Using Linus' --trivial option, this handles really trivial case
inside git-merge itself, without using any strategy modules.
A 'really trivial case' is:
- we are merging one branch into the current branch;
- there is only one merge base between the branches;
- there is no file-level merge required.

This makes "git-update-index" avoid the new index file write if it didn't
make any changes to the index.
It still doesn't make things like "git status" be read-only operations in
general, but if the index file doesn't need refreshing, it now will at
least avoid making unnecessary changes.

Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the
"git-update-index" call, make it exit if it fails, and show the error.
In order to do this, use the "-q" flag (to ignore not-up-to-date files)
and add a new "--unmerged" flag that allows unmerged entries in the index
without any errors.
This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually
modified, and makes sure that we exit with an understandable error message
if the index is corrupt or unreadable. "read_cache()" no longer returns an
error for the caller to check.
Finally, make die() and usage() exit with recognizable error codes, if we
ever want to check the failure reason in scripts.

This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.
The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

Symbolic refs are understood by resolve_ref(), so existing read_ref()
users will automatically understand them as well.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junio@twinsun.com>
This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file
that starts with "ref: " and points to another ref file, and thus
introduces the notion of ref aliases.
This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink,
but one of these symbolic refs instead.
[jc: Linus originally required the prefix to be "ref: " five bytes
and nothing else, but I changed it to allow and strip any number of
leading whitespaces to match what update-ref.c does.]

A symbolic ref is a regular file whose contents is "ref:", followed by
optional leading whitespaces, followed by a GIT_DIR relative pathname,
followed by optional trailing whitespaces (the optional whitespaces
are unconditionally removed, so you cannot have leading nor trailing
whitespaces). This can be used in place of a traditional symbolic
link .git/HEAD that usually points at "refs/heads/master". You can
instead have a regular file .git/HEAD whose contents is
"ref: refs/heads/master".
[jc: currently the code does not enforce the symbolic ref to begin with
refs/, unlike the symbolic link case. It may be worthwhile to require
either case to begin with refs/ and not have any /./ nor /../ in them.]

A patch that contains no actual diff, and that doesn't change any
meta-data is bad. It shouldn't be a patch at all, and git-apply shouldn't
just accept it.
This caused a corrupted patch to be silently applied as an empty change in
the kernel, because the corruption ended up making the patch look empty.
An example of such a patch is one that contains the patch header, but
where the initial fragment header (the "@@ -nr,.." line) is missing,
causing us to not parse any fragments.
The real "patch" program will also flag such patches as bad, with the
message
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

This again makes git-pull to use git-merge, so that different merge
strategy can be specified from the command line. Without explicit
strategy parameter, it defaults to git-merge-resolve if only one
remote is pulled, and git-merge-octopus otherwise, to keep the
default behaviour of the command the same as the original.
Also this brings another usability measure: -n flag from the command
line, if given, is passed to git-merge to prevent it from running the
diffstat at the end of the merge.
