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.

With msysGit the .git directory is supposed to be hidden, unless it is
a bare git repository. Test this.

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.

Make use of the new environment variable GIT_ASK_YESNO to support the
recently implemented fallback in case unlink, rename or rmdir fail for
files in use on Windows. The added dialog will present a yes/no question
to the the user which will currently be used by the windows compat layer
to let the user retry a failed file operation.

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]

Dynamic linking is generally preferred over static linking, and MSVCRT.dll
has been integral part of Windows for a long time.
This also fixes linker warnings for _malloc and _free in zlib.lib, which
seems to be compiled for MSVCRT.dll already.
The DLL version also exports some of the CRT initialization functions,
which are hidden in the static libcmt.lib (e.g. __wgetmainargs, required by
subsequent Unicode patches).

Subsequently we assume that there is only one pack. Currently this is
true only by accident. Pass '-a -d' to repack in order to guarantee that
assumption to hold true.
The prune-packed command is now redundant since repack -d already calls
it.

The FETCH_HEAD refname is supposed to refer to the ref that was fetched
and should be merged. However all fetched refs are written to
.git/FETCH_HEAD in an arbitrary order, and resolve_ref_unsafe simply
takes the first ref as the FETCH_HEAD, which is often the wrong one,
when other branches were also fetched.
The solution is to write the for-merge ref(s) to FETCH_HEAD first.
Then, unless --append is used, the FETCH_HEAD refname behaves as intended.
If the user uses --append, they presumably are doing so in order to
preserve the old FETCH_HEAD.
While we are at it, update an old example in the read-tree documentation
that implied that each entry in FETCH_HEAD only has the object name, which
is not true for quite a while.

The old code was not very complete or robust. Redo it.
This new code should be useful for a few possible additions
in the future:
- support for * and %%n wildcards
- allowing ... inside paths
- representing branch specs (not just client specs)
- tracking changes to views
Mark the remaining 12 tests in t9809 as fixed.
