The config parsing routines use the static global
'config_file' to store the FILE* pointing to the current
config file being parsed. The function get_next_char()
automatically converts an EOF on this file to a newline for
the convenience of its callers, and it sets config_file to
NULL to indicate that EOF was reached.

This throws away useful information, though, since some
routines want to call ftell on 'config_file' to find out
exactly _where_ the routine ended. In the case of a key
ending at EOF boundary, we ended up segfaulting in some
cases (changing that key or adding another key in its
section), or failing to provide the necessary newline
(adding a new section).

This patch adds a new flag to indicate EOF and uses that
instead of setting config_file to NULL. It also makes sure
to add newlines where necessary for truncated input. All
three included tests fail without the patch.

After replaying a single change, the code performed a number of checks,
but some of them were for sanity checking, failures from which should
make the command abort, and others were checks to see if it should make
a new commit object.  Stringing them together with "&&" was wrong.

The commit message template when squashing multiple commits is
prepared by concatenating the messages of existing commits
together.  If the messages from some of them end with incomplete
lines, this would result in a suboptimal message template.  Make
sure that we add a terminating LF after each commit message.

When "git pull --tags" is run without any other arguments, the
standard error message "You told me to fetch and merge stuff but
there is nothing to merge!  You might want to fix your config"
is given.

While the error may be technically correct, fixing the config
would not help, as "git pull --tags" itself tells "git fetch"
not to use the configured refspecs.

This commit makes "git pull --tags" to issue a different error
message to avoid confusion.  This is merely an interim solution.

In the longer term, it would be a better approach to change the
semantics of --tags option to make "git fetch" and "git pull"
to:

 (1) behave as if no --tags was given (so an explicit refspec on
     the command line overrides configured ones, or no explicit
     refspecs on the command line takes configured ones); but

 (2) no auto-following of tags is made even when using
     configured refspecs; and

 (3) fetch all tags as not-for-merge entries".

Then we would not need to have this separate error message, as
the ordinary merge will happen even with the --tags option.

This moves the logic to quote two paths (prefix + path) in

Earlier when showing combined diff, the filenames on the ---/+++
header lines were quoted incorrectly.  a/ (or b/) prefix was
output literally and then the path was output, with c-quoting.

This fixes the quoting logic, and while at it, adjusts the code
to use the customizable prefix (a_prefix and b_prefix)
introduced recently.

If a config file has become mildly corrupted due to a missing LF
we may discover some other option joined up against the end of a
numeric value.  For example:

	[section]
	number = 1auto

where the "auto" flag was meant to occur on the next line, below
"number", but the missing LF has caused it to no longer be its
own option.  Instead the word "auto" is parsed as a 'unit factor'
for the value of "number".

Before this change we got the confusing error message:

  fatal: unknown unit: 'auto'

which told us nothing about where the problem appeared.  Now we get:

  fatal: bad config value for 'aninvalid.unit'

which at least points the user in the right direction of where to
search for the incorrectly formatted configuration file.

Noticed by erikh on #git, which received the original error from
a simple `git checkout -b` due to a midly corrupted config.

Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing
whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message,
sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it.

For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with
"#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible
if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell
script including its comments for future reference.

The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The
default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either
strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the
whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

The tar-ball and the git archive itself is fine, but yes, the diff from
2.6.23 to 2.6.24-rc6 is bad. It's the "trim_common_tail()" optimization
that has caused way too much pain.

Very interesting breakage. The patch was actually "correct" in a (rather
limited) technical sense, but the context at the end was missing because
while the trim_common_tail() code made sure to keep enough common context
to allow a valid diff to be generated, the diff machinery itself could
decide that it could generate the diff differently than the "obvious"
solution.

Thee sad fact is that the git optimization (which is very important for
"git blame", which needs no context), is only really valid for that one
case where we really don't need any context.

[jc: since this is shared with "git diff -U0" codepath, context recovery
to the end of line needs to be done even for zero context case.]
