In commit 07e7dbf0d (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11),
the default aggressive depth of git-gc has been changed to 50. While
git-config(1) has been updated to represent the new default value,
git-gc(1) still mentions the old value. This patch fixes it.

The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that
come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed
anything to pass. It also downcased everything in the variable name,
even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which
the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner.
Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable
name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL",
and handles these details correctly. Replace the strbuf_tolower()
call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct
both issues. git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are
not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a
separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it
takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical
codepath here.

git_config_parse_key() implements the validation and downcasing of
<section> and <variable> in "<section>[.<subsection>].<variable>"
configuration variable name. Move it (and helpers it uses) a bit up
so that it can be used by git_config_parse_parameter(), which is
used to check configuration settings that are given on the command
line (i.e. "git -c VAR=VAL cmd"), in a later patch.

When we read user.name and user.email from a config file,
they go into strbufs. When a caller asks ident_default_name()
for the value, we fallback to auto-detecting if the strbuf
is empty.
That means that explicitly setting an empty string in the
config is identical to not setting it at all. This is
potentially confusing, as we usually accept a configured
value as the final value.

An ident name consisting of only "crud" characters (like
whitespace or punctuation) is effectively the same as an
empty one, because our strbuf_addstr_without_crud() will
remove those characters.
We reject an empty name when formatting a strict ident, but
don't notice an all-crud one because our check happens
before the crud-removal step.
We could skip past the crud before checking for an empty
name, but let's make it a separate code path, for two
reasons. One is that we can give a more specific error
message. And two is that unlike a blank name, we probably
don't want to kick in the fallback-to-username behavior.

If we see an empty name, we complain about and mention the
matching email in the error message (to give it some
context). However, the "email" pointer may be NULL here if
we were planning to fill it in later from ident_default_email().
This was broken by 59f929596 (fmt_ident: refactor strictness
checks, 2016-02-04). Prior to that commit, we would look up
the default name and email before doing any other actions.
So one solution would be to go back to that.
However, we can't just do so blindly. The logic for handling
the "!email" condition has grown since then. In particular,
looking up the default email can die if getpwuid() fails,
but there are other errors that should take precedence.
Commit 734c7789a (ident: check for useConfigOnly before
auto-detection of name/email, 2016-03-30) reordered the
checks so that we prefer the error message for
useConfigOnly.
Instead, we can observe that while the name-handling depends
on "email" being set, the reverse is not true. So we can
simply set up the email variable first.
This does mean that if both are bogus, we'll complain about
the email before the name. But between the two, there is no
reason to prefer one over the other.

It is not all too unusual for a branch to use "branch.<name>.remote"
without "branch.<name>.merge". You may be using the 'push.default'
configuration set to 'current', for example, and do
$ git checkout -b side colleague/side
$ git config branch.side.remote colleague
However, "git remote rm" to remove the remote used in such a manner
fails with
"fatal: could not unset 'branch.<name>.merge'"
because it assumes that a branch that has .remote defined must also
have .merge defined. Detect the "cannot unset because it is not set
to begin with" case and ignore it.

Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log
and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in
the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and
new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents
the deletion only (the new sha1 is null).
Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is
branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the
creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result,
the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a
creation entry) in HEAD's log.
It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now
represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the
renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more
accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for
debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and
creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the
two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is
carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for
deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

When the current branch is renamed, the deletion of the old ref is
recorded in HEAD's log with an empty message. Now that delete_ref()
accepts a reflog message, provide a more descriptive message by
passing along the log message that is given to rename_ref().
The next step will be to extend HEAD's log to also include the second
part of the rename, the creation of the new branch.

When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a
message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete().
Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no
change in behavior is intended.
Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING
is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by
split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

In close_tempfile(), we return an error if ferror()
indicated a previous failure, or if fclose() failed. In the
latter case, errno is set and it is useful for callers to
report it.
However, if _only_ ferror() triggers, then the value of
errno is based on whatever syscall happened to last fail,
which may not be related to our filehandle at all. A caller
cannot tell the difference between the two cases, and may
use "die_errno()" or similar to report a nonsense errno value.
One solution would be to actually pass back separate return
values for the two cases, so a caller can write a more
appropriate message for each case. But that makes the
interface clunky.
Instead, let's just set errno to the generic EIO in this case.
That's not as descriptive as we'd like, but at least it's
predictable. So it's better than the status quo in all cases
but one: when the last syscall really did involve a failure
on our filehandle, we'll be wiping that out. But that's a
fragile thing for us to rely on.
In any case, we'll let the errno result from fclose() take
precedence over our value, as we know that's recent and
accurate (and many I/O errors will persist through the
fclose anyway).

In addition to making git_path() aware of certain file names that need
to be handled differently e.g. when running in worktrees, the commit
557bd833bb (git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR,
2014-11-30) also snuck in a new option for `git rev-parse`:
`--git-path`.
On the face of it, there is no obvious bug in that commit's diff: it
faithfully calls git_path() on the argument and prints it out, i.e. `git
rev-parse --git-path <filename>` has the same precise behavior as
calling `git_path("<filename>")` in C.
The problem lies deeper, much deeper. In hindsight (which is always
unfair), implementing the .git/ directory discovery in
`setup_git_directory()` by changing the working directory may have
allowed us to avoid passing around a struct that contains information
about the current repository, but it bought us many, many problems.
In this case, when being called in a subdirectory, `git rev-parse`
changes the working directory to the top-level directory before calling
`git_path()`. In the new working directory, the result is correct. But
in the working directory of the calling script, it is incorrect.
Example: when calling `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` in, say, the
Documentation/ subdirectory of Git's own source code, the string
`.git/HEAD` is printed.
Side note: that bug is hidden when running in a subdirectory of a
worktree that was added by the `git worktree` command: in that case, the
(correct) absolute path of the `HEAD` file is printed.
In the interest of time, this patch does not go the "correct" route to
introduce a struct with repository information (and removing global
state in the process), instead this patch chooses to detect when the
command was called in a subdirectory and forces the result to be an
absolute path.
While at it, we are also fixing the output of --git-common-dir and
--shared-index-path.
Lastly, please note that we reuse the same strbuf for all of the
relative_path() calls; this avoids frequent allocation (and duplicated
code), and it does not risk memory leaks, for two reasons: 1) the
cmd_rev_parse() function does not return anywhere between the use of
the new strbuf instance and its final release, and 2) git-rev-parse is
one of these "one-shot" programs in Git, i.e. it exits after running
for a very short time, meaning that all allocated memory is released
with the exit() call anyway.

Some of the tests added have been marked to expect failure. These
demonstrate a problem with the way that some options to git rev-parse
behave when executed from a subdirectory of the main worktree.
[jes: fixed incorrect assumption that objects/ lives in the
