builtin/fetch.c: ignore merge config when not fetching from branch's remote
When 'git fetch' is supplied a single argument, it tries to match it
against a configured remote and then fetch the refs specified by the
named remote's fetchspec. Additionally, or alternatively, if the current
branch has a merge ref configured, and if the name of the remote supplied
to fetch matches the one in the branch's configuration, then git also adds
the merge ref to the list of refs to update.
If the argument to fetch does not specify a named remote, or if the name
supplied does not match the remote configured for the current branch, then
the current branch's merge configuration should not be considered.
git currently mishandles the case when the argument to fetch specifies a
GIT URL(i.e. not a named remote) and the current branch has a configured
merge ref. In this case, fetch should ignore the branch's merge ref and
attempt to fetch from the remote repository's HEAD branch. But, since
fetch only checks _whether_ the current branch has a merge ref configured,
and does _not_ check whether the branch's configured remote matches the
command line argument (until later), it will mistakenly enter the wrong
branch of an 'if' statement and will not fall back to fetch the HEAD branch.
The fetch ends up doing nothing and returns with a successful zero status.
Fix this by comparing the remote repository's name to the branch's remote
name, in addition to whether it has a configured merge ref, sooner, so that
fetch can correctly decide whether the branch's configuration is interesting
or not, and fall back to fetching from the remote's HEAD branch when
appropriate.
This fixes the test in t5510.

t/t5510: demonstrate failure to fetch when current branch has merge ref
When 'git fetch' is supplied just a repository URL (not a remote name),
and without a fetch refspec, it should fetch from the remote HEAD branch
and update FETCH_HEAD with the fetched ref. Currently, when 'git fetch'
is called like this, it fails to retrieve anything, and does not update
FETCH_HEAD, if the current checked-out branch has a configured merge ref.
i.e. this fetch fails to retrieve anything nor update FETCH_HEAD:
When 'git checkout' reports uncommitted changes, it also does so for
submodules.
The default mode is now to look really hard into submodules, not only
for different commits, but also for modified files. Since this can be
pretty expensive when there are a lot (and large) submodules, there is
the diff.ignoreSubmodules option.

Fix 'git log' early pager startup error case
We start the pager too early for several git commands, which results in
the errors sometimes going to the pager rather than show up as errors.
This is often hidden by the fact that we pass in '-X' to less by default,
which causes 'less' to exit for small output, but if you do
export LESS=-S
you can then clearly see the problem by doing
git log --prretty

This happens for pretty much all git commands that use USE_PAGER, and then

It knows how to parse -q,--quiet and --index flags, but leaves
other flags parsed.
Specified revisions are checked to see that they are at
least stash-like (meaning: they look like something created
by git stash save or git stash create).
If this is so, then IS_STASH_LIKE is initialized to a non-empty value.
If the specified revision also looks like a stash log entry reference,
then IS_STASH_REF is initialized to a non-empty value.
References of the form ref@{spec} are required to precisely identify
an individual commit.
If no reference is specified, stash@{0} is assumed.
Once the specified reference is validated to be at least stash_like
an ensemble of derived variables, (w_commit, w_tree, b_commit, etc)
is initialized with a single call to git rev-parse.
Repeated calls to parse_flags_and_rev() avoid repeated calls
to git rev-parse if the specified arguments have already been
parsed.

git stash subcommands to make use of these functions
as appropriate.

assert_stash_like(): which can be used by
commands that misbehave unless their arguments stash-like.
is_stash_ref(): which checks whether an argument
is valid stash reference(e.g. is of the form
['refs/']stash['@{'something'}])

that misbehave unless their arguments are both stash-like and

apply: handle traditional patches with space in filename
To discover filenames from the --- and +++ lines in a traditional
unified diff, currently "git apply" scans forward for a whitespace
character on each line and stops there. It can't use the whole line
because "diff -u" likes to include timestamps, like so:
--- foo 2000-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500
+++ bar 2010-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500
The whitespace-seeking heuristic works great, even when the tab
has been converted to spaces by some email + copy-and-paste
related corruption.
Except for one problem: if the filename itself contains whitespace,
the inferred filename will be too short.
When Giuseppe ran into this problem, it was for a file creation
patch (for debian/licenses/LICENSE.global BSD-style Chromium).
So one can't use the list of files present in the index to deduce an
appropriate filename (not to mention that way lies madness; see
v0.99~402, 2005-05-31).
Instead, look for a timestamp and use that if present to mark the end
of the filename. If no timestamp is present, the old heuristic is
used, with one exception: the space character \040 is not considered
terminating whitespace any more unless it is followed by a timestamp.

Documentation: remove stray backslash from "git bundle" manual
In v1.6.2.2~6^2~4 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes
and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22), backslashes were
introduced before ~ to avoid introducing unintentional
superscripts. In one paragraph there is only one ~, though,
making that not a candidate for quoting, and asciidoc 8.5.8
passes the backslash through so the man page says "\~10..master".
Maybe there is an asciidoc behavior change involved.
In any case, we should replace tildes with a {tilde} entity which
means the same thing regardless of where it is found.

Documentation/technical: avoid stray backslash in parse-options API docs
Due to some unpleasant interaction between the `quote', 'italics',
and `monospace` rules, a certain paragraph ends up rendered like so:
‘short` is a character for the short option
(e.g. <tt>'e\’</tt> for <tt>-e</tt>, use <tt>0</tt> to omit),
Use the {apostrophe} to avoid this.
While at it, escape "->" strings: they are meant as a literal
two-character C operator, not a right-pointing arrow.

Documentation: remove backslashes in manpage synopses
For some reason, various manual pages have an asterisk escaped
with \ in the synopsis. Since there is no other asterisk to pair it
with, Asciidoc does not consider this asterisk escapable, so it passes
the backslash through.
Each page either uses [verse] or has only one asterisk, so it
is safe to drop the backslashes (checked with asciidoc 8.5.2).

An asterisk in "Documentation/*.txt" quoted with \ to avoid bold text
is being output as \* because asciidoc does not consider it a
candidate for escaping (there is no matching * to pair it with).

"Documentation/\*.txt" in the .gitignore file.

Intended output:

Removes all *.txt files from the index that are under

git grep time_t -- *.[ch]
Looks for time_t in all tracked .c and .h
files in the working directory and its subdirectories.
git grep -e '#define\' --and \( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)

In the first example, the *.[ch] argument needs to be protected from
the shell, or else it will only match files in the current directory.
The second example has a stray backslash.

Documentation: unbreak regex in show-ref manual
I am not sure why, but the regular expression "(?:\^\{\})" gets
rendered by asciidoc as "(?:\{})". The intent seems to be a regex
matching the literal string "^{}", so this rewrites the markup to
produce "(?:\^{})" as output.

Documentation: quoting trouble in "git rm" discussion
The current output (with Asciidoc 8.5.2) seems a bit broken:
given two directories ‘d` and d2, there is a difference
between using git rm 'd*’ and ‘git rm 'd/\*\’`, as the
former will also remove all of directory d2.
In other words, the markup parses as
given two directories << d` and _d2_, there is a difference
between using _git rm 'd* >>_ and << git rm 'd/\*\ >> `.
I suspect there is an asciidoc bug involved (why is ' a candidate
closing-quote mark when it is preceded by a backslash?) but with
all the meanings of ` and ' involved I do not want to track it
down. Better to use unambiguous {asterisk} and {apostrophe}
entities.
