89e0a3a131 fast-import: make default pack size unlimited
Now that fast-import is creating packs with index version 2, there is
no point limiting the pack size by default.  A pack split will still
happen if off_t is not sufficiently large to hold large offsets.

While updating the doc, let's remove the "packfiles fit on CDs"
suggestion.  Pack files created by fast-import are still suboptimal and
a 'git repack -a -f -d' or even 'git gc --aggressive' would be a pretty
good idea before considering storage on CDs.

8a3d203bd0 log.decorate: usability fixes
The configuration is meant to suppliment --decorate command line option
that can be used as a boolean to turn the feature on, so it is natural
to expect

	[log]
		decorate
		decorate = yes

to work.  The original commit would segfault with the first one, and
would not understand the second one.

Once a user has this configuration in ~/.gitconfig, there needs to be a
way to override it from the command line.  Add --no-decorate option to
log family and also allow --decorate=no to mean the same thing.  Since
we allow setting log.decorate to 'true', the command line also should
accept --decorate=yes and behave accordingly.

New tests in t4202 are designed to exercise the interaction between the
configuration variable and the command line option that overrides it.

e73bbd96c6 builtin-notes: Add "copy" subcommand for copying notes between objects
This is useful for keeping notes to objects that are being rewritten by e.g.
'git commit --amend', 'git rebase', or 'git cherry-pick'.

"git notes copy <from> <to>" is in practice equivalent to
"git notes add -C $(git notes list <from>) <to>", although it is somewhat
more convenient for regular users.

"git notes copy" takes the same -f option as "git add", to overwrite existing
notes at the target (instead of aborting with an error message).

If the <from>-object has no notes, "git notes copy" will abort with an error
message.

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new subcommand.

0691cff7dc builtin-notes: Add -c/-C options for reusing notes
Inspired by the -c/-C options to "git commit", we teach these options to
"git notes add/append" to allow reuse of note objects.

With this patch in place, it is now easy to copy or move notes between
objects. For example, to copy object A's notes to object B:
	git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list A) B
To move instead of copying, you simply remove the notes from the source
object afterwards, e.g.:
	git notes remove A

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new functionality.

2347fae50b builtin-notes: Add "append" subcommand for appending to note objects
"git notes append" is equivalent to "git notes edit" except that instead
of editing existing notes contents, you can only append to it. This is
useful for quickly adding annotations like e.g.:
	git notes append -m "Acked-by: A U Thor <author@example.com>"

"git notes append" takes the same -m/-F options as "git notes add".

If there is no existing note to append to, "git notes append" is identical
to "git notes add" (i.e. it adds a new note).

"git notes add" is identical to "git notes edit" except that instead of
editing existing notes for a given object, you can only add notes to an
object that currently has none. If "git notes add" finds existing notes
for the given object, the addition is aborted. However, if the new
-f/--force option is used, "git notes add" will _overwrite_ the existing
notes with the new notes contents.

If there is no existing notes for the given object. "git notes add" is
identical to "git notes edit" (i.e. it adds a new note).

"git notes list" will list all note objects in the current notes ref (in the
format "<note object> <annotated object>"). "git notes list <object>" will
list the note object associated with the given <object>, or fail loudly if
the given <object> has no associated notes.

If no arguments are given to "git notes", it defaults to the "list"
subcommand. This is for pseudo-compatibility with "git tag" and "git branch".

7d54117465 Documentation: Generalize git-notes docs to 'objects' instead of 'commits'
Notes can annotate arbitrary objects (not only commits), but this is not
reflected in the current documentation.

This patch rewrites the git-notes documentation to talk about 'objects'
instead of 'commits'. However, the discussion on commit notes and how
they are displayed by 'git log' is largely preserved.

Finally, I add myself to the Author/Documentation credits, since most of
the lines in the git-notes code and docs are blamed on me.

cd067d3bf4 Builtin-ify git-notes
The builtin-ification includes some minor behavioural changes to the
command-line interface: It is no longer allowed to mix the -m and -F
arguments, and it is not allowed to use multiple -F options.

As part of the builtin-ification, we add the commit_notes() function
to the builtin API. This function (together with the notes.h API) can
be easily used from other builtins to manipulate the notes tree.

Also includes needed changes to t3301.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Stephen Boyd: Use die() instead of fprintf(stderr, ...) followed by exit(1)

88d9d45d07 git log -p -m: document -m and honor --first-parent
git log -p -m is used to show one merge entry per parent, with an
appropriate diff; this can be useful when examining histories where
full set of changes introduced by a merged branch is interesting, not
only the conflicts.

This patch properly documents the -m switch, which has so far been
mentioned only as a fairly special diff-tree flag.

It also makes the code show full patch entry only for the first parent
when --first-parent is used. Thus:

	git log -p -m --first-parent

will show the history from the "main branch perspective", while also
including full diff of changes introduced by other merged in branches.

ae6a5609c0 run-command: support custom fd-set in async
This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file
descriptors for async process communication instead of the
default-created pipe.

Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the
async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write
file descriptors.

To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command,
we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable
file descriptor.  If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file
descriptor to the async process.

[sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is
     his work.  All bugs were introduced later by Shawn.]

is not set. Looking up in git-clean(1) does not help because its
description is wrong.

Change it so that git clean issues

fatal: clean.requireForce defaults to true and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean

in this situation (and "...set to true..." when it is set) which makes
it clearer that an unset config means true here, and adjust the
documentation.

