The --access-hook option to "git daemon" specifies an external
command to be run every time a client connects, with
- service name (e.g. "upload-pack", etc.),
- path to the repository,
- hostname (%H),
- canonical hostname (%CH),
- ip address (%IP),
- tcp port (%P)
as its command line arguments. The external command can decide to
decline the service by exiting with a non-zero status (or to allow it
by exiting with a zero status). It can also look at the $REMOTE_ADDR
and $REMOTE_PORT environment variables to learn about the requestor
when making this decision.
The external command can optionally write a single line to its
standard output to be sent to the requestor as an error message when
it declines the service.

by doing "ls Documentation/git*txt" and culling a bunch of
special cases from the result. Looking for "git-*.txt" would
be more accurate, but would miss a few commands like
"gitweb" and "gitk".
Fortunately, Documentation/Makefile already knows what this

extra cruft like "GIT-VERSION-FILE is up to date" to stdout.

When asciidoc converts a listing block like:
----------------------
$ git log --merge
----------------------
it marks it to be displayed in a monospace font. This works
fine when generating HTML output. However, when generating
docbook output, we override the expansion of a listingblock
to work around bugs in some versions of the docbook
toolchain. Our override did not mark the listingblock with
the "monospaced" class.
The main output that uses docbook as an intermediate format
is the manpages. We didn't notice any issue there because
the monospaced class seems to be ignored when generating
roff from the docbook manpages.
However, when generating texinfo to make info pages, docbook
does respect this class. The resulting texinfo output
properly uses "@example" blocks to display the listing in
this case. Besides possibly looking prettier in some texinfo
backends, one important effect is that the monospace font
suppresses texinfo's expansion of "--" and "---" into
en-dashes and em-dashes. With the current code, the example
above ends up looking like "git log -merge", which is
confusing and wrong.

Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

2. and add configuration variable to point at it.
Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.
And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config). The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store

When given a set of commits, cherry-pick will apply the changes for
all of them. Specifying a simple range will also work as expected.
This can lead the user to think that
git cherry-pick A B..C
may apply A and then B..C, but that is not what happens.
Instead the revs are given to a single invocation of rev-list, which
will consider A and C as positive revs and B as a negative one. The
commit A will not be used if it is an ancestor of B.
Add a note about this and add an example with this particular
syntax, which has shown up on the list a few times.

This patch provides new informative help messages in the display of
'git status' (at the top) during conflicts, rebase, am, bisect or
cherry-pick process.
The new messages are not shown when using options such as -s or
--porcelain. The messages about the current situation of the user are
always displayed but the advices on what the user needs to do in order
to resume a rebase/bisect/am/commit after resolving conflicts can be
hidden by setting advice.statushints to 'false' in the config file.
Thus, information about the updated advice.statushints key are added
in Documentation/config.txt.
Also, the test t7060-wt-status.sh is now working with the new help
messages. Tests about suggestions of "git rm" are also added.

During an interactive rebase session, it is sometimes desirable to
run tests on each commit in the resulting history. This can be done
by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the
command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits.
By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add
these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history. To work
well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of
each run of "fixup" and "squash".

Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.
We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.
We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:
1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
the linked manpage
2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,

This comment warns about a bug in asciidoc 6, and points to

When we made the switch to supporting asciidoc 8 in 4c7100a
(Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8, 2007-06-14), we were
able to leave most of the documentation intact by defining
asciidoc7compatible.
Since commit 6cf378f (docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal,
2012-04-26), we don't support versions of asciidoc older
than 8.4.1, which is when inline literals were introduced.
Therefore there is not much point in keeping our
documentation compatible with asciidoc 7.
So we are now free to drop the asciidoc7compatible flag and
update the documentation itself to assume asciidoc8.
Fortunately, doing the latter is very easy; we weren't using
any of the constructs impacted by asciidoc7compatible, so
there are no changes to make.
The reason is somewhat subtle. The asciidoc7compatible
affects only super/sub-scripts ("^" and "~") and index
terms. We don't use the latter at all. Nor we do we use the
former, but we did have to protect them from accidental
expansion in constructs like "rev^1". However, all of our
uses of "~" and "^" are either in code blocks (which are
rendered literally), or inside backticks. Prior to 6cf378f,
backticks were not inline literals, and needed proper
quoting. But post-6cf378f, we don't have to worry whether we
are using the old or new rules, as those characters are not
interpreted at all in either case.
I verified that the result of "make install-html
install-man" is identical before and after this patch on
asciidoc 8.6.7.

"git grep -e '$pattern'", unlike the case where the patterns are read from

From the FILES section of the git-config(1) manual:

That's confusing because $GIT_DIR really is relative to the working

When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message.
While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity
functions are being called, this code is triggered behind
the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g.,
receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog;
the current message is hard to distinguish from an
authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives
a little more context.
While we're at it, we can factor out all of the
cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a
wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make
it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for
the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway,
and it lets us make an even more specific error message.
The current message also fails to mention errno. While the
usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not
exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these
problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain
untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be
set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return
ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases
in our wrapper.

When we pull the user's name from the GECOS field of the
passwd file (or generate an email address based on their
username and hostname), we put the result into a
static buffer. While it's extremely unlikely that anybody
ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their
parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the
error cases in our code.
Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify
the code and drop some error messages from the documentation
that have confused some users.
The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies
with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly.
There are a few exceptions:
- copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code
reduction (since they no longer have to manage the
string length manually)
- git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of
the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple
times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of
just adding
Note that there is still one length limitation: the
gethostname interface requires us to provide a static
buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the
hostname.

Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on
the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means
that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames
and the graph.
The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for
"Bin XXX -> YYY bytes".
If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files,
change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other
way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then
"Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +-
part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files.
This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty
column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change.
Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output.
This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of
up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added
