'git bisect reset' (without the optional <commit> argument) returns to
the original HEAD from where the bisection was started. However,
when, for whatever reason, the user deleted the original HEAD before
invoking 'git bisect reset', then all he gets is an error message from
'git checkout':
fatal: invalid reference: somebranch
Let's try to be more helpful with an error message better describing
what went wrong and a suggestion about how to resolve the situation:
Could not check out original HEAD 'somebranch'. Try 'git bisect reset <commit>'.

'git bisect log' is implemented by a direct invocation of 'cat
"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG"', without any sanity checks. Consequently,
running 'git bisect log' while not bisecting leads to an error,
because the bisect logfile doesn't exists. The accompanying error
message
cat: /path/to/repo/.git/BISECT_LOG: No such file or directory
is neither very helpful nor very friendly.
Instead of blindly trying to cat the log file, first check whether
there is a bisection going on (i.e. the bisect logfile exists), and
die with a more appropriate error message when not.

Eli Barzilay noticed that
http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>
link goes to 'shortlog' view, while 'commit' view would be more
useful, but that 'shortlog' action is more apropriate for
http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>..<other-commit-sha1>
links.
Therefore for the case when we don't have either action, or filename,
or parent hash [base] in path_info-based URL, i.e. for
http://server/gitweb/project/<object-id>
link, instead of using 'shortlog' view we allow dispatch() subroutine
to detect type of object and use appropriate action (in most case it
would be either 'commit' action, or 'tag', or 'tree' for top
directory).

There was bug in parsing "project/:/file" and "project/:/" path_info
URLs, with implicit HEAD as 'hash_base'.
For such URLs the refname is empty, and before this fix regexp for

Change test_expect_code to be a normal test command instead of a
top-level command.
As a top-level command it would fail in cases like:
test_expect_code 1 'phoney' '
foo && bar && (exit 1)
'
Here the test might incorrectly succeed if "foo" or "bar" happened to
fail with exit status 1. Instead we now do:
test_expect_success 'phoney' '
foo && bar && test_expect_code 1 "(exit 1)"
'
Which will only succeed if "foo" and "bar" return status 0, and "(exit
1)" returns status 1. Note that test_expect_code has been made slightly
noisier, as it reports the exit code it receives even upon success.
Some test code in t0000-basic.sh relied on the old semantics of
test_expect_code to test the test_when_finished command. I've
converted that code to use an external test similar to the TODO test I
added in v1.7.3-rc0~2^2~3.

There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD). The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:
(((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)
But on NetBSD:
((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)
Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF. On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.
Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.
