git-read-tree.txt: correct sparse-checkout and skip-worktree description
The description of .git/info/sparse-checkout and
skip-worktree is exactly the opposite of what is true, which is:
If a file matches a pattern in sparse-checkout, then (it is to be
checked out and therefore) skip-worktree is unset for that file;
otherwise, it is set (so that it is not checked out).
Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's
behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly.
Fix it.
In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore"
or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout,
and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes
and skip-worktree.

fetch: skip on-demand checking when no submodules are configured
It makes no sense to do the - possibly very expensive - call to "rev-list

there aren't any submodules configured.
Leave check_for_new_submodule_commits() early when no name <-> path
mappings for submodules are found in the configuration. To make that work
reading the configuration had to be moved further up in cmd_fetch(), as
doing that after the actual fetch of the superproject was too late.

clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:
- If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.
- An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
repository.
This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

read_gitfile_gently(): rename misnamed function to read_gitfile()
The function was not gentle at all to the callers and died without giving
them a chance to deal with possible errors. Rename it to read_gitfile(),
and update all the callers.
As no existing caller needs a true "gently" variant, we do not bother
adding one at this point.

am: refresh the index at start and --resolved
If a file is unchanged but stat-dirty, we may erroneously
fail to apply patches, thinking that they conflict with a
dirty working tree.
This patch adds a call to "update-index --refresh". It comes
as late as possible, so that we don't bother with it for
thinks like "git rebase --abort", or when mbox-splitting
fails. However, it does come before we actually start
applying patches, meaning we will only call it once when we
start applying patches (or any time we return to "am" after
having resolved conflicts), and not once per patch.

ls-files: fix pathspec display on error
The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:
$ mkdir sub
$ cd sub
$ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
$ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.
So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.
Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.
$ cd Documentation
$ git checkout nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
$ git commit nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...
by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

helping smart-http/stateless-rpc fetch race
A request to fetch from a client over smart HTTP protocol is served in
multiple steps. In the first round, the server side shows the set of refs
it has and their values, and the client picks from them and sends "I want
to fetch the history leading to these commits".
When the server tries to respond to this second request, its refs may have
progressed by a push from elsewhere. By design, we do not allow fetching
objects that are not at the tip of an advertised ref, and the server
rejects such a request. The client needs to try again, which is not ideal
especially for a busy server.
Teach upload-pack (which is the workhorse driven by git-daemon and smart
http server interface) that it is OK for a smart-http client to ask for
commits that are not at the tip of any advertised ref, as long as they are
reachable from advertised refs.

filter-branch: Export variable `workdir' for --commit-filter
According to `git help filter-branch':
--commit-filter <command>
...
You can use the _map_ convenience function in this filter,
and other convenience functions, too...
...
However, it turns out that `map' hasn't been usable because it depends
on the variable `workdir', which is not propogated to the environment
of the shell that runs the commit-filter <command> because the
shell is created via a simple-command rather than a compound-command
subshell:
@SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \
$(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit ||
die "could not write rewritten commit"
One solution is simply to export `workdir'. However, it seems rather
heavy-handed to export `workdir' to the environments of all commands,
so instead this commit exports `workdir' for only the duration of the
shell command in question:
workdir=$workdir @SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \

fast-export: quote paths in output
Many pathnames in a fast-import stream need to be quoted. In
particular:
1. Pathnames at the end of an "M" or "D" line need quoting
if they contain a LF or start with double-quote.
2. Pathnames on a "C" or "R" line need quoting as above,
but also if they contain spaces.
For (1), we weren't quoting at all. For (2), we put
double-quotes around the paths to handle spaces, but ignored
the possibility that they would need further quoting.
This patch checks whether each pathname needs c-style
quoting, and uses it. This is slightly overkill for (1),
which doesn't actually need to quote many characters that
vanilla c-style quoting does. However, it shouldn't hurt, as
any implementation needs to be ready to handle quoted
strings anyway.
In addition to adding a test, we have to tweak a test which
blindly assumed that case (2) would always use
double-quotes, whether it needed to or not.

diff -c/--cc: do not mistake "resolved as deletion" as "use working tree"
The combined diff machinery can be used to compare:
- a merge commit with its parent commits;
- a working-tree file with multiple stages in an unmerged index; or
- a working-tree file with the HEAD and the index.
The internal function combine-diff.c:show_patch_diff() checked if it needs
to read the "result" from the working tree by looking at the object name
of the result --- if it is null_sha1, it read from the working tree.
This mistook a merge that records a deletion as the conflict resolution
as if it is a cue to read from the working tree. Pass this information
explicitly from the caller instead.
Noticed and reported by Johan Herland.

notice error exit from pager
If the pager fails to run, git produces no output, e.g.:
$ GIT_PAGER=not-a-command git log
The error reporting fails for two reasons:
(1) start_command: There is a mechanism that detects errors during
execvp introduced in 2b541bf8 (start_command: detect execvp
failures early). The child writes one byte to a pipe only if
execvp fails. The parent waits for either EOF, when the
successful execvp automatically closes the pipe (see
FD_CLOEXEC in fcntl(1)), or it reads a single byte, in which
case it knows that the execvp failed. This mechanism is
incompatible with the workaround introduced in 35ce8622
(pager: Work around window resizing bug in 'less'), which
waits for input from the parent before the exec. Since both
the parent and the child are waiting for input from each
other, that would result in a deadlock. In order to avoid
that, the mechanism is disabled by closing the child_notifier
file descriptor.
(2) finish_command: The parent correctly detects the 127 exit
status from the child, but the error output goes nowhere,
since by that time it is already being redirected to the
child.
No simple solution for (1) comes to mind.
Number (2) can be solved by not sending error output to the pager.
Not redirecting error output to the pager can result in the pager
overwriting error output with standard output, however.
Since there is no reliable way to handle error reporting in the
parent, produce the output in the child instead.
