4ab90e7a5c fetch/pull doc: untangle meaning of bare <ref>
The documentation erroneously used the same wording for both fetch and
pull, stating that something will be merged even in git-fetch(1).

In addition, saying that "<ref> is equivalent to <ref>:" doesn't
really help anyone who still needs to read manpages.  Clarify what is
actually going on.

a7b102302a git-svn: added an --include-path flag
The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well
as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation
changes and git completion script.

If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you
only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is
difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much
easier to filter for inclusion.

[ew: remove trailing whitespace]

cdfd94837b Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.

The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.

So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

60003340cd clone: allow cloning local paths with colons in them
Usually "foo:bar" is interpreted as an ssh url. This patch allows to
clone from such paths by putting at least one slash before the colon
(i.e. /path/to/foo:bar or just ./foo:bar).

file://foo:bar should also work, but local optimizations are off in
that case, which may be unwanted. While at there, warn the users about
--local being ignored in this case.

af04fa2a78 upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-ids
When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does
not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object
for shallow <obj-id>".  The client may have truncated the history at
the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit
may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this
unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be
sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where
the updated history of the client is cauterised.

The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to
remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it
does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic
because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected
by the server.

9f60f49b92 git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-all
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention
to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"),
the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but
because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is
given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit
"--ignore-removal".  The "--all" option naturally becomes its
negation, "--no-ignore-removal".

fa83a33b22 checkout: Use remote refspecs when DWIMming tracking branches
The DWIM mode of checkout allows you to run "git checkout foo" when there
is no existing local ref or path called "foo", and there is exactly _one_
remote with a remote-tracking branch called "foo". Git will automatically
create a new local branch called "foo" using the remote-tracking "foo" as
its starting point and configured upstream.

For example, consider the following unconventional (but perfectly valid)
remote setup:

	[remote "origin"]
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	[remote "frotz"]
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/*

Case 1: Assume both "origin" and "frotz" have remote-tracking branches called
"foo", at "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo"
respectively. In this case "git checkout foo" should fail, because there is
more than one remote with a "foo" branch.

Case 2: Assume only "frotz" have a remote-tracking branch called "foo". In
this case "git checkout foo" should succeed, and create a local branch "foo"
from "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", using remote branch "foo" from "frotz"
as its upstream.

The current code hardcodes the assumption that all remote-tracking branches
must match the "refs/remotes/$remote/*" pattern (which is true for remotes
with "conventional" refspecs, but not true for the "frotz" remote above).
When running "git checkout foo", the current code looks for exactly one ref
matching "refs/remotes/*/foo", hence in the above example, it fails to find
"refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", which causes it to fail both case #1 and #2.

The better way to handle the above example is to actually study the fetch
refspecs to deduce the candidate remote-tracking branches for "foo"; i.e.
assume "foo" is a remote branch being fetched, and then map "refs/heads/foo"
through the refspecs in order to get the corresponding remote-tracking
branches "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo".
Finally we check which of these happens to exist in the local repo, and
if there is exactly one, we have an unambiguous match for "git checkout foo",
and may proceed.

This fixes most of the failing tests introduced in the previous patch.

Either %<, %> or %>< standing before a placeholder specifies how many
columns (at least as the placeholder can exceed it) it takes. Each
differs on how spaces are padded:

  %< pads on the right (aka left alignment)
  %> pads on the left (aka right alignment)
  %>< pads both ways equally (aka centered)

The (<N>) follows them, e.g. `%<(100)', to specify the number of
columns the next placeholder takes.

However, if '|' stands before (<N>), e.g. `%>|(100)', then the number
of columns is calculated so that it reaches the Nth column on screen.

0aaf62b6e0 dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't scan the work tree twice
'git-status --ignored' still scans the work tree twice to collect
untracked and ignored files, respectively.

fill_directory / read_directory already supports collecting untracked and
ignored files in a single directory scan. However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED
flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it
doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with
--untracked=all doesn't work).

The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored
files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as
DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git.

We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar
to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the
other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does.

In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either
dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move
the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a
common place.

In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read
results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call.

builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add
specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity.

Update API documentation to reflect the changes.

Performance: with this patch, 'git-status --ignored' is typically as fast
as 'git-status'.

Actually the definition of "pathspec" should be moved to a separate

wortwhile when there's more to say about it. So for the time being
just improve the first sentence a little bit; fix the indentation of

b0808819e5 doc/http-backend: match query-string in apache half-auth example
When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can
be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is
best if the server can require authentication for both the
ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This
alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in
the repositories, and means that the client is challenged
for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the
push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had
trouble handling these challenges).

Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires
matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in
Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to
just protect "/git-receive-pack$".  This patch provides the
mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement,
which is preferred.

While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts
so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken
(either by our changes or by changes in Apache).

check-attr and check-ignore have the potential to deadlock callers
which do not read back the output in real-time.  For example, if a
caller writes N paths out and then reads N lines back in, it risks
becoming blocked on write() to check-*, and check-* is blocked on
write back to the caller.  Somebody has to buffer; the pipe buffers
provide some leeway, but they are limited.

check-ignore as a background process, so that files can be
incrementally streamed to STDIN, and for each of these files, STDOUT
will indicate whether that file matched a pattern or not.  (Without
this option, it would be impossible to tell whether the absence of

fdae191003 doc/http-backend: clarify "half-auth" repo configuration
When the http-backend is set up to allow anonymous read but
authenticated write, the http-backend manual suggests
catching only the "/git-receive-pack" POST of the packfile,
not the initial "info/refs?service=git-receive-pack" GET in
which we advertise refs.

This does work and is secure, as we do not allow any write
during the info/refs request, and the information in the ref
advertisement is the same that you would get from a fetch.

However, the configuration required by the server is
slightly more complex. The default `http.receivepack`
setting is to allow pushes if the webserver tells us that
the user authenticated, and otherwise to return a 403
("Forbidden"). That works fine if authentication is turned
on completely; the initial request requires authentication,
and http-backend realizes it is OK to do a push.

But for this "half-auth" state, no authentication has
occurred during the initial ref advertisement. The
http-backend CGI therefore does not think that pushing
should be enabled, and responds with a 403. The client
cannot continue, even though the server would have allowed
it to run if it had provided credentials.

It would be much better if the server responded with a 401,
asking for credentials during the initial contact. But
git-http-backend does not know about the server's auth
configuration (so a 401 would be confusing in the case of a
true anonymous server). Unfortunately, configuring Apache to
recognize the query string and apply the auth appropriately
to receive-pack (but not upload-pack) initial requests is
non-trivial.

The site admin can work around this by just turning on
http.receivepack explicitly in its repositories. Let's
document this workaround.

079b546a29 strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizes
Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text
formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere.

Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the
function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other
callers.

We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and
download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will
now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of
"0 KiB/s".

c4458ecdc5 fast-export: Allow pruned-references in mark file
fast-export can fail because of some pruned-reference when importing a
mark file.

The problem happens in the following scenario:

    $ git fast-export --export-marks=MARKS master
    (rewrite master)
    $ git prune
    $ git fast-export --import-marks=MARKS master

This might fail if some references have been removed by prune
because some marks will refer to no longer existing commits.
git-fast-export will not need these objects anyway as they were no
longer reachable.

We still need to update last_numid so we don't change the mapping
between marks and objects for remote-helpers.
Unfortunately, the mark file should not be rewritten without lost marks
if no new objects has been exported, as we could lose track of the last
last_numid.

1d77d249f9 glossary: extend "detached HEAD" description
When we introduced the concept of "detached HEAD", we made sure that
commands that operate on the history of the current branch "just
work" in that state.  They update the HEAD to point at the new
history without affecting any branch when the HEAD is detached, just
like they update the tip of the "current branch" to point at the new
history when HEAD points at a specific branch.

As this is done as the natural extension for these commands, we did
not, we still do not, and we do not want to repeat "A detached HEAD
is updated without affecting any branch" when describing what each
and every one of these commands that operates "on the current branch"
does.

Add a blanket description to the glossary to cover them instead.
The general principle is that operations to update the branch work
on and affect the HEAD, while operations to update the information
about a branch do not.

2db60670ba rev-parse: clarify documentation for the --verify option
The old version could be read to mean that the argument has to refer
to a valid object, but that is incorrect:

* the object is not necessarily read (e.g., to check for corruption)

* if the argument is a 40-digit string of hex digits, then it is
  accepted whether or not is is the name of an existing object.

