Even though 1.7.9.x series does not open the editor by default
when merging in general, it does do so in one occassion: when
merging an annotated tag. And worse yet, there is no good way
for older scripts to decline this.

Backport the support for GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
from 1.7.10 track to help those stuck on 1.7.9.x maintenance
track.

OS X's sed and grep would complain with (respectively)

  sed: 1: "/^-/{p;q}": extra characters at the end of q command
  grep: Regular expression too big

For sed, use an explicit ; to terminate the q command.

For grep, spell the "40 hex digits" explicitly in the regex, which
should be safe as other tests already use this and we haven't got
breakage reports on OS X about them.

The current wording of the http.proxy documentation suggests that
http_proxy is somehow equivalent to http.proxy. However, while
http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the
proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment
variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only
http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols.

Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and
all_proxy as well.

Also replace linkgit:curl[1] with a literal 'curl(1)', because the
former gets translated to a dead link in the HTML pages.

The construct 'while IFS== read' makes dash 0.5.6 execute
read without changing IFS, which results in test breakages
all over the place in t0300.  Neither dash 0.5.5.1 and older
nor dash 0.5.7 and newer are affected: The problem was
introduded resp. fixed by the commits

  55c46b7 ([BUILTIN] Honor tab as IFS whitespace when
           splitting fields in readcmd, 2009-08-11)

  1d806ac ([VAR] Do not poplocalvars prematurely on regular
           utilities, 2010-05-27)

in http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/dash/dash.git

Putting 'IFS==' before that line makes all versions of dash
work.

This looks like a dash bug, not a misinterpretation of the
standard. However, it's worth working around for two
reasons. One, this version of dash was released in Fedora
14-16, so the bug is found in the wild. And two, at least
one other shell, Solaris /bin/sh, choked on this by
persisting IFS after the read invocation. That is not a
shell we usually care about, and I think this use of IFS is
acceptable by POSIX (which allows other behavior near
"special builtins", but "read" is not one of those). But it
seems that this may be a subtle, not-well-tested case for
some shells. Given that the workaround is so simple, it's
worth just being defensive.

If any test script is run directly with Solaris 10 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or
/bin/ksh, it fails spuriously with a message like:

  t0000-basic.sh[31]: unset: bad argument count

This happens because those shells bail out when encountering a call to
"unset" with no arguments, and such unset call could take place in
'test-lib.sh'.  Fix that issue, and add a proper comment to ensure we
don't regress in this respect.

The 'name' field passed to add_pending_object() is used to later
deduplicate in object_array_remove_duplicates().

git-bundle had a bug in this area since 18449ab0 (git-bundle: avoid
packing objects which are in the prerequisites, 2007-03-08): it passed
the name of each boundary object in a static buffer.  In other words,
all that object_array_remove_duplicates() saw was the name of the
*last* added boundary object.

The recent switch to a strbuf in bc2fed49 (bundle: use a strbuf to scan
the log for boundary commits, 2012-02-22) made this slightly worse: we
now free the buffer at the end, so it is not even guaranteed that it
still points into addressable memory by the time object_array_remove_
duplicates looks at it.  On the plus side however, it was now
detectable by valgrind.

The fix is easy: pass a copy of the string to add_pending_object.

The plumbing "diff" commands look at the working tree files without
refreshing the index themselves for performance reasons (the calling
script is expected to do that upfront just once, before calling one or
more of them).  In the early days of git, they showed the "diff --git"
header before they actually ask the xdiff machinery to produce patches,
and ended up showing only these headers if the real contents are the same
and the difference they noticed was only because the stat info cached in
the index did not match that of the working tree. It was too late for the
implementation to take the header that it already emitted back.

But 3e97c7c6 (No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes, 2009-11-19)
introduced necessary logic to keep the meta-information headers in a
strbuf and delay their output until the xdiff machinery noticed actual
changes. This was primarily in order to generate patches that ignore
whitespaces. When operating under "-w" mode, we wouldn't know if the
header is needed until we actually look at the resulting patch, so it was
a sensible thing to do, but we did not realize that the same reasoning
applies to stat-dirty paths.

Later, 296c6bb2 (diff: fix "git show -C -C" output when renaming a binary
file, 2010-05-26) generalized this machinery and added must_show_header
toggle.  This is turned on when the header must be shown even when there
is no patch to be produced, e.g. only the mode was changed, or the path
was renamed, without changing the contents.  However, when it did so, it
still kept the special case for the "-w" mode, which meant that the
plumbing would keep showing these phantom changes.

This corrects this historical inconsistency by allowing the plumbing to
omit paths that are only stat-dirty from its output in the same way as it
handles whitespace only changes under "-w" option.

The change in the behaviour can be seen in the updated test.

The plumbing that looks at the working tree, i.e. "diff-index" and
"diff-files", always emit the "diff --git a/path b/path" header lines
without anything else for paths that are only stat-dirty (i.e. different
only because the cached stat information in the index no longer matches
that of the working tree, but the real contents are the same), when
these commands are run with "-p" option to produce patches.

Illustrate this current behaviour.  Also demonstrate that with the "-w"
option, we (correctly) hold off showing a "diff --git" header until actual
differences have been found.  This also suppresses the header for merely
stat-dirty files, which is inconsistent.

Match the style to more modern test scripts, namely:

 - The first line of each test has prereq, title and opening sq for the
   script body.  This makes the test shorter while reducing the need for
   backslashes.

 - Be prepared for the case in which the previous test may have failed.
   If a test wants to start from not having "frotz" that the previous test
   may have created, write "rm -f frotz", not "rm frotz".

 - Prepare the expected output inside your own test.

 - The order of comparison to check the result is "diff expected actual",
   so that the output will show how the output from the git you just broke
   is different from what is expected.

 - Write no SP between redirection '>' (or '<' for that matter) and the
   filename.

When using regexp search ('sr' parameter / $search_use_regexp variable
is true), check first that regexp is valid.

Without this patch we would get an error from Perl during search (if
searching is performed by gitweb), or highlighting matches substring
(if applicable), if user provided invalid regexp... which means broken
HTML, with error page (including HTTP headers) generated after gitweb
already produced some output.

Add test that illustrates such error: for example for regexp "*\.git"
we would get the following error:
