Once upon a time, "git rev-parse ref@{9999999}" did not
generate an error. Therefore when we got an invalid stash
reference in "stash apply", we could end up not noticing
until quite late. Commit b0f0ecd (detached-stash: work
around git rev-parse failure to detect bad log refs,
2010-08-21) handled this by checking for the "Log for stash
has only %d entries" warning on stderr when we validated the
ref.
A few days later, e6eedc3 (rev-parse: exit with non-zero
status if ref@{n} is not valid., 2010-08-24) fixed the
original issue. That made the extra stderr test superfluous,
but also introduced a new bug. Now the early call to:
git rev-parse --symbolic "$@"
fails, but we don't notice the exit code. Worse, its empty
output means we think the user didn't provide us a ref, and
we try to apply stash@{0}.
This patch checks the rev-parse exit code and fails early in
the revision parsing process. We can also get rid of the
stderr test; as a bonus, this means that "stash apply" can
now run under GIT_TRACE=1 properly.

rebase -i: clarify in-editor documentation of "exec"

The hints in the current "instruction sheet" template look like so:
# Rebase 3f14246..a1d7e01 onto 3f14246
#
# Commands:
# p, pick = use commit
# r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
# x <cmd>, exec <cmd> = Run a shell command <cmd>, and stop if it fails
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#
This does not make it clear that the format of each line is
<insn> <commit id> <explanatory text that will be printed>
but the reader will probably infer that from the automatically
generated pick examples above it.
What about the "exec" instruction? By analogy, I might imagine that
the format of that line is "exec <command> <explanatory text>", and
the "x <cmd>" hint does not address that question (at first I read it
as taking an argument <cmd> that is the name of a shell). Meanwhile,
the mention of <cmd> makes the hints harder to scan as a table.
So remove the <cmd> and add some words to remind the reader that
"exec" runs a command named by the rest of the line. To make room, it
is left to the manpage to explain that that command is run using
$SHELL and that nonzero status from that command will pause the
rebase.
Wording from Junio.

Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty
subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the
general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories.
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include
an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit:
M 040000 4b825dc642 subdir
One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree
corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a
subtree. It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree
--prefix' to treat such commands as requests to remove the subtree.

When you give a non-existent branch to git-rebase, it spits
out the usage. This can be confusing, since you may
understand the usage just fine, but simply have made a
mistake in the branch name.

$ git rebase origin bogus
Usage: git rebase ...
After:
$ git rebase origin bogus
fatal: no such branch: bogus

In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:
1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
current branch instead of producing an error.
2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
explicit "--" is better:
# before
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Could not checkout bogus
# after
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
fatal: invalid reference: bogus
Could not checkout bogus
The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

t1510: fix typo in the comment of a test
Documentation updates for 'GIT_WORK_TREE without GIT_DIR' historical usecase
Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir
tests: compress the setup tests
tests: cosmetic improvements to the repo-setup test
t/README: hint about using $(pwd) rather than $PWD in tests

The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.
However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.

The current treatment of "git reset --keep" emphasizes how it
differs from --hard (treatment of local changes) and how it breaks
down into plumbing (git read-tree -m -u HEAD <commit> followed by git
update-ref HEAD <commit>). This can discourage people from using
it, since it might seem to be a complex or niche option.
Better to emphasize what the --keep flag is intended for --- moving
the index and worktree from one commit to another, like "git checkout"
would --- so the reader can make a more informed decision about the
appropriate situations in which to use it.

The errno check added in commit 3ba7a06 "A loose object is not corrupt
if it cannot be read due to EMFILE" only checked for whether errno is
not ENOENT and thus incorrectly treated "no error" as an error
condition.
Because of that, it never reached the code path that would report that
the object is corrupted and instead caused funny errors like:
fatal: failed to read object 333c4768ce595793fdab1ef3a036413e2a883853: Success
So we have to extend the check to cover the case in which the object
file was successfully read, but its contents are corrupted.

New test helpers:
- setup_repo, to initialize a repository or gitfile pointing to a
repository, with core.bare and core.worktree set as specified;
- try_case, to run setup from a given directory and validate the
result, with GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE set as specified;
- try_repo, to initialize a repository and call "try_case" from the
toplevel and a subdirectory;
- run_wt_tests, to run a battery of tests that check for sane
behavior when GIT_WORK_TREE is set to various positions relative to
the .git dir and cwd.
Use these helpers to make the test shorter, less repetitive, and (one
hopes) easier to understand and modify.

problems when passing -v to the test[*]: the test infrastructure
echoes the tests before running them, and the TAP parser then sees
this test output and concludes that two tests failed and that the TAP
