3a7a698e93 sha1-name.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index
This kills the_index dependency in get_oid_with_context() but for
get_oid() and friends, they still assume the_repository (which also
means the_index).

Unfortunately the widespread use of get_oid() will make it hard to
make the conversion now. We probably will add repo_get_oid() at some
point and limit the use of get_oid() in builtin/ instead of forcing
all get_oid() call sites to carry struct repository.

e1ff0a32e4 read-cache.c: kill read_index()
read_index() shares the same problem as hold_locked_index(): it
assumes $GIT_DIR/index. Move all call sites to repo_read_index()
instead. read_index_preload() and read_index_unmerged() are also
killed as a consequence.

3a95f31d1c repository.c: replace hold_locked_index() with repo_hold_locked_index()
hold_locked_index() assumes the index path at $GIT_DIR/index. This is
not good for places that take an arbitrary index_state instead of
the_index, which is basically everywhere except builtin/.

Replace it with repo_hold_locked_index(). hold_locked_index() remains
as a wrapper around repo_hold_locked_index() to reduce changes in builtin/

dba093ddc0 grep: use grep_opt->repo instead of explict repo argument
This command is probably the first one that operates on a repository
other than the_repository, in f9ee2fcdfa (grep: recurse in-process
using 'struct repository' - 2017-08-02). An explicit 'struct
repository *' was added in that commit to pass around the repository
that we're supposed to grep from.

Since 38bbc2ea39 (grep.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index -
2018-09-21). 'struct grep_opt *' carries in itself a repository
parameter for grepping. We should now be able to reuse grep_opt to
hold the submodule repo instead of a separate argument, which is just
room for mistakes.

While at there, use the right reference instead of the_repository and
the_index in this code. I was a bit careless in my attempt to kick
the_repository / the_index out of library code. It's normally safe to
just stick the_repository / the_index in bultin/ code, but it's not
the case for grep.

fc767afe77 .gitattributes: ensure t/oid-info/* has eol=lf
The new test_oid machinery in the test library requires reading
some information from t/oid-info/hash-info and t/oid-info/oid.

The logic to read from these files in shell uses built-in "read"
command, which leaves CR at the end of these text files when they
are checked out with CRLF line endings, at least when run with bash
shipped with Git for Windows.  This results in an unexpected value
in the variable these lines are read into, leading the tests to
fail.

Mark them to be checked out always with the LF line endings.

0365b9ec59 t9902: 'send-email' test case requires PERL
The oneline notwithstanding, 13374987dd (completion: use _gitcompbuiltin
for format-patch, 2018-11-03) changed also the way send-email options
are completed, by asking the git send-email command itself what options
it offers.

Necessarily, this must fail when built with NO_PERL because send-email
itself is a Perl script. Which means that we need the PERL prerequisite
for the send-email test case in t9902.

a92ec7efe0 parse-options: fix SunCC compiler warning
The compiler reports this because show_gitcomp() never actually
returns a value:

    "parse-options.c", line 520: warning: Function has no return
    statement : show_gitcomp

We could shut the compiler up. But instead let's not bury exit() too
deep. Do the same as internal -h handling, return a special error code
and handle the exit() in parse_options() (and other
parse_options_step() callers) instead.

1c4b985965 help -a: handle aliases with long names gracefully
We take pains to determine the longest command beforehand, so that we
can align the category column after printing the command names.

However, then we re-use that value when printing the aliases. If any
alias name is longer than the longest command name, we consequently try
to add a negative number of spaces (but `mput_char()` does not expect
any negative values and simply decrements until the value is 0, i.e.
it tries to add close to 2**31 spaces).

Let's fix this by adjusting the `longest` variable before printing the
aliases.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1975.

e5a329a279 run-command: report exec failure
In 321fd823 ("run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT",
2018-10-24), we rewrote the logic to execute a command by looking
in the directories on $PATH; as a side effect, a request to run a
command that is not found on $PATH is noticed even before a child
process is forked to execute it.

We however stopped to report an exec failure in such a case by
mistake.  Add a logic to report the error unless silent-exec-failure
is requested, to match the original code.

6fcbad87d4 rebase docs: fix incorrect format of the section Behavioral Differences
The text body of section Behavioral Differences is typeset as code,
but should be regular text. Remove the indentation to achieve that.

While here, prettify the language:

- use "the x backend" instead of "x-based rebase";
- use present tense instead of future tense;

and use subsections instead of a list.

7e75a63d74 RelNotes 2.20: drop spurious double quote
We have three double-quote characters, which is one too many or too few.
Dropping the last one seems to match the original intention best.

00ac55c7bd RelNotes 2.20: move some items between sections
Some items that should be in "Performance, Internal Implementation,
Development Support etc." have ended up in "UI, Workflows & Features"
and "Fixes since v2.19". Move them, and do s/uses/use/ while at it.

ac0edf1f46 range-diff: always pass at least minimal diff options
Commit d8981c3f88 ("format-patch: do not let its diff-options affect
--range-diff", 2018-11-30) taught `show_range_diff()` to accept a
NULL-pointer as an indication that it should use its own "reasonable
default". That fixed a regression from a5170794 ("Merge branch
'ab/range-diff-no-patch'", 2018-11-18), but unfortunately it introduced
a regression of its own.

In particular, it means we forget the `file` member of the diff options,
so rather than placing a range-diff in the cover-letter, we write it to
stdout. In order to fix this, rewrite the two callers adjusted by
d8981c3f88 to instead create a "dummy" set of diff options where they
only fill in the fields we absolutely require, such as output file and
color.

Modify and extend the existing tests to try and verify that the right
contents end up in the right place.

Don't revert `show_range_diff()`, i.e., let it keep accepting NULL.
Rather than removing what is dead code and figuring out it isn't
actually dead and we've broken 2.20, just leave it for now.

[es: retain diff coloring when going to stdout]
