Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works
when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused
when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create
the branch foo.

This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/
in front of the desired branch name to create a branch.

Kristian Høgsberg pointed out that the two file modifications
we were doing during the 'creating initial files' step are not even
used within the test suite.  This was actually confusing as we do
not even need these changes for the tests to pass.  All that really
matters here is the specific commit dates are used so that these
appear in the branch's reflog, and that the dates are different so
that the branch will update when asked and the reflog entry is
also updated.  There is no need for the file modification.

Recently I found that doing a sequence like the following:

  git-new-workdir a b
  ...
  git-new-workdir a b

by accident will cause a (and now also b) to have an infinite cycle
in its refs directory.  This is caused by git-new-workdir trying
to create the "refs" symlink over again, only during the second
time it is being created within a's refs directory and is now also
pointing back at a's refs.

This causes confusion in git as suddenly branches are named things
like "refs/refs/refs/refs/refs/refs/refs/heads/foo" instead of the
more commonly accepted "refs/heads/foo".  Plenty of commands start
to see ambiguous ref names and others just take ages to compute.

git-clone has the same safety check, so git-new-workdir should
behave just like it.

When the preimage we are patching is shorter than what the patch
text expects, we tried to match the buffer contents at the
"original" line with the fragment in full, without checking we
have enough data to match in the preimage.  This caused the size
of a later memmove() to wrap around and attempt to scribble
almost the entire address space.  Not good.

The code that follows the part this patch touches tries to match
the fragment with line offsets.  Curiously, that code does not
have the problem --- it guards against reading past the end of
the preimage.

HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out
that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not

When a topic branch is rebased, some of whose commits are already
cherry-picked upstream:

    o--X--A--B--Y    <- master
     \
      A--B--Z        <- topic

then 'git rebase -m master' would report:

    Already applied: 0001 Y
    Already applied: 0002 Y

With this fix it reports the expected:

    Already applied: 0001 A
    Already applied: 0002 B

As an added bonus, this change also avoids 'echo' of a commit message,
which might contain escapements.

The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea.  It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.

This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.

By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output.  At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user.  In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.

The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

This patch removes certain behaviour of "git tag -l foo", currently
listing every tag name having "foo" as a substring.  The same
thing now could be achieved doing "git tag -l '*foo*'".

This feature was added recently when git-tag.sh got the -n option
for showing tag annotations, because that commit also replaced the
old "grep pattern" behaviour with a more preferable "shell pattern"
behaviour (although slightly modified as you can see).
Thus, the following builtin-tag.c implemented it in order to
ensure that tests were passing unchanged with both programs.

Since common "shell patterns" match names with a given substring
_only_ when * is inserted before and after (as in "*substring*"), and
the "plain" behaviour cannot be achieved easily with the current
implementation, this is mostly the right thing to do, in order to
make it more flexible and consistent.

Tests for "git tag" were also changed to reflect this.

Although dcommit could detect if the first commit in the series
would conflict with the HEAD revision in SVN, it could not
detect conflicts in further commits it made.

Now we rebase each uncommitted change after each revision is
committed to SVN to ensure that we are up-to-date.  git-rebase
will bail out on conflict errors if our next change cannot be
applied and committed to SVN cleanly, preventing accidental
clobbering of changes on the SVN-side.

--no-rebase users will have trouble with this, and are thus
warned if they are committing more than one commit.  Fixing this
for (hopefully uncommon) --no-rebase users would be more complex
and will probably happen at a later date.

Thanks to David Watson for finding this and the original test.

With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits
(such as temporary commits).  It does _not_ undo the changeset
corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision.  IOW
no tree object is changed by this.

If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all
intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can
now do this with

	git filter-branch --commit-filter '
		if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null;
		then
			skip_commit "$@";
		else
			git commit-tree "$@";
		fi' newbranch

Lately I have been doing a lot of calls to `git tag -d` and also to
`git tag -v`.  In both such cases being able to complete the names
of existing tags saves the fingers some typing effort.  We now look
for the -d or -v option to git-tag in the bash completion support
and offer up existing tag names as possible choices for these.

When creating a new tag we now also offer bash completion support
for the second argument to git-tag (the object to be tagged) as this
can often be a specific existing branch name and is not necessarily
the current HEAD.

If the -f option is being used to recreate an existing tag we now
also offer completion support on the existing tag names for the
first argument of git-tag, helping to the user to reselect the
prior tag name that they are trying to replace.

When appending the "git-archimport-id:" line to the end of log entries,
git-archimport would use two blank lines as a separator when there was no
body in the arch log (only a Summary: line), and zero blank lines when there
was a body (making it hard to see the break between the actual log message
and the git-archimport-id: line).

This patch makes git-archimport generate one blank line as a separator in all
cases.
