sure we depend on it. We don't use it anywhere else, so we

a521845800 Documentation: remove stray backslash in show-branch discussion
Because there is no unescaped apostrophe to pair it with, asciidoc
does not consider this apostrophe a candidate for escaping and
the backslash passes through.

4fccc0494a Documentation: remove stray backslashes from "Fighting regressions" article
The intended text is "it's O(N * T) vs O(N * T * M)".  Asciidoc
notices the spaces around the asterisks so there is no need to
escape them (and if you try, it passes the backslashes through).

70676e69a5 Documentation: avoid stray backslashes in core tutorial
While at it:

 - remove some single-quotes that were being rendered as ’\n\';

 - do not escape ellipses (...) when they do not represent the
   literal three characters "...".  We may want to ensure the
   manpages render these as three ASCII periods to make the
   manual pages easier to search, but that would be a global
   output generation setting, not a context-specific thing;

e1906c4669 Documentation: remove stray backslash from "git bundle" manual
In v1.6.2.2~6^2~4 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes
and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22), backslashes were
introduced before ~ to avoid introducing unintentional
superscripts.  In one paragraph there is only one ~, though,
making that not a candidate for quoting, and asciidoc 8.5.8
passes the backslash through so the man page says "\~10..master".

Maybe there is an asciidoc behavior change involved.

In any case, we should replace tildes with a {tilde} entity which
means the same thing regardless of where it is found.

6dcca4d0ea Documentation/technical: avoid stray backslash in parse-options API docs
Due to some unpleasant interaction between the `quote', 'italics',
and `monospace` rules, a certain paragraph ends up rendered like so:

	‘short` is a character for the short option
	  (e.g. <tt>'e\’</tt> for <tt>-e</tt>, use <tt>0</tt> to omit),

Use the {apostrophe} to avoid this.

While at it, escape "->" strings: they are meant as a literal
two-character C operator, not a right-pointing arrow.

12378c0aa8 Documentation: remove backslashes in manpage synopses
For some reason, various manual pages have an asterisk escaped
with \ in the synopsis.  Since there is no other asterisk to pair it
with, Asciidoc does not consider this asterisk escapable, so it passes
the backslash through.

Each page either uses [verse] or has only one asterisk, so it
is safe to drop the backslashes (checked with asciidoc 8.5.2).

An asterisk in "Documentation/*.txt" quoted with \ to avoid bold text
is being output as \* because asciidoc does not consider it a

"Documentation/\*.txt" in the .gitignore file.

c300578f12 Documentation: clarify quoting in "git rm" example
Intended output:

	git rm Documentation/\*.txt
		Removes all *.txt files from the index that are under
		the Documentation directory and any of its
		subdirectories.

		Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in
		this example; this lets git, and not the shell, expand
		the pathnames of files and subdirectories under the
		Documentation/ directory.

Without this change, there are too many backslashes output.

3988da0636 Documentation: add missing quotes to "git grep" examples
Without an indication to the contrary, Asciidoc puts 'quoted
text' in italics, making the output look like this:

	git grep time_t -- *.[ch]
	    Looks for time_t in all tracked .c and .h
	    files in the working directory and its subdirectories.

	git grep -e '#define\' --and \( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)
	    Looks for a line that has #define and either MAX_PATH or
	    PATH_MAX.

In the first example, the *.[ch] argument needs to be protected from
the shell, or else it will only match files in the current directory.
The second example has a stray backslash.

I am not sure why, but the regular expression "(?:\^\{\})" gets

438ded457b Documentation: quoting trouble in "git rm" discussion
The current output (with Asciidoc 8.5.2) seems a bit broken:

	given two directories ‘d` and d2, there is a difference
	between using git rm 'd*’ and ‘git rm 'd/\*\’`, as the
	former will also remove all of directory d2.

In other words, the markup parses as

	given two directories << d` and _d2_, there is a difference
	between using _git rm 'd* >>_ and << git rm 'd/\*\ >> `.

I suspect there is an asciidoc bug involved (why is ' a candidate
closing-quote mark when it is preceded by a backslash?) but with
all the meanings of ` and ' involved I do not want to track it
down.  Better to use unambiguous {asterisk} and {apostrophe}
entities.

130ab8ab9c Eliminate “Finished cherry-pick/revert” message
When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.

Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification
is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).

 $ git cherry-pick ..topic
 Finished cherry-pick of 499088b.

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of
a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed.

With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where
the commit came from.  So drop the “Finished” message.

e6c111b4c0 unpack_trees: group error messages by type
When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
  (i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),

Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.

As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

cd035b1cef rebase -i: add exec command to launch a shell command
The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.

The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".

