The RUNTIME_PREFIX mechanism allows us to use the default (absolute) paths
on Windows too. Defining RUNTIME_PREFIX explicitly requests for
translation of paths during runtime, depending on the path to the
executable.
Searching git programs only in the highest priority location is
sufficient. It does not make sense that some of the required
programs are located at the highest priority location but other
programs are picked up from a lower priority exec-path. If
exec-path is overridden a complete set of commands should be
provided, otherwise several different versions could get mixed,
which is likely to cause confusion.
If a user explicitly overrides the default location (by --exec-path
or GIT_EXEC_PATH), we now expect that that all the required
programs are found there. Instead of adding the directories
"argv_exec_path", "getenv(EXEC_PATH_ENVIRONMENT)", and
"system_path(GIT_EXEC_PATH)" to PATH, we now rely on
git_exec_path(), which implements the same order, but only returns
the highest priority location to search for executables.
Accessing only the location with highest priority is also required
for testing executables built with RUNTIME_PREFIX. The call to
system_path() should be avoided if RUNTIME_PREFIX is set and the
executable is not installed at its final destination. Because we
test before installing, we want to avoid calling system_path()
during tests. The modifications brought by this commit avoid
calling system_path(GIT_EXEC_PATH) if a higher-priority location is
provided, which is the case when running the tests.
Programs that use git_config need to find the global configuration.
When runtime prefix computation is enabled, this requires that
git_extract_argv0_path() is called early in the program's main().
This commit adds the necessary calls.
If the user specified the full path to git-upload-pack as the -u option to
"git clone" when cloning a remote repository, and git was not on the default
PATH on the remote machine, git-upload-pack was failing to exec
git-pack-objects.
By making the argv[0] path (if any) available to setup_path(), this will
allow finding the "git" executable in the same directory as
"git-upload-pack". The default built in to exec_cmd.c is to look for "git"
in the ".../libexec/git-core" directory, but it is not installed there (any
longer).
Much the same applies to invoking git-receive-pack from a non-PATH location
using the "--exec" argument to "git push".

This commit moves the code that computes the dirname of argv[0]
from git.c's main() to git_set_argv0_path() and renames the function
to git_extract_argv0_path(). This makes the code in git.c's main
less cluttered, and we can use the dirname computation from other
main() functions too.

This is the first commit of a series that adds support for
relocatable binaries (called RUNTIME_PREFIX). Such binaries can be
moved together with the system configuration files to a different
directory, as long as the relative paths from the binary to the
configuration files stays the same. This functionality is
essential on Windows where we deliver git binaries with an
installer that allows to freely choose the installation location.
The commit series implements RUNTIME_PREFIX only on Windows. The
architecture is such that adding support on Unix should not be too
hard.
This first commits makes all paths relative in the Makefile and
teaches system_path() to add the prefix instead. We used to
compute absolute paths in the Makefile and passed them to C as
defines. We now pass relative paths to C and call system_path() to
add the prefix at runtime.
If RUNTIME_PREFIX is unset we use the static prefix. This will be
the default on Unix. Thus, the behavior is unchanged compared to
the old implementation.
If RUNTIME_PREFIX is set the prefix is computed from the location
of the executable. In this case, system_path() tries to strip
known directories that executables can be located in from the path
of the executable. If the path is successfully stripped it is used
as the prefix. For example, if the executable is
"/msysgit/bin/git" and BINDIR is "bin", then the prefix computed is
"/msysgit".
If the runtime prefix computation fails, we fall back to the static
prefix specified in the makefile. This can be the case if the
executable is not installed at a known location. Note that our
test system sets GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM to tell git to ignore global
configuration files during testing. Hence testing does not trigger
the fall back.
Note that the implementation requires argv0_path to be set to an
absolute path, which is currently the case only on Windows.
argv0_path must point to the directory of the executable. We use
assert() to verify this during debugging. On Windows, the wrapper
for main() (see compat/mingw.h) guarantees that this is the case.
On Unix, further work is required before RUNTIME_PREFIX can be
enabled.
When a file was renamed in one branch, but deleted in the other, one
should expect the index to contain an unmerged entry, namely the
target of the rename. Make it so.

The program calls remote_ls() to get list of files from the server over
HTTP; handle_remote_ls_ctx() is used to parse its response to populate
"struct remote_ls_ctx" that is returned from remote_ls().
The handle_remote_ls_ctx() function assumed that the server returns a
local path in href field, but RFC 4918 (14.7) demand of support full URI
(e.g. "http://localhost:8080/repo.git").
This resulted in push failure (e.g. git-http-push issues a PROPFIND
request to "/repo.git/alhost:8080/repo.git/refs/" to the server).

Consider this sequence of events:
1. Detach HEAD and fire up gitk
2. Call the context menu on some commit. Notice that the last menu entry
says "Detached HEAD: can't reset" and it is disabled.
3. Now checkout some regular branch (e.g. 'master') using the context menu.
4. Call the context menu again on some commit.
Previously, at this point the last menu entry said "Reset master branch
to here", but it was still disabled. With this fix it is now enabled again.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

The program flow of pushing over http is:
- call lock_remote() to issue a DAV_LOCK request to the server to lock
info/refs and branch refs being pushed into; handle_new_lock_ctx() is
used to parse its response to populate "struct remote_lock" that is
returned from lock_remote();
- send objects;
- call unlock_remote() to drop the lock.
The handle_new_lock_ctx() function assumed that the server will use a
lock token in opaquelocktoken URI scheme, which may have been an Ok
assumption under RFC 2518, but under RFC 4918 which obsoletes the older
standard it is not necessarily true.
This resulted in push failure (often resulted in "cannot lock existing
info/refs" error message) when talking to a server that does not use
opaquelocktoken URI scheme.

The output of commitdiff_plain is not intended for git-am:
* when given a range of commits, commitdiff_plain publishes a single
patch with the message from the first commit, instead of a patchset
* the hand-built email format replicates the commit summary both as
email subject and as first line of the email itself, resulting in
a duplication if the output is used with git-am.
We thus create a new view that can be fed to git-am directly, allowing
patch exchange via gitweb. The new view exposes the output of git
format-patch directly, limiting it to a single patch in the case of a
single commit.
A configurable upper limit defaulting to 16 is imposed on the number of
commits which will be included in a patchset, to prevent DoS attacks on
the server. Setting the limit to 0 will disable the patch view, setting
it to a negative number will remove the limit.

I want directories of my working tree to be linked to from various
paths on my filesystem where third-party components expect them, both
in development and production environments. A build system's install
step could solve this, but I develop scripts and web pages that don't
need to be built. Git's submodule system could solve this, but we
tend to develop, branch, and test those directories all in unison, so
one big repository feels more natural. We prefer to edit and commit
on the symlinked paths, not the canonical ones, and in that setting,
"git pull" fails to find the top-level directory of the repository
while other commands work fine.
"git pull" fails because POSIX shells have a notion of current working
directory that is different from getcwd(). The shell stores this path
in PWD. As a result, "cd ../" can be interpreted differently in a
shell script than chdir("../") in a C program. The shell interprets
"../" by essentially stripping the last textual path component from
PWD, whereas C chdir() follows the ".." link in the current directory
on the filesystem. When PWD is a symlink, these are different
destinations. As a result, Git's C commands find the correct
top-level working tree, and shell scripts do not.
Changes:
* When interpreting a relative upward (../) path in cd_to_toplevel,
prepend the cwd without symlinks, given by /bin/pwd
* Add tests for cd_to_toplevel and "git pull" in a symlinked
directory that failed before this fix, plus contrasting scenarios
that already worked
