The gitattributes documentation has a section on the "diff"
attribute, with subsections for each of the things you might
want to configure in your diff config section (external
diff, hunk headers, etc). The first such subsection
specifically notes that the definition of the diff driver
should go into $GIT_DIR/config, but subsequent sections do
not.
This location is implied if you are reading the
documentation sequentially, but it is not uncommon for a new
user to jump to (or be referred to) a specific section. For
a new user who does not know git well enough to recognize
the config syntax, it is not clear that those directives
don't also go into the gitattributes file.
This patch just mentions the config file in each subsection,
similar to the way it is mentioned in the first.

Most of description for the branch creation options is
simply cut and paste from git-branch. There are two reasons
to fix this:
1. It can grow stale with respect to what's in "git
branch" (which it is now is).
2. It is not just an implementation detail, but rather the
desired mental model for the command that we are using
"git branch" here. Being explicit about that can help
the user understand what is going on.
It also makes sense to strip the branch creation options
from the synopsis, as they are making it a long,
hard-to-read line. They are still easily discovered by
reading the options list, and --track is explicitly
referenced when branch creation is described.

The term "tracking" often creates confusion between remote
tracking branches and local branches which track a remote
branch. The term "upstream" captures more clearly the idea
of "branch A is based on branch B in some way", so it makes
sense to mention it.
At the same time, upstream branches are used for more
than just git-pull these days; let's mention that here.

The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.
A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.

With "git add -e [<files>]", Git will fire up an editor with the current
diff relative to the index (i.e. what you would get with "git diff
[<files>]").
Now you can edit the patch as much as you like, including adding/removing
lines, editing the text, whatever. Make sure, though, that the first
character of the hunk lines is still a space, a plus or a minus.
After you closed the editor, Git will adjust the line counts of the hunks
if necessary, thanks to the --recount option of apply, and commit the
patch. Except if you deleted everything, in which case nothing happens
(for obvious reasons).

We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name
ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not
appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will
its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all".
In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause
repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a
ref are deleted by "git prune".
It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix.

This changes the rules for refnames to forbid:
(1) a refname that contains "@{" in it.
Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches
as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it.
However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster. It cannot even
checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as
"detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch".
(2) a refname that ends with a dot.
We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily
to avoid ambiguous range interpretation. If we allowed ".B" as a
valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or
"either in A or B but not in both".
But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in
B but not in A-dot". This was not a problem in the original range
notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot
notation was introduced.
Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this
rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component",
because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can
say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B".
For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these
names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some
time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or
by accident.
To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover,
we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow
"branch -m bad. good" to rename them.

If a git push without any refspecs is attempted, display a warning.
The current default behavior is to push all matching refspecs, which
may come as a surprise to new users, so the warning shows how

When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching
branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not
useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default
behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences.
Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what
action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the
command line arguments or the current remote configuration.
Possible values are:
'nothing' : Push nothing;
'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already
exist in the current remote;
'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking;
'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name,
i.e. HEAD.

Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to

GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to
defeat the pager started by git grep. The value of the config
variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would
colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected
works. The default is to not pass any option, because the external
grep command could be a program without color support.
Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to
pass the configured color for matches to the external grep. This
works with GNU grep; other variables could be added as needed.

send-email violates the principle of least surprise by automatically
cc'ing additional recipients without confirming this with the user.
This patch teaches send-email a --confirm option. It takes the
following values:
--confirm=always always confirm before sending
--confirm=never never confirm before sending
--confirm=cc confirm before sending when send-email has
automatically added addresses from the patch to
the Cc list
--confirm=compose confirm before sending the first message when
using --compose. (Needed to maintain backwards
compatibility with existing behavior.)
--confirm=auto 'cc' + 'compose'
If sendemail.confirm is unconfigured, the option defaults to 'compose'
if any suppress-Cc related options have been used, otherwise it defaults
to 'auto'.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to introduce this patch such that it
helps new users without potentially annoying some existing users. We
attempt to mitigate the latter by:
* Allowing the user to set 'git config sendemail.confirm never'
* Allowing the user to say 'all' after the first prompt to not be
prompted on remaining emails during the same invocation.
* Telling the user about the 'sendemail.confirm' setting if it is
unconfigured whenever we prompt due to Cc before sending.
* Only prompting if no --suppress related options have been passed, as
using such an option is likely to indicate an experienced send-email
user.
There is a slight fib in message informing the user of the
sendemail.confirm setting and this is intentional. Setting 'auto'
differs from leaving sendemail.confirm unset in two ways: 1) 'auto'
obviously squelches the informational message; 2) 'auto' prompts when
the Cc list has been expanded even in the presence of a --suppress
related option, where leaving sendemail.confirm unset does not. This is
intentional to keep the message simple, and to avoid adding another
sendemail.confirm value ('auto-except-suppress'?).

