Introduce --min-parents and --max-parents options which limit the
revisions to those commits which have at least (or at most) that many
commits, where negative arguments for --max-parents= denote infinity
(i.e. no upper limit).

In particular:

  --max-parents=1 is the same as --no-merges;
  --min-parents=2 is the same as --merges;
  --max-parents=0 shows only roots; and
  --min-parents=3 shows only octopus merges

Using --min-parents=n and --max-parents=m with n>m gives you what you ask
for (i.e. nothing) for obvious reasons, just like when you give --merges
(show only merge commits) and --no-merges (show only non-merge commits) at
the same time.

Also, introduce --no-min-parents and --no-max-parents to do the obvious
thing for convenience.

We compute the number of parents only when we limit by that, so there
is no performance impact when there are no limiters.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.

I personally use "git bisect visualize" all the time when I bisect, but it
turns out that that is not a very flexible model. Sometimes I want to do
bisection based on all commits (no pathname limiting), but then visualize
the current bisection tree with just a few pathnames because I _suspect_
those pathnames are involved in the problem but am not totally sure about
them.

And at other times, I want to use other revision parsing logic, none of
which is available with "git bisect visualize".

So this adds "--bisect" as a revision parsing argument, and as a result it
just works with all the normal logging tools. So now I can just do

	gitk --bisect --simplify-by-decoration filename-here

etc.

The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.

For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status".  Now it works.

Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?

IOW it is allowed to call

	$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla

when you really want to.  In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree.  So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.

Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.

The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:

--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.

In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir.  This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.

The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option).  Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.

setup_gdg does the following now:

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
    parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
    GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
    GIT_DIR is set to cwd
    see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
    also see the note below

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
    cwd is used as work tree

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
    the specified work tree is used

Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
    GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
    I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
    times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
    setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.

Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:

(1) is_bare_repository
    A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
    unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
    named .git).  The bare option disables a few protective
    checks which are useful with a working tree.  Currently
    this changes if a repository is bare:
        updates of HEAD are allowed
        git gc packs the refs
        the reflog is disabled by default

(2) is_inside_work_tree
    True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
    is one), false otherwise.

(3) is_inside_git_dir
    True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
    Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
    repositories.

When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called.  This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.

inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository.  The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when

idiotic conversions like

    if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))

  =>

and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
