When the git directory is accessed through a symlink like
ln -s /tmp/git /tmp/git-symlink
cd /tmp/git-symlink/t
make -C .. && ./t9903-bash-prompt.sh
$TRASH_DIRECTORY is /tmp/git-symlink/t/trash directory.t9903-bash-prompt
and $(pwd -P) is /tmp/git/t/trash directory.t9903-bash-prompt.
When __gitdir looks up the path through 'git rev-parse --git-dir', it
will return paths similar to $(pwd -P). This behavior is already tested in
t9903 'gitdir - resulting path avoids symlinks'.

The hg_log() test helper uses the "--graph" parameter that is
implemented by the GraphLog extension. If the extension is not activated
by the user, the parameter is not available. Activate the extension in
setup().
Also changes the way we grep the output in hg_log(). The pipe operator
can hide the return code of hg command. As a matter of fact, if log
fails because it doesn't know about "--graph", it doesn't report any
failure and let's you think everything worked.

The examples in the documentation are all for Apache. Let's
at least cover the basics: an anonymous server, an
authenticated server, and a "half auth" server with
anonymous read and authenticated write.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When the http-backend is set up to allow anonymous read but
authenticated write, the http-backend manual suggests
catching only the "/git-receive-pack" POST of the packfile,
not the initial "info/refs?service=git-receive-pack" GET in
which we advertise refs.
This does work and is secure, as we do not allow any write
during the info/refs request, and the information in the ref
advertisement is the same that you would get from a fetch.
However, the configuration required by the server is
slightly more complex. The default `http.receivepack`
setting is to allow pushes if the webserver tells us that
the user authenticated, and otherwise to return a 403
("Forbidden"). That works fine if authentication is turned
on completely; the initial request requires authentication,
and http-backend realizes it is OK to do a push.
But for this "half-auth" state, no authentication has
occurred during the initial ref advertisement. The
http-backend CGI therefore does not think that pushing
should be enabled, and responds with a 403. The client
cannot continue, even though the server would have allowed
it to run if it had provided credentials.
It would be much better if the server responded with a 401,
asking for credentials during the initial contact. But
git-http-backend does not know about the server's auth
configuration (so a 401 would be confusing in the case of a
true anonymous server). Unfortunately, configuring Apache to
recognize the query string and apply the auth appropriately
to receive-pack (but not upload-pack) initial requests is
non-trivial.
The site admin can work around this by just turning on
http.receivepack explicitly in its repositories. Let's
document this workaround.

Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text
formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere.
Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the
function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other
callers.
We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and
download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will
now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of
"0 KiB/s".

Do not report that an argument to clone's --reference option is not a
local directory. Nothing checks for the existence or type of the path
as supplied by the user; checks are only done for particular contents of
the supposed directory, so we have no way to know the status of the
supplied path. Telling the user that a directory doesn't exist when
that isn't actually known may lead him or her on the wrong path to
finding the problem.
Instead just state that the entered path is not a local repository which
is really all that is known about it. It could be more helpful to state
the actual paths which were checked, but I believe that giving a good
description of that would be too verbose for a simple error message and
would be too dependent on implementation details.

While explicitly stating that the commit message in a prerequisite
line is optional, we required all lines with 40 or more characters
to contain a space after the object name, bailing out if a line
consisted of an object name only. This was to allow bundling a
history to a commit without an message, but the code forgot that it
already called rtrim() to remove that whitespace.
As a workaround, only check for SP when the line has more than 40
characters.
