When we are on a detached HEAD, there is no current branch.
There is no reason to leak the error messages to the end user
since this is a situation we expect to see.
This adds -q option to git-symbolic-ref to exit without issuing
an error message if the given name is not a symbolic ref.
By the way, with or without this patch, there currently is no
good way to tell failure modes between "git symbolic-ref HAED"
and "git symbolic-ref HEAD". Both says "is not a symbolic ref".

We really want to always favor an annotated tag over a lightweight
tag when describing a commit. Unfortunately git-describe wasn't
doing this as it was favoring the depth attribute of a possible_tag
over the priority. Now priority is the highest sort and we only
consider a lightweight tag if no annotated tags were identified.
Rather than searching for the minimum tag using a simple loop we
now sort them using a stable sort algorithm, this way the possible
tags display in order if --debug gets used. The stable sort helps
to preseve the inherit topology/date order that we obtain during
our search loop.
This fix allows the tests in t6120-describe.sh to pass.

My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably
sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify
a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the
revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the
best tag to describe the input commit.
All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision
which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during
the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to
each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us
to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited
space available within the flags field of struct commit.
The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a
problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance
releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the
development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that
does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of
using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development
trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested
workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip.
However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a
description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but
offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible
matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose
10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more
than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before
retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the
same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe.
A large amount of debugging information was also added during
the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled
on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them
understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another.

If a project has a really huge number of tags (such as several
thousand tags) then we are likely to have nearly a hundred tags in
some buckets. Scanning those buckets as linked lists could take
a large amount of time if done repeatedly during history traversal.
Since we are searching for a unique commit SHA1 we can sort all
tags by commit SHA1 and perform a binary search within the bucket.
Once we identify a particular tag as matching this commit we walk
backwards within the bucket matches to make sure we pick up the
highest priority tag for that commit, as the binary search may
have landed us in the middle of a set of tags which point at the
same commit.

If a project has a very large number of tags then git-describe
will spend a good part of its time looping over the tags testing
them one at a time to determine if it matches a given commit.
For 10 tags this is not a big deal, but for hundreds of tags the
time could become considerable if we don't find an exact match for
the input commit and we need to walk back along the history chain.

Now that we are showing the output messages for verbosity levels

Because large merges on slow systems can take up to a minute to
execute we should try to keep the user entertained with a progress
meter to let them know how far we have progressed through the
current merge.
The progress meter considers each entry in the in-memory index to
be a unit, which means a single recursive merge will double the
number of units in the progress meter. Files which are unmerged
after the 3-way tree merge are also considered a unit within the
progress meter.

Buffering all message output until a merge invocation is complete is
necessary to prevent intereferring with a progress meter that would
indicate the number of files completely merged, and how many remain.
This change does not introduce a progress meter, but merely lays
the groundwork to buffer the output.
To aid debugging output buffering is only enabled if verbosity
is lower than 5. When using verbosity levels above 5 the user is
probably debugging the merge program itself and does not want to
see the output delayed, especially if they are stepping through
portions of the code in a debugger.

Because the output_indent always matches the call_depth value

The following commands can reuse log message from an existing

git-cherry-pick
git-rebase (both with and without --merge)
git-commit (-c and -C)
When the original commit was made in a different encoding from
the current i18n.commitencoding, "cat-file commit" would give a
string that is inconsistent with what the resulting commit will
claim to be in. Replace them with "git show -s --encoding".
"git-rebase" without --merge is "git format-patch" piped to "git
am" in essence, and has been taken care of before this commit.

correctly.

With the new-and-improved write_in_full() semantics, where a partial write
simply always returns a real error (and always sets 'errno' when that
happens, including for the disk full case), a lot of the callers of
write_in_full() were just unnecessarily complex.
In particular, there's no reason to ever check for a zero length or
return: if the length was zero, we'll return zero, otherwise, if a disk
full resulted in the actual write() system call returning zero the
write_in_full() logic would have correctly turned that into a negative
return value, with 'errno' set to ENOSPC.
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0"
now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones.
