Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects.
This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in
an ongoing operation.
This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects
which are older than a certain time. For example, by
git prune --expire 14.days
you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable
and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated).
The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime,
because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and
omitting the test when the platform does not support that
command line switch).

Occasionally, in some setups (*cough* forks on repo.or.cz *cough*) some
refs go stale, e.g. when the forkee rebased and lost some objects needed
by the fork. The quick & dirty way to deal with those refs is to delete
them and push them again.
However, git-push first would first fetch the current commit name for the
ref, would receive a null sha1 since the ref does not point to a valid
object, then tell receive-pack that it should delete the ref with this
commit name. delete_ref() would be subsequently be called, and check that
resolve_ref() (which does _not_ check for validity of the object) returns
the same commit name. Which would fail.
The proper fix is to avoid corrupting repositories, but in the meantime
this is a good fix in any case.
Incidentally, some instances of "cd .." in the test cases were fixed, so
that subsequent test cases run in t/trash/ irrespective of the outcome of
the previous test cases.

Operations that walk directories or trees, which potentially need to
consult the .gitignore files, used to always try to open the .gitignore
file every time they entered a new directory, even when they ended up
not needing to call excluded() function to see if a path in the
directory is ignored. This was done by push/pop exclude_per_directory()
functions that managed the data in a stack.
This changes the directory walking API to remove the need to call these
two functions. Instead, the directory walk data structure caches the
data used by excluded() function the last time, and lazily reuses it as
much as possible. Among the data the last check used, the ones from
deeper directories that the path we are checking is outside are
discarded, data from the common leading directories are reused, and then
the directories between the common directory and the directory the path
being checked is in are checked for .gitignore file. This is very
similar to the way gitattributes are handled.
This API change also fixes "ls-files -c -i", which called excluded()
without setting up the gitignore data via the old push/pop functions.

When you have a file called HEAD in your work tree, many commands that
our scripts feed "HEAD" to would complain about the rev vs path
ambiguity. A solution is to form command line more carefully by
appending -- to them, which makes it clear that we mean HEAD rev not
HEAD file.
This patch would apply to maint.

The old way of fixing warnings did not succeed on MinGW. MinGW
does not support C99 printf format strings for size_t [1]. But
gcc on MinGW issues warnings if C99 printf format is not used.
Hence, the old stragegy to avoid warnings fails.

The helper functions 'map' and 'skip_commit' were provided to commit
filters by sourcing filter-branch itself. This was done with a certain
environment variable set to indicate that only the functions should be
defined, and the script should return then.
This was really hacky, and it did not work all that well, since the
full path to git-filter-branch was not known at all times.
Avoid that by putting the functions into a variable, and eval'ing
that variable. The commit filter gets these functions by prepending
the variable to the specified commands.

When you cherry-pick or revert a commit, naming it with an annotated
tag, we added a comment, attempting to repeat what we got from the end
user, to the message.
But this was inconsistent. When we got "cherry-pick branch", we
recorded the object name (40-letter SHA-1) without saying anything like
"original was 'branch'". There was no need to. Also recent rewrite to
use parse-options made it impossible to parrot the original command line
without "unparsing".
This removes the code that implements the misguided "we dereferenced the
tag so record that in the commit message" behaviour.
