0e5168fd18 fix cat-file usage message and documentation
cat-file with an object on the command line requires an
option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print,
etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that
those options are not required. This patch switches them to
parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly
braces might also work, but this follows the convention used
already by "git stash").

While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the
usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and
it does actually use the regular object lookup.

df217ed643 parse-opts: add OPT_FILENAME and transition builtins
Commit dbd0f5c (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd,
2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a minimal fix.
OPT_FILENAME is intended to be a more robust fix for the same issue.
OPT_FILENAME and its associated enum OPTION_FILENAME are used to
represent filename options within the parse options API.

This option is similar to OPTION_STRING. If --no is prefixed to the
option the filename is unset. If no argument is given and the default
value is set, the filename is set to the default value. The difference
is that the filename is prefixed with the prefix passed to
parse_options() (or parse_options_start()).

Update git-apply, git-commit, git-fmt-merge-msg, and git-tag to use
OPT_FILENAME with their filename options. Also, rename
parse_options_fix_filename() to fix_filename() as it is no longer
extern.

3778292017 parse-opts: prepare for OPT_FILENAME
To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options()
which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix
member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the
calling context, passing NULL will suffice.

36db1eddf9 git-svn: add --authors-prog option
Add a new option, --authors-prog, to git-svn that allows a more flexible
alternative (or supplement) to --authors-file.  This allows more
advanced username operations than the authors file will allow.  For
example, one may look up Subversion users via LDAP, or may generate the
name and email address from the Subversion username.

Notes:

* If both --authors-name and --authors-prog are given, the former is
  tried first, falling back to the later.

* The program is called once per unique SVN username, and the result is
  cached.

* The command-line argument must be the path to a program, not a generic
  shell command line.  The absolute path to this program is taken at
  startup since the git-svn script changes directory during operation.

* The option is not enabled for `git svn log'.

[ew: fixed case where neither --authors-(name|prog) were defined]

f1cf2d8b14 mktree --batch: build more than one tree object
This option works in a similar way to the '--batch' option of 'git cat-file'.
It enables creation of many tree objects with a single process.

The change was motivated by performance considerations in applications that
need to create many tree objects. A non-rigorous test showed tree creation
times improved from (roughly) 200ms to 50ms.

09caa24fac send-email: Add config option for sender address
The sender address, as specified with the '--from' command line option,
couldn't be set in the config file.  So add a new config option,
'sendemail.from', which sets it.  One can use 'sendemail.<identity>.from'
as well of course, which is likely the more useful case.

The sender address would default to GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT, which is usually the
right thing, but this doesn't allow switching based on the identity
selected.  It's possible to switch the SMTP server and envelope sender by
using the '--identity' option, in which case one probably wants to use a
different from address as well, but this had to be manually specified.

The documentation for 'from' is also corrected somewhat.  If '--from' is
specified (or the new sendemail.from option is used) then the user isn't
prompted.  The default with no '--from' option (or sendemail.from option)
is GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT first then GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, not just
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT.

be66a6c43d Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

ca2cedba70 git-submodule: add support for --rebase.
'git submodule update --rebase' rebases your local branch on top of what
would have been checked out to a detached HEAD otherwise.

In some cases, detaching the HEAD when updating a submodule complicates
the workflow to commit to this submodule (checkout master, rebase, then
commit).  For submodules that require frequent updates but infrequent
(if any) commits, a rebase can be executed directly by the git-submodule
command, ensuring that the submodules stay on their respective branches.

git-config key: submodule.$name.rebase (bool)

c4c86d2389 doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config text
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.

  refs/heads/xyzzy
  refs/tags/xyzzy

the abbreviated forms are:

  heads/xyzzy

76cfadfc17 doc/checkout: split checkout and branch creation in synopsis
These can really be thought of as two different modes, since
the "<branch>" parameter is treated differently in the two

it is really a start-point for branch creation).

26d22dc64a doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriate
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.

167d744543 doc: refer to tracking configuration as "upstream"
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.

47d65924a6 mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variables
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.

c59cb03a8b git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)
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).

0d8bee71af git-svn: Add per-svn-remote ignore-paths config
The --ignore-paths option to fetch is very useful for working on a subset
of a SVN repository.  For proper operation, every command that causes a
fetch (explicit or implied) must include a matching --ignore-paths option.

This patch adds a persistent svn-remote.$repo_id.ignore-paths config by
promoting Fetcher::is_path_ignored to a member function and initializing
$self->{ignore_regex} in Fetcher::new.  Command line --ignore-paths is
still recognized and acts in addition to the config value.

Fix the git-svn documentation svn-remote example section talking about

Using "trunk" actually might be nice, but it doesn't currently work.

The fetch line for the trunk was also reordered to be at the top of the
list, since most people think about the trunk/tags/branches trio in that
logical order.

With this change, the "spurious .sp" suppression XSLT code is
disabled by default. It can be enabled by defining
DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP.

The "spurious .sp" XSLT fragment was used to work around a bug
first released in docbook-xsl 1.69.1. Modern versions of
docbook-xsl are negatively affected by the code (some empty lines
are omitted from manpage output; see
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/115302>).

The key revisions in the docbook SVN repo seem to be 5144 (before
docbook-xsl 1.69.1) and 6359 (before docbook-xsl 1.71.1).

