This is in spirit similar to "checkout A...B". To re-queue a new set of
patches for a series that the original author prepared to apply on 'next'
on the same base as before, you would do something like this:
$ git checkout next^0
$ git am -s rerolled-series.mbox
$ git rebase --onto next...jh/notes next
The first two commands recreates commits to be rebased as the original
author intended (i.e. applies directly on top of 'next'), and the rebase
command replays that history on top of the same commit the series being
replaced was built on (which is typically much older than the tip of
'next').

When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing
this sequence:
* Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit
on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next';
* Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it;
* Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and
* "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify.
Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to,
to make the first two steps easier. When the branch to switch to is
specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD
is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two
commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD
at that commit.
With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz".

Porcelains may want to make sure their calls to "git checkout" will
reliably fail regardless of the presense of random remote tracking
branches by the new DWIMmery introduced.
Luckily all existing in-tree callers have extra checks to make sure they
feed local branch name when they want to switch, or they explicitly ask to
detach HEAD at the given commit, so there is no need to add this option
for them.
As this is strictly script-only option, do not even bother to document it,
and do bother to hide it from "git checkout -h".

When 'frotz' is not a valid object name and not a tracked filename,
we used to complain and failed this command. When there is only
one remote that has 'frotz' as one of its tracking branches, we can
DWIM it as a request to create a local branch 'frotz' forking from
the matching remote tracking branch.

Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream
which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region
of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid
deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our
allocated output buffer could accept.
Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer
needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space.
Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed
to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack.
We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without
consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled
the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END.
Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working
as expected, and should not continue.
This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire
loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

When we use -b <branch>, we may checkout something else than what the
remote's HEAD references, but we still used remote_head to supply the
new ref value to the post-checkout hook, which is wrong.
So instead of using remote_head to find the value to be passed to the
post-checkout hook, we have to use our_head_points_at, which is always
correctly setup, even if -b is not used.
This also fixes a segfault when "clone -b <branch>" is used with a
remote repo that doesn't have a valid HEAD, as in such a case
remote_head is NULL, but we still tried to access it.

Before the --, always attempt ref completion. This helps with
entering the <treeish> arguments to git-grep. As a bonus, you can
work around git-grep's current lack of --all by hitting M-*, ugly as
the resulting command line may be.
Strictly speaking, completing the regular expression argument (or
option argument) makes no sense. However, we cannot prevent _all_
completion (it will fall back to filenames), so we dispense with any
additional complication to detect whether the user still has to enter
a regular expression.

When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active
remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads
point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a
new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the
same.
More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so
that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote
branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the
reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch
is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that
(2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the
upstream.

Aliases with newlines have been a problem since commit 56fc25f (Bash
completion support for remotes in .git/config., 2006-11-05). The chance
of the problem occurring has been slim at best, until commit 518ef8f
(completion: Replace config --list with --get-regexp, 2009-09-11)
removed the case statement introduced by commit 56fc25f. Before removing
the case statement, most aliases with newlines would work unless they
were specially crafted as follows
[alias]
foo = "log -1 --pretty='format:%s\nalias.error=broken'"
After removing the case statement, a more benign alias like
[alias]
whowhat = "log -1 --pretty='format:%an <%ae>\n%s'"
wont-complete = ...
would cause the completion to break badly.
For now, revert the removal of the case statement until someone comes up
with a better way to get keys from git-config.

After commit 511a3fc (wrap git's main usage string., 2009-09-12), the
bash completion for git commands includes COMMAND and [ARGS] when it
shouldn't. Fix this by grepping more strictly for a line with git
commands. It's doubtful whether git will ever have commands starting
with anything besides numbers and letters so this should be fine. At
least by being stricter we'll know when we break the completion earlier.

The documentation seems to assume that the starting point for a new
branch is the tip of an existing (ordinary) branch, but that is not
the most common case. More often, "git branch" is used to begin
a branch from a remote-tracking branch, a tag, or an interesting
commit (e.g. origin/pu^2). Clarify the language so it can apply
to these cases. Thanks to Sean Estabrooks for the wording.

There are several reasons a git-pull invocation might not
have anything marked for merge:
1. We're not on a branch, so there is no branch
configuration.
2. We're on a branch, but there is no configuration for
this branch.
3. We fetched from the configured remote, but the
configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either
it doesn't exist, or wasn't part of the fetch refspec).
4. We fetched from the non-default remote, but didn't
specify a branch to merge. We can't use the configured
one because it applies to the default remote.
5. We fetched from a specified remote, and a refspec was
given, but it ended up not fetching anything (this is
actually hard to do; if the refspec points to a remote
branch and it doesn't exist, then fetch will fail and
we never make it to this code path. But if you provide
a wildcard refspec like
refs/bogus/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
then you can see this failure).
We have handled (1) and (2) for some time. Recently, commit
a6dbf88 added code to handle case (3).
This patch handles cases (4) and (5), which previously just
fell under other cases, producing a confusing message.
While we're at it, let's rewrap the text for case (3), which
looks terribly ugly as it is.
