cat-file --textconv/--filters: allow specifying the path separately
There are circumstances when it is relatively easy to figure out the
object name for a given path, but not the name of the containing tree.
For example, when looking at a diff generated by Git, the object names
are recorded, but not the revision. As a matter of fact, the revisions
from which the diff was generated may not even exist locally.
In such a case, the user would have to generate a fake revision just to
be able to use --textconv or --filters.
Let's simplify this dramatically, because we do not really need that
revision at all: all we care about is that we know the path. In the
scenario described above, we do know the path, and we just want to
specify it separately from the object name.
The --filters option applies the convert_to_working_tree() filter for
the path when showing the contents of a regular file blob object;
the contents are written out as-is for other types of objects.
This feature comes in handy when a 3rd-party tool wants to work with
the contents of files from past revisions as if they had been checked
out, but without detouring via temporary files.

The greater goal of this patch series is to develop the concept of a
reference store, which is a place that references, their values, and
their reflogs are stored, and to virtualize the reference interface so
that different types of ref_stores can be implemented. We will then, for
example, use ref_store instances to access submodule references and
worktree references.
Currently, we keep a ref_cache for each submodule that has had its
references iterated over. It is a far cry from a ref_store, but they are
stored the way we will want to store ref_stores, and ref_stores will
eventually have to hold the reference caches. So let's treat ref_caches
as embryo ref_stores, and build them out from there.
As the first step, simply rename `ref_cache` to `files_ref_store`, and
rename some functions and attributes correspondingly.

patch-ids: turn off rename detection
The patch-id code may be running inside another porcelain
like "git log" or "git format-patch", and therefore may have
set diff_detect_rename_default, either via the diff-ui
config, or by default since 5404c11 (diff: activate
diff.renames by default, 2016-02-25). This is the case even
if a command is run with `--no-renames`, as that is applied
only to the diff-options used by the command itself.
Rename detection doesn't help the patch-id results. It
_may_ actually hurt, as minor differences in the files that
would be overlooked by patch-id's canonicalization might
result in different renames (though I'd doubt that it ever
comes up in practice).
But mostly it is just a waste of CPU to compute these
renames.
Note that this does have one user-visible impact: the
prerequisite patches listed by "format-patch --base". There
may be some confusion between different versions of git as
older ones will enable renames, but newer ones will not.
However, this was already a problem, as people with
different settings for the "diff.renames" config would get
different results. After this patch, everyone should get the
same results, regardless of their config.

connect: advertized capability is not a ref
When cloning an empty repository served by standard git, "git clone" produces
the following reassuring message:
$ git clone git://localhost/tmp/empty

Meanwhile when cloning an empty repository served by JGit, the output is more

warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
This is a common command to run immediately after creating a remote repository
as preparation for adding content to populate it and pushing. The warning is
confusing and needlessly worrying.
The cause is that, since v3.1.0.201309270735-rc1~22 (Advertise capabilities
with no refs in upload service., 2013-08-08), JGit's ref advertisement includes
a ref named capabilities^{} to advertise its capabilities on, while git's ref
advertisement is empty in this case. This allows the client to learn about the
server's capabilities and is needed, for example, for fetch-by-sha1 to work
when no refs are advertised.
This also affects "ls-remote". For example, against an empty repository served
by JGit:
Git advertises the same capabilities^{} ref in its ref advertisement for push
but since it never did so for fetch, the client didn't need to handle this
case. Handle it.

The "git -c var[=val] cmd" facility to append a configuration
variable definition at the end of the search order was described in
git(1) manual page, but not in git-config(1), which was more likely
place for people to look for when they ask "can I make a one-shot
override, and if so how?"

Merge branch 'jk/difftool-command-not-found' into maint
"git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend
commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found
differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff"
does; the exit status codes 126 and above however are special in
that they are used to signal that the command is not executable,
does not exist, or killed by a signal. "git difftool" has been
taught to notice these exit status codes.

Merge branch 'sb/checkout-explit-detach-no-advice' into maint
"git checkout --detach <branch>" used to give the same advice
message as that is issued when "git checkout <tag>" (or anything
that is not a branch name) is given, but asking with "--detach" is
an explicit enough sign that the user knows what is going on. The
advice message has been squelched in this case.

When "git merge-recursive" works on history with many criss-cross

virtual merge bases could have overwritten each other by unintended
reuse of the same piece of memory.

The "t/" hierarchy is prone to get an unusual pathname; "make test"

arises).

"git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow

Merge branch 'jk/common-main' into maint
There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.
* jk/common-main:
mingw: declare main()'s argv as const

diff: remove dead code
When `len < 1`, len has to be 0 or negative, emit_line will then remove the
first character and by then `len` would be negative. As this doesn't
happen, it is safe to assume it is dead code.
This continues to simplify the code, which was started in b8d9c1a66b
(2009-09-03, diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file
comparison).
