Git on Windows was made aware of the fact that sometimes a file may be
used by another process and so an operation may fail but the user might
be able to fix it and is asking for confirmation whether it should
retry.
This is implemented in a way that git only asks in case stdin and stderr
are attached to a tty. Unfortunately this seems to be misdetected
sometimes causing the testsuite to hang when git is waiting for a user
answer.
This patch works around the situation.

In git-send-email.perl, here are two checks to determine if
$smtp_server is an absolute path (so it'll be treated as a mailer) or
not (so it'll be treated as a hostname). The one that handles actual
mail processing has been taught to recognize Windows pathnames by
commit 33b2e81f.
The other check is just to tell the user what happened, so it's far
less important, but the current state is that we will still claim to
the user that c:/foo/bar is a server. =) This makes the second check
consistent with the first.

For a long time, this developer thought that Git's insistence that
pushing into the current branch is evil was completely merited.
Just for fun, the original patch tried to show people that Git is right
there, and that it causes more trouble than it does good when Git allows
you to try to update the working tree for fast-forwards, or to detach the
HEAD, depending on some config settings.
Surprisingly, the opposite was shown.
So here is the support for two new options you can give the config
variable receive.denyCurrentBranch:
'updateInstead':
Try to merge the working tree with the new tip of the branch
(which can lead to really horrible merge conflicts).
'detachInstead':
Detach the HEAD, thereby avoiding a disagreement between the
HEAD and the index (as well as the working tree), possibly
leaving the local user wondering how on earth her HEAD became
so detached.

On Windows, there are dramatic problems when a command line grows
beyond PATH_MAX, which is restricted to 8191 characters on XP and
later (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473).
Work around this by just cutting off the command line at that length
(actually, at a space boundary) in the hope that only negative
refs are chucked: gitk will then do unnecessary work, but that is
still better than flashing the gitk window and exiting with exit
status 5 (which no Windows user is able to make sense of).
The first fix caused Tcl to fail to compile the regexp, see msysGit issue
427. Here is another fix without using regexp, and using a more relaxed
command line length limit to fix the original issue 387.

At least for cross-platform projects, it makes sense to hide the
files starting with a dot, as this is the behavior on Unix/MacOSX.
However, at least Eclipse has problems interpreting the hidden flag
correctly, so the default is to hide only the .git/ directory.
The config setting core.hideDotFiles therefore supports not only
'true' and 'false', but also 'dotGitOnly'.
[jes: clarified the commit message, made git init respect the setting
by marking the .git/ directory only after reading the config, and added
documentation, and rebased on top of current junio/next]

Many pathnames in a fast-import stream need to be quoted. In
particular:
1. Pathnames at the end of an "M" or "D" line need quoting
if they contain a LF or start with double-quote.
2. Pathnames on a "C" or "R" line need quoting as above,
but also if they contain spaces.
For (1), we weren't quoting at all. For (2), we put
double-quotes around the paths to handle spaces, but ignored
the possibility that they would need further quoting.
This patch checks whether each pathname needs c-style
quoting, and uses it. This is slightly overkill for (1),
which doesn't actually need to quote many characters that
vanilla c-style quoting does. However, it shouldn't hurt, as
any implementation needs to be ready to handle quoted
strings anyway.
In addition to adding a test, we have to tweak a test which
blindly assumed that case (2) would always use
double-quotes, whether it needed to or not.

Add option hooks.diffopts to customize change summary in post-receive-email
Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing
blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of
special characters. Some manpages make a list of examples, like:
git foo::
Run git foo.
git foo -q::
Use the "-q" option.
to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to
read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for
example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be
difficult).
This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the
equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without
character interpretation).
As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which
"git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list,
and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

The combined diff machinery can be used to compare:
- a merge commit with its parent commits;
- a working-tree file with multiple stages in an unmerged index; or
- a working-tree file with the HEAD and the index.
The internal function combine-diff.c:show_patch_diff() checked if it needs
to read the "result" from the working tree by looking at the object name
of the result --- if it is null_sha1, it read from the working tree.
This mistook a merge that records a deletion as the conflict resolution
as if it is a cue to read from the working tree. Pass this information
explicitly from the caller instead.

This is like "cache", except that we actually put the
credentials on disk. This can be terribly insecure, of
course, but we do what we can to protect them by filesystem
permissions, and we warn the user in the documentation.
This is not unlike using .netrc to store entries, but it's a
little more user-friendly. Instead of putting credentials in
place ahead of time, we transparently store them after
prompting the user for them once.

If you access repositories over smart-http using http
authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you
for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in
memory, of course, but git is composed of many small
programs. Having to input your password for each one can be
frustrating.
This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache
passwords in memory for a short period of time.

When an http request receives a 401, we ask the user for
both a username and password. While it's generally not a
good idea for us to store the password in plaintext, having
to input the username each time is annoying, and can be
easily solved with a config variable.
This patch teaches the credential subsystem to look up items
in the git config file before prompting. Items are indexed
by the "unique" token passed to the credential system.

This patch converts the http code to use the new credential
API, both for http authentication as well as for getting
certificate passwords.
Most of the code change is simply variable naming (the
passwords are now contained inside a struct). The biggest
change is determining a "unique" context to pass to the
credential API. This patch uses "http:$host" for http
authentication and "cert:$file" for opening certificate
files.
We pass an empty list of methods to the credential API,
which means that we will use the internal credential_getpass
function. This should yield no behavior change, except that
we now print "Password for 'certificate':" instead of
"Certificate Password:" when asking for certificate
passwords.

There are a few places in git that need to get a username
and password credential from the user; the most notable one
is HTTP authentication for smart-http pushing.
Right now the only choices for providing credentials are to
put them plaintext into your ~/.netrc, or to have git prompt
you (either on the terminal or via an askpass program). The
former is not very secure, and the latter is not very
convenient.
Unfortunately, there is no "always best" solution for
password management. The details will depend on the tradeoff
you want between security and convenience, as well as how
git can integrate with other security systems (e.g., many
operating systems provide a keychain or password wallet for
single sign-on).
This patch abstracts the notion of gathering user
credentials into a few simple functions. These functions can
be backed by our internal git_getpass implementation (which
just prompts the user), or by external helpers which are
free to consult system-specific password wallets, make
custom policy decisions on password caching and storage, or
prompt the user in a non-traditional manner.
The helper protocol aims for simplicity of helper
implementation; see the newly added documentation for
details.
