be1b055877 Documentation: Fix mark-up of lines with more than one tilde
The manual pages of cherry-pick and revert had examples with two revisions
on the same line in the examples section, that looked like this:

    git cherry-pick master~4 master~2::

Unfortunately, this is taken as a mark-up to make the part between two
tildes, "4 master", subscript.  Use {tilde} to make it explicit that we
do want ~ characters in these places (backslash does not help).

f4b05a4947 Make the tab width used for whitespace checks configurable
A new whitespace "rule" is added that sets the tab width to use for
whitespace checks and fix-ups and replaces the hard-coded constant 8.

Since the setting is part of the rules, it can be set per file using
.gitattributes.

The new configuration is backwards compatible because older git versions
simply ignore unknown whitespace rules.

6b3020a241 add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for add.ignore-errors
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.

What convention?  Glad you asked.

	The section name indicates the affected subsystem.

	The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
	an unbound set of things to set the value for.

	The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
	this knob.

	The section and variable names can be broken into
	words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
	the reader.  These word breaks are not significant
	at the level of code, since the section and variable
	names are not case sensitive.

The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like

	[add]
		ignoreErrors

does not have any effect.  Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.

777f80d742 fast-import: Allow cat-blob requests at arbitrary points in stream
The new rule: a "cat-blob" can be inserted wherever a comment is
allowed, which means at the start of any line except in the middle of
a "data" command.

This saves frontends from having to loop over everything they want to

advance.

85c62395b1 fast-import: let importers retrieve blobs
New objects written by fast-import are not available immediately.
Until a checkpoint has been started and finishes writing the pack
index, any new blobs will not be accessible using standard git tools.

So introduce a new way to access them: a "cat-blob" command in the
command stream requests for fast-import to print a blob to stdout or a
file descriptor specified by the argument to --cat-blob-fd.  The value
for cat-blob-fd cannot be specified in the stream because that would
be a layering violation: the decision of where to direct a stream has
to be made when fast-import is started anyway, so we might as well
make the stream format is independent of that detail.

Output uses the same format as "git cat-file --batch".

Thanks to Sverre Rabbelier and Sam Vilain for guidance in designing
the protocol.

4980fffb2c fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" command
The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored.  Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.

Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works.  Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.

9037026d34 unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match directories"
Matching index entries against an excludes file currently has two
problems.

First, there's no function to do it.  Code paths (like sparse
checkout) that wanted to try it would iterate over index entries and
for each index entry pass that path to excluded_from_list().  But that
is not how excluded_from_list() works; one is supposed to feed in each
ancester of a path before a given path to find out if it was excluded
because of some parent or grandparent matching a

  bigsubdirectory/

pattern despite the path not matching any .gitignore pattern directly.

Second, it's inefficient.  The excludes mechanism is supposed to let
us block off vast swaths of the filesystem as uninteresting; separately
checking every index entry doesn't fit that model.

Introduce a new function to take care of both these problems.  This
traverses the index in depth-first order (well, that's what order the
index is in) to mark un-excluded entries.

Maybe some day the in-core index format will be restructured to make
this sort of operation easier.  Or maybe we will want to try some
binary search based thing.  The interface is simple enough to allow
all those things.  Example:

  clear_ce_flags(the_index.cache, the_index.cache_nr,
                 CE_CANDIDATE, CE_CLEARME, exclude_list);

would clear the CE_CLEARME flag on all index entries with
CE_CANDIDATE flag and not matched by exclude_list.

79c461d5b1 docs: default to more modern toolset
When the ASCIIDOC8 and ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF knobs were built,
many people were still on asciidoc 7 and using older
versions of docbook-xsl. These days, even the almost
2-year-old Debian stable needs these knobs turned.

So let's turn them by default. The new knobs ASCIIDOC7 and
ASCIIDOC_ROFF can be used to get the old behavior if people
are on older systems.

dc01f59d21 fast-import: treat SIGUSR1 as a request to access objects early
It can be tedious to wait for a multi-million-revision import.
Unfortunately it is hard to spy on the import because fast-import
works by continuously streaming out objects, without updating the pack
index or refs until a checkpoint command or the end of the stream.

