With --parents, git-rev-list gives us the list of parents on the
first line of each commit. We use that rather than looking for
the parent: lines in the commit body, since this way we get to
know about the grafts for free.
Based on the discussion on the git list, here are some important changes
to the glossary. (There is no cache, but an index. Use "object name"
rather than "SHA1". Reorder. Clarify.)

When the graph gets too wide (as defined by the maxwidth variable,
which can be set in ~/.gitk), we can now terminate graph lines with
an arrow pointing downwards, and reintroduce them later with an
arrow pointing upwards when we need them. This makes the graph much
less cluttered on large repositories such as the linux kernel.
Unfortunately this has made it slower; it takes about 10 seconds
user time on the linux-2.6 repository on my machine now, compared
to 6 seconds before. I'll have to work on optimizing that. Also
on the todo list are making the arrow heads active (so if you click
on them you jump to the other end) and improving the placement of
the null entry.
It did not check to see if the working tree was clean and matched
the commit we were starting out as, resulting in the initial rebased
commit including whatever dirty state the working tree has had.

Added -m and -M flags for git-cvsimport to detect merge commits in cvs.
While this trusts the commit message, in repositories where merge commits
indicate 'merged from FOOBRANCH' the import works surprisingly well.
Even if some merges from CVS are bogus or incomplete, the resulting
branches are in better state to go forward (and merge) than without any
merge detection.

I track a CVS project which has a branch with a '/' in the branch name.
Since git wants the branch name to be a file name at the same time,
substitute that character to a '-' by default (override with "-s <subst>").

are completely different :-)

Yes, using the same format for the file and the environment variable

This fixes up usage of ".." (without an ending slash) and "." (with or
without the ending slash) in the git diff family.
It also fixes pathspec matching for the case of an empty pathspec, since a
"." in the top-level directory (or enough ".." under subdirectories) will
result in an empty pathspec. We used to not match it against anything, but
it should in fact match everything.

We always show the diff as an absolute path, but pathnames to diff are
taken relative to the current working directory (and if no pathnames are
given, the default ends up being all of the current working directory).
Note that "../xyz" also works, so you can do
cd linux/drivers/char
git diff ../block
and it will generate a diff of the linux/drivers/block changes.

Because there is no reason not to, and this makes things a bit
safer when running "git prune".
[jc: I do not necessarily agree with the reasoning of the
original author that it is a good way to keep "git prune" from
stomping on objects to have a symlink that points at .git/refs
of the repository A in the .git/refs of the repository B when
repository A borrows object database from repository B. For one
thing, the object database that everybody borrows objects from
may not even have its own .git/refs hierarchy. Come to think of
it, maybe we should disallow symlink inside .git/refs hierarchy;
we update the files there by creat/rename pair, so having
symlinks would not work anyway when you do anything that would
update them.]

Early versions of git-cvsimport defaulted to using preexisting keyword
expansion settings. This change preserves compatibility with existing cvs
imports and allows new repository migrations to kill keyword expansion.
After exploration of the different -k modes in the cvs protocol, we use -kk
which kills keyword expansion wherever possible. Against the protocol
spec, -ko and -kb will sometimes expand keywords.
Should improve our chances of detecting merges and reduce imported
repository size.

The git-cvsimport-script had a copule of small bugs that prevented me
from importing a big CVS repository.
The first was that it didn't handle removed files with a multi-digit

The second was that it was asking the CVS server for "F" messages,
although they were not handled.

actual flags.

* Allow spaces in filenames.

The recent change to give the multiple commit message source was not
carrying over the authorship information from -C/-c commits correctly.
The export of the environment variable happens only in the subprocess,
not the main process that eventually runs git-commit-tree.
The right fix might be to teach git-commit-script to grok the From:
and Date: lines at the beginning of the commit message just like
git-applymbox knows how, but this has to do until that enhancement
happens.

Makes git work with a pure POSIX shell (tested with bash --posix and ash).
Right now git causes ash to choke on the redundant shift on line two.
Reduces the number of system calls git makes just to do a usage
