7a0d911f11 Documentation: simplify refspec format description
The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it
very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show
that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations.

Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in
informal prose.

c30e5673f9 gittutorial: remove misleading note
In the tutorial Alice initializes the repository, and Bob clones it. So
Bob can just do a 'git pull', but Alice will need 'git pull <url>
<branch>'.

The note suggested that the branch parameter is not necessary, which is
no longer true these days.

a79ec62d06 git-am: Add --ignore-date option
This new option tells 'git-am' to ignore the date header field
recorded in the format-patch output. The commits will have the
timestamp when they are created instead.

You can work a lot in one day to accumulate many changes, but
apply and push to the public repository only some of them at
the end of the first day. Then next day you can spend all your
working hours reading comics or chatting with your coworkers,
and apply your remaining patches from the previous day using
this option to pretend that you have been working at the end
of the day.

c002922adc expand --pretty=format color options
Currently, the only colors available to --pretty=format
users are red, green, and blue. Rather than expand it with a
few new colors, this patch makes the usual config color
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'

to emulate --pretty=oneline, or even

  git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(cyan magenta bold)%s%C(reset)'

if you want to relive the awesomeness of 4-color CGA.

80c49c3de2 color-words: make regex configurable via attributes
Make the --color-words splitting regular expression configurable via
the diff driver's 'wordregex' attribute.  The user can then set the
driver on a file in .gitattributes.  If a regex is given on the
command line, it overrides the driver's setting.

We also provide built-in regexes for the languages that already had
funcname patterns, and add an appropriate diff driver entry for C/++.
(The patterns are designed to run UTF-8 sequences into a single chunk
to make sure they remain readable.)

2b6a5417d7 color-words: take an optional regular expression describing words
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.

This commit contains a quoting fix by Thomas Rast.

d3240d935c filter-branch: add git_commit_non_empty_tree and --prune-empty.
git_commit_non_empty_tree is added to the functions that can be run from
commit filters. Its effect is to commit only commits actually touching the
tree and that are not merge points either.

The option --prune-empty is added. It defaults the commit-filter to
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"', and can be used with any other
combination of filters, except --commit-hook that must used
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"' where one puts 'git commit-tree "$@"'
usually to achieve the same result.

2fc647004a strbuf: instate cleanup rule in case of non-memory errors
Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if
they have allocated it.  They don't shrink buffers that have been grown,
though.

This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call
strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had
to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves.

Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink.

6d0e674a57 diff: add option to show context between close hunks
Merge two hunks if there is only the specified number of otherwise unshown
context between them.  For --inter-hunk-context=1, the resulting patch has
the same number of lines but shows uninterrupted context instead of a
context header line in between.

Patches generated with this option are easier to read but are also more
likely to conflict if the file to be patched contains other changes.

This patch keeps the default for this option at 0.  It is intended to just
make the feature available in order to see its advantages and downsides.

9c6c304d6a Fix the building of gitman.info document
"makeinfo" failed to generate gitman.info from gitman.texi input file
because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the
same name (DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, SEE ALSO etc.). An Info document should
contain unique node names.

This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the
validation of the final Info file. Jumping to nodes in the Info document
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
the man page where they appear first (that is git-add currently).

Also, this patch adds directory-entry information for Info document to
make the document appear in the top-level Info directory.

879ef2485d Introduce commit notes
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.

(http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_macro_definitions)
that macros are supposed to be defined in [macros] section. I'm not
sure whether undefined linkgit macro was working by pure chance or it
is a regression in asciidoc 8.3.0, but this patch adds proper
definition for the linkgit macro, allowing it to work on 8.3.0.

11920d28da Add a built-in alias for 'stage' to the 'add' command
This comes from conversation at the GitTogether where we thought it would
be helpful to be able to teach people to 'stage' files because it tends
to cause confusion when told that they have to keep 'add'ing them.

This continues the movement to start referring to the index as a
staging area (eg: the --staged alias to 'git diff'). Also adds a
doc file for 'git stage' that basically points to the docs for
'git add'.

9b864e730b add strbuf_expand_dict_cb(), a helper for simple cases
The new callback function strbuf_expand_dict_cb() can be used together
with strbuf_expand() if there is only a small number of placeholders
for static replacement texts.  It expects its dictionary as an array of
placeholder+value pairs as context parameter, terminated by an entry
with the placeholder member set to NULL.

The new helper is intended to aid converting the remaining calls of
interpolate().  strbuf_expand() is smaller, more flexible and can be
used to go faster than interpolate(), so it should replace the latter.

The -A option calls pack-objects with the --unpack-unreachable option so
that the unreachable objects in local packs are left in the local object
store loose. But if the -d option to repack was _not_ used, then these
unpacked loose objects are redundant and unnecessary.

Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an

Current git versions ignore everything after # (called <head> in the
following) when pushing. Older versions (before cf818348f1),
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>.

986e82396a receive-pack: detect push to current branch of non-bare repo
Pushing into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare
repository can be dangerous; the HEAD then loses sync with
the index and working tree, and it looks in the receiving
repo as if the pushed changes have been reverted in the
index (since they were never there in the first place).

This patch adds a safety valve that checks for this
condition and either generates a warning or denies the
update. We trigger the check only on a non-bare repository,
since a bare repo does not have a working tree (and in fact,
pushing to the HEAD branch is a common workflow for
publishing repositories).

The behavior is configurable via receive.denyCurrentBranch,
defaulting to "warn" so as not to break existing setups
(though it may, after a deprecation period, switch to
"refuse" by default). For users who know what they are doing
and want to silence the warning (e.g., because they have a
post-receive hook that reconciles the HEAD and working
tree), they can turn off the warning by setting it to false
or "ignore".

bf98421a33 Implement git remote rename
The new rename subcommand does the followings:

1) Renames the remote.foo configuration section to remote.bar

2) Updates the remote.bar.fetch refspecs

3) Updates the branch.*.remote settings

4) Renames the tracking branches: renames the normal refs and rewrites
   the symrefs to point to the new refs.

16088d8870 format-patch documentation: mention the special case of showing a single commit
Even long timers seem to have missed that "format-patch -1 $commit" is a
much simpler and more obvious way to say "format-patch $commit^..$commit"
from the current documentation (and an example "format-patch -3 $commit"
to get three patches).  Add an explicit instruction in a much earlier part
of the documentation to make it easier to find.
