f2dc849e9c Add 'git fast-export', the sister of 'git fast-import'
This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.

For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.

Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip.  The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.

2ecb5ea2ad Move convert-objects to contrib.
convert-objects was needed to convert from an old-style repository,
which hashed the compressed contents and used a different date format.
Such repositories are presumably no longer common and, if such
conversions are necessary, should be done by writing a frontend for
git-fast-import.

Linus, the original author, is OK with moving it to contrib.

f2c66ed196 Add git-stash script
When my boss has something to show me and I have to update, for some
reason I am always in the middle of doing something else, and git pull
command refuses to work in such a case.

I wrote this little script to save the changes I made, perform the
update, and then come back to where I was, but on top of the updated
commit.

This is how you would use the script:

  $ git stash
  $ git pull
  $ git stash apply

e36cb1c16d Makefile: add an explicit rule for building assembly output
In the kernel we have a rule for *.c -> *.s files exactly because
it's nice to be able to easily say "ok, what does that generate".

Here's a patch to add such a rule to git too, in case anybody is
interested. It makes it much simpler to just do

	make sha1_file.s

and look at the compiler-generated output that way, rather than having to
fire up gdb on the resulting binary.

(Add -fverbose-asm or something if you want to, it can make the result
even more readable)

70c7ac22de Add git-submodule command
This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.

Example .gitmodules layout:

[module "git"]
	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".

Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.

Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.

d45cc6e267 git-applymbox: Remove command
I believe noone uses git-applymbox, and noone definitely should, since it
is supposed to be completely superseded and everything by its younger
cousin git-am. The only known person in the universe to use it was Linus
and he declared some time ago that he will try to use git-am instead in his
famous dotest script.

The trouble is that git-applymbox existence creates confusing UI. I'm a bit
like a recycled newbie to the git porcelain and *I* was confused by
git-applymbox primitiveness until I've realized a while later that I'm of
course using the wrong command.

d0bfd026a8 Add basic infrastructure to assign attributes to paths
This adds the basic infrastructure to assign attributes to
paths, in a way similar to what the exclusion mechanism does
based on $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and .gitignore files.

An attribute is just a simple string that does not contain any
whitespace.  They can be specified in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes
file, and .gitattributes file in each directory.

Each line in these files defines a pattern matching rule.
Similar to the exclusion mechanism, a later match overrides an
earlier match in the same file, and entries from .gitattributes
file in the same directory takes precedence over the ones from
parent directories.  Lines in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes file are
used as the lowest precedence default rules.

A line is either a comment (an empty line, or a line that begins
with a '#'), or a rule, which is a whitespace separated list of
tokens.  The first token on the line is a shell glob pattern.
The rest are names of attributes, each of which can optionally
be prefixed with '!'.  Such a line means "if a path matches this
glob, this attribute is set (or unset -- if the attribute name
is prefixed with '!').  For glob matching, the same "if the
pattern does not have a slash in it, the basename of the path is
matched with fnmatch(3) against the pattern, otherwise, the path
is matched with the pattern with FNM_PATHNAME" rule as the
exclusion mechanism is used.

This does not define what an attribute means.  Tying an
attribute to various effects it has on git operation for paths
that have it will be specified separately.

2dca1af448 simple random data generator for tests
Reliance on /dev/urandom produces test vectors that are, well, random.
This can cause problems impossible to track down when the data is

convenient way to create sets of large files with non compressible and
non deltifiable data in a reproducible way.

68faf68938 A new merge stragety 'subtree'.
This merge strategy largely piggy-backs on git-merge-recursive.
When merging trees A and B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A,
B is first adjusted to match the tree structure of A, instead of
reading the trees at the same level.  This adjustment is also
done to the common ancestor tree.

If you are pulling updates from git-gui repository into git.git
repository, the root level of the former corresponds to git-gui/
subdirectory of the latter.  The tree object of git-gui's toplevel
is wrapped in a fake tree object, whose sole entry has name 'git-gui'
and records object name of the true tree, before being used by
the 3-way merge code.

