Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to
look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by
resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But
if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we
fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just
read the contents of the linked path.
Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition
reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code
path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump
back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent
results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this
isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat()
is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an
infinite loop calling lstat() and stat().
We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump
when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it,
let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to
this code in the first place; without that, it is not
obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat()
code path entirely.

Alternate refs backends might store reflogs somewhere other than
.git/logs. Change most test code that directly accesses .git/logs to
instead use git reflog commands.
There are still a few tests which need direct access to reflogs: to
check reflog permissions, to manually create reflogs from scratch, to
save/restore reflogs, to check the format of raw reflog data, and to
remove not just reflog contents, but the reflogs themselves. All cases
which don't need direct access have been modified.

When a reflog is deleted, e.g. when "git stash" clears its stashes,
"git rev-parse --verify --quiet" dies:
fatal: Log for refs/stash is empty.
The reason is that the get_sha1() code path does not allow us
to suppress this message.
Pass the flags bitfield through get_sha1_with_context() so that
read_ref_at() can suppress the message.
Use get_sha1_with_context1() instead of get_sha1() in rev-parse
so that the --quiet flag is honored.

On systems which have dash as /bin/sh, such as Ubuntu, the final
test (master@{n} for various n) fails with a syntax error while
processing an arithmetic expansion. The syntax error is caused by
using a bare name ('N') as a variable reference in the expression.
In order to avoid the syntax error, we spell the variable reference
as '$N' rather than simply 'N'.

Some tests in maint-reflog-beyond-horizon are calling test_must_fail
in such a way that the arguments to test_must_fail do, indeed, fail
but not in the manner expected by the test.
This patch removes the unnecessary and unhelpful double quotes.

This commit introduces tests that verify that rev-parse
parses master@{n} correctly for various values of n less
than, equal to and greater than the number of revisions
in the reference log.
In particular, these tests check that rev-parse exits with a
non-zero status code and prints a message of the
following form to stderr.
fatal: Log for [^ ]* only has [0-9][0-9]* entries.

Before this patch, when "git rev-parse --verify" was passed at least one
good rev and then anything, it would output something for the good rev
even if it would latter exit on error.
With this patch, we only output something if everything is ok.

Before this patch, something like:
$ git rev-parse --verify HEAD --default master
did not work, while:
$ git rev-parse --default master --verify HEAD
worked.
This patch fixes that, so that they both work (assuming
HEAD and master can be parsed).

This patch documents the current behavior of "git rev-parse --verify".
This command is tested both with and without the "--quiet" and
"--default" options.
This shows some problems with the current behavior that will be fixed
in latter patches:
- in case of errors, there should be no good rev output on
stdout,
- with "--default" one test case is broken
