In "common" man pages there is luckily no "NAME" anywhere except at
beginning of documents. If there is another "NAME", sed could
mis-select it and lead to common-cmds.h corruption. So better nail it
at beginning of line, which would reduce corruption chance.

An earlier commit 916d081 (Nicer error messages in case saving an object
to db goes wrong, 2006-11-09) confused EACCES with EPERM, the latter of
which is an unlikely error from mkstemp().
Signed-off-by: Sam Vilain <sam@vilain.net>
This avoids the following misleading error message:
error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/15: File exists
mkstemp can fail for many reasons, one of which, ENOENT, can occur if
the directory for the temp file doesn't exist. create_tmpfile tried to
handle this case by always trying to mkdir the directory, even if it
already existed. This caused errno to be clobbered, so one cannot tell
why mkstemp really failed, and it truncated the buffer to just the
directory name, resulting in the strange error message shown above.
Note that in both occasions that I've seen this failure, it has not been
due to a missing directory, or bad permissions, but some other, unknown
mkstemp failure mode that did not occur when I ran git again. This code
could perhaps be made more robust by retrying mkstemp, in case it was a
transient failure.

I think it's unnecessary to warn that the checkout has been forced due to an
unborn current branch if -f has been explicitly passed. For one project, I am
using git-new-workdir to create workdirs from a bare repository whose HEAD is
set to an unborn branch, and this warning started to irritate me.

The completion script for 'git revert' currently offers options and

command line, but a single commit. Therefore, it's more sane to offer

The original intention of 72909be (Add diff-option --ext-diff, 2007-06-30)
was to optionally allow the use of external diff viewer in "git log"
family (while keeping them disabled by default). It exposed the "allow
external diff" bit to the UI, but forgot to adjust the "git diff" codepath
that was set up to always allow use of the external diff viewer.

The list extra_refs contains tags and the objects referenced by them,
so that they can be handled at the end. When a tag references a
commit, that commit is added to the list using the same name.
Also, the function handle_tags_and_duplicates() relies on the order
the items were added to extra_refs, so clearly we do not want to
use a sorted list here.

Originally --with-tree=<tree> was designed for the sole purpose of
checking if a given pathspec makes sense as a parameter to git-commit
using it in conjunction with --error-unmatch. It had logic to avoid
showing the same entry (one came from the original index, another from the
overlayed tree) twice so that it works with -c (i.e. "show-cached"), but
otherwise it was not designed to work with the flags such as -m, -d, etc.
This teaches the same logic to cover the codepath for -m and -d.

The date/time parsing code was confused if the input time HH:MM:SS is
followed by fractional seconds. Since we do not record anything finer
grained than seconds, we could just drop fractional part, but there is a
twist.
We have taught people that not just spaces but dot can be used as word
separators when spelling things like:
$ git log --since 2.days
$ git show @{12:34:56.7.days.ago}
and we shouldn't mistake "7" in the latter example as a fraction and
discard it.
The rules are:
- valid days of month/mday are always single or double digits.
- valid years are either two or four digits
No, we don't support the year 600 _anyway_, since our encoding is based
on the UNIX epoch, and the day we worry about the year 10,000 is far
away and we can raise the limit to five digits when we get closer.
- Other numbers (eg "600 days ago") can have any number of digits, but
they cannot start with a zero. Again, the only exception is for
two-digit numbers, since that is fairly common for dates ("Dec 01" is
not unheard of)
So that means that any milli- or micro-second would be thrown out just
because the number of digits shows that it cannot be an interesting date.
A milli- or micro-second can obviously be a perfectly fine number
according to the rules above, as long as it doesn't start with a '0'. So
if we have
12:34:56.123
then that '123' gets parsed as a number, and we remember it. But because
it's bigger than 31, we'll never use it as such _unless_ there is
something after it to trigger that use.
So you can say "12:34:56.123.days.ago", and because of the "days", that
123 will actually be meaninful now.

Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07)
tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local
changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while
attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching
out of an un-checked-out state.
However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow
switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out
another branch.
The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this,
by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same.
It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated
macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an
un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE
did not exist when populating the in-core index structure. A few places
the earlier commit 5521883 added the check for the initial checkout
condition are updated to use this function.

Current git versions ignore everything after # (called <head> in the

interpret #<head> as part of the URL, which make git bail out.
As branches origin from Cogito, it is the best to correct this by using
the behaviour of cg-push, that is to push HEAD to remote refs/heads/<head>.
