b586744a86 test: skip clean-up when running under --immediate mode
Some tests try to be too careful about cleaning themselves up and
do

    test_expect_success description '
        set-up some test refs and/or configuration &&
        test_when_finished "revert the above changes" &&
	the real test
    '

Which is nice to make sure that a potential failure would not have
unexpected interaction with the next test. This however interferes when
"the real test" fails and we want to see what is going on, by running the
test with --immediate mode and descending into its trash directory after
the test stops. The precondition to run the real test and cause it to fail
is all gone after the clean-up procedure defined by test_when_finished is
done.

Update test_run_ which is the workhorse of running a test script
called from test_expect_success and test_expect_failure, so that we do not
run clean-up script defined with test_when_finished when a test that is
expected to succeed fails under the --immediate mode.

534cea3fce "branch -d" can remove more than one branches
Since 03feddd (git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names, 2005-10-13),
"git branch -d" can take more than one branch names to remove.

The documentation was correct, but the usage string was not.

34840db834 rebase: do not print lots of usage hints after an obvious error message
When a non-existent branch was specified to be rebased, the complete
usage information is printed after the error message that carries the
relevant piece of information:

   $ git rebase master topci
   fatal: no such branch: topci
   usage: git rebase [-i] [options] [--onto <newbase>] [<upstream>] [<branch>]
      or: git rebase [-i] [options] --onto <newbase> --root [<branch>]
      or: git-rebase [-i] --continue | --abort | --skip

   Available options are
   [30 lines of usage stripped]

The error message was introduced recently by 4ac5356c (rebase: give a
better error message for bogus branch, 2011-01-27), and the result was
acceptable because the usage text was just two lines. But 45e2acf3
(rebase: define options in OPTIONS_SPEC, 2011-02-28) made things worse
because the usage text is now 35 lines.

Just drop the usage information because it does not add value to the
error message.

27269fc5f2 Documentation/i18n: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
As explained in v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work around em-dash handling in newer
AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23), if double dashes in names of commands are not
escaped, AsciiDoc renders them as em dashes.

While fixing that, spell the command name as "git sh-i18n--envsubst"
(2 words) instead of emphasizing the name of the binary (one
hyphenated name) and format it in italics.

The double-dash in the title should be escaped, too, to avoid spurious
em dashes in the header:

  .TH "GIT\-SH\-I18N\(emENVSUB" "1" "06/26/2011" "Git 1\&.7\&.6" "Git Manual"

AsciiDoc 8.6.4 with DocBook XSL 1.76.0-RC1 copes fine and writes
"GIT\-SH\-I18N\-\-ENVSUB" even without this change, which is why it
was missed before.

565e135a1e Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs.  Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.

AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML).  Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).

AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement.  Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters.  The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain.  (This patch will not
change that.)

The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc.  Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name.  The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

List of lines to fix found by grepping manpages for "(em".

5ad6d387f1 git-instaweb: Check that correct config file exists for (re)start
Currently start/restart does not generate any configuration files for
spawning a new instance.  This means that

  $ git instaweb --http=<server> --start

might pick up stale 'httpd.conf' file for a different web server
(e.g. for default lighttpd when requesting apache2).

This commit changes that, and makes git-instaweb generate web server
config file and/or gitweb config file if don't exists.

This required naming config files after the name of web server
(alternate solution would be to somehow mark for which web server was
config file generated).

Note that web servers that embed configuration in server script file,
namely webrick and plackup, and which delete "$conf" in their *_conf
function, would have their config (server script) always regenerated.

Note: this commit introduces a bit of code repetition (but only a few
lines).

c0175f92c7 git-instaweb: Move all actions at the end of script
As a nice side-effect now the order of parameters does not matter:

  $ git instaweb --httpd=apache2 --start

is now (after this patch) the same as

  $ git instaweb --start --httpd=apache2

Before this commit --start, --stop, --restart (and their subcommand
versions start, stop, restart) exited immediately.

This is preparatory work for making start/restart check that correct
configuration is set up; this change was required to have access in
start_httpd to requested web browser etc.

2cd9de3e18 submodule add: always initialize .git/config entry
When "git submodule add $path" is run to add a subdirectory $path to the
superproject, and $path is already the top of the working tree of the
submodule repository, the command created submodule.$path.url entry in the
configuration file in the superproject. However, when adding a repository
$URL that is outside the respository of the superproject to $path that
does not exist (yet) with "git submodule add $URL $path", the command
forgot to set it up.

The user is expressing the interest in the submodule and wants to keep a
checkout, the "submodule add" command should consistently set up the
submodule.$path.url entry in either case.

As a result "git submodule init" can't simply skip the initialization of
those submodules for which it finds an url entry in the git./config
anymore. That lead to problems when adding a submodule (which now sets the
url), add the "update" setting to .gitmodules and expect init to copy that
into .git/config like it is done in t7406. So change init to only then
copy the "url" and "update" entries when they don't exist yet in the
.git/config and do nothing otherwise.

ccee60862b submodule sync: do not auto-vivify uninteresting submodule
Earlier 33f072f (submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty
directories, 2010-10-08) attempted to fix a bug where "git submodule sync"
command does not update the URL if the current superproject does not have
a checkout of the submodule.

