The __gitdir() helper function finds out the path of the git
repository by running 'git rev-parse --git-dir'. However, it has a
shortcut first to avoid the overhead of running a git command in a
subshell when the current directory is at the top of the work tree,
i.e. when it contains a '.git' subdirectory.
If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies the
path to the git repository, and the autodetection of the '.git'
directory is not necessary. However, $GIT_DIR is only taken into
acocunt by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', and the check for the '.git'
subdirectory is performed first, so it wins over the path given in
$GIT_DIR.
There are several completion (helper) functions that depend on
__gitdir(), and when the above case triggers the completion script
will do weird things, like offering refs, aliases, or stashes from a
different repository, or displaying wrong or broken prompt, etc.
So check first whether $GIT_DIR is set, and only proceed with checking
the '.git' directory in the current directory if it isn't. 'git
rev-parse' would also check whether the path in $GIT_DIR is a proper
'.git' directory, i.e. 'HEAD', 'refs/', and 'objects/' are present and
accessible, but we don't have to be that thorough for the bash prompt.
And we've lived with an equally permissive check for '.git' in the
current working directory for years anyway.

The __gitdir function is duplicated between completion and prompt
scripts, and these definitions should not diverge; otherwise one of
them can be subtly broken depending on the order the user's shell
dot-sources them.
Leave a note to people who may want to touch one copy to make sure
they update the other one in sync. Hopefully this line would also
appear in the context of the patch to allow reviewers to notice a
patch that attempts to update only one of them.

bash-completion 1.90 shipped with support to load completions
dynamically[1], which means the git completion script wouldn't be loaded
until the user types 'git <tab>'--this creates a problem to people using
__git_ps1(); that function won't be available when the shell is first
created.
For now distributions have workarounded this issue by moving the git
completion to the "compatdir"[2]; this of course is not ideal.
The solution, proposed by Kerrick Staley[3], is to split the git script
in two; the part that deals with __git_ps1() in one (i.e.
git-prompt.sh), and everything else in another (i.e.
git-completion.bash).
Another benefit of this is that zsh user that are not interested in the
bash completion can use it for their prompts, which has been tried
before[4].
The only slight issue is that __gitdir() would be duplicated, but this
is probably not a big deal.
So let's go ahead and move __git_ps1() to a new file.
While at this, I took the liberty to reformat the help text in the new
file.

Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to use
them, e.g. when installing to DESTDIR to make a tarball and untarring on

setting; it unconditionally creates git-citool by hardlinking git-gui.

In abe1998 ("git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn
branch"), a code-path overly-optimisticly assumed that a
branch-name was specified. This is not always the case, and as
a result a NULL-pointer was attempted printed to .git/HEAD.
This could lead to at least two different failure modes:
1) vsnprintf formated the NULL-string as something useful (e.g
"(null)")
2) vsnprintf crashed
Neither were very convenient for formatting a new HEAD-reference.
To fix this, reintroduce some strictness so we only take this
new codepath if a banch-name was specified.

The functions read_directory_recursive() and treat_leading_path() both
use buffers sized to fit PATH_MAX characters. The latter can be made to
overrun its buffer, e.g. like this:
$ a=0123456789abcdef
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ git add $a/a
Instead of trying to add a check and potentionally forgetting to address
similar cases, convert the involved functions and their helpers to use
struct strbuf. The patch is suprisingly large because the helpers
treat_path() and treat_one_path() modify the buffer as well and thus need
to be converted, too.
