gitweb: Introduce esc_attr to escape attributes of HTML elements

It is needed only to escape attributes of handcrafted HTML elements,
and not those generated using CGI.pm subroutines / methods for HTML
generation.

While at it, add esc_url and esc_html where needed, and prefer to use
CGI.pm HTML generating methods than handcrafted HTML code.  Most of
those are probably unnecessary (could be exploited only by person with

dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning

If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn
about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a
branch yet to be born.

However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed
something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is
dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was
"HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the
dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD".

Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and
consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty
repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocation

The 'git stash pop' option parsing used to remove the first argument
in --index mode.  At the time this was implemented, this first
argument was always --index.  However, since the invention of the -q
option in fcdd0e9 (stash: teach quiet option, 2009-06-17) you can
cause an internal invocation of

  git stash drop --index

by running

  git stash pop -q --index

which then of course fails because drop doesn't know --index.

To handle this, instead let 'git stash apply' decide what the future
argument to 'drop' should be.

Warning: this means that 'git stash apply' must parse all options that
'drop' can take, and deal with them in the same way.  This is
currently true for its only option -q.

reset: unbreak hard resets with GIT_WORK_TREE

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

ignore unknown color configuration

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.

deleted line entirely, and we submitted a bogus patch to
git-apply (with "/dev/null" as the destination file, but not

rerere: don't segfault on failure to open rr-cache

The rr-cache directory should always exist if we are doing
garbage collection (earlier code paths check this
explicitly), but we may not necessarily succeed in opening
it (for example, due to permissions problems). In that case,
we should print an error message rather than simply
segfaulting.

Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparam

Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output.  Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.

When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.

Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line.  Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.

If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:

    $ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

pull: clarify advice for the unconfigured error case

When pull --rebase fails because it cannot find what branch to

Say "rebase against" instead of "merge with" to avoid confusion.

The configuration suggested to remedy the situation uses a
confusing syntax, with variables specified in the dotted form
accepted by 'git config' but separated from their values by the
'=' delimiter used by config files.  Since the user will have to

Although 'git help' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git
repository and uses no repository-specific information, it looks for a git
directory.  Searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount
