Some reimplementations of Git does not write all the stat info back
to the index due to their implementation limitations (e.g. jgit
running on Java). A configuration option can tell Git to ignore
changes to most of the stat fields and only pay attention to mtime
and size, which these implementations can reliably update. This
avoids excessive revalidation of contents.
* rr/minimal-stat:
Enable minimal stat checking
An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
* mh/ceiling:
string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes
longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split()
Introduce new function real_path_if_valid()
real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd
Introduce new static function real_path_internal()

Add an extra hook so that "git push" that is run without making
sure what is being pushed is sane can be checked and rejected (as
opposed to the user deciding not pushing).

Add sample pre-push hook script
push: Add support for pre-push hooks

Add a new command "git check-ignore" for debugging .gitignore
files.
The variable names may want to get cleaned up but that can be done
in-tree.

Various 'reset' optimizations and clean-ups, followed by a change
to allow "git reset" to work even on an unborn branch.
* mz/reset-misc:
reset: update documentation to require only tree-ish with paths
reset [--mixed]: use diff-based reset whether or not pathspec was given
reset: allow reset on unborn branch
reset $sha1 $pathspec: require $sha1 only to be treeish
reset.c: inline update_index_refresh()
reset.c: finish entire cmd_reset() whether or not pathspec is given
reset [--mixed]: only write index file once
reset.c: move lock, write and commit out of update_index_refresh()
reset.c: move update_index_refresh() call out of read_from_tree()
reset.c: replace switch by if-else
reset: avoid redundant error message
reset --keep: only write index file once
reset.c: share call to die_if_unmerged_cache()
reset.c: extract function for updating {ORIG_,}HEAD
reset.c: remove unnecessary variable 'i'
reset.c: extract function for parsing arguments
reset: don't allow "git reset -- $pathspec" in bare repo
reset.c: pass pathspec around instead of (prefix, argv) pair
reset $pathspec: exit with code 0 if successful
reset $pathspec: no need to discard index
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.
Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.
This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

Add a configuration variable to set default clean-up mode other
than "strip".
* rt/commit-cleanup-config:
commit: make default of "cleanup" option configurable
Teach commands in the "log" family to optionally pay attention to
the mailmap.
* ap/log-mailmap:
log --use-mailmap: optimize for cases without --author/--committer search
log: add log.mailmap configuration option
log: grep author/committer using mailmap

pretty: use mailmap to display username and email
mailmap: add mailmap structure to rev_info and pp
mailmap: simplify map_user() interface

string-list: allow case-insensitive string list
* git://bogomips.org/git-svn:
git-svn: teach find-rev to find near matches
git svn: do not overescape URLs (fallback case)
Git::SVN::Editor::T: pass $deletions to ->A and ->D
In the precedence order, the environment variable $EMAIL comes
between the built-in default (i.e. taking value by asking the
system's gethostname() etc.) and the user.email configuration
variable; the documentation implied that it is stronger than the
configuration like $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL is, which is wrong.
* pe/doc-email-env-is-trumped-by-config:
git-commit-tree(1): correct description of defaults
Add support for a pre-push hook which can be used to determine if the
set of refs to be pushed is suitable for the target repository. The
hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the
destination repository.
Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of
the following form to the hook's standard input:
<local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF
If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted.
This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based
on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be
pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

When a single SVN repository is split into multiple Git repositories
many SVN revisions will exist in only one of the Git repositories
created. For some projects the only way to build a working artifact is
to check out corresponding versions of various repositories, with no
indication of what those are in the Git world - in the SVN world the
revision numbers are sufficient.
By adding "--before" to "git-svn find-rev" we can say "tell me what this
repository looked like when that other repository looked like this":
git svn find-rev --before \
r$(git --git-dir=/over/there.git svn find-rev HEAD)

For a clone or sync, --branch says where the newly imported
branch should go, or which existing branch to sync up. It
takes an argument, which is currently either something that
starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended.
Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should
go in remotes/p4/ in most situations. Make that the new default,
and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.
