076c98372e log: add "log.follow" configuration variable
People who work on projects with mostly linear history with frequent
whole file renames may want to always use "git log --follow" when
inspecting the life of the content that live in a single path.

Teach the command to behave as if "--follow" was given from the
command line when log.follow configuration variable is set *and*
there is one (and only one) path on the command line.

b1c8a11c80 send-email: allow multiple emails using --cc, --to and --bcc
Accept a list of emails separated by commas in flags --cc, --to and
--bcc.  Multiple addresses can already be given by using these options
multiple times, but it is more convenient to allow cutting-and-pasting
a list of addresses from the header of an existing e-mail message,
which already lists them as comma-separated list, as a value to a
single parameter.

The following format can now be used:

    $ git send-email --to='Jane <jdoe@example.com>, mike@example.com'

Remove the limitation imposed by 79ee555b (Check and document the
options to prevent mistakes, 2006-06-21) which rejected every argument
with comma in --cc, --to and --bcc.

0d1a151783 checkout: retire --ignore-other-worktrees in favor of --force
As a safeguard, checking out a branch already checked out by a different
worktree is disallowed. This behavior can be overridden with
--ignore-other-worktrees, however, this option is neither obvious nor
particularly discoverable. As a common safeguard override, --force is
more likely to come to mind. Therefore, overload it to also suppress the
check for a branch already checked out elsewhere.

1eb07d829f worktree: add: auto-vivify new branch when <branch> is omitted
As a convenience, when <branch> is omitted from "git worktree <path>
<branch>" and neither -b nor -B is used, automatically create a new
branch named after <path>, as if "-b $(basename <path>)" was specified.
Thus, "git worktree add ../hotfix" creates a new branch named "hotfix"
and associates it with new worktree "../hotfix".

b979d95027 checkout: retire --to option
Now that "git worktree add" has achieved user-facing feature-parity with
"git checkout --to", retire the latter.

Move the actual linked worktree creation functionality,
prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers, verbatim from checkout.c to
worktree.c.

This effectively reverts changes to checkout.c by 529fef2 (checkout:
support checking out into a new working directory, 2014-11-30) with the
exception of merge_working_tree() and switch_branches() which still
require specialized knowledge that a the checkout is occurring in a
newly-created linked worktree (signaled to them by the private
GIT_CHECKOUT_NEW_WORKTREE environment variable).

fc56361f58 worktree: introduce "add" command
The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git
worktree add". As a first step, introduce a bare-bones git-worktree
"add" command along with documentation. At this stage, "git worktree
add" merely invokes "git checkout --to" behind the scenes, but an
upcoming patch will move the actual functionality
(checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers) to worktree.c.

3a59e5954e Documentation/i18n.txt: clarify character encoding support
As a "distributed" VCS, git should better define the encodings of its core
textual data structures, in particular those that are part of the network
protocol.

That git is encoding agnostic is only really true for blob objects. E.g.
the 'non-NUL bytes' requirement of tree and commit objects excludes
UTF-16/32, and the special meaning of '/' in the index file as well as
space and linefeed in commit objects eliminates EBCDIC and other non-ASCII
encodings.

Git expects bytes < 0x80 to be pure ASCII, thus CJK encodings that partly
overlap with the ASCII range are problematic as well. E.g. fmt_ident()
removes trailing 0x5C from user names on the assumption that it is ASCII
'\'. However, there are over 200 GBK double byte codes that end in 0x5C.

UTF-8 as default encoding on Linux and respective path translations in the
Mac and Windows versions have established UTF-8 NFC as de-facto standard
for path names.

Update the documentation in i18n.txt to reflect the current status-quo.

28c7b1f7b7 fast-import: add a get-mark command
It is sometimes useful for importers to be able to read the SHA-1
corresponding to a mark that they have created via fast-import. For
example, they might want to embed the SHA-1 into the commit message of
a later commit. Or it might be useful for internal bookkeeping uses,
or for logging.

Add a "get-mark" command to "git fast-import" that allows the importer
to ask for the value of a mark that has been created earlier.

3707995960 git rebase -i: warn about removed commits
Check if commits were removed (i.e. a line was deleted) and print
warnings or stop git rebase depending on the value of the
configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.

This patch gives the user the possibility to avoid silent loss of
information (losing a commit through deleting the line in this case)
if he wants.

Add the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.
    - When unset or set to "ignore", no checking is done.
    - When set to "warn", the commits are checked, warnings are
      displayed but git rebase still proceeds.
    - When set to "error", the commits are checked, warnings are
      displayed and the rebase is stopped.
      (The user can then use 'git rebase --edit-todo' and
      'git rebase --continue', or 'git rebase --abort')

rebase.missingCommitsCheck defaults to "ignore".

This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would

cd94c6f91e fsck: git receive-pack: support excluding objects from fsck'ing
The optional new config option `receive.fsck.skipList` specifies the path
to a file listing the names, i.e. SHA-1s, one per line, of objects that
are to be ignored by `git receive-pack` when `receive.fsckObjects = true`.

This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them
(e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object).

The intended use case is for server administrators to inspect objects
that are reported by `git push` as being too problematic to enter the
repository, and to add the objects' SHA-1 to a (preferably sorted) file
when the objects are legitimate, i.e. when it is determined that those
problematic objects should be allowed to enter the server.

2becf00ff7 fsck: support demoting errors to warnings
We already have support in `git receive-pack` to deal with some legacy
repositories which have non-fatal issues.