07cf0f2407 make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytes
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was
inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as
other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an
optional unit suffix.  This brings --max-pack-size in line with the
rest of Git.

Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous
megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a
minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files.

Adjust and extend test suite accordingly.

If a blob is larger than the configured big-file-threshold, instead
of reading it into a single buffer obtained from malloc, stream it
onto the end of the current pack file.  Streaming the larger objects
into the pack avoids the 4+ GiB memory footprint that occurs when
fast-import is processing 2+ GiB blobs.

13be3e31f1 Reword "detached HEAD" notification
The old "advice" message explained how to create a branch after going into
a detached HEAD state but didn't make it clear why the user may want to do
so.  Also "moving to ... which isn't a local branch" was unclear if it is
complaining, if it is describing the new state, or if it is explaining why
the HEAD is detached (the true reason is the last one).

Give the established phrase 'detached HEAD' first to make it easy for
users to look up the concept in documentation, and briefly describe what
can be done in the state (i.e. play around without having to clean up)
before telling the user how to keep what was done during the temporary
state.

Allow the long description to be hidden by setting advice.detachedHead
configuration to false.

We might want to customize the advice depending on how the commit to check
out was spelled (e.g. instead of "new-branch-name", we way want to say
"topic" when "git checkout origin/topic" triggered this message) in later
updates, but this encapsulates that into a separate function and it should
be a good first step.

3588cf9481 Documentation: merge: use MERGE_HEAD to refer to the remote branch
commit 57bddb11 (Documentation/git-merge: reword references to
"remote" and "pull", 2010-01-07) fixed the manual to drop the
assumption that the other branch being merged is from a remote
repository.  Unfortunately, in a few places, to do so it
introduced the antecedentless phrase "their versions".  Worse, in
passages like the following, 'they' is playing two roles.

|   highlighting changes from both the HEAD and their versions.
|
| * Look at the diffs on their own. 'git log --merge -p <path>'

Using HEAD and MERGE_HEAD nicely assigns terminology to "our" and
"their" sides.  It also provides the reader with practice using
names that git will recognize on the command line.

ebef7e5049 Documentation: simplify How Merge Works
The user most likely does not care about the exact order of
operations because he cannot see it happening anyway.  Instead,
try to explain what it means to merge two commits into a single
tree.

While at it:

 - Change the heading to TRUE MERGE.  The entire manual page is
   about how merges work.

 - Document MERGE_HEAD.  It is a useful feature, since it makes
   the parents of the intended merge commit easier to refer to.

 - Do not assume commits named on the 'git merge' command line come
   from another repository.  For simplicity, the discussion of
   conflicts still does assume that there is only one and it is a
   branch head.

 - Do not start list items with `code`.  Otherwise, a toolchain bug
   produces a line break in the generated nroff, resulting in odd
   extra space.

30f2bade84 Documentation: emphasize when git merge terminates early
A merge-based operation in git can fail in two ways: one that
stops before touching anything, or one that goes ahead and
results in conflicts.

As the 'git merge' manual explains:

| A merge is always between the current `HEAD` and one or more
| commits (usually, branch head or tag), and the index file must
| match the tree of `HEAD` commit (i.e. the contents of the last commit)
| when it starts out.

Unfortunately, the placement of this sentence makes it easy to
skip over, and its formulation leaves the important point, that
any other attempted merge will be gracefully aborted, unspoken.

So give this point its own section and expand upon it.

Probably this could be simplified somewhat: after all, a change
registered in the index is just a special kind of local
uncommited change, so the second added paragraph is only a
special case of the first.  It seemed more helpful to be explicit
here.

3e18ce1ac3 git-svn: allow UUID to be manually remapped via rewriteUUID
In certain situations it may be necessary to manually remap an svn
repostitory UUID. For example:

                  o--- [git-svn clone]
                 /
[origin svn repo]
                 \
                  o--- [svnsync clone]

Imagine that only "git-svn clone" and "svnsync clone" are made available
to external users. Furthur, "git-svn clone" contains only trunk, and for
reasons unknown, "svnsync clone" is missing the revision properties that
normally provide the origin svn repo's UUID.

A git user who has cloned the "git-svn clone" repo now wishes to use
git-svn to pull in the missing branches from the "synsync clone" repo.
In order for git-svn to get the history correct for those branches,
it needs to know the origin svn repo's UUID. Hence rewriteUUID.

66b2ed09c2 Fix "log" family not to be too agressive about showing notes
Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.

Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.

Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

b09fe971de rev-parse --branches/--tags/--remotes=pattern
Since local branch, tags and remote tracking branch namespaces are
most often used, add shortcut notations for globbing those in
manner similar to --glob option.

With this, one can express the "what I have but origin doesn't?"
as:

'git log --branches --not --remotes=origin'

b706fcfe93 commit: allow suppression of implicit identity advice
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity
was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos
information, in case it is not correct. Most users will
suppress this by simply setting up their information
correctly.

However, there may be some users who consciously want to use
that information, because having the value change from host
to host contains useful information. These users can now set
advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message.

0a0416a34a strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user
format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly
unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single
"%", as that is what printf format specifiers do.

This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand():

 (1) git-daemon interpolated paths

 (2) pretty-print user formats

 (3) merge driver command lines

Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of
strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch.
Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing
behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

d38a30df7d Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.

