send-email: make message-id generation a bit more robust
Earlier code took Unix time and appended a few random digits.
If you are firing off many messages within a second, you could
issue the same id to different messages, which is a no-no. If
you send out 31 messages within a single second, with random
integer taken out of rand(4200), you have about 10% chance of
producing the same message ID.
This fixes the problem by uses a prefix string which is
constant-per-invocation (time and pid), with a serial number for
each message generated by the process appended at the end.

Fix the rename detection limit checking
This adds more proper rename detection limits. Instead of just checking
the limit against the number of potential rename destinations, we verify
that the rename matrix (which is what really matters) doesn't grow
ridiculously large, and we also make sure that we don't overflow when
doing the matrix size calculation.
This also changes the default limits from unlimited, to a rename matrix
that is limited to 100 entries on a side. You can raise it with the config
entry, or by using the "-l<n>" command line flag, but at least the default
is now a sane number that avoids spending lots of time (and memory) in
situations that likely don't merit it.
The choice of default value is of course very debatable. Limiting the
rename matrix to a 100x100 size will mean that even if you have just one
obvious rename, but you also create (or delete) 10,000 files, the rename
matrix will be so big that we disable the heuristics. Sounds reasonable to
me, but let's see if people hit this (and, perhaps more importantly,

Make --no-thin the default in git-push to save server resources
1) pushes happen less often than fetches, so the bandwidth saving is
much less visible in that case overall.
2) thin packs have to be complemented with missing delta bases to be
valid, so many received thin packs will take more disk space.
3) the bother of repacking should be distributed amongst "clients"
i.e. fetchers and pushers as much as possible, and not the server
being fetched or pushed, to keep disk and CPU usage low on the
server.
This is why a fetch should get thin packs but a push should not.
Both Nico and I have been assuming that --no-thin was the default
behavior of git-push ever since Nico introduced --fix-thin into the

git-tag -s must fail if gpg cannot sign the tag.
Most of this patch code and message was written by Shawn O. Pearce.
I made some tests to know what the problem was, and then I changed
the code related with the SIGPIPE signal.
If the user has misconfigured `user.signingkey` in their .git/config
or just doesn't have any secret keys on their keyring and they ask
for a signed tag with `git tag -s` we better make sure the resulting
tag was actually signed by gpg.
Prior versions of builtin git-tag allowed this failure to slip
by without error as they were not checking the return value of
the finish_command() so they did not notice when gpg exited with
an error exit status. They also did not fail if gpg produced an
empty output or if read_in_full received an error from the read
system call while trying to read the pipe back from gpg.
Finally, we did not actually honor any return value from the do_sign
function as it returns ssize_t but was being stored into an unsigned
long. This caused the compiler to optimize out the die condition,
allowing git-tag to continue along and create the tag object.
However, when gpg gets a wrong username, it exits before any read was done
and then the writing process receives SIGPIPE and program is terminated.
By ignoring this signal, anyway, the function write_or_die gets EPIPE from
write_in_full and exits returning 0 to the system without a message.
Here we better call to write_in_full directly so we can fail
printing a message and return safely to the caller.
With these issues fixed `git-tag -s` will now fail to create the
tag and will report a non-zero exit status to its caller, thereby
allowing automated helper scripts to detect (and recover from)
failure if gpg is not working properly.

have enough data to match in the preimage. This caused the size
of a later memmove() to wrap around and attempt to scribble
almost the entire address space. Not good.
The code that follows the part this patch touches tries to match
the fragment with line offsets. Curiously, that code does not
have the problem --- it guards against reading past the end of
the preimage.

git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour
The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.
This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.
By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.
The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

git-tag: Fix -l option to use better shell style globs.
This patch removes certain behaviour of "git tag -l foo", currently
listing every tag name having "foo" as a substring. The same
thing now could be achieved doing "git tag -l '*foo*'".
This feature was added recently when git-tag.sh got the -n option
for showing tag annotations, because that commit also replaced the
old "grep pattern" behaviour with a more preferable "shell pattern"
behaviour (although slightly modified as you can see).
Thus, the following builtin-tag.c implemented it in order to
ensure that tests were passing unchanged with both programs.
Since common "shell patterns" match names with a given substring
_only_ when * is inserted before and after (as in "*substring*"), and
the "plain" behaviour cannot be achieved easily with the current
implementation, this is mostly the right thing to do, in order to
make it more flexible and consistent.
Tests for "git tag" were also changed to reflect this.

git-svn: fix dcommit clobbering upstream when committing multiple changes
Although dcommit could detect if the first commit in the series

detect conflicts in further commits it made.
Now we rebase each uncommitted change after each revision is
committed to SVN to ensure that we are up-to-date. git-rebase
will bail out on conflict errors if our next change cannot be
applied and committed to SVN cleanly, preventing accidental
clobbering of changes on the SVN-side.
--no-rebase users will have trouble with this, and are thus

This splits the variable into two, allow_fast_forward (which is
