Years of muscle memory have trained users to use "git reset --hard" to
remove the branch state after any sort operation. Make it also remove
the sequencer state to facilitate this established workflow:
$ git cherry-pick foo..bar
... conflict encountered ...
$ git reset --hard # Oops, I didn't mean that
$ git cherry-pick quux..bar
... cherry-pick succeeded ...
Guard against accidental removal of the sequencer state by providing
one level of "undo". In the first "reset" invocation,
".git/sequencer" is moved to ".git/sequencer-old"; it is completely
removed only in the second invocation.

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.

Normalize the path arguments (relative to the working tree root, if
applicable) before looking up their attributes. This requires passing
the prefix down the call chain.
This fixes two test cases for different reasons:
* "unnormalized paths" is fixed because the .gitattribute-file-seeking
code is not confused into reading the top-level file twice.
* "relative paths" is fixed because the canonical pathnames are passed
to get_check_attr() or get_all_attrs(), allowing them to match the
pathname patterns as expected.

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.

To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or
revert invocation, introduce a new subcommand called "--reset" to
remove the sequencer state.
Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a
generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series. Introducing this public API
is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out
functions from revert.c into a generic commit sequencer.

Apart from its central objective of calling into the picking
mechanism, pick_commits creates a sequencer directory, prepares a todo
list, and even acts upon the "--reset" subcommand. This makes for a
bad API since the central worry of callers is to figure out whether or
not any conflicts were encountered during the cherry picking. The
current API is like:
if (pick_commits(opts) < 0)
print "Something failed, we're not sure what"
So, change pick_commits so that it's only responsible for picking
commits in a loop and reporting any errors, leaving the rest to a new
function called pick_revisions. Consequently, the API of pick_commits
becomes much clearer:
act_on_subcommand(opts->subcommand);
todo_list = prepare_todo_list();
if (pick_commits(todo_list, opts) < 0)
print "Error encountered while picking commits"
Now, callers can easily call-in to the cherry-picking machinery by
constructing an arbitrary todo list along with some options.

Ever since v1.7.2-rc1~4^2~7 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than
one commit, 2010-06-02), a single invocation of "git cherry-pick" or
"git revert" can perform picks of several individual commits. To
implement features like "--continue" to continue the whole operation,
we will need to store some information about the state and the plan at
the beginning. Introduce a ".git/sequencer/head" file to store this
state, and ".git/sequencer/todo" file to store the plan. The head
file contains the SHA-1 of the HEAD before the start of the operation,
and the todo file contains an instruction sheet whose format is
inspired by the format of the "rebase -i" instruction sheet. As a
result, a typical todo file looks like:
pick 8537f0e submodule add: test failure when url is not configured
pick 4d68932 submodule add: allow relative repository path
pick f22a17e submodule add: clean up duplicated code
pick 59a5775 make copy_ref globally available
Since SHA-1 hex is abbreviated using an find_unique_abbrev(), it is
unambiguous. This does not guarantee that there will be no ambiguity
when more objects are added to the repository.
These two files alone are not enough to implement a "--continue" that
remembers the command-line options specified; later patches in the
series save them too.
These new files are unrelated to the existing .git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD,
which will still be useful while committing after a conflict
resolution.

The "--ff" command-line option cannot be used with some other
command-line options. However, parse_args still parses these
incompatible options into a replay_opts structure for use by the rest
of the program. Although pick_commits, the current gatekeeper to the
cherry-pick machinery, checks the validity of the replay_opts
structure before before starting its operation, there will be multiple
entry points to the cherry-pick machinery in future. To futureproof
the code and catch these errors in one place, make sure that an
invalid replay_opts structure is not created by parse_args in the
first place. We still check the replay_opts structure for validity in
pick_commits, but this is an assert() now to emphasize that it's the
caller's responsibility to get it right.

Currently, revert_or_cherry_pick sets up a default git config, parses
command-line arguments, before preparing to pick commits. This makes
for a bad API as the central worry of callers is to assert whether or
not a conflict occured while cherry picking. The current API is like:
if (revert_or_cherry_pick(argc, argv, opts) < 0)
print "Something failed, we're not sure what"
Simplify and rename revert_or_cherry_pick to pick_commits so that it
only has the responsibility of setting up the revision walker and
picking commits in a loop. Transfer the remaining work to its
callers. Now, the API is simplified as:
if (parse_args(argc, argv, opts) < 0)
print "Can't parse arguments"
if (pick_commits(opts) < 0)
print "Error encountered in picking machinery"
Later in the series, pick_commits will also serve as the starting
point for continuing a cherry-pick or revert.

The current code uses a set of file-scope static variables to tell the
cherry-pick/ revert machinery how to replay the changes, and
initializes them by parsing the command-line arguments. In later
steps in this series, we would like to introduce an API function that
calls into this machinery directly and have a way to tell it what to
do. Hence, introduce a structure to group these variables, so that
the API can take them as a single replay_options parameter. The only
exception is the variable "me" -- remove it since it not an
independent option, and can be inferred from the action.
Unfortunately, this patch introduces a minor regression. Parsing
strategy-option violates a C89 rule: Initializers cannot refer to
variables whose address is not known at compile time. Currently, this
rule is violated by some other parts of Git as well, and it is
possible to get GCC to report these instances using the "-std=c89
-pedantic" option.

Functions which act on commits currently rely on a file-scope static
variable to be set before they're called. Consequently, the API and
corresponding callsites are ugly and unclear. Remove this variable
and change their API to accept the commit to act on as additional
argument so that the callsites change from looking like
commit = prepare_a_commit();
act_on_commit();
to looking like
commit = prepare_a_commit();
act_on_commit(commit);
This change is also in line with our long-term goal of exposing some

corresponding to this option is named "no_replay" for historical

The only place get_encoding uses the global "commit" variable is when
writing an error message explaining that its lone argument was NULL.
Since the function's only caller ensures that a NULL argument isn't
passed, we can remove this check with two beneficial consequences:
1. Since the function doesn't use the global "commit" variable any
more, it won't need to change when we eliminate the global variable
later in the series.
2. Translators no longer need to localize an error message that will
never be shown.

The add_message_to_msg function has some dead code, an unclear API,

doesn't do this -- a bug introduced in v1.5.1-rc1~65^2~2 (Make
git-revert & git-cherry-pick a builtin, 2007-03-01). Today, tests in
t3505-cherry-pick-empty.sh indicate that not filling up an empty
commit message is the desired behavior. Re-implement and inline the
function accordingly, with a beneficial side-effect: don't dereference
a NULL pointer when the commit doesn't have a delimeter after the
header.
