Ignored files usually are generated files (e.g. .o files) and can be
safely discarded. However sometimes users may have important files in
working directory, but still want a clean "git status", so they mark
them as ignored files. But in this case, these files should not be
overwritten without asking first.
Enable this use case with --no-overwrite-ignore, where git only sees
tracked and untracked files, no ignored files. Those who mix
discardable ignored files with important ones may have to sort it out
themselves.

Back in 1127148 (Loosen "working file will be lost" check in
Porcelain-ish - 2006-12-04), git-checkout.sh learned to quietly
overwrite ignored files. Howver the code only took .gitignore files
into account.
Standard ignored files include all specified in .gitignore files in
working directory _and_ $GIT_DIR/info/exclude. This patch makes sure
ignored files in info/exclude can also be overwritten automatically in
the spirit of the original patch.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.
Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

Checking paths out of a tree is (currently) defined to do:
- Grab the paths from the named tree that match the given pathspec,
and add them to the index;
- Check out the contents from the index for paths that match the
pathspec to the working tree; and while at it
- If the given pathspec did not match anything, suspect a typo from the
command line and error out without updating the index nor the working
tree.
Suppose that the branch you are working on has dir/myfile, and the "other"
branch has dir/other but not dir/myfile. Further imagine that you have
either modified or removed dir/myfile in your working tree, but you have
not run "git add dir/myfile" or "git rm dir/myfile" to tell Git about your
local change. Running
$ git checkout other dir
would add dir/other to the index with the contents taken out of the
"other" branch, and check out the paths from the index that match the
pathspec "dir", namely, "dir/other" and "dir/myfile", overwriting your
local changes to "dir/myfile", even though "other" branch does not even
know about that file.
Fix it by updating the working tree only with the index entries that
was read from the "other" tree.

The "git branch" command, while not in listing mode, calls create_branch()
even when the target branch already exists, and it does so even when it is
not interested in updating the value of the branch (i.e. the name of the
commit object that sits at the tip of the existing branch). This happens
when the command is run with "--set-upstream" option.
The earlier safety-measure to prevent "git branch -f $branch $commit" from
updating the currently checked out branch did not take it into account,
and we no longer can update the tracking information of the current branch.
Minimally fix this regression by telling the validation code if it is
called to really update the value of a potentially existing branch, or if
the caller merely is interested in updating auxiliary aspects of a branch.

"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch
which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset
normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog
in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it).
"git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this
bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its
task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this
manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD.
"git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with
a fatal error.
Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the
same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from
updating the current branch.
We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message
but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was
actually trying to do.

The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:
$ mkdir sub
$ cd sub
$ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
$ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.
So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.
Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.
$ cd Documentation
$ git checkout nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
$ git commit nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...
by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.
The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().
A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

You can detach the HEAD at an arbitrary commit in order to browse the
files in various points in the history or build older versions of the
software, without recording any new commit, and come back to an existing
branch. When used in this "sightseer" mode, detached HEAD is a perfectly
safe mechanism. It also is a useful state to experiment with throw-away
commits.
When coming back to an existing branch with "git checkout master",
however, the commits that were created on the detached HEAD will become
unreachable from anywhere but the reflog of the HEAD. Check if the commit
we are about to leave is connected to some ref, and give a final warning
otherwise to remind the user for safety.

The usual dwim_ref lookup prefers tags to branches. Because
checkout primarily works on branches, though, we switch that
behavior to prefer branches.
However, there was a bug in the implementation in which we
used lookup_commit_reference (which used the regular lookup
rules) to get the actual commit to checkout. Checking out an
ambiguous ref therefore ended up putting us in an extremely
broken state in which we wrote the branch ref into HEAD, but
actually checked out the tree for the tag.

When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
(i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),
Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for

identical errors.

would_lose_untracked_file to avoid a clash with the function
would_lose_untracked in merge-recursive.c.

Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the
merge.renormalize configuration. The --no-renormalize option can
be used to override it in the negative.
So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:
git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch
or
git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch
or
git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize
The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands. And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

Add a “renormalize” bit to the ll-merge options word so callers can
decide on a case-by-case basis whether the merge is likely to have
overlapped with a change in smudge/clean rules.
This reveals a few commands that have not been taking that situation
into account, though it does not fix them.
No functional change intended.

Since they do not precede setup_revisions, these assignments of 0 to
rev.abbrev have no effect.
v1.7.1.1~17^2~3 (2010-05-03) taught the log --format=%h machinery
to respect --abbrev instead of always abbreviating, so we have to pay
attention to the abbrev setting now.

859c301 (refs: split log_ref_write logic into log_ref_setup,
2010-05-21) refactors the stack allocation of the log_file array into
the new log_ref_setup() function, but passes it back to the caller.
Since the original intent seems to have been to split the work between
log_ref_setup and log_ref_write, make it the caller's responsibility
to allocate the buffer.

Unfortunately, there are still plenty of production systems with
vendor compilers that choke unless all compound declarations can be
determined statically at compile time, for example hpux10.20 (I can
provide a comprehensive list of our supported platforms that exhibit
this problem if necessary).
This patch simply breaks apart any compound declarations with dynamic
initialisation expressions, and moves the initialisation until after
the last declaration in the same block, in all the places necessary to
have the offending compilers accept the code.

Similar to -b, --orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any
commit. After running "git checkout --orphan newbranch", you are on a
new branch "newbranch", and the first commit you create from this state
will start a new history without any ancestry.
"git checkout --orphan" keeps the index and the working tree files
intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose
trees resemble the ones from the original branch.
When creating a branch whose trees have no resemblance to the ones from
the original branch, it may be easier to start work on the new branch by
untracking and removing all working tree files that came from the
original branch, by running a 'git rm -rf .' immediately after running
"checkout --orphan".

git checkout --merge --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflict
hunks including text from the common ancestor. The added information
is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and merge tools tend to
understand it because it is very similar to what ‘diff3 -m’ produces.
Unlike current git, diff3 -m includes a label for the merge base on
the ||||||| line, and unfortunately, some tools cannot parse the
conflict hunks without it. Humans can benefit from a cue when
learning to interpreting the format, too. Mark the start of the text
from the old branch with a label based on the branch’s name.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing this output and its preimage
ids are unchanged since it includes its own code for recreating
conflict hunks. No other code in git tries to parse conflict hunks.

git checkout --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflicts hunks
including text from the common ancestor:
<<<<<<< ours
ourside
|||||||
original
=======
theirside
>>>>>>> theirs
The added information is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and
merge tools can usually understand it without trouble because it looks
like output from ‘diff3 -m’.
diff3 includes a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line, and it
seems some tools (for example, Emacs 22’s smerge-mode) cannot parse
conflict hunks without such a label. Humans could use help in
interpreting the output, too. So change the marker for the start of the
text from the common ancestor to include the label “base”.
git rerere’s conflict identifiers are not affected: to parse conflict
hunks, rerere looks for whitespace after the ||||||| marker rather
than a newline, and to compute preimage ids, rerere has its own code
for creating conflict hunks. No other code in git tries to parse
conflict hunks.

Commands using the ll_merge() function will present conflict hunks
imitating ‘diff3 -m’ output if the merge.conflictstyle configuration
option is set appropriately. Unlike ‘diff3 -m’, the output does not
include a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line of the output,
and some tools misparse the conflict hunks without that.
Add a new ancestor_label parameter to ll_merge() to give callers the
power to rectify this situation. If ancestor_label is NULL, the output
format is unchanged. All callers pass NULL for now.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
