0ebb1fa78e http-backend: use mod_alias instead of mod_rewrite
In the git-http-backend documentation, use mod_alias exlusively, instead
of using a combination of mod_alias and mod_rewrite.  This makes the

b9af4ab3cd http-backend: reword some documentation
Clarify some of the git-http-backend documentation, particularly:

* In the Description, state that smart/dumb HTTP fetch and smart HTTP
  push are supported, state that authenticated clients allow push, and
  remove the note that this is only suited for read-only updates.

* At the start of Examples, state explicitly what URL is mapping to what
  location on disk.

917adc0360 http-backend: add GIT_PROJECT_ROOT environment var
Add a new environment variable, GIT_PROJECT_ROOT, to override the
method of using PATH_TRANSLATED to find the git repository on disk.
This makes it much easier to configure the web server, especially when
the web server's DocumentRoot does not contain the git repositories,
which is the usual case.

556cfa3b6d Smart fetch and push over HTTP: server side
Requests for $GIT_URL/git-receive-pack and $GIT_URL/git-upload-pack
are forwarded to the corresponding backend process by directly
executing it and leaving stdin and stdout connected to the invoking
web server.  Prior to starting the backend process the HTTP response
headers are sent, thereby freeing the backend from needing to know
about the HTTP protocol.

Requests that are encoded with Content-Encoding: gzip are
automatically inflated before being streamed into the backend.
This is primarily useful for the git-upload-pack backend, which
receives highly repetitive text data from clients that easily
compresses to 50% of its original size.

2f4038ab33 Git-aware CGI to provide dumb HTTP transport
The git-http-backend CGI can be configured into any Apache server
using ScriptAlias, such as with the following configuration:

  LoadModule cgi_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so
  LoadModule alias_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_alias.so
  ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/

Repositories are accessed via the translated PATH_INFO.

The CGI is backwards compatible with the dumb client, allowing all
older HTTP clients to continue to download repositories which are
managed by the CGI.

c51f6ceed6 commit -c/-C/--amend: reset timestamp and authorship to committer with --reset-author
When we use -c, -C, or --amend, we are trying one of two things: using the
source as a template or modifying a commit with corrections.

When these options are used, the authorship and timestamp recorded in the
newly created commit are always taken from the original commit.  This is
inconvenient when we just want to borrow the commit log message or when
our change to the code is so significant that we should take over the
authorship (with the blame for bugs we introduce, of course).

The new --reset-author option is meant to solve this need by regenerating
the timestamp and setting the committer as the new author.

ae4efe1957 Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curl
The remote helper interface now supports the push capability,
which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more
specs to the remote repository.  For remote-curl we implement this
by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable.

Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook
so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be
reused between remote implementations.  When possible however the
helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1,
thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful.

>From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>:
 update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities

 o Pushing packed refs is now fixed.

 o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add
   a test for that.

 o The transport helper will notice if refs are already
   up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the
   unpacked-refs test.

 o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically.

 o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

292ce46b60 remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batch
Some network protocols (e.g. native git://) are able to fetch more
than one ref at a time and reduce the overall transfer cost by
combining the requests into a single exchange.  Instead of feeding
each fetch request one at a time to the helper, feed all of them
at once so the helper can decide whether or not it should batch them.

134748353b Teach 'git merge' and 'git pull' the option --ff-only
For convenience in scripts and aliases, add the option
--ff-only to only allow fast-forwards (and up-to-date,
despite the name).

Disallow combining --ff-only and --no-ff, since they
flatly contradict each other.

Allow all other options to be combined with --ff-only
(i.e. do not add any code to handle them specially),
including the following options:

* --strategy (one or more): As long as the chosen merge
  strategy results in up-to-date or fast-forward, the
  command will succeed.

* --squash: I cannot imagine why anyone would want to
  squash commits only if fast-forward is possible, but I
  also see no reason why it should not be allowed.

* --message: The message will always be ignored, but I see
  no need to explicitly disallow providing a redundant message.

Acknowledgements: I did look at Yuval Kogman's earlier
patch (107768 in gmane), mainly as shortcut to find my
way in the code, but I did not copy anything directly.

