This converts scripts that do "cd $(rev-parse --show-cdup)" by
hand to use cd_to_toplevel.
I think git-fetch does not have to go to the toplevel, but that
should be dealt with in a separate patch.

If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires
a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected
results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command
to command.
Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare
repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no
working directory associated with it.

When <path> exists in the index (either merged or unmerged), and
<tree> does not have it, git-reset should be usable to restore
the absense of it from the tree. This implements it.

Sometimes it is asked on the list how to revert selected path in
the index from a tree, most often HEAD, without affecting the
files in the working tree. A similar operation that also
affects the working tree files has been available in the form of
"git checkout <tree> -- <paths>...".
By definition --soft would never affect either the index nor the
working tree files, and --hard is the way to make the working
tree files as close to pristine, so this new option is available
only for the default --mixed case.

If you typically sit in, say "src/", it's annoying to have to
change directory to do a reset.
This may need to be reworked when we add "git reset -- paths..."
to encapsulate the "ls-tree $tree | update-index --index-info"
pattern.

An earlier commit a9cb3c6e changed git-commit to use the
contents of MERGE_MSG even when we do not have MERGE_HEAD (the
rationale is in its log message).
However, the change tricks the following sequence to include a
merge message in a completely unrelated commit:
$ git pull somewhere
: oops, the conflicts are too much. forget it.
$ git reset --hard
: work work work
$ git commit
To fix this confusion, this patch makes "git reset" to remove
the leftover MERGE_MSG that was prepared when the user abandoned
the merge.

The check to use "rev-parse --verify" was defeated by the use of
"--default HEAD". "git reset --hard bogus-committish" just
defaulted to reset to the HEAD without complaining.

Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch,
recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is
reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of
the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the
cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked
off again from that point at the mainline.
The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does
not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by
using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a
strict superset of the mainline, like this:
git checkout mainline
git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any
rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast
forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never
create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing
special --no-commit could do to begin with.
This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a
workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge
case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases:
git checkout mainline
git pull --squash . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be
: no conflict if fast forward.
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to
the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new
option does not have any effect.
This was brought up in #git IRC channel recently.

Now that the one-way merge strategy does the right thing wrt files that do
not exist in the result, just remove all the random crud we did in "git
reset" to do this all by hand.
Instead, just pass in "-u" to git-read-tree when we do a hard reset, and
depend on git-read-tree to update the working tree appropriately.
This basically means that git reset turns into
# Always update the HEAD ref
git update-ref HEAD "$rev"
case "--soft"
# do nothing to index/working tree
case "--hard"
# read index _and_ update working tree
git-read-tree --reset -u "$rev"
case "--mixed"
# update just index, report on working tree differences
git-read-tree --reset "$rev"
git-update-index --refresh
which is what it was always semantically doing, it just did it in a
rather strange way because it was written to not expect git-read-tree to
do anything to the working tree.

When git-reset --hard is used and a subdirectory becomes
empty (as it contains no tracked files in the target tree)
the empty subdirectory should be removed. This matches
the behavior of git-checkout-index and git-read-tree -m
which would not have created the subdirectory or would
have deleted it when updating the working directory.
Subdirectories which are not empty will be left behind.
This may happen if the subdirectory still contains object
files from the user's build process (for example).
[jc: simplified the logic a bit, while keeping the test script.]
In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches,
the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over
and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged
to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream).
This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this
process by recording the conflicted automerge results and
corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge,
and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying
the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