So allow the impatient operator to request checkpoints by sending a
signal, like so:

	killall -USR1 git-fast-import

When receiving such a signal, fast-import would schedule a checkpoint
to take place after the current top-level command (usually a "commit"
or "blob" request) finishes.

Caveats: just like ordinary checkpoint commands, such requests slow
down the import.  Switching to a new pack at a suboptimal moment is
also likely to result in a less dense initial collection of packs.
That's the price.

35d2fffdb8 Provide 'git merge --abort' as a synonym to 'git reset --merge'
Teach 'git merge' the --abort option, which verifies the existence of
MERGE_HEAD and then invokes 'git reset --merge' to abort the current
in-progress merge and attempt to reconstruct the pre-merge state.

The reason for adding this option is to provide a user interface for
aborting an in-progress merge that is consistent with the interface
for aborting a rebase ('git rebase --abort'), aborting the application
of a patch series ('git am --abort'), and aborting an in-progress notes
merge ('git notes merge --abort').

The patch includes documentation and testcases that explain and verify
the various scenarios in which 'git merge --abort' can run. The
testcases also document the cases in which 'git merge --abort' is
unable to correctly restore the pre-merge state (look for the '###'
comments towards the bottom of t/t7609-merge-abort.sh).

a6a09095a0 git notes merge: Add another auto-resolving strategy: "cat_sort_uniq"
This new strategy is similar to "concatenate", but in addition to
concatenating the two note candidates, this strategy sorts the resulting
lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent to
applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the two note candidates.

This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based format where one
wants to avoid duplicate lines in the merge result.

Note that if either of the note candidates contain duplicate lines _prior_
to the merge, these will also be removed by this merge strategy.

The patch also contains tests and documentation for the new strategy.

6abb3655ef git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 2/2
When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been
resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes
ref with the resolved notes.

This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should
run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command
finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from
part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a
merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit.

In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three
things:

- The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes.
  This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL.
- The unmerged notes. These are already stored in
  .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1.
- The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now
  stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF.

In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details
to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements
"git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply
removing the files/directory described above.

FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove
the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge
have been successfully finalized.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.

- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Fix nonsense sentence in --commit description

809f38c8ab git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 1/2
Conflicts (that are to be resolved manually) are written into a special-
purpose working tree, located at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. Within this
directory, conflicting notes entries are stored (with conflict markers
produced by ll_merge()) using the SHA1 of the annotated object. The
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory will only contain the _conflicting_
note entries. The non-conflicting note entries (aka. the partial merge
result) are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 of the resulting commit
is written to 'result_sha1'. The return value from notes_merge() is -1.

The user is told to edit the files within the .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE
directory in order to resolve the conflicts.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the correct setup
of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE.

The next part will recombine the partial notes merge result with the
resolved conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE to produce the complete
merge result.

9bad723369 allow command-specific pagers in pager.<cmd>
A user may want different pager settings or even a
different pager for various subcommands (e.g., because they
use different less settings for "log" vs "diff", or because
they have a pager that interprets only log output but not
other commands).

This patch extends the pager.<cmd> syntax to support not
only boolean to-page-or-not-to-page, but also to specify a
pager just for a specific command.

c1a3c3640d Submodules: Add the "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config option
The new boolean "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config option controls the
behavior for "git fetch" and "git pull". It specifies if these commands
should recurse into submodules and fetch new commits there too and can be
set separately for each submodule.

In the .gitmodules file "submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules" entries
are read before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in
.git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the
user to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting
upstream set reasonable defaults for those users who don't have special
needs.

This configuration can be overridden by the command line option
"--[no-]recurse-submodules" of "git fetch" and "git pull".

7dce19d374 fetch/pull: Add the --recurse-submodules option
Until now you had to call "git submodule update" (without -N|--no-fetch
option) or something like "git submodule foreach git fetch" to fetch
new commits in populated submodules from their remote.

