There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files
are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a
Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code
to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has
been updated to fix them.
* jk/setup-sequence-update:
t1007: factor out repeated setup
init: reset cached config when entering new repo
init: expand comments explaining config trickery
config: only read .git/config from configured repos
test-config: setup git directory
t1302: use "git -C"
pager: handle early config
pager: use callbacks instead of configset
pager: make pager_program a file-local static
pager: stop loading git_default_config()
pager: remove obsolete comment
diff: always try to set up the repository
diff: handle --no-index prefixes consistently
diff: skip implicit no-index check when given --no-index
patch-id: use RUN_SETUP_GENTLY
hash-object: always try to set up the git repository
If we see an explicit "--no-index", we do not bother calling
setup_git_directory_gently() at all. This means that we may
miss out on reading repo-specific config.
It's arguable whether this is correct or not. If we were
designing from scratch, making "git diff --no-index"
completely ignore the repository makes some sense. But we
are nowhere near scratch, so let's look at the existing
behavior:
1. If you're in the top-level of a repository and run an
explicit "diff --no-index", the config subsystem falls
back to reading ".git/config", and we will respect repo
config.
2. If you're in a subdirectory of a repository, then we
still try to read ".git/config", but it generally
doesn't exist. So "diff --no-index" there does not
respect repo config.
3. If you have $GIT_DIR set in the environment, we read
and respect $GIT_DIR/config,
4. If you run "git diff /tmp/foo /tmp/bar" to get an
implicit no-index, we _do_ run the repository setup,
and set $GIT_DIR (or respect an existing $GIT_DIR
variable). We find the repo config no matter where we
started, and respect it.
So we already respect the repository config in a number of
common cases, and case (2) is the only one that does not.
And at least one of our tests, t4034, depends on case (1)
behaving as it does now (though it is just incidental, not
an explicit test for this behavior).
So let's bring case (2) in line with the others by always
running the repository setup, even with an explicit
"--no-index". We shouldn't need to change anything else, as the
implicit case already handles the prefix.

We can invoke no-index mode in two ways: by an explicit
request from the user, or implicitly by noticing that we
have two paths, and at least one is outside the repository.
If the user already told us --no-index, there is no need for
us to do the implicit test at all. However, we currently
do, and downgrade our "explicit" to DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT.
This doesn't have any user-visible behavior, though it's not
immediately obvious why. We only trigger the implicit check
when we have exactly two non-option arguments. And the only
code that cares about implicit versus explicit is an error
message that we show when we _don't_ have two non-option
arguments.
However, it's worth fixing anyway. Besides being slightly
more efficient, it makes the code easier to follow, which
will help when we modify it in future patches.

Many commands normalize command line arguments from NFD to NFC
variant of UTF-8 on OSX, but commands in the "diff" family did
not, causing "git diff $path" to complain that no such path is
known to Git. They have been taught to do the normalization.

diff: run arguments through precompose_argv
Many commands normalize command line arguments from NFD to NFC
variant of UTF-8 on OSX, but commands in the "diff" family did
not, causing "git diff $path" to complain that no such path is
known to Git. They have been taught to do the normalization.
* ar/diff-args-osx-precompose:
diff: run arguments through precompose_argv
When running diff commands, a pathspec containing decomposed
unicode code points is not converted to precomposed unicode form
under Mac OS X, but we normalize the paths in the index and the
history to precomposed form on that platform. As a result, the
pathspec would not match and no diff is shown.
Unlike many builtin commands, the "diff" family of commands do
not use parse_options(), which is how other builtin commands
indirectly call precompose_argv() to normalize argv[] into
precomposed form on Mac OSX. Teach these commands to call
precompose_argv() themselves.
Note that precomopose_argv() normalizes not just paths but all
command line arguments, so things like "git diff -G $string"
when $string has the decomposed form would first be normalized
into the precomposed form and would stop hitting the same string
in the decomposed form in the diff output with this change.
It is not a problem per-se, as "log" family of commands already use
parse_options() and call precompose_argv()--we can think of this
change as making the "diff" family of commands behave in a similar
way as the commands in the "log" family.

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.
Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".
This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written

git diff --no-index ... currently reads the index, during setup, when
calling gitmodules_config(). This results in worse performance when the
index is not actually needed. This patch avoids calling
gitmodules_config() when the --no-index option is given. The times for
executing "git diff --no-index" in the WebKit repository are improved as
follows:
Test HEAD~3 HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------
4001.1: diff --no-index 0.24(0.15+0.09) 0.01(0.00+0.00) -95.8%
An additional improvement of this patch is that "git diff --no-index" no
longer breaks when the index file is corrupt, which makes it possible to
use it for investigating the broken repository.
To improve the possible usage as investigation tool for broken
repositories, setup_git_directory_gently() is also not called when the
--no-index option is given.
Also add a test to guard against future breakages, and a performance
test to show the improvements.

The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).
The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.
We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.
This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.
One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

git-diff does not rely on the git wrapper to setup its
pager; instead, it sets it up on its own after seeing
whether --quiet or --exit-code has been specified. After
diff_no_index was split off from cmd_diff, commit b3fde6c
(git diff --no-index: default to page like other diff
frontends, 2008-05-26) duplicated the one-liner from
cmd_diff to turn on the pager.
Later, commit 8f0359f (Allow pager of diff command be
enabled/disabled, 2008-07-21) taught the the version in
cmd_diff to respect the pager.diff config, but the version
in diff_no_index was left behind. This meant that
git -c pager.diff=0 diff a b
would not use a pager, but
git -c pager.diff=0 diff --no-index a b
would. Let's fix it by factoring out a common function.
While we're there, let's update the antiquated comment,
which claims that the pager interferes with propagating the
exit code; this has not been the case since ea27a18 (spawn
pager via run_command interface, 2008-07-22).

Default to the real terminal width for diff --stat output, instead
of the hard-coded 80 columns.
Some projects (especially in Java), have long filename paths, with
nested directories or long individual filenames. When files are
renamed, the filename part in stat output can be almost useless. If
the middle part between { and } is long (because the file was moved to
a completely different directory), then most of the path would be
truncated.
It makes sense to detect and use the full terminal width and display
full filenames if possible.
The are commands like diff, show, and log, which can adapt the output
to the terminal width. There are also commands like format-patch,
whose output should be independent of the terminal width. Since it is
safer to use the 80-column default, the real terminal width is only
used if requested by the calling code by setting diffopts.stat_width=-1.
Normally this value is 0, and can be set by the user only to a
non-negative value, so -1 is safe to use internally.
This patch only changes the diff builtin to use the full terminal width.

All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:
1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).
2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
defaults it to off.
This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
