7d004199d1 Make revision limiting more robust against occasional bad commit dates
The revision limiter uses the commit date to decide when it has seen
enough commits to finalize the revision list, but that can get confused
if there are incorrect dates far in the past on some commits.

This makes the logic a bit more robust by

 - we always walk an extra SLOP commits from the source list even if we
   decide that the source list is probably all done (unless the source is
   entirely empty, of course, because then we really can't do anything at
   all)

 - we keep track of the date of the last commit we added to the
   destination list (this will *generally* be the oldest entry we've seen
   so far)

 - we compare that with the youngest entry (the first one) of the source
   list, and if the destination is older than the source, we know we want
   to look at the source.

which causes occasional date mishaps to be handled cleanly.

ef00d150e4 Tighten refspec processing
This changes the pattern matching code to not store the required final
/ before the *, and then to require each side to be a valid ref (or
empty). In particular, any refspec that looks like it should be a
pattern but doesn't quite meet the requirements will be found to be
invalid as a fallback non-pattern.

971f229c50 Fix possible Solaris problem in 'checkout_entry()'
Currently when checking out an entry "path", we try to unlink(2) it first
(because there could be stale file), and if there is a directory there,
try to deal with it (typically we run recursive rmdir).  We ignore the
error return from this unlink because there may not even be any file
there.

However if you are root on Solaris, you can unlink(2) a directory
successfully and corrupt your filesystem.

This moves the code around and check the directory first, and then
unlink(2).  Also we check the error code from it.

7f8ab8dc07 Don't update unchanged merge entries
In commit 34110cd4e3 ("Make 'unpack_trees()'
have a separate source and destination index") I introduced a really
stupid bug in that it would always add merged entries with the CE_UPDATE
flag set. That caused us to always re-write the file, even when it was
already up-to-date in the source index.

Not only is that really stupid from a performance angle, but more
importantly it's actively wrong: if we have dirty state in the tree when
we merge, overwriting it with the result of the merge will incorrectly
overwrite that dirty state.

This trivially fixes the problem - simply don't set the CE_UPDATE flag
when the merge result matches the old state.

198724ad4e fast-import: Allow "reset" to delete a new branch without error
Creating a branch in fast-import and then resetting it without making
any further commits to it currently causes an error message at the
end of the import.

This error is triggered by cvs2svn's git backend, which uses a
temporary fixup branch when it creates tags, because the fixup branch
is reset after each tag.

This patch prevents the error, allowing "reset" to be used to delete
temporary branches.

transplanting commits that are already made with as little distortion as
possible, and pre-commit check should not interfere.

Earlier, c5b09fe (Avoid update hook during git-rebase --interactive,

6bf4f1b4c9 format-patch: generate MIME header as needed even when there is format.header
Earlier, the callchain from pretty_print_commit() down to pp_title_line()
had an unwarranted assumption that the presense of "after_subject"
parameter, means the caller has already output MIME headers for
attachments.  The parameter's primary purpose is to give extra header
lines the caller wants to place after pp_title_line() generates the
"Subject: " line.

This assumption does not hold when the user used the format.header
configuration variable to pass extra headers, and caused a message with
non-ASCII character to lack proper MIME headers (e.g.  8-bit CTE header).
The earlier logic also failed to suppress duplicated MIME headers when
"format-patch -s --attach" is asked for and the signer's name demanded
8-bit clean transport.

This patch fixes the logic by introducing a separate need_8bit_cte
parameter passed down the callchain.  This can have one of these values:

 -1 : we've already done MIME crap and we do not want to add extra header
      to say this is 8bit in pp_title_line();

  0 : we haven't done MIME and we have not seen anything that is 8bit yet;

  1 : we haven't done MIME and we have seen something that is 8bit;
      pp_title_line() must add MIME header.

It adds two tests by Jeff King who independently diagnosed this issue.

git svn rebase updates commits with git-svn-id: in the repository and
stores the SVN meta data information only in that work dir.  Attempting to
git svn rebase in other work dirs for the same branch would fail because
the last revision fetched according to the git-svn-id is greater than the
revision in the SVN meta data for that work directory.

Damn, this series has had more subtle issues than I ever expected.

