Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.
When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.
Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.
If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:
$ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

This was misinterpreted as an ancient style "git merge <message> HEAD
<commit> <commit>..." that merges one (or more) <commit> into the current
branch and record the resulting commit with the given message. Then a
later sanity check found that there is no <commit> specified and gave
a usage message.

Although 'git help' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git
repository and uses no repository-specific information, it looks for a git
directory. Searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount
environments. With this commit, 'git help' no longer searches for a
repository when run without any options.
7c3baa9 originally modified 'git help -a' to not require a repository.
This applies the same fix for 'git help'.

The patch structure has def_name component that is used to validate the
sanity of a "diff --git" patch by checking pathnames that appear on the
patch header lines for consistency. The git_header_name() function is
used to compute this out of "diff --git a/... b/..." line, but the code
always stripped one level of prefix (i.e. "a/" and "b/"), without paying
attention to -p<n> option. Code in find_name() function that parses other
lines in the patch header (e.g. "--- a/..." and "+++ b/..." lines) however
did strip the correct number of leading paths prefixes, and the sanity
check between these computed values failed.
Teach git_header_name() to honor -p<n> option like find_name() function
does.

Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display
during the writing object phase even if output goes to stdout which is
primarily the case during a push operation. This has the unfortunate
side effect of forcing progress display even if stderr is not a
terminal.
Let's introduce the --all-progress-implied argument which has the same
intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress
display. With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited
whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be
included otherwise. This should let people use 'git push' within a cron
job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

Running 'git instaweb' when an instaweb server is already running will
fail (at least when the port is the same) and overwrite the pid file
used to track the currently running server. This turns out to be
especially annoying when the user tries to stop the previously running
server with 'git instaweb --stop' and is instead greeted with an error
message because the pid file has been destroyed.
Instead of allowing a user to start two instaweb servers, stop the
currently running server first and then start the new one. This should
be fine because it was never really possible to start two instaweb
servers in the first place due to the pid file issue outlined above.

The current man page does a reasonable job at describing branch management
during the development process, but it does not contain any guidance as to
how the branches are affected by releases.
Add a basic introduction to the branch management undertaken during a
git.git release, so that a reader may gain some insight into how the
integration, maintenance, and topic branches are affected during the
release transition, and is thus able to better design the process for their
own project.
Other release activities such as reviews, testing, and creating
distributions are currently out of scope.

After running one round of estimate_similarity(), filespecs on either
side will have populated their cnt_data fields, and we do not need
the blob text anymore. We used to retain the blob data to optimize
for smaller projects (not freeing the blob data here would mean that
the final output phase would not have to re-read it), but we are
efficient enough without such optimization for smaller projects anyway,
and freeing memory early will help larger projects.

Some test scripts run Perl scripts as if they were git-* scripts, and
thus need to use the same perl that will be put in the shebang line of
git*.perl commands. $PERL_PATH therefore needs to be used instead of
a bare "perl".
The tests can fail if another perl is found in $PATH before the one
defined in $PERL_PATH.
Example test failure caused by this: the perl defined in $PERL_PATH has
Error.pm installed, and therefore the Git.pm's Makefile.PL doesn't install
the private copy. The perl from $PATH doesn't have Error.pm installed, and
all git*.perl scripts invoked during the test will fail loading Error.pm.

The "break" phase works by counting changes between two
blobs with the same path. We do this by splitting the file
into chunks (or lines for text oriented files) and then
keeping a count of chunk hashes.
The "rename" phase counts changes between blobs at two
different paths. However, it uses the exact same set of
chunk hashes (which are immutable for a given sha1).
The rename phase can therefore use the same hash data as
break. Unfortunately, we were throwing this data away after
computing it in the break phase. This patch instead attaches
it to the filespec and lets it live through the rename
phase, working under the assumption that most of the time
that breaks are being computed, renames will be too.
We only do this optimization for files which have actually
been broken, as those ones will be candidates for rename
detection (and it is a time-space tradeoff, so we don't want
to waste space keeping useless data).

As we look at each changed file and consider breaking it, we
load the blob data and make a decision about whether to
break, which is independent of any other blobs that might
have changed. However, we keep the data in memory while we
consider breaking all of the other files. Which means that
both versions of every file you are diffing are in memory at
the same time.
This patch instead frees the blob data as we finish with
each file pair, leading to much lower memory usage.
