resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.
The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()
branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);
Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

Back in 1127148 (Loosen "working file will be lost" check in
Porcelain-ish - 2006-12-04), git-checkout.sh learned to quietly
overwrite ignored files. Howver the code only took .gitignore files
into account.
Standard ignored files include all specified in .gitignore files in
working directory _and_ $GIT_DIR/info/exclude. This patch makes sure
ignored files in info/exclude can also be overwritten automatically in
the spirit of the original patch.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.
Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

Checking paths out of a tree is (currently) defined to do:
- Grab the paths from the named tree that match the given pathspec,
and add them to the index;
- Check out the contents from the index for paths that match the
pathspec to the working tree; and while at it
- If the given pathspec did not match anything, suspect a typo from the
command line and error out without updating the index nor the working
tree.
Suppose that the branch you are working on has dir/myfile, and the "other"
branch has dir/other but not dir/myfile. Further imagine that you have
either modified or removed dir/myfile in your working tree, but you have
not run "git add dir/myfile" or "git rm dir/myfile" to tell Git about your
local change. Running
$ git checkout other dir
would add dir/other to the index with the contents taken out of the
"other" branch, and check out the paths from the index that match the
pathspec "dir", namely, "dir/other" and "dir/myfile", overwriting your
local changes to "dir/myfile", even though "other" branch does not even
know about that file.
Fix it by updating the working tree only with the index entries that
was read from the "other" tree.

The "git branch" command, while not in listing mode, calls create_branch()
even when the target branch already exists, and it does so even when it is
not interested in updating the value of the branch (i.e. the name of the
commit object that sits at the tip of the existing branch). This happens
when the command is run with "--set-upstream" option.
The earlier safety-measure to prevent "git branch -f $branch $commit" from
updating the currently checked out branch did not take it into account,
and we no longer can update the tracking information of the current branch.
Minimally fix this regression by telling the validation code if it is
called to really update the value of a potentially existing branch, or if
the caller merely is interested in updating auxiliary aspects of a branch.

"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch
which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset
normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog
in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it).
"git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this
bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its
task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this
manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD.
"git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with
a fatal error.
Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the
same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from
updating the current branch.
We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message
but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was
actually trying to do.

The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:
$ mkdir sub
$ cd sub
$ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
$ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.
So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.
Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.
$ cd Documentation
$ git checkout nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
$ git commit nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...
by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.
The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().
A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

When orphaning a commit on a detached HEAD, the warning
currently looks like:
Warning: you are leaving 3 commits behind, not connected to
any of your branches:
- commit subject 1
- commit subject 2
- commit subject 3
If you want to keep them by creating a new branch, this
may be a good time to do so with:
git branch new_branch_name 933a615ab0bc566dcfd8c01ec8af159f770d3fe5
Instead of using the "-" list, let's provide a more
traditional oneline format, with the abbreviated sha1 before
each subject. Users are accustomed to seeing commits in this
format, and having the sha1 of each commit can be useful if
you want to cherry-pick instead of creating a new branch.
The new format looks like:

You can detach the HEAD at an arbitrary commit in order to browse the
files in various points in the history or build older versions of the
software, without recording any new commit, and come back to an existing
branch. When used in this "sightseer" mode, detached HEAD is a perfectly
safe mechanism. It also is a useful state to experiment with throw-away
commits.
When coming back to an existing branch with "git checkout master",
however, the commits that were created on the detached HEAD will become
unreachable from anywhere but the reflog of the HEAD. Check if the commit
we are about to leave is connected to some ref, and give a final warning
otherwise to remind the user for safety.

definition of EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN to produce a value of more

Take care of simple, exceptional cases before the meat of the "check

vaguely follows the following pseudocode:
if (-B or -b)
create branch;
if (plain "git checkout" or "git checkout HEAD")
;
else if (--detach or checking out by non-branch commit name)
detach HEAD;
else if (checking out by branch name)
attach HEAD;
