git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when
tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches
git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by
allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

An undocumented mis-feature in git-difftool is that it allows you
to specify a default difftool by setting GIT_MERGE_TOOL.
This behavior was never documented and was included as an
oversight back when git-difftool was maintained outside of git.
git-mergetool never honored GIT_MERGE_TOOL so neither should
git-difftool.

In commit 56752391 (Make "git gc" pack all refs by default,
2007-05-24), 'git gc' was changed to run pack-refs by default
Versions before v1.5.1.2 cannot clone repos with packed refs over
http, and versions before v1.4.4 cannot handled packed refs at
all, but more recent git should have no problems. Try to make
this more clear in the git-config manual.

If one had multiple URLs configured for remote with previous one
having forced helper but the subsequent one not, like:
url = foo::bar://baz
url = ssh://example/example.git
Then the subsequent URL is passed to foo helper, which isn't
correct. Fix it to be parsed normally by resetting foreign VCS
name before parsing the URL protocol.

The git-merge manpage was written in terms of merging a "remote",
which is no longer the case: you merge local or remote-tracking
branches; pull is for actual remotes.
Adjust the manpage accordingly. We refer to the arguments as
"commits", and change instances of "remote" to "other" (where branches
are concerned) or "theirs" (where conflict sides are concerned).
Remove the single reference to "pulling".

Given pathspecs that share a common prefix, ls-files optimized its call
into recursive directory reader by starting at the common prefix
directory.
If you have a directory "t" with an untracked file "t/junk" in it, but the
top-level .gitignore file told us to ignore "t/", this resulted in:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
t/junk
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/junk
t/junk
$ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
junk
We could argue that you are overriding the ignore file by giving a
patchspec that matches or being in that directory, but it is somewhat
unexpected. Worse yet, these behave differently:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/ .
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
t/junk
This patch changes the optimization so that it notices when the common
prefix directory that it starts reading from is an ignored one.

When you have "t" directory that is marked as ignored in the top-level
.gitignore file (or $GIT_DIR/info/exclude), running
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
from the top-level correctly excludes files in "t" directory, but
any of the following:
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
$ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
would show untracked files in that directory.

When rewriting commits on a topic branch, sometimes it is easier to

The previous patch didn't parse "rebase --onto A...B" correctly when A
isn't an empty string. It also tried to be careful to notice a case in
which there are more than one merge bases, but forgot to give --all option

'make git.s' to debug code generation of main() fails because
git.c makes use of preprocessor symbols such as GIT_VERSION that
are not set. make does not generate code listings for
builtin_help.c, exec_cmd.c, builtin-init-db.c, config.c, http.c,
or http-walker.c either, for the same reason.

'make var.s' fails to regenerate an assembler listing if var.c
has not changed but a header it includes has:
$ make var.s
CC var.s
$ touch cache.h
$ make var.s
$
The corresponding problem for 'make var.o' does not occur because
the Makefile lists dependencies for each .o target explicitly;
analogous dependency rules for the .s targets are not present.
Rather than add some, it seems better to force 'make' to always
regenerate assembler listings, since the assembler listing
targets are only invoked when specifically requested on the make
command line.

uname might not be the best way to determine the default location for

Recall that MSYS bash converts POSIX style absolute paths to Windows style
absolute paths. Unfortunately, it converts a program argument that begins
with a double-quote and otherwise looks like an absolute POSIX path, but
in doing so, it strips everything past the second double-quote[*]. This
case is triggered in the two test scripts. The work-around is to place the
Windows style path returned by $(pwd) between the quotes to avoid the path
conversion.
[*] It is already bogus that a conversion is even considered when a program
argument begins with a double-quote because it cannot be an absolute POSIX
path.

The %.o: %.S pattern rule should depend on GIT-CFLAGS to avoid
trouble when ALL_CFLAGS changes.
The pattern only applies to one file (ppc/sha1ppc.S) and that
file does not use any #ifdefs, so leaving the dependency out is
probably harmless. Nevertheless, it is safer to include the
dependency in case future code's behavior does depend on the
