__gitcomp_nl() iterates over all the possible completion words it gets
as argument
- filtering matching words,
- appending a trailing space to each matching word (in all but two
cases),
- prepending a prefix to each matching word (when completing words
after e.g. '--option=<TAB>' or 'master..<TAB>'), and
- adding each matching word to the COMPREPLY array.
This takes a while when a lot of refs are passed to __gitcomp_nl().
The previous changes in this series ensure that __git_refs() lists
only refs matching the current word to be completed, making a second
filtering in __gitcomp_nl() redundant.
Adding the necessary prefix and suffix could be done in __git_refs()
as well:
- When refs come from 'git for-each-ref', then that prefix and
suffix could be added much more efficiently using a 'git
for-each-ref' format containing said prefix and suffix. Care
should be taken, though, because that prefix might contain
'for-each-ref' format specifiers as part of the left hand side of
a '..' range or '...' symmetric difference notation or
fetch/push/etc. refspec, e.g. 'git log "evil-%(refname)..br<TAB>'.
Doubling every '%' in the prefix will prevent 'git for-each-ref'
from interpolating any of those contained specifiers.
- When refs come from 'git ls-remote', then that prefix and suffix
can be added in the shell loop that has to process 'git
ls-remote's output anyway.
- Finally, the prefix and suffix can be added to that handful of
potentially matching symbolic and pseudo refs right away in the
shell loop listing them.
And then all what is still left to do is to assign a bunch of
newline-separated words to a shell array, which can be done without a
shell loop iterating over each word, basically making all of
__gitcomp_nl() unnecessary for refs completion.
Add the helper function __gitcomp_direct() to fill the COMPREPLY array
with prefiltered and preprocessed words without any additional
processing, without a shell loop, with just one single compound
assignment. Modify __git_refs() to accept prefix and suffix
parameters and add them to each and every listed ref as described
above. Modify __git_complete_refs() to pass the prefix and suffix
parameters to __git_refs() and to feed __git_refs()'s output to
__gitcomp_direct() instead of __gitcomp_nl().

When completing refs, several __git_refs() code paths list all the
refs from the refs/{heads,tags,remotes}/ hierarchy and then
__gitcomp_nl() iterates over those refs in a shell loop to filter out
refs not matching the current ref to be completed. This comes with a
considerable performance penalty when a repository contains a lot of
refs but the current ref can be uniquely completed or when only a
handful of refs match the current ref.
Reduce the number of iterations in __gitcomp_nl() from the number of
refs to the number of matching refs by specifying appropriate globbing
patterns to 'git for-each-ref' and 'git ls-remote' to list only those
refs that match the current ref to be completed. However, do so only
when the ref to match is explicitly given as parameter, because the
current word on the command line might contain a prefix like
'--option=' or 'branch..'. The __git_complete_refs() and
__git_complete_fetch_refspecs() helpers introduced previously in this
patch series already call __git_refs() specifying this current ref
parameter, so all their callsites, i.e. all places in the completion
script doing refs completion, can benefit from this optimization.
Furthermore, list only those symbolic and pseudo refs that match the
current ref to be completed. Though it doesn't matter at all in
itself performance-wise, it will allow us further significant
optimizations later in this series.

When the completion script lists short refs it does so using the 'git
for-each-ref' format 'refname:short', which makes sure that all listed
refs are unambiguous. While disambiguating refs is technically
correct in this case, as opposed to the cases discussed in the
previous patch, this disambiguation involves several stat() syscalls
for each ref, thus, unfortunately, comes at a steep cost especially on
Windows and/or when there are a lot of refs to be listed. A user of
Git for Windows reported[1] 'git checkout <TAB>' taking ~11 seconds in
a repository with just about 4000 refs.
However, it's questionable whether ambiguous refs are really that bad
to justify that much extra cost:
- Ambiguous refs are not that common,
- even if a repository contains ambiguous refs, they only hurt when
the user actually happens to want to do something with one of the
ambiguous refs, and
- the issue can be easily circumvented by renaming those ambiguous
refs.
- On the other hand, apparently not that many refs are needed to
make refs completion unacceptably slow on Windows,
- and this slowness bites each and every time the user attempts refs
completion, even when the repository doesn't contain any ambiguous
refs.
- Furthermore, circumventing the issue might not be possible or
might be considerably more difficult and requires various
trade-offs (e.g. working in a repository with only a few selected
important refs while keeping a separate repository with all refs
for reference).
Arguably, in this case the benefits of technical correctness are
rather minor compared to the price we pay for it, and we are better
off opting for performance over correctness.
Use the 'git for-each-ref' format 'refname:strip=2' to list short refs
to spare the substantial cost of disambiguating.

