[PATCH 0/9] subtree: fix split and merge after annotated tag was squash-merged

This series fixes a limitation of 'git subtree merge' and 'git subtree split' that would fail when the previous squash-merge merged an annotated tag of the subtree repository that is missing locally.

The 5 first commits are small improvements for coherency with the rest of the code base, robustness, user experience and maintanability.

Commits 6-7 are small refactors that prepare for the fix in the next commits. Commits 8-9 fix the behaviour for merge and split, respectively.

I'm CC-ing people that worked on 'git subtree' recently.

Cheers!

Philippe Blain (9):
  test-lib-functions: mark 'test_commit' variables as 'local'
  subtree: use 'git rev-parse --verify [--quiet]' for better error
    messages
  subtree: add 'die_incompatible_opt' function to reduce duplication
  subtree: prefix die messages with 'fatal'
  subtree: define a variable before its first use in
    'find_latest_squash'
  subtree: use named variables instead of "$@" in cmd_pull
  subtree: process 'git-subtree-split' trailer in separate function
  subtree: fix squash merging after annotated tag was squashed merged
  subtree: fix split after annotated tag was squashed merged
