df2a79f422 expand_user_path: expand ~ to $HOME, not to the actual homedir.
In 395de250d (Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template),
we introduced the mechanism. But expanding ~ using getpw is not what
people overriding $HOME would usually expect. In particular, git looks
for the user's .gitconfig using $HOME, so it's better to be consistent.

c578f51d52 Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

de1a2fdd38 Smart push over HTTP: client side
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts.  This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.

For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image).  The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.

For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

a97a74686d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS
- Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return

1c2eafb89b Add url.<base>.pushInsteadOf: URL rewriting for push only
This configuration option allows systematically rewriting fetch-only URLs
to push-capable URLs when used with push.  For instance:

[url "ssh://example.org/"]
    pushInsteadOf = "git://example.org/"

This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently
push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.

Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and
test cases (both that pushInsteadOf applies to push, that it does not
apply to fetch, and that it is ignored when pushURL is already defined).

aeb84b05ae core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}
People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.

This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof.  This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

77b15bbd88 apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.

The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes.  The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors.  It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.

Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix.  Or you could call it a new feature.  The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.

Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have.  People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

5749b0b2f9 don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository.  However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt.  So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

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().

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

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.

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.

879ef2485d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.