'git stash' creates its saved working tree object with:

        # state of the working tree
        w_tree=$( (
                rm -f "$TMP-index" &&
                cp -p ${GIT_INDEX_FILE-"$GIT_DIR/index"} "$TMP-index" &&
                GIT_INDEX_FILE="$TMP-index" &&
                export GIT_INDEX_FILE &&
                git read-tree -m $i_tree &&
                git add -u &&
                git write-tree &&
                rm -f "$TMP-index"
        ) ) ||
                die "Cannot save the current worktree state"

which creates a new index file with the updates, and writes the tree from
that.

We have this logic where we compare the timestamp of the index with the
timestamp of the files and we then write them out "smudged" if they are
the same, and it basically depends on the fact that the date on the index
file is compared with the date encoded in the stat information itself.

And what is going on is:

 - we create a new index file with that "cp". We are careful to preserve
   the timestamps by using "-p", so this one should be all ok.

 - then we *update* that index by resetting it to the tree with git
   read-tree, but now we do *not* preserve the timestamp on this new copy
   any more, even though we copy over all the timestamps on the files that
   are indexed from the stat information!

Now, we always had that problem when re-writing the index, but we had this
clever workaround in the writing part: if the source had racily clean
entries, then when we wrote those out (and thus can't depend on the index
fiel timestamp showing that they are racily clean any more!), we would
smudge them when writing.

IOW, we handle this issue by having write_index() do this:

	for (i = 0; i < entries; i++) {
		...
		if (is_racy_timestamp(istate, ce))
			ce_smudge_racily_clean_entry(ce);
		..

when writing out entries. And that all took care of it, because now when
we wrote the new index, we'd change the timestamp on the index, yes, but
we'd smudge the entries we wrote out, so now the resulting index would
still show that file as not-up-to-date any more.

But with commit 34110cd4e3 ("Make
'unpack_trees()' have a separate source and destination index"), this
logic no longer triggers, because we now write out the "result" index, and
that one never got its timestamp updated from the source index, so it had
lost all that "is_racy_timestamp()" information!

This trivial patch fixes it. It looks trivial, and it's a simple fix, but
boy did it take me way too much thinking and explaining to myself to
explain why there was a problem in the first place!

The trivial fix is to just copy the index timestamp from the source index
into the result index. But we only do this if we *have* a source index, of
course, and if we will even bother to use the result.

The Apple menu is actually not the menu with the Apple corporate

application and is typically called the application menu.  Most users
of git-gui see this menu titled as "Git Gui".  The actual label of

by any other means.  Translating this string in the Tcl PO files

621ff67594 rev-parse: fix meaning of rev~ vs rev~0.
I think it would make more sense for rev~ to have the same guarantees that
rev^ has, namely to always return a commit. I would also suggest that not
giving a number would have the same effect of defaulting to 1, not 0.

Right now it's a bit illogical, but at least it's an _undocumented_
illogical behaviour.

This patch makes '^' and '~' act the same for the default count (i.e. both
default to 1), and also have the same behaviour for a count of zero.

Before (no discernible pattern):

	[torvalds@woody git]$ git rev-parse v1.5.1 v1.5.1^0 v1.5.1~0 v1.5.1^ v1.5.1~
	45354a57ee7e3e42c7137db6c94fa968c6babe8d

	045f5759c9
	45354a57ee7e3e42c7137db6c94fa968c6babe8d

aab0abf7ef t6000lib: re-fix tr portability
It seems that some implementations of tr don't like a
replacement string of '-----...'; they try to find the
double-dash option "---...".

Instead of this pipeline of tr and sed invocations, just use a
single perl invocation.

8719f1286e gitk: Default to using po2msg.sh if msgfmt doesn't grok --tcl, -l and -d
This is a similar change to that submitted by Junio C Hamano for
git-gui.  It tests whether the msgfmt command can be run successfully
with --tcl, -l and -d, and if not, falls back to using po/po2msg.sh.

4ba0cb27c1 wt-status.c: no need for dup() dance anymore
Now we can generate diff to a file descriptor, we do not have to
dup() the stdout around when writing the status output.

77e21533a9 web--browse: use custom commands defined at config time
Currently "git web--browse" is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the "browser.<tool>.path" to force "git
web--browse" to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.

This patch adds a git config variable "browser.<tool>.cmd" which
allows a more flexible browser choice.

If you run "git web--browse" with -t/--tool, -b/--browser or the
"web.browser" config variable set to an unrecognized tool then "git
web--browse" will query the "browser.<tool>.cmd" config variable. If
this variable exists, then "git web--browse" will treat the specified
tool as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command
with the URLs added as extra parameters.