When the completion script has to list only tags or only branches, it
uses the 'git for-each-ref' format 'refname:short', which makes sure
that all listed tags and branches are unambiguous. However,
disambiguating tags and branches in these cases is wrong, because:
- __git_tags(), the helper function listing possible tagname
arguments for 'git tag', lists an ambiguous tag
'refs/tags/ambiguous' as 'tags/ambiguous'. Its only consumer,
'git tag' expects its tagname argument to be under 'refs/tags/',
thus it interprets that abgiguous tag as
'refs/tags/tags/ambiguous'. Clearly wrong.
- __git_heads() lists possible branchname arguments for 'git branch'
and possible 'branch.<branchname>' configuration subsections.
Both of these expect branchnames to be under 'refs/heads/' and
misinterpret a disambiguated branchname like 'heads/ambiguous'.
Furthermore, disambiguation involves several stat() syscalls for each
tag or branch, thus comes at a steep cost especially on Windows and/or
when there are a lot of tags or branches to be listed.
Use the 'git for-each-ref' format 'refname:strip=2' instead of
'refname:short' to avoid harmful disambiguation of tags and branches
in __git_tags() and __git_heads().

After 'git fetch <remote> <TAB>' our completion script offers refspecs
that will fetch to a local branch with the same name as in the remote
repository, e.g. 'master:master'. This also completes
non-fast-forward refspecs, i.e. after a '+' prefix like
'+master:master', and fully qualified refspecs, e.g.
'refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master'. However, it does not complete
non-fast-forward fully qualified refspecs (or fully qualified refspecs
following any other prefix, e.g. '--option=', though currently no git
command supports such an option, but third party git commands might).
These refspecs are listed by the __git_refs2() function, which is just
a thin wrapper iterating over __git_refs()'s output, turning each
listed ref into a refspec. Now, it's certainly possible to modify
__git_refs2() and its callsite to pass an extra parameter containing
only the ref part of the current word to be completed (to follow suit
of the previous commit) to deal with prefixed fully qualified refspecs
as well. Unfortunately, keeping the current behavior unchanged in the
"no extra parameter" case brings in a bit of subtlety, which makes the
resulting code ugly and compelled me to write a 8-line long comment in
the proof of concept. Not good. However, since the callsite has to
be modified for proper functioning anyway, we might as well leave
__git_refs2() as is and introduce a new helper function without
backwards compatibility concerns.
Add the new function __git_complete_fetch_refspecs() that has all the
necessary parameters to do the right thing in all cases mentioned
above, including non-fast-forward fully qualified refspecs. This new
function can also easier benefit from optimizations coming later in
this patch series.

Completing full refs currently only works when the full ref stands on
in its own on the command line, but doesn't work when the current word
to be completed contains a prefix before the full ref, e.g.
'--option=refs/<TAB>' or 'master..refs/bis<TAB>'.
The reason is that __git_refs() looks at the current word to be
completed ($cur) as a whole to decide whether it has to list full (if
it starts with 'refs/') or short refs (otherwise). However, $cur also
holds said '--option=' or 'master..' prefixes, which of course throw
off this decision. Luckily, the default action is to list short refs,
that's why completing short refs happens to work even after a
'master..<TAB>' prefix and similar cases.
Pass only the ref part of the current word to be completed to
__git_refs() as a new positional parameter, so it can make the right
decision even if the whole current word contains some kind of a
prefix.
Make this new parameter the 4. positional parameter and leave the 3.
as an ignored placeholder for now (it will be used later in this patch
series).

