66c4c32d29 Documentation/notes: simplify treatment of default display refs
The main description of display refs for notes should be in
git-log.1, where there is a chance to give a leisurely description
of all the ways they can be set, what they are used for, and so
on.  The description in git-notes.1 is only meant to be a quick
reminder of how notes are used.

So simplify it.

Also add an entry for GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF to the environment
section.

8d6888ec6a Documentation/notes: describe content of notes blobs
stripspace/text-based formatting kicks in when specifying the notes
content with -m or -F, or when an editor is used to edit the notes.
To binary-safely create notes from files, the following construct is
required:

    git notes add -C $(git hash-object -w <file>) <object>

Explain this trick (thanks, Johan!) in the manual.  Add an ordinary
example, too, to keep this esoteric one company.

02646fe55d Documentation/shortlog: scripted users should not rely on implicit HEAD
When passed no revision arguments, ‘git shortlog’ reads a log from
stdin if and only if stdin is not a tty.  So scripts that need to
function identically when standard input is a terminal (as when run
interactively) and not (as when run through a cron job) should either
supply a log themselves or specify the desired revisions explicitly.

8028184eec pretty: add aliases for pretty formats
previously the only ways to alias a --pretty format within git were
either to set the format as your default format (via the format.pretty
configuration variable), or by using a regular git alias. This left the
definition of more complicated formats to the realm of "builtin or
nothing", with user-defined formats usually being reserved for quick
one-offs.

Here we allow user-defined formats to enjoy more or less the same
benefits of builtins. By defining pretty.myalias, "myalias" can be
used in place of whatever would normally come after --pretty=. This
can be a format:, tformat:, raw (ie, defaulting to tformat), or the name
of another builtin or user-defined pretty format.

c308b9c25d documentation: clarify direction of core.autocrlf
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to
"the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which
technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other
mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS)..").

Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term
"work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in
the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which
makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters
occurs in.

fff0d0abdd Document new "already-merged" rule for branch -d
v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the
branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic
for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue.  It
is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if:

 - the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking,
   usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or

 - there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is
   fully merged in the current HEAD.

Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules.

882749a04f diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-words
This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:

* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
  'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}

* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
  format:
  - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
    in unified diff
  - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
    tilde '~'

Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences.  --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format.  Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

69cf7bfd13 send-email: Cleanup smtp-domain and add config
The way the code stored --smtp-domain was unlike its handling of other
similar options.  Bring it in line with the others by:

- Renaming $mail_domain to $smtp_domain to match the command line
  option. Also move its declaration from near the top of the file to
  near other option variables.

- Removing $mail_domain_default.  The variable was used once and only
  served to move the default away from where it gets used.

- Adding a sendemail.smtpdomain config option.  smtp-domain was the
  only SMTP configuration option that couldn't be set in the user's
  .gitconfig.

Change git-commit(1) to accept the --allow-empty-message option
to allow a commit with an empty message.  This is analogous to the
existing --allow-empty option which allows a commit that records
no changes.  As these are mainly for interoperating with foreign SCM

cf87463e79 Rename ONE_FILESYSTEM to DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.

Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

e640551773 GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundaries
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:

    I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
    multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
    seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
    having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
    no?

The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2).  This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem".  Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)

This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src.  But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

d9bae1a178 diff: cache textconv output
Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's
particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled
to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead
can add up for something like "git log -p".

This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast
cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in
refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver
defined in gitattributes.

Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true.

In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files
changed and a textconv to show their exif tags:

  [before]
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m13.724s
  user    0m12.057s
  sys     0m1.624s

  [after, first run]
  $ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m14.252s
  user    0m12.197s
  sys     0m1.800s

  [after, subsequent runs]
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m0.352s
  user    0m0.148s
  sys     0m0.200s

So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an
almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.

b499549401 Teach rebase the --no-ff option.
For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.

For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.

--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges.  Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different).  This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly.  Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

9db5ebf402 git checkout: create unparented branch by --orphan
Similar to -b, --orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any
commit.  After running "git checkout --orphan newbranch", you are on a
new branch "newbranch", and the first commit you create from this state
will start a new history without any ancestry.

"git checkout --orphan" keeps the index and the working tree files
intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose
trees resemble the ones from the original branch.

When creating a branch whose trees have no resemblance to the ones from
the original branch, it may be easier to start work on the new branch by
untracking and removing all working tree files that came from the
original branch, by running a 'git rm -rf .' immediately after running
"checkout --orphan".

bce02c1b4d everyday: fsck and gc are not everyday operations
Back in 2005 when this document was written, it may have made sense to
introduce ‘git fsck’ (then ‘git fsck-objects’) as the very first example
command for new users of Git 0.99.9.  Now that Git has been stable for
years and does not actually tend to eat your data, it makes significantly
less sense.  In fact, it sends an entirely wrong message.

‘git gc’ is also unnecessary for the purposes of this document, especially
with gc.auto enabled by default.

The only other commands in the “Basic Repository” section were ‘git init’
and ‘git clone’.  ‘clone’ is already listed in the “Participant” section,
so move ‘init’ to the “Standalone” section and get rid of “Basic
Repository” entirely.

66d6819984 git-notes(1): add a section about the meaning of history
To the displaying code, the only interesting thing about a notes ref
is that it has a tree of the required format.  However, notes actually
have a history since they are recorded as successive commits.

Make a note about the existence of this history in the manpage, but
keep some doors open if we want to change the details.

6956f858f6 notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewrite
Implement helper functions to load the rewriting config, and to
actually copy the notes.  Also document the config.

Secondly, also implement an undocumented --for-rewrite=<cmd> option to
'git notes copy' which is used like --stdin, but also puts the
configuration for <cmd> into effect.  It will be needed to support the
copying in git-rebase.

