We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name
ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not
appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will
its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all".
In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause
repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a
ref are deleted by "git prune".
It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix.
In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches";
you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output.

Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be
surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present. This is
necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand
arguments that look like glob patterns. "Normal" Windows command line
utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are
different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care
of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg().
But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments
between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word.
With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain
single-quotes.
This lets t4252 pass on Windows.

On a 32-bit system, the maximum possible size for an object is less than
4GB, while 64-bit systems may cope with larger objects. Due to this
limitation, variables holding object sizes are using an unsigned long
type (32 bits on 32-bit systems, or 64 bits on 64-bit systems).
When large objects are encountered, and/or people play with large delta
depth values, it is possible for the maximum allowed delta size
computation to overflow, especially on a 32-bit system. When this
occurs, surviving result bits may represent a value much smaller than
what it is supposed to be, or even zero. This prevents some objects
from being deltified although they do get deltified when a smaller depth
limit is used. Fix this by always performing a 64-bit multiplication.

This changes the rules for refnames to forbid:
(1) a refname that contains "@{" in it.
Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches
as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it.
However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster. It cannot even
checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as
"detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch".
(2) a refname that ends with a dot.
We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily
to avoid ambiguous range interpretation. If we allowed ".B" as a
valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or
"either in A or B but not in both".
But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in
B but not in A-dot". This was not a problem in the original range
notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot
notation was introduced.
Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this
rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component",
because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can
say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B".
For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these
names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some
time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or
by accident.
To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover,
we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow
"branch -m bad. good" to rename them.

These allow you to say "git checkout @{-2}" to switch to the branch two
"branch switching" ago by pretending as if you typed the name of that
branch. As it is likely that we will be introducing more short-hands to
write the name of a branch without writing it explicitly, rename the
functions from "nth_last_branch" to more generic "branch_name", to prepare
for different semantics.

For example:
git format-patch --numbered-files --stdout --attach HEAD~~
will create two messages with files 1 and 2 attached respectively.
There is no effect when using --numbered-files and --stdout together
without an --attach or --inline, the --numbered-files option will be
ignored. Add a test to show this.

Currently when format-patch is used with --attach or --inline the patch
attachment has the SHA1 of the commit for its filename. This replaces
the SHA1 with the filename used by format-patch when outputting to
files.

--suffix option affects the attachment filename output.

reopen_stdout() usually takes the oneline subject of a commit,
appends the patch suffix, prepends the output directory (if any) and
then reopens stdout as the resulting file. Now the patch filename (the
oneline subject and the patch suffix) is created in
get_patch_filename() and passed to reopen_stdout() which prepends the
output directory and reopens stdout as that file.
The original function to get the oneline description,
get_oneline_for_filename(), has been renamed to get_patch_filename() to
reflect its new functionality.

This specifier represents the sanitized and filename friendly subject
line of a commit. No checks are made against the length of the string,
so users may need to trim the result to the desired length if using as a
filename. This is commonly used by format-patch to massage commit
subjects into filenames and output patches to files.

When the index says that the file in the work tree that corresponds to the
blob object that is used for comparison is known to be unchanged, "diff"
reads from the file and applies convert_to_git(), instead of inflating the
object, to feed the internal diff engine with, because an earlier
benchnark found that it tends to be faster to use this optimization.
However, the index can lie when the path is marked as assume-unchanged.
Disable the optimization for such paths.