__git_refs() currently accepts two optional positional parameters: a
remote and a flag for 'git checkout's tracking DWIMery. To fix a
minor bug, and, more importantly, for faster refs completion, this
series will add three more parameters: a prefix, the current word to
be completed and a suffix, i.e. the options accepted by __gitcomp() &
friends, and will change __git_refs() to list only refs matching that
given current word and to add that given prefix and suffix to the
listed refs.
However, __git_refs() is the helper function that is most likely used
in users' custom completion scriptlets for their own git commands, and
we don't want to break those, so
- we can't change __git_refs()'s default output format, i.e. we
can't by default append a trailing space to every listed ref,
meaning that the suffix parameter containing the default trailing
space would have to be specified on every invocation, and
- we can't change the position of existing positional parameters
either, so there would have to be plenty of set-but-empty
placeholder positional parameters all over the completion script.
Furthermore, with five positional parameters it would be really hard
to remember which position means what.
To keep callsites simple, add the new wrapper function
__git_complete_refs() around __git_refs(), which:
- instead of positional parameters accepts real '--opt=val'-style
options and with minimalistic option parsing translates them to
__git_refs()'s and __gitcomp_nl()'s positional parameters, and
- includes the '__gitcomp_nl "$(__git_refs ...)" ...' command
substitution to make its behavior match its name and the behavior
of other __git_complete_* functions, and to limit future changes
in this series to __git_refs() and this new wrapper function.
Call this wrapper function instead of __git_refs() wherever possible
throughout the completion script, i.e. when __git_refs()'s output is
fed to __gitcomp_nl() right away without further processing, which
means all callsites except a single one in the __git_refs2() helper.

there is still a bit of room for improvements:
1. The command substitution involves the forking of a subshell,
which has considerable overhead on some platforms.
2. There are a few cases, where this command substitution is
executed more than once during a single completion, which means
multiple subshells and possibly multiple 'git rev-parse'
executions. __gitdir() is invoked twice while completing refs
for e.g. 'git log', 'git rebase', 'gitk', or while completing
remote refs for 'git fetch' or 'git push'.
Both of these points can be addressed by using the
__git_find_repo_path() helper function introduced in the previous
commit:
1. __git_find_repo_path() stores the path to the repository in a
variable instead of printing it, so the command substitution
around the function can be avoided. Or rather: the command
substitution should be avoided to make the new value of the
variable set inside the function visible to the callers.
(Yes, there is now a command substitution inside
__git_find_repo_path() around each 'git rev-parse', but that's
executed only if necessary, and only once per completion, see
point 2. below.)
2. $__git_repo_path, the variable holding the path to the
repository, is declared local in the toplevel completion
functions __git_main() and __gitk_main(). Thus, once set, the
path is visible in all completion functions, including all
subsequent calls to __git_find_repo_path(), meaning that they
wouldn't have to re-discover the path to the repository.
So call __git_find_repo_path() and use $__git_repo_path instead of the
$(__gitdir) command substitution to access paths in the .git
directory. Turn tests checking __gitdir()'s repository discovery into
tests of __git_find_repo_path() such that only the tested function
changes but the expected results don't, ensuring that repo discovery
keeps working as it did before.
As __gitdir() is not used anymore in the completion script, mark it as
deprecated and direct users' attention to __git_find_repo_path() and
$__git_repo_path. Yet keep four __gitdir() tests to ensure that it
handles success and failure of __git_find_repo_path() and that it
still handles its optional remote argument, because users' custom
completion scriptlets might depend on it.

To prepare for caching the path to the repository in the following
commit, extract the repository discovering part of __gitdir() into the
__git_find_repo_path() helper function, which stores the found path in
the $__git_repo_path variable instead of printing it. Make __gitdir()
a wrapper around this new function. Declare $__git_repo_path local in
the toplevel completion functions __git_main() and __gitk_main() to
ensure that it never leaks into the environment and influences
subsequent completions (though this isn't necessary right now, as
__gitdir() is still only executed in subshells, but will matter for
the following commit).
Adjust tests checking __gitdir() or any other completion function
calling __gitdir() to perform those checks in a subshell to prevent
$__git_repo_path from leaking into the test environment. Otherwise
leave the tests unchanged to demonstrate that this change doesn't
alter __gitdir()'s behavior.

Three completion functions, namely __git_index_files(), __git_heads()
and __git_tags(), first run __gitdir() and check that the path it
outputs exists, i.e. that there is a git repository, and run a git
command only if there is one.
After the previous changes in this series there are no further uses of
__gitdir()'s output in these functions besides those checks. And
those checks are unnecessary, because we can just execute those git
commands outside of a repository and let them error out. We don't
perform such a check in other places either.
Remove this check and the __gitdir() call from these functions,
sparing the fork()+exec() overhead of the command substitution and the
potential 'git rev-parse' execution.

