This message is designed to help new users understand what
has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not
help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters

This configuration option allows systematically rewriting fetch-only URLs
to push-capable URLs when used with push. For instance:
[url "ssh://example.org/"]
pushInsteadOf = "git://example.org/"
This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently
push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.
Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and
test cases (both that pushInsteadOf applies to push, that it does not
apply to fetch, and that it is ignored when pushURL is already defined).

People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.
This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof. This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.
Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.
The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes. The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors. It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.
Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix. Or you could call it a new feature. The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.
Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have. People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.
A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.
It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.
As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work

Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to

GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to
defeat the pager started by git grep. The value of the config
variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would
colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected
works. The default is to not pass any option, because the external
grep command could be a program without color support.
Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to

Pushing into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare
repository can be dangerous; the HEAD then loses sync with
the index and working tree, and it looks in the receiving
repo as if the pushed changes have been reverted in the
index (since they were never there in the first place).
This patch adds a safety valve that checks for this
condition and either generates a warning or denies the
update. We trigger the check only on a non-bare repository,
since a bare repo does not have a working tree (and in fact,
pushing to the HEAD branch is a common workflow for
publishing repositories).
The behavior is configurable via receive.denyCurrentBranch,
defaulting to "warn" so as not to break existing setups
(though it may, after a deprecation period, switch to
"refuse" by default). For users who know what they are doing
and want to silence the warning (e.g., because they have a
post-receive hook that reconciles the HEAD and working
tree), they can turn off the warning by setting it to false
or "ignore".

In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.
Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do

lstat/stat functions in Cygwin are very slow, because they try to emulate
some *nix things that Git does not actually need. This patch adds Win32
specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin.
This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases
it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary
for two reasons:
- Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is
not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be
used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it
causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we
always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths.
- Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using
one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls
back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links.
The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for
common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name
does not exist.
Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible,
it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one
situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository

provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.

* jc/better-conflict-resolution:
Fix AsciiDoc errors in merge documentation
git-merge documentation: describe how conflict is presented
checkout --conflict=<style>: recreate merge in a non-default style
checkout -m: recreate merge when checking out of unmerged index
git-merge-recursive: learn to honor merge.conflictstyle
merge.conflictstyle: choose between "merge" and "diff3 -m" styles
rerere: understand "diff3 -m" style conflicts with the original
rerere.c: use symbolic constants to keep track of parsing states
xmerge.c: "diff3 -m" style clips merge reduction level to EAGER or less
xmerge.c: minimum readability fixups
xdiff-merge: optionally show conflicts in "diff3 -m" style
xdl_fill_merge_buffer(): separate out a too deeply nested function
checkout --ours/--theirs: allow checking out one side of a conflicting merge
checkout -f: allow ignoring unmerged paths when checking out of the index
Conflicts:
Documentation/git-checkout.txt
builtin-checkout.c
builtin-merge-recursive.c
t/t7201-co.sh
* maint:
Remove empty directories in recursive merge
Documentation: clarify the details of overriding LESS via core.pager
Conflicts:
builtin-merge-recursive.c
The process of overriding the default LESS options using only
git-specific methods is rather obscure. Show the end user how
to do it in a step-by-step manner.

It is off(0) by default, to avoid scaring people unless they asked to.
If set to a non-0 value, wait for that amount of deciseconds before
running the corrected command.
Suggested by Junio, so he has a chance to hit Ctrl-C.

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.
"git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
"git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
"git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

This teaches "git merge-file" to honor merge.conflictstyle configuration
variable, whose value can be "merge" (default) or "diff3".
