2839478774 Work around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc
Older versions of AsciiDoc used to literally pass double dashes when we
used them in our linkgit macros and manpage titles, but newer ones (the
issue was first reported with AsciiDoc 8.5.2) turn them into em dashes.

Define litdd (literal double-dash) custom attribute in asciidoc.conf to
work this around.  While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the
description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among
other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body
text to also use this attribute.

506049c7df fix >4GiB source delta assertion failure
When people try insane things such as delta-compressing 4GiB files, they
get this assertion:

diff-delta.c:285: create_delta_index: Assertion `packed_entry - (struct index_entry *)mem == entries' failed.

This happens because:

1) the 'entries' variable is an unsigned int

2) it is assigned with entries = (bufsize - 1) / RABIN_WINDOW
   (that itself is not a problem unless bufsize > 4G * RABIN_WINDOW)

3) the buffer is indexed from top to bottom starting at
   "data = buffer + entries * RABIN_WINDOW" and the multiplication
   here does indeed overflows, making the resulting top of the buffer
   much lower than expected.

This makes the number of actually produced index entries smaller than
what was computed initially, hence the assertion.

Furthermore, the current delta encoding format cannot represent offsets
into a reference buffer with more than 32 bits anyway.  So let's just
limit the number of entries to what the delta format can encode.

a9bf09e19d detached-stash: simplify git stash show
This commit refactors git stash show to make use of the assert_stash_like function.

git show now dies if the presented argument is non-stash-like.

Previous behaviour was to tolerate commits that were not even stash-like.

Previously, git stash show would accept stash-like arguments, but
only if there was a stash on the stack.

Now, git stash accepts stash-like arguments always and only fails
if no stash-like argument is specified and there is no stash stack.

fb433dc912 detached-stash: simplify git stash branch
This patch teaches git stash branch to tolerate stash-like arguments.

In particular, a stash is only required if an argument isn't specified
and the stash is only dropped if a stash entry reference was
specified or implied.

The implementation has been simplified by taking advantage of
assert_stash_like() and the variables established by
parse_flags_and_rev().

f276872d89 detached-stash: refactor git stash pop implementation
git stash pop is abstracted into its own implementation function - pop_stash.

The behaviour is changed so that git stash pop fails early if the
the specified stash reference does not exist or does not refer to
an extant entry in the reflog of the reference stash.

This fixes the case where the apply succeeds, but the drop fails.
Previously this caused caused git stash pop to exit with a non-zero exit code
and a dirty tree.

Now, git stash pop fails with a non-zero exit code, but the working
tree is not modified.

92e39e4454 detached-stash: simplify stash_drop
Previously, git stash drop would fail noisily while executing git reflog
delete if the specified revision was not a stash reference.

Now, git stash drop fails with an error message which more precisely
indicates the reason for failure.

Furthermore, git stash drop will now fail with a non-zero status code
if stash@{n} specifies a stash log entry that does not actually exist.

This change in behaviour is achieved by delegating argument parsing
to the common parse_flags_and_rev() function (via a call to
assert_stash_ref).

indicate invalid log references using a non-zero status code.

ef763129d1 detached-stash: introduce parse_flags_and_revs function
Introduce parse_flags_and_revs. This function requires that
there is at most one stash-like revision parameter and
zero or more flags.

It knows how to parse -q,--quiet and --index flags, but leaves
other flags parsed.

Specified revisions are checked to see that they are at
least stash-like (meaning: they look like something created
by git stash save or git stash create).

If this is so, then IS_STASH_LIKE is initialized to a non-empty value.

If the specified revision also looks like a stash log entry reference,
then IS_STASH_REF is initialized to a non-empty value.

References of the form ref@{spec} are required to precisely identify
an individual commit.

If no reference is specified, stash@{0} is assumed.

Once the specified reference is validated to be at least stash_like
an ensemble of derived variables, (w_commit, w_tree, b_commit, etc)
is initialized with a single call to git rev-parse.

Repeated calls to parse_flags_and_rev() avoid repeated calls
to git rev-parse if the specified arguments have already been
parsed.

Subsequent patches in the series modify the existing
git stash subcommands to make use of these functions
as appropriate.