Outputting error messages during completion is bad: they disrupt the
command line, can't be deleted, and the user is forced to Ctrl-C and
start over most of the time. We already silence stderr of many git
commands in our Bash completion script, but there are still some in
there that can spew error messages when something goes wrong.
We could add the missing stderr redirections to all the remaining
places, but instead let's leverage that git commands are now executed
through the previously introduced __git() wrapper function, and
redirect standard error to /dev/null only in that function. This way
we need only one redirection to take care of errors from almost all
git commands. Redirecting standard error of the __git() wrapper
function thus became redundant, remove them.
The exceptions, i.e. the repo-independent git executions and those in
the __gitdir() function that don't go through __git() already have
their standard error silenced.

Several completion functions contain the following pattern to run git
commands respecting the path to the repository specified on the
command line:
git --git-dir="$(__gitdir)" <cmd> <options>
This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell for the command
substitution and potentially fork()+exec()ing 'git rev-parse' inside
__gitdir().
Now, if neither '--gitdir=<path>' nor '-C <path>' options are
specified on the command line, then those git commands are perfectly
capable to discover the repository on their own. If either one or
both of those options are specified on the command line, then, again,
the git commands could discover the repository, if we pass them all of
those options from the command line.
This means we don't have to run __gitdir() at all for git commands and
can spare its fork()+exec() overhead.
Use Bash parameter expansions to check the $__git_dir variable and
$__git_C_args array and to assemble the appropriate '--git-dir=<path>'
and '-C <path>' options if either one or both are present on the
command line. These parameter expansions are, however, rather long,
so instead of changing all git executions and make already long lines
even longer, encapsulate running git with '--git-dir=<path> -C <path>'
options into the new __git() wrapper function. Furthermore, this
wrapper function will also enable us to silence error messages from
git commands uniformly in one place in a later commit.
There's one tricky case, though: in __git_refs() local refs are listed
with 'git for-each-ref', where "local" is not necessarily the
repository we are currently in, but it might mean a remote repository
in the filesystem (e.g. listing refs for 'git fetch /some/other/repo
<TAB>'). Use one-shot variable assignment to override $__git_dir with
the path of the repository where the refs should come from. Although
one-shot variable assignments in front of shell functions are to be
avoided in our scripts in general, in the Bash completion script we
can do that safely.

'git -C <path>' option(s) on the command line should be taken into
account during completion, because
- like '--git-dir=<path>', it can lead us to a different repository,
- a few git commands executed in the completion script do care about
in which directory they are executed, and
- the command for which we are providing completion might care about
in which directory it will be executed.
However, unlike '--git-dir=<path>', the '-C <path>' option can be
specified multiple times and their effect is cumulative, so we can't
just store a single '<path>' in a variable. Nor can we simply
concatenate a path from '-C <path1> -C <path2> ...', because e.g. (in
an arguably pathological corner case) a relative path might be
followed by an absolute path.
Instead, store all '-C <path>' options word by word in the
$__git_C_args array in the main git completion function, and pass this
array, if present, to 'git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir' when
discovering the repository in __gitdir(), and let it take care of
multiple options, relative paths, absolute paths and everything.
Also pass all '-C <path> options via the $__git_C_args array to those
git executions which require a worktree and for which it matters from
which directory they are executed from. There are only three such
cases:
- 'git diff-index' and 'git ls-files' in __git_ls_files_helper()
used for git-aware filename completion, and
- the 'git ls-tree' used for completing the 'ref:path' notation.
The other git commands executed in the completion script don't need
these '-C <path>' options, because __gitdir() already took those
options into account. It would not hurt them, either, but let's not
induce unnecessary code churn.

The main completion function finds the name of the git command by
iterating through all the words on the command line in search for the
first non-option-looking word. As it is not aware of 'git -C's
mandatory path argument, if the '-C <path>' option is present, 'path'
will be the first such word and it will be mistaken for a git command.
This breaks completion in various ways:
- If 'path' happens to match one of the commands supported by the
completion script, then options of that command will be offered.
- If 'path' doesn't match a supported command and doesn't contain any
characters not allowed in Bash identifier names, then the
completion script does basically nothing and Bash in turn falls
back to filename completion for all subsequent words.
- Otherwise, if 'path' does contain such an unallowed character, then
it leads to a more or less ugly error message in the middle of the
command line. The standard '/' directory separator is such a
character, and it happens to trigger one of the uglier errors:
$ git -C some/path <TAB>sh.exe": declare: `_git_some/path': not a valid identifier
error: invalid key: alias.some/path
Fix this by skipping 'git -C's mandatory path argument while iterating
over the words on the command line. Extend the relevant test with
this case and, while at it, with cases that needed similar treatment
in the past ('--git-dir', '-c', '--work-tree' and '--namespace').
Additionally, silence the standard error of the 'declare' builtins
looking for the completion function associated with the git command
and of the 'git config' query for the aliased command. So if git ever
learns a new option with a mandatory argument in the future, then,
though the completion script will again misbehave, at least the
command line will not be utterly disrupted by those error messages.

