However, the tool is now called git-ls-files.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.
Use `code snippet` style instead of 'emphasis' for `git cmd ...`
according to the following rules:
* The SYNOPSIS sections are left untouched.
* If the intent is that the user type the command exactly as given, it
is `code`.
If the user is only loosely referred to a command and/or option, it
remains 'emphasised'.

kill_some_child() compares the entire sockaddr_storage
structure (with the pad-bits zeroed out) when trying to
find out if connections originate from the same host.
However, sockaddr_storage contains the port-number for
the connection (which varies between connections), so
the comparison always fails.
Change the code so we only consider the host-address,
by introducing the addrcmp()-function that inspects
the address family and compare as appropriate.

Commit 842abf0 (Teach resolve_gitlink_ref() about the .git file, 2008-02-20)
taught resolve_gitlink_ref() to call read_gitfile_gently() to resolve .git
files. In this commit teach read_gitfile_gently() to interpret a relative
path in a .git file with respect to the file location.
This change allows update-index to recognize a submodule that uses a relative
path in its .git file. It previously failed because the relative path was
wrongly interpreted with respect to the superproject directory.

If the status of a ref is REF_STATUS_NONE, the remote helper will not
be told to push the ref (via a 'push' command).
However, the remote helper may still act on these refs.
If the helper does act on the ref, and prints a status for it, ignore
the report (ie. don't overwrite the status of the ref with it, nor the
message in the remote_status member) if the reported status is 'no
match'.
This allows the user to be alerted to more "interesting" ref statuses,
like REF_STATUS_NONFASTFORWARD.

Move the logic that detects up-to-date and non-fast-forward refs to a
new function in remote.[ch], set_ref_status_for_push().
Make transport_push() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
the push_refs() implementation. (As a side-effect, the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c now knows of non-fast-forward
pushes.)
Removed logic for detecting up-to-date refs from the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c, as transport_push() has already
done so for it.
Make cmd_send_pack() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
send_pack(), as transport_push() can't do it for send_pack() here.
Mark the test on the return status of non-fast-forward push to fail.
Git now exits with success, as transport.c::transport_push() does not
check for refs with status REF_STATUS_REJECT_NONFASTFORWARD nor does it
indicate rejected pushes with its return value.
Mark the test for ref status to succeed. As mentioned earlier, refs
might be marked as non-fast-forwards, triggering the push status
printing mechanism in transport.c.

Some refs can only be matched to a remote ref with an explicit refspec.
When such a ref is a non-fast-forward of its remote ref, test that
pushing them (with the explicit refspec specified) fails with a non-

The git-merge manpage was written in terms of merging a "remote",
which is no longer the case: you merge local or remote-tracking
branches; pull is for actual remotes.
Adjust the manpage accordingly. We refer to the arguments as
"commits", and change instances of "remote" to "other" (where branches
are concerned) or "theirs" (where conflict sides are concerned).
Remove the single reference to "pulling".

Given pathspecs that share a common prefix, ls-files optimized its call
into recursive directory reader by starting at the common prefix
directory.
If you have a directory "t" with an untracked file "t/junk" in it, but the
top-level .gitignore file told us to ignore "t/", this resulted in:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
t/junk
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/junk
t/junk
$ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
junk
We could argue that you are overriding the ignore file by giving a
patchspec that matches or being in that directory, but it is somewhat
unexpected. Worse yet, these behave differently:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/ .
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
t/junk
This patch changes the optimization so that it notices when the common
prefix directory that it starts reading from is an ignored one.

When you have "t" directory that is marked as ignored in the top-level
.gitignore file (or $GIT_DIR/info/exclude), running
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
from the top-level correctly excludes files in "t" directory, but
any of the following:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
$ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
would show untracked files in that directory.
