"git log -F -E --grep='<ere>'" failed to use the given <ere>

fdb4d27158 Merge branch 'jl/submodule-add-by-name'
If you remove a submodule, in order to keep the repository so that
"git checkout" to an older commit in the superproject history can
resurrect the submodule, the real repository will stay in $GIT_DIR
of the superproject.  A later "git submodule add $path" to add a
different submodule at the same path will fail.  Diagnose this case
a bit better, and if the user really wants to add an unrelated
submodule at the same path, give the "--name" option to give it a
place in $GIT_DIR of the superproject that does not conflict with
the original submodule.

d21240fafa Merge branch 'jl/submodule-rm'
"git rm submodule" cannot blindly remove a submodule directory as
its working tree may have local changes, and worse yet, it may even
have its repository embedded in it.  Teach it some special cases
where it is safe to remove a submodule, specifically, when there is
no local changes in the submodule working tree, and its repository
is not embedded in its working tree but is elsewhere and uses the
gitfile mechanism to point at it.

059b37934c string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
This function was added in f103f95b11 in
the erroneous expectation that it would be used in the
reimplementation of longest_ancestor_length().  But it turned out to
be easier to use a function specialized for comparing path prefixes
(i.e., one that knows about slashes and root paths) than to prepare
the paths in such a way that a generic string prefix comparison
function can be used.  So delete string_list_longest_prefix() and its
documentation and test cases.

option, but other refs - or anything else that is not a symref - is not.

proper symref, and then invoking delete_ref() on it with the REF_NODEREF
flag.

f3f47a1e8d status: add --long output format option
You can currently set the output format to --short or
--porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it
already. However, you may want to override an alias that
uses "--short" to get back to the default.

This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently
we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as
"the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum
to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between
the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these
conditions:

  1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we
     currently default to turning on the porcelain mode.
     With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL
     termination with the long mode, but it does not support
     it. So we can just complain and die.

  2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we
     default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in
     when "--long" is given, too.

82dce998c2 attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore
.gitattributes and .gitignore share the same pattern syntax but has
separate matching implementation. Over the years, ignore's
implementation accumulates more optimizations while attr's stays the
same.

This patch reuses the core matching functions that are also used by
excluded_from_list. excluded_from_list and path_matches can't be
merged due to differences in exclude and attr, for example:

* "!pattern" syntax is forbidden in .gitattributes.  As an attribute
  can be unset (i.e. set to a special value "false") or made back to
  unspecified (i.e. not even set to "false"), "!pattern attr" is unclear
  which one it means.

* we support attaching attributes to directories, but git-core
  internally does not currently make use of attributes on
  directories.

727b6fc3ed log --grep: accept --basic-regexp and --perl-regexp
When we added the "--perl-regexp" option (or "-P") to "git grep", we
should have done the same for the commands in the "git log" family,
but somehow we forgot to do so.  This corrects it, but we will
reserve the short-and-sweet "-P" option for something else for now.

Also introduce the "--basic-regexp" option for completeness, so that
the "last one wins" principle can be used to defeat an earlier -E
option, e.g. "git log -E --basic-regexp --grep='<bre>'".  Note that
it cannot have the short "-G" option as the option is to grep in the
patch text in the context of "log" family.

73b0898d0d Teach "git submodule add" the --name option
"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This
was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work
tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of
the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the
submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a
different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as
that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository
instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the
wrong repository.

Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the
submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to
remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it
makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule
and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the
same reason).

To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of
the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the
call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already
know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

293ab15eea submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with
this error:

	fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory

This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule
without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history
contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the
user from possible loss of data.

But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git
directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory
which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work
tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so
let's teach git to do so.

Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from
the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory
is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index.

Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual
checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced).
For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the
index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't
ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed
expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed).
That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too.

Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees
top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the
repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a
message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or
even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this
change.

af9c9f9713 submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a
unspecified action word for 'status' action.  This is a UI mistake
that leads to a confusing behaviour.  A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.

    $ git submodule show
    error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
    Did you forget to 'git add'?

Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand.  "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.

Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than
promoting laziness and confusion.

31b808a032 clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the
usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch
refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will
end up grabbing all the other branches.

Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead
to correct this.

That means:
If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the
fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to.
If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch
specified in the "--branch" option.
If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all
refs of the cloned repository.
If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then
it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

8093ae8854 Documentation/git-filter-branch: Move note about effect of removing commits
The note that explains that changes introduced by removed commits are
preserved should be placed directly after the paragraph that describes
such commits removal.  Otherwise the reference to "the commits" appears
out of context.