Change --suppress-cc=sob to mean only SOB lines, and add separate
choices 'bodycc' (body Cc lines) and 'body' (both 'sob' and 'bodycc').

map_user() allows to lookup and replace both email and

The possible mailmap definitions are now:

<proper_email> <commit_email> # New style
proper_name <proper_email> <commit_email> # New style
proper_name <proper_email> commit_name <commit_email> # New style

git submodule update --no-fetch makes it possible to use git submodule
update in complete offline mode by not fetching new revisions.
This does make sense in the following setup:
* There is an unstable and a stable branch in the super/master repository.
* The submodules might be at different revisions in the branches.
* You are at some place without internet connection ;)
With this patch it is now possible to change branches and update
the submodules to be at the recorded revision without online access.
Another advantage is that with -N the update operation is faster, because fetch is checking for new updates even if there was no fetch/pull on the super/master repository since the last update.

Currently, the only colors available to --pretty=format

syntax available, including more colors, backgrounds, and
attributes.
Because colors are no longer bounded to a single word (e.g.,
%Cred), this uses a more advanced syntax that features a
beginning and end delimiter (but the old syntax still
works). So you can now do:
git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(yellow)%h%C(reset) %s'

In some applications, words are not delimited by white space. To
allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing
what makes a word with
git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+'
Note that words cannot contain newline characters.
As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the
regular expression.
Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only
a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of
a line, and is probably not what you want.

still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like
DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

nice to have a real person to associate things with. Suggest this in the
SubmittingPatches document.

The SYNOPSIS section of the manual writes:
git checkout [options] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>...
but the DESCRIPTION says that this form checks the paths out "from the
index, or from a named commit." A later sentence refers to the same
argument as "<tree-ish> argument", but it is not clear that these two
sentences are talking about the same command line argument for first-time
readers.

In a freshly initialized repo it is only necessary to rename the .sample
hooks, but when using older repos (initialized with older git init)
enabled the +x mode is still necessary - docuement this.

Since f98f8cb (Ship sample hooks with .sample suffix, 2008-06-24) hooks
are not enabled by making them executable anymore, but by removing the
'.sample' suffix from the filename.

Use '{tilde}' instead of '~', becase the later does not appear in the
manpage version, just in the HTML one.
Noticed by gonzzor on IRC.

Now git gui has a customizable Tools menu, so this adds
information about variables that are used to configure it.

This changes git mergetool to remove the temporary files used to invoke
the merge tool even if it returns non-zero.
This also adds a configuration option (mergetool.keepTemporaries) to
retain the previous behaviour if desired.

Use dblatex in order to create a pdf version of the git user manual. No
existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to
explicitly say
make pdf
sudo make install-pdf
to get user-manual.pdf created and installed.

The commit log message for the feature made it sound as if this is a saner
version of --mixed, but the use case presented makes it clear that it is a
better variant of --hard when your changes and somebody else's changes are
mixed together.
Perhaps we would want to rewrite the example that shows the use of --hard
not to talk about recovering from a failed merge?

It appears that a reference to an anchor defined as [[anchor-name]] from
another place using <<anchor-name>> syntax, when the anchor name contains
a string "-with-" in its name, triggers these warnings from Python
interpreter.
asciidoc -b docbook -d book user-manual.txt
<string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
<string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
<string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
<string>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
There currently is no reference to "Finding comments with given content",
but for consistency and for futureproofing, the anchor is also updated as
the other ones that are actually used and trigger these warnings.
