config.mak.uname: set NO_REGEX=NeedsStartEnd on AIX
Set the NO_REGEX=NeedsStartEnd Makefile flag by default on AIX.
Since commit 2f8952250a ("regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a
non NUL-terminated string", 2016-09-21) git has errored out at
compile-time if the regular expression library doesn't support
REG_STARTEND.
While looking through Google search results for the use of NO_REGEX I
found a Chef recipe that set this on AIX[1], looking through the
documentation for the latest version of AIX (7.2, released October
2015) shows that its regexec() doesn't have REG_STARTEND.

submodule: properly recurse for read-tree and checkout
We forgot to prepare the submodule env, which is only a problem for
nested submodules. See 2e5d6503bd (ls-files: fix recurse-submodules
with nested submodules, 2017-04-13) for further explanation.
To come up with a proper test for this, we'd need to look at nested
submodules just as in that given commit. It turns out we're lucky
and these tests already exist, but are marked as failing. We need
to pass `--recurse-submodules` to read-tree additionally to make
these tests pass. Passing that flag alone would not make the tests
pass, such that this covers testing for the bug fix of the submodule
env as well.

As long as no existing value matches the regex ^$, that works as
intended and adds to the config. When a value is empty, though, it
replaces the existing value.
Noticed while trying to set credential.helper during a clone to use a
specific helper without inheriting from ~/.gitconfig and
/etc/gitconfig. That is, I ran
credential doc: make multiple-helper behavior more prominent
Git's configuration system works by reading multiple configuration
files in order, from general to specific:
- first, the system configuration /etc/gitconfig
- then the user's configuration (~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config)
- then the repository configuration (.git/config)
For single-valued configuration items, the latest value wins. For
multi-valued configuration items, values accumulate in that order.
For example, this allows setting a credential helper globally in
~/.gitconfig that git will try to use in all repositories, regardless
of whether they additionally provide another helper. This is usually
a nice thing --- e.g. I can install helpers to use my OS keychain and
to cache credentials for a short period of time globally.
Sometimes people want to be able to override an inherited setting.
For the credential.helper setting, this is done by setting the
configuration item to empty before giving it a new value. This is
already documented but the documentation is hard to find ---
git-config(1) says to look at gitcredentials(7) and the config
reference in gitcredentials(7) doesn't mention this issue.
Move the documentation to the config reference to make it easier to
find.

t7400: add !CYGWIN prerequisite to 'add with \\ in path'
Commit cf9e55f494 ("submodule: prevent backslash expantion in submodule
names", 07-04-2017) added a test which creates a git repository with
some backslash characters in the name. On windows, where the backslash
character is a directory separator, it is not possible to create a
repository with the name 'sub\with\backslash'. (The NTFS filesystem would
probably allow it, but the win32 api does not). The MinGW and Git for
Windows versions of git actually create a repository called 'backslash'
in the sub-directory 'sub/with'.
On cygwin, however, due to the slightly schizophrenic treatment of the
backslash character by cygwin-git, this test fails at the 'git init'
stage. The git-init command does not recognise the directory separators
in the input path (eg. is_dir_sep('\\') is false), so it does not
attempt to create the leading directories 'sub/with'. (The call to
mkdir('sub\\with\\backslash') actually does recognise the directory
separators, but fails because the 'sub/with' directory doesn't exist).
In order to suppress the test failure (for now), add the !CYGWIN test
prerequisite.

When encountering a commit message that does not end in a newline,
sequencer does not complete the line before determining if a blank line
should be added. This causes the "(cherry picked..." and sign-off lines
to sometimes appear on the same line as the last line of the commit
message.
This behavior was introduced by commit 967dfd4 ("sequencer: use
trailer's trailer layout", 2016-11-29). However, a revert of that commit
would not resolve this issue completely: prior to that commit, a
conforming footer was deemed to be non-conforming by
has_conforming_footer() if there was no terminating newline, resulting
in both conforming and non-conforming footers being treated the same
when they should not be.
Resolve this issue, both for conforming and non-conforming footers, and
in both do_pick_commit() and append_signoff(), by always adding a
newline to the commit message if it does not end in one before checking
the footer for conformity.

In some situations run-command will incorrectly try (and fail) to

to use ssh protoccol, reslting in the following:
It ends up being worse and run-command will even try to execute a
non-executable file if it preceeds the executable version of a file on
the PATH. For example, if PATH=~/bin1:~/bin2:~/bin3 and there exists a
directory 'git-hello' in 'bin1', a non-executable file 'git-hello' in
bin2 and an executable file 'git-hello' (which prints "Hello World!") in
bin3 the following will occur:
This is due to only checking 'access()' when locating an executable in
PATH, which doesn't distinguish between files and directories. Instead
use 'is_executable()' which check that the path is to a regular,
executable file. Now run-command won't try to execute the directory or
non-executable file 'git-hello':
$ git hello
Hello World!
which matches what execvp(3) would have done when asked to execute
git-hello with such a $PATH.

prio_queue_reverse: don't swap elements with themselves
Our array-reverse algorithm does the usual "walk from both
ends, swapping elements". We can quit when the two indices
are equal, since:
1. Swapping an element with itself is a noop.
2. If i and j are equal, then in the next iteration i is
guaranteed to be bigge than j, and we will exit the
loop.
So exiting the loop on equality is slightly more efficient.
And more importantly, the new SWAP() macro does not expect
to handle noop swaps; it will call memcpy() with the same src
and dst pointers in this case. It's unclear whether that
causes a problem on any platforms by violating the
"overlapping memory" constraint of memcpy, but it does cause
valgrind to complain.

When we complete branch names for "git checkout", we also
complete remote branch names that could trigger the DWIM
behavior. Depending on your workflow and project, this can
be either convenient or annoying.
For instance, my clone of gitster.git contains 74 local
"jk/*" branches, but origin contains another 147. When I
want to checkout a local branch but can't quite remember the
name, tab completion shows me 251 entries. And worse, for a
topic that has been picked up for pu, the upstream branch
name is likely to be similar to mine, leading to a high
probability that I pick the wrong one and accidentally
create a new branch.
This patch adds a way for the user to tell the completion
code not to include DWIM suggestions for checkout. This can
already be done by typing:
git checkout --no-guess jk/<TAB>
but that's rather cumbersome. The downside, of course, is
that you no longer get completion support when you _do_ want
to invoke the DWIM behavior. But depending on your workflow,
that may not be a big loss (for instance, in git.git I am
much more likely to want to detach, so I'd type "git
checkout origin/jk/<TAB>" anyway).
