The "git branch" command, while not in listing mode, calls create_branch()
even when the target branch already exists, and it does so even when it is
not interested in updating the value of the branch (i.e. the name of the
commit object that sits at the tip of the existing branch). This happens
when the command is run with "--set-upstream" option.
The earlier safety-measure to prevent "git branch -f $branch $commit" from
updating the currently checked out branch did not take it into account,
and we no longer can update the tracking information of the current branch.
Minimally fix this regression by telling the validation code if it is
called to really update the value of a potentially existing branch, or if
the caller merely is interested in updating auxiliary aspects of a branch.

What should happen if you run this command?
$ git ls-remote -h
It does not give a short-help for the command. Instead because "-h" is a
synonym for "--heads", it runs "git ls-remote --heads", and because there
is no remote specified on the command line, we run it against the default
"origin" remote, hence end up doing the same as
$ git ls-remote --heads origin
Fix this counter-intuitive behaviour by special casing a lone "-h" that
does not have anything else on the command line and calling usage().

'git remote rename' will only update the remote's fetch refspec if it

When renaming a remote whose name is contained in a configured fetch
refspec for that remote, we currently replace the first occurrence of
the remote name in the refspec. This is correct in most cases, but
breaks if the remote name occurs in the fetch refspec before the
expected place. For example, we currently change
[remote "remote"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/remote/*
into
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

The "git fetch" command works in two phases. The remote side tells us what
objects are at the tip of the refs we are fetching from, and transfers the
objects missing from our side. After storing the objects in our repository,
we update our remote tracking branches to point at the updated tips of the
refs.
A broken or malicious remote side could send a perfectly well-formed pack
data during the object transfer phase, but there is no guarantee that the
given data actually fill the gap between the objects we originally had and
the refs we are updating to.
Although this kind of breakage can be caught by running fsck after a
fetch, it is much cheaper to verify that everything that is reachable from
the tips of the refs we fetched are indeed fully connected to the tips of
our current set of refs before we update them.

doing that after the actual fetch of the superproject was too late.

Generally the format of a git tag or commit message is:
subject
body body body
body body body
However, we occasionally see multiline subjects like:
subject
with multiple
lines
body body body
body body body
The rest of git treats these multiline subjects as something
to be concatenated and shown as a single line (e.g., "git
log --pretty=format:%s" will do so since f53bd74). For
consistency, for-each-ref should do the same with its

The find_subpos function was a little hard to use, as well
as to read. It would sometimes write into the subject and
body pointers, and sometimes not. The body pointer sometimes
could be compared to subject, and sometimes not. When
actually duplicating the subject, the caller was forced to
figure out again how long the subject is (which is not too
big a deal when the subject is a single line, but hard to
extend).
The refactoring makes the function more straightforward, both
to read and to use. We will always put something into the
subject and body pointers, and we return explicit lengths
for them, too.
This lays the groundwork both for more complex subject
parsing (e.g., multiline), as well as splitting the body
into subparts (like the text versus the signature).

The current explanation of -e can be misread as allowing the user to say
I know 'git clean -XYZ' (substitute -XYZ with any option and/or
parameter) will remove paths A, B, and C, and I want them all removed
except for paths matching this pattern by adding '-e C' to the same
command line, i.e. 'git clean -e C -XYZ'.
But that is not what this option does. It augments the set of ignore rules
from the command line, just like the same "-e <pattern>" argument does
with the "ls-files" command (the user could probably pass "-e \!C" to tell
the command to clean everything the command would normally remove, except
for C). Also error out when both -x and -e are given with an explanation of
what -e means---it is a symptom of misunderstanding what -e does.
It also fixes small style nit in the parameter to add_exclude() call. The

Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:
- If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.
- An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
repository.
This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch
which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset
normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog
in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it).
"git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this
bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its
task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this
manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD.
"git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with
a fatal error.
Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the
same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from
updating the current branch.

All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:
1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).
2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
defaults it to off.
This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,

For "git config --get-colorbool color.foo", we use a custom
callback that looks not only for the key that the user gave
us, but also for "diff.color" (for backwards compatibility)
and "color.ui" (as a fallback).
For the former, we use a custom variable to store the
diff.color value. For the latter, though, we store it in the
main "git_use_color_default" variable, turning on color.ui
for any other parts of git that respect this value.
In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because git-config
runs without caring about git_use_color_default, and then
exits. But it crosses module boundaries in an unusual and
confusing way, and it makes refactoring color handling
harder than it needs to be.
