3cae7e5b2b send-email: ask about and declare 8bit mails
git-send-email passes on an 8bit mail as-is even if it does not
declare a content-type.  Because the user can edit email between
format-patch and send-email, such invalid mails are unfortunately not
very hard to come by.

Make git-send-email stop and ask about the encoding to use if it
encounters any such mail.  Also provide a configuration setting to
permanently configure an encoding.

7b88176e9b pretty: Introduce ' ' modifier to add space if non-empty
We have the '+' modifiier which helps combine format specifiers which
may possibly be empty, e.g. '%s%+b%n'.

Introduce an analogous ' ' (space) modifier which adds a space before
non-empty items. This helps assemble "one line type" format specifiers.

6622d9c710 format-patch: Add a signature option (--signature)
By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.

This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.

74e42ce122 add-interactive: Clarify “remaining hunks in the file”
The "a" and "d" commands to ‘add --patch’ (accept/reject rest of file)
interact with "j", "g", and "/" (skip some hunks) in a perhaps
confusing way: after accepting or rejecting all _later_ hunks in the
file, they return to the earlier, skipped hunks and prompt the user
about them again.

This behavior can be very useful in practice.  One can still accept or
reject _all_ undecided hunks in a file by using the "g" command to
move to hunk #1 first.

678e484b7d grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'
This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the
pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern,
it also jumps to the first match right away.

The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's
options (as suggested by Junio).

So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)'
except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not
start the pager if there was no matching file.

squashed in]

f69c501832 rev-list: introduce --count option
Add a --count option that, instead of actually listing the commits,
merely counts them.

This is mostly geared towards script use, and to this end it acts
specially when used with --left-right: it outputs the left and right
counts separately.  Previously, scripts would have to run a shell loop
or small inline script over to achieve the same.  (Without
--left-right, a simple |wc -l does the job.)

dd44d419d3 Add optional parameters to the diff option "--ignore-submodules"
In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.

Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts
which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes
to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change
might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it
takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

cddb42d2c5 rebase -i -p: document shortcomings
The rebase --preserve-merges facility presents a list of commits
in its instruction sheet and uses a separate table to keep
track of their parents.  Unfortunately, in practice this means
that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some
commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is
rarely what the caller expected.

Yes, it would be nice to fix that.  But first, add a warning to the
manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

942e774767 Add "core.eol" config variable
Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user
to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the
working directory.  It defaults to "native", which means CRLF on Windows
and LF everywhere else.

Note that "core.autocrlf" overrides core.eol.  This means that

[core]
	autocrlf = true

puts CRLFs in the working directory even if core.eol is set to "lf".

f70d0586d6 Documentation/rev-list-options.txt: Fix missing line in example history graph
In the detailed explanation of how the revision machinery does history
simplification, the current text presents an example history and explains
how various options of the revision machinery affect the resulting list
of commits. The first simplification mode mentioned is the default mode,
in which a number of commits is omitted from the example graph according
to the history simplification rules. The text states (among other things)
that commit "C was considered via N, but is TREESAME", and therefore
omitted. However, the accompanying graph does not list the effect on the
implicit parentage, i.e. that commit I takes C's place as a parent of N.

Running 'git rev-list --parents P' does indeed list I as a second parent
of N, and the accompanying graph should therefore also show this line.

78646987e4 git-instaweb: Add support for running gitweb via 'plackup'
PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and
Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers
and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org

PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and
probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI).

Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI
standalone web server implementation.  'plackup' is a command line
launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web
app to a web server via Plack::Runner module.  By default it uses
HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server.

git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb).  This
wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI
script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI
standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner.

The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated
gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf).

To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled
Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile.  Those modules have to be
available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting
PERL5LIB environment variable).  This is currently not documented.

f030c96d86 git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
Add a $toplevel variable accessible to `git submodule foreach`, it
contains the absolute path of the top level directory (where
.gitmodules is).

This makes it possible to e.g. read data in .gitmodules from within
foreach commands. I'm using this to configure the branch names I want
to track for each submodule:

    git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

For a little history: This patch is borne out of my continuing fight
of trying to have Git track the branches of submodules, not just their
commits.

Obviously that's not how they work (they only track commits), but I'm
just interested in being able to do:

    git submodule foreach 'git pull'

Of course that won't work because the submodule is in a disconnected
head, so I first have to connect it, but connect it *to what*.

For a while I was happy with this because as fate had it, it just so
happened to do what I meant:

    git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git describe --all --always) && git pull'

But then that broke down, if there's a tag and a branch the tag will
win out, and I can't git pull a branch:

    $ git branch -a
    * master
      remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
      remotes/origin/master
    $ git tag -l
    release-0.0.6
    $ git describe --always --all
    release-0.0.6

So I figured that I might as well start tracking the branches I want
in .gitmodules itself:

    [submodule "yaml-mode"]
        path = yaml-mode
        url = git://github.com/yoshiki/yaml-mode.git
        branch = master

So now I can just do (as stated above):

    git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

Maybe there's a less painful way to do *that* (I'd love to hear about
it). But regardless of that I think it's a good idea to be able to
know what the top-level is from git submodule foreach.

Change the semantics of the "crlf" attribute so that it enables

Add a new setting for "crlf": "auto", which enables end-of-line
conversion but does not override the automatic text file detection.

Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf".  When
set, this attribute enables normalization and forces git to use CRLF or
LF line endings in the working directory, respectively.

The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the
working directory is set using "core.autocrlf".  When it is set to
"true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or
"false", LFs are used.

66c4c32d29 Documentation/notes: simplify treatment of default display refs
The main description of display refs for notes should be in
git-log.1, where there is a chance to give a leisurely description
of all the ways they can be set, what they are used for, and so
on.  The description in git-notes.1 is only meant to be a quick
reminder of how notes are used.

So simplify it.

Also add an entry for GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF to the environment
section.

8d6888ec6a Documentation/notes: describe content of notes blobs
stripspace/text-based formatting kicks in when specifying the notes
content with -m or -F, or when an editor is used to edit the notes.
To binary-safely create notes from files, the following construct is
required:

    git notes add -C $(git hash-object -w <file>) <object>

Explain this trick (thanks, Johan!) in the manual.  Add an ordinary
example, too, to keep this esoteric one company.

When passed no revision arguments, ‘git shortlog’ reads a log from
stdin if and only if stdin is not a tty.  So scripts that need to
function identically when standard input is a terminal (as when run
interactively) and not (as when run through a cron job) should either
supply a log themselves or specify the desired revisions explicitly.

8028184eec pretty: add aliases for pretty formats
previously the only ways to alias a --pretty format within git were
either to set the format as your default format (via the format.pretty
configuration variable), or by using a regular git alias. This left the
definition of more complicated formats to the realm of "builtin or
nothing", with user-defined formats usually being reserved for quick
one-offs.

Here we allow user-defined formats to enjoy more or less the same
benefits of builtins. By defining pretty.myalias, "myalias" can be
used in place of whatever would normally come after --pretty=. This
can be a format:, tformat:, raw (ie, defaulting to tformat), or the name
of another builtin or user-defined pretty format.
