Add a field to setup_revision_opt structure and allow these callers
to tell the setup_revisions command parsing machinery that short SHA1
it encounters are meant to name committish.

This step does not go all the way to connect the setup_revisions()
to sha1_name.c yet.

The existing "cant_be_filename" that tells the function that the
caller knows the arg is not a path (hence it does not have to be
checked for absense of the file whose name matches it) is made into
a bit in the flag word.

Many callers know that the user meant to name a committish by
syntactical positions where the object name appears.  Calling this
function allows the machinery to disambiguate shorter-than-unique
abbreviated object names between committish and others.

Note that this does NOT error out when the named object is not a
committish. It is merely to give a hint to the disambiguation
machinery.

The function takes user input string and returns the object name
(binary SHA-1) with mode bits and path when the object was looked
up in a tree.

Additionally give hints to help disambiguation of abbreviated object
names when the caller knows what it is looking for.

We know that the token "$name" that appear in "$name^{commit}",
"$name^4", "$name~4" etc. can only name a committish (either a
commit or a tag that peels to a commit).  Teach get_short_sha1() to
take advantage of that knowledge when disambiguating an abbreviated
SHA-1 given as an object name.

Teach get_describe_name() to pass the disambiguation hint down the

Also add tests to show various syntactic elements that we could take

abbreviated object names.  Many of them are marked as broken, and
some of them will be fixed in later patches in this series.

When the caller knows that the parameter is meant to name a commit,
e.g. "56789a" in describe name "v1.2.3-4-g56789a", pass that as a
hint so that lower level can use it to disambiguate objects when
there is only one commit whose name begins with 56789a even if there
are objects of other types whose names share the same prefix.

Instead of a separate "int quietly" argument, make it take "unsigned
flags" so that we can pass other options to it.

The bit assignment of this flag word is exposed in cache.h because
the mechanism will be exposed to callers of the higher layer in

In finish_object_disambiguation(), if the candidate hasn't been
checked, there are two cases:

 - It is the first and only object that match the prefix; or
 - It replaced another object that matched the prefix but that
   object did not satisfy ds->fn() callback.

And the former case we set ds->candidate_ok to true without doing
anything else, while for the latter we check the candidate, which
may set ds->candidate_ok to false.

At this point in the code, ds->candidate_ok can be false only if
this last-round check found that the candidate does not pass the
check, because the state after update_candidates() returns cannot
satisfy

    !ds->ambiguous && ds->candidate_exists && ds->candidate_checked

and !ds->canidate_ok at the same time.

Hence, when we execute this "return", we know we have seen more than
one object that match the prefix (and none of them satisfied ds->fn),
meaning that we should say "the short name is ambiguous", not "there
is no object that matches the prefix".

Noticed by Jeff King.

We try to find zero, one or more matches from loose objects and
packed objects independently and then decide if the given short
object name is unique across them.

Instead, introduce a "struct disambiguate_state" that keeps track of
what we have found so far, that can be one of:

 - We have seen one object that _could_ be what we are looking for;
 - We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
   and found that the object satisfies it;
 - We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
   and found that the object does not satisfy it; or
 - We have seen more than one objects that satisfy the constraints.

and pass it to the enumeration functions for loose and packed
objects.  The disambiguation state can optionally take a callback
function that takes a candidate object name and reports if the
object satisifies additional criteria (e.g. when the caller knows
that the short name must refer to a commit, this mechanism can be
used to check the type of the given object).

Compared to the earlier attempt, this round avoids the optional
check if there is only one candidate that matches the short name in
the first place.

zsh adds a backslash (foo\ ) for each item in the COMPREPLY array if IFS
doesn't contain spaces. This issue has been reported[1], but there is no
solution yet.

This wasn't a problem due to another bug[2], which was fixed in zsh
version 4.3.12. After this change, 'git checkout ma<tab>' would resolve
to 'git checkout master\ '.

Aditionally, the introduction of __gitcomp_nl in commit a31e6262
(completion: optimize refs completion) in git also made the problem
apparent, as Matthieu Moy reported.

The simplest and most generic solution is to hide all the changes we do
to IFS, so that "foo \nbar " is recognized by zsh as "foo bar". This
works on versions of git before and after the introduction of
__gitcomp_nl (a31e6262), and versions of zsh before and after 4.3.12.

Once zsh is fixed, we should conditionally disable this workaround to
have the same benefits as bash users.

The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation
modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths.
For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the
output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order
to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive
field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure
when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when
we have wildcards in the pathspec.

The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to
match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we
updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching
logic.

The credential-cache helper will try to connect to its
daemon over a unix socket. Originally, a failure to do so
was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if
performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new
daemon (for a "store" operation).

But since 8ec6c8d7, we try to report more errors. We detect a
missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection
attempt.  If the daemon is missing, we continue as before
(giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error,
we die and report the problem.

However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing
daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon
process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't
happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon
may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss,
"kill -9").

The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper
outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually
blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the
stale socket.

Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED.
