0f2d4476c1 revert: actually check for a dirty index
The previous code mistakenly used wt_status_prepare to check whether the
index had anything commitable in it; however, that function is just an
init function, and will never report a dirty index.

The correct way with wt_status_* would be to call wt_status_print with the
output pointing to /dev/null or similar. However, that does extra work by
both examining the working tree and spewing status information to nowhere.

Instead, let's just implement the useful subset of wt_status_print as an
"is_index_dirty" function.

90d0ed96b7 tests: introduce test_must_fail
When we expect a git command to notice and signal errors, we
carelessly wrote in our tests:

    test_expect_success 'reject bogus request' '
        do something &&
        do something else &&
        ! git command
    '

but a non-zero exit could come from the "git command" segfaulting.

A new helper function "tset_must_fail" is introduced and it is
meant to be used to make sure the command gracefully fails (iow,
dying and exiting with non zero status is counted as a failure
to "gracefully fail").  The above example should be written as:

    test_expect_success 'reject bogus request' '
        do something &&
        do something else &&
        test_must_fail git command
    '

9fc6440d78 Set proxy override with http_init()
In transport.c, proxy setting (the one from the remote conf) was set through
curl_easy_setopt() call, while http.c already does the same with the
http.proxy setting. We now just use this infrastructure instead, and make
http_init() now take the struct remote as argument so that it can take the
http_proxy setting from there, and any other property that would be added
later.

At the same time, we make get_http_walker() take a struct remote argument
too, and pass it to http_init(), which makes remote defined proxy be used
for more than get_refs_via_curl().

We leave out http-fetch and http-push, which don't use remotes for the
moment, purposefully.

0f497e75f0 Eliminate confusing "won't bisect on seeked tree" failure
This error message is very confusing---it doesn't tell the user
anything about how to fix the situation. And the actual fix
for the situation ("git bisect reset") does a checkout of a
potentially random branch, (compared to what the user wants to
be on for the bisect she is starting).

The simplest way to eliminate the confusion is to just make
"git bisect start" do the cleanup itself. There's no significant
loss of safety here since we already have a general safety in
the form of the reflog.

Note: We preserve the warning for any cogito users. We do this
by switching from .git/head-name to .git/BISECT_START for the
extra state, (which is a more descriptive name anyway).

9ea0980a09 hash: fix lookup_hash semantics
We were returning the _address of_ the stored item (or NULL)
instead of the item itself. While this sort of indirection
is useful for insertion (since you can lookup and then
modify), it is unnecessary for read-only lookup. Since the
hash code splits these functions between the internal
lookup_hash_entry function and the public lookup_hash
function, it makes sense for the latter to provide what
users of the library expect.

The result of this was that the index caching returned bogus
results on lookup. We unfortunately didn't catch this
because we were returning a "struct cache_entry **" as a
"void *", and accidentally assigning it to a "struct
cache_entry *".

As it happens, this actually _worked_ most of the time,
because the entries were defined as:

  struct cache_entry {
	  struct cache_entry *next;
	  ...
  };

meaning that interpreting a "struct cache_entry **" as a
"struct cache_entry *" would yield an entry where all fields
were totally bogus _except_ for the next pointer, which
pointed to the actual cache entry. When walking the list, we
would look at the bogus "name" field, which was unlikely to
match our lookup, and then proceed to the "real" entry.

The reading of bogus data was silently ignored most of the
time, but could cause a segfault for some data (which seems
to be more common on OS X).

df4ec4cf6f git-gui: Avoid hardcoded Windows paths in Cygwin package files
When we are being built by the Cygwin package maintainers we need to
embed the POSIX path to our library files and not the Windows path.
Embedding the Windows path means all end-users who install our Cygwin
package would be required to install Cygwin at the same Windows path
as the package maintainer had Cygwin installed to.  This requirement
is simply not user-friendly and may be infeasible for a large number
of our users.

We now try to auto-detect if the Tcl/Tk binary we will use at runtime
is capable of translating POSIX paths into Windows paths the same way
that cygpath does the translations.  If the Tcl/Tk binary gives us the
same results then it understands the Cygwin path translation process
and should be able to read our library files from a POSIX path name.

If it does not give us the same answer as cygpath then the Tcl/Tk
binary might actually be a native Win32 build (one that is not
linked against Cygwin) and thus requires the native Windows path
to our library files.  We can assume this is not a Cygwin package
as the Cygwin maintainers do not currently ship a pure Win32 build
of Tcl/Tk.

651fbba2d3 git-gui: Default TCL_PATH to same location as TCLTK_PATH
Most users set TCLTK_PATH to tell git-gui where to find wish, but they
fail to set TCL_PATH to the same Tcl installation.  We use the non-GUI
tclsh during builds so headless systems are still able to create an
index file and create message files without GNU msgfmt.  So it matters
to us that we find a working TCL_PATH at build time.

If TCL_PATH hasn't been set yet we can take a better guess about what
tclsh executable to use by replacing 'wish' in the executable path with
'tclsh'.  We only do this replacement on the filename part of the path,
just in case the string "wish" appears in the directory paths.  Most of
the time the tclsh will be installed alongside wish so this replacement
is a sensible and safe default.

fef3a7cc55 cvsexportcommit: be graceful when "cvs status" reorders the arguments
In my use cases, "cvs status" sometimes reordered the passed filenames,
which often led to a misdetection of a dirty state (when it was in
reality a clean state).

I finally tracked it down to two filenames having the same basename.

So no longer trust the order of the results blindly, but actually check
the file name.

Since "cvs status" only returns the basename (and the complete path on the
server which is useless for our purposes), run "cvs status" several times
with lists consisting of files with unique (chomped) basenames.

Be a bit clever about new files: these are reported as "no file <blabla>",
so in order to discern it from existing files, prepend "no file " to the
basename.

In other words, one call to "cvs status" will not ask for two files
"blabla" (which does not yet exist) and "no file blabla" (which exists).

This patch makes cvsexportcommit slightly slower, when the list of changed
files has non-unique basenames, but at least it is accurate now.

7c33d3a511 Rename git-core rpm to just git and rename the meta-pacakge to git-all.
This fixes my favorite annoyance with the git rpm packaging: don't pull
in tla when I say yum install git!  You wouldn't expect yum install gcc
to pull in gcc-gfortran, right?

With this change, and blanket 'yum update' will automatically pull in the
new 'git' package and push out the old 'git-core', and if the old 'git'
package was installed 'git-all' will be pulled in instead.  A couple of
things do break though: 'yum update git-core', because yum behaves
differently when given a specific package name - it doesn't follow obsoletes.

Instead, 'yum install git' will pull in the new git rpm, which will then
push out the old 'git-core'.  Similarly, to get the newest version of
the meta package, 'yum install git-all' will install git-all, which then
pushes out the old 'git' meta package.

066a5268db push: document the status output
The output was meant to be a balance of self-explanatory and
terse. In case we have erred too far on the terse side, it
doesn't hurt to explain in more detail what each line means.

68d06c5200 Documentation/push: clarify matching refspec behavior
The previous text was correct, but it was easy to miss the
fact that we are talking about "matching" refs. That is, the
text can be parsed as "we push the union of the sets
of remote and local heads" and not "we push the intersection
of the sets of remote and local heads". (The former actually
doesn't make sense if you think about it, since we don't
even _have_ some of those heads). A careful reading would
reveal the correct meaning, but it makes sense to be as
explicit as possible in documentation.

We also explicitly use and introduce the term "matching";
this is a term discussed on the list, and it seems useful
to for users to be able to refer to this behavior by name.