Also the big example that follows "Consider this history" is about
rewriting part of the history DAG.  Move the paragraph that
describes the operation close to it.

1959bf6430 string_list API: document what "sorted" means
The recent work on using string_list to represent the list of refs
that matched with the refs on the other side during fetch heavily
depends on the sort order by string_list's implementation, and
changing string_list will break it.  Document that it uses strcmp()
order, at least for now.

People who are not used to working with shell may intellectually

but still have a hard time visualizing the difference between

that textual diff is not produced, and the contents will not go

ca92e59e30 teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes
place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided
revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk
HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result
(unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they
will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that
introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about
--no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to
allow things like

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

to show all refs in order by commit date.

But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such
as

 <command producing revisions in order> |
       git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin

To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort
up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting
to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

1452bd64f1 branch -v: align even when branch names are in UTF-8
Branch names are usually in ASCII so they are not the problem. The
problem most likely comes from "(no branch)" translation, which is
in UTF-8 and makes display-width calculation just wrong.  Clarify
this by renaming the field "len" in struct ref_item to "width", as
it stores the display-width and is used to compute the width of the
screen needed to show the names of all the branches, and compute the
display width using utf8_strwidth(), not byte-length with strlen().

Update document to mention the fact that we may want ref names in
UTF-8. Encodings that produce invalid UTF-8 are safe as utf8_strwidth()
falls back to strlen(). The ones that incidentally produce valid UTF-8
sequences will cause misalignment.

Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD,
as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did
they do since I forked).  But the current parser interprets ".."  as an
empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the
filesystem, we get this annoying output:

  $ cd Documentation/howto
  $ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area.

6183d826ba branch: introduce --set-upstream-to
The existing --set-uptream option can cause confusion, as it uses the
usual branch convention of assuming a starting point of HEAD if none
is specified, causing

    git branch --set-upstream origin/master

to create a new local branch 'origin/master' that tracks the current
branch. As --set-upstream already exists, we can't simply change its
behaviour. To work around this, introduce --set-upstream-to which
accepts a compulsory argument indicating what the new upstream branch
should be and one optinal argument indicating which branch to change,
defaulting to HEAD.

The new options allows us to type

    git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master

to set the current branch's upstream to be origin's master.

d9aa361043 man: git pull -r is a short for --rebase
Letting the "--rebase" option squat on the short-and-sweet single
letter option "-r" was an unintended accident and was not even
documented, but the short option seems to be already used in the
wild. Let's document it so that other options that begin with "r"
would not be tempted to steal it.

93741e4a91 daemon: --access-hook option
The --access-hook option to "git daemon" specifies an external
command to be run every time a client connects, with

 - service name (e.g. "upload-pack", etc.),
 - path to the repository,
 - hostname (%H),
 - canonical hostname (%CH),
 - ip address (%IP),
 - tcp port (%P)

as its command line arguments.  The external command can decide to
decline the service by exiting with a non-zero status (or to allow it
by exiting with a zero status).  It can also look at the $REMOTE_ADDR
and $REMOTE_PORT environment variables to learn about the requestor
when making this decision.

The external command can optionally write a single line to its
standard output to be sent to the requestor as an error message when
it declines the service.

5fafce0b78 check-docs: get documented command list from Makefile
The current code tries to get a list of documented commands
by doing "ls Documentation/git*txt" and culling a bunch of
special cases from the result. Looking for "git-*.txt" would
be more accurate, but would miss a few commands like
"gitweb" and "gitk".

Fortunately, Documentation/Makefile already knows what this
list is, so we can just ask it. Annoyingly, we still have to
post-process its output a little, since make will print
extra cruft like "GIT-VERSION-FILE is up to date" to stdout.

Now that our list is accurate, we can remove all of the ugly
special-cases.

c6632eba5a command-list: mention git-credential-* helpers
These commands were never added to the command-list. Adding
them makes "make check-docs" run without complaint.
While we're at it, let's capitalize the first letter of
their one-line summaries to match the rest of the git
manpages.

The credential-cache--daemon command is somewhat special. It
is already ignored by check-docs because it contains a "--",
marking it as a non-interesting implementation detail. It
is, in fact, documented, but since the documentation
basically just redirects you to a more appropriate command
anyway, let's explicitly omit it so it is not mentioned in
git(1).

c2a7f5d438 docs: monospace listings in docbook output
When asciidoc converts a listing block like:

----------------------
$ git log --merge
----------------------

it marks it to be displayed in a monospace font. This works
fine when generating HTML output. However, when generating
docbook output, we override the expansion of a listingblock
to work around bugs in some versions of the docbook
toolchain. Our override did not mark the listingblock with
the "monospaced" class.