So reword the explanation to be less ambiguous.

Also fix the examples involving --verify: to be sure that the argument
refers to a commit (rather than some other kind of object), the
argument has to be suffixed with "^{commit}".  This trick is not
possible in the example involving --default, so don't imply that it is
exactly the same as the previous example.

a6a3f2cc07 peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peeler
A string that names an object can be suffixed with ^{type} peeler to
say "I have this object name; peel it until you get this type. If
you cannot do so, it is an error".  v1.8.2^{commit} asks for a commit
that is pointed at an annotated tag v1.8.2; v1.8.2^{tree} unwraps it
further to the top-level tree object.  A special suffix ^{} (i.e. no
type specified) means "I do not care what it unwraps to; just peel
annotated tag until you get something that is not a tag".

When you have a random user-supplied string, you can turn it to a
bare 40-hex object name, and cause it to error out if such an object
does not exist, with:

	git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{}"

for most objects, but this does not yield the tag object name when
$userstring refers to an annotated tag.

Introduce a new suffix, ^{object}, that only makes sure the given
name refers to an existing object.  Then

	git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{object}"

becomes a way to make sure $userstring refers to an existing object.

This is necessary because the plumbing "rev-parse --verify" is only
about "make sure the argument is something we can feed to get_sha1()
and turn it into a raw 20-byte object name SHA-1" and is not about
"make sure that 20-byte object name SHA-1 refers to an object that
exists in our object store".  When the given $userstring is already
a 40-hex, by definition "rev-parse --verify $userstring" can turn it
into a raw 20-byte object name.  With "$userstring^{object}", we can
make sure that the 40-hex string names an object that exists in our
object store before "--verify" kicks in.

13b8f68c1f log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by funcname
This new syntax finds a funcname matching /pattern/, and then takes from there
up to (but not including) the next funcname.  So you can say

  git log -L:main:main.c

and it will dig up the main() function and show its line-log, provided
there are no other funcnames matching 'main'.

12da1d1f6f Implement line-history search (git log -L)
This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split
it into smaller, easier to understand routines.

The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a
series of line ranges as intervals [a,b).  This is used in two
contexts:

* A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through
  history).
* To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges.

The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff().  It processes the
diff between a commit C and some parent P.  It determines which diff
hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new
ranges for P.

The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order
from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs.  At
branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching.  We will
find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them
TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting).
Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits.

This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery.  This
currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other
simplifications and options to be used.

Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain.  Ideally we
would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features
like word diff.  However, that will require some major reworking of
the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff
for now.

As this was a GSoC project, and has quite some history by now, many
people have helped.  In no particular order, thanks go to

25ed3412f8 Refactor parse_loc
We want to use the same style of -L n,m argument for 'git log -L' as
for git-blame.  Refactor the argument parsing of the range arguments
from builtin/blame.c to the (new) file that will hold the 'git log -L'
logic.

To accommodate different data structures in blame and log -L, the file
contents are abstracted away; parse_range_arg takes a callback that it
uses to get the contents of a line of the (notional) file.

The new test is for a case that made me pause during debugging: the
'blame -L with invalid end' test was the only one that noticed an
outright failure to parse the end *at all*.  So make a more explicit
test for that.

df45cb3ea3 commit-tree: document -S option consistently
Commit ba3c69a9 (commit: teach --gpg-sign option, 2011-10-05) added the
-S option but documented it in the command usage without indicating that
the value is optional and forgot to mention it in the manpage.  Later
commit 098bbdc3 (Add -S, --gpg-sign option to manpage of "git commit",
2012-10-21) documented the option in the porcelain manpage.

Use wording from the porcelain manpage to document the option in the
plumbing manpage.  Also update the commit-tree usage summary to indicate
that the -S value is optional to be consistent with the manpage and with
the implementation.

When asking Git to merge a tag (such as a signed tag or annotated tag),
it will always create a merge commit even if fast-forward was possible.
It's like having --no-ff present on the command line.

It's a difference from the default behavior described in git-merge.txt.
It should be documented as an exception of "FAST-FORWARD MERGE" section
and "--ff" option description.
