CVS Server: Support reading base and roots from environment
The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands
through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is
authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for
upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through
git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed
through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks
sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained.
Despite that, passing a repository root is necessary for per-user
access control by the hosting software, and passing a base path
improves usability without weakening security. Thus, git-cvsserver
needs to come up with these values at runtime by some other
means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other purposes,
the environment can carry these arguments as well.
Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOT} in
the absence of equivalent command line arguments.

reset: improve mixed reset error message when in a bare repo
When running a "git reset --mixed" in a bare repository, the
message displayed is something like:
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree
fatal: Could not reset index file to revision 'HEAD^'.
This message is a little bit misleading because a mixed reset is
ok in a git directory, so it is not absolutely needed to run it in
a work tree.
So this patch improves upon the above by changing the message to:
fatal: mixed reset is not allowed in a bare repository
And if "git reset" is ever sped up by using unpack_tree() directly
(instead of execing "git read-tree"), this patch will also make
sure that a mixed reset is still disallowed in a bare repository.

Commit 952dfc6 tried to tighten the safety valves for doing
a "reset --hard" in a bare repository or outside the work
tree, but accidentally broke the case for GIT_WORK_TREE.
This patch unbreaks it.
Most git commands which need a work tree simply use
NEED_WORK_TREE in git.c to die before they get to their
cmd_* function. Reset, however, only needs a work tree in
some cases, and so must handle the work tree itself. The
error that 952dfc6 made was to simply forbid certain
operations if the work tree was not set up; instead, we need
to do the same thing that NEED_WORK_TREE does, which is to
call setup_work_tree(). We no longer have to worry about dying
in the non-worktree case, as setup_work_tree handles that
for us.

Input to "grep" is supposed to be "text", but we deliberately feed output

Fortunately, "grep -a" is often a way to force the command to treat its

t1200: work around a bug in some implementations of "find"
"find path ..." command should exit with zero status only when all path

Rewrite the test to check that there is no regular files in the objects
fan-out directories to work around this bug; it is closer to what we are
testing anyway.
Ever since 658f365 (Make git-rerere a builtin, 2006-12-20) rewrote it, it
kept this line-length limit regression, even after we started using strbuf
in the same function in 19b358e (Use strbuf API in buitin-rerere.c,
2007-09-06).
resolve-undo: teach "update-index --unresolve" to use resolve-undo info
The update-index plumbing command had a hacky --unresolve implementation
that was written back in the days when merge was the only way for users to
end up with higher stages in the index, and assumed that stage #2 must
have come from HEAD, stage #3 from MERGE_HEAD and didn't bother to compute
the stage #1 information.
There were several issues with this approach:
- These days, merge is not the only command, and conflicts coming from
commands like cherry-pick, "am -3", etc. cannot be recreated by looking
at MERGE_HEAD;
- For a conflict that came from a merge that had renames, picking up the
same path from MERGE_HEAD and HEAD wouldn't help recreating it, either;
- It may have been Ok not to recreate stage #1 back when it was written,
because "diff --ours/--theirs" were the only availble ways to review
conflicts and they don't need stage #1 information. "diff --cc" that
was invented much later is a lot more useful way but it needs stage #1.
We can use resolve-undo information recorded in the index extension to
solve all of these issues.
resolve-undo: "checkout -m path" uses resolve-undo information
Once you resolved conflicts by "git add path", you cannot recreate the
conflicted state with "git checkout -m path", because you lost information
from higher stages in the index when you resolved them.
Since we record the necessary information in the resolve-undo index
extension these days, we can reproduce the unmerged state in the index and
check it out.
resolve-undo: allow plumbing to clear the information
At the Porcelain level, operations such as merge that populate an
initially cleanly merged index with conflicted entries clear the
resolve-undo information upfront. Give scripted Porcelains a way
to do the same, by implementing "update-index --clear-resolve-info".
With this, a scripted Porcelain may "update-index --clear-resolve-info"
first and repeatedly run "update-index --cacheinfo" to stuff unmerged
entries to the index, to be resolved by the user with "git add" and
stuff.
Make sure that resolving a failed merge with git add records
the conflicted state, committing the result keeps that state,
and checking out another commit clears the state.
"git ls-files" learns a new option --resolve-undo to show the
recorded information.
resolve-undo: record resolved conflicts in a new index extension section
When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or
"git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at()
function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage)
entries from the index. Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.
Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary. The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.
Instead of using the low-level index_state interface, use the bog standard
active_cache and active_nr macros to access the cache entries when using the
default one.
git svn: branch/tag commands detect username in URLs
svn+ssh:// repositories often have userinfo embedded in the URL
which were stripped out of the "git-svn-id:" trailers. Since
the SVN::Client::copy function takes userinfo into account when
matching URLs for SVN repositories, we need to retrieve the full
URL with embedded userinfo in it to avoid mismatched URLs.

help.autocorrect: do not run a command if the command given is junk
Illustrate "filter" attribute with an example
worktree: don't segfault with an absolute pathspec without a work tree
If a command is run with an absolute path as a pathspec inside a bare
repository, e.g. "rev-list HEAD -- /home", the code tried to run strlen()
on NULL, which is the result of get_git_work_tree(), and segfaulted. It
should just fail instead.
Currently the function returns NULL even inside .git/ in a repository
with a work tree, but that is a separate issue.
When parsing the config file, if there is a value that is
syntactically correct but unused, we generally ignore it.
This lets non-core porcelains store arbitrary information in
the config file, and it means that configuration files can
be shared between new and old versions of git (the old
versions might simply ignore certain configuration).
The one exception to this is color configuration; if we
encounter a color.{diff,branch,status}.$slot variable, we
die if it is not one of the recognized slots (presumably as
a safety valve for user misconfiguration). This behavior
has existed since 801235c (diff --color: use
$GIT_DIR/config, 2006-06-24), but hasn't yet caused a
problem. No porcelain has wanted to store extra colors, and
we once a color area (like color.diff) has been introduced,
we've never changed the set of color slots.
However, that changed recently with the addition of
color.diff.func. Now a user with color.diff.func in their
config can no longer freely switch between v1.6.6 and older
versions; the old versions will complain about the existence
of the variable.
This patch loosens the check to match the rest of
git-config; unknown color slots are simply ignored. This
doesn't fix this particular problem, as the older version
(without this patch) is the problem, but it at least
prevents it from happening again in the future.

unresolved conflicts), or an updated path, it would result in discarding
what the other branch did.
Note that we do not do anything special in a case where we are amending a
merge. The user is making an evil merge starting from an already
committed merge, and running "reset HEAD <path>" is the right way to get
rid of the local edit that has been added to the index.
Once "reset --unresolve <path>" becomes available, we might want to
suggest it for a merged path that has unresolve information, but until
then, just remove the incorrect advice.
We might also want to suggest "checkout --conflict <path>" to revert the
file in the work tree to the state of failed automerge for an unmerged
path, but we never did that, and this commit does not change that.
commit/status: "git add <path>" is not necessarily how to resolve
When the desired resolution is to remove the path, "git rm <path>" is the
command the user needs to use. Just like in "Changed but not updated"
section, suggest to use "git add/rm" as appropriate.