The main output that uses docbook as an intermediate format
is the manpages. We didn't notice any issue there because
the monospaced class seems to be ignored when generating
roff from the docbook manpages.

However, when generating texinfo to make info pages, docbook
does respect this class. The resulting texinfo output
properly uses "@example" blocks to display the listing in
this case. Besides possibly looking prettier in some texinfo
backends,  one important effect is that the monospace font
suppresses texinfo's expansion of "--" and "---" into
en-dashes and em-dashes.  With the current code, the example
above ends up looking like "git log -merge", which is
confusing and wrong.

It is an implementation detail that a new tag is created by adding a
file in the .git/refs/tags directory.  The only thing the user needs
to know is that a "git tag" creates a ref in the refs/tags namespace,
and without "-f", it does not overwrite an existing tag.

Inspired by a report from 乙酸鋰 <ch3cooli@gmail.com>; I think I

84befcd0a4 grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting
The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.

Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.

When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.

14bf2d58bc am: indicate where a failed patch is to be found
If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know
where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can
do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat"
to see what it tried to change, etc.)  The input to "am" may have
contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME
encoded, and knowing what the user fed to "am" does not help very
much for this purpose.

Also introduce advice.amworkdir configuration to allow people who
learned where to look to squelch this message.

76759c7dff git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA.  When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.

Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".

As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode.  Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode.  When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.

The unicode decomposition causes many problems:

- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
  often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
  from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
  to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
  filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.

- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
  compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
  precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
  be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
  be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
  consistency in general).

- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
  precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
  readdir().

NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.

As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can

 - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and

 - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
   precomposed form,

to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form.  This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.

The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv().  The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.

The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line.  It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.

When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".

The user needs to activate this feature manually.  She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

Allow --root to be specified to rebase -i without --onto, making it
possible to edit and re-order all commits right back to the root(s).

If there is a conflict to be resolved when applying the first change,
the user will expect a sane index and working tree to get sensible
behaviour from git-diff and friends, so create a sentinel commit with an
empty tree to rebase onto. Automatically squash the sentinel with any
commits rebased directly onto it, so they end up as root commits in
their own right and retain their authorship and commit message.

Implicitly use rebase -i for non-interactive rebase of --root without
an --onto argument now that rebase -i can correctly do this.

To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

 1. to create such a file,

 2. and add configuration variable to point at it.

Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.

And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config).  The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

b98878edef git-cherry-pick.txt: clarify the use of revision range notation
When given a set of commits, cherry-pick will apply the changes for
all of them. Specifying a simple range will also work as expected.

This can lead the user to think that

    git cherry-pick A B..C

may apply A and then B..C, but that is not what happens.

Instead the revs are given to a single invocation of rev-list, which
will consider A and C as positive revs and B as a negative one.  The
commit A will not be used if it is an ancestor of B.

Add a note about this and add an example with this particular
syntax, which has shown up on the list a few times.

Thus, information about the updated advice.statushints key are added

run tests on each commit in the resulting history.  This can be done
by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the
command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits.

By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add
these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history.  To work
well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of
each run of "fixup" and "squash".

fe77b416c7 docs: fix cross-directory linkgit references
Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.

We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.

We only have to modify the html linkgit definition.  For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:

  1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
     manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
     the linked manpage

  2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,
     only html

bf17126211 docs: drop asciidoc7compatible flag
When we made the switch to supporting asciidoc 8 in 4c7100a
(Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8, 2007-06-14), we were
able to leave most of the documentation intact by defining
asciidoc7compatible.

Since commit 6cf378f (docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal,
2012-04-26), we don't support versions of asciidoc older
than 8.4.1, which is when inline literals were introduced.
Therefore there is not much point in keeping our
documentation compatible with asciidoc 7.

So we are now free to drop the asciidoc7compatible flag and
update the documentation itself to assume asciidoc8.
Fortunately, doing the latter is very easy; we weren't using
any of the constructs impacted by asciidoc7compatible, so
there are no changes to make.