160baa0d9c notes: implement 'git notes copy --stdin'
This implements a mass-copy command that takes a sequence of lines in
the format

  <from-sha1> SP <to-sha1> [ SP <rest> ] LF

on stdin, and copies each <from-sha1>'s notes to the <to-sha1>.  The
<rest> is ignored.  The intent, of course, is that this can read the
same input that the 'post-rewrite' hook gets.

The copy_note() function is exposed for everyone's and in particular
the next commit's use.

c0fc686911 Documentation: document post-rewrite hook
This defines the behaviour of the post-rewrite hook support, which
will be implemented in the following patches.

We deliberately do not document how often the hook will be invoked per
rewriting command, but the interface is designed to keep that at
"once".  This would currently not matter too much, since both rebase
and filter-branch are shellscripts and spawn many processes anyway.
However, when a fast sequencer in C is implemented, it will be
beneficial to only have to run the hook once.

With this patch, you can set notes.displayRef to a glob that points at
your favourite notes refs, e.g.,

[notes]
	displayRef = refs/notes/*

Then git-log and friends will show notes from all trees.

function name lines.  The default for all three is no color, but they

the color to the entire line, not just non-matching text.

55f638bdc6 grep: Colorize filename, line number, and separator
Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as
GNU grep does.  The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>.
The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives
the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with
colors.  GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to
magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well.

There is one difference from GNU grep: When a binary file matches
without -a, GNU grep does not color the <file> in "Binary file <file>
matches", but we do.

Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored.

For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than
a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable.

Remove the cast to int for `rm_eo - rm_so` since it is not necessary.

812d2a3d61 reset: disallow using --keep when there are unmerged entries
The use case for --keep option is to remove previous commits unrelated
to the current changes in the working tree. So in this use case we are
not supposed to have unmerged entries. This is why it seems safer to
just disallow using --keep when there are unmerged entries.

And this patch changes the error message when --keep was disallowed and
there were some unmerged entries from:

    error: Entry 'file1' would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge.
    fatal: Could not reset index file to revision 'HEAD^'.

to:

    fatal: Cannot do a keep reset in the middle of a merge.

which is nicer.

c2ca1d7 (Allow mailsplit (and hence git-am) to handle mails with CRLF
line-endings, 2009-08-04) fixed "git mailsplit" to help people with
MUA whose output from save-as command uses CRLF as line terminators by
stripping CR at the end of lines.

However, when you know you are feeding output from "git format-patch"
directly to "git am", and especially when your contents have CR at the
end of line, such stripping is undesirable.  To help such a use case,
teach --keep-cr option to "git am" and pass that to "git mailinfo".

73e9da0196 Add an optional argument for --color options
Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based
programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color.  The argument
is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto".  If no argument is given,
"always" is used;  --no-color is an alias for --color=never.  This makes
the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls'
and `grep', and with the git-config color options.  Note that, without
an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before.

To implement this, two internal changes were made:

1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL,
   in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never",
   or "auto".

2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb()
   to the option parsing library.  The callback uses
   git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency
   of parse-options.c.

Jeff King
cc1b8d8bc6 docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhere
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.

This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:

  - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
    that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
    indicate that it was a hierarchy.  I didn't do the same for longer
    paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
    "refs/heads/").

  - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
    unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).

  - In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
    refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

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.

With this patch in place, it is now easy to copy or move notes between

	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

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.

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.]

Change it so that git clean issues

The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was

rest of Git.

Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous

minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files.

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.

ed4a6baad0 Documentation: suggest reset --merge in How Merge Works section
The 'merge' manual suggests 'reset' to cancel a merge at the end
of the Merge Strategies list.  It is more logical to explain this
right before explaining how merge conflicts work, so the daunted
reader can have a way out when he or she needs it most.

While at it, make the advice more dependable and self-contained
by providing the --merge option.

075762085c git-svn: allow subset of branches/tags to be specified in glob spec
For very large projects it is useful to be able to clone a subset of the
upstream SVN repo's branches. Allow for this by letting the left-side of
the branches and tags glob specs contain a brace-delineated comma-separated
list of names. e.g.:

	branches = branches/{red,green}/src:refs/remotes/branches/*

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.

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.

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:

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.

show how the different "git reset" options work depending on the
states of the files in the working tree, the index, HEAD and the
target commit.

525ecd26c6 Remove http.authAny
Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was
originally written, it needed an extra HTTP request for everything when
the feature was in effect, because we didn't reuse curl sessions.

However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme,
not only basic, 2009-11-27) builds on top of an updated codebase that does
reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead
by making this configurable anymore.

f5e025a9d5 Documentation: always respect core.worktree if set
The value of core.worktree in a ".git/config" is honored even when it
differs from the directory that has the ".git" directory as its
subdirectory.  This is likely to be a misconfiguration, so warn users
about it.  Also, drop the part of the documentation that incorrectly
claimed that we ignore such a misconfigured value.

5a518ad467 clone: use --progress to force progress reporting
Follow the argument convention of git-pack-objects, such that a
separate option (--preogress) is used to force progress reporting
instead of -v/--verbose.

-v/--verbose now does not force progress reporting. Make git-clone.txt
say so.

This should cover all the bases in 21188b1 (Implement git clone -v),
which implemented the option to force progress reporting.

Make transport code (viz. transport.c::fetch_refs_via_pack() and

to make it clear that 'git add' is able to delete and to also cover the -p
option.

Reword the description of -u to make it clearer (based on Björn

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.

instead she can rely on the frontend to tell fast-import what it

Also factor out parsing of argv and have it execute when we reach the
first non-option command, or after all commands have been read and
no non-option command has been encountered.

Non-git options are ignored, unrecognised options result in an error.

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='""'
