Part of a campaign to avoid git <command> -h being distracted by
access to the repository.  A caller hoping to use "git ls-files"
with an alternate index as part of a repair operation may well use
"git ls-files -h" to show usage while planning it out.

Given a request for command-line usage information rather than some
more substantial action, the only friendly thing to do is to report
the usage information as soon as possible and exit.

Without this change, as "git gc" glances over the repository, it can
be distracted by the desire to report a malformed configuration file.

checker.

"git status" and "git commit" read .git/config and .gitmodules before

when the caller just wanted to know what arguments are accepted.

There is no need for "git branch -h" to try to access a repository.

In the spirit of v1.6.6-rc0~34^2~3 (Let 'git <command> -h' show usage
without a git dir, 2009-11-09).  This brings git one step closer to
passing the following (automatically verifiable) test:

 Before any repository access (aside from git_config()), a
 function from the setup_git_directory_* family has been run

and thus one step closer to being able to use an automatic repository
access checker.

Change test_expect_code to be a normal test command instead of a
top-level command.

As a top-level command it would fail in cases like:

    test_expect_code 1 'phoney' '
        foo && bar && (exit 1)
    '

Here the test might incorrectly succeed if "foo" or "bar" happened to
fail with exit status 1. Instead we now do:

    test_expect_success 'phoney' '
        foo && bar && test_expect_code 1 "(exit 1)"
    '

Which will only succeed if "foo" and "bar" return status 0, and "(exit
1)" returns status 1.  Note that test_expect_code has been made slightly
noisier, as it reports the exit code it receives even upon success.

Some test code in t0000-basic.sh relied on the old semantics of
test_expect_code to test the test_when_finished command. I've
converted that code to use an external test similar to the TODO test I
added in v1.7.3-rc0~2^2~3.

There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD).  The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:

    (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)

But on NetBSD:

    ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)

Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF.  On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.

Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

The buffer used to construct paths like ".git/objects/info" and
".git/objects/pack" is allocated on the heap and never freed.

So free it.  While at it, factor out the relevant code into its own
function and rename the sha1_dir variable to object_directory (to
match the change in everyday usage after the renaming of
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY in v0.99~603^2~7, 2005).

If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text

	gitdir: <path>

(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().

Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls.  Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.

It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