A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the

The git-merge manpage was written in terms of merging a "remote",
which is no longer the case: you merge local or remote-tracking
branches; pull is for actual remotes.

Adjust the manpage accordingly.  We refer to the arguments as
"commits", and change instances of "remote" to "other" (where branches
are concerned) or "theirs" (where conflict sides are concerned).
Remove the single reference to "pulling".

47b7012024 git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work tree
Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the
files that have disappeared from the working tree will probably
look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'.

Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves
other commands than 'git rm'). Based on a suggestion by Junio,
but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of
command reference.

While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working
tree" for consistency.

Similar to how git-daemon checks whether a repository is OK to be

in two different ways: the environmental variable GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL

e11d7b5969 "reset --merge": fix unmerged case
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries.  But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used.  This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.

The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.

Fix it by doing three things:

 - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
   better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
   any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
   HEAD records";

 - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
   while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
   the object name from the higher stage entry.  The code used to take the
   object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
   stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
   that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.

   The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
   index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
   corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
   when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path.  In order to
   differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
   added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.

 - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
   cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED.  They are previously unmerged
   entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
   resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
   resetting to.

d0f379c2dc reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree"
This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly
instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more
efficient.

And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used,
as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing
which is quite complex.

As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new
version and the old one. The old version gives an error for
"git reset --merge" with unmerged entries, and the new version does
not when we reset the entries to some states that differ from HEAD.
Instead, it resets the index entry and succeeds, while leaving the
conflict markers in the corresponding file in the work tree (which
will be corrected by the next patch).

The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project:

git://repo.or.cz/git/sbeyer.git

(at commit 5a78908b70ceb5a4ea9fd4b82f07ceba1f019079)

03bd0d601e CVS Server: Support reading base and roots from environment
The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands
through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is
authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for
upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through
git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed
through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks
sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained.

Despite that, passing a repository root is necessary for per-user
access control by the hosting software, and passing a base path
improves usability without weakening security. Thus, git-cvsserver
needs to come up with these values at runtime by some other
means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other purposes,
the environment can carry these arguments as well.

Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOT} in
the absence of equivalent command line arguments.

bc3c79aefc fast-import: add (non-)relative-marks feature
After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.

In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.

Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.

Also add tests to verify this behavior.

import-marks feature may be specified in the stream, which is
overriden by any --import-marks= commandline options.

no non-option command has been encountered.

59a0a0bd57 Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparam
Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output.  Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.

When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.

Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line.  Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.

If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:

    $ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

73eb40eeaa git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
Sometimes people want their conflicting merges autoresolved by
favouring upstream changes.  The standard answer they are given is
to run "git diff --name-only | xargs git checkout MERGE_HEAD --" in
such a case.  This is to accept automerge results for the paths that
are fully resolved automatically, while taking their version of the
file in full for paths that have conflicts.

This is problematic on two counts.

One is that this is not exactly what these people want.  It discards
all changes they did on their branch for any paths that conflicted.
They usually want to salvage as much automerge result as possible in
a conflicted file, and want to take the upstream change only in the
conflicted part.

This patch teaches two new modes of operation to the lowest-lever
merge machinery, xdl_merge().  Instead of leaving the conflicted
lines from both sides enclosed in <<<, ===, and >>> markers, the
conflicts are resolved favouring our side or their side of changes.

A larger problem is that this tends to encourage a bad workflow by
allowing people to record such a mixed up half-merged result as a
full commit without auditing.  This commit does not tackle this
issue at all.  In git, we usually give long enough rope to users
with strange wishes as long as the risky features are not enabled by
default, and this is such a risky feature.

b8ac923010 Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic
This adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with
the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl
to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which
sends the password in plaintext).

When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time,
in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which
lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default.

One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which
doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response
mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires
at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier
versions of curl.

4f36627518 pack-objects: split implications of --all-progress from progress activation
Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display
during the writing object phase even if output goes to stdout which is
primarily the case during a push operation.  This has the unfortunate
side effect of forcing progress display even if stderr is not a
terminal.

Let's introduce the --all-progress-implied argument which has the same
intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress
display.  With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited
whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be
included otherwise.  This should let people use 'git push' within a cron
job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

73a1d050c4 User Manual: Write "Git" instead of "GIT"
In the Table of Contents, there is a notable inconsistency:
first there is "GIT Glossary", followed by "Git Quick Reference"
on the very next line.

Running "grep -c" on user-manual.txt, I find 780 occurrrences of
"git", 37 occurrences of "Git", and 9 occurrences of "GIT".
In general, "git" is the preferred spelling, except at the
beginning of a sentence.

Therefore, change "GIT Glossary" to "Git Glossary" for consistency
with the rest of the document.

Looking at the other eight occurrences of "GIT" I found one other
occurrence that should be changed:

* The mention of "StGIT". Looking at the web pages for "Stacked Git"
  at http://www.procode.org/stgit, I only saw the spelling "StGit",
  except in http://wiki.procode.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/StGIT_Tutorial,
  but that page was last updated in 2006.

The other seven occurrences should not be changed:

* Three occurrences were in the output of 'git show-branch' run
  on the git.git repository.

* One occurrence was in the output of 'git cat-file'.

* One occurrence was as part of the file name "GIT-VERSION-GEN".