500348aa68 ls-files: unbreak "ls-files -i"
Commit b5227d8 changed the behavior of "ls-files" with
respect to includes, but accidentally broke the "-i" option
The original behavior was:

  1. if no "-i" is given, cull all results according to --exclude*
  2. if "-i" is given, show the inverse of (1)

The broken behavior was:

  1. if no "-i" is given:
     a. for "-o", cull results according to --exclude*
     b. for index files, always show all
  2. if "-i" is given:
     a. for "-o", shows the inverse of (1a)
     b. for index files, always show all

The fixed behavior keeps the new (1b) behavior introduced
by b5227d8, but fixes the (2b) behavior to show only ignored
files, not all files.

This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text
was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now
inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not
quite a "reverse").

9f67d2e827 Teach "git describe" --dirty option
With the --dirty option, git describe works on HEAD but append s"-dirty"
iff the contents of the work tree differs from HEAD.  E.g.

  $ git describe --dirty
  v1.6.5-15-gc274db7
  $ echo >> Makefile
  $ git describe --dirty
  v1.6.5-15-gc274db7-dirty

The --dirty option can also be used to specify what is appended, instead
of the default string "-dirty".

  $ git describe --dirty=.mod
  v1.6.5-15-gc274db7.mod

Many build scripts use `git describe` to produce a version number based on
the description of HEAD (on which the work tree is based) + saying that if
the build contains uncommitted changes.  This patch helps the writing of
such scripts since `git describe --dirty` does directly the intended thing.

Three possiblities were considered while discussing this new feature:

1. Describe the work tree by default and describe HEAD only if "HEAD" is
   explicitly specified

     Pro: does the right thing by default (both for users and for scripts)
     Pro: other git commands that works on the work tree by default
     Con: breaks existing scripts used by the Linux kernel and other projects

2. Use --worktree instead of --dirty

     Pro: does what it says: "git describe --worktree" describes the work tree
     Con: other commands do not require a --worktree option when working
          on the work tree (it often is the default mode for them)
     Con: unusable with an optional value: "git describe --worktree=.mod"
	  is quite unintuitive.

3. Use --dirty as in this patch

     Pro: makes sense to specify an optional value (what the dirty mark is)
     Pro: does not have any of the big cons of previous alternatives
	  * does not break scripts
	  * is not inconsistent with other git commands

This patch takes the third approach.

204d363f5a Quote ' as \(aq in manpages
The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'.  This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.

Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.

Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.

Thanks also to Miklos Vajna for documentation.

f29cd3938d fsck: default to "git fsck --full"
Linus and other git developers from the early days trained their fingers
to type the command, every once in a while even without thinking, to check
the consistency of the repository back when the lower core part of the git
was still being developed.  Developers who wanted to make sure that git
correctly dealt with packfiles could deliberately trigger their creation
and checked them after they were created carefully, but loose objects are
the ones that are written by various commands from random codepaths.  It
made some technical sense to have a mode that checked only loose objects
from the debugging point of view for that reason.

Even for git developers, there no longer is any reason to type "git fsck"
every five minutes these days, worried that some newly created objects
might be corrupt due to recent change to git.

The reason we did not make "--full" the default is probably we trust our
filesystems a bit too much.  At least, we trusted filesystems more than we
trusted the lower core part of git that was under development.

Once a packfile is created and we always use it read-only, there didn't
seem to be much point in suspecting that the underlying filesystems or
disks may corrupt them in such a way that is not caught by the SHA-1
checksum over the entire packfile and per object checksum.  That trust in
the filesystems might have been a good tradeoff between fsck performance
and reliability on platforms git was initially developed on and for, but
it may not be true anymore as we run on many more platforms these days.

8f8f5476cd Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD] for reflog information
Add three new --pretty=format escapes:

  %gD  long  reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0})
  %gd  short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0})
  %gs  reflog message

This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the
pretty_print_context struct.

We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some
extra functionality to extract a shortened ref.  The shortening is
cached inside the commit_reflogs struct; the only allocation of it
happens in read_complete_reflog(), where it is initialised to 0.  Also
add another helper get_reflog_message() for the message extraction.

Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real
repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the
": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the
old part) reflog.  This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of
this patch.

Thanks to Jeff King for reviews, the %gd testcase and documentation.

a8dd2e7d2b fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes
Introduce a 'notemodify' subcommand of the 'commit' command. This subcommand
is similar to 'filemodify', except that no mode is supplied (all notes have
mode 0644), and the path is set to the hex SHA1 of the given "comittish".

This enables fast import of note objects along with their associated commits,
since the notes can now be named using the mark references of their
corresponding commits.

The patch also includes a test case of the added functionality.

d9246d4303 Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"
The "-m" and "-F" options are already the established method
(in both git-commit and git-tag) to specify a commit/tag message
without invoking the editor. This patch teaches "git notes edit"
to respect the same options for specifying a notes message without
invoking the editor.

Multiple "-m" and/or "-F" options are concatenated as separate
paragraphs.

The patch also updates the "git notes" documentation and adds
selftests for the new functionality. Unfortunately, the added
selftests include a couple of lines with trailing whitespace
(without these the test will fail). This may cause git to warn
about "whitespace errors".

a97a74686d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS
- Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return

6b87ce231d bisect reset: Allow resetting to any commit, not just a branch
‘git bisect reset’ accepts an optional argument specifying a branch to
check out after cleaning up the bisection state.  This lets you
specify an arbitrary commit.

In particular, this provides a way to clean the bisection state
without moving HEAD: ‘git bisect reset HEAD’.  This may be useful if
you are not interested in the state before you began a bisect,
especially if checking out the old commit would be expensive and
invalidate most of your compiled tree.

Clarify the ‘git bisect reset’ documentation to explain this optional
argument, which was previously mentioned only in the usage message.

b0fa7ab51b git: add --no-replace-objects option to disable replacing
Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.

So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.

For example:

$ git cat-file -p N

would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.

With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:

$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N

While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the
"git replace" man page too.

to each ref a canonical name.

If a user asks a porcelain to create a ref "refs/heads//master",
the porcelain can run "git check-ref-format --print refs/heads//master"
and only deal with "refs/heads/master" from then on.

33405be34b Documentation: clone: clarify discussion of initial branch
When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active
remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads
point to the same commit.  Maybe it would be more useful to a
new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the
same.

More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so
that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote
branch.  The next paragraph addresses that directly.  What the
reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch
is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that
(2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the
upstream.

9fa708dab1 Pretty-format: %[+-]x to tweak inter-item newlines
This teaches the "pretty" machinery to expand '%+x' to a LF followed by
the expansion of '%x' if and only if '%x' expands to a non-empty string,
and to remove LFs before '%-x' if '%x' expands to an empty string.  This
works for any supported expansion placeholder 'x'.

This is expected to be immediately useful to reproduce the commit log
message with "%s%+b%n"; "%s%n%b%n" adds one extra LF if the log message is

0f4b377c20 git-archive: infer output format from filename when unspecified
A command line

    $ git archive -o my-v2.0.zip v2.0

almost certainly wants the output in zip format, even though it does not
specify any --format option.

When --format is not given, but output filename is, try to infer what
format is requested from the filename extension.  Currently this code only
knows about '.zip'.  When the format is unspecified and the filename does
not tell us, the output will be in 'tar' format as before.

Of course, an explicit --format will not trigger this guesswork.

75194438f4 push: make non-fast-forward help message configurable
This message is designed to help new users understand what
has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not
help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters
the output, frequently dwarfing the regular status table and
making it harder to see.

This patch introduces a general configuration mechanism for
optional messages, with this push message as the first
example.

1c2eafb89b Add url.<base>.pushInsteadOf: URL rewriting for push only
This configuration option allows systematically rewriting fetch-only URLs
to push-capable URLs when used with push.  For instance:

[url "ssh://example.org/"]
    pushInsteadOf = "git://example.org/"

This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently
push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.

Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and
test cases (both that pushInsteadOf applies to push, that it does not
apply to fetch, and that it is ignored when pushURL is already defined).

aeb84b05ae core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}
People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.

