37bb5d7443 strbuf_add_wrapped_text(): factor out strbuf_add_indented_text()
Add a new helper function, strbuf_add_indented_text(), to indent text
without a width limit, and call it from strbuf_add_wrapped_text().  It
respects both indent (applied to the first line) and indent2 (applied to
the rest of the lines); indent2 was ignored by the indent-only path of
strbuf_add_wrapped_text() before the patch.

Two simple test cases are added, one exercising strbuf_add_wrapped_text()
and the other strbuf_add_indented_text().

b482759983 grep: unset GREP_OPTIONS before spawning external grep
While we're at it, also unset GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS in case colouring
is not enabled, to be on the safe side.  The presence of these variables
alone is not sufficient to trigger coloured output with GNU grep, but
other implementations may behave differently.

73a1d050c4 User Manual: Write "Git" instead of "GIT"
In the Table of Contents, there is a notable inconsistency:
first there is "GIT Glossary", followed by "Git Quick Reference"
on the very next line.

Running "grep -c" on user-manual.txt, I find 780 occurrrences of
"git", 37 occurrences of "Git", and 9 occurrences of "GIT".
In general, "git" is the preferred spelling, except at the
beginning of a sentence.

Therefore, change "GIT Glossary" to "Git Glossary" for consistency
with the rest of the document.

Looking at the other eight occurrences of "GIT" I found one other
occurrence that should be changed:

* The mention of "StGIT". Looking at the web pages for "Stacked Git"
  at http://www.procode.org/stgit, I only saw the spelling "StGit",
  except in http://wiki.procode.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/StGIT_Tutorial,
  but that page was last updated in 2006.

The other seven occurrences should not be changed:

* Three occurrences were in the output of 'git show-branch' run
  on the git.git repository.

* One occurrence was in the output of 'git cat-file'.

* One occurrence was as part of the file name "GIT-VERSION-GEN".

* Two occurrences were in comments in scripts quoted in a description
  of Tony Luck's workflow.

625a860cb7 Fix truncated usage messages
The usage messages for some commands (such as 'git diff-tree')
are truncated because they don't fit in a fixed buffer of
1024 bytes.

It would be tempting to eliminate the buffer and the problem once
and for all by doing the output in three steps, but doing so could
(according to commit d048a96e) increase the likelyhood of messing
up the display.

So we just increase the size of the buffer.

We explain the user why uncommited changes can be problematic with merge,
and point to "commit" and "stash" for the solution. While talking about
commited Vs uncommited changes, we also make it clear that the result of

38a39647b4 apply: apply works outside a repository
The documentation for 'git apply' talks about applying a
patch/diff to the index and to the working tree, which seems
to imply that it will not work outside a git repository.

Actually 'git patch' works outside a repository (which can
be useful especially for applying binary or rename patches that
the standard "patch" utility cannot handle), so the documentation
should mention it.

Thanks to Junio for suggesting better wording.

64485b4aba Clarify and correct -z
The description for -z is too vague and general for the
apply, diff*, and log commands.

Change the description of -z for 'git log' to note that
commits will be separated by NULs.

Change the description of -z for 'git diff*' and 'git apply'
to note that it applies to the --numstat option, and for
'git diff*' also for --raw option.

Also correct the description of the "munging" of pathanmes that
takes place in the absence of -z for the 'git diff*' and
'git apply' commands, namely that apart from the characters mentioned,
double quotes will also be escaped and that the pathname will be
enclosed in double quotes if any characters are escaped.

61dfa1bb67 "rebase --onto A...B" replays history on the merge base between A and B
This is in spirit similar to "checkout A...B".  To re-queue a new set of
patches for a series that the original author prepared to apply on 'next'
on the same base as before, you would do something like this:

    $ git checkout next^0
    $ git am -s rerolled-series.mbox
    $ git rebase --onto next...jh/notes next

The first two commands recreates commits to be rebased as the original
author intended (i.e. applies directly on top of 'next'), and the rebase
command replays that history on top of the same commit the series being
replaced was built on (which is typically much older than the tip of
'next').

382e543122 Add branch management for releases to gitworkflows
The current man page does a reasonable job at describing branch management
during the development process, but it does not contain any guidance as to
how the branches are affected by releases.

Add a basic introduction to the branch management undertaken during a
git.git release, so that a reader may gain some insight into how the
integration, maintenance, and topic branches are affected during the
release transition, and is thus able to better design the process for their
own project.

Other release activities such as reviews, testing, and creating
distributions are currently out of scope.

809809bb75 diffcore-rename: reduce memory footprint by freeing blob data early
After running one round of estimate_similarity(), filespecs on either
side will have populated their cnt_data fields, and we do not need
the blob text anymore.  We used to retain the blob data to optimize
for smaller projects (not freeing the blob data here would mean that
the final output phase would not have to re-read it), but we are
efficient enough without such optimization for smaller projects anyway,
and freeing memory early will help larger projects.

This has the same effect as --no-replace-objects option; git ignores the

environment variable is set to "1" and exported to subprocesses in order
to propagate the same setting.

It is useful for example for scripts, as the git commands used in them can
now be aware that they must not read replace refs.

Allow some users of the revision machinery that want different semantics
from the "--stdin" option to disable it by setting an option in the

81f40262a4 t9700-perl-git.sh: Fix a test failure on Cygwin
The t/t9700/test.pl script uses method invocation syntax when
using the Cwd module to determine the current working directory.
This fails on cygwin, since cygwin perl specifically checks for
any arguments to the cwd() function and croak()'s with the message
"Usage: Cwd::cwd()". (In perl v5.8.8 distribution, see the file
perl-5.8.8/cygwin/cygwin.c lines 139-157)

In order to avoid the problem, we replace the method invocation
syntax with a simple function call.