The reason is somewhat subtle. The asciidoc7compatible
affects only super/sub-scripts ("^" and "~") and index
terms. We don't use the latter at all. Nor we do we use the
former, but we did have to protect them from accidental
expansion in constructs like "rev^1". However, all of our
uses of "~" and "^" are either in code blocks (which are
rendered literally), or inside backticks. Prior to 6cf378f,
backticks were not inline literals, and needed proper
quoting. But post-6cf378f, we don't have to worry whether we
are using the old or new rules, as those characters are not
interpreted at all in either case.

I verified that the result of "make install-html
install-man" is identical before and after this patch on
asciidoc 8.6.7.

ec84e069af config doc: remove confusion about relative GIT_DIR from FILES section
From the FILES section of the git-config(1) manual:

	$GIT_DIR/config::
		Repository specific configuration file. (The filename is
		of course relative to the repository root, not the working
		directory.)

That's confusing because $GIT_DIR really is relative to the working
directory.

	$ GIT_DIR=.git GIT_EDITOR='pwd; echo editing'
	$ export GIT_DIR GIT_EDITOR
	$ git config --edit --local
	/home/jrn/src/git/Documentation
	editing .git/config

It turns out that the comment is a remnant from older days when the
heading said ".git/config" (which is indeed relative to the top of the
worktree).

It was only when the heading was changed to refer more precisely to
<git dir>/config (see v1.5.3.2~18, AsciiDoc tweak to avoid leading
dot, 2007-09-14) that the parenthesis stopped making sense.  Remove
it.

2f70587502 ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly message
When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message.
While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity
functions are being called, this code is triggered behind
the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g.,
receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog;
the current message is hard to distinguish from an
authentication error).  Let's switch to something that gives
a little more context.

While we're at it, we can factor out all of the
cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a
wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make
it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for
the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway,
and it lets us make an even more specific error message.

The current message also fails to mention errno. While the
usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not
exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these
problems.  Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain
untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be
set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return
ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases
in our wrapper.

8587ead78a drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emails
When we pull the user's name from the GECOS field of the
passwd file (or generate an email address based on their
username and hostname), we put the result into a
static buffer. While it's extremely unlikely that anybody
ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their
parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the
error cases in our code.

Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify
the code and drop some error messages from the documentation
that have confused some users.

The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies
with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly.
There are a few exceptions:

  - copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code
    reduction (since they no longer have to manage the
    string length manually)

  - git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of
    the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple
    times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of
    just adding

Note that there is still one length limitation: the
gethostname interface requires us to provide a static
buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the
hostname.

Implement this functionality by creating and inserting extra grep_pat
structures for patterns consisting of multiple lines when appending to
the pattern lists.  For simplicity, all pattern strings are duplicated.
The original pattern is truncated in place to make it contain only the
first line.

only described it in the 'git submodule' command documentation but
gitmodules is the more natural place to look.

A short reference in the 'git submodule' documentation should be
sufficient since the details can now be found in the documentation to
gitmodules.

d4a6bf1fb6 status: respect "-b" for porcelain format
There is no reason not to, as the user has to explicitly ask
for it, so we are not breaking compatibility by doing so. We
can do this simply by moving the "show_branch" flag into
the wt_status struct. As a bonus, this saves us from passing
it explicitly, simplifying the code.

b8a2486f15 index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolving
This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base

dc801e71a7 diff --stat: use less columns for change counts
Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on
the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means
that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames
and the graph.

The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for
"Bin XXX -> YYY bytes".

If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files,
change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other
way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then
"Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +-
part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files.
This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty
column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change.

Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output.
This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of
up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added
to check the graph alignment when a binary file change and text file
change of more than 999 lines are committed together.

3f8eccbe16 column: add dense layout support
Normally all cells (and in turn columns) share the same width. This
layout mode can waste space because one long item can stretch our all
columns.

With COL_DENSE enabled, column width is calculated indepdendently. All
columns are shrunk to minimum, then it attempts to push cells of the
last row over to the next column with hope that everything still fits
even there's one row less. The process is repeated until the new layout
cannot fit in given width any more, or there's only one row left
(perfect!).

Apparently, this mode consumes more cpu than the old one, but it makes
better use of terminal space. For layouting one or two screens, cpu
usage should not be detectable.

This patch introduces option handling code besides layout modes and
enable/disable to expose this feature as "dense". The feature can be
turned off by specifying "nodense".

6cf378f0cb docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.

It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:

  1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
     contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
     of `master{tilde}1`.

  2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
     tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
     quoting.

This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).

Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:

  - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
    literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")

  - some code examples used the right-arrow character
    instead of '->' because they failed to quote

  - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
    HTML contained a bogus snippet like:

      <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>

    which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
    sections of the page.

  - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
    literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)

  - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
    erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
    author@example.com

  - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
    the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".

  - using "prime" notation like:

      commit `C` and its replacement `C'`

    confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
    the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
    to be inside matched quotes

  - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
    asterisks. In particular,

      `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`

    properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
    literally passed through the backslash in the second
    case.

90e1818f9a git-rebase: add keep_empty flag
Add a command line switch to git-rebase to allow a user the ability to specify
that they want to keep any commits in a series that are empty.

When git-rebase's type is am, then this option will automatically keep any
commit that has a tree object identical to its parent.

This patch changes the default behavior of interactive rebases as well.  With
this patch, git-rebase -i will produce a revision set passed to
git-revision-editor, in which empty commits are commented out.  Empty commits
may be kept manually by uncommenting them.  If the new --keep-empty option is
used in an interactive rebase the empty commits will automatically all be
uncommented in the editor.

67804c2731 push: document the future default change for push.default (matching -> simple)
It is too early to start warning loudly about the future default change
in favor of 'simple', since many users use different versions of Git, and
would be harmed if we advised them to explicitely set
'push.default=simple' when using old versions of Git.

Still, we want to document the upcomming change so that:

* Users who may be affected by the change get one more chance to know it
  in advance.

* We actually commit to changing the default, and avoid repeating past
  errors.

b55e677522 push: introduce new push.default mode "simple"
When calling "git push" without argument, we want to allow Git to do
something simple to explain and safe. push.default=matching is unsafe
when used to push to shared repositories, and hard to explain to
beginners in some contexts. It is debatable whether 'upstream' or
'current' is the safest or the easiest to explain, so introduce a new
mode called 'simple' that is the intersection of them: push to the
upstream branch, but only if it has the same name remotely. If not, give
an error that suggests the right command to push explicitely to
'upstream' or 'current'.

A question is whether to allow pushing when no upstream is configured. An
argument in favor of allowing the push is that it makes the new mode work
in more cases. On the other hand, refusing to push when no upstream is
configured encourages the user to set the upstream, which will be
beneficial on the next pull. Lacking better argument, we chose to deny
the push, because it will be easier to change in the future if someone
shows us wrong.

b27cfb0d8d git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option
The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty
commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which
<commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal.  By default commits which are
non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current
history are filtered out.  This option allows us to override that behavior and
include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history.

Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly.
Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git
commit was run.  The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and
the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and
therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick
advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty).  With this patch however, such
redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless
--keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically
applied as empty commits.

bf73fc212a difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'
Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files,

easily go out of sync.

This commit teaches difftool the '--tool-help' option, which:
  - Reads the list of valid tools from 'mergetools/*'
  - Determines which of them are actually installed
  - Determines which are capable of diffing (i.e. not just a merge tool)
  - Prints the resulting list for the user

d57e490af3 fast-import doc: cat-blob and ls responses need to be consumed quickly
If fast-import's command pipe and the frontend's cat-blob/ls response
pipe are both filled, there can be a deadlock.  Luckily all existing
frontends consume any pending cat-blob/ls responses completely before
writing the next command.

Document the requirements so future frontend authors and users can be
spared from the problem, too.  It is not always easy to catch that
kind of bug by testing.

To set the scene, add some words of explanation to help the novice
understand that "cat-blob" and "ls" output are meant for consumption
by the frontend.

06804c76e8 git p4: import/export of labels to/from p4
The existing label import code looks at each commit being
imported, and then checks for labels at that commit. This
doesn't work in the real world though because it will drop
labels applied on changelists that have already been imported,
a common pattern.

This change adds a new --import-labels option. With this option,
at the end of the sync, git p4 gets sets of labels in p4 and git,
and then creates a git tag for each missing p4 label.

This means that tags created on older changelists are
still imported.

Tags that could not be imported are added to an ignore
list.

The same sets of git and p4 tags and labels can also be used to
derive a list of git tags to export to p4. This is enabled with
--export-labels in 'git p4 submit'.

078b895fef fetch-pack: new --stdin option to read refs from stdin
If a remote repo has too many tags (or branches), cloning it over the
smart HTTP transport can fail because remote-curl.c puts all the refs
from the remote repo on the fetch-pack command line. This can make the
command line longer than the global OS command line limit, causing
fetch-pack to fail.

