After a pull that results in a conflicted merge, a new user
often tries another "git pull" in desperation.  When the index
is unmerged, merge backends correctly bail out without touching
either index nor the working tree, so this does not make the
wound any worse.

The user will however see several lines of messsages during this
process, such as "filename: needs merge", "you need to resolve
your current index first", "Merging...", and "Entry ... would be
overwritten by merge. Cannot merge.".  They are unnecessarily
alarming, and cause useful conflict messages from the first pull
scroll off the top of the terminal.

This changes pull and merge to run "git-ls-files -u" upfront and
stop them much earlier than we currently do.  Old timers may
know better and would not to try pulling again before cleaning
things up; this change adds extra overhead that is unnecessary
for them.  But this would be worth paying for to save new people
from needless confusion.

This removes some unnecessary 'svn up' calls throughout

  * removed an 'svn log' call that was leftover from debugging
  * removed multiple git-svn calls with a multi-init / multi-fetch
    combination (which weren't tested before, either)
  * replaced `rev-list ... | head -n1` with `rev-parse ...`

Currently the update hook invoked by receive-pack has its stdin
connected to the pushing client.  The hook shouldn't attempt to
read from this stream, and doing so may consume data that was
meant for receive-pack.  Instead we should give the update hook
/dev/null as its stdin, ensuring that it always receives EOF and
doesn't disrupt the protocol if it attempts to read any data.

The post-update hook is similar, as it gets invoked with /dev/null
on stdin to prevent the hook from reading data from the client.
Previously we had invoked it with stdout also connected to /dev/null,
throwing away anything on stdout, to prevent client protocol errors.
Instead we should redirect stdout to stderr, like we do with the
update hook.

If an update hook outputs to stdout then that output will be sent
back over the wire to the push client as though it were part of
the git protocol.  This tends to cause protocol errors on the
client end of the connection, as the hook output is not expected
in that context.  Most hook developers work around this by making
sure their hook outputs everything to stderr.

But hooks shouldn't need to perform such special behavior.  Instead
we can just dup stderr to stdout prior to invoking the update hook.

The argc parameter is never used by the run_command_v family of
functions.  Instead they require that the passed argv[] be NULL
terminated so they can rely on the operating system's execvp
function to correctly pass the arguments to the new process.

Making the caller pass the argc is just confusing, as the caller
could be mislead into believing that the argc might take precendece
over the argv, or that the argv does not need to be NULL terminated.
So goodbye argc.  Don't come back.

Many users find it unfriendly that they can create a bare git
repository easily with `git clone --bare` but are then unable to
run simple commands like `git log` once they cd into that newly
created bare repository.  This occurs because we do not check to
see if the current working directory is a git repository.

Instead of failing out with "fatal: Not a git repository" we should
try to automatically detect if the current working directory is
a bare repository and use that for GIT_DIR, and fail out only if
that doesn't appear to be true.

We test the current working directory only after we have tried
searching up the directory tree.  This is to retain backwards
compatibility with our previous behavior on the off chance that
a user has a 'refs' and 'objects' subdirectories and a 'HEAD'
file that looks like a symref, all stored within a repository's
associated working directory.

This change also consolidates the validation logic between the case
of GIT_DIR being supplied and GIT_DIR not being supplied, cleaning
up the code.

Many users have noticed that core.filemode doesn't appear to be
automatically set right on Cygwin when using a repository stored
on NTFS.  The issue is that Cygwin and NTFS correctly supports
the executable mode bit, and Git properly detected that, but most
native Windows applications tend to create files such that Cygwin
sees the executable bit set when it probably shouldn't be.

This is especially bad if the user's favorite editor deletes the
file then recreates it whenever they save (vs. just overwriting)
as now a file that was created with mode 0644 by checkout-index
appears to have mode 0755.

So we introduce NO_TRUSTABLE_FILEMODE, settable at compile time.
Setting this option forces core.filemode to false, even if the
detection code would have returned true.  This option should be
enabled by default on Cygwin.

In very obscure cases, a merge can hit an unexpected code path (where the
original code went as far as saying that this was a bug). This failing
merge was noticed by Alexandre Juillard.

The problem is that the original file contains something like this:

-- snip --
two non-empty lines
before two empty lines

after two empty lines
-- snap --

and this snippet is reduced to _one_ empty line in _both_ new files.
However, it is ambiguous as to which hunk takes the empty line: the first
or the second one?

Indeed in Alexandre's example files, the xdiff algorithm attributes the
empty line to the first hunk in one case, and to the second hunk in the
other case.

(Trimming down the example files _changes_ that behaviour!)

Thus, the call to xdl_merge_cmp_lines() has no chance to realize that the
change is actually identical in both new files. Therefore,
xdl_refine_conflicts() finds an empty diff script, which was not expected
there, because (the original author of xdl_merge() thought)
xdl_merge_cmp_lines() would catch that case earlier.
