548428954a cvsserver: Note that CVS_SERVER can also be specified as method variable
Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to
specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in
CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an
environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root.

Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there
might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11
series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note
about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

70c7ac22de Add git-submodule command
This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.

Example .gitmodules layout:

[module "git"]
	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".

Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.

Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.

d45cc6e267 git-applymbox: Remove command
I believe noone uses git-applymbox, and noone definitely should, since it
is supposed to be completely superseded and everything by its younger
cousin git-am. The only known person in the universe to use it was Linus
and he declared some time ago that he will try to use git-am instead in his
famous dotest script.

The trouble is that git-applymbox existence creates confusing UI. I'm a bit
like a recycled newbie to the git porcelain and *I* was confused by
git-applymbox primitiveness until I've realized a while later that I'm of
course using the wrong command.

23615708e2 Teach git-describe how to run name-rev
Often users want to know not which tagged version a commit came
after, but which tagged version a commit is contained within.
This latter task is the job of git-name-rev, but most users are
looking to git-describe to do the job.

Junio suggested we make `git describe --contains` run the correct
tool, `git name-rev`, and that's exactly what we do here.  The output
of name-rev was adjusted slightly through the new --name-only option,
allowing describe to execv into name-rev and maintain its current
output format.

a5bbda8b7b Add an option to git-ls-tree to display also the size of blob
Add -l/--long option to git-ls-tree command, which displays
object size of a blob entry.  Object size is placed after
object id (left-justified with minimum width of 7 characters).
For non-blob entries `-' is used.

Rationale: for non-blob entries size of an object has no much
meaning, and is not very interesting.  Moreover, in planned
pack v4 tree objects would be constructed on demand, so tree
size would need to be calculated.

2dc53617a4 user-manual: Add section on ignoring files
The todo list at the end of the user manual says that something must be
said about .gitignore. Also, there seems to be a lack of documentation
on how to choose between the various types of ignore files (.gitignore
vs. .git/info/exclude, etc.).

This patch adds a section on ignoring files which try to introduce how
to tell git about ignored files, and how the different strategies
complement eachother.

The syntax of exclude patterns is explained in a simplified manner, with
a reference to git-ls-files(1) which already contains a more thorough
explanation.

93f9cc675d tutorial: revise index introduction
The embarassing history of this tutorial is that I started it without
really understanding the index well, so I avoided mentioning it.

And we all got the idea that "index" was a word to avoid using around
newbies, but it was reluctantly mentioned that *something* had to be
said.  The result is a little awkward: the discussion of the index never
actually uses that word, and isn't well-integrated into the surrounding
material.

Let's just go ahead and use the word "index" from the very start, and
try to demonstrate its use with a minimum of lecturing.

Also, remove discussion of using git-commit with explicit filenames.
We're already a bit slow here to get people to their first commit, and
I'm not convinced this is really so important.

eda6944919 user-manual: reorganize public git repo discussion
Helping a couple people set up public repos recently, I wanted to point
them at this piece of the user manual, but found it wasn't as helpful as
it could be:

	- It starts with a big explanation of why you'd want a public
	  repository, not necessary in their case since they already knew
	  why they wanted that.  So, separate that out.
	- It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http
	  export information first.  Fix that.

Also group all the public repo subsections into a single section, and do
some miscellaneous related editing.

9e2163ea45 user-manual: move howto/using-topic-branches into manual
Move howto/using-topic-branches into the user manual as an example for
the "sharing development" chapter.  While we're at it, remove some
discussion that's covered in earlier chapters, modernize somewhat (use
separate-heads setup, remotes, replace "whatchanged" by "log", etc.),
and replace syntax we'd need to explain by syntax we've already covered
(e.g. old..new instead of new ^old).

The result may not really describe what Tony Luck does any more.... Hope
that's not annoying.

There seems to be a perception that the howto's are bit-rotting a
little.  The manual might be a more visible location for some of them,
and make-dist.txt seems like a good candidate to include as an example
in the manual.

For now, incorporate much of it verbatim.  Later we may want to update
the example a bit.

343cad9217 glossary: expand and clarify some definitions, prune cross-references
Revise and expand some of the definitions in the glossary, based in part
on a recent thread started by a user looking for help with some of the
jargon.  I've borrowed some of the language from Linus's email on that
thread.  (I'm assuming standing permission to plagiarize Linus's
email....)

Also start making a few changes to mitigate the appearance of
"circularity" mentioned in that thread:
	- feel free to use somewhat longer definitions and to explain
	  some things more than once instead of relying purely on
	  cross-references
	- don't use cross-references when they're redundant: eliminate
	  self-references and repeated references to the same entry.

af9b54bb2c Use $Id$ as the ident attribute keyword rather than $ident$ to be consistent with other VCSs
$Id$ is present already in SVN and CVS; it would mean that people
converting their existing repositories won't have to make any changes to
the source files should they want to make use of the ident attribute.

Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it
seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it.

I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;
monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist.  I can't think of a good reason not
to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of
$ident$.

960ccca680 Custom compression levels for objects and packs
Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.

Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.  This is the "pack compression level".

Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules,  or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true.  Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.

Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes,  since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.

In either case,  the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level,  instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.

This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre:
[PATCH] allow for undeltified objects not to be reused
[PATCH] make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"

726f852b0e deprecate the new loose object header format
Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.

Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.

This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

Currently non deltified object data is always reused when possible.
This means that any change to core.compression has no effect on those
objects as they don't get recompressed when repacking them.

Let's add a --no-reuse-object flag to git-repack in order to force
recompression of all objects when desired.

while users are still exploring git. It's important to mention
version 1.5.1 since these documents provide example commands that
won't work with previous versions of git.

171af11082 Add --no-rebase option to git-svn dcommit
git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back
to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the
last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when
using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by
StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this
behavior. And document it, too!

86b9e017e4 git-tag(1): -v option is a subcommand; fix code block
When the -v is passed, git-tag will exit after it is processed like it
does with the -d and -l options. Additionally, missing code block caused
wrong rendering of an option example.
