a567fdcb01 format-patch: autonumber by default
format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when
sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on
the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.

In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.

Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch.  Users that want to
change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

7e425c4fbb describe: Make --tags and --all match lightweight tags more often
If the caller supplies --tags they want the lightweight, unannotated
tags to be searched for a match.  If a lightweight tag is closer
in the history, it should be matched, even if an annotated tag is
reachable further back in the commit chain.

The same applies with --all when matching any other type of ref.

7faee6b8de compat/cygwin.c - Use cygwin's stat if core.filemode == true
Cygwin's POSIX emulation allows use of core.filemode true, unlike native
Window's implementation of stat / lstat, and Cygwin/git users who have
configured core.filemode true in various repositories will be very
unpleasantly surprised to find that git is no longer honoring that option.
So, this patch forces use of Cygwin's stat functions if core.filemode is
set true, regardless of any other considerations.

f8cca019b9 rebase: Support preserving merges in non-interactive mode
As a result of implementation details, 'git rebase' could
previously only preserve merges in interactive mode. That
limitation was hard for users to understand and awkward to
explain.

This patch works around it by running the interactive rebase
helper git-rebase--interactive with GIT_EDITOR set to ':'
when the user passes "-p" but not "-i" to the rebase command.
The effect is that the interactive rebase helper is used but
the user never sees an editor.

The test-case included in this patch was originally written
by Stephen Habermann <stephen@exigencecorp.com>, but has
been extensively modified since its creation.

72c69ebc03 git commit: Reformat output somewhat
Previously, we used to print something along the lines of

	Created commit abc9056 on master: Snib the sprock

but that output was sometimes confusing, as many projects use
the "subsystem: message" style of commit subjects (just like
this commit message does). When such improvements are done on
topic-branches, it's not uncommon to name the topic-branch the
same as the subsystem, leading to output like this:

	Created commit abc9056 on i386: i386: Snib the sprock

which doesn't look very nice and can be highly confusing.
This patch alters the format so that the noise-word "commit"
is dropped except when it makes the output read better and
the commit subject is put inside parentheses. We also
emphasize the detached case so that users do not overlook it
in case the commit subject is long enough to extend to the
next line. The end result looks thusly:

	normal case
	Created abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386

	detached head
	Created DETACHED commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock)

While we're at it, we rename "initial commit" to "root-commit"
to align it with the argument to 'git log', producing this:

	initial commit
	Created root-commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386

Documentation/gittutorial-2.txt is updated accordingly so that
new users recognize what they're looking at.

adbc0b6b6e cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat
lstat/stat functions in Cygwin are very slow, because they try to emulate
some *nix things that Git does not actually need. This patch adds Win32
specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin.

This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases
it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary
for two reasons:

- Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is
  not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be
  used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it
  causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we
  always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths.

- Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using
  one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls
  back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links.

The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for
common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name
does not exist.

Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible,
it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one
situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository
together.  Therefore, the core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks configuration option is
provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.

45d9414fa5 diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header selection
Currently, the hunk headers produced by 'diff -p' are customizable by
setting the diff.*.funcname option in the config file. The 'funcname' option
takes a basic regular expression. This functionality was designed using the
GNU regex library which, by default, allows using backslashed versions of
some extended regular expression operators, even in Basic Regular Expression
mode. For example, the following characters, when backslashed, are
interpreted according to the extended regular expression rules: ?, +, and |.
As such, the builtin funcname patterns were created using some extended
regular expression operators.

Other platforms which adhere more strictly to the POSIX spec do not
interpret the backslashed extended RE operators in Basic Regular Expression
mode. This causes the pattern matching for the builtin funcname patterns to
fail on those platforms.

Introduce a new option 'xfuncname' which uses extended regular expressions,
and advertise it _instead_ of funcname. Since most users are on GNU
platforms, the majority of funcname patterns are created and tested there.
Advertising only xfuncname should help to avoid the creation of non-portable
patterns which work with GNU regex but not elsewhere.

Additionally, the extended regular expressions may be less ugly and
complicated compared to the basic RE since many common special operators do
not need to be backslashed.

For example, the GNU Basic RE:

    ^[ 	]*\\(\\(public\\|static\\).*\\)$

becomes the following Extended RE:

    ^[ 	]*((public|static).*)$

5521883490 checkout: do not lose staged removal
The logic to checkout a different commit implements the safety to never
lose user's local changes.  For example, switching from a commit to
another commit, when you have changed a path that is different between
them, need to merge your changes to the version from the switched-to
commit, which you may not necessarily be able to resolve easily.  By
default, "git checkout" refused to switch branches, to give you a chance
to stash your local changes (or use "-m" to merge, accepting the risks of
getting conflicts).

This safety, however, had one deliberate hole since early June 2005.  When
your local change was to remove a path (and optionally to stage that
removal), the command checked out the path from the switched-to commit
nevertheless.

This was to allow an initial checkout to happen smoothly (e.g. an initial
checkout is done by starting with an empty index and switching from the
commit at the HEAD to the same commit).  We can tighten the rule slightly
to allow this special case to pass, without losing sight of removal
explicitly done by the user, by noticing if the index is truly empty when
the operation begins.

For historical background, see:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/4641/focus=4646

This case is marked as *0* in the message, which both Linus and I said "it
feels somewhat wrong but otherwise we cannot start from an empty index".

6ecb1ee28a git-apply:--include=pathspec
This allows --include=pathspec, similar to --exclude=pathspec.

