480611d170 Make usage documentation for git-add consistent.
The usage string for the executable was missing --refresh.  In
addition, the documentation referred to "file", but the usage string
referred to "filepattern".  Updated the documentation to
"filepattern", as git-add does handle patterns.

257a84d9d0 Document what the stage numbers in the :$n:path syntax mean.
The git-rev-parse manpage talks about the :$n:path notation (buried deep in
a list of other syntax) but it just says $n is a "stage number" -- someone
who is not familiar with the internals of git's merge implementation is
never going to be able to figure out that "1", "2", and "3" means.

d56651c0ef Don't allow combination of -g and --reverse as it doesn't work
The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another.  Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.

Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other.  Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

95064cbcc8 Correct documentation of 'reflog show' to explain it shows HEAD
By default 'git reflog show' will show the reflog of 'HEAD' and not
the reflog of the current branch.  This is most likely due to the
work done a while ago as part of the detached HEAD series to allow
HEAD to have its own reflog independent of each branch's reflog.

Since 'git reflog show' is really just an obscure alias for 'git
log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline' it should behave the same
way and its documentation should match.

ac053c0202 Allow frontends to bidirectionally communicate with fast-import
The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import
to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can
access them and the objects they refer to.  However there was not a
way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint
and it was safe to read those refs.

The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any
message of the frontend's choosing to standard out.  The frontend
can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a
pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import.

1fdb649c6a Make trailing LF optional for all fast-import commands
For the same reasons as the prior change we want to allow frontends
to omit the trailing LF that usually delimits commands.  In some
cases these just make the input stream more verbose looking than
it needs to be, and its just simpler for the frontend developer to
get started if our parser is slightly more lenient about where an
LF is required and where it isn't.

To make this optional LF feature work we now have to buffer up to one
line of input in command_buf.  This buffering can happen if we look
at the current input command but don't recognize it at this point
in the code.  In such a case we need to "unget" the entire line,
but we cannot depend upon the stdio library to let us do ungetc()
for that many characters at once.

2c570cde98 Make trailing LF following fast-import data commands optional
A few fast-import frontend developers have found it odd that we
require the LF following a `data` command, especially in the exact
byte count format.  Technically we don't need this LF to parse
the stream properly, but having it here does make the stream more
readable to humans.  We can easily make the LF optional by peeking
at the next byte available from the stream and pushing it back into
the buffer if its not LF.

401d53fa35 Teach fast-import to ignore lines starting with '#'
Several frontend developers have asked that some form of stream
comments be permitted within a fast-import data stream.  This way
they can include information from their own frontend program about
where specific data was taken from in the source system, or about
a decision that their frontend may have made while creating the
fast-import data stream.

This change introduces comments in the Bourne-shell/Tcl/Perl style.
Lines starting with '#' are ignored, up to and including the LF.
Unlike the above mentioned three languages however we do not look for
and ignore leading whitespace.  This just simplifies the definition
of the comment format and the code that parses them.

To make comments work we had to stop using read_next_command() within
cmd_data() and directly invoke read_line() during the inline variant
of the function.  This is necessary to retain any lines of the
input data that might otherwise look like a comment to fast-import.

4739809cd0 Add support for an info version of the user manual
These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the
git user manual.  No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are
touched, so you need to explicitly say

make info
sudo make install-info

to get git.info created and installed.  If the info target directory
does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created.
This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations.  The same could be
achieved with

sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info

explicitly.

perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in
the Texinfo file.  It would be cleaner to place the respective info
straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I
find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the
local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share
files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op.  A new
option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy
of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal
"pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer
overhead.  The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s
is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly
introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as
network" cloning).

 * With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via
   cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and
   also risks corrupted recipient repository if an
   alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving
   deltas.  As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you
   have a good back-up.

 * same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage
   of the source repository.  It still risks corrupted recipient
   repository due to hardware failure.  As long as the recipient
   is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up.

 * The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source
   repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient
   would be, too.  Also it is very cheap.  You do not get any
   back-up benefit, though.

