The 'merge' manual suggests 'reset' to cancel a merge at the end
of the Merge Strategies list. It is more logical to explain this
right before explaining how merge conflicts work, so the daunted
reader can have a way out when he or she needs it most.
While at it, make the advice more dependable and self-contained
by providing the --merge option.

The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce)
means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know
there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody
should have to double check. Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not
mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is
clean.
There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among
them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return
value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the
work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its
HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of
the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered
clean).
A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD
matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent
people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the
superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the
state in the superproject. However, the patch to do so didn't update
the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated
definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the
return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules."
This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule
entries up-to-date.
The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to
cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty",
call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new
bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but
that can be a separate patch.

There is no point doing self-assignments of these variables. Instead,
just export them to the environment, but do so in a sub-shell, because
VAR1=VAL1 VAR2=VAL2 ... command arg1 arg2...
does not mark the variables exported if command that is run
is a shell function, according to POSIX.1.
The callers of do_with_author do not rely on seeing the effect of any
shell variable assignments that may happen inside what was called through
this shell function (currently "output" is the only one), so running it in
the subshell doesn't have an adverse semantic effect.

Rather than juggling with the env var GIT_DIR around the invocation of
gitk, set it and GIT_WORK_TREE after finishing setup, ensuring that any
external tool works with the setup we're running with.
This also allows us to remove a couple of conditionals when running gitk
or git gui in a submodule, as we know that the variables are present and
have to be unset and reset before and after the invocation.

Refactor checking for a bare repository into its own proc, that relies
on git rev-parse --is-bare-repository if possible. For older versions of
git we fall back to a logic such that the repository is considered bare
if:
* either the core.bare setting is true
* or the worktree is not set and the directory name ends with .git
The error message for the case of an unhandled bare repository is also
updated to reflect the fact that the problem is not the funny name but
the bareness.
The new refactored proc is also used to disable the menu entry to
explore the working copy, and to skip changing to the worktree before
the gitk invocation.

Don't rely on the git worktree being the updir of the gitdir, since it
might not be. Instead, define (and use) a new _gitworktree global
variable, setting it to $GIT_WORK_TREE if present, falling back to
core.worktree if defined, and finally to whatever we guess the correct
worktree is. Getting core.worktree requires the config from the alleged
git dir _gitdir to be loaded early.
Supporting non-standard worktree locations also breaks the git-gui
assumption (made when calling gitk) that the worktree was the dirname of
$_gitdir and that, by consequence, the git dir could be set to the tail
of $_gitdir once we changed to the worktree root directory. Therefore,
we need to export a GIT_DIR environment variable set to the full,
normalized path of $_gitdir instead. We also skip changing to the worktree
directory if it's empty (i.e. if we're working on a bare repository).

To make it easier for users to deal with submodules, a special diff
popup menu has been added for submodules. The "Show Less Context"
and "Show More Context" entries have been removed, as they don't make
any sense for a submodule summary. Four new entries are added to the
top of the popup menu to gain access to more detailed information
about the changes in a submodule than the plain summary does offer.
These are:
- "Visualize These Changes In The Submodule"
starts gitk showing the selected commit range
- "Visualize These Changes In The Submodule"
starts gitk showing the whole submodule history of the current branch
- "Visualize All Branch History In The Submodule"
starts gitk --all in the submodule
- "Start git gui In The Submodule"
guess what :-)

When unstaging a partly staged file or submodule, the file_states
list was not updated properly (unless unstaged linewise). Its
index_info part did not contain the former head_info as it should
have but kept its old value.
This seems not to have had any bad effects but diminishes the value
of the file_states list for future enhancements.

When trying to run gitk on a branch name whose name matches a local
file, it will toss an error saying that the name is ambiguous. Adding
a pair of dashes will make gitk parse the options to the left of
it as branch names. Since wish eats the first pair of dashes we
throw at it, we need to add a second one to ensure they get through.

When the number of recent repo's gets to ten there can be a
situation where an item is removed from the .gitconfig file via
a call to git config --unset, but the internal representation of
that file (repo_config(gui.recentrepo)) is not updated. Then a
subsequent attempt to remove an item from the list fails because
git-gui attempts to call --unset on a value that has already
been removed. This leads to duplicates in the .gitconfig file,
which then also cause errors if the git-gui tries to --unset them
(rather than using --unset-all. --unset-all is not used because it
is not expected that duplicates should ever be allowed to exist.)
When loading the list of recent repositories (proc _get_recentrepos)
if a repo in the list is not considered a valid git reposoitory
then we should go ahead and remove it so it doesn't take up a slot
in the list (since we limit to 10 items). This will prevent a bunch
of invalid entries in the list (which are not shown) from making
valid entries dissapear off the list even when there are less than
ten valid entries.

As reported to msysGit (bug #340) it is possible to get some very

In certain situations it may be necessary to manually remap an svn
repostitory UUID. For example:
o--- [git-svn clone]
/
[origin svn repo]
\
o--- [svnsync clone]
Imagine that only "git-svn clone" and "svnsync clone" are made available
to external users. Furthur, "git-svn clone" contains only trunk, and for
reasons unknown, "svnsync clone" is missing the revision properties that
normally provide the origin svn repo's UUID.
A git user who has cloned the "git-svn clone" repo now wishes to use
git-svn to pull in the missing branches from the "synsync clone" repo.
In order for git-svn to get the history correct for those branches,
it needs to know the origin svn repo's UUID. Hence rewriteUUID.

F---G branch1

D tag1 \ E tag2

A---B C trunk

Having recently added support for building git-imap-send on
Windows, we now link against OpenSSL libraries, and the linker
issues the following warning:
warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/lssl'; ignored
In order to suppress the warning, we change the msvc linker
script to translate an '-lssl' parameter to the ssleay32.lib
library.
Note that the linker script was already including ssleay32.lib
(along with libeay32.lib) as part of the translation of the
'-lcrypto' library parameter. However, libeay32.dll does not
depend on ssleay32.dll and can be used stand-alone, so we remove
ssleay32.lib from the '-lcrypto' translation.
The dependence of ssleay32.dll on libeay32.dll is represented in
the Makefile by the NEEDS_CRYPTO_WITH_SSL build variable.
Also, add the corresponding change to the buildsystem generator.

The function takes two paths, an early part of abs is supposed to match
base; otherwise abs is not a path under base and the function returns the
full path of abs. The caller can easily confuse the implementation by
giving duplicated and needless slashes in these path arguments.

often the function is implemented to return a pointer to a static