* Two occurrences were in comments in scripts quoted in a description
  of Tony Luck's workflow.

38a39647b4 apply: apply works outside a repository
The documentation for 'git apply' talks about applying a
patch/diff to the index and to the working tree, which seems
to imply that it will not work outside a git repository.

Actually 'git patch' works outside a repository (which can
be useful especially for applying binary or rename patches that
the standard "patch" utility cannot handle), so the documentation
should mention it.

Thanks to Junio for suggesting better wording.

'git diff*' also for --raw option.

Also correct the description of the "munging" of pathanmes that
takes place in the absence of -z for the 'git diff*' and

double quotes will also be escaped and that the pathname will be
enclosed in double quotes if any characters are escaped.

The current man page does a reasonable job at describing branch management

how the branches are affected by releases.

Add a basic introduction to the branch management undertaken during a
git.git release, so that a reader may gain some insight into how the
integration, maintenance, and topic branches are affected during the
release transition, and is thus able to better design the process for their
own project.

Other release activities such as reviews, testing, and creating
distributions are currently out of scope.

can feed the list of revs from the standard input when "--stdin" is used

Allow some users of the revision machinery that want different semantics
from the "--stdin" option to disable it by setting an option in the
rev_info structure.

If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

6111b93499 git svn: attempt to create empty dirs on clone+rebase
We parse unhandled.log files for empty_dir statements and make a
best effort attempt to recreate empty directories on fresh
clones and rebase.  This should cover the majority of cases
where users work off a single branch or for projects where
branches do not differ in empty directories.

Since this cannot affect "normal" git commands like "checkout"
or "reset", so users switching between branches in a single
working directory should use the new "git svn mkdirs" command

d4cbaa12a7 Documentation: clarify 'ours' merge strategy
Make it clear in the docs that the merge takes the tree of HEAD and
ignores everything in the other branches.  This should hopefully clear
up confusion, usually caused by the user looking for a strategy that
resolves all conflict hunks in favour of HEAD (which is completely
different and currently not supported).

This should allow one to avoid searching for a proper editor

git_editor(void) uses the logic to decide which editor to use

if there is no suitable editor; the caller is expected to issue
an error message when appropriate.

launch_editor() uses git_editor() and gives the error message the
same way as before when EDITOR is not set.

"git var GIT_EDITOR" gives the editor name, or an error message
when there is no appropriate one.

"git var -l" gives GIT_EDITOR=name only if there is an
appropriate editor.

f2f3a6b802 filter-branch: nearest-ancestor rewriting outside subdir filter
Since a0e4639 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12) git-filter-branch has done
nearest-ancestor rewriting when using a --subdirectory-filter.

However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in
other tasks.  For example, if you want to split out a subset of files
from your history, you would typically call

  git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files>

But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit
that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be
rewritten and the ref remains untouched.

The code was already there for the --subdirectory-filter case, so just
introduce an option that enables it independently.

02bc5b03f5 format-patch: Always generate a patch
Jeff King recently reinstated -p to suppress the default diffstat
(as -p used to work before 68daa64, about 14 months ago).

However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options
(e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all.
The documentation does not mention this.

Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that
can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination
of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself.

Therefore:

* Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch.

* Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses
  the generation of the patch, disallow those options,
  and remove the description of them in the documentation.

* Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U.

* Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p
  plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat).

* While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself
  to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can
  think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

Add the --all option to 'git fetch', to tell it to attempt to fetch

argument is allowed to be the name of a group, to allow fetching
from all repositories in the group.

e62b393505 Show usage string for 'git show-ref -h'
This only changes the behavior of "git show-ref -h" without any
other options and arguments.

"show-ref -h" currently is short for "show-ref --head", which
shows all the refs/* and HEAD, as opposed to "show-ref" that
shows all the refs/* and not HEAD.

Does anybody use "show-ref -h"?  It was in Linus's original, most
likely only because "it might be handy", not because "the command
should not show the HEAD by default for such and such reasons".
So I think it is okay if "show-ref -h" (but not "show-ref
--head") gives help and exits.

If a current script uses "git show-ref -h" without any other
arguments, it would have to be adapted by changing "-h" to
"--head".

Some repository owners may wish to enable smart HTTP, but disallow
dumb content serving.  Disallowing dumb serving might be because
the owners want to rely upon reachability to control which objects
clients may access from the repository, or they just want to
encourage clients to use the more bandwidth efficient transport.

If http.getanyfile is set to false the backend CGI will return with
'403 Forbidden' when an object file is accessed by a dumb client.

de1a2fdd38 Smart push over HTTP: client side
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts.  This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.

For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image).  The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.

For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

556cfa3b6d Smart fetch and push over HTTP: server side
Requests for $GIT_URL/git-receive-pack and $GIT_URL/git-upload-pack
are forwarded to the corresponding backend process by directly
executing it and leaving stdin and stdout connected to the invoking
web server.  Prior to starting the backend process the HTTP response
headers are sent, thereby freeing the backend from needing to know
about the HTTP protocol.

Requests that are encoded with Content-Encoding: gzip are
automatically inflated before being streamed into the backend.
This is primarily useful for the git-upload-pack backend, which
receives highly repetitive text data from clients that easily
compresses to 50% of its original size.

c51f6ceed6 commit -c/-C/--amend: reset timestamp and authorship to committer with --reset-author
When we use -c, -C, or --amend, we are trying one of two things: using the
source as a template or modifying a commit with corrections.

