764046f6b0 Merge branch 'jk/gc-pre-detach-under-hook'
We run an early part of "git gc" that deals with refs before
daemonising (and not under lock) even when running a background
auto-gc, which caused multiple gc processes attempting to run the
early part at the same time.  This is now prevented by running the
early part also under the GC lock.

33400c0e96 Merge branch 'tb/push-to-cygwin-unc-path'
On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
slashes at the beginning.

This may need to be heavily tested before it gets unleashed to the
wild, as the change is at a fairly low-level code and would affect
not just the code to decide if the push destination is local.  There
may be unexpected fallouts in the path normalization.

512f41cfac clean.c: use designated initializer
This is another test balloon to see if we get complaints from people
whose compilers do not support designated initializer for arrays.

The use of the feature is not all that interesting for cases like
the one this patch touches, where the initialized elements of the
array is dense, but it would be nice if we can use the feature to
initialize an array that has elements initialized to interesting
values only sparsely.

bc17f35f8c commit: check for empty message before the check for untouched template
The check for whether the template given to 'git commit' is untouched
is done before the empty message check. This results in a wrong error
message being displayed in the following case. When the user removes
everything in template completely to abort the commit he is shown the
"template untouched" error which is wrong. He should be shown the
"empty message" error.

Do the empty message check before checking for an untouched template
thus fixing this issue.

5fdacc17c7 rebase: make resolve message clearer for inexperienced users
The git UI can be improved by addressing the error messages to those
they help: inexperienced and casual git users. To this intent, it is
helpful to make sure the terms used in those messages can be understood
by this segment of users, and that they guide them to resolve the
problem.

In particular, failure to apply a patch during a git rebase is a common
problem that can be very destabilizing for the inexperienced user. It is
important to lead them toward the resolution of the conflict (which is a
3-steps process, thus complex) and reassure them that they can escape a
situation they can't handle with "--abort". This commit answer those two
points by detailling the resolution process and by avoiding cryptic git
linguo.

268ba20110 dir: support platforms that require aligned reads
The untracked cache is stored on disk by concatenating its memory
structures without any padding.  Consequently some of the structs are
not aligned at a particular boundary when the whole extension is read
back in one go.  That's only OK on platforms without strict alignment
requirements, or for byte-aligned data like strings or hash values.

Decode struct ondisk_untracked_cache carefully from the extension
blob by using explicit pointer arithmetic with offsets, avoiding
alignment issues.  Use char pointers for passing stat_data objects to
stat_data_from_disk(), and use memcpy(3) in that function to  get the
contents into a properly aligned struct, then perform the byte-order
adjustment in place there.

Simplify the code by using the helper macros COPY_ARRAY and MOVE_ARRAY,

f331ab9d4c use MOVE_ARRAY
Simplify the code for moving members inside of an array and make it more
robust by using the helper macro MOVE_ARRAY.  It calculates the size
based on the specified number of elements for us and supports NULL
pointers when that number is zero.  Raw memmove(3) calls with NULL can
cause the compiler to (over-eagerly) optimize out later NULL checks.

This patch was generated with contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci and spatch

578398071e add MOVE_ARRAY
Similar to COPY_ARRAY (introduced in 60566cbb58), add a safe and
convenient helper for moving potentially overlapping ranges of array
entries.  It infers the element size, multiplies automatically and
safely to get the size in bytes, does a basic type safety check by
comparing element sizes and unlike memmove(3) it supports NULL
pointers iff 0 elements are to be moved.

Also add a semantic patch to demonstrate the helper's intended usage.

cbc0f81d96 strbuf: use designated initializers in STRBUF_INIT
There are certain C99 features that might be nice to use in
our code base, but we've hesitated to do so in order to
avoid breaking compatibility with older compilers. But we
don't actually know if people are even using pre-C99
compilers these days.

One way to figure that out is to introduce a very small use
of a feature, and see if anybody complains. The strbuf code
is a good place to do this for a few reasons:

  - it always gets compiled, no matter which Makefile knobs
    have been tweaked.

  - it's very stable; this definition hasn't changed in a
    long time and is not likely to (so if we have to revert,
    it's unlikely to cause headaches)

If this patch can survive a few releases without complaint,
then we can feel more confident that designated initializers
are widely supported by our user base.  It also is an
indication that other C99 features may be supported, but not
a guarantee (e.g., gcc had designated initializers before
C99 existed).

And if we do get complaints, then we'll have gained some
data and we can easily revert this patch.

11b087adfd ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors
When color placeholders like %(color:red) are used in a
ref-filter format, we unconditionally output the colors,
even if the user has asked us for no colors. This usually
isn't a problem when the user is constructing a --format on
the command line, but it means we may do the wrong thing
when the format is fed from a script or alias. For example:

   $ git config alias.b 'branch --format=%(color:green)%(refname)'
   $ git b --no-color

should probably omit the green color. Likewise, running:

   $ git b >branches

should probably also omit the color, just as we would for
all baked-in coloring (and as we recently started to do for
user-specified colors in --pretty formats).

This commit makes both of those cases work by teaching
the ref-filter code to consult want_color() before
outputting any color. The color flag in ref_format defaults
to "-1", which means we'll consult color.ui, which in turn
defaults to the usual isatty() check on stdout. However,
callers like git-branch which support their own color config
(and command-line options) can override that.

The new tests independently cover all three of the callers
of ref-filter (for-each-ref, tag, and branch). Even though
these seem redundant, it confirms that we've correctly
plumbed through all of the necessary config to make colors
work by default.

18fb7ffc3d pretty: respect color settings for %C placeholders
The color placeholders have traditionally been
unconditional, showing colors even when git is not otherwise
configured to do so. This was not so bad for their original
use, which was on the command-line (and the user could
decide at that moment whether to add colors or not). But
these days we have configured formats via pretty.*, and
those should operate correctly in multiple contexts.

In 3082517 (log --format: teach %C(auto,black) to respect
color config, 2012-12-17), we gave an extended placeholder
that could be used to accomplish this. But it's rather
clunky to use, because you have to specify it individually
for each color (and their matching resets) in the format.
We shied away from just switching the default to auto,
because it is technically breaking backwards compatibility.

However, there's not really a use case for unconditional
colors. The most plausible reason you would want them is to
redirect "git log" output to a file. But there, the right
answer is --color=always, as it does the right thing both
with custom user-format colors and git-generated colors.

So let's switch to the more useful default. In the
off-chance that somebody really does find a use for
unconditional colors without wanting to enable the rest of
git's colors, we provide a new %C(always,...) to enable the
old behavior. And we can remind them of --color=always in
the documentation.

d75dfb1089 rev-list: pass diffopt->use_colors through to pretty-print
When rev-list pretty-prints a commit, it creates a new
pretty_print_context and copies items from the rev_info
struct. We don't currently copy the "use_color" field,
though. Nobody seems to have noticed because the only part
of pretty.c that cares is the %C(auto,...) placeholder, and
presumably not many people use that with the rev-list
plumbing (as opposed to with git-log).

It will become more noticeable in a future patch, though,
when we start treating all user-format colors as auto-colors
(in which case it would become impossible to format colors
with rev-list, even with --color=always).
