If we see an empty name, we complain about and mention the
matching email in the error message (to give it some
context). However, the "email" pointer may be NULL here if
we were planning to fill it in later from ident_default_email().
This was broken by 59f929596 (fmt_ident: refactor strictness
checks, 2016-02-04). Prior to that commit, we would look up
the default name and email before doing any other actions.
So one solution would be to go back to that.
However, we can't just do so blindly. The logic for handling
the "!email" condition has grown since then. In particular,
looking up the default email can die if getpwuid() fails,
but there are other errors that should take precedence.
Commit 734c7789a (ident: check for useConfigOnly before
auto-detection of name/email, 2016-03-30) reordered the
checks so that we prefer the error message for
useConfigOnly.
Instead, we can observe that while the name-handling depends
on "email" being set, the reverse is not true. So we can
simply set up the email variable first.
This does mean that if both are bogus, we'll complain about
the email before the name. But between the two, there is no
reason to prefer one over the other.

The `perforce` and `perforce-server` package were moved from brew [1][2]
to cask [3]. Teach TravisCI the new location.
Perforce updates their binaries without version bumps. That made the
brew install (legitimately!) fail due to checksum mismatches. The
workaround is not necessary anymore as Cask [4] allows to disable the
checksum test for individual formulas.

When looking for documentation for a specific function, you may be tempted
to run
git -C Documentation grep index_name_pos
only to find the file technical/api-in-core-index.txt, which doesn't
help for understanding the given function. It would be better to not find
these functions in the documentation, such that people directly dive into
the code instead.
In the previous patches we have documented
* index_name_pos()
* remove_index_entry_at()
* add_[file_]to_index()
in cache.h
We already have documentation for:
* add_index_entry()
* read_index()
Which leaves us with a TODO for:
* cache -> the_index macros
* refresh_index()
* discard_index()
* ie_match_stat() and ie_modified(); how they are different and when to
use which.
* write_index() that was renamed to write_locked_index
* cache_tree_invalidate_path()
* cache_tree_update()

The version of the "replace isatty() hack" that got merged a few
weeks ago did not actually reflect the latest iteration of the patch
series: v3 was sent out with these changes, as requested by the
reviewer Johannes Sixt:
- reworded the comment about "recycling handles"
- moved the reassignment of the `console` variable before the dup2()
call so that it is valid at all times
- removed the "handle = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE" assignment, as the local
variable `handle` is not used afterwards anyway