When these options are used, the authorship and timestamp recorded in the
newly created commit are always taken from the original commit.  This is
inconvenient when we just want to borrow the commit log message or when
our change to the code is so significant that we should take over the
authorship (with the blame for bugs we introduce, of course).

The new --reset-author option is meant to solve this need by regenerating
the timestamp and setting the committer as the new author.

ae4efe1957 Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curl
The remote helper interface now supports the push capability,
which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more
specs to the remote repository.  For remote-curl we implement this
by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable.

Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook
so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be
reused between remote implementations.  When possible however the
helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1,
thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful.

>From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>:
 update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities

 o Pushing packed refs is now fixed.

 o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add
   a test for that.

 o The transport helper will notice if refs are already
   up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the
   unpacked-refs test.

 o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically.

 o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

292ce46b60 remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batch
Some network protocols (e.g. native git://) are able to fetch more
than one ref at a time and reduce the overall transfer cost by
combining the requests into a single exchange.  Instead of feeding
each fetch request one at a time to the helper, feed all of them
at once so the helper can decide whether or not it should batch them.

134748353b Teach 'git merge' and 'git pull' the option --ff-only
For convenience in scripts and aliases, add the option
--ff-only to only allow fast-forwards (and up-to-date,
despite the name).

Disallow combining --ff-only and --no-ff, since they
flatly contradict each other.

Allow all other options to be combined with --ff-only
(i.e. do not add any code to handle them specially),
including the following options:

* --strategy (one or more): As long as the chosen merge
  strategy results in up-to-date or fast-forward, the
  command will succeed.

* --squash: I cannot imagine why anyone would want to
  squash commits only if fast-forward is possible, but I
  also see no reason why it should not be allowed.

* --message: The message will always be ignored, but I see
  no need to explicitly disallow providing a redundant message.

Acknowledgements: I did look at Yuval Kogman's earlier
patch (107768 in gmane), mainly as shortcut to find my
way in the code, but I did not copy anything directly.

500348aa68 ls-files: unbreak "ls-files -i"
Commit b5227d8 changed the behavior of "ls-files" with
respect to includes, but accidentally broke the "-i" option
The original behavior was:

  1. if no "-i" is given, cull all results according to --exclude*
  2. if "-i" is given, show the inverse of (1)

The broken behavior was:

  1. if no "-i" is given:
     a. for "-o", cull results according to --exclude*
     b. for index files, always show all
  2. if "-i" is given:
     a. for "-o", shows the inverse of (1a)
     b. for index files, always show all

The fixed behavior keeps the new (1b) behavior introduced
by b5227d8, but fixes the (2b) behavior to show only ignored
files, not all files.

This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text
was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now
inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not
quite a "reverse").

9f67d2e827 Teach "git describe" --dirty option
With the --dirty option, git describe works on HEAD but append s"-dirty"
iff the contents of the work tree differs from HEAD.  E.g.

  $ git describe --dirty
  v1.6.5-15-gc274db7
  $ echo >> Makefile
  $ git describe --dirty
  v1.6.5-15-gc274db7-dirty

The --dirty option can also be used to specify what is appended, instead
of the default string "-dirty".

  $ git describe --dirty=.mod
  v1.6.5-15-gc274db7.mod

Many build scripts use `git describe` to produce a version number based on
the description of HEAD (on which the work tree is based) + saying that if
the build contains uncommitted changes.  This patch helps the writing of
such scripts since `git describe --dirty` does directly the intended thing.

Three possiblities were considered while discussing this new feature:

1. Describe the work tree by default and describe HEAD only if "HEAD" is
   explicitly specified

     Pro: does the right thing by default (both for users and for scripts)
     Pro: other git commands that works on the work tree by default
     Con: breaks existing scripts used by the Linux kernel and other projects

2. Use --worktree instead of --dirty

     Pro: does what it says: "git describe --worktree" describes the work tree
     Con: other commands do not require a --worktree option when working
          on the work tree (it often is the default mode for them)
     Con: unusable with an optional value: "git describe --worktree=.mod"
	  is quite unintuitive.

3. Use --dirty as in this patch

     Pro: makes sense to specify an optional value (what the dirty mark is)
     Pro: does not have any of the big cons of previous alternatives
	  * does not break scripts
	  * is not inconsistent with other git commands

This patch takes the third approach.

204d363f5a Quote ' as \(aq in manpages
The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'.  This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.

Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.

Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.

Thanks also to Miklos Vajna for documentation.

f29cd3938d fsck: default to "git fsck --full"
Linus and other git developers from the early days trained their fingers
to type the command, every once in a while even without thinking, to check
the consistency of the repository back when the lower core part of the git
was still being developed.  Developers who wanted to make sure that git
correctly dealt with packfiles could deliberately trigger their creation
and checked them after they were created carefully, but loose objects are
the ones that are written by various commands from random codepaths.  It
made some technical sense to have a mode that checked only loose objects
from the debugging point of view for that reason.

Even for git developers, there no longer is any reason to type "git fsck"
every five minutes these days, worried that some newly created objects
might be corrupt due to recent change to git.

The reason we did not make "--full" the default is probably we trust our
filesystems a bit too much.  At least, we trusted filesystems more than we
trusted the lower core part of git that was under development.