This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal
text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text.

The initial implementation (pre-mailing-list) of this patch
included a conditional variant of the XSLT code in
manpage-base.xsl and use xmlto's --stringparam option to
optionally enable the functionality. It turns out that
--stringparam is broken in all versions of xmlto except for the
pre-release, SVN version. Since xmlto is a shell script the patch
to fix it is simple enough, but I instead opted to use xmlto's
"module" functionality.

Move a couple of XSL parameters that act to silence
informational/warning messages generated when running xmlto from
manpage-1.72.xsl to manpage-base.xsl.

Since unused parameters are silently ignored, there is no problem
if some version of docbook-xsl does not know about these
parameters. The only problem might be if a version of docbook-xsl
uses the parameters for alternate functionality. Since both
parameters have fairly specific names such a situation is
unlikely.

other than 1.72.0.

Also, document which make variables should be set for various

3e262b95c5 Don't permit ref/branch names to end with ".lock"
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.
In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches";
you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output.

cbdffe4093 check_ref_format(): tighten refname rules
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.

665d3e8f05 Display warning for default git push with no push.default config
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
push.default can be configured and what the possible values are.

Traditionalists who wish to keep the current behaviour are also told
how to configure this once and never see the warning again.

521537476f New config push.default to decide default behavior for push
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.

dcb11263bc Documentation: remove extra quoting/emphasis around literal texts
If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from
normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need
extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments.

config.txt

  Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide
  emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough.

  Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present
  in the described config value, so drop them.

git-checkout.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line
  argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve
  curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to
  indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of
  certain shells (tcsh).

git-merge.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge
  conflict markers. The quotes should are not important.

git-rev-parse.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line
  arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary.

gitcli.txt

  Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line
  examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong
  inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it.

glossary-content.txt
user-manual.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.

0d260f9a09 parseopt: prevent KEEP_UNKNOWN and STOP_AT_NON_OPTION from being used together
As suggested by Junio, disallow the flags PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and
PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION to be turned on at the same time, as a
value of an unknown option could be mistakenly classified as a
non-option, stopping the parser early.  E.g.:

	git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1

The parser should have stopped at "arg0", but it already stops at
"value".

This patch makes parse_options() die if the two flags are used in
combination.

a94982ef39 grep: add support for coloring with external greps
Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to
switch on coloring of external greps.  To enable auto coloring with
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.

31653c1abc Make git blame's date output format configurable, like git log
Add the following:

 - git config value blame.date that expects one of the git log date
   formats (e.g. relative,local,default,iso,...);

 - git blame command line option --date expects one of the git
   log date formats;

 - documentation in blame-options.txt;

 - git blame uses the appropriate date.c functions and enums to
   make sense of the date format and provide appropriate data;

git blame continues to line up the output columns by padding the date
column up to the max width of the chosen date format.

The date format for git blame without both blame.date and --date continues
to be ISO for backwards compatibility.

git annotate ignores the date format specifiers and continues to uses the
ISO format, as before.

c1f2aa45b7 send-email: add --confirm option and configuration setting
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'?).

30984ed2e9 format-patch: support deep threading
For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured
like

  + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
   `-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
      `-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
         `-+ ...

we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default).  On
the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives
shallow mode, i.e.,

  + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
  |-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
  |-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
  ...

To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named
features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch
take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output
as 'send-mail --thread'.  With no argument, or 'shallow', behave as
before.  Also add a configuration variable format.thread with the same
semantics.

So here's a throw-away patch (meaning: I won't be re-sending it, because I
really don't think it's a big deal) to add "--date=raw". It just prints
out the internal raw git format - seconds since epoch plus timezone (put

c64d84f145 imap.preformattedHTML to tell Thunderbird to send non-flowed text
Many e-mail based development communities require non-flowed text to carry
patches to prevent whitespaces from getting mangled, but there is no easy
way to tell Thunderbird MUA not to use format=flowed, unless you configure
it to do so unconditionally for all outgoing mails.

A workaround for users who use git-imap-send is to wrap the patch in "pre"
element in the draft folder as an HTML message, and tell Thunderbird to
send "text only".  Thunderbird turns such a message into a non-flowed
plain text when sending it out, which is what we want for patch e-mails.

3531e2703d send-email: --suppress-cc improvements
Since 6564828 (git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient
mechanism., 2007-12-25) we can suppress automatic Cc generation
separately for each of the possible address sources.  However,
--suppress-cc=sob suppressed both SOB lines and body (but not header)
Cc lines, contrary to the name.

Change --suppress-cc=sob to mean only SOB lines, and add separate
choices 'bodycc' (body Cc lines) and 'body' (both 'sob' and 'bodycc').
The option --no-signed-off-by-cc now acts like --suppress-cc=sob,
which is not backwards compatible but matches the name of the option.

Also update the documentation and add a few tests.

Original patch by me. Revised by Thomas Rast, who contributed the
documentation and test updates.

Add a section about how to shrink a repository's size after running
git-filter-branch to remove large blobs from history.

This comes up every week or so on IRC, and the commands required to
handle every case are not very newbie-friendly, so hopefully writing
them down somewhere leads to fewer questions.

It may seem contradictory to document fallbacks for older Gits in

they will frequently not have the newest version installed.
