The goals are:
- Readable from beginning to end in order without having read
any other git documentation beforehand.
- Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too
hard to skip around some if you need to.
- Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the
tutorials)
It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on
practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge
conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a
public repository.
I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the
discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's
OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this
if any parts seem more useful than the whole.)
There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just
because those are essential even to people needing read-only access
(e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter
once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are
taken into account.
I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we
need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and
I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

Do not replace /dev/null in two-line from-file/to-file diff header for
split patches ("split" patch mean more than one patch per one
diff-tree raw line) by a/file or b/file link.
Split patches differ from pair of deletion/creation patch in git diff
header: both a/file and b/file are hyperlinks, in all patches in a
split.

We now do not skip over empty patches in git_patchset_body (where
empty means that they consist only of git diff header, and of extended
diff header, for example "pure rename" patch). This means that after
extended diff header there can be next patch (i.e. /^diff /) or end of
patchset, and not necessary patch body (i.e. /^--- /).

In order to make the generated tar files more friendly to users who
extract them as root using GNU tar and its implied -p option, change
the default umask to 002 and change the owner name and group name to
root. This ensures that a) the extracted files and directories are
not world-writable and b) that they belong to user and group root.
Before they would have been assigned to a user and/or group named
git if it existed. This also answers the question in the removed
comment: uid=0, gid=0, uname=root, gname=root is exactly what we
want.
Normal users who let tar apply their umask while extracting are
only affected if their umask allowed the world to change their
files (e.g. a umask of zero). This case is so unlikely and strange
that we don't need to support it.

Blame currently displays the commit id which introduced a
block of one or more lines, the line numbers wrt the current
listing of the file and the file's line contents.
The commit id displayed is hyperlinked to the commit.
Currently the linenr links are hyperlinked to the same
commit id displayed to the left, which is _no_ different
than the block of lines displayed, since it is the _same
commit_ that is hyperlinked. And thus clicking on it leads
to the same state of the file for that chunk of
lines. I.e. data mining is not currently possible with
gitweb given a chunk of lines introduced by a commit.
This patch makes such data mining possible.
The line numbers are now hyperlinked to the parent of the
commit id of the block of lines. Furthermore they are
linked to the line where that block was introduced.
Thus clicking on a linenr link will show you the file's
line(s) state prior to the commit id you were viewing.
So clicking continually on a linenr link shows you how this
line and its line number changed over time, leading to the
initial commit where it was first introduced.

Since fetch reforks itself at most every 1000 revisions, we
need to update the counter in the parent process to have a
working count if we set our repack interval to be > ~1000

as well.

Running the SHA1_Update() on the whole packfile in a single call
revealed an overflow problem we had in the SHA-1 implementation
on POWER architecture some time ago, which was fixed with commit
b47f509b (June 19, 2006). Other SHA-1 implementations may have
a similar problem.
The sliding mmap() series already makes chunked calls to
SHA1_Update(), so this patch itself will become moot when it
graduates to "master", but in the meantime, run the hash
function in smaller chunks to prevent possible future problems.