Once a packfile is created and we always use it read-only, there didn't
seem to be much point in suspecting that the underlying filesystems or
disks may corrupt them in such a way that is not caught by the SHA-1
checksum over the entire packfile and per object checksum.  That trust in
the filesystems might have been a good tradeoff between fsck performance
and reliability on platforms git was initially developed on and for, but
it may not be true anymore as we run on many more platforms these days.

8f8f5476cd Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD] for reflog information
Add three new --pretty=format escapes:

  %gD  long  reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0})
  %gd  short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0})
  %gs  reflog message

This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the
pretty_print_context struct.

We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some
extra functionality to extract a shortened ref.  The shortening is
cached inside the commit_reflogs struct; the only allocation of it
happens in read_complete_reflog(), where it is initialised to 0.  Also
add another helper get_reflog_message() for the message extraction.

Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real
repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the
": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the
old part) reflog.  This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of
this patch.

The patch also updates the "git notes" documentation and adds
selftests for the new functionality. Unfortunately, the added
selftests include a couple of lines with trailing whitespace

a97a74686d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes

6b87ce231d bisect reset: Allow resetting to any commit, not just a branch
‘git bisect reset’ accepts an optional argument specifying a branch to
check out after cleaning up the bisection state.  This lets you
specify an arbitrary commit.

In particular, this provides a way to clean the bisection state
without moving HEAD: ‘git bisect reset HEAD’.  This may be useful if
you are not interested in the state before you began a bisect,
especially if checking out the old commit would be expensive and
invalidate most of your compiled tree.

Clarify the ‘git bisect reset’ documentation to explain this optional
argument, which was previously mentioned only in the usage message.

b0fa7ab51b git: add --no-replace-objects option to disable replacing
Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.

So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.

For example:

$ git cat-file -p N

would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.

With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:

$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N

While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the
"git replace" man page too.

38eedc634b git check-ref-format --print
Tolerating empty path components in ref names means each ref does
not have a unique name.  This creates difficulty for porcelains
that want to see if two branches are equal.  Add a helper associating
to each ref a canonical name.

If a user asks a porcelain to create a ref "refs/heads//master",
the porcelain can run "git check-ref-format --print refs/heads//master"
and only deal with "refs/heads/master" from then on.

33405be34b Documentation: clone: clarify discussion of initial branch
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.

bb35f35e67 Documentation: clarify branch creation
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.

Also add a pointer to the user's manual for the bewildered.

9fa708dab1 Pretty-format: %[+-]x to tweak inter-item newlines
This teaches the "pretty" machinery to expand '%+x' to a LF followed by
the expansion of '%x' if and only if '%x' expands to a non-empty string,
and to remove LFs before '%-x' if '%x' expands to an empty string.  This
works for any supported expansion placeholder 'x'.

This is expected to be immediately useful to reproduce the commit log
message with "%s%+b%n"; "%s%n%b%n" adds one extra LF if the log message is
a one-liner.

0f4b377c20 git-archive: infer output format from filename when unspecified
A command line

    $ git archive -o my-v2.0.zip v2.0

almost certainly wants the output in zip format, even though it does not
specify any --format option.

When --format is not given, but output filename is, try to infer what
format is requested from the filename extension.  Currently this code only
knows about '.zip'.  When the format is unspecified and the filename does
not tell us, the output will be in 'tar' format as before.

Of course, an explicit --format will not trigger this guesswork.

push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.

Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and

6f15787181 status: add --porcelain output format
The "short" format was added to "git status" recently to
provide a less verbose way of looking at the same
information. This has two practical uses:

  1. Users who want a more dense display of the information.

  2. Scripts which want to parse the information and need a
     stable, easy-to-parse interface.

For now, the "--short" format covers both of those uses.
However, as time goes on, users of (1) may want additional
format tweaks, or for "git status" to change its behavior
based on configuration variables. Those wishes will be at
odds with (2), which wants to stability for scripts.

This patch introduces a separate --porcelain option early to
avoid problems later on.  Right now the --short and
--porcelain outputs are identical. However, as time goes on,
we will have the freedom to customize --short for human
consumption while keeping --porcelain stable.

aeb84b05ae core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}
People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.

This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof.  This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

77b15bbd88 apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.

The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes.  The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors.  It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.

Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix.  Or you could call it a new feature.  The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.

Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have.  People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

3c2eb80fe3 stash: simplify defaulting to "save" and reject unknown options
With the earlier DWIM patches, certain combination of options defaulted
to the "save" command correctly while certain equally valid combination
did not.  For example, "git stash -k" were Ok but "git stash -q -k" did
not work.

This makes the logic of defaulting to "save" much simpler. If there are no
non-flag arguments, it is clear that there is no command word, and we
default to "save" subcommand.  This rule prevents "git stash -q apply"
from quietly creating a stash with "apply" as the message.

This also teaches "git stash save" to reject an unknown option.  This is
to keep a mistyped "git stash save --quite" from creating a stash with a
message "--quite", and this safety is more important with the new logic
to default to "save" with any option-looking argument without an explicit
comand word.

[jc: this is based on Matthieu's 3-patch series, and a follow-up
discussion, and he and Peff take all the credit; if I have introduced bugs
while reworking, they are mine.]

