"git diff COPYING HEAD:COPYING" gave a nonsense error message that
claimed that the treeish HEAD did not have COPYING in it.
* mm/verify-filename-fix:
verify_filename(): ask the caller to chose the kind of diagnosis
sha1_name: do not trigger detailed diagnosis for file arguments
diagnose_invalid_sha1_path() is meant to be called to diagnose a
misspelt <treeish>:<pathname> when <pathname> does not exist in
<treeish>. However, the code may call it if <treeish>:<pathname> is
invalid (which triggers another call with only_to_die == 1), but for
another reason. This happens when calling e.g.
git log existing-file HEAD:existing-file
because existing-file is a path and not a revision, the code
verifies that the arguments that follow to be paths. This leads to
an incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD",
even though the path exists in HEAD.
Check that the search for <pathname> in <treeish> fails before
triggering the diagnosis.

If the branch configured as upstream didn't have a local tracking
branch, git said "Upstream branch not found". We can be more helpful,
and separate the cases when upstream is not configured, and when it is
configured, but the upstream branch is not tracked in a local branch.
The following configuration leads to the second scenario:
[remote "origin"]
url = ...
fetch = refs/heads/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
'git pull' will work on master, but master@{upstream} is not defined.

When using @{u} or @{upstream} it is common to omit the branch name,
implying current branch. If the upstream is not configured, the error
message was "No upstream branch found for ''".
When resolving '@{u}', branch_get() is called, which almost always
returns a description of a branch. This allows us to use a branch name
in the error message, even if the user said something like '@{u}'.
The only case when branch_get() returns NULL is when HEAD points to so
something which is not a branch. Of course this also means that no
upstream is configured, but it is better to directly say that HEAD
does not point to a branch.

such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after
seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it
cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis".
The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the
history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit.
Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the
"detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the
call only for the caller to die with a message. Flip its meaning (and
adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name,
but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their

Given "git log :", we get a disambiguation message that tries to be
helpful and yet totally misses the point, i.e.
$ git log :
fatal: Path '' does not exist (neither on disk nor in the index).
$ git log :/
fatal: Path '/' exists on disk, but not in the index.
An empty path nor anything that begins with '/' cannot possibly in the
index, and it is wrong to guess that the user might have meant to access
such an index entry.
It should yield the same error message as "git log '*.c'", i.e.
$ git log '*.c'

This is trying to free only what we ourselves read (as opposed to what
we borrowed from commit->buffer) but do so lazily only to work around
the fact that the code has many irregular exit points, and doing it right
makes it necessary to call free() from many different places in the loop.
Rewrite the structure of the code inside the loop so that the variable
has to live within a single iteration, ever. This should make the logic
easier to follow as well.
Also we didn't free a temporary commit list we kept to hold the original

We taught the object name parser to take ":./<path>", ":../<path>", etc.

The parser tried to clean up the object flags it used while finding
commits with matching string, but was not doing a very good job at it.
This caused "checkout -b new ':/token'", which internally tries to parse
':/token' twice as an object name, to fail when the commit in question
was reachable from only one ref.
The mask bits given to pop_most_recent_commit(&list, MASK) means "I have
already been on the list to be processed, so please do not place me again
even if I am found to be a parent of some other commit on the list." So
mark them when we add them to the list at the beginning.

dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning
stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocation
diff: make sure --output=/bad/path is caught
Remove hyphen from "git-command" in two error messages
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn
about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a
branch yet to be born.
However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed
something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is
dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was
"HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the
dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD".
Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and
consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty
repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".
