A function that runs a hook is used in several Git commands.
builtin-commit.c has the one that is most general for cases without
piping. The one in builtin-gc.c prints some useful warnings.
This patch moves a merged version of these variants into libgit and
lets the other builtins use this libified run_hook().
The run_hook() function used in receive-pack.c feeds the standard
input of the pre-receive or post-receive hooks. This function is
renamed to run_receive_hook() because the libified run_hook() cannot
handle this.

In the case of

git-checkout resulted in a Segmentation fault, because there is no new

This patch makes use of the null SHA as it is set for the old branch.
While at it, I removed the xstrdup() around the sha1_to_hex(...) calls
in builtin-checkout.c/post_checkout_hook() because sha1_to_hex()
uses four buffers for the hex-dumped SHA and we only need two.

"git checkout -b newbranch $commit^{tree}" mistakenly created a new branch
rooted at the current HEAD, because in that case, the two structure fields
used to see if the command was invoked without any argument (hence it
needs to default to checking out the HEAD) were populated incorrectly.
Upon seeing a command line argument that we took as a rev, we should store
that string in new.name, even if that does not name a commit. This will
correctly trigger the existing safety logic.

RelNotes
Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07)
tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local
changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while
attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching
out of an un-checked-out state.
However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow
switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out
another branch.
The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this,
by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same.
It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated
macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an
un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE
did not exist when populating the in-core index structure. A few places
the earlier commit 5521883 added the check for the initial checkout
condition are updated to use this function.

The logic to checkout a different commit implements the safety to never
lose user's local changes. For example, switching from a commit to
another commit, when you have changed a path that is different between
them, need to merge your changes to the version from the switched-to
commit, which you may not necessarily be able to resolve easily. By
default, "git checkout" refused to switch branches, to give you a chance
to stash your local changes (or use "-m" to merge, accepting the risks of
getting conflicts).
This safety, however, had one deliberate hole since early June 2005. When
your local change was to remove a path (and optionally to stage that
removal), the command checked out the path from the switched-to commit
nevertheless.
This was to allow an initial checkout to happen smoothly (e.g. an initial
checkout is done by starting with an empty index and switching from the
commit at the HEAD to the same commit). We can tighten the rule slightly
to allow this special case to pass, without losing sight of removal
explicitly done by the user, by noticing if the index is truly empty when
the operation begins.
For historical background, see:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/4641/focus=4646

The shell version of git checkout would print:
Previous HEAD position was 1234abcd... commit subject line
when leaving a detached HEAD for another commit. Ths C
version attempted to implement this, but got the condition
wrong such that the behavior never triggered.
This patch simplifies the conditions for showing the message
to the ones used by the shell version: any time we are
leaving a detached HEAD and the new and old commits are not
the same (this suppresses it for the "git checkout -b new"
case recommended when you enter the detached state).

This new option does essentially the same thing as -m option when checking
unmerged paths out of the index, but it uses the specified style instead
of configured merge.conflictstyle.
Setting "merge.conflictstyle" to "diff3" is usually less useful than using
the default "merge" style, because the latter allows a conflict that
results by both sides changing the same region in a very similar way to
get simplified substancially by reducing the common lines. However, when
one side removed a group of lines (perhaps a function was moved to some
other file) while the other side modified it, the default "merge" style
does not give any clue as to why the hunk is left conflicting. You would
need the original to understand what is going on.
The recommended use would be not to set merge.conflictstyle variable so
that you would usually use the default "merge" style conflict, and when
the result in a path in a particular merge is too hard to understand, use
"git checkout --conflict=diff3 $path" to check it out with the original to
review what is going on.

This makes it possible to avoid passing the labels of branches as
arguments to merge_recursive(), merge_trees() and
merge_recursive_generic().
It also takes care of subtree merge, output buffering, verbosity, and
rename limits - these were global variables till now in
merge-recursive.c.
A new function, named init_merge_options(), is introduced as well, it
clears the struct merge_info, then initializes with default values,
finally updates the default values based on the config and environment
variables.

This teaches git-checkout to recreate a merge out of unmerged
index entries while resolving conflicts.
With this patch, checking out an unmerged path from the index
now have the following possibilities:
* Without any option, an attempt to checkout an unmerged path
will atomically fail (i.e. no other cleanly-merged paths are
checked out either);
* With "-f", other cleanly-merged paths are checked out, and
unmerged paths are ignored;
* With "--ours" or "--theirs, the contents from the specified
stage is checked out;
* With "-m" (we should add "--merge" as synonym), the 3-way merge
is recreated from the staged object names and checked out.

During a conflicted merge when you have unmerged stages for a
path F in the index, if you said:
$ git checkout F
we rewrote F as many times as we have stages for it, and the
last one (typically "theirs") was left in the work tree, without
resolving the conflict.
This fixes it by noticing that a specified pathspec pattern
matches an unmerged path, and by erroring out.

The patch is twofold: it moves the option consistency checks just under
the parse_options call so that it doesn't get in the way of the tree
reference vs. pathspecs desambiguation.
The other part rewrites the way to understand arguments so that when
git-checkout fails it does with an understandable message. Compared to the
previous behavior we now have:
- a better error message when doing:
git checkout <blob reference> --
now complains about the reference not pointing to a tree, instead of
things like:
error: pathspec <blob reference> did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.
- a better error message when doing:
git checkout <path> --
It now complains about <path> not being a reference instead of the
completely obscure:
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.
- an error when -- wasn't used, and the first argument is ambiguous
(i.e. can be interpreted as both ref and as path).