11cae066b2 upload-pack: feed "kind [clone|fetch]" to post-upload-pack hook
A request to clone the repository does not give any "have" but asks for
all the refs we offer with "want".  When a request does not ask to clone
the repository fully, but asks to fetch some refs into an empty
repository, it will not give any "have" but its "want" won't ask for all
the refs we offer.

If we suppose (and I would say this is a rather big if) that it makes
sense to distinguish these two cases, a hook cannot reliably do this
alone.  The hook can detect lack of "have" and bunch of "want", but there
is no direct way to tell if the other end asked for all refs we offered,
or merely most of them.

Between the time we talked with the other end and the time the hook got
called, we may have acquired more refs or lost some refs in the repository
by concurrent operations.  Given that we plan to introduce selective
advertisement of refs with a protocol extension, it would become even more
difficult for hooks to guess between these two cases.

This adds "kind [clone|fetch]" to hook's input, as a stable interface to
allow the hooks to tell these cases apart.

ed5336a754 Introduce "sparse checkout"
With skip-worktree bit, you can manually set it to unwanted files,
then remove them: you would have the so-called sparse checkout. The
disadvantages are:

 - Porcelain tools are not aware of this. Everytime you do an
   operation that may update working directory, skip-worktree may be
   cleared out. You have to set them again.

 - You still have to remove skip-worktree'd files manually, which is
   boring and ineffective.

These will be addressed in the following patches. This patch gives an
idea what is "sparse checkout" in Documentation/git-read-tree.txt.
This file is chosen instead of git-checkout.txt because it is quite
technical and user-unfriendly. I'd expect git-checkout.txt to have
something when Porcelain support is done.

e7fed18a89 git clone: Add --recursive to automatically checkout (nested) submodules
Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out
in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for
developers on such projects is:

	git clone url/to/project
	cd project
	git submodule update --init (--recursive)

This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new
option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all
submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence
can be reduced to:

	git clone --recursive url/to/project

--recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone.

The patch also includes documentation and a selftest.

well).

b13fd5c1a2 git submodule update: Introduce --recursive to update nested submodules
In very large and hierarchically structured projects, one may encounter
nested submodules. In these situations, it is valuable to not only update
the submodules in the current repo (which is what is currently done by
'git submodule update'), but also to operate on all submodules at all
levels (i.e. recursing into nested submodules as well).

This patch teaches the new --recursive option to the 'git submodule update'
command. The patch also includes documentation and selftests.

33e7018c45 git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.

This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

When you have to add certain lines like ACKs (or for that matter,

13354f5377 docs: describe impact of repack on "clone -s"
The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:

  1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
     be shared.

  2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
     repo.

This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.

For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".

For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

dda1f2a5c3 Implement 'git stash save --patch'
This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash.  You can select hunks from
the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a
stash that reflects these changes.  The index state of the stash is
the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.

Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing
if you had also staged these changes.  This is not entirely
satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions
would require a change to the stash format.

4f353658b9 Implement 'git checkout --patch'
This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout.  In the index usage

  git checkout --patch -- [files...]

it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).

We also accept a revision argument.  In the case

  git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]

we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely.  In the non-HEAD usage

  git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]

it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>.  The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.

The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree).  If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

which acts as the opposite of 'git add --patch -- [files...]': it
offers hunks for *un*staging.  Advanced usage is

  git reset --patch <revision> -- [files...]

which offers hunks from the diff between the index and <revision> for
forward application to the index.  (That is, the basic case is just
<revision> = HEAD.)

phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using

5749b0b2f9 don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository.  However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt.  So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

2da846e709 Documentation: git-send-email: correct statement about standard ports
The current documentation states that servers typically listen on port
465 and calls this "ssmtp". While it's true that many mail servers use
port 465 for SSL smtp, this is non-standard, and hails from the days
before smtp and submission TLS support, that arrived in RFC2487 and
RFC3207. Port 465 is actually assigned by IANA for unrelated purposes,
and is mostly still used by mail servers today only to support Outlook
Express.

In any case, this patch helps the documentation better reflect both
standards and reality, while still helpfully mentioning ports numbers
that a user may wish to specify.

The current documentation confuses non-standard SSL smtp port 465 with
submission port 587 (RFC 4406). This patch just changes the referenced
number.

79559f27be git fast-export: add --no-data option
When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs.  This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure.  --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a
massive speedup.

17635fc900 mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed] strings that is not a [PATCH] marker
By default, we remove leading [bracketed] [strings] from the Subject:
header when coming up with the summary of the patch.  This is because
there are mailing lists etc that add their own headers to the subject, and
they know they can add things in brackets. The most obvious example is the
Linux kernel security list.  Their emails look like

 	Subject: [Security] [patch] random: make get_random_int() more random

and other people mangle Subject: themselves in a similar way, e.g.:

 	Subject: [PATCH -rc] [BUGFIX] x86: fix kernel_trap_sp()
 	Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH] fix bad page removal from LRU (Was Re: [RFC][PATCH] ..

even though "fix" is more than enough cue to mark it as a [BUGFIX].

Some projects however want to keep these bracketed strings.  With this
option, we remove only [bracketed strings that contain word PATCH], so we
will turn things like these

	[PATCH] [mailinfo] -b ...
	[PATCH v2] [mailinfo] -b ...
	[PATCH (v2) 1/4] [mailinfo] -b ...

into

	[mailinfo] -b ...

This lacks tests and integration to the "git am" toolchain to be useful,
but it is a start.

