Since $GIT_DIR does not exist when initializing new repositories,
we can follow back to the global and system config files for
git.
The logic for this was originally introduced when
$GIT_DIR/config was the only config file git could read (back
when "git config" was "git repo-config"), so the function is
renamed to "read_git_config" instead of "read_repo_config".

When recording the revisions that it has merged, SVN sets the top
revision to be the latest revision in the repository, which is not
necessarily a revision on the branch that is being merged from. When
it is not on the branch, git-svn fails to add the extra parent to
represent the merge because it relies on finding the commit on the
branch that corresponds to the top of the SVN merge range.
In order to correctly handle this case, we look for the maximum
revision less than or equal to the top of the SVN merge range that is
actually on the branch being merged from.

errors during bisect:]

git-svn: add (failing) test for SVN 1.5+ merge with intervening commit
This test exposes a bug in git-svn's handling of SVN 1.5+ mergeinfo
properties. The problematic case is when there is some commit on an
unrelated branch after the last commit on the merged-from branch.
When SVN records the mergeinfo property, it records the latest
revision in the whole repository, which, in the problematic case, is
not on the branch it is merging from.
To trigger the git-svn bug, we modify t9151 to include two SVN merges,
the second of which has an intervening commit. The SVN dump was
generated using SVN 1.6.6 (on Debian squeeze amd64).

In theory it is possible for sideband channel #2 to be delayed if
pack data is quick to come up for sideband channel #1. And because
data for channel #2 is read only 128 bytes at a time while pack data
is read 8192 bytes at a time, it is possible for many pack blocks to
be sent to the client before the progress message fifo is emptied,
making the situation even worse. This would result in totally garbled
progress display on the client's console as local progress gets mixed
with partial remote progress lines.
Let's prevent such situations by giving transmission priority to
progress messages over pack data at all times.

Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing
their usage messages. An option is to change usage() itself also be like
printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn().
But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives
diagnostics depending on the situation. Indeed, the majority of strings
given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings. If we were to
make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have
"%s" as their first argument.
So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use
it.

http-push already knows how to dump usage if it is given no options, but
it interprets '-h' as the URL to a remote repository:
$ git http-push -h
error: Cannot access URL -h/, return code 6
Dump usage instead. Humans wanting to pass the URL -h/ to curl for some
reason can use 'git http-push -h/' explicitly. Scripts expecting to
access an HTTP repository at URL '-h' will break, though.
Also delay finding a git directory until after option parsing, so
"http-push -h" can be used outside any git repository.

This only changes the behavior of "git check-ref-format -h"
without any other options and arguments.
This change cannot be breaking backward compatibility, since any
valid refname must contain a /. Most existing scripts use
arguments such as "heads/$foo". If some script checks the
refname "-h" alone, git check-ref-format will still exit with
nonzero status, and the only detrimental side-effect will be a
usage string sent to stderr.

This only changes the behavior of "git show-ref -h" without any
other options and arguments.
"show-ref -h" currently is short for "show-ref --head", which
shows all the refs/* and HEAD, as opposed to "show-ref" that
shows all the refs/* and not HEAD.
Does anybody use "show-ref -h"? It was in Linus's original, most
likely only because "it might be handy", not because "the command
should not show the HEAD by default for such and such reasons".
So I think it is okay if "show-ref -h" (but not "show-ref
--head") gives help and exits.
If a current script uses "git show-ref -h" without any other
arguments, it would have to be adapted by changing "-h" to
"--head".

This change is strictly about 'git merge-ours -h' without
any other options and arguments.
This change cannot break compatibility since merge drivers are
always passed '--', among other arguments.

Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than a "Not a
valid object name" error.
"commit-tree -h" could be asking to create a new commit from a
treeish named "-h". Strictly speaking, such a pathological ref
name is possible, but the user would have to had said something
like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological already. commit-tree
is usually used in scripts with raw object ids, anyway.
For consistency, the "-h" option uses its new meaning even if
followed by other arguments.

Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than an
"Unknown commit -h" error.
"cherry -h" could be asking to compare histories that leads to
our HEAD and a commit that can be named as "-h". Strictly
speaking, that may be a valid refname, but the user would have to
say something like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological ref
already, so it is not such a big deal.
The "-h" option keeps its meaning even if preceded by other
options or followed by other arguments. This keeps the
command-line syntax closer to what parse_options would give and
supports shell aliases like 'alias cherry="git cherry -v"' a
little better.

Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat
plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the
command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would
suppress the stat and show just the patch.
Commit 68daa64 changed this to keep the stat format when we
had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side
effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now
ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason
that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse).
This patch unbreaks what 68daa64 did (while still preserving
what 68daa64 was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress
the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves
in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly.
