by ^{} to make sure no valid refs match that
pattern. In other words, these entries are deliberately formatted not to
pass check-refname-format test.

A recent series however added a test unconditionally to the add_ref()
function that is called from add_extra_ref(). The check may be sensible
for other two callsites of the add_ref() interface, but definitely is
a wrong thing to do in add_extra_ref(). Disable it.

e8b14d7e3f name-rev --all: do not even attempt to describe non-commit object
This even dates back to the very beginning of "git name-rev";
it does not make much sense to dump all objects in the repository
and label non-commits as "undefined".

c689332391 Convert many resolve_ref() calls to read_ref*() and ref_exists()
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed.  Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.

Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

f6667c5ee8 pretty: %G[?GS] placeholders
Add new placeholders related to the GPG signature on signed commits.

 - %GG to show the raw verification message from GPG;
 - %G? to show either "G" for Good, "B" for Bad;
 - %GS to show the name of the signer.

0c37f1fce6 log: --show-signature
This teaches the "log" family of commands to pass the GPG signature in the
commit objects to "gpg --verify" via the verify_signed_buffer() interface
used to verify signed tag objects. E.g.

    $ git show --show-signature -s HEAD

shows GPG output in the header part of the output.

ba3c69a9ee commit: teach --gpg-sign option
This uses the gpg-interface.[ch] to allow signing the commit, i.e.

    $ git commit --gpg-sign -m foo
    You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
    user: "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>"
    4096-bit RSA key, ID 96AFE6CB, created 2011-10-03 (main key ID 713660A7)

    [master 8457d13] foo
     1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:

 - The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
   in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
   would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
   with an option.

 - Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
   show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
   block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).

 - The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
   operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
   unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
   these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
   block would look like.

 - When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
   and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
   fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
   new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.

A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:

    $ git cat-file commit HEAD
    tree 3cd71d90e3db4136e5260ab54599791c4f883b9d
    parent b87755351a47b09cb27d6913e6e0e17e6254a4d4

but "git log" (unless you ask for it with --pretty=raw) output is not
cluttered with the signature information.
