      git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names.
      Refuse to create funny refs in clone-pack, git-fetch and receive-pack.
      Ignore funny refname sent from remote
      Introduce notation "ref^{type}".

Martin Langhoff:

      rsh.c: typo fix

Note that "funny ref" bits are not strictly fixes but rather
backport from the "master" branch.  They will prevent refs and
heads with funny names from being created.  In addition, what is
in the master branch will start feeding the clients unwrapped
tag information to help Martin's findtags and possibly later
Cogito.  These backported "funny ref" changes are to prevent
clients on the "maint" branch from getting confused when talking
with newer git-upload-pack and when reading from info/refs file
prepared with newer git-update-server-info.

e1b10391ea Use git config file for committer name and email info
This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing.  This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.

The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately.  And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.

In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.

It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

17712991a5 Add ".git/config" file parser
This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.

The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:

	#
	# This is the config file, and
	# a '#' or ';' character indicates
	# a comment
	#

	; core variables
	[core]
		; Don't trust file modes
		filemode = false

	; Our diff algorithm
	[diff]
		external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
		renames = true

which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.

Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.

Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.

It was suggested to chain the if..else, but I chose not to, because
maintaining the nested if..else if..else..endif endif to match is a

This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read

The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

66bf85a462 [PATCH] Add "git-update-ref" to update the HEAD (or other) ref
This is a careful version of the script stuff that currently just
blindly writes HEAD with a new value.

You can use

	git-update-ref HEAD <newhead>

or

	git-update-ref HEAD <newhead> <oldhead>

where the latter version verifies that the old value of HEAD matches
oldhead.

It basically allows a "ref" file to be a symbolic pointer to another ref
file by starting with the four-byte header sequence of "ref:".

More importantly, it allows the update of a ref file to follow these
symbolic pointers, whether they are symlinks or these "regular file
symbolic refs".

NOTE! It follows _real_ symlinks only if they start with "refs/":
otherwise it will just try to read them and update them as a regular file
(ie it will allow the filesystem to follow them, but will overwrite such a
symlink to somewhere else with a regular filename).

In general, using

	git-update-ref HEAD "$head"

should be a _lot_ safer than doing

	echo "$head" > "$GIT_DIR/HEAD"

both from a symlink following standpoint _and_ an error checking
standpoint.  The "refs/" rule for symlinks means that symlinks that point
to "outside" the tree are safe: they'll be followed for reading but not
for writing (so we'll never write through a ref symlink to some other
tree, if you have copied a whole archive by creating a symlink tree).

91063bbc6c Multi-backend merge driver.
The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.

If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'.  Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.

If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree.  The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.

The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:

 - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.

 - They take input of this form:

	<common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>...

   That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
   current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
   the current branch.

 - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
   matched to the current <head>.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
   successfully auto-merges the given heads.  It should do
   update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
   index file will be used to record the merge result as a
   commit by the driver.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
   conflicts behind.  It should do update-cache for all the
   merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
   cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
   it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
   with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.

 - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
   1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.

As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on
'git resolve' and 'git octopus'.

The reverse patch application using "git apply" sometimes is too
rigid.  Since the user would get used to resolving conflicting merges
by hand during the normal merge experience, using the same machinery
would be more helpful rather than just giving up.

Cherry-picking and reverting are essentially the same operation.
You pick one commit, and apply the difference that commit introduces
to its own commit ancestry chain to the current tree.  Revert applies
the diff in reverse while cherry-pick applies it forward.  They share
the same logic, just different messages and merge direction.

This script uses the list of heads and their origin multi-head "git

The implementation tries to be strict for the sake of safety.  It
insists that your working tree is clean (no local changes) and matches
the HEAD, and when any of the merged heads does not automerge, the
whole process is aborted and tries to rewind your working tree is to

f76412ed6d [PATCH] Add 'git show-branch'.
The 'git show-branches' command turns out to be reasonably useful,
but painfully slow.  So rewrite it in C, using ideas from merge-base
while enhancing it a bit more.

 - Unlike show-branches, it can take --heads (show me all my
   heads), --tags (show me all my tags), or --all (both).

 - It can take --more=<number> to show beyond the merge-base.

 - It shows the short name for each commit in the extended SHA1
   syntax.

 - It can find merge-base for more than two heads.

