The current message is "bisecting %s" (or "bisecting branch %s").
"%s" is the current branch when we started bisecting. Clarify that to
avoid confusion with good and bad refs passed to "bisect" command.

This prints more helpful info when HEAD is detached: is it detached
because of bisect or rebase? What is the original branch name in those
cases? Is it detached because the user checks out a remote ref or a
tag (and which one)?

branch_get() can return NULL (so far on detached HEAD only) but some
code paths in builtin/branch.c cannot deal with that and cause
segfaults.
While at there, make sure to bail out when the user gives 2 or more
branches with --set-upstream-to or --unset-upstream, where only the
first branch is processed and the rest silently dropped.

Fix various error messages and conditions in "git branch", e.g. we

implemented removal of zero or more branches---request to remove no
branches was not rejected.

Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while

* nd/edit-branch-desc-while-detached:
branch: no detached HEAD check when editing another branch's description
|

Currently, a branch filter like `--contains`, `--merged`, or
`--no-merged` is ignored when we are not in listing mode.
For example:
git branch --contains=foo bar
will create the branch "bar" from the current HEAD, ignoring
the `--contains` argument entirely. This is not very
helpful. There are two reasonable behaviors for git here:
1. Flag an error; the arguments do not make sense.
2. Implicitly go into `--list` mode
This patch chooses the latter, as it is more convenient, and
there should not be any ambiguity with attempting to create
a branch; using `--contains` and not wanting to list is
nonsensical.
That leaves the case where an explicit modification option
like `-d` is given. We already catch the case where
`--list` is given alongside `-d` and flag an error. With
this patch, we will also catch the use of `--contains` and
other filter options alongside `-d`.

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.
The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users. They have a choice between
- Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and
- Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.
Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.
$ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit
so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

git branch reports the abbreviated hash of the head commit of
a deleted branch to make it easier for a user to undo the
operation. For symref branches this doesn't help. Print the
symref target instead for them.

Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid
commit. With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this
check is not done with -D.
The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should
never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better
to stop instead of adding to the mess. And a non-merged commit
may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the
stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them.
If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply.
Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced,
so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is
actually a valid commit. Skip them in that case. This allows
us to delete dangling symref branches.

"git branch --set-upstream origin/master" is a common mistake to
create a local branch 'origin/master' and set it to integrate with
the current branch. With a plan to deprecate this option, introduce

current branch to integrate with 'origin/master' remote tracking
branch.

mistaken use
This interface is error prone, and a better one (--set-upstream-to)
exists. Add a message listing the alternatives and suggest how to fix
a --set-upstream invocation in case the user only gives one argument
which causes a local branch with the same name as a remote-tracking
one to be created. The typical case is
git branch --set-upstream origin/master
when the user meant
git branch --set-upstream master origin/master
assuming that the current branch is master. Show a message telling the
user how to undo their action and get what they wanted. For the
command above, the message would be
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master.
If you wanted to make 'master' track 'origin/master', do this:
git branch -d origin/master
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master

Branch names are usually in ASCII so they are not the problem. The
problem most likely comes from "(no branch)" translation, which is
in UTF-8 and makes display-width calculation just wrong. Clarify
this by renaming the field "len" in struct ref_item to "width", as
it stores the display-width and is used to compute the width of the
screen needed to show the names of all the branches, and compute the
display width using utf8_strwidth(), not byte-length with strlen().
Update document to mention the fact that we may want ref names in
UTF-8. Encodings that produce invalid UTF-8 are safe as utf8_strwidth()
falls back to strlen(). The ones that incidentally produce valid UTF-8
sequences will cause misalignment.

The existing --set-uptream option can cause confusion, as it uses the
usual branch convention of assuming a starting point of HEAD if none
is specified, causing
git branch --set-upstream origin/master
to create a new local branch 'origin/master' that tracks the current
branch. As --set-upstream already exists, we can't simply change its
behaviour. To work around this, introduce --set-upstream-to which
accepts a compulsory argument indicating what the new upstream branch
should be and one optinal argument indicating which branch to change,
defaulting to HEAD.
The new options allows us to type
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master
to set the current branch's upstream to be origin's master.

print_ref_list looks up the merge_filter_ref and assumes that a valid
pointer is returned. When the object doesn't exist, it tries to
dereference a NULL pointer. This can be the case when git branch
--merged is given an argument that isn't a valid commit name.
Check whether the lookup returns a NULL pointer and die with an error
if it does. Add a test, while we're at it.

It is very easy to mistype the branch name when editing its description,
e.g.
$ git checkout -b my-topic master
: work work work
: now we are at a good point to switch working something else
$ git checkout master
: ah, let's write it down before we forget what we were doing
$ git branch --edit-description my-tpoic
The command does not notice that branch 'my-tpoic' does not exist. It is
not lost (it becomes description of an unborn my-tpoic branch), but is not
very useful. So detect such a case and error out to reduce the grief
factor from this common mistake.
This incidentally also errors out --edit-description when the HEAD points
at an unborn branch (immediately after "init", or "checkout --orphan"),
because at that point, you do not even have any commit that is part of
your history and there is no point in describing how this particular
branch is different from the branch it forked off of, which is the useful
bit of information the branch description is designed to capture.
We may want to special case the unborn case later, but that is outside the
scope of this patch to prevent more common mistakes before 1.7.9 series
gains too much widespread use.
