Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.
Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or
test_might_fail. The examples in this patch do not require that.

Usually when applying a binary diff generated without
--binary, it will be rejected early, as we don't even have
the full sha1 of the pre- and post-images.
However, if the diff is generated with --full-index (but not
--binary), then we will actually try to apply it. If we have
the postimage blob, then we can take a shortcut and never
even look at the binary diff at all (e.g., this can happen
when rebasing changes within a repository).
If we don't have the postimage blob, though, we try to look
at the actual fragments, of which there are none, and get a
segfault. This patch checks explicitly for that case and
complains to the user instead of segfaulting. We need to
keep the check at a low level so that the "shortcut" case
above continues to work.
We also add a test that demonstrates the segfault. While
we're at it, let's also explicitly test the shortcut case.

Several tests did not use test_expect_success for their setup
commands. Putting these start commands into the testing framework
means both that errors during setup will be caught quickly and that
non-error text will be suppressed without -v.

This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".
This is useful to
- make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
e.g. SIGSEGV, and
- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

Dealing with NULs is not always safe with tr. On Solaris,
incoming NULs are silently deleted by both the System V and
UCB versions of tr. When converting to NULs, the System V
version works fine, but the UCB version silently ignores the
request to convert the character.
This patch changes all instances of tr using NULs to use
"perl -pe 'y///'" instead.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

Some versions of 'tr' only accept octal codes if entered with three digits,
and therefor misinterpret the '\0' in the test suite.
Some versions of 'tr' reject the (needless) use of character classes.

Historically we did not allow binary patch applied without an
explicit permission from the user, and this flag was the way to
do so. This makes the flag a no-op by always allowing binary
patch application.

The generated binary patch was _not_ binary -- earlier I made
the --full-index flag to imply binary patch generation to the diff
machinery, but later we made it independent from --binary (although
the latter implies the former).

A new option, --allow-binary-replacement, is introduced.
When you feed a diff that records full SHA1 name of pre- and
post-image blob on its index line to git-apply with this option,
the post-image blob replaces the path if what you have in the
working tree matches the pre-image _and_ post-image blob is
already available in the object directory.
Later we _might_ want to enhance the diff output to also include
the full binary data of the post-image, to make this more
useful, but this is good enough for local rebasing application.

Recently we fixed 'git-apply --stat' not to barf on a binary
differences. But it accidentally broke the error detection when
we actually attempt to apply them.
This commit fixes the problem and adds test cases.