Fix this by defining the asciidoc attribute 'no-inline-literal'

behaviour) when under ASCIIDOC8.

This reverts the --minimize-url behavior change that
appeared recently in commit 0b2af457a4
("Fix branch detection when repository root is inaccessible").

However, we now allow the option to be turned off by allowing
"--no-minimize-url" so people with limited-access setups can
still take advantage of the fix in
0b2af457a4.

Also document the behavior and default settings of minimize-url
in the manpage for the first time.

that will be reverted (fixed) in the next commit.

7f3140cd23 git repack: keep commits hidden by a graft
When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.

So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.

As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

a91f453f64 grep: Add --max-depth option.
It is useful to grep directories non-recursively, e.g. when one wants to
look for all files in the toplevel directory, but not in any subdirectory,
or in Documentation/, but not in Documentation/technical/.

This patch adds support for --max-depth <depth> option to git-grep. If it is
given, git-grep descends at most <depth> levels of directories below paths
specified on the command line.

Note that if path specified on command line contains wildcards, this option
makes no sense, e.g.

    $ git grep -l --max-depth 0 GNU -- 'contrib/*'

(note the quotes) will search all files in contrib/, even in
subdirectories, because '*' matches all files.

Documentation updates, bash-completion and simple test cases are also
provided.

5a56da5806 read-tree: migrate to parse-options
Cleanup the documentation to explicitly state that --exclude-directory
is only meaningful when used with -u. Also make the documentation more
consistent with the usage message printed with read-tree --help-all.

The -m, --prefix, --reset options are performing similar actions
(setting some flags, read_cache_unmerged(), checking for illegal option
combinations). Instead of performing these actions when the options are
parsed, we delay performing them until after parse-opts has finished.

The bit fields in struct unpack_trees_options have been promoted to full
unsigned ints. This is necessary to avoid "foo ? 1 : 0" constructs to
set these fields.

2d8ad46919 fast-export: Add a --tag-of-filtered-object option for newly dangling tags
When providing a list of paths to limit what is exported, the object that
a tag points to can be filtered out entirely.  This new switch allows
the user to specify what should happen to the tag in such a case.  The
default action, 'abort' will exit with an error message.  With 'drop', the
tag will simply be omitted from the output.  With 'rewrite', if the object
tagged was a commit, the tag will be modified to tag an alternate commit.
The alternate commit is determined by treating the original commit as the
"parent" of the tag and then using the parent rewriting algorithm of the
revision traversal machinery (related to the "--parents" option of "git
rev-list")

5eec27e35f git-svn: let 'dcommit $rev' work on $rev instead of HEAD
'git svn dcommit' takes an optional revision argument, but the meaning
of it was rather scary.  It completely ignored the current state of
the HEAD, only looking at the revisions between SVN and $rev.  If HEAD
was attached to $branch, the branch lost all commits $rev..$branch in
the process.

Considering that 'git svn dcommit HEAD^' has the intuitive meaning
"dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the
meaning of the revision argument.  git-svn temporarily checks out $rev
for its work, meaning that

* if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as
  part of the dcommit,

* if some other revision is specified, as in the example, all work
  happens on a detached HEAD and no branch is affected.

d4900ee48c git-show-ref.txt: remove word and make consistent
Under is better than in because of the nested nature of the .git
directory.

"also using" sounds a little odd, plus we say combined with later on so
just use that.

0e987a12fc am, rebase: teach quiet option
git-am and git-rebase are talkative scripts. Teach them to be quiet when
told, allowing them to speak only when they fail or experience errors.

The quiet option is maintained when git-am or git-rebase fails to apply
a patch. This means subsequent --resolved, --continue, --skip, --abort
invocations will be quiet if the original invocation was quiet.

Drop a handful of >&2 redirection; the rest of the program sends all the
info messages to stdout, not to stderr.

754ae192a4 http.c: add http.sslCertPasswordProtected option
Add a configuration option, http.sslCertPasswordProtected, and associated
environment variable, GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED, to enable SSL client
certificate password prompt from within git.  If this option is false and
if the environment variable does not exist, git falls back to OpenSSL's
prompts (as in earlier versions of git).

The environment variable may only be used to enable, not to disable
git's password prompt.  This behavior mimics GIT_NO_VERIFY; the mere
existence of the variable is all that is checked.

907ffe1522 Add -k option to cvsexportcommit to revert expanded CVS keywords in CVS working tree before applying commit patch
Depending on how your CVS->GIT conversion went you will have some
unexpanded CVS keywords in your GIT repo. If any of your git commits
touch these lines then the patch application will fail. This patch
addresses that by adding an option that will revert and expanded CVS
keywords to files in the working CVS directory that are affected by
the commit being applied.

cb8a9bd518 Test cccmd in t9001-send-email.sh and fix some bugs
For another patch series I'm working on I needed some tests
for the cc-cmd feature of git-send-email.

This patch adds 3 tests for the feature and for the possibility
to specify --suppress-cc multiple times, and fixes two bugs.
The first bug is that the --suppress-cc option for `cccmd' was
misspelled as `ccmd' in the code.  The second bug, which is
actually found only with my other series, is that the argument
to the cccmd is never quoted, so the cccmd would fail with
patch file names containing a space.

A third bug I fix (in the docs) is that the bodycc argument was
actually spelled ccbody in the documentation and bash completion.