This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof.  This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

77b15bbd88 apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.

The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes.  The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors.  It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.

Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix.  Or you could call it a new feature.  The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.

Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have.  People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

3c2eb80fe3 stash: simplify defaulting to "save" and reject unknown options
With the earlier DWIM patches, certain combination of options defaulted
to the "save" command correctly while certain equally valid combination
did not.  For example, "git stash -k" were Ok but "git stash -q -k" did
not work.

This makes the logic of defaulting to "save" much simpler. If there are no
non-flag arguments, it is clear that there is no command word, and we
default to "save" subcommand.  This rule prevents "git stash -q apply"
from quietly creating a stash with "apply" as the message.

This also teaches "git stash save" to reject an unknown option.  This is
to keep a mistyped "git stash save --quite" from creating a stash with a
message "--quite", and this safety is more important with the new logic
to default to "save" with any option-looking argument without an explicit
comand word.

[jc: this is based on Matthieu's 3-patch series, and a follow-up
discussion, and he and Peff take all the credit; if I have introduced bugs
while reworking, they are mine.]

11cae066b2 upload-pack: feed "kind [clone|fetch]" to post-upload-pack hook
A request to clone the repository does not give any "have" but asks for
all the refs we offer with "want".  When a request does not ask to clone
the repository fully, but asks to fetch some refs into an empty
repository, it will not give any "have" but its "want" won't ask for all
the refs we offer.

If we suppose (and I would say this is a rather big if) that it makes
sense to distinguish these two cases, a hook cannot reliably do this
alone.  The hook can detect lack of "have" and bunch of "want", but there
is no direct way to tell if the other end asked for all refs we offered,
or merely most of them.

Between the time we talked with the other end and the time the hook got
called, we may have acquired more refs or lost some refs in the repository
by concurrent operations.  Given that we plan to introduce selective
advertisement of refs with a protocol extension, it would become even more
difficult for hooks to guess between these two cases.

This adds "kind [clone|fetch]" to hook's input, as a stable interface to
allow the hooks to tell these cases apart.

    want SHA-1::
        40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to include in the
        resulting pack.  Can occur one or more times in the input.

    have SHA-1::
        40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to exclude from
        the resulting pack, claiming to have them already.  Can occur zero
        or more times in the input.

    time float::
        Number of seconds spent for creating the packfile.

Nobody objected, as far as I can dig the list archive.  But when nothing
happened in 1.6.3 nor 1.6.4, nobody from the camp who complained loudly
that led to the message did not complain either.

So I am guessing that after all nobody cares about this.  But 1.7.0 is a
good time to change this, and as I said in the message, I personally think
it is a good change, so here it is.

e7fed18a89 git clone: Add --recursive to automatically checkout (nested) submodules
Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out
in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for
developers on such projects is:

	git clone url/to/project
	cd project
	git submodule update --init (--recursive)

This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new
option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all
submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence
can be reduced to:

	git clone --recursive url/to/project

--recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone.

The patch also includes documentation and a selftest.

In very large and hierarchically structured projects, one may encounter

33e7018c45 git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.

This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

13354f5377 docs: describe impact of repack on "clone -s"
The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:

  1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
     be shared.

  2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
     repo.

This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.

For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".

For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

dda1f2a5c3 Implement 'git stash save --patch'
This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash.  You can select hunks from
the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a
stash that reflects these changes.  The index state of the stash is
the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.

Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing
if you had also staged these changes.  This is not entirely
satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions
would require a change to the stash format.

4f353658b9 Implement 'git checkout --patch'
This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout.  In the index usage

  git checkout --patch -- [files...]

it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).

We also accept a revision argument.  In the case

  git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]

we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely.  In the non-HEAD usage

  git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]

it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>.  The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.

The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree).  If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

offers hunks for *un*staging.  Advanced usage is

  git reset --patch <revision> -- [files...]

which offers hunks from the diff between the index and <revision> for
forward application to the index.  (That is, the basic case is just
<revision> = HEAD.)

5749b0b2f9 don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository.  However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt.  So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.
