Even when -l is not given from the command line, the repository
may have the configuration variable core.logallrefupdates set,
or an old-timer might have done ": >.git/logs/refs/heads/new"
before running "git branch new". In these cases, the code gave
an uninitialized msg[] from the stack to be written out as the
reflog message.
This also passes a different message when '-f' option is used.
Saying "git branch -f branch some-commit" is a moral equilvalent
of doing "git-reset some-commit" while on the branch.

If open_packed_git failed it may have been because the packfile
actually exists and is readable, but some sort of verification
did not pass. In this case open_packed_git left pack_fd filled
in, as the file descriptor is valid. We don't want to leak the
file descriptor, nor do we want to allow someone in the future
to use this packed_git.

Matthias Lederhofer identified a race condition where a Git reader
process was able to locate an object in a packed_git index, but
was then preempted while a `git repack -a -d` ran and completed.
By the time the reader was able to seek in the packfile to get the
object data, the packfile no longer existed on disk.
In this particular case the reader process did not attempt to
open the packfile before it was deleted, so it did not already
have the pack_fd field popuplated. With the packfile itself gone,
there was no way for the reader to open it and fetch the data.
I'm fixing the race condition by teaching find_pack_entry to ignore
a packed_git whose packfile is not currently open and which cannot
be opened. If none of the currently known packs can supply the
object, we will return 0 and the caller will decide the object is
not available. If this is the first attempt at finding an object,
the caller will reprepare_packed_git and try again. If it was
the second attempt, the caller will typically return NULL back,
and an error message about a missing object will be reported.
This patch does not address the situation of a reader which is
being starved out by a tight sequence of `git repack -a -d` runs.
In this particular case the reader will try twice, probably fail
both times, and declare the object in question cannot be found.
As it is highly unlikely that a real world `git repack -a -d` can
complete faster than a reader can open a packfile, so I don't think
this is a huge concern.

Because I want to reuse open_packed_git in a context where I don't
want the process to die if the packfile in question is bogus, I'm
changing its behavior to return error("...") rather than die("...")
when it detects something is wrong with the packfile it was given.
Right now we still must die out of use_pack should open_packed_git
fail, as none of use_pack's callers are prepared to handle a failure
from that function.

This updates "git-checkout" to report which branch you are
switching to. Especially for people who do not use __git_ps1
from contrib/completion/git-completion.bash this would give a
friendlier feedback of what is going on, and should make the
reminder message much less scary.
Here is a sample session (the prompt tells which branch I am on).
* I have some local modification and realize that the change deserves
to be on its own new topic branch.
[git.git (master)]$ git diff --stat
git-checkout.sh | 10 ++++++++--
1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
* So I switch to a new branch. I get a listing of local modifications
and assuring "Switched to a new branch" message.
[git.git (master)]$ git checkout -b jc/checkout
M git-checkout.sh
Switched to a new branch "jc/checkout"
* If I switch back to "master", I get essentially the same.
[git.git (jc/checkout)]$ git checkout master
M git-checkout.sh
Switched to branch "master"
* Detaching head would say which commit I am at and reminds me that
I am not on any branch (not that I would detach my HEAD while keeping
precious local changes around in any real-world workflow -- this is
just a sample session).
[git.git (master)]$ git checkout master^
M git-checkout.sh
Note: you are not on any branch and are at commit "master^"
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
* Coming back to an attached state can lose the detached HEAD, so
I get warned and stopped.
[git.git]$ git checkout master
You are not on any branch and switching to branch 'master'
may lose your changes. At this point, you can do one of two things:
(1) Decide it is Ok and say 'git checkout -f master';
(2) Start a new branch from the current commit, by saying
'git checkout -b <branch-name>'.
Leaving your HEAD detached; not switching to branch 'master'.
* Moving around while my HEAD is detached is Ok. I still get the list
of local modifications.
[git.git]$ git checkout master^0
M git-checkout.sh
* The previous step that switched to the tip commit is an obscure but
useful trick. My HEAD is still detached but now it is pointed at by
an existing ref, so I can come back safely.
[git.git]$ git checkout master
M git-checkout.sh
Switched to branch "master"
* And we are back on the "master" branch.
[git.git (master)]$ exit

Recent commit ae1dffcb28 by Junio
changed the way --upload-pack was passed around between clone,
fetch and ls-remote and modified the handling of the command
line parameter parsing.
Unfortunately FreeBSD 6.1 insists that the expression
expr --upload-pack=git-upload-pack : '-[^=]*=\(.*\)'
is illegal, as the --upload-pack option is not supported by their
implementation of expr.
Elsewhere in Git we use z as a leading prefix of both arguments,
ensuring the -- isn't seen by expr.

We used to use lock_any_ref_for_update() because the command
needs to also update HEAD (which is not under refs/, so
lock_ref_sha1() cannot be used). The function however did not
check for refs with illegal characters in them.
Use check_ref_format() to catch malformed refs. For this check,
we specifically do not want to say having less than two levels
in the name is illegal to allow HEAD (and perhaps other special
refs in the future).
