When the git directory is accessed through a symlink like

$TRASH_DIRECTORY is /tmp/git-symlink/t/trash directory.t9903-bash-prompt

Documentation: add caveats about I/O buffering for check-{attr,ignore}
check-attr and check-ignore have the potential to deadlock callers
which do not read back the output in real-time. For example, if a
caller writes N paths out and then reads N lines back in, it risks
becoming blocked on write() to check-*, and check-* is blocked on
write back to the caller. Somebody has to buffer; the pipe buffers
provide some leeway, but they are limited.

check-ignore: allow incremental streaming of queries via --stdin
Some callers, such as the git-annex web assistant, find it useful to
invoke git check-ignore as a persistent background process, which can
then have queries fed to its STDIN at any point, and the corresponding
response consumed from its STDOUT. For this we need to invoke
check_ignore() once per line of standard input, and flush standard
output after each result.
The above use case suggests that empty STDIN is actually a reasonable
scenario (e.g. when the caller doesn't know in advance whether any
queries need to be fed to the background process until after it's
already started), so we make the minor behavioural change that "no
pathspec given." is no longer emitted in when STDIN is empty.
Even though check_ignore() could now be changed to operate on a single
pathspec, we keep it operating on an array of pathspecs since that is
a more convenient way of consuming the existing pathspec API.

check-ignore: move setup into cmd_check_ignore()
Initialisation of the dir_struct and path_exclude_check structs was

called once per line of STDIN when --stdin is given. Therefore moving
the initialisation code out into cmd_check_ignore() ensures that
initialisation is still only performed once per check-ignore

immediately.
While we're adding tests, let's also confirm that the remote-helper
dying is also detected when importing refs. We currently do so
robustly when the helper uses the "done" feature (and that is what

doc/http-backend: give some lighttpd config examples
The examples in the documentation are all for Apache. Let's
at least cover the basics: an anonymous server, an
authenticated server, and a "half auth" server with
anonymous read and authenticated write.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When the http-backend is set up to allow anonymous read but
authenticated write, the http-backend manual suggests
catching only the "/git-receive-pack" POST of the packfile,
not the initial "info/refs?service=git-receive-pack" GET in
which we advertise refs.
This does work and is secure, as we do not allow any write
during the info/refs request, and the information in the ref
advertisement is the same that you would get from a fetch.
However, the configuration required by the server is
slightly more complex. The default `http.receivepack`
setting is to allow pushes if the webserver tells us that
the user authenticated, and otherwise to return a 403
("Forbidden"). That works fine if authentication is turned
on completely; the initial request requires authentication,
and http-backend realizes it is OK to do a push.
But for this "half-auth" state, no authentication has
occurred during the initial ref advertisement. The
http-backend CGI therefore does not think that pushing
should be enabled, and responds with a 403. The client
cannot continue, even though the server would have allowed
it to run if it had provided credentials.
It would be much better if the server responded with a 401,
asking for credentials during the initial contact. But
git-http-backend does not know about the server's auth
configuration (so a 401 would be confusing in the case of a
true anonymous server). Unfortunately, configuring Apache to
recognize the query string and apply the auth appropriately
to receive-pack (but not upload-pack) initial requests is
non-trivial.
The site admin can work around this by just turning on
http.receivepack explicitly in its repositories. Let's
document this workaround.

http: re-word http error message
When we report an http error code, we say something like:
error: The requested URL reported failure: 403 Forbidden while accessing http://example.com/repo.git
Everything between "error:" and "while" is written by curl,
and the resulting sentence is hard to read (especially
because there is no punctuation between curl's sentence and
the remainder of ours). Instead, let's re-order this to give
better flow:
error: unable to access 'http://example.com/repo.git: The requested URL reported failure: 403 Forbidden
This is still annoyingly long, but at least reads more
clearly left to right.

http: simplify http_error helper function
This helper function should really be a one-liner that
prints an error message, but it has ended up unnecessarily
complicated:
1. We call error() directly when we fail to start the curl
request, so we must later avoid printing a duplicate
error in http_error().
It would be much simpler in this case to just stuff the
error message into our usual curl_errorstr buffer
rather than printing it ourselves. This means that
http_error does not even have to care about curl's exit
value (the interesting part is in the errorstr buffer
already).
2. We return the "ret" value passed in to us, but none of
the callers actually cares about our return value. We
can just drop this entirely.

remote-curl: consistently report repo url for http errors
When we report http errors in fetching the initial ref
advertisement, we show the full URL we attempted to use,
including "info/refs?service=git-upload-pack". While this
may be useful for debugging a broken server, it is
unnecessarily verbose and confusing for most cases, in which
the client user is not even the same person as the owner of
the repository.
Let's just show the repository URL; debugging can happen
with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE, which shows way more useful
information, anyway.
At the same time, let's also make sure to mention the
repository URL when we report failed authentication
(previously we said only "Authentication failed"). Knowing
the URL can help the user realize why authentication failed
(e.g., they meant to push to remote A, not remote B).
