66b2ed09c2 Fix "log" family not to be too agressive about showing notes
Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.

Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.

Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

b09fe971de rev-parse --branches/--tags/--remotes=pattern
Since local branch, tags and remote tracking branch namespaces are
most often used, add shortcut notations for globbing those in
manner similar to --glob option.

With this, one can express the "what I have but origin doesn't?"
as:

'git log --branches --not --remotes=origin'

b706fcfe93 commit: allow suppression of implicit identity advice
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity
was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos
information, in case it is not correct. Most users will
suppress this by simply setting up their information
correctly.

However, there may be some users who consciously want to use
that information, because having the value change from host
to host contains useful information. These users can now set
advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message.

0a0416a34a strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user
format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly
unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single
"%", as that is what printf format specifiers do.

This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand():

 (1) git-daemon interpolated paths

 (2) pretty-print user formats

 (3) merge driver command lines

Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of
strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch.
Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing
behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

This allows you to run, for example,

d38a30df7d Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.

A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

2e294cf23b Documentation: git gc packs refs by default now
In commit 56752391 (Make "git gc" pack all refs by default,
2007-05-24), 'git gc' was changed to run pack-refs by default

Versions before v1.5.1.2 cannot clone repos with packed refs over
http, and versions before v1.4.4 cannot handled packed refs at
all, but more recent git should have no problems.  Try to make
this more clear in the git-config manual.

The analagous passage in git-gc.txt was updated already with
commit fe2128a (Change git-gc documentation to reflect
gc.packrefs implementation., 2008-01-09).

0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

e11d7b5969 "reset --merge": fix unmerged case
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries.  But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used.  This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.

The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.

Fix it by doing three things:

 - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
   better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
   any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
   HEAD records";

 - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
   while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
   the object name from the higher stage entry.  The code used to take the
   object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
   stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
   that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.

   The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
   index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
   corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
   when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path.  In order to
   differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
   added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.

 - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
   cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED.  They are previously unmerged
   entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
   resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
   resetting to.

d0f379c2dc reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree"
This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly
instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more
efficient.

And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used,
as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing
which is quite complex.

As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new
version and the old one. The old version gives an error for
"git reset --merge" with unmerged entries, and the new version does
not when we reset the entries to some states that differ from HEAD.
Instead, it resets the index entry and succeeds, while leaving the
conflict markers in the corresponding file in the work tree (which
will be corrected by the next patch).

The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project:

git://repo.or.cz/git/sbeyer.git

(at commit 5a78908b70ceb5a4ea9fd4b82f07ceba1f019079)

03bd0d601e CVS Server: Support reading base and roots from environment
The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands
through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is
authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for
upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through
git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed
through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks
sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained.

Despite that, passing a repository root is necessary for per-user
access control by the hosting software, and passing a base path
improves usability without weakening security. Thus, git-cvsserver
needs to come up with these values at runtime by some other
means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other purposes,
the environment can carry these arguments as well.

Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOT} in
the absence of equivalent command line arguments.

to make it clear that 'git add' is able to delete and to also cover the -p
option.

bc3c79aefc fast-import: add (non-)relative-marks feature
After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.

In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.

Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.

Also add tests to verify this behavior.

no non-option command has been encountered.

59a0a0bd57 Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparam
Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output.  Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.

When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.

Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line.  Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.

If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:

    $ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

73eb40eeaa git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
Sometimes people want their conflicting merges autoresolved by
favouring upstream changes.  The standard answer they are given is
to run "git diff --name-only | xargs git checkout MERGE_HEAD --" in
such a case.  This is to accept automerge results for the paths that
are fully resolved automatically, while taking their version of the
file in full for paths that have conflicts.

This is problematic on two counts.

One is that this is not exactly what these people want.  It discards
all changes they did on their branch for any paths that conflicted.
They usually want to salvage as much automerge result as possible in
a conflicted file, and want to take the upstream change only in the
conflicted part.

This patch teaches two new modes of operation to the lowest-lever
merge machinery, xdl_merge().  Instead of leaving the conflicted
lines from both sides enclosed in <<<, ===, and >>> markers, the
conflicts are resolved favouring our side or their side of changes.

