Because rebar_core handles skipping apps, we had to specialcase the
handling in the case of update-deps because it has to do its own dep
handling. The way this was done is not particularly clean, but there
currently does not exist another way for a command to signal rebar_core
that it doesn't want rebar_core to pay attention to skip_apps.

With this change, however, you can update-deps even with local
conflicting changes/commits by simply skipping the deps you don't wish
to update, or whitelisting he ones you do wish to update.

Previously, update-deps on a dep tagged as {branch, ...} would do the
following:

  git fetch
  git checkout -q origin/<branch>

If you were already on that branch, the repo would end up in detached
head state. This is kind of annoying if you're doing local development.

This patch changes the behaviour to be

  git fetch
  git checkout -q <branch>
  git pull --ff-only --no-rebase -q <branch>

The intent of this is to move the branch's HEAD forward to match
upstream without destroying any local commits or changes, and without
accidentally causing merges or rebases. It will fail if the operation
can not be performed without losing history, merging or rebasing.

The previous behaviour has been around a very long time:

064195dc5a (L0R308)

It also exactly mirrors the download_source case, which is not really
true. With git tags and SHAs, one can assume that they don't change, but
branches move all the time.

This allows us to use `rebar_base_compiler:ok_tuple/3` and
`rebar_base_compiler:error_tuple/5` when returning from
`rebar_erlydtl_compiler`.

Use alternative way to detect net_kernel:stop/0 has succeeded as
suggested by Ulf Wiger.

The order in which modules, within an application, are loaded can be
important. This patch adds allows the specification of module
dependencies such that generate .appup/.relup scripts will load a
module's dependent modules before itself.

To use:

in rebar.config, add a module_deps

{module_deps, [{ModuleName, [DependentModuleName, ...]}]}.

ModuleName is the name of any module, followed by a list of module
names that it depends on.

The call to the grep program in rebar_ct:check_log/3 used single
quotation marks around the strings grep should search for. This works
well in most cases but fails on Windows 7 using GNU grep 2.5.4 as
installed by the Chocolatey package GnuWin 0.6.3.1 with the follow
message:

ERROR: cmd /q /c grep -e 'TEST COMPLETE' -e '{error,make_failed}'
ct/raw.log
failed with error: 2 and output:
grep: COMPLETE': No such file or directory

This commit changes the single quotation marks to double quotation
marks. I've tested this using GNU grep 2.5.3 on a Debian Linux machine
and it works well.

This ensures that deps of deps are updated AFTER the dep listing them
is, so that a complicated project with many layers of deps will be
updated correctly. Any new deps encountered along the way are also
cloned, and THEIR deps are also evaluated.

Also added was conflict detection, if a dep has differing versions or
source information, inherited from different places, that will be logged
at the end of update-deps, along with the origin of each conflicting
dep.

Previously, the configuration setting 'mib_opts' in rebar.config
would affect the call to snmpc:compile/2, so that (for example)
verbosity could be controlled.  However, the subsequent call to
snmpc:mib_to_hrl/1 did not include any of these options, so it
did not appear to be possible to control the verbosity of the
process of converting a MIB to a .hrl file.  To make matters
worse, the default was to dump a full trace -- including debug
output and various logging -- so the act of compiling a large
number of MIBs could result in a huge amount of "noisy" output
that hid any signal (meaningful warnings, errors, etc.).

This commit addresses that issue by replacing the call to
snmpc:mib_to_hrl/1 with a call to snmpc:mib_to_hrl/3 instead,
which includes an "options" argument that, at present, is only
capable of setting verbosity.  The verbosity setting is taken
from the 'mib_opts' setting in rebar_config, if present, and
the approriate kind of argument is passed to snmpc:mib_to_hrl/3.

It should be noted that snmpc:mib_to_hrl/3 is not listed in
Erlang's documentation, but does appear in the list of "API"
exports at the top of snmpc.erl in R15B01 (and remains that way
in R16B01), so this appears to be more of a documentation oversight
than the use of a deep, dark function call that was not intended
to be public.  snmpc:mib_to_hrl/3 accepts an #options{} record
(defined in lib/srdlib/include/erl_compile.hrl within Erlang's
source distribution), though most of the fields in that record
are ignored by snmpc:mib_to_hrl/3; only verbosity can be controlled
this way.

- restore support for "rebar help xref"
- update rebar.config.sample
- update 'help xref' string
- simplify new/changed functions by breaking out code or
  using simpler syntax where applicable

- refactor plugin dirs code to be simpler and easier to read
- use erlang-mode's default (%%) comments for portability/consistency
- make sure erlang-mode's indenter is used so that a future whole
  buffer indent doesn't get messed up

Also fix a single line exceeding max column.

The external deps_dir should have higher priority because
it is used by scripts and other build tools to set up the
location of the dependencies. This commit ensures that,
even if a project has set deps_dir in its config file has
lower preference than the command line one.

This commit fixes issue #98 by removing the ERL_LIBS and REBAR_DEPS_DIR
from the list of environment variables exported by the rebar_port_compiler
plugin.

If a plugin is in a dependency, rebar didn't search for it carefully
enough.

REBAR_DEPS_DIR is often needed when a nif needs to be linked with a raw
dependency.

Since R15B02, ct_run returns a non-zero exit code when some tests
failed or were auto-skipped. (See ticket OTP-9865.)

This fix makes it so a non-0 code doesn't cause an instant failure, but
still prompts for log verification before doing so. Given the behaviour
was acceptable for pre-R15B02, it should be valid with it with
post-R15B02.

The fix should also be backwards compatible.

rebar throws away some error messages, e.g. the ones generated if the yecc compiler is broken.

This allows overlay_vars to merge comma delimited var config files

This commit add support for reading mustache 'lists' from files, so you
can use the list section functionality when templating things.

An example of the list syntax is as follows:

{package_commands, {list, [[{name, "riak"}], [{name, "riak-admin"}], [{name, "search-cmd"}]]}}.

Then you can, for each of the list elements, render some text:

{{#package_commands}}
chmod +x bin/{{name}}
{{/package_commands}}

* Allow the following predefined analyses :
   undefined_function_calls, undefined_functions, locals_not_used,
   exports_not_used, deprecated_function_calls, deprecated_functions

* Trap some possible errors in case module information is not
    available

* ignore_xref works on all checks and can take {M,F,A} tuples.
  (Automatic behaviour export suppression still only works on
  exports_not_used)

* allow plugins to print help message for implemented commands
* append core rebar.config options to common 'rebar help' message
