The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find
anything. But it always tries to find them locally first, so for a
user with the necessary docbook stylesheets installed the build will
work just fine without xsltproc attempting to use the network; all
--nonet does is make it fail rather than falling back on that. That
doesn't seem particularly helpful.

When building up a tree for a commit, fast-import
dynamically allocates memory for the tree entries. When more
space is needed, the allocated memory is increased by a
constant amount. For very large trees, this means
re-allocating and memcpy()ing the memory O(n) times.
To compound this problem, releasing the previous tree
resource does not free the memory; it is kept in a pool
for future trees. This means that each of the O(n)
allocations will consume increasing amounts of memory,
giving O(n^2) memory consumption.

git-gui: Revert "git-gui: Display all authors of git-gui."
git-gui: Revert "Don't modify CREDITS-FILE if it hasn't changed."
git-gui: Allow committing empty merges
I got a little surprise one day when I tried to run 'git gui version'
outside of a Git repository to determine what version of git-gui was
installed on that system. Turns out we were doing the repository
check long before we got around to command line argument handling.
We now look to see if the only argument we have been given is
'version' or '--version', and if so, print out the version and
exit immediately; long before we consider looking at the Git
version or working directory. This way users can still get to
the git-gui version number even if Git's version cannot be read.

Johannes Sixt noticed that git-gui would not let the user commit
a merge created by `git merge -s ours` as the ours strategy does
not alter the tree (that is HEAD^1^{tree} = HEAD^{tree} after the
merge). The same issue arises from amending such a merge commit.
We now permit an empty commit (no changed files) if we are doing
a merge commit. Core Git does this with its command line based
git-commit tool, so it makes sense for the GUI to do the same.

Asciidoc appears to interpret a backslash at the end of a line as

The obvious fix (replacing "\" by "\\") doesn't work. The only

Asciidoc claims that should be equivalent to a literal paragraph, so I
don't understand why the difference--perhaps it's an asciidoc bug.

The script sort_glossary.pl turns each use of "term" into a link to the
definition of "term". To avoid mangling links like
gitlink:git-term[1]
it doesn't replace any occurence of "term" preceded by "link:git-".
This fails for gitlink:git-symbolic-ref[1] when substituting for "ref".
So instead just refuse to replace anything preceded by a "-".
That could result in missing some opportunities, but that's a less
annoying error.
Actually I find the automatic substitution a little distracting; some
day maybe we should just run it once and commit the result, so it can
be hand-tuned.

Johannes Sixt noticed during one of his own imports that fast-import
did not fail if a non-existant commit is referenced by SHA-1 value
as an argument to the 'merge' command. This allowed the user to
unknowingly create commits that would fail in fsck, as the commit
contents would not be completely reachable.
A side effect of this bug was that a frontend process could mark
any SHA-1 object (blob, tree, tag) as a parent of a merge commit.
This should also fail in fsck, as the commit is not a valid commit.
We now use the same rule as the 'from' command. If a commit is
referenced in the 'merge' command by hex formatted SHA-1 then the
SHA-1 must be a commit or a tag that can be peeled back to a commit,
the commit must already exist, and must be readable by the core Git
infrastructure code. This requirement means that the commit must
have existed prior to fast-import starting, or the commit must have
been flushed out by a prior 'checkpoint' command.

Johannes Sixt noticed that a 'reset' command applied to a branch that
is already active in the branch LRU cache can cause fast-import to
relink the same branch into the LRU cache twice. This will cause
the LRU cache to contain a cycle, making unload_one_branch run in an
infinite loop as it tries to select the oldest branch for eviction.
I have trivially fixed the problem by adding an active bit to
each branch object; this bit indicates if the branch is already
in the LRU and allows us to avoid trying to add it a second time.
Converting the pack_id field into a bitfield makes this change take
up no additional memory.
