(Just like we did for documentation already)
In the process, we change "non-remote branch" to "branch outside the
refs/remotes/ hierarchy" to avoid the ugly "non-remote-tracking branch".
The new formulation actually corresponds to how the code detects this
case (i.e. prefixcmp(refname, "refs/remotes")).
Also, we use 'remote-tracking branch' in generated merge messages (by
merge an fmt-merge-msg).

cherry-pick will segfault when transplanting a root commit if the --ff
option is used. This happens because the "parent" pointer is set to NULL
when the commit being cherry-picked has no parents. Later, when "parent"
is dereferenced, the cherry-pick segfaults.
Fix this by checking whether "parent" is NULL before dereferencing it and
add a test for this case of cherry-picking a root commit with --ff.

t9350 sets up a commit where a file is both copied and renamed. The output
of fast-export for this commit should look like this:
author ...
committer ...
from :19
C "file2" "file4"
R "file2" "file5"
The order of the two modification lines is derived from the result that
the diff machinery produces.
060df62 (fast-export: Fix output order of D/F changes) inserted a qsort
call that modifies the order of the diff result. Unfortunately, qsort need
not be stable. Therefore, it is possible that the 'R' line appears before
the 'C' line and the resulting fast-import stream is incorrect.

Teach the merge-recursive strategy a --patience option to use the

cherry-picking a patch that reorders functions at the same time as
refactoring them.
To support this, struct merge_options and ll_merge_options gain an
xdl_opts member, so programs can use arbitrary xdiff flags (think
"XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE") in a git-aware merge.

use this.

When 'git fetch' is supplied a single argument, it tries to match it
against a configured remote and then fetch the refs specified by the
named remote's fetchspec. Additionally, or alternatively, if the current
branch has a merge ref configured, and if the name of the remote supplied
to fetch matches the one in the branch's configuration, then git also adds
the merge ref to the list of refs to update.
If the argument to fetch does not specify a named remote, or if the name
supplied does not match the remote configured for the current branch, then
the current branch's merge configuration should not be considered.
git currently mishandles the case when the argument to fetch specifies a
GIT URL(i.e. not a named remote) and the current branch has a configured
merge ref. In this case, fetch should ignore the branch's merge ref and
attempt to fetch from the remote repository's HEAD branch. But, since
fetch only checks _whether_ the current branch has a merge ref configured,
and does _not_ check whether the branch's configured remote matches the
command line argument (until later), it will mistakenly enter the wrong
branch of an 'if' statement and will not fall back to fetch the HEAD branch.
The fetch ends up doing nothing and returns with a successful zero status.
Fix this by comparing the remote repository's name to the branch's remote
name, in addition to whether it has a configured merge ref, sooner, so that
fetch can correctly decide whether the branch's configuration is interesting
or not, and fall back to fetching from the remote's HEAD branch when
appropriate.
This fixes the test in t5510.

When 'git checkout' reports uncommitted changes, it also does so for
submodules.
The default mode is now to look really hard into submodules, not only
for different commits, but also for modified files. Since this can be
pretty expensive when there are a lot (and large) submodules, there is
the diff.ignoreSubmodules option.
Let's respect that setting when 'git checkout' reports the uncommitted
changes, since it does nothing else than a 'git diff --name-status'.

We start the pager too early for several git commands, which results in
the errors sometimes going to the pager rather than show up as errors.
This is often hidden by the fact that we pass in '-X' to less by default,
which causes 'less' to exit for small output, but if you do
export LESS=-S
you can then clearly see the problem by doing
git log --prretty
which shows the error message ("fatal: unrecognized argument: --prretty")
being sent to the pager.
This happens for pretty much all git commands that use USE_PAGER, and then
check arguments separately. But "git diff" does it too early too (even
though it does an explicit setup_pager() call)
This only fixes it for the trivial "git log" family case.

To discover filenames from the --- and +++ lines in a traditional
unified diff, currently "git apply" scans forward for a whitespace
character on each line and stops there. It can't use the whole line
because "diff -u" likes to include timestamps, like so:
--- foo 2000-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500
+++ bar 2010-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500
The whitespace-seeking heuristic works great, even when the tab
has been converted to spaces by some email + copy-and-paste
related corruption.
Except for one problem: if the filename itself contains whitespace,
the inferred filename will be too short.
When Giuseppe ran into this problem, it was for a file creation
patch (for debian/licenses/LICENSE.global BSD-style Chromium).
So one can't use the list of files present in the index to deduce an
appropriate filename (not to mention that way lies madness; see
v0.99~402, 2005-05-31).
Instead, look for a timestamp and use that if present to mark the end
of the filename. If no timestamp is present, the old heuristic is
used, with one exception: the space character \040 is not considered
terminating whitespace any more unless it is followed by a timestamp.