If you are merging the other way, only the git-gui/ subtree of
git.git is extracted and merged into git-gui's toplevel.

The detection of corresponding subtree is done by comparing the
pathnames and types in the toplevel of the tree.

Heuristics galore!  That's the git way ;-).

2e0afafebd Add git-bundle: move objects and references by archive
Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.

git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.

The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.

It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

1fcdd62adf Merge branch 'master' into sp/fast-import
I'm bringing master in early so that the OBJ_OFS_DELTA implementation
is available as part of the topic.  This way git-fast-import can
learn about this new slightly smaller and faster packfile format,
and can generate them directly rather than needing to have them be
repacked with git-pack-objects.

Due to the API changes in master during the period of development
of git-fast-import, a few minor tweaks to fast-import.c are needed
to produce a working merge.  I've done them here as part of the
merge to ensure bisection always works.

30f610b7b0 Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations.
Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a
regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as:

 * pack-refs --prune
 * reflog expire
 * repack -a -d
 * prune
 * rerere gc

So here is a command which does exactly that.  The parameters fed
to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting
configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may
want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't
be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

A script to be driven when the user says "git add --interactive"
is introduced.

When it is run, first it runs its internal 'status' command to
show the current status, and then goes into its internactive
command loop.

The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and
gives a prompt "What now> ".  In general, when the prompt ends
with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given
and type return, like this:

    *** Commands ***
      1: status       2: update       3: revert       4: add untracked
      5: patch        6: diff         7: quit         8: help
    What now> 1

You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the
choice is unique.

The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit).

 * 'status' shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what
   will be committed if you say "git commit"), and between index
   and working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further
   before "git commit" using "git-add") for each path.  A sample
   output looks like this:

              staged     unstaged path
     1:       binary      nothing foo.png
     2:     +403/-35        +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl

   It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is
   binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no
   difference between indexed copy and the working tree
   version (if the working tree version were also different,
   'binary' would have been shown in place of 'nothing').  The
   other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added
   and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but
   working tree file has further modifications (one addition and
   one deletion).

 * 'update' shows the status information and gives prompt
   "Update>>".  When the prompt ends with double '>>', you can
   make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or
   comma.  Also you can say ranges.  E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose
   2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list.  You can say '*' to choose
   everything.

   What you chose are then highlighted with '*', like this:

              staged     unstaged path
     1:       binary      nothing foo.png
   * 2:     +403/-35        +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl

   To remove selection, prefix the input with - like this:

        Update>> -2

   After making the selection, answer with an empty line to
   stage the contents of working tree files for selected paths
   in the index.

 * 'revert' has a very similar UI to 'update', and the staged
   information for selected paths are reverted to that of the
   HEAD version.  Reverting new paths makes them untracked.

 * 'add untracked' has a very similar UI to 'update' and
   'revert', and lets you add untracked paths to the index.

 * 'patch' lets you choose one path out of 'status' like
   selection.  After choosing the path, it presents diff between
   the index and the working tree file and asks you if you want
   to stage the change of each hunk.  You can say:

        y - add the change from that hunk to index
        n - do not add the change from that hunk to index
        a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index
        d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index
        j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next
            undecided hunk
        J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk
        k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous
            undecided hunk
        K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk

   After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
   that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.

 * 'diff' lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between
   HEAD and index).

This is still rough, but does everything except a few things I
think are needed.

 * 'patch' should be able to allow splitting a hunk into
   multiple hunks.

 * 'patch' does not adjust the line offsets @@ -k,l +m,n @@
   in the hunk header.  This does not have major problem in
   practice, but it _should_ do the adjustment.

 * It does not have any explicit support for a merge in
   progress; it may not work at all.

Now that we have git-merge-file, an RCS merge lookalike, we no longer
need it. So long, merge, and thanks for all the fish!
