Update "remote tracking branch" in the documentation to
"remote-tracking branch".

* mm/maint-doc-remote-tracking:
  Documentation: remote tracking branch -> remote-tracking branch

A symbolic ref refs/heads/SYM was not correctly removed with "git
branch -d SYM"; the command removed the ref pointed by SYM instead.

* rs/branch-del-symref:
  branch: show targets of deleted symrefs, not sha1s
  branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branches
  branch: delete symref branch, not its target
  branch: factor out delete_branch_config()
  branch: factor out check_branch_commit()

"git grep -e pattern <tree>" asked the attribute system to read
"<tree>:.gitattributes" file in the working tree, which was
nonsense.

* nd/grep-true-path:
  grep: stop looking at random places for .gitattributes

"git log -F -E --grep='<ere>'" failed to use the given <ere>
pattern as extended regular expression, and instead looked for the
string literally.

* 'jc/grep-pcre-loose-ends' (early part):
  log --grep: use the same helper to set -E/-F options as "git grep"
  revisions: initialize revs->grep_filter using grep_init()
  grep: move pattern-type bits support to top-level grep.[ch]
  grep: move the configuration parsing logic to grep.[ch]
  builtin/grep.c: make configuration callback more reusable

"git mergetool" feeds /dev/null as a common ancestor when dealing
with an add/add conflict, but p4merge backend cannot handle it. Work
it around by passing a temporary empty file.

* da/mergetools-p4:
  mergetools/p4merge: Handle "/dev/null"

The "say" function in the test scaffolding incorrectly allowed
"echo" to interpret "\a" as if it were a C-string asking for a BEL
output.

* jc/test-say-color-avoid-echo-escape:
  test-lib: Fix say_color () not to interpret \a\b\c in the message

The configuration parser had an unnecessary hardcoded limit on
variable names that was not checked consistently.

* bw/config-lift-variable-name-length-limit:
  Remove the hard coded length limit on variable names in config files

This change was already done by 0e615b25 (Matthieu Moy, Tue Nov 2
2010, Replace "remote tracking" with "remote-tracking"), but new
instances of remote tracking (without dash) were introduced in the
meantime.

git branch reports the abbreviated hash of the head commit of
a deleted branch to make it easier for a user to undo the
operation.  For symref branches this doesn't help.  Print the
symref target instead for them.

Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid
commit.  With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this
check is not done with -D.

The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should
never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better
to stop instead of adding to the mess.  And a non-merged commit
may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the
stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them.

If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply.
Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced,
so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is
actually a valid commit.  Skip them in that case.  This allows
us to delete dangling symref branches.

If a branch that is to be deleted happens to be a symref to another
branch, the current code removes the targeted branch instead of the
one it was called for.

Change this surprising behaviour and delete the symref branch
instead.

When argument parsing fails to detect a file name, "git-gui" will try to
use the previously detected "head" as the file name. We should avoid
prepending the prefix if "head" looks like a full path.

When running "git-gui blame" from a subfolder (which means prefix is
non-empty), if we pass a full path as argument, the argument parsing
will fail to recognize the argument as a file name, because prefix is
prepended to the argument.

This patch handles that scenario by adding an additional branch that
checks the file name without using the prefix.