This is especially a problem on Windows where the command line limit is
orders of magnitude shorter than Linux. There are already real repos out
there that msysGit cannot clone over smart HTTP due to this problem.

Here is an easy way to trigger this problem:

	git init too-many-refs
	cd too-many-refs
	echo bla > bla.txt
	git add .
	git commit -m test
	sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
	tag=$(perl -e 'print "bla" x 30')
	for i in `seq 50000`; do
		echo $sha refs/tags/$tag-$i >> .git/packed-refs
	done

Then share this repo over the smart HTTP protocol and try cloning it:

	$ git clone http://localhost/.../too-many-refs/.git
	Cloning into 'too-many-refs'...
	fatal: cannot exec 'fetch-pack': Argument list too long

50k tags is obviously an absurd number, but it is required to
demonstrate the problem on Linux because it has a much more generous
command line limit. On Windows the clone fails with as little as 500
tags in the above loop, which is getting uncomfortably close to the
number of tags you might see in real long lived repos.

This is not just theoretical, msysGit is already failing to clone our
company repo due to this. It's a large repo converted from CVS, nearly
10 years of history.

Four possible solutions were discussed on the Git mailing list (in no
particular order):

1) Call fetch-pack multiple times with smaller batches of refs.

This was dismissed as inefficient and inelegant.

2) Add option --refs-fd=$n to pass a an fd from where to read the refs.

This was rejected because inheriting descriptors other than
stdin/stdout/stderr through exec() is apparently problematic on Windows,
plus it would require changes to the run-command API to open extra
pipes.

3) Add option --refs-from=$tmpfile to pass the refs using a temp file.

This was not favored because of the temp file requirement.

4) Add option --stdin to pass the refs on stdin, one per line.

In the end this option was chosen as the most efficient and most
desirable from scripting perspective.

There was however a small complication when using stdin to pass refs to
fetch-pack. The --stateless-rpc option to fetch-pack also uses stdin for
communication with the remote server.

If we are going to sneak refs on stdin line by line, it would have to be
done very carefully in the presence of --stateless-rpc, because when
reading refs line by line we might read ahead too much data into our
buffer and eat some of the remote protocol data which is also coming on
stdin.

One way to solve this would be to refactor get_remote_heads() in
fetch-pack.c to accept a residual buffer from our stdin line parsing
above, but this function is used in several places so other callers
would be burdened by this residual buffer interface even when most of
them don't need it.

In the end we settled on the following solution:

If --stdin is specified without --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read
the refs from stdin one per line, in a script friendly format.

However if --stdin is specified together with --stateless-rpc,
fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin in packetized format
(pkt-line) with a flush packet terminating the list of refs. This way we
can read the exact number of bytes that we need from stdin, and then
get_remote_heads() can continue reading from the same fd without losing
a single byte of remote protocol data.

This way the --stdin option only loses generality and scriptability when
used together with --stateless-rpc, which is not easily scriptable
anyway because it also uses pkt-line when talking to the remote server.

4e0ce4dfea var doc: default editor and pager are configurable at build time
Some distributors customize the fallback pager and editor used by git
commands when the user has not indicated a preference via the
core.editor/core.pager configuration or GIT_EDITOR, GIT_PAGER, VISUAL,
EDITOR, and PAGER environment variables, and git's build system
provides DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR makefile settings to help
them with that (see v1.6.6-rc0~24, 2009-11-20).

Unfortunately those compile-time settings do not affect the
documentation, so the uninitiated user who tries to understand git by
reading the git-var(1) manpage can easily be confused when git falls
back to 'nano' and 'more' instead of 'vi' and 'less'.  Even if the
distributor patches the distributed docs to reflect the new default,
the user may read the official documentation from the git-htmldocs
repository online and be confused in the same way.

Add a few words stating that the defaults are customizable at
compile time to make the behavior crystal clear.

eb21c732d6 push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option
When using this option git will search for all submodules that
have changed in the revisions to be send. It will then try to
push the currently checked out branch of each submodule.

This helps when a user has finished working on a change which
involves submodules and just wants to push everything in one go.

bcc0a3ea38 Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequencially
Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the
revision walking api. We add a reset_revision_walk() which clears the
used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks.

We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing
revision walks. This is done to avoid surprises if future code wants to
call these functions more than once during the processes lifetime.

36384c979d Documentation: improve description of GIT_EDITOR and preference order
Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section,
which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along
with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all
places where editor can be set and also their preference order.

Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed
at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the
mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this.

Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback
editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.

f25950f347 push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward errors
Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:

1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.

2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.

3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.

Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.