This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like

  exec >"file    name with many spaces"

in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the
whitespace layout.

be4f2b408e Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config setting
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check
for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time
by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous
(< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk
caches are constantly overloaded.

To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it
is per-submodule.

This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default
(porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the
default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore
setting and by the --ignore-submodules option.

Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic:
multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously
set flags.

While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore.

302ad7a993 Submodules: Use "ignore" settings from .gitmodules too for diff and status
The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries
before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config
will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer
to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream
set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

aee9c7d654 Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and status
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.

The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.

Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.

This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):

"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.

"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
	the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
	to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
	value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
	all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.

"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
	a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
	as modified.

"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
	submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
	and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
	as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
	"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
	so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

7610fa57e6 merge-recursive --renormalize
Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the
merge.renormalize configuration.  The --no-renormalize option can
be used to override it in the negative.

So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:

	git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch

or

	git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch

or

	git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize

The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands.  And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

73cf7f713d ll-merge: make flag easier to populate
ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few
advantages:

 - options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while
   an option struct passed by pointer cannot;

 - callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options,
   while an option struct passed by value would not allow that.

The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be
somewhat opaque.  Mitigate that with a few macros.

git-rebase calls out to merge strategies, but did not support merge
strategy options so far.  Add this, in the same style used in
git-merge.

Sadly we have to do the full quoting/eval dance here, since
merge-recursive supports the --subtree=<path> option which potentially
contains whitespace.

This patch does not cover git rebase -i, which does not call any merge
strategy directly except in --preserve-merges, and even then only for
merges.

3f8fc184c0 Documentation: flesh out “git pull” description
The current description in the pull man page does not say much more
than that “git pull” is fetch + merge.  Though that is all a person
needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about
what those commands do for new readers.

Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs.

Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge),
we can tone down the warning against that a bit.

Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people
might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that
it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that
their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet.  Or worse, verify that
their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but
then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5
is only in 1.7.0!).  So keep the warning.

With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented
example

  eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)"

the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary
whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed
into a single space.

This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since
47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval
consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling
arguments containing e.g. newlines.

Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the
example that did not have the quotes.

7f40ab0916 fast-export: Add a --full-tree option
This option adds symmetry with fast-import, enabling it to also work with
complete trees instead of just incremental changes.  It works by issuing a
'deleteall' directive with each commit and then listing the full set of
files that make up that commit, rather than just showing the list of files
that have changed since the (first) parent commit.  Note that this
functionality is automatically turned on when using --import-marks together
with path limiting in order to avoid dropping important but unchanged
files.

This functionality is desired when using hand-written filters along with
'fast-export | some-filter | fast-import' as it can be easier to write
<some-filter> in terms of complete trees than incremental changes.

We could avoid the need to add this option by simply always turning it on.
While the end result would be identical, it would slow things down slightly
by printing many more filenames per commit which goes somewhat against the
'fast' in 'fast-export'.

47dc5d5fda gitmodules.5: url can be a relative path
There is already excellent documentation for this facility in
git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable.

Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the
same repository over multiple protocols, for example.
Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.

4ded69169b Reorganize `git-log' man page to clarify common diff options.
This will reduce considerably the common confusion where people miss the
`--follow' option, and wonder why `-M'/`-C' is not working.

* Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add
  a "Common diff options" subtitle before them.  (These options apply
  only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among
  newbies, so having them first is confusing.)

* Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options.  The
  options before that seem less important: `--full-diff' applies only
  when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful
  with many common commit specifications.

* Clarify that `--follow' works only for a single path argument.

31991b0260 git submodule: add submodules with git add -f <path>
Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git
add --force'.

I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just
"*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree
already. When I do:

    git submodule add <url> hlagh

git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository
into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the
new path:

    The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
    hlagh
    Use -f if you really want to add them.
    fatal: no files added
    Failed to add submodule 'hlagh'

Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other
than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it.

That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly
saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead
it should just add the path with `git add --force'.

Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to
`git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll
get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it.

So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then
try again with the --force option.

That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think
of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out
`git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The
submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'.

f217f0e86d Avoid conflicts when merging branches with mixed normalization
Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is
painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files,
even if the only difference between the two versions is the line
endings.  Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are
obscured because every line in the file has a conflict.

Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF
checked in (A):

      o---C
     /     \
    A---B---D

B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to
   LF-only

C: Modify some of the text files

D: Try to merge C

You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to
merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the
new .gitattributes file.

Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed
through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way
merge.  This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same
way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to
normalization.

This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism
and is not necessary for the majority of users.  The "merge.renormalize"
config variable enables it.

46a958b3da Add the option "--ignore-submodules" to "git status"
In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.

Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before
1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for
submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users
having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option,
as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work
tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter.

And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that
by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config
option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the
output of the submodule summary).

A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this
option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already
knew it.

3cae7e5b2b send-email: ask about and declare 8bit mails
git-send-email passes on an 8bit mail as-is even if it does not
declare a content-type.  Because the user can edit email between
format-patch and send-email, such invalid mails are unfortunately not
very hard to come by.

Make git-send-email stop and ask about the encoding to use if it
encounters any such mail.  Also provide a configuration setting to
permanently configure an encoding.

6622d9c710 format-patch: Add a signature option (--signature)
By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.

This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.

74e42ce122 add-interactive: Clarify “remaining hunks in the file”
The "a" and "d" commands to ‘add --patch’ (accept/reject rest of file)
interact with "j", "g", and "/" (skip some hunks) in a perhaps
confusing way: after accepting or rejecting all _later_ hunks in the
file, they return to the earlier, skipped hunks and prompt the user
about them again.

This behavior can be very useful in practice.  One can still accept or
reject _all_ undecided hunks in a file by using the "g" command to
move to hunk #1 first.

678e484b7d grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'
This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the
pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern,
it also jumps to the first match right away.

The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's
options (as suggested by Junio).

So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)'
except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not
start the pager if there was no matching file.

f69c501832 rev-list: introduce --count option
Add a --count option that, instead of actually listing the commits,
merely counts them.

This is mostly geared towards script use, and to this end it acts
specially when used with --left-right: it outputs the left and right
counts separately.  Previously, scripts would have to run a shell loop
or small inline script over to achieve the same.  (Without
--left-right, a simple |wc -l does the job.)

dd44d419d3 Add optional parameters to the diff option "--ignore-submodules"
In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.

Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts
which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes
to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change
might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it
takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

track of their parents.  Unfortunately, in practice this means
that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some
commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is
rarely what the caller expected.

Yes, it would be nice to fix that.  But first, add a warning to the
manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

942e774767 Add "core.eol" config variable
Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user
to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the
working directory.  It defaults to "native", which means CRLF on Windows
and LF everywhere else.

Note that "core.autocrlf" overrides core.eol.  This means that

[core]
	autocrlf = true

puts CRLFs in the working directory even if core.eol is set to "lf".

f70d0586d6 Documentation/rev-list-options.txt: Fix missing line in example history graph
In the detailed explanation of how the revision machinery does history
simplification, the current text presents an example history and explains
how various options of the revision machinery affect the resulting list
of commits. The first simplification mode mentioned is the default mode,
in which a number of commits is omitted from the example graph according
to the history simplification rules. The text states (among other things)
that commit "C was considered via N, but is TREESAME", and therefore
omitted. However, the accompanying graph does not list the effect on the
implicit parentage, i.e. that commit I takes C's place as a parent of N.

Running 'git rev-list --parents P' does indeed list I as a second parent
of N, and the accompanying graph should therefore also show this line.

78646987e4 git-instaweb: Add support for running gitweb via 'plackup'
PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and
Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers
and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org

PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and
probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI).

Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI
standalone web server implementation.  'plackup' is a command line
launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web
app to a web server via Plack::Runner module.  By default it uses
HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server.

git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb).  This
wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI
script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI
standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner.

The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated
gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf).

To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled
Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile.  Those modules have to be
available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting
PERL5LIB environment variable).  This is currently not documented.

f030c96d86 git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
Add a $toplevel variable accessible to `git submodule foreach`, it
contains the absolute path of the top level directory (where
.gitmodules is).

This makes it possible to e.g. read data in .gitmodules from within
foreach commands. I'm using this to configure the branch names I want
to track for each submodule:

    git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

For a little history: This patch is borne out of my continuing fight
of trying to have Git track the branches of submodules, not just their
commits.

Obviously that's not how they work (they only track commits), but I'm
just interested in being able to do:

    git submodule foreach 'git pull'

Of course that won't work because the submodule is in a disconnected
head, so I first have to connect it, but connect it *to what*.

For a while I was happy with this because as fate had it, it just so
happened to do what I meant:

    git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git describe --all --always) && git pull'

But then that broke down, if there's a tag and a branch the tag will
win out, and I can't git pull a branch:

    $ git branch -a
    * master
      remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
      remotes/origin/master
    $ git tag -l
    release-0.0.6
    $ git describe --always --all
    release-0.0.6

So I figured that I might as well start tracking the branches I want
in .gitmodules itself:

    [submodule "yaml-mode"]
        path = yaml-mode
        url = git://github.com/yoshiki/yaml-mode.git
        branch = master

So now I can just do (as stated above):

    git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

Maybe there's a less painful way to do *that* (I'd love to hear about
it). But regardless of that I think it's a good idea to be able to
know what the top-level is from git submodule foreach.