The main git options '--git-dir', '-c', '-C', '--worktree' and
'--namespace' require an argument, but attempting completion right
after them lists git commands.
Don't offer anything right after these options, thus let Bash fall
back to filename completion, because
- the three options '--git-dir', '-C' and '--worktree' do actually
require a path argument, and
- we don't complete the required argument of '-c' and '--namespace',
and in that case the "standard" behavior of our completion script
is to not offer anything, but fall back to filename completion.

e832f5c096 (completion: avoid ls-remote in certain scenarios,
2013-05-28) turned a 'git ls-remote <remote>' query into a 'git
for-each-ref refs/remotes/<remote>/' to improve responsiveness of
remote refs completion by avoiding potential network communication.
However, it inadvertently made impossible to complete short refs from
a remote given as a URL, e.g. 'git fetch git://server.com/repo.git
<TAB>', because there is, of course, no such thing as
'refs/remotes/git://server.com/repo.git'.
Since the previous commit we tell apart configured remotes, i.e. those
that can have a hierarchy under 'refs/remotes/', from others that
don't, including remotes given as URL, so we know when we can't use
the faster 'git for-each-ref'-based approach.
Resurrect the old, pre-e832f5c09680 'git ls-remote'-based code for the
latter case to support listing short refs from remotes given as a URL.
The code is slightly updated from the original to
- take into account the path to the repository given on the command
line (if any), and
- omit 'ORIG_HEAD' from the query, as 'git ls-remote' will never
list it anyway.
When the remote given to __git_refs() doesn't exist, then it will be
handled by this resurrected 'git ls-remote' query. This code path
doesn't list 'HEAD' unconditionally, which has the nice side effect of
fixing two more expected test failures.

If the remote given to __git_refs() happens to match both the name of
a configured remote and the name of a directory in the current working
directory, then that directory is assumed to be a git repository, and
listing refs from that directory will be attempted. This is wrong,
because in such a situation git commands (e.g. 'git fetch|pull|push
<remote>' whom these refs will eventually be passed to) give
precedence to the configured remote. Therefore, __git_refs() should
list refs from the configured remote as well.
Add the helper function __git_is_configured_remote() that checks
whether its argument matches the name of a configured remote. Use
this helper to decide how to handle the remote passed to __git_refs().

In __git_refs() the git commands listing refs, both short and full,
from a given remote repository are run without giving them the path to
the git repository which might have been specified on the command line
via 'git --git-dir=<path>'. This is bad, those git commands should
access the 'refs/remotes/<remote>/' hierarchy or the remote and
credentials configuration in that specified repository.
Use the __gitdir() helper only to find the path to the .git directory
and pass the resulting path to the 'git ls-remote' and 'for-each-ref'
executions that list remote refs. While modifying that 'for-each-ref'
line, remove the superfluous disambiguating doubledash.
Don't use __gitdir() to check that the given remote is on the file
system: basically it performs only a single if statement for us at the
considerable cost of fork()ing a subshell for a command substitution.
We are better off to perform all the necessary checks of the remote in
__git_refs().
Though __git_refs() was the last remaining callsite that passed a
remote to __gitdir(), don't delete __gitdir()'s remote-handling part

There are occasions when you decide to abort an in-progress rebase and

first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about
it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase)
it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally
rm -r .git/<some rebase dir>
and continue with your life. But there could be two different
directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some
knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much
longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And
"rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could
destroy object database or other important data.
Provide "git rebase --quit" for this use case, mimicking a precedent
that is "git cherry-pick --quit".