Examples:

    $ git show-branch --more=6 HEAD

    is almost the same as "git log --pretty=oneline --max-count=6".

    $ git show-branch --merge-base master mhf misc

    finds the merge base of the three given heads.

    $ git show-branch master mhf misc

    shows logs from the top of these three branch heads, up to their
    common ancestor commit is shown.

    $ git show-branch --all --more=10

    is poor-man's gitk, showing all the tags and heads, and
    going back 10 commits beyond the merge base of those refs.

b05701c5b4 Make CFLAGS overridable from make command line.
This patch renames COPTS to CFLAGS, because it's COPTS that was user
overridable.  Also, -Wall is moved there because it's optional.  What
was CFLAGS is now ALL_CFLAGS, which users should not override.

Defines are added to DEFINES.  Since ALL_CFLAGS is recursively expanded,
it uses the final value of DEFINES.

Implicit rules are made explicit since the implicit rules use CFLAGS
rather than ALL_CFLAGS.  I believe that serious projects should not rely
on implicit rules anyway.  Percent rules are used because they are used
already and because they don't need the .SUFFIXES target.

[jc: in addition to updating the patch for 0.99.4, I fixed up a

the extended sha1 format.  Move the get_extended_sha1() out of
rev-parse, rename it to get_sha1() and make it available to
everybody else.

The one I posted earlier to the list had one bug where it did
not handle a name that ends with a digit correctly (it
incorrectly tried the "Nth parent" path).  This commit fixes it.

b1bf95bba2 [PATCH] Added hook in git-receive-pack
Just before updating a ref,

    $GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname old-sha1 new-sha1

is called if executable.  The hook can decline the ref to be
updated by exiting with a non-zero status, or allow it to be
updated by exiting with a zero status.  The mechanism also
allows e.g sending of a mail with pushed commits on the remote
repository.

Documentation update with an example hook is included.

jc: The credits of the basic idea and initial implementation go
to Josef, but I ended up rewriting major parts of his patch, so
bugs are all mine.  Also I changed the semantics for the hook
from his original version (which were post-update hook) so that
the hook can optionally decline to update the ref, and also can
be used to implement the overall cleanups.  The latter was
primarily to implement a suggestion from Linus that calling
update-server-info should be made optional.

8cc6a08319 [PATCH] Making it easier to find which change introduced a bug
This adds a new "git bisect" command.

 - "git bisect start"
	start bisection search.

 - "git bisect bad <rev>"
	mark some version known-bad (if no arguments, then current HEAD)

 - "git bisect good <revs>..."
	mark some versions known-good (if no arguments, then current HEAD)

 - "git bisect reset <branch>"
	done with bisection search and go back to your work (if
	no arguments, then "master").

The way you use it is:

	git bisect start
	git bisect bad			# Current version is bad
	git bisect good v2.6.13-rc2	# v2.6.13-rc2 was the last version
					# tested that was good

When you give at least one bad and one good versions, it will
bisect the revision tree and say something like:

	Bisecting: 675 revisions left to test after this

and check out the state in the middle. Now, compile that kernel, and boot
it. Now, let's say that this booted kernel works fine, then just do

	git bisect good			# this one is good

which will now say

	Bisecting: 337 revisions left to test after this

and you continue along, compiling that one, testing it, and depending on
whether it is good or bad, you say "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad",
and ask for the next bisection.

Until you have no more left, and you'll have been left with the first bad
kernel rev in "refs/bisect/bad".

Oh, and then after you want to reset to the original head, do a

	git bisect reset

to get back to the master branch, instead of being in one of the bisection
branches ("git bisect start" will do that for you too, actually: it will
reset the bisection state, and before it does that it checks that you're
not using some old bisection branch).

Not really any harder than doing series of "quilt push" and "quilt pop",
now is it?

[jc: This patch is a rework based on what Linus posted to the
     list.  The changes are:

  - The original introduced four separate commands, which was
    three too many, so I merged them into one with subcommands.
    
  - Since the next thing you would want to do after telling it
    "bad" and "good" is always to bisect, this version does it
    automatically for you.

  - I think the termination condition was wrong.  The original
    version checked if the set of revisions reachable from next
    bisection but not rechable from any of the known good ones
    is empty, but if the current bisection was a bad one, this
    would not terminate, so I changed it to terminate it when
    the set becomes a singleton or empty.