Add a new setting for "crlf": "auto", which enables end-of-line
conversion but does not override the automatic text file detection.

Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf".  When
set, this attribute enables normalization and forces git to use CRLF or
LF line endings in the working directory, respectively.

The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the
working directory is set using "core.autocrlf".  When it is set to
"true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or
"false", LFs are used.

8d6888ec6a Documentation/notes: describe content of notes blobs
stripspace/text-based formatting kicks in when specifying the notes
content with -m or -F, or when an editor is used to edit the notes.
To binary-safely create notes from files, the following construct is
required:

    git notes add -C $(git hash-object -w <file>) <object>

example, too, to keep this esoteric one company.

stdin if and only if stdin is not a tty.  So scripts that need to
function identically when standard input is a terminal (as when run

supply a log themselves or specify the desired revisions explicitly.

8028184eec pretty: add aliases for pretty formats
previously the only ways to alias a --pretty format within git were
either to set the format as your default format (via the format.pretty
configuration variable), or by using a regular git alias. This left the
definition of more complicated formats to the realm of "builtin or
nothing", with user-defined formats usually being reserved for quick
one-offs.

Here we allow user-defined formats to enjoy more or less the same
benefits of builtins. By defining pretty.myalias, "myalias" can be
used in place of whatever would normally come after --pretty=. This
can be a format:, tformat:, raw (ie, defaulting to tformat), or the name
of another builtin or user-defined pretty format.

c308b9c25d documentation: clarify direction of core.autocrlf
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to
"the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which
technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other
mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS)..").

Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term
"work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in
the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which
makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters
occurs in.

fff0d0abdd Document new "already-merged" rule for branch -d
v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the
branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic
for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue.  It
is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if:

 - the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking,
   usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or

 - there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is
   fully merged in the current HEAD.

882749a04f diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-words
This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:

* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
  'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}

* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
  format:
  - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
    in unified diff
  - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
    tilde '~'

Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences.  --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format.  Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

69cf7bfd13 send-email: Cleanup smtp-domain and add config
The way the code stored --smtp-domain was unlike its handling of other
similar options.  Bring it in line with the others by:

- Renaming $mail_domain to $smtp_domain to match the command line
  option. Also move its declaration from near the top of the file to
  near other option variables.

- Removing $mail_domain_default.  The variable was used once and only
  served to move the default away from where it gets used.

- Adding a sendemail.smtpdomain config option.  smtp-domain was the
  only SMTP configuration option that couldn't be set in the user's
  .gitconfig.

e3163c7515 fetch/push: fix usage strings
- use "<options>" instead of just "options".
 - use "[<repository> [<refspec>...]]" to indicate that <repository> and
   <refspec> are optional, and that <refspec> cannot be specified
   without specifying <repository>.

Note that when called without specifying <repository> (eg. "git fetch
-f"), it is accurate to say that the "git fetch [<options>]
[<repository> ...]" case takes precedence over "git fetch [<options>]
<group>".

df5753c4f6 SubmittingPatches: update GMail section
Even if you use imap-send to throw your drafts in the outbox, using their
web interface will mangle your patches.  Clarify that the imap-send is
meant to be used together with a real MUA that can use IMAP drafts, and
remove instructions related to the web interface, which is irrelevant.

Add description of send-email as an alternative.

Use --cover-letter, and do not use -C nor --no-color, on the example
command line for format-patch.

c9b5fde759 Add option to git-commit to allow empty log messages
Change git-commit(1) to accept the --allow-empty-message option
to allow a commit with an empty message.  This is analogous to the
existing --allow-empty option which allows a commit that records
no changes.  As these are mainly for interoperating with foreign SCM
systems, and are not meant for normal use, ensure that "git commit -h"
does not talk about them.

cf87463e79 Rename ONE_FILESYSTEM to DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.

Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

e640551773 GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundaries
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:

    I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
    multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
    seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
    having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
    no?

The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2).  This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem".  Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)

This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src.  But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

d9bae1a178 diff: cache textconv output
Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's
particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled
to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead
can add up for something like "git log -p".

This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast
cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in
refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver
defined in gitattributes.

Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true.

In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files
changed and a textconv to show their exif tags:

  [before]
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m13.724s
  user    0m12.057s
  sys     0m1.624s

  [after, first run]
  $ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m14.252s
  user    0m12.197s
  sys     0m1.800s

  [after, subsequent runs]
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m0.352s
  user    0m0.148s
  sys     0m0.200s

So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an
almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.
