In the section on "How to check out a different version of a
project" the "new" branch is used as a temporary branch. A detached
HEAD was not used since it was a new feature introduced just a
couple weeks prior.
The section could be changed to use and explain a detached HEAD,
except that would increase the learning curve early in the manual.
Detached HEADs are discussed a couple sections later under
"Examining an old version without creating a new branch".
Let's declare that it is a bad idea to rewrite the example that
uses a temporary branch to do the sightseeing on a detached HEAD.

Make sure "el" can be reuseable again. The problem was el->alloc is
not cleared and may cause segfaults next time because add_exclude()
thinks el->excludes (being NULL) has enough space. Just clear the
entire struct to be safe.

The current code writes a reflog entry whenever we update a
symbolic ref, but we never test that this is so. Let's add a

If create_symref() fails, git-symbolic-ref will still exit
with code 0, and our caller has no idea that the command did
nothing.
This appears to have been broken since the beginning of time
(e.g., it is not a regression where create_symref() stopped
calling die() or something similar).

When fetching changes from a depot using a full client spec, there
is no need to perform as many queries as there are top-level paths
in the client spec. Instead we query all changes in chronological
order, also getting rid of the need to sort the results and remove
duplicates.

When getpwuid() on the system returned NULL (e.g. the user is not
in the /etc/passwd file or other uid-to-name mappings), the
codepath to find who the user is to record it in the reflog barfed

questionable ident string (e.g. host part of the e-mail address is
obviously bogus), and in general when we operate fmt_ident() function
in non-strict mode.

On Windows, when writing to a pipe fails, errno is always
EINVAL. However, Git expects it to be EPIPE.
According to the documentation, there are two cases in which write()
triggers EINVAL: the buffer is NULL, or the length is odd but the mode
is 16-bit Unicode (the broken pipe is not mentioned as possible cause).
Git never sets the file mode to anything but binary, therefore we know
that errno should actually be EPIPE if it is EINVAL and the buffer is
not NULL.
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1570wh78.aspx for more
details.
This works around t5571.11 failing with v2.6.4 on Windows.

When we unwrap a tag to find its commit for a traversal, we
do not propagate the "name" field of the tag in the pending
array (i.e., the ref name the user gave us in the first
place) to the commit (instead, we use an empty string). This
means that "git log --source" will never show the tag-name
for commits we reach through it.
This was broken in 2073949 (traverse_commit_list: support
pending blobs/trees with paths, 2014-10-15). That commit
tried to be careful and avoid propagating the path
information for a tag (which would be nonsensical) to trees
and blobs. But it should not have cut off the "name" field,
which should carry forward to children.
Note that this does mean that the "name" field will carry
forward to blobs and trees, too. Whereas prior to 2073949,
we always gave them an empty string. This is the right thing
to do, but in practice no callers probably use it (since now
we have an explicit separate "path" field, which was the
point of 2073949).
We add tests here not only for the broken case, but also a
basic sanity test of "log --source" in general, which did
not have any coverage in the test suite.

Oftentimes, patches created by git format-patch will be stored in
version control or compared with diff. In these cases, two otherwise
identical patches can have different commit hashes, leading to diff
noise. Teach git format-patch a --zero-commit option that instead
produces an all-zero hash to avoid this diff noise.
