The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.
If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:
$ git upload-pack . | :
fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'
In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.
With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:
$ git upload-pack . | :
error: git-upload-pack died of signal
Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)
There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:
- failures of system calls;
- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.
Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.
Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.
This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.

For some reason, MinGW's bash cannot reliably detect failure of the child
process if a negative value is passed to exit(). This fixes it by
truncating the exit code in all calls of exit().
This issue was worked around in run_builtin() of git.c (2488df84 builtin
run_command: do not exit with -1, 2007-11-15). This workaround is no longer
necessary and is reverted.

Factor out pre context line handling into the new function
show_pre_context() and change the algorithm to rewind by looking for
newline characters and roll forward again, instead of maintaining an
array of line beginnings and ends.
This is slower for hits, but the cost for non-matching lines becomes
zero. Normally, there are far more non-matching lines, so the time
spent in total decreases.

When creating a new argv array from a configured alias and the supplied
command line arguments, the new argv was allocated with one element too
many. Since the first element of the original argv array is skipped when
copying it to the new_argv, the number of elements that are allocated
should be reduced by one. 'count' is the number of elements that new_argv
contains, and *argcp is the number of elements in the original argv array.
So the total allocation (including the terminating NULL entry) for the
new_argv array should be:
count + (*argcp - 1) + 1
Also, the explicit assignment of the NULL terminating entry can be avoided
by just copying it over from the original argv array.

The following invocations did not work as expected on Windows:
git mv foo\bar dest
git mv foo\ dest
The first command was interpreted as
git mv foo/bar dest/foo/bar
because the Windows style directory separator was not obeyed when the
basename of 'foo\bar' was computed.
The second command failed because the Windows style directory separator was
not removed from the source directory, whereupon the lookup of the
directory in the index failed.
This fixes both issues by using is_dir_sep() and basename().

I do various statistics on git, and one of the things I look at is merges,
because they are often interesting events to count ("how many merges vs
how much 'real development'" kind of statistics). And you can do it with
some fairly straightforward scripting, ie
git rev-list --parents HEAD |
grep ' .* ' |
git diff-tree --always -s --pretty=oneline --stdin |
less -S
will do it.
But I finally got irritated with the fact that we can skip merges with
'--no-merges', but we can't do the trivial reverse operation.
So this just adds a '--merges' flag that _only_ shows merges. Now you can
do the above with just a
git log --merges --pretty=oneline
which is a lot simpler. It also means that we automatically get a lot of
statistics for free, eg
git shortlog -ns --merges
does exactly what you'd want it to do.

Cleanup the documentation to explicitly state that --exclude-directory

consistent with the usage message printed with read-tree --help-all.
The -m, --prefix, --reset options are performing similar actions
(setting some flags, read_cache_unmerged(), checking for illegal option
combinations). Instead of performing these actions when the options are
parsed, we delay performing them until after parse-opts has finished.

When providing a list of paths to limit what is exported, the object that
a tag points to can be filtered out entirely. This new switch allows
the user to specify what should happen to the tag in such a case. The
default action, 'abort' will exit with an error message. With 'drop', the
tag will simply be omitted from the output. With 'rewrite', if the object
tagged was a commit, the tag will be modified to tag an alternate commit.
The alternate commit is determined by treating the original commit as the
"parent" of the tag and then using the parent rewriting algorithm of the
revision traversal machinery (related to the "--parents" option of "git

The code expects a ref name to be provided in commit->util. While there
was some code to set commit->util, it only worked in cases where there was
an unbroken chain of revisions from a ref to the relevant commit. In
cases such as running
git fast-export --parents master -- COPYING
commit->util would fail to be set. The old method of setting commit->util
has been removed in favor of requesting show_source from the revision
traversal machinery (related to the "--source" option of "git log" family
of commands.)
However, this change does not fix cases like
git fast export master~1
or
git fast export :/arguments
since in such cases commit->util will be "master~1" or ":/arguments" while
we need the actual ref (e.g. "refs/heads/master")