Code clean-up with help from coccinelle tool continues.
* rs/cocci:
coccicheck: make transformation for strbuf_addf(sb, "...") more precise
use strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() for adding short hashes, part 2
use strbuf_addstr() instead of strbuf_addf() with "%s", part 2
gitignore: ignore output files of coccicheck make target
We can replace strbuf_addf() calls that just add a simple string with
calls to strbuf_addstr() to make the intent clearer. We need to be
careful if that string contains printf format specifications like %%,
though, as a simple replacement would change the output.
Add checks to the semantic patch to make sure we only perform the
transformation if the second argument is a string constant (possibly
translated) that doesn't contain any percent signs.

Add the macro QSORT, a convenient wrapper for qsort(3) that infers the
size of the array elements and supports the convention of initializing
empty arrays with a NULL pointer, which we use in some places.
Calling qsort(3) directly with a NULL pointer is undefined -- even with
an element count of zero -- and allows the compiler to optimize away any
following NULL checks. Using the macro avoids such surprises.
Add a semantic patch as well to demonstrate the macro's usage and to
automate the transformation of trivial cases.

The algorithm in diff-highlight only understands how to look
at two sides of a diff; it cannot correctly handle combined
diffs with multiple preimages. Often highlighting does not
trigger at all for these diffs because the line counts do
not match up. E.g., if we see:
- ours
-theirs
++resolved
we would not bother highlighting; it naively looks like a
single line went away, and then a separate hunk added
another single line.
But of course there are exceptions. E.g., if the other side
deleted the line, we might see:
- ours
++resolved
which looks like we dropped " ours" and added "+resolved".
This is only a small highlighting glitch (we highlight the
space and the "+" along with the content), but it's also the
tip of the iceberg. Even if we learned to find the true
content here (by noticing we are in a 3-way combined diff
and marking _two_ characters from the front of the line as
uninteresting), there are other more complicated cases where
we really do need to handle a 3-way hunk.
Let's just punt for now; we can recognize combined diffs by
the presence of extra "@" symbols in the hunk header, and
treat them as non-diff content.

Now that we have a test suite for diff highlight, we can
show off the improvements from 8d00662 (diff-highlight: do
not split multibyte characters, 2015-04-03).
While we're at it, we can also add another case that
_doesn't_ work: combining code points are treated as their
own unit, which means that we may stick colors between them
and the character they are modifying (with the result that
the color is not shown in an xterm, though it's possible
that other terminals err the other way, and show the color
but not the accent). There's no fix here, but let's
document it as a failure.

Previously, we simply treated hard links as if they were plain files
with size 0, ignoring the link type "1" and hence the link target.
What we should do instead, of course, is to use the link target to get
at the import mark for the contents, even if we cannot recreate the hard
link per se, as Git has no concept of hard links.

"git merge" in v2.9 prevents merging unrelated histories.
"git subtree split --rejoin" creates unrelated histories when
creating a split repo from a raw sub-directory that did not
originate from an invocation of "git subtree add".
Restore the original behavior by passing --allow-unrelated-histories
when merging subtrees. This ensures that the synthetic history
created by "git subtree split" can be merged.
Add a test to ensure that this feature works as advertised.

If you have whitespace errors in lines you've introduced, it
can be convenient to be able to jump directly to them for
fixing. You can't quite use "git jump diff" for this,
because though it passes arbitrary options to "git diff", it
expects to see an actual unified diff in the output.
Whereas "git diff --check" actually produces lines that look
like compiler quickfix lines already, meaning we just need
to run it and feed the output directly to the editor.

The hunk-header regex looks for "\+\d+" to find the
post-image line numbers, but it skips the pre-image line
numbers with a simple ".*". That means we may greedily eat
the post-image numbers and match a "\+\d" further on, in the
funcname text.
For example, commit 6b9c38e has this hunk header:
diff --git a/t/t0006-date.sh b/t/t0006-date.sh
[...]
@@ -50,8 +50,8 @@ check_show iso-local "$TIME" '2016-06-15 14:13:20 +0000'
If you run:
git checkout 6b9c38e
git jump diff HEAD^ t/
it will erroneously match "+0000" as the starting line
number and jump there, rather than line 50.
We can fix it by just making the "skip" regex non-greedy,
taking the first "+" we see, which should be the post-image
line information.

The previous method simply used the UNIX timestamp of when the binary was
built as its build label.

This patch aims to align the label for this binary with the Git version
contained in the GIT-VERSION-FILE. This gives a better sense of the version
of the binary as it can be mapped to a particular revision or release of
Git itself. For example:
$ make && ./git-remote-persistent-http -print_label
2.9.1.275.g75676c8
