We currently point the HEAD of a newly cloned repo to the
same ref as the parent repo's HEAD. While a user can then
"git checkout -b foo origin/foo" whichever branch they
choose, it is more convenient and more efficient to tell
clone which branch you want in the first place.
Based on a patch by Kirill A. Korinskiy.

git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Minor improvement to the write-tree documentation
git-bisect: call the found commit "*the* first bad commit"
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.
This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

When checkout sees that HEAD points to a non-existent ref,
it currently acts as if "-f" was given; this behavior dates
back to 5a03e7f, which enabled checkout from unborn branches
in the shell version of "git-checkout". The reasoning given
is to avoid the code path which tries to merge the tree
contents. When checkout was converted to C, this code
remained intact.
The unfortunate side effect of this strategy is that the
"force" code path will overwrite working tree and index
state that may be precious to the user. Instead of enabling
"force", this patch uses the normal "merge" codepath for an
unborn branch, but substitutes the empty tree for the "old"
commit.
This means that in the absence of an index, any files in the
working tree will be treated as untracked files, and a
checkout which would overwrite them is aborted. Similarly,
any paths in the index will be merged with an empty entry
as the base, meaning that unless the new branch's content is
identical to what's in the index, there will be a conflict
and the checkout will be aborted.
The user is then free to correct the situation or proceed
with "-f" as appropriate.
This patch also removes the "warning: you are on a branch
yet to be born" message. Its function was to warn the user
that we were enabling the "-f" option. Since we are no
longer doing that, there is no reason for the user to care
whether we are switching away from an unborn branch.

If all refs sent by the remote repo during a fetch are reachable
locally, then no further conversation is performed with the remote. This
check is skipped when the --depth argument is provided to allow the
deepening of a shallow clone which corresponding remote repo has no
changed.
However, some additional filtering was added in commit c29727d5 to
remove those refs which are equal on both sides. If the remote repo has
not changed, then the list of refs to give the remote process becomes
empty and simply attempting to deepen a shallow repo always fails.
Let's stop being smart in that case and simply send the whole list over
when that condition is met. The remote will do the right thing anyways.
Test cases for this issue are also provided.

Since 4afbaef (gitweb: ref markers link to named shortlogs, 2008-09-02),
ref markers that accompany the subject in views such as shortlog and
history point to something different from the subject itself. Therefore,
they should not be included in the same <a> element.
Benefits of the change are:
* better compliance to the XHTML standards, that forbid links within
links even though the restriction cannot be imposed via DTD; this also
benefits visualization in some older browsers;
* when hovering the subject, only the subject itself is underlined; when
hovering the ref markers, only the text in the hovered ref marker is
underlined; previously, hovering any written part of the subject column
led to complete underlying of everything at the same time, with
unpleasing effects.

Thell Fowler noticed that various "ignore whitespace" options to git diff
do not work well on an incomplete line.
The loop control of the function responsible for these bugs was extremely
difficult to follow. This patch restructures the loops for three variants
of "ignore whitespace" logic.
The basic idea of the re-written logic is:
- A loop runs while the characters from both strings we are looking at
match. We declare unmatch immediately when we find something that does
not match and return false from the function. We break out of the loop
if we ran out of either side of the string.
The way we skip spaces inside this loop varies depending on the style
of ignoring whitespaces.
- After the above loop breaks, we know that the parts of the strings we
inspected so far match, ignoring the whitespaces. The lines can match
only if the remainder consists of nothing but whitespaces. This part
of the logic is shared across all three styles.
The new code is more obvious and should be much easier to follow.

Upon seeing a whitespace, xdl_hash_record_with_whitespace() first skipped
the run of whitespaces (excluding LF) that begins there, ensuring that the
pointer points at the last whitespace character in the run, and assumed
that the next character must be LF at the end of the line. This does not
work when hashing an incomplete line, which lacks the LF at the end.
Introduce "at_eol" variable that is true when either we are at the end of
line (looking at LF) or at the end of an incomplete line, and use that
instead throughout the code.
Noticed by Thell Fowler.

The previous patch to improve approxidate got us to the point that a lot
of the remaining annoyances were due to the 'strict' date handling running
first, and deciding that it got a good enough date that the approximate
date routines were never even invoked.
For example, using a date string like
6AM, June 7, 2009
the strict date logic would be perfectly happy with the "June 7, 2009"
part, and ignore the 6AM part that it didn't understand - resulting in the
information getting dropped on the floor:
6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sat Jun 6 00:00:00 2009
and the date being calculated as if it was midnight, and the '6AM' having
confused the date routines into thinking about '6 June' rather than 'June
7' at 6AM (ie notice how the _day_ was wrong due to this, not just the
time).
So this makes the strict date routines a bit stricter, and requires that
not just the date, but also the time, has actually been parsed. With that
fix, and trivial extension of the approxidate routines, git now properly
parses the date as
6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sun Jun 7 06:00:00 2009
without dropping the fuzzy time ("6AM" or "noon" or any of the other
non-strict time formats) on the floor.

This is not a new failure mode - approxidate has always been kind of
random in the input it accepts, but some of the randomness is more
irritating than others.
For example:
Jun 6, 5AM -> Mon Jun 22 05:00:00 2009
5AM Jun 6 -> Sat Jun 6 05:00:00 2009
Whaa? The reason for the above is that approxidate squirrells away the '6'
from "Jun 6" to see if it's going to be a relative number, and then
forgets about it when it sees a new number (the '5' in '5AM'). So the odd
"June 22" date is because today is July 22nd, and if it doesn't have
another day of the month, it will just pick todays mday - having ignored
the '6' entirely due to getting all excited about seeing a new number (5).
There are other oddnesses. This does not fix them all, but I think it
makes for fewer _really_ perplexing cases. At least now we have
Jun 6, 5AM -> Sat Jun 6 05:00:00 2009
5AM, Jun 6 -> Sat Jun 6 05:00:00 2009
which makes me happier. I can still point to cases that don't work as
well, but those are separate issues.

Previously, graph_is_interesting() did not behave quite the same way as
the code in get_revision(). As a result, it would sometimes think
commits were uninteresting, even though get_revision() would return
them. This resulted in incorrect lines in the graph output.
This change creates a get_commit_action() function, which
graph_is_interesting() and simplify_commit() both now use to determine
if a commit will be shown. It is identical to the old simplify_commit()
behavior, except that it never calls rewrite_parents().
This problem was reported by Santi Béjar. The following command
would exhibit the problem before, but now works correctly:
git log --graph --simplify-by-decoration --oneline v1.6.3.3
Previously git graph did not display the output for this command
correctly between f29ac4f and 66996ec, among other places.

Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out
in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for
developers on such projects is:
git clone url/to/project
cd project
git submodule update --init (--recursive)
This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new
option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all
submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence
can be reduced to:
git clone --recursive url/to/project
--recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone.