A larger problem is that this tends to encourage a bad workflow by
allowing people to record such a mixed up half-merged result as a
full commit without auditing.  This commit does not tackle this
issue at all.  In git, we usually give long enough rope to users
with strange wishes as long as the risky features are not enabled by
default, and this is such a risky feature.

b8ac923010 Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic
This adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with
the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl
to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which
sends the password in plaintext).

When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time,
in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which
lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default.

One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which
doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response
mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires
at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier
versions of curl.

5d166ccb89 t1200: fix a timing dependent error
The fourth test of show-branch in t1200 test was failing but only
sometimes. It only failed when two commits created in an earlier
test had different timestamps. When they were created within the

Fix this by using test_tick to force reliable timestamps and update
the expected output so it does not to depend on the commits made in
the same sacond.

af06e93a3e Documentation: update descriptions of revision options related to '--bisect'
In commit ad3f9a7 (Add '--bisect' revision machinery argument) the
'--bisect' option was added to easily pass bisection refs to commands
using the revision machinery.

This patch updates the documentation of the related options to describe
the new behavior.

4f36627518 pack-objects: split implications of --all-progress from progress activation
Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display
during the writing object phase even if output goes to stdout which is
primarily the case during a push operation.  This has the unfortunate
side effect of forcing progress display even if stderr is not a
terminal.

Let's introduce the --all-progress-implied argument which has the same
intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress
display.  With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited
whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be
included otherwise.  This should let people use 'git push' within a cron
job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

5c931c8da2 Fix over-simplified documentation for 'git log -z'
In commit 64485b4a, the documentation for 'git log -z' was
simplified too much. The -z option actually changes the behavior
of 'git log' in two ways: commits will be ended with a NUL
instead of a LF (correctly documented) and the --raw and
--numstat will have NUL as field terminators (omitted in
the documentation for 'git log').

73a1d050c4 User Manual: Write "Git" instead of "GIT"
In the Table of Contents, there is a notable inconsistency:
first there is "GIT Glossary", followed by "Git Quick Reference"
on the very next line.

Running "grep -c" on user-manual.txt, I find 780 occurrrences of
"git", 37 occurrences of "Git", and 9 occurrences of "GIT".
In general, "git" is the preferred spelling, except at the
beginning of a sentence.

Therefore, change "GIT Glossary" to "Git Glossary" for consistency
with the rest of the document.

Looking at the other eight occurrences of "GIT" I found one other
occurrence that should be changed:

* The mention of "StGIT". Looking at the web pages for "Stacked Git"
  at http://www.procode.org/stgit, I only saw the spelling "StGit",
  except in http://wiki.procode.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/StGIT_Tutorial,
  but that page was last updated in 2006.

The other seven occurrences should not be changed:

* Three occurrences were in the output of 'git show-branch' run
  on the git.git repository.

* One occurrence was in the output of 'git cat-file'.

* One occurrence was as part of the file name "GIT-VERSION-GEN".

* Two occurrences were in comments in scripts quoted in a description
  of Tony Luck's workflow.

38a39647b4 apply: apply works outside a repository
The documentation for 'git apply' talks about applying a
patch/diff to the index and to the working tree, which seems
to imply that it will not work outside a git repository.

Actually 'git patch' works outside a repository (which can
be useful especially for applying binary or rename patches that
the standard "patch" utility cannot handle), so the documentation
should mention it.

Thanks to Junio for suggesting better wording.

64485b4aba Clarify and correct -z
The description for -z is too vague and general for the
apply, diff*, and log commands.

Change the description of -z for 'git log' to note that
commits will be separated by NULs.

Change the description of -z for 'git diff*' and 'git apply'
to note that it applies to the --numstat option, and for
'git diff*' also for --raw option.

Also correct the description of the "munging" of pathanmes that
takes place in the absence of -z for the 'git diff*' and
'git apply' commands, namely that apart from the characters mentioned,
double quotes will also be escaped and that the pathname will be
enclosed in double quotes if any characters are escaped.
