Previous one warned people upfront to encourage fixing their
environment early, but some people just use repositories and git
tools read-only without making any changes, and in such a case
there is not much point insisting on them having a usable ident.
This round attempts to move the error until either "git-var"
asks for the ident explicitly or "commit-tree" wants to use it.

It appears that some people who did not care about having bogus
names in their own commit messages are bitten by the recent
change to require a sane environment [*1*].
While it was a good idea to prevent people from using bogus
names to create commits and doing sign-offs, the error message
is not very informative. This patch attempts to warn things
upfront and hint people how to fix their environments.

This fixes a bug when importing where a directory gets removed/renamed

We run svn log against a URL without a working copy for the first fetch,
so we end up a log that's sorted from highest to lowest. That's bad, we
always want lowest to highest. Just default to --revision 0:HEAD now if
-r isn't specified for the first fetch.
Also sort the revisions after we get them just in case somebody
accidentally reverses the argument to --revision for whatever reason.
Thanks again to Emmanuel Guerin for helping me find this.

Systems using some uClibc versions do not properly support
iconv stuff. This patch allows Git to be built on those
systems by passing NO_ICONV=YesPlease to make. The only
drawback is mailinfo won't do charset conversion in those
systems.

This adds --date-order to rev-list; it is similar to topo order
in the sense that no parent comes before all of its children,
but otherwise things are still ordered in the commit timestamp
order.
The same flag is also added to show-branch.

This is in the same spirit as an earlier patch for git-commit.
It does an extra ls-files to avoid complaining when a fully
tracked directory name is given on the command line (otherwise
--others restriction would say the pathspec does not match).

This allows you to rewrite history a bit more flexibly, by
separating the other branch name and new branch point. By
default, the new branch point is the same as the tip of the
other branch as before, but you can specify where you graft the
rebased branch onto.
When you have this ancestry graph:
A---B---C topic
/
D---E---F---G master
$ git rebase --onto master~1 master topic
would rewrite the history to look like this:
A'\''--B'\''--C'\'' topic
/
D---E---F---G master

When you say "git commit Documentaiton" to make partial commit
for the files only in that directory, we did not detect that as
a misspelled pathname and attempted to commit index without
change. If nothing matched, there is no harm done, but if the
index gets modified otherwise by having another valid pathspec
or after an explicit update-index, a user will not notice
without paying attention to the "git status" preview.
This introduces --error-unmatch option to ls-files, and uses it
to detect this common user error.

When showing a conflicted merge from index stages and working
tree file, we did not fetch the mode from the working tree,
and mistook that as a deleted file. Also if the manual
resolution (or automated resolution by git rerere) ended up
taking either parent's version, we did not show _anything_ for
that path. Either was quite bad and confusing.

git-bisect reset without an argument would return to master even
if the bisecting started at a non-master branch. This patch makes
it save the original branch name to .git/head-name and restore it
afterwards.
This is also compatible with Cogito and cg-seek, so cg-status will
show that we are seeked on the bisect branch and cg-reset will
properly restore the original branch.
git-bisect start will refuse to work if it is not on a bisect but
.git/head-name exists; this is to protect against conflicts with
other seeking tools.

Earlier, when we switched a branch we used diff-files to show
paths that are dirty in the working tree. But we allow switching
branches with updated index ("read-tree -m -u $old $new" works that
way), and only showing paths that have differences in the working
tree but not paths that are different in index was confusing.
This shows both as modified from the top commit of the branch we
just have switched to.