An ensemble of supporting functions that make use of the state
established by parse_flags_and_rev(). These are described below:

The ancillary functions are:

is_stash_like(): which can be used to test
whether a specified commit looks like a commit created with
git stash save or git stash create.

assert_stash_like(): which can be used by
commands that misbehave unless their arguments stash-like.

is_stash_ref(): which checks whether an argument
is valid stash reference(e.g. is of the form
['refs/']stash['@{'something'}])

assert_stash_ref(): which can be used by commands
that misbehave unless their arguments are both stash-like and
refer to valid stash entries.

a4941a81c8 reset: suggest what to do upon "git reset --mixed <paths>"
When you call "git reset --mixed <paths>" git will warn that using mixed
with paths is deprecated:

    warning: --mixed option is deprecated with paths.

That doesn't tell the user what he should use instead. Expand on the
warning and tell the user to just omit --mixed:

    warning: --mixed with paths is deprecated; use 'git reset -- <paths>' instead

The exact wording of the warning was suggested by Jonathan Nieder.

5a12c8864b apply: handle traditional patches with space in filename
To discover filenames from the --- and +++ lines in a traditional
unified diff, currently "git apply" scans forward for a whitespace
character on each line and stops there.  It can't use the whole line
because "diff -u" likes to include timestamps, like so:

 --- foo	2000-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500
 +++ bar	2010-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500

The whitespace-seeking heuristic works great, even when the tab
has been converted to spaces by some email + copy-and-paste
related corruption.

Except for one problem: if the filename itself contains whitespace,
the inferred filename will be too short.

When Giuseppe ran into this problem, it was for a file creation
patch (for debian/licenses/LICENSE.global BSD-style Chromium).
So one can't use the list of files present in the index to deduce an
appropriate filename (not to mention that way lies madness; see
v0.99~402, 2005-05-31).

Instead, look for a timestamp and use that if present to mark the end
of the filename.  If no timestamp is present, the old heuristic is
used, with one exception: the space character \040 is not considered
terminating whitespace any more unless it is followed by a timestamp.

c51c0da222 tests: exercise "git apply" with weird filenames
Check that "git apply" can cope with strange filenames, particularly
filenames with spaces.

Not all platforms have a sane enough diff -u and expand to
reliably create the such patches and maybe future versions of GNU
diff will handle funny characters differently, so this uses
pre-generated patches.  The script used to generate them is in
t/t4135/make-patches.

Filenames with tabs are not usable on NTFS; use something like the
FUNNYNAMES prerequisite from v1.3.0-rc1~67 (2006-03-03) to skip the
relevant tests when appropriate.  The detection is not shared in
test-lib.sh to avoid wasting time while running other test scripts.

Backslash is the path separator on Windows, so do not used it in
file names there (v1.6.3-rc0~93^2~6, 2009-03-13).

Finally, filenames starting with a quotation mark do not behave well
in msys (see v1.7.0-rc0~94^2, t4030, t4031: work around bogus MSYS
bash path conversion, 2010-01-01), so skip those tests on Windows,
too.

6dcca4d0ea Documentation/technical: avoid stray backslash in parse-options API docs
Due to some unpleasant interaction between the `quote', 'italics',
and `monospace` rules, a certain paragraph ends up rendered like so:

	‘short` is a character for the short option
	  (e.g. <tt>'e\’</tt> for <tt>-e</tt>, use <tt>0</tt> to omit),

Use the {apostrophe} to avoid this.

While at it, escape "->" strings: they are meant as a literal
two-character C operator, not a right-pointing arrow.

12378c0aa8 Documentation: remove backslashes in manpage synopses
For some reason, various manual pages have an asterisk escaped
with \ in the synopsis.  Since there is no other asterisk to pair it
with, Asciidoc does not consider this asterisk escapable, so it passes
the backslash through.

Each page either uses [verse] or has only one asterisk, so it
is safe to drop the backslashes (checked with asciidoc 8.5.2).

9257a1efe1 Documentation: clarify quoting in gitignore docs
An asterisk in "Documentation/*.txt" quoted with \ to avoid bold text
is being output as \* because asciidoc does not consider it a
candidate for escaping (there is no matching * to pair it with).

So the manual looks like it is saying that one should write
"Documentation/\*.txt" in the .gitignore file.
