When a patch does not apply to what we have, but we know the preimage the
patch was made against, we apply the patch to the preimage to compute what
the patch author wanted the result to look like, and attempt a three-way
merge between the result and our version, using the intended preimage as
the base version.
When we are applying the patch using the index, we would additionally need
to add the object names of these three blobs involved in the merge, which
is not yet done in this step, but we add a field to "struct patch" so that
later write-out step can use it.

Grab the preimage blob the patch claims to be based on out of the object
store, apply the patch, and then call three-way-merge function. This step
still does not plug the actual three-way merge logic yet, but we are

making sure that "--reject" and "--3way" are not given together, and
making "--3way" imply "--index".

The clear_image() function did not clear the line table in the image
structure; this does not matter for the current callers, as the function
is only called from the codepaths that deal with binary patches where the
line table is never populated, and the codepaths that do populate the line
table free it themselves.
But it will start to matter when we introduce a codepath to retry a failed
patch, so make sure it clears and frees everything.

The original version of the git-clone just used mkdir(1) to create
the working directories. The version rewritten in C creates all
directories inside the working tree by using the mode argument of
0777 when calling mkdir(2) to let the umask take effect.
But the top-level directory of the working tree is created by
passing the mode argument of 0755 to mkdir(2), which results in an
overly tight restriction if the user wants to make directories group
writable with a looser umask like 002.

Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

A path containing a space must be quoted when used as an
argument to either the copy or rename commands (because
unlike other commands, the path is not the final thing on
the line for those commands).
Commit 6280dfdc3b (fast-export: quote paths in output,
2011-08-05) previously attempted to fix fast-export's
quoting by passing all paths through quote_c_style().
However, that function does not consider the space to be a
character which requires quoting, so let's special-case the
space inside print_path(). This will cause space-containing
paths to also be quoted in other commands where such quoting
is not strictly necessary, but it does not hurt to do so.
The test from 6280dfdc3b did not detect this because, while
it does introduce renames in the export stream, it does not
actually turn on rename detection, so they were presented as
pairs of deletions/adds. Using "-M" reveals the bug.