Let's make `git fsck` itself useful with such repositories, too, by
allowing users to ignore known issues, or at least demote those issues
to mere warnings.

Example: `git -c fsck.missingEmail=ignore fsck` would hide
problems with missing emails in author, committer and tagger lines.

In the same spirit that `git receive-pack`'s usage of the fsck machinery
differs from `git fsck`'s – some of the non-fatal warnings in `git fsck`
are fatal with `git receive-pack` when receive.fsckObjects = true, for
example – we strictly separate the fsck.<msg-id> from the
receive.fsck.<msg-id> settings.

2a514ed805 parse-options: move unsigned long option parsing out of pack-objects.c
The unsigned long option parsing (including 'k'/'m'/'g' suffix
parsing) is more widely applicable.  Add support for OPT_MAGNITUDE
to parse-options.h and change pack-objects.c use this support.

The error behavior on parse errors follows that of OPT_INTEGER.  The
name of the option that failed to parse is reported with a brief
message describing the expect format for the option argument and

6a951937ae cat-file: add --batch-all-objects option
It can sometimes be useful to examine all objects in the
repository. Normally this is done with "git rev-list --all
--objects", but:

  1. That shows only reachable objects. You may want to look
     at all available objects.

  2. It's slow. We actually open each object to walk the
     graph. If your operation is OK with seeing unreachable
     objects, it's an order of magnitude faster to just
     enumerate the loose directories and pack indices.

You can do this yourself using "ls" and "git show-index",
but it's non-obvious.  This patch adds an option to
"cat-file --batch-check" to operate on all available
objects (rather than reading names from stdin).

This is based on a proposal by Charles Bailey to provide a
separate "git list-all-objects" command. That is more
orthogonal, as it splits enumerating the objects from
getting information about them. However, in practice you
will either:

  a. Feed the list of objects directly into cat-file anyway,
     so you can find out information about them. Keeping it
     in a single process is more efficient.

  b. Ask the listing process to start telling you more
     information about the objects, in which case you will
     reinvent cat-file's batch-check formatter.

Adding a cat-file option is simple and efficient. And if you
really do want just the object names, you can always do:

  git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' --batch-all-objects

fc4937c372 cat-file: add --buffer option
We use a direct write() to output the results of --batch and
--batch-check. This is good for processes feeding the input
and reading the output interactively, but it introduces
measurable overhead if you do not want this feature. For
example, on linux.git:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all | cut -d' ' -f1 >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize)' \
          <objects >/dev/null
  real    0m5.440s
  user    0m5.060s
  sys     0m0.384s

This patch adds an option to use regular stdio buffering:

  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize)' \
          --buffer <objects >/dev/null
  real    0m4.975s
  user    0m4.888s

323598387d pkt-line: support tracing verbatim pack contents
When debugging the pack protocol, it is sometimes useful to
store the verbatim pack that we sent or received on the
wire. Looking at the on-disk result is often not helpful for
a few reasons:

  1. If the operation is a clone, we destroy the repo on
     failure, leaving nothing on disk.

  2. If the pack is small, we unpack it immediately, and the
     full pack never hits the disk.

  3. If we feed the pack to "index-pack --fix-thin", the
     resulting pack has the extra delta bases added to it.

We already have a GIT_TRACE_PACKET mechanism for tracing
packets. Let's extend it with GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE to dump the
verbatim packfile.

There are a few other positive fallouts that come from
rearranging this code:

 - We currently disable the packet trace after seeing the
   PACK header, even though we may get human-readable lines
   on other sidebands; now we include them in the trace.

 - We currently try to print "PACK ..." in the trace to
   indicate that the packfile has started. But because we
   disable packet tracing, we never printed this line. We
   will now do so.

ef45bb1f81 ll-merge: pass the original path to external drivers
The interface to custom low-level merge driver was modeled to be
capable of driving programs like "merge" (from the RCS suite) that
can produce result solely by looking at three files that hold
contents of common ancestor, ours and theirs.  The information we
feed to the external drivers via the command line placeholders %O,
%A, and %B were designed to be purely about contents by giving
names of the temporary files that hold these variants without
exposing the original pathname.  No matter where the result goes,
merging the same three variants should produce the same result,
contents is the king, that is the Git way.

The external driver interface, however, is meant to help people to
step outside the Git worldview, and sometimes people want to know
the final path that the resulting merged contents would be stored
in.  Expose this to the external drivers via a new placeholder %P.

eb2a8d9ed3 pull: handle git-fetch's options as well
While parsing the command-line arguments, git-pull stops parsing at the
first unrecognized option, assuming that any subsequent options are for
git-fetch, and can thus be kept in the shell's positional parameters
list, so that it can be passed to git-fetch via the expansion of "$@".

However, certain functions in git-pull assume that the positional
parameters do not contain any options:

* error_on_no_merge_candidates() uses the number of positional
  parameters to determine which error message to print out, and will
  thus print the wrong message if git-fetch's options are passed in as
  well.

* the call to get_remote_merge_branch() assumes that the positional
  parameters only contains the optional repo and refspecs, and will
  thus silently fail if git-fetch's options are passed in as well.

* --dry-run is a valid git-fetch option, but if provided after any
  git-fetch options, it is not recognized by git-pull and thus git-pull
  will continue to run the merge or rebase.

Fix these bugs by teaching git-pull to parse git-fetch's options as
well. Add tests to prevent regressions.

This removes the limitation where git-fetch's options have to come after
git-merge's and git-rebase's options on the command line. Update the
documentation to reflect this.
