Git-P4 used to place temporary refs under "git-p4-tmp". Since 3da1f37
Git checks that all refs are placed under "refs". Instruct Git-P4 to
place temporary refs under "refs/git-p4-tmp". There are no backwards
compatibility considerations as these refs are transient.
Use "git show-ref --verify" to check the (non-)existience of the refs
instead of file checks assuming the file-based ref backend.
All refs under "refs" are shared across all worktrees. This is not
desired for temporary Git-P4 refs and will be adressed in a later patch.

Since 47f0b6d5 (Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.,
2005-10-06), i.e. for almost 11 years already, we used a male form
to describe "the other tree".
While it was unintended, this gave the erroneous impression as if
the Git developers thought of users as male, and were unaware of the
important role in software development played by female actors such
as Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton. In fact, the
first professional software developers were all female.
Let's change those unfortunate references to the gender neutral
"their tree". Doing so also makes the fallback_merge_recursive(),
which is an oddball, more in line with the other parts of the system
where we contrast what we have vs what we obtain from others by
saying "ours" vs "theirs". This inconsistency was also unintended.

The helper function tries to offer a way to conveniently show the
last one differently from others, presumably to allow you to say
something like
A, B, and C.
while iterating over a list that has these three elements.
However, there is only one caller, and it passes the same format
string "%s\n" for both the last one and the other ones. Retire the
helper function and update the caller with a simplified version.

We take a printf-style format and a single "char *"

-Wformat-nonliteral), this is unnecessarily restrictive. We
can just provide the usual varargs interface.

If we already have a strbuf, then using write_file_buf is a
little nicer to read (no wondering whether "%s" will eat
your NULs), and it's more efficient (no extra formatting
step).
We don't care about the newline magic of write_file(), as we
have our own multi-line content.

There are several places where we open a file, write some

This gives us compile-time checking of our format strings,
which is a good thing.
I had also hoped it would help with confusing write_file()
and write_file_buf(), since the former's "..." can make it
match the signature of the latter. But given that the buffer
for write_file_buf() is generally not a string literal, the
compiler won't complain unless -Wformat-nonliteral is on,
and that creates a ton of false positives elsewhere in the
code base.
While we're there, let's also give the function a docstring,
which it never had.

There are many callsites which could use write_file, but for
which it is a little awkward because they have a strbuf or
other pointer/len combo. Specifically:
1. write_file() takes a format string, so we have to use
"%s" or "%.*s", which are ugly.
2. Using any form of "%s" does not handle embedded NULs in
the output. That probably doesn't matter for our
call-sites, but it's nicer not to have to worry.
3. It's less efficient; we format into another strbuf
just to do the write. That's probably not measurably
slow for our uses, but it's simply inelegant.
We can fix this by providing a helper to write out the
formatted buffer, and just calling it from write_file().
Note that we don't do the usual "complete with a newline"
that write_file does. If the caller has their own buffer,
there's a reasonable chance they're doing something more
complicated than a single line, and they can call
strbuf_complete_line() themselves.
We could go even further and add strbuf_write_file(), but it
doesn't save much:
- write_file_buf(path, sb.buf, sb.len);
+ strbuf_write_file(&sb, path);
It would also be somewhat asymmetric with strbuf_read_file,
which actually returns errors rather than dying (and the
error handling is most of the benefit of write_file() in the
first place).

This simplifies the code a tiny bit, and provides consistent

There are no callers left of write_file_gently(). Let's drop
it, as it doesn't seem likely for new callers to be added
(since its inception, the only callers who wanted the gentle
form generally just died immediately themselves, and have
since been converted).
While we're there, let's also drop the "int" return from
write_file, as it is never meaningful (in the non-gentle
form, we always either die or return 0).

We use write_file_gently() to do this job currently.
However, if we see an error, we simply complain via
error_errno() and then end up exiting with an error code.
By switching to the non-gentle form, the function will die
for us, with a better error. It is more specific about which
syscall caused the error, and that mentions the
actual filename we're trying to write.
Our exit code for the error case does switch from "1" to
"128", but that's OK; it wasn't a meaningful documented code
(and in fact it was odd that it was a different exit code
than most other error conditions).

write_file() either returns 0 or dies, so there is no point in checking
its return value. The callers of the wrappers write_state_text(),
write_state_count() and write_state_bool() consequently already ignore
their return values. Stop pretending we care and make them void.

Since 9830534 (config --global --edit: create a template
file if needed, 2014-07-25), an edit of the global config
file will try to open() it with O_EXCL, and wants to handle
three cases:
1. We succeeded; the user has no config file, and we
should fill in the default template.
2. We got EEXIST; they have a file already, proceed as usual.
3. We got another error; we should complain.
However, the check for case 1 does "if (fd)", which will
generally _always_ be true (except for the oddball case that
somehow our stdin got closed and opening really did give us
a new descriptor 0).
So in the EEXIST case, we tried to write the default config
anyway! Fortunately, this turns out to be a noop, since we
just end up writing to and closing "-1", which does nothing.
But in case 3, we would fail to notice any other errors, and
just silently continue (given that we don't actually notice
write errors for the template either, it's probably not that
big a deal; we're about to spawn the editor, so it would
notice any problems. But the code is clearly _trying_ to hit
cover this case and failing).
We can fix it easily by using "fd >= 0" for case 1.
