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.

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.

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.

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.

The functionality for helpers is already there; we just need
to give the users a way to turn it on.

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.

t7400: fix bogus test failure with symlinked trash
Documentation: clarify the invalidated tree entry format
One of the tests in t7400 fails if the trash directory has a
symlink anywhere in its path. E.g.:
$ mkdir /tmp/git-test
$ mkdir /tmp/git-test/real
$ ln -s real /tmp/git-test/link
$ ./t7400-submodule-basic --root=/tmp/git-test/real
...
# passed all 44 test(s)
$ ./t7400-submodule-basic --root=/tmp/git-test/link
...
not ok - 41 use superproject as upstream when path is relative and no url is set there
The failing test does:
git submodule add ../repo relative &&
...
git submodule sync relative &&
test "$(git config submodule.relative.url)" = "$submodurl/repo"
where $submodurl comes from the $TRASH_DIRECTORY the user
gave us. However, git will resolve symlinks when converting
the relative path into an absolute one, leading them to be
textually different (even though they point to the same
directory).
Fix this by asking pwd to canonicalize the name of the trash
directory for us.

On modern multi-core processors "make test" is often run in multiple jobs.
If one of them fails the test run does stop, but the concurrently running
tests finish their run. It is rather easy to find out which test failed by
doing a "ls -d t/trash*". But that only works when you don't use the "-i"
option to "make test" because you want to get an overview of all failing
tests. In that case all thrash directories are deleted end and the
information which tests failed is lost.
If one or more tests failed, print a list of them before the test summary:
failed test(s): t1000 t6500
fixed 0
success 7638
failed 3
broken 49
total 7723
This makes it possible to just run the test suite with -i and collect all
failed test scripts at the end for further examination.
