f813fb41fc i18n: unmark die messages for translation
These messages are relevant for the programmer only, not for the end
user.  Thus, they can be unmarked for translation, saving translator
some work.

d323c6b641 i18n: git-sh-setup.sh: mark strings for translation
Positional arguments, such as $0, $1, etc, need to be stored on shell
variables for use in translatable strings, according to gettext manual
[1].

Add git-sh-setup.sh to LOCALIZED_SH variable in Makefile to enable
extraction of string marked for translation by xgettext.

Source git-sh-i18n in git-sh-setup.sh for gettext support.
git-sh-setup.sh is a shell library to be sourced by other shell scripts.
In order to avoid other scripts from sourcing git-sh-i18n twice, remove
line that sources it from them.  Not sourcing git-sh-i18n in any script
that uses gettext would lead to failure due to, for instance, gettextln
not being found.

57984dd9fc i18n: bisect: simplify error message for i18n
The message was not being extracted by xgettext, although it was marked
for translation, seemingly because it contained a command substitution.
Moreover, eval_gettext should be used instead of gettext for strings
with substitution.

See step 4. of section 15.5.2.1 Preparing Shell Scripts for
Internationalization from gettext manual [1]:
"Simplify translatable strings so that they don't contain command
substitution ("`...`" or "$(...)") [...]"

06e6a74506 bisect: allow setting any user-specified in 'git bisect start'
This allows a natural user-interface when looking for any change in the
code, not just regression. For example:

git bisect start --term-old fast --term-new slow
git bisect fast
git bisect slow
...

There were several proposed user-interfaces for this feature. This patch
implements it as options to 'git bisect start' for the following reasons:

* By construction, the terms will be valid for one and only one
  bisection.

* Unlike positional arguments, using named options avoid having to
  remember an order.

* We can combine user-defined terms and passing old/new commits as
  argument to "git bisect start".

* The implementation is relatively simple.

21e5cfd8b3 bisect: add the terms old/new
When not looking for a regression during a bisect but for a fix or a
change in another given property, it can be confusing to use 'good'
and 'bad'.

This patch introduce `git bisect new` and `git bisect old` as an
alternative to 'bad' and good': the commits which have a certain
property must be marked as `new` and the ones which do not as `old`.

The output will be the first commit after the change in the property.
During a new/old bisect session you cannot use bad/good commands and
vice-versa.

Some commands are still not available for old/new:
     * git rev-list --bisect does not treat the revs/bisect/new and
       revs/bisect/old-SHA1 files.

6bc02d5627 bisect: parse revs before passing them to check_expected_revs()
When running for example "git bisect bad HEAD" or
"git bisect good master", the parameter passed to
"git bisect (bad|good)" has to be parsed into a
commit hash before checking if it is the expected
commit or not.

We could do that in is_expected_rev() or in
check_expected_revs(), but it is already done in
bisect_state(). Let's just store the hash values
that result from this parsing, and then reuse
them after all the parsing is done.

This way we can also use a for loop over these
values to call bisect_write() on them, instead of
using eval.

1acf11717f bisect: fix exiting when checkout failed in bisect_start()
Commit 4796e823 ("bisect: introduce --no-checkout support into porcelain." Aug 4 2011)
made checking out the branch where we started depends on the "checkout" mode. But
unfortunately it lost the "|| exit" part after the checkout command.

As it makes no sense to continue if the checkout failed and as people have already
complained that the error message given when we just exit in this case is not clear, see:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/180733/

this patch adds a "|| die <hopefully clear message>" part after the checkout command.

git-bisect can now perform bisection of a history without performing

One use-case for this function is allow git bisect to be used with
damaged repositories where git checkout would fail because the tree
referenced by the commit is damaged.

It can also be used in other cases where actual checkout of the tree
is not required to progress the bisection.

exiting with the shell's 127 error code, confusing the git

We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a
graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk
is not available in our PATH at all. This not only fixes the
ugly error message, but is a much more sensible default than
failing to show the user anything.

412ff738ad bisect: improve error message of 'bisect log' while not bisecting
'git bisect log' is implemented by a direct invocation of 'cat
"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG"', without any sanity checks.  Consequently,
running 'git bisect log' while not bisecting leads to an error,
because the bisect logfile doesn't exists.  The accompanying error
message

  cat: /path/to/repo/.git/BISECT_LOG: No such file or directory

is neither very helpful nor very friendly.

Instead of blindly trying to cat the log file, first check whether
there is a bisection going on (i.e. the bisect logfile exists), and
die with a more appropriate error message when not.

e1622bfcba Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity
If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect.  For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.

The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep.  Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.

On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.

fc13aa3d09 bisect: simplify calling visualizer using '--bisect' option
In commit ad3f9a7 (Add '--bisect' revision machinery argument) the
'--bisect' option was added to easily pass bisection refs to
commands using the revision machinery.

So it is now shorter and safer to use the new '--bisect' revision
machinery option, than to compute the refs that we must pass.

6b87ce231d bisect reset: Allow resetting to any commit, not just a branch
‘git bisect reset’ accepts an optional argument specifying a branch to
check out after cleaning up the bisection state.  This lets you
specify an arbitrary commit.

In particular, this provides a way to clean the bisection state
without moving HEAD: ‘git bisect reset HEAD’.  This may be useful if
you are not interested in the state before you began a bisect,
especially if checking out the old commit would be expensive and
invalidate most of your compiled tree.

Clarify the ‘git bisect reset’ documentation to explain this optional
argument, which was previously mentioned only in the usage message.

0871984d30 bisect: make "git bisect" use new "--next-all" bisect-helper function
This patch replace the "--next-exit" option of "git bisect--helper"
with a "--next-all" option that does merge base checking using
the "check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad" function implemented in
"bisect.c" in a former patch.

The new "--next-all" option is then used in "git-bisect.sh" instead
of the "--next-exit" option, and all the shell functions in
"git-bisect.sh" that are now unused are removed.
