a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.

What convention?  Glad you asked.

The section name indicates the affected subsystem.

The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
an unbound set of things to set the value for.

The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
this knob.

The section and variable names can be broken into
words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
the reader.  These word breaks are not significant
at the level of code, since the section and variable
names are not case sensitive.

The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like

[add]
ignoreErrors

does not have any effect.  Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.

t4203: do not let "git shortlog" DWIM based on tty

The "shortlog" command defaults to HEAD only when its standard input is
connected to a terminal; otherwise it acts in the traditional "filter"
mode to read and summarize the "git log" output.

Two new tests added to t4203 assumed that the command always default to
HEAD, but when the standard input is closed (or connected to /dev/null),
it output empty, which is a summary of its empty input, causing the test
to break.

exactly at that directory.

Let git-repack pass a path under .git/objects/pack/ as the base for
its temporary packs.

This means we might need the $PACKDIR sooner (before the pack-objects
invocation), so move the mkdir up just to be safe.

Also note that the only use of *.pack is in the find invocation way
before the pack-objects call, so the temporary packs will not suddenly
show up in any wildcards because of the directory change.

send-pack: avoid redundant "pack-objects died with strange error"

Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant.  The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).

Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.

So leave off the "strange error" messages.

The result should look something like this:

$ git push sf master
Counting objects: 21542, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
error: pack-objects died of signal 13
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'
$

Or in the "controlled exit" case (contrived example):

[...]
fatal: delta size changed
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://example.com/foo/bar'

mailmap: fix use of freed memory

On an x86_64 system (F13-based), I ran these commands in an empty directory:

    git init
    printf '%s\n' \
      '<jdoe@example.com> <jdoe@example.COM>' \
      'John <jdoe@example.com>' > .mailmap
    git shortlog < /dev/null

Here's the result:

    (reading log message from standard input)
    *** glibc detected *** git: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000f53730 ***

    zsh: abort (core dumped)  git shortlog

What happened?

Some .mailmap entry is of the <email1> <email2> form,
while a subsequent one looks like "User Name <Email2>,
and the two email addresses on the right are not identical
but are "equal" when using a case-insensitive comparator.

Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL
and we free me->email, yet do not replace it with a new strdup'd string.
Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,
we reference freed memory.

The solution is to free ->email and ->name only if we're about to replace them.
