The current description in the pull man page does not say much more
than that “git pull” is fetch + merge. Though that is all a person
needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about
what those commands do for new readers.
Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs.
Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge),
we can tone down the warning against that a bit.
Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people
might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that
it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that
their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet. Or worse, verify that
their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but
then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5
is only in 1.7.0!). So keep the warning.
With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

The parser tried to clean up the object flags it used while finding
commits with matching string, but was not doing a very good job at it.
This caused "checkout -b new ':/token'", which internally tries to parse
':/token' twice as an object name, to fail when the commit in question
was reachable from only one ref.
The mask bits given to pop_most_recent_commit(&list, MASK) means "I have
already been on the list to be processed, so please do not place me again
even if I am found to be a parent of some other commit on the list." So
mark them when we add them to the list at the beginning.

The dcommit command fails if an otherwise unmodified file has
been touched in the working directory:
Cannot dcommit with a dirty index. Commit your changes
first, or stash them with `git stash'.
This happens because "git diff-index" reports a difference
between the index and the filesystem:
:100644 100644 d00491...... 000000...... M file
The fix is to run "git update-index --refresh" before
"git diff-index" as is done in git-rebase and
git-rebase--interactive before "git diff-files".
This changes dcommit to display a list of modified files before
exiting.
Also add a similar test case for "git svn rebase".

Running the tests with --quiet under a TAP harness will always fail,
since a TAP harness always needs actual test output to go along with
the plan that's being emitted.
Change the test-lib.sh to ignore the --quiet option under
HARNESS_ACTIVE to work around this. Then users that have --quiet in
their GIT_TEST_OPTS can run tests under prove(1) without everything
breaking.

gitolite's contrib/gitweb/gitweb.conf includes:
$ENV{GL_USER} = $cgi->remote_user || "gitweb";
which is useful for setups where a user has to be authenticated
to access certain repos. Perhaps other typical configurations
change per session in other ways, too.
v1.7.2-rc2~6 (gitweb: Move evaluate_gitweb_config out of run_request,
2010-07-05) broke such configurations for a speedup, by loading
the configuration once per FastCGI process.
Probably in the end there should be a way to specify in the
configuration whether a particular installation wants the speedup or
the flexibility. But for now it is easier to just undo the relevant
change.
This partially reverts commit 869d58813b.

the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary

into a single space.
This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since
47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval

On Windows the Control-C binding is used to copy and is mapped to the Tk
virtual event <<Copy>>. In the initial git-gui dialog this is also bound
as an accelerator for the Clone menu item. The effect is that both bindings
run, copying the text but resetting the clone page or switching to the clone
page when the user tries to copy text from one of the entry fields.
This patch avoids this by using Control-L instead for Windows only.

- 80ccaa7 (upload-pack: Move the revision walker into a separate function.)
do_rev_list was introduced with create_full_pack argument
- 21edd3f (upload-pack: Run rev-list in an asynchronous function.)
do_rev_list was now called by start_async, create_full_pack was
passed by rev_list.data
- f0cea83 (Shift object enumeration out of upload-pack)
rev_list.data was now zero permanently. Creating full pack was
done by passing --all to pack-objects
- ae6a560 (run-command: support custom fd-set in async)
rev_list.data = 0 was found out redudant and got rid of.
