aa416b22ea am: support --show-current-patch=diff to retrieve .git/rebase-apply/patch
When "git am --show-current-patch" was added in commit 984913a210 ("am:
add --show-current-patch", 2018-02-12), "git am" started recommending it
as a replacement for .git/rebase-merge/patch.  Unfortunately the suggestion
is somewhat misguided; for example, the output of "git am --show-current-patch"
cannot be passed to "git apply" if it is encoded as quoted-printable
or base64.  Add a new mode to "git am --show-current-patch" in order to
straighten the suggestion.

f3b4822899 am: support --show-current-patch=raw as a synonym for--show-current-patch
When "git am --show-current-patch" was added in commit 984913a210 ("am:
add --show-current-patch", 2018-02-12), "git am" started recommending it
as a replacement for .git/rebase-merge/patch.  Unfortunately the suggestion
is somewhat misguided; for example, the output "git am --show-current-patch"
cannot be passed to "git apply" if it is encoded as quoted-printable or
base64.  To simplify worktree operations and to avoid that users poke into
.git, it would be better if "git am" also provided a mode that copies
.git/rebase-merge/patch to stdout.

One possibility could be to have completely separate options, introducing
for example --show-current-message (for .git/rebase-apply/NNNN)
and --show-current-diff (for .git/rebase-apply/patch), while possibly
deprecating --show-current-patch.

That would even remove the need for the first two patches in the series.
However, the long common prefix would have prevented using an abbreviated
option such as "--show".  Therefore, I chose instead to add a string
argument to --show-current-patch.  The new argument is optional, so that
"git am --show-current-patch"'s behavior remains backwards-compatible.

The next choice to make is how to handle multiple --show-current-patch
options.  Right now, something like "git am --abort --show-current-patch"
is rejected, and the previous suggestion would likewise have naturally
rejected a command line like

	git am --show-current-message --show-current-diff

Therefore, I decided to also reject for example

	git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch=raw

In other words the whole of --show-current-patch=xxx (including the
optional argument) is treated as the command mode.  I found this to be
more consistent and intuitive, even though it differs from the usual
"last one wins" semantics of the git command line.

Add the code to parse submodes based on the above design, where for now
"raw" is the only valid submode.  "raw" prints the full e-mail message
just like "git am --show-current-patch".

bc8620b440 parse-options: convert "command mode" to a flag
OPTION_CMDMODE is essentially OPTION_SET_INT plus an extra check that
the variable had not set before.  In order to allow custom processing
of the option, for example a "command mode" option that also has an
argument, it would be nice to use OPTION_CALLBACK and not have to rewrite
the extra check on incompatible options.  In other words, making the
processing of the option orthogonal to the "only one of these" behavior
provided by OPTION_CMDMODE.

Add a new flag that takes care of the check, and modify OPT_CMDMODE to
use it together with OPTION_SET_INT.  The new flag still requires that the
option value points to an int, but any OPTION_* value can be specified as
long as it does not require a non-int type for opt->value.

49e268e23e mingw: safeguard better against backslashes in file names
In 224c7d70fa (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree
entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree
entries to check only index entries.

However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to
`add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under
certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection.

Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries
would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to
the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing
"transient" index entries).

In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-566771835
that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform
the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two
notable drawbacks:

- `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore
  the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the
  path, only that the path was invalid.

- The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and
  might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with
  backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be
  possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`.

Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because
`normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward
slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry.

The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the
validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code
paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths.

The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the
check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

a1087c9367 graph: fix lack of color in horizontal lines
In some cases, horizontal lines in rendered graphs can lose their
coloring. This is due to a use of graph_line_addch() instead of
graph_line_write_column(). Using a ternary operator to pick the
character is nice for compact code, but we actually need a column to
provide the color.

Add a test to t4215-log-skewed-merges.sh to prevent regression.

