When using git log --pretty='%N' without an explicit --show-notes, git
would segfault. This patches fixes this behaviour by loading the needed
notes datastructures if --pretty is used and the format contains %N.
When --pretty='%N' is used together with --no-notes, %N won't be
expanded.
This is an extension to a proposed patch by Jeff King.

Instead of breaking execution when no remote (as specified in the
variable dest) is specified when git-ls-remote is invoked, continue on
and let remote_get() handle it.
This way, we are able to use the default remotes (eg. "origin",
branch.<name>.remote), as git-fetch, git-push, and other users of
remote_get(), do.
If no suitable remote is found, exit with a message describing the
issue, instead of just the usage text, as we do previously.
Add several tests to check that git-ls-remote handles the
no-remote-specified situation.
Also add a test that "git ls-remote <pattern>" does not work; we are
unable to guess the remote in that situation, as are git-fetch and
git-push.
In that test, we are testing for messages coming from two separate
processes, but we should be OK, because the second message is triggered
by closing the fd which must happen after the first message is printed.

Until now, this has been part of the commit-tree builtin.
However, it is already used by other builtins (like commit,

library code.
The check_valid helper has to come along, too, but is given
a more library-ish name of "assert_sha1_type".
Otherwise, the code is unchanged. There are still a few

Currently when using a remote helper to clone a repository, the
remote helper will be passed the url of the target repository as
first argument (which represents the name of the remote). This name
is extracted from transport->remote->name, which is set by
builtin/clone.c when it calls remote_get with argv[0] as argument.
Fix this by passing the name remote will be set up as instead.
However, setup_reference calls remote_get before the remote is
added to the config file. This will result in an improperly
configured remote (in memory) if later on remote_get is called
with an argument that is not equal to the initial remote_get call
in setup_reference. Fix this by delaying the remote_get call until
after the remote has been added to the config file.

Similar to -b, --orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any
commit. After running "git checkout --orphan newbranch", you are on a
new branch "newbranch", and the first commit you create from this state
will start a new history without any ancestry.
"git checkout --orphan" keeps the index and the working tree files
intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose
trees resemble the ones from the original branch.
When creating a branch whose trees have no resemblance to the ones from
the original branch, it may be easier to start work on the new branch by
untracking and removing all working tree files that came from the
original branch, by running a 'git rm -rf .' immediately after running
"checkout --orphan".

When reverting a commit, the commit being merged is not the commit
to revert itself but its parent. Add “parent of” to the conflict
hunk label to make this more clear.
The conflict hunk labels are all pieces of a single string written in
the new get_message() function. Avoid some complication by using
mempcpy to advance a pointer as the result is written.
Also free the corresponding temporary buffer (it was leaked before).
This is not important because it is a small one-time allocation. It
would become a memory leak if unnoticed when libifying revert.
This patch uses calls to strlen() instead of integer constants in some
places. GCC will compute the length at compile time; I am not sure
about other compilers, but this is not performance-critical anyway.

git checkout --merge --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflict
hunks including text from the common ancestor. The added information
is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and merge tools tend to
understand it because it is very similar to what ‘diff3 -m’ produces.
Unlike current git, diff3 -m includes a label for the merge base on
the ||||||| line, and unfortunately, some tools cannot parse the
conflict hunks without it. Humans can benefit from a cue when
learning to interpreting the format, too. Mark the start of the text
from the old branch with a label based on the branch’s name.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing this output and its preimage

git checkout --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflicts hunks
including text from the common ancestor:

=======
theirside
>>>>>>> theirs
The added information is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and
merge tools can usually understand it without trouble because it looks
like output from ‘diff3 -m’.
diff3 includes a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line, and it
seems some tools (for example, Emacs 22’s smerge-mode) cannot parse
conflict hunks without such a label. Humans could use help in
interpreting the output, too. So change the marker for the start of the
text from the common ancestor to include the label “base”.
git rerere’s conflict identifiers are not affected: to parse conflict
hunks, rerere looks for whitespace after the ||||||| marker rather
than a newline, and to compute preimage ids, rerere has its own code
for creating conflict hunks. No other code in git tries to parse
conflict hunks.

imitating ‘diff3 -m’ output if the merge.conflictstyle configuration
option is set appropriately. Unlike ‘diff3 -m’, the output does not
include a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line of the output,

format is unchanged. All callers pass NULL for now.

The labels for the three participants in a potential conflict are all
optional arguments for the xdiff merge routine; if they are NULL, then
xdl_merge() can cope by omitting the labels from its output. Move
them to the xmparam structure to allow new callers to save some
keystrokes where they are not needed.
This also has the virtue of making the xdiff merge interface more
similar to merge_trees, which might make it easier to learn.

If context lines are to be printed, grep separates them with hunk marks
("--\n"). These marks are printed between matches from different files,
too. They are not printed before the first file, though.
Threading was disabled when context line printing was enabled because
avoiding to print the mark before the first line was an unsolved
synchronisation problem. This patch separates the code for printing
hunk marks for the threaded and the unthreaded case, allowing threading
to be turned on together with the common -ABC options.
->show_hunk_mark, which controls printing of hunk marks between files in
show_line(), is now set in grep_buffer_1(), but only if some results
have already been printed and threading is disabled. The threaded case
is handled in work_done().

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more

[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]

[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
