It was mentioned on #git this morning that the lead-in description
of git-rebase is very confusing. Too many branch this and branch
that in a very short run of text.
This new description attempts to walk the user through the command
syntax, while also describing exactly what git-rebase is doing to
their repository.

When we do not trust executable bit from lstat(2), we copied
existing ce_mode bits without checking if the filesystem object
is a regular file (which is the only thing we apply the "trust
executable bit" business) nor if the blob in the index is a
regular file (otherwise, we should do the same as registering a
new regular file, which is to default non-executable).
Noticed by Johannes Sixt.

The shell loop to determine if we should skip the trivial
in-index merge stage based on what strategy is given was not
prepared to have more than one strategy listed in the variable
$no_trivial_merge_strategies.
This does not trigger unless you use a modified git but the fix
is simple and straightforward, so let's fix it before 1.5.0.1.

When somebody else extracts git tarball inside a larger project,
'git describe' would reported the version number of that upper
level project.
Sometimes, using the consistent versioning across subdirectories
of a larger project is useful, but it may not always be the
right thing to do.
This changes the script to check ./vertion file first, and then
fall back to "git describe". This way, by default, tarball
distribution will get our own version. If the upper level wants
to use consistent versioning across its subdirectories, its
Makefile can overwrite ./version file to force whatever version
number they want to give us before descending into us.

It was unclear if the backward compatible features were disabled
or the configuration variables that controls them were set to
false by default from the description. Obviously we meant the
former, but the problem was made worse by the fact that one
configuration variable breaks compatibility when set to true and
the other one breaks it when set to false.

Here's a patch that I think we can merge right now. There may be
other places that need this, but this at least points out the
three places that read/write working tree files for git
update-index, checkout and diff respectively. That should cover
a lot of it [jc: git-apply uses an entirely different codepath
both for reading and writing].
Some day we can actually implement it. In the meantime, this
points out a place for people to start. We *can* even start with
a really simple "we do CRLF conversion automatically, regardless
of filename" kind of approach, that just look at the data (all
three cases have the _full_ file data already in memory) and
says "ok, this is text, so let's convert to/from DOS format
directly".
THAT somebody can write in ten minutes, and it would already
make git much nicer on a DOS/Windows platform, I suspect.
And it would be totally zero-cost if you just make it a config
option (but please make it dynamic with the _default_ just being
0/1 depending on whether it's UNIX/Windows, just so that UNIX
people can _test_ it easily).

In a repository with a large number of refs, the following command line
could easily overflow the command line size limitations
git-rev-list $newref $(git-rev-parse --not --all)
Fortunately, git-rev-list already has the means to cope with this
situation with the --stdin switch
git-rev-parse --not --all | git-rev-list --stdin $newref

Some of the git-svn tests can fail on fast machines due to a race in
Subversion: if a file is modified in the same second it was checked out
(or in for that matter), Subversion will not consider it modified. This
works around the problem by increasing the timestamp by one second
before each commit.

Subtle bugs remained on both Cygwin and Linux that caused the various
window panes to be restored in positions different than where the user
last placed them. Sergey Vlasov posed a pair of suggested fixes to this,
what is done here is slightly different. The basic fix here involves
a) explicitly remembering and restoring the sash positions for the upper
window, and b) using paneconfigure to redundantly set height and width of
other elements. This redundancy is needed as Cygwin Tcl has a nasty habit
of setting pane sizes to zero if their slaves are not configured with a
specific size, but Linux Tcl does not honor the specific size given.

This is the start of the 0.6 series of git-gui. I'm calling it 0.6

When we are included as a subproject, such as how git.git carries

its commit lineage.

I've decided to use gitgui-0.5 as the format for tags in the

Because git-gui is being shipped as a subproject of the main
Git project and will often have a different lifecycle than
the main Git project, we should ship our own version number
in the release tarball rather than relying on the main Git
version file.
Git's master Makefile will invoke our own with the target
dist-version, asking us to save off our GITGUI_VERSION value
into our own version file, so that our GIT-VERSION-GEN script
can recover it at build time.

It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from`
in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of
importers, such as a darcs importer.
We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a
new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction
was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was
developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more
of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a
`from` during any `commit`.
While making the changes required to permit multiple `from`
commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the
last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed.
(Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from()
that it was OK to execute on the branch.)
While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized
the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding
`from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the
code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left
the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what
the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to
reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the
branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these
SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if
`from` does not get supplied.
New test cases for these were also added.
