It is nicer to let the user know when a commit succeeded all the time,
not only the first time. Also the commit sha1 is much more useful than
the tree sha1 in this case.
This patch also introduces a -q switch to supress this message as well

This reverts commit 4c81c213a4.
Although --cached and --index are confusing wording, the use of
word --cached for git-diff is consistent with git-apply. It means
"work with index without looking at the working tree".
We should probably come up with better wording for --cached, if
somebody wants to deprecate it. But making --index and --cached
synonyms for diff while leaving them mean different things for
apply is no good.
While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches. The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.
This patch does the same thing for
- git-log (color.diff)
- git-status (color.status)
- git-diff (color.diff)
- pager (color.pager)
I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions. I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.
Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I
don't like to change unilaterally.

without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the
technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page.
Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that

just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing
git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course).

Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of

The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line
switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote
branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local
branches or remote branches".
As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in
print_ref_list() where it used.
Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the
list creation was never freed.

say for example:
git merge js/shortlog~2
to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest

One new thing is that the (abscence of) --thin also enforce it on

_not_ asked for.
The -k or --keep, when provided twice, now causes the fetched pack

Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects
should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack
to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
--fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the
number of objects contained in the received pack.
If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is
below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default)
then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.
If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and
ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it
easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository.
Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack. We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small. Instead we
want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have
been updated. That is being left as room for future improvement.

To prevent a race condition between `index-pack --stdin` and
`repack -a -d` where the repack deletes the newly created pack
file before any refs are updated to reference objects contained
within it we mark the pack file as one that should be kept. This
removes it from the list of packs that `repack -a -d` will consider
for removal.
Callers such as `receive-pack` which want to invoke `index-pack`
should use this new --keep option to prevent the newly created pack
and index file pair from being deleted before they have finished any
related ref updates. Only after all ref updates have been finished
should the associated .keep file be removed.

"new file" and "deleted file" were already reported in the
original code, but the logic was not as transparent as it could
have. This uses a few variables and more comments to clarify
the flow. The rule is: (1) if a path exists in the merge result
when no parent had it, we report "new" (otherwise it came from
the parents, as opposed to have added by the evil merge). (2) if
the path does not exist in the merge result, it is "deleted".
Since we can say "new" and "deleted", there is no reason not to
follow the /dev/null convention. This fixes it.
Appending function name after @@@ ... @@@ is trivial, so
implement it.

This completes the initial round of git-pickaxe. In addition to
the detection of line movements we already have, this finds new
lines that were created by moving or cutting-and-pasting lines
from different files in the parent.
With this,
git pickaxe -f -n -C v1.4.0 -- revision.c
finds that a major part of that file actually came from
rev-list.c when Linus split the latter at commit ae563642 and
blames them to earlier commits that touch rev-list.c.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This makes pickaxe more intelligent than the classic blame.
A typical example is a change that moves one static C function
from lower part of the file to upper part of the same file,
because you added a new caller in the middle.
The versions in the parent and the child would look like this:
parent child
A static foo() {
B ...
C }
D A
E B
F C
G D
static foo() { ... call foo();
... E
} F
H G
H
With the classic blame algorithm, we can blame lines A B C D E F
G and H to the parent. The child is guilty of introducing the
line "... call foo();", and the blame is placed on the child.
However, the classic blame algorithm fails to notice that the
implementation of foo() at the top of the file is not new, and
moved from the lower part of the parent.
This commit introduces detection of such line movements, and
correctly blames the lines that were simply moved in the file to
the parent.

This command implements the git archive protocol on the server
side. This command is not intended to be used by the end user.
Underlying git-archive command line options are sent over the
protocol from "git-archive --remote=...", just like upload-tar
currently does with "git-tar-tree=...".
As for "git-archive" command implementation, this new command
does not execute any existing "git-{tar,zip}-tree" but rely
on the archive API defined by "git-archive" patch. Hence we
get 2 good points:
- "git-archive" and "git-upload-archive" share all option
parsing code.

git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.
Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.
- The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
different archive backends to have different kind of options.
- The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
the archive given some already resolved parameters.
The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?
It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.
The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:
$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD
We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).

The command unpack-objects dies upon the first error. This is
probably considered a feature -- if a pack is corrupt, instead
of trying to extract from it and possibly risking to contaminate
a good repository with objects whose validity is dubious, we
should seek a good copy of the pack and retry. However, we may
not have any good copy anywhere. This implements the last
resort effort to extract what are salvageable from such a
corrupt pack.
This flag might have helped Sergio when recovering from a
corrupt pack. In my test, it managed to salvage 247 objects out
of a pack that had 251 objects but without it the command
stopped after extracting 73 objects.

After a failed "git am" attempt:
git apply --reject --verbose .dotest/patch
applies hunks that are applicable and leaves *.rej files the
rejected hunks, and it reports what it is doing. With --index,
files with a rejected hunk do not get their index entries
updated at all, so "git diff" will show the hunks that
successfully got applied.
Without --verbose to remind the user that the patch updated some
other paths cleanly, it is very easy to lose track of the status
of the working tree, so --reject implies --verbose.

In the Windows world ZIP files are better supported than tar files.
Windows even includes built-in support for ZIP files nowadays.
git-zip-tree is similar to git-tar-tree; it creates ZIP files out of
git trees. It stores the commit ID (if available) in a ZIP file comment
which can be extracted by unzip.
There's still quite some room for improvement: this initial version
supports no symlinks, calls write() way too often (three times per file)
and there is no unit test.

The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.
A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.
Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.

Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch,
recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is
reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of
the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the
cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked
off again from that point at the mainline.
The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does
not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by
using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a
strict superset of the mainline, like this:
git checkout mainline
git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any
rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast
forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never
create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing
special --no-commit could do to begin with.
This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a
workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge
case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases:
git checkout mainline
git pull --squash . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be
: no conflict if fast forward.
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to
the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new
option does not have any effect.

git-branch's documentation as the syntax of a ref name must conform
to what is described in git-check-ref-format.

Switch git checkout -b to use git-update-ref rather than echo and
a shell I/O redirection. This is more in line with typical GIT
commands and allows -b to be logged according to the normal ref
logging rules.
Added -l option to allow users to create the ref log at the same
time as creating a branch.

When crating a new branch offer '-l' as a way for the user to
quickly enable ref logging for the new branch.
When deleting a branch also delete its ref log.

The actual position doesn't matter but most people prefer to see
options appear before the arguments.

Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is
meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm.
Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now
appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name
in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

Since large quilt trees like -mm can easily have patches
without clear authorship information, add a --dry-run
option to make the problem patches easy to find.

Importing a quilt patch series into git is not very difficult
but parsing the patch descriptions and all of the other
minutia take a bit of effort to get right, so this automates it.
Since git and quilt complement each other it makes sense
to make it easy to go back and forth between the two.
If a patch is encountered that it cannot derive the author
from the user is asked.

Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications
which indicate a point in time within the local repository's
history. If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in
$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated
by the specification is obtained from the ref's log.

If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains
the following information:
oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>
where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.
An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.
