"empty ident not allowed" error makes commit-tree fail, so we
are already safer in that we would not end up with commit
objects that have bogus names on the author or committer fields.
However, before commit-tree is called there are already changes
made to the index file and the working tree. The operation can
be resumed after fixing the environment problem, but when this
triggers to a newcomer with unusable gecos, the first question
becomes "what did I lose and how would I recover".
This patch modifies some Porcelainish commands to verify
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT as soon as we know we are going to make some
commits before doing much damage to prevent confusion.

Now all the users of this script detect its exit status and die,
complaining that it is outside git repository. So move the code
that dies from all callers to git-sh-setup script.

This uses the git-update-ref command in scripts for safer updates.
Also places where we used to read HEAD ref by using "cat" were fixed
to use git-rev-parse. This will matter when we start using symbolic
references.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

On NetBSD 3 we trigger an error:
[: ==: unexpected operator
Double-equal is accepted by bash built-in '[' and bash(1) suggests
using '=' for strict POSIX compliance (test(1) from coreutils does not
mention '=='). Eradicate their uses everywhere.
[jc: Somebody with a pseudonym kindly sent a message to let
me know about the problem privately; I do not have access to a NetBSD
box.]

The merge-base command acquires a new option, '--all', that causes it
to output all the common ancestor candidates. The "git resolve"
command then uses it to pick the optimum merge base by picking the one
that results in the smallest number of nontrivial merges.

Recent change to make sure we get commit, not tag, accidentally
removed its feature of giving a usage help message when it died.

You can resolve a tag, and it does the right thing except that it might
end up writing the tag itself into the resulting HEAD, which will confuse
subsequent operations no end.
This makes sure that when we resolve two heads, we will have turned them
into proper commits before we start acting on them.
This also fixes the parsing of "treeish^0", which would incorrectly
resolve to "treeish" instead of causing an error.

It used to do "Merge $3" as the message, but that ends up being
inconvenient, and much more easily done inside git-pull-script instead.
This makes the third argument to "git resolve" much easier to explain.
It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper
functions (currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like
a git archive. So use it something like
. git-sh-setup-script || die "Not a git archive"
to make the rest of the git scripts more careful and readable.
We codify the following different heads (in addition to the main "HEAD",
which points to the current branch, of course):
- FETCH_HEAD
Populated by "git fetch"
- ORIG_HEAD
The old HEAD before a "git pull/resolve" (successful or not)
- LAST_MERGE
The HEAD we're currently merging in "git pull/resolve"
- MERGE_HEAD
The previous head of a unresolved "git pull", which gets committed by
a "git commit" after manually resolving the result
We used to have "MERGE_HEAD" be populated directly by the fetch, and we
removed ORIG_HEAD and LAST_MERGE too aggressively.
Make git-resolve-script only write MERGE_HEAD if a merge actually
occurred. All merge failures leave ORIG_HEAD and LAST_MERGE
behind (instead of ORIG_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).
Use git-rev-parse to expand arguments (and check for bad ones).

Fix permissions, and add trivial "reset" and "add" scripts.
The "reset" script just resets the index back to head, while the "add"
script is just a crutch for people used to do "cvs add".
Add a "-u" flag to update the tree as a result of a merge.
Right now this code is way too anal about things, and fails merges it
shouldn't, but let me fix up the different cases and this will allow for
much smoother merging even in the presense of dirty data in the working
tree.
We don't want to overwrite state that we haven't committed yet
when merging, so it's better to make git-read-tree fail than
end up with a merge tree that ends up not having the dirty changes.
Update git-resolve-script to fail cleanly when git-read-tree fails.
During the mailing list discussion on renaming GIT_ environment
variables, people felt that having one environment that lets the
user (or Porcelain) specify both SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY (now
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY) and GIT_INDEX_FILE for the default layout
would be handy. This change introduces GIT_DIR environment
variable, from which the defaults for GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY are derived. When GIT_DIR is not defined,
it defaults to ".git". GIT_INDEX_FILE defaults to
"$GIT_DIR/index" and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY defaults to
"$GIT_DIR/objects".
Special thanks for ideas and discussions go to Petr Baudis and
Daniel Barkalow. Bugs are mine ;-)

Separate out the merge resolve from the actual getting of the
data. Also, update the resolve phase to take advantage of the
fact that we don't need to do the commit->tree object lookup
by hand, since all the actors involved happily just act on a
commit object these days.