None of the method is resilient against the source repository
corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison.  Then
the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily
if you value the back-up benefit or not.  If you want to use the
cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone
with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone,
recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as
you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so
paranoid anyway.

Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is
probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of
little practical value.  We default to hardlinked clone for
everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to
make a back-up.

73a7a65663 --base-path-relaxed option
I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of
a /data/git postfix in the posted urls. But transitioning is tricky,
since now all old paths will fail miserably.

So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon
try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up.
With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of

    git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git

and the old

    git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git

2ae68fcb78 Make verify-tag a builtin.
This replaces "git-verify-tag.sh" with "builtin-verify-tag.c".

Testing relies on the "git tag -v" tests calling this command.

A temporary file is needed when calling to gpg, because git is
already creating detached signatures (gpg option -b) to sign tags
(instead of leaving gpg to add the signature to the file by itself),
and those signatures need to be supplied in a separate file to be
verified by gpg.

The program uses git_mkstemp to create that temporary file needed by
gpg, instead of the previously used "$GIT_DIR/.tmp-vtag", in order to
allow the command to be used in read-only repositories, and also
prevent other instances of git to read or remove the same file.

Signal SIGPIPE is ignored because the program sometimes was
terminated because that signal when writing the input for gpg.

The command now can receive many tag names to be verified.
Documentation is also updated here to reflect this new behaviour.

8e64006eee Teach revision machinery about --no-walk
The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but
so far has been in use exclusively by "git show".

With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last
commit:

$ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk

which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic
branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber
debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking.

(Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as

 $ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet

 since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the
 refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.)

For good measure, this also adds the "--do-walk" option which overrides
"--no-walk".

dfd05e38f0 filter-branch: Big syntax change; support rewriting multiple refs
We used to take the first non-option argument as the name for the new
branch.  This syntax is not extensible to support rewriting more than just
HEAD.

Instead, we now have the following syntax:

	git filter-branch [<filter options>...] [<rev-list options>]

All positive refs given in <rev-list options> are rewritten.  Yes,
in-place.  If a ref was changed, the original head is stored in
refs/original/$ref now, for your inspecting pleasure, in addition to the
reflogs (since it is easier to inspect "git show-ref | grep original" than
to inspect all the reflogs).

This commit also adds the --force option to remove .git-rewrite/ and all
refs from refs/original/ before filtering.

62e09ce998 Make git tag a builtin.
This replaces the script "git-tag.sh" with "builtin-tag.c".

The existing test suite for "git tag" guarantees the compatibility
with the features provided by the script version.

There are some minor changes in the behaviour of "git tag" here:
"git tag -v" now can get more than one tag to verify, like "git tag -d" does,
"git tag" with no arguments prints all tags, more like "git branch" does,
and "git tag -n" also prints all tags with annotations (without needing -l).
Tests and documentation were also updated to reflect these changes.

The program is currently calling the script "git verify-tag" for verify.
This can be changed porting it to C and calling its functions directly
from builtin-tag.c.

b6f3481bb4 Teach fast-import to recursively copy files/directories
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames by telling us the directory was copied, then deleted in the
same revision.  This makes it difficult for a frontend to convert
such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has
on hand is "Copy a/ to b/; Delete a/" with no details about what
files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files.

The new 'C' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to make a
recursive copy of one path to another path within the branch, without
needing to keep track of the individual file paths.  The metadata
copy is performed in memory efficiently, but is implemented as a
copy-immediately operation, rather than copy-on-write.

With this new 'C' subcommand frontends could obviously implement an
'R' (rename) on their own as a combination of 'C' and 'D' (delete),
but since we have already offered up 'R' in the past and it is a
trivial thing to keep implemented I'm not going to deprecate it.

$ git rm --cached foo   # back to initial situation

Previously, the index had to match the file *and* the HEAD. With
--cached, the index must now match the file *or* the HEAD. The behavior
without --cached is unchanged, but provides better error messages.
