In the prior implementation, enabling GIT_DIFF_UPDATE_INDEX would overwrite
entries in the index with the ones generated from scanning the working if the
OID was the same.

Because this OID comparison ignores file modes, this means an file in the
workdir with only an exec bit difference with the one in the index would end
up being overwritten, resulting in the exec bit being loss. There might be
other related bugs but the fix of comparing OIDs and file modes should
address them all.

The variable noid is guaranteed to be zero at this point of the code path.

Make sure to pack referenced objects for non-branches

If work_dir is not specified, use repo_dir to test if symlink is supported

Fix checking of return value for regcomp.

The regcomp function returns a non-zero value if compilation of
a regular expression fails. In most places we only check for
negative values, but positive values indicate an error, as well.
Fix this tree-wide, fixing a segmentation fault when calling
git_config_iterator_glob_new with an invalid regexp.

Fix describe without refs and OID fallbacks

GIT_UNUSED() macro generates code therefore it should be used after
variable declarations.

When no reference names could be found we did error out when trying to describe
a commit. This is wrong, though, when the option to fall back to a commit's
object ID is set.

Entry argument passed to git_index_add_frombuffer() should be const

gitignore: ignore vim swapfiles

Clear temporary buffer when filtering

If we are using a temporary buffer for filtering, be sure to clear
it before using it, in case the file that we are filtering is empty.

squash some leaks

Add a custom param to git_smart_subtransport_definition

WinHTTP for MinGW

note: use a git_buf to return the default namespace

examples: add remote example.

checkout: report correct invalid path

In case of a bad url or other error during the connection setup, we
close the stream via free.

fix changelog

mkdir-ext: Assume directories don't exist; fix all race cases

win32 resource: allow custom comments field in DLL

Allow merges of files (and trees) with whitespace problems/fixes

The smart transport has already take the payload param. For the
sub transport a payload param is useful for the implementer.