However, it did so by unconditionally registering submodule.$name.url to
every submodule in the project, even the ones that the user has never
showed interest in at all by running 'git submodule init' command. This
caused subsequent 'git submodule update' to start cloning/updating submodules
that are not interesting to the user at all.

Update the code so that the URL is updated from the .gitmodules file only
for submodules that already have submodule.$name.url entries, i.e. the
ones the user has showed interested in having a checkout.

787513027a stash: Add --include-untracked option to stash and remove all untracked files
The --include-untracked option acts like the normal "git stash save" but
also adds all untracked files in the working directory to the stash and then
calls "git clean --force --quiet" to restore the working directory to a
pristine state.

This is useful for projects that need to run release scripts. With this
option, the release scripts can be from the main working directory so one
does not have to maintain a "clean" directory in parallel just for
releasing. Basically the work-flow becomes:

   $ git tag release-1.0
   $ git stash --include-untracked
   $ make release
   $ git clean -f
   $ git stash pop

"git stash" alone is not enough in this case--it leaves untracked files
lying around that might mess up a release process that expects everything to
be very clean or might let a release succeed that should actually fail (due
to a new source file being created that hasn't been committed yet).

0aceb22097 git-remote.txt: avoid sounding as if loose refs are the only ones in the world
It was correct to say "The file $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master stores the
commit object name at the tip of the master branch" in the older days,
but not anymore, as refs can be packed into $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file.

Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and
"symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation
detail.

This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote
documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/
file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around
remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

While at it, reorganize search-related code a bit, moving invoking of git

This has the following advantages:

  * gitweb now shows an error page if there was unknown search type
    (evaluate_and_validate_params checks only that it looks sanely);
    remember that we shouldn't call die_error after any output.

  * git_search_message is now safe agains die_error in parse_commits
    (though this is very unlikely).

  * gitweb now can check errors while invoking git commands and show

84054f79de clone: accept config options on the command line
Clone does all of init, "remote add", fetch, and checkout
without giving the user a chance to intervene and set any
configuration. This patch allows you to set config options
in the newly created repository after the clone, but before
we do any other operations.

In many cases, this is a minor convenience over something
like:

  git clone git://...
  git config core.whatever true

But in some cases, it can bring extra efficiency by changing
how the fetch or checkout work. For example, setting
line-ending config before the checkout avoids having to
re-checkout all of the contents with the correct line
endings.

It also provides a mechanism for passing information to remote
helpers during a clone; the helpers may read the git config
to influence how they operate.

of strings. Using the "--no-<var>" form will reset the list
to empty.

f77bccaeba config: use strbuf_split_str instead of a temporary strbuf
This saves an allocation and copy, and also fixes a minor

2f1d9e2b93 strbuf: allow strbuf_split to work on non-strbufs
The strbuf_split function takes a strbuf as input, and
outputs a list of strbufs. However, there is no reason that
the input has to be a strbuf, and not an arbitrary buffer.

This patch adds strbuf_split_buf for a length-delimited
buffer, and strbuf_split_str for NUL-terminated strings.

c5d6350bdc config: avoid segfault when parsing command-line config
We already check for an empty key on the left side of an
equals, but we would segfault if there was no content at
all.

1c2c9bee1b config: die on error in command-line config
The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We
collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the
various config files and carefully pass them back up. But
the two odd things are:

  1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file.
     In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if
     fopen() fails on the file.

  2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error
     return at all, but will continue if git_config reports
     an error.

When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it
dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to
be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the
file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed
config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error
in parsing a typo like:

  git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean

will continue the command, ignoring the config the user
tried to give.

5bf6529aaa fix "git -c" parsing of values with equals signs
If you do something like:

  git -c core.foo="value with = in it" ...

we would split your option on "=" into three fields and
throw away the third one. With this patch we correctly take
everything after the first "=" as the value (keys cannot
have an equals sign in them, so the parsing is unambiguous).

28fc3a6857 strbuf_split: add a max parameter
Sometimes when splitting, you only want a limited number of
fields, and for the final field to contain "everything
else", even if it includes the delimiter.

This patch introduces strbuf_split_max, which provides a
"max number of fields" parameter; it behaves similarly to
perl's "split" with a 3rd field.

The existing 2-argument form of strbuf_split is retained for
compatibility and ease-of-use.

7b97730b76 upload-archive: allow user to turn off filters
Some tar filters may be very expensive to run, so sites do
not want to expose them via upload-archive. This patch lets
users configure tar.<filter>.remote to turn them off.

By default, gzip filters are left on, as they are about as
expensive as creating zip archives.

0e804e0993 archive: provide builtin .tar.gz filter
This works exactly as if the user had configured it via:

  [tar "tgz"]
	command = gzip -cn
  [tar "tar.gz"]
	command = gzip -cn

but since it is so common, it's convenient to have it
builtin without the user needing to do anything.

767cf4579f archive: implement configurable tar filters
It's common to pipe the tar output produce by "git archive"
through gzip or some other compressor. Locally, this can
easily be done by using a shell pipe. When requesting a
remote archive, though, it cannot be done through the
upload-archive interface.

This patch allows configurable tar filters, so that one
could define a "tar.gz" format that automatically pipes tar
output through gzip.