The rule when one or both of these are used is that the include/exclude
patterns are examined in the order they are given on the command line, and
the first match determines if a patch to each path is used or not.  Hence:

    $ git apply --include='specific.h' --exclude='*.h' <diff

would apply the patch to specific.h header file, but all other patches in
the input file to other header files are ignored.  A patch to a path that
does not match any include/exclude pattern is used by default if there is
no include pattern on the command line, and ignored if there is any
include pattern.

This originally came from Joe Perches, but both the design of the
semantics and the implementation have been redone complately.

7d66f21a1b for-each-ref: :short format for refname
Tries to shorten the refname to a non-ambiguous name.

Szeder Gábor noticed that the git bash completion takes a
tremendous amount of time to strip leading components from
heads and tags refs (i.e. refs/heads, refs/tags, ...). He
proposed a new atom called 'refbasename' which removes at
most two leading components from the ref name.

I myself, proposed a more dynamic solution, which strips off
common leading components with the matched pattern.

But the current bash solution and both proposals suffer from
one mayor problem: ambiguous refs.

A ref is ambiguous, if it resolves to more than one full refs.
I.e. given the refs refs/heads/xyzzy and refs/tags/xyzzy. The
(short) ref xyzzy can point to both refs.

( Note: Its irrelevant whether the referenced objects are the
  same or not. )

This proposal solves this by checking for ambiguity of the
shorten ref name.

The shortening is done with the same rules for resolving refs
but in the reverse order. The short name is checked if it
resolves to a different ref.

To continue the above example, the output would be like this:

heads/xyzzy
xyzzy

So, if you want just tags, xyzzy is not ambiguous, because it
will resolve to a tag. If you need the heads you get a also
a non-ambiguous short form of the ref.

To integrate this new format into the bash completion to get
only non-ambiguous refs is beyond the scope of this patch.

f22a432b15 Mention the fact that 'git annotate' is only for backward compatibility.
When somebody is reading git-blame.txt (or git-annotate.txt) for the first
time, the message we would like to send is:

 (1) Here is why you would want to use this command, what it can do
     (perhaps more than what you would have expected from "$scm blame"),
     and how you tell it to do what it does.

     This is obvious.

 (2) You might have heard of the command with the other name.  There is no
     difference between the two, except they differ in their default
     output formats.

     This is essential to answer: "git has both?  how are they different?"

 (3) We tend to encourage blame over annotate for new scripts and new
     people, but there is no reason to choose one over the other.

     This is not as important as (2), but would be useful to avoid
     repeated questions about "when will we start deprecating this?"

As long as we describe (2) on git-annotate page clearly enough, people who
read git-blame page first and get curious can refer to git-annotate page.
While at it, subtly hint (3) without being overly explicit.

This patch encloses the conflict markers in backticks, which renders them

and with the pleasant side-effect that it also fixes the AsciiDoc compile
problem.

70a3f89733 git-merge documentation: describe how conflict is presented
We took it granted that everybody knows how to read the RCS merge style
conflicts, and did not give illustrations in the documentation.  Now we
are introducing an alternative output style, it is time to document this.

The lack of illustration has been bugging me for a long time.

eac5a40151 checkout --conflict=<style>: recreate merge in a non-default style
This new option does essentially the same thing as -m option when checking
unmerged paths out of the index, but it uses the specified style instead
of configured merge.conflictstyle.

Setting "merge.conflictstyle" to "diff3" is usually less useful than using
the default "merge" style, because the latter allows a conflict that
results by both sides changing the same region in a very similar way to
get simplified substancially by reducing the common lines.  However, when
one side removed a group of lines (perhaps a function was moved to some
other file) while the other side modified it, the default "merge" style
does not give any clue as to why the hunk is left conflicting.  You would
need the original to understand what is going on.

The recommended use would be not to set merge.conflictstyle variable so
that you would usually use the default "merge" style conflict, and when
the result in a path in a particular merge is too hard to understand, use
"git checkout --conflict=diff3 $path" to check it out with the original to
review what is going on.

146ea068a0 git commit --author=$name: look $name up in existing commits
This allows "git commit --author=$name" to accept a name that is not in
the required "A U Thor <author@example.xz>" format, and use that to look
up an author name that matches from existing commits.

When using this feature, it is the user's responsibility to give a name
that uniquely matches the name s/he wants, as the logic returns the name
from the first matching commit.

a5a818ee48 diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared
With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/".  Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.

    "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
    "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
    "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).

Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

bbb896d8e1 gitattributes: -crlf is not binary
The description of crlf attribute incorrectly said that "-crlf" means
binary.  It is true that for binary files you would want "-crlf", but
that is not the same thing.

We also have supported attribute macros and via that mechanism a handy
"binary" to specify "-crlf -diff" at the same time.  It was not documented
anywhere as far as I can tell, even though the support was there from
the very beginning.

0cf8581e33 checkout -m: recreate merge when checking out of unmerged index
This teaches git-checkout to recreate a merge out of unmerged
index entries while resolving conflicts.

With this patch, checking out an unmerged path from the index
now have the following possibilities:

 * Without any option, an attempt to checkout an unmerged path
   will atomically fail (i.e. no other cleanly-merged paths are
   checked out either);

 * With "-f", other cleanly-merged paths are checked out, and
   unmerged paths are ignored;

 * With "--ours" or "--theirs, the contents from the specified
   stage is checked out;

 * With "-m" (we should add "--merge" as synonym), the 3-way merge
   is recreated from the staged object names and checked out.

db9410990e checkout -f: allow ignoring unmerged paths when checking out of the index
Earlier we made "git checkout $pathspec" to atomically refuse
the operation of $pathspec matched any path with unmerged
stages.  This patch allows:

    $ git checkout -f a b c

to ignore, instead of error out on, such unmerged paths.  The
fix to prevent checkout of an unmerged path from random stages
