When running "fetch -q", a long silence while the sender side

005a1de380 Merge branch 'dw/check-ignore-sans-index'
"git check-ignore" follows the same rule as "git add" and "git
status" in that the ignore/exclude mechanism does not take effect
on paths that are already tracked.  With "--no-index" option, it
can be used to diagnose which paths that should have been ignored
have been mistakenly added to the index.

8231fa6ae1 check-ignore: Add option to ignore index contents
check-ignore currently shows how .gitignore rules would treat untracked
paths. Tracked paths do not generate useful output.  This prevents
debugging of why a path became tracked unexpectedly unless that path is
first removed from the index with `git rm --cached <path>`.

The option --no-index tells the command to bypass the check for the
path being in the index and hence allows tracked paths to be checked
too.

Whilst this behaviour deviates from the characteristics of `git add` and
`git status` its use case is unlikely to cause any user confusion.

Test scripts are augmented to check this option against the standard
ignores to ensure correct behaviour.

9ba89f484e Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.

The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.

So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

2233ad4534 Merge branch 'jc/push-cas'
Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.

The machinery is more or less ready.  The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).

The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily).  It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

115dedd722 upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds
There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default.
They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than
the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case
that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send
a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing
progress and resetting the keepalive timer.

We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a
reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of
5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer
our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive
packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider
the connection hung.

05e95155a1 upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation
When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet
period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects
and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the
client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect,
pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is
ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even
minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed).
Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this
situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung.

This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no
data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send
an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are
still working on it.

44e1e4d67d git: run in a directory given with -C option
This is similar in spirit to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...".

It takes more keypresses to invoke git command in a different
directory without leaving the current directory:

    1. (cd ~/foo && git status)
       git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status
       GIT_DIR=~/foo/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=~/foo git status
    2. (cd ../..; git grep foo)
    3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done

The methods shown above are acceptable for scripting but are too
cumbersome for quick command line invocations.

With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes:

    1. git -C ~/foo status
    2. git -C ../.. grep foo
    3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done

A new test script is added to verify the behavior of this option with
other path-related options like --git-dir and --work-tree.

prefer a "link" to point to an HTML file instead of a text file if an HTML

2556b9962e status: disable display of '#' comment prefix by default
Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.

Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.

Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).
