* 'maint-for-junio' of git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport:
fast-import: Fail if a non-existant commit is used for merge
fast-import: Avoid infinite loop after reset
It seems that some people prefer a short list to a long text. But even for
the latter group, a quick reminder list is useful. So, add a check list to
Documentation/SubmittingPatches of what to do to get your patch accepted.

Johannes Sixt noticed during one of his own imports that fast-import
did not fail if a non-existant commit is referenced by SHA-1 value
as an argument to the 'merge' command. This allowed the user to
unknowingly create commits that would fail in fsck, as the commit
contents would not be completely reachable.
A side effect of this bug was that a frontend process could mark
any SHA-1 object (blob, tree, tag) as a parent of a merge commit.
This should also fail in fsck, as the commit is not a valid commit.
We now use the same rule as the 'from' command. If a commit is
referenced in the 'merge' command by hex formatted SHA-1 then the
SHA-1 must be a commit or a tag that can be peeled back to a commit,
the commit must already exist, and must be readable by the core Git
infrastructure code. This requirement means that the commit must
have existed prior to fast-import starting, or the commit must have
been flushed out by a prior 'checkpoint' command.

Johannes Sixt noticed that a 'reset' command applied to a branch that
is already active in the branch LRU cache can cause fast-import to
relink the same branch into the LRU cache twice. This will cause
the LRU cache to contain a cycle, making unload_one_branch run in an
infinite loop as it tries to select the oldest branch for eviction.
I have trivially fixed the problem by adding an active bit to
each branch object; this bit indicates if the branch is already
in the LRU and allows us to avoid trying to add it a second time.
Converting the pack_id field into a bitfield makes this change take
up no additional memory.

"Modifying" an old commit by checking it out, --amend'ing it, then
rebasing on top of it, is a slightly cumbersome technique, but I've
found it useful frequently enough to make it seem worth documenting.

The generated user manual is rather hard to read thanks to the lack of
the css that's supposed to be included from docbook-xsl.css.
I'm totally ignorant of the toolchain; grubbing through xmlto and
related scripts, the easiest way I could find to ensure that the
generated html links to the stylesheet is by calling xsltproc directly.
Maybe there's some better way.

As Linus pointed out recently on the mailing list,
git reset --hard HEAD^

In particular, the second parameter in the call to iconv() will
cause this warning if your library declares iconv() with the
second (input buffer pointer) parameter of type const char **.
This is the old prototype, which is none-the-less used by the
current version of newlib on Cygwin. (It appears in old versions
of glibc too).

On Cygwin the wchar_t type is an unsigned short (16-bit) int.
This results in the above warnings from the return statement in
the wcwidth() function (in particular, the expressions involving
constants with values larger than 0xffff). Simply replace the
use of wchar_t with an unsigned int, typedef-ed as ucs_char_t.

Adding dependencies on included files to the generated man pages is
wrong - includes are processed by asciidoc, therefore the intermediate
Docbook XML files really depend on included files. Because of these

So when we do
git show v1.4.4..v1.5.0
that's an illogical thing to do, since "git show" is defined to be a
non-revision-walking action, which means the range operator be pointless
and wrong. The fact that we happily accept it (and then _only_ show
v1.5.0, which is the positive end of the range) is quite arguably not very
logical.
We should complain, and say that you can only do "no_walk" with positive
refs. Negative object refs really don't make any sense unless you walk
the obejct list (or you're "git diff" and know about ranges explicitly).

Internal function apply_line() is called to copy both context lines
and added lines to the output buffer, while possibly fixing the
whitespace breakages depending on --whitespace=strip settings.
However, it did its fix-up on both context lines and added lines.
This resulted in two symptoms:
(1) The number of lines reported to have been fixed up included
these context lines.
(2) However, the lines actually shown were limited to the added
lines that had whitespace breakages.

Few of us use git to compare or even version-control 2GB files,
but when we do, we'll want it to work.
Reading a recent patch, I noticed two lines like this:
int len = st.st_size;
Instead of "int", that should be "size_t". Otherwise, in the
non-symlink case, with 64-bit size_t, if the file's size is 2GB,
the following xmalloc will fail:
result = xmalloc(len + 1);
trying to allocate 2^64 - 2^31 + 1 bytes (assuming sign-extension
in the int-to-size_t promotion). And even if it didn't fail, the
subsequent "result[len] = 0;" would be equivalent to an unpleasant
"result[-2147483648] = 0;"
The other nearby "int"-declared size variable, sz, should also be of
type size_t, for the same reason. If sz ever wraps around and becomes
negative, xread will corrupt memory _before_ the "result" buffer.

It basically considers all the continuation lines to be lines of their
own, and if the total line is bigger than what we can fit in it, we just
truncate the result rather than stop in the middle and then get confused
when we try to parse the "next" line (which is just the remainder of the
first line).