  - Removed the use of shell array variable.

Doing the directory case will require a bit more scripting.. Something like

	newfiles=($(git-ls-files | sed ':^$src: s:^$src:$dst:'))
	mv $src $dst && git-update-cache --add --remove -- "${oldfiles[@]}" "${newfiles[@]}"

8f3f9b09dc [PATCH] Add update-server-info.
The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files
to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull
from it via a dumb transport protocols.  Currently, the
following files are produced.

 - The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags
   available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their
   SHA1.  This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on
   the client side.

 - The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
   reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory.  This
   file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
   side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
   git-show-rev-cache command.

 - The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs
   available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
   commits and tags contained in them.  Along with the other two
   files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull
   decisions.

The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.

In addition, building of the rev-cache file can be done by a
standalone git-build-rev-cache command separately.

It's meant to be used by "git fetch" for the local and ssh case.

It doesn't actually do the fetching now, but it does discover the common

f3bf922409 [PATCH] verify-pack updates.
Nico pointed out that having verify_pack.c and verify-pack.c was
confusing.  Rename verify_pack.c to pack-check.c as suggested,
and enhances the verification done quite a bit.

 - Built-in sha1_file unpacking knows that a base object of a
   deltified object _must_ be in the same pack, and takes
   advantage of that fact.

 - Earlier verify-pack command only checked the SHA1 sum for the
   entire pack file and did not look into its contents.  It now
   checks everything idx file claims to have unpacks correctly.

 - It now has a hook to give more detailed information for
   objects contained in the pack under -v flag.

575f497456 Add first cut at "git-receive-pack"
It's not working yet, but it's at the point where I want to be able to
track my changes.  The theory of operation is that this is the "remote"
side of a "git push".  It can tell us what references the remote side
has, receives out reference update commands and a pack-file, and can
execute the unpacking command.

f9253394a2 [PATCH] Add git-verify-pack command.
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the
index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency.

This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache
when the --full flag is used.

During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx
file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum
stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check.
We may further want to check the pack signature and version when
we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch.

Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led
to a random fatal error later.  This version explicitly die()s
when such an error is detected.

01247d8742 Make git pack files use little-endian size encoding
This makes it match the new delta encoding, and admittedly makes the
code easier to follow.

This also updates the PACK file version to 2, since this (and the delta
encoding change in the previous commit) are incompatible with the old
format.

c4584ae3fd [PATCH] Remove "delta" object representation.
Packed delta files created by git-pack-objects seems to be the
way to go, and existing "delta" object handling code has exposed
the object representation details to too many places.  Remove it
while we refactor code to come up with a proper interface in
sha1_file.c.

c38138cd78 git-pack-objects: write the pack files with a SHA1 csum
We want to be able to check their integrity later, and putting the
sha1-sum of the contents at the end is a good thing.  The writing
routines are generic, so we could try to re-use them for the index file,
instead of having the same logic duplicated.

Update unpack-objects to know about the extra 20 bytes at the end
of the index.

102fc37f3b [PATCH] Add git-relink-script to fix up missing hardlinks
This will scan 2 or more object repositories and look for common objects, check
if they are hardlinked, and replace one with a hardlink to the other if not.

This version warns when skipping files because of size differences, and
handle more than 2 repositories automatically.

The git-cherry command helps the git-rebase script by finding

bad50dc80f First cut at git-unpack-objects
So far it just reads the header and generates the list of objects.

It also sorts them by the order they are written in the pack file,
since that ends up being the same order we got them originally, and
is thus "most recent first".

c323ac7d9c git-pack-objects: create a packed object representation.
This is kind of like a tar-ball for a set of objects, ready to be
shipped off to another end.  Alternatively, you could use is as a packed
representation of the object database directly, if you changed
"read_sha1_file()" to read these kinds of packs.

The latter is partiularly useful to generate a "packed history", ie you
could pack up your old history efficiently, but still have it available
(at a performance hit, of course).

I haven't actually written an unpacker yet, so the end result has not
been verified in any way yet.  I obviously always write bug-free code,
so it just has to work, no?

f97672225b Add "git-patch-id" program to generate patch ID's.
A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch,
with whitespace and line numbers ignored.  As such, it's "reasonably
stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, ie two patches
that have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same
thing.

IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
