38ec8d3e26 git-gui: correct assignment of work-tree
git-gui currently uses its own logic to determine the work-tree setting
but 'git rev-parse --toplevel' directly returns git's work-tree value
by calling get_git_work_tree() and is therefore always correct.

This fixes an inability to handle some repository configurations. In
particular where .git is a file containing a path to the real directory
(a cross-platform symbolic link).
To continue to support older versions than 1.7.0, setting the work-tree
by normalizing the --show-cdup value is more reliable as git-dir might be
outside the work-tree entirely.

9130ac9fe1 rev-list: handle %x00 NUL in user format
The code paths for showing commits in "git log" and "git
rev-list --graph" correctly handle embedded NULs by looking
only at the resulting strbuf's length, and never treating it
as a C string. The code path for regular rev-list, however,
used printf("%s"), which resulted in truncated output. This
patch uses fwrite instead, like the --graph code path.

2794ad5244 fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the root
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".

For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)

Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.

This patch changes that, by allowing

	M 040000 <tree id> ""

as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it.  For example,

	M 040000 4b825dc642 ""

is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of

	git read-tree 4b825dc642

c3898111ac bash: support pretty format aliases
Users can have their own pretty format aliases since 8028184 (pretty:
add aliases for pretty formats, 2010-05-02), so let's offer those
after '--pretty=' and '--format=' for 'log' and 'show', too.

Similar to the completion of aliases, this will invoke 'git config'
each time pretty aliases needs to be completed, so changes in pretty.*
configuration will be reflected immediately.

2a5da75579 bash: support more 'git notes' subcommands and their options
The current completion function for 'git notes' only supported the
'edit' and 'show' subcommands and none of their options.  This patch
adds support for all missing subcommands, options, and their arguments
(files or refs), if any.

The code responsible for completing subcommand looks different
compared to the completion functions of other git commands with
subcommands.  This is because of the '--ref <notes-ref>' option which
comes before the subcommand (i.e. git notes --ref <notes-ref> add).

2c7c3877de bisect: check for mandatory argument of 'bisect replay'
'git bisect replay' has a mandatory logfile argument, but the current
implementation doesn't check whether the user has specified one.  When
the user omits the logfile argument, this leads to the following
unhelpful error message:

  cannot read  for replaying

meaningful error message when it is omitted.

3bb8cf8824 bisect: improve error msg of 'bisect reset' when original HEAD is deleted
'git bisect reset' (without the optional <commit> argument) returns to
the original HEAD from where the bisection was started.  However,
when, for whatever reason, the user deleted the original HEAD before

'git checkout':

  fatal: invalid reference: somebranch

what went wrong and a suggestion about how to resolve the situation:

  Could not check out original HEAD 'somebranch'. Try 'git bisect reset <commit>'.

412ff738ad bisect: improve error message of 'bisect log' while not bisecting
'git bisect log' is implemented by a direct invocation of 'cat
"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG"', without any sanity checks.  Consequently,
running 'git bisect log' while not bisecting leads to an error,
because the bisect logfile doesn't exists.  The accompanying error
message

  cat: /path/to/repo/.git/BISECT_LOG: No such file or directory

is neither very helpful nor very friendly.

Instead of blindly trying to cat the log file, first check whether
there is a bisection going on (i.e. the bisect logfile exists), and
die with a more appropriate error message when not.

d0af3734f1 gitweb: Improve behavior for actionless path_info gitweb URLs
Eli Barzilay noticed that

  http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>

link goes to 'shortlog' view, while 'commit' view would be more
useful, but that 'shortlog' action is more apropriate for

  http://server/gitweb/project/<commit-sha1>..<other-commit-sha1>

links.

Therefore for the case when we don't have either action, or filename,
or parent hash [base] in path_info-based URL, i.e. for

  http://server/gitweb/project/<object-id>

link, instead of using 'shortlog' view we allow dispatch() subroutine
to detect type of object and use appropriate action (in most case it
would be either 'commit' action, or 'tag', or 'tree' for top
directory).