0d251c3291 graph: drop assert() for merge with two collapsing parents
When "git log --graph" shows a merge commit that has two collapsing
lines, like:

    | | | | *
    | |_|_|/|
    |/| | |/
    | | |/|
    | |/| |
    | * | |
    * | | |

we trigger an assert():

        graph.c:1228: graph_output_collapsing_line: Assertion
                      `graph->mapping[i - 3] == target' failed.

The assert was introduced by eaf158f8 ("graph API: Use horizontal
lines for more compact graphs", 2009-04-21), which is quite old.
This assert is trying to say that when we complete a horizontal
line with a single slash, it is because we have reached our target.

It is actually the _second_ collapsing line that hits this assert.
The reason we are in this code path is because we are collapsing
the first line, and in that case we are hitting our target now
that the horizontal line is complete. However, the second line
cannot be a horizontal line, so it will collapse without horizontal
lines. In this case, it is inappropriate to assert that we have
reached our target, as we need to continue for another column
before reaching the target. Dropping the assert is safe here.

The new behavior in 0f0f389f12 (graph: tidy up display of
left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15) caused the behavior change that
made this assertion failure possible. In addition to making the
assert possible, it also changed how multiple edges collapse.

In a larger example, the current code will output a collapse
as follows:

	| | | | | | *
	| |_|_|_|_|/|\
	|/| | | | |/ /
	| | | | |/| /
	| | | |/| |/
	| | |/| |/|
	| |/| |/| |
	| | |/| | |
	| | * | | |

However, the intended collapse should allow multiple horizontal lines
as follows:

	| | | | | | *
	| |_|_|_|_|/|\
	|/| | | | |/ /
	| | |_|_|/| /
	| |/| | | |/
	| | | |_|/|
	| | |/| | |
	| | * | | |

This behavior is not corrected by this change, but is noted for a later
update.

63020f175f commit-graph: prefer default size_mult when given zero
In 50f26bd ("fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting",
2019-09-02), the fetch builtin added the capability to write a
commit-graph using the "--split" feature. This feature creates
multiple commit-graph files, and those can merge based on a set
of "split options" including a size multiple. The default size
multiple is 2, which intends to provide a log_2 N depth of the
commit-graph chain where N is the number of commits.

However, I noticed during dogfooding that my commit-graph chains
were becoming quite large when left only to builds by 'git fetch'.
It turns out that in split_graph_merge_strategy(), we default the
size_mult variable to 2 except we override it with the context's
split_opts if they exist. In builtin/fetch.c, we create such a
split_opts, but do not populate it with values.

This problem is due to two failures:

 1. It is unclear that we can add the flag COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_SPLIT
    with a NULL split_opts.
 2. If we have a non-NULL split_opts, then we override the default
    values even if a zero value is given.

Correct both of these issues. First, do not override size_mult when
the options provide a zero value. Second, stop creating a split_opts
in the fetch builtin.

224c7d70fa mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree entries
During a clone of a repository that contained a file with a backslash in
its name in the past, as of v2.24.1(2), Git for Windows prints errors
like this:

	error: filename in tree entry contains backslash: '\'

The idea is to prevent Git from even trying to write files with
backslashes in their file names: while these characters are valid in
file names on other platforms, on Windows it is interpreted as directory
separator (which would obviously lead to ambiguities, e.g. when there is
a file `a\b` and there is also a file `a/b`).

Arguably, this is the wrong layer for that error: As long as the user
never checks out the files whose names contain backslashes, there should
not be any problem in the first place.

So let's loosen the requirements: we now leave tree entries with
backslashes in their file names alone, but we do require any entries
that are added to the Git index to contain no backslashes on Windows.

Note: just as before, the check is guarded by `core.protectNTFS` (to
allow overriding the check by toggling that config setting), and it
is _only_ performed on Windows, as the backslash is not a directory
separator elsewhere, even when writing to NTFS-formatted volumes.

An alternative approach would be to try to prevent creating files with
backslashes in their file names. However, that comes with its own set of
problems. For example, `git config -f C:\ProgramData\Git\config ...` is
a very valid way to specify a custom config location, and we obviously
do _not_ want to prevent that. Therefore, the approach chosen in this
patch would appear to be better.

This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2435