This could lead to "(commits not present)" messages in the output of
"git diff --submodule" (which is used by "git gui" and "gitk") after
fetching or pulling new commits in the superproject and is an obstacle for
implementing recursive checkout of submodules. Also "git submodule
update" cannot fetch changes when disconnected, so it was very easy to
forget to fetch the submodule changes before disconnecting only to
discover later that they are needed.

This patch adds the "--recurse-submodules" option to recursively fetch
each populated submodule from the url configured in the .git/config of the
submodule at the end of each "git fetch" or during "git pull" in the
superproject. The submodule paths are taken from the index.

The hidden option "--submodule-prefix" is added to "git fetch" to be able
to print out the full paths of nested submodules.

db54c8e710 git-send-email.perl: make initial In-Reply-To apply only to first email
When an initial --in-reply-to is supplied, make it apply only to the
first message; --[no-]chain-reply-to setting are honored by second and
subsequent messages; this is also how the git-format-patch option with
the same name behaves.

Moreover, when $initial_reply_to is asked to the user interactively it
is asked as the "Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the _first_
email", this makes the user think that the second and subsequent
patches are not using it but are considered as replies to the first
message or chained according to the --[no-]chain-reply setting.

Look at the v2 series in the illustration to see what the new behavior
ensures:

       (before the patch)          |      (after the patch)
 [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did... | [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did...
   [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests  |   [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests
   [PATCH 2/2] Implementation      |   [PATCH 2/2] Implementation
   [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll |   [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll
   [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up         |     [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up
   [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests        |     [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests
   [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation   |     [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation

This is the typical behaviour we want when we send a series with cover
letter in reply to some discussion, the new patch series should appear
as a separate subtree in the discussion.

Also update the documentation on --in-reply-to to describe the new
behavior.

6f02a5a33a Documentation: point to related commands from gitignore
A frequently asked question on #git is how to stop tracking a file
that is mistakenly tracked by git.  A frequently attempted strategy is
to add such files to .gitignore.

Thus one might imagine that the gitignore documentation could be a
good entry point for 'git rm' documentation.  Add some
cross-references in this vein.

While at it, move a reference to update-index --assume-unchanged from
the DESCRIPTION to lower down on the page.  This way, the methodical
reader can benefit from first learning what excludes files do, then
how they relate to other git facilities.

This patch takes a whole new approach, which is to describe

how things can go wrong.

Since the size of the text is getting quite long, it also
splits this out into an "editing patches" section. This

already splits out the interactive mode description.

60aa9cf8f3 Documentation: document show -s
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option
as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but
the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree
manual.

The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit:

	git show -s rev

Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the
'git show' examples section.  This is kind of a cop-out, since it
would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper,
which says:

	The command takes options applicable to the git
	diff-tree command to control how the changes the
	commit introduces are shown.

	This manual page describes only the most frequently
	used options.

Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

Change push.default's description to add hyphens between values and
descriptions to make the manpage easier to read.  The html version is
readable either way.

Change status.showUntrackedFiles to make item descriptions be
sentences and to use the same asciidoc format as push.default.  The
only visual change is the additions of "."

2794ad5244 fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the root
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".

For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)

Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.

This patch changes that, by allowing

	M 040000 <tree id> ""

as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it.  For example,

	M 040000 4b825dc642 ""

is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of

	git read-tree 4b825dc642

5c47e1c7c5 repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/object
In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'),
git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the
zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much
time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if
the user changed the zlib compression level).

However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories,
so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are
going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be
interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this
reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F
option that replaces the current -f.

Measurements taken using this patch on a current clone of git.git
indicate a 17% decrease in time being made available to users:

git repack -Adf  34.84s user 0.56s system 145% cpu 24.388 total
git repack -AdF  38.79s user 0.56s system 133% cpu 29.394 total

909a5494f8 userdiff.c: add builtin fortran regex patterns
This adds fortran xfuncname and wordRegex patterns to the list of builtin
patterns.  The intention is for the patterns to be appropriate for all
versions of fortran including 77, 90, 95.  The patterns can be enabled by
adding the diff=fortran attribute to the .gitattributes file for the
desired file glob.

This also adds a new macro named IPATTERN which is just like the PATTERNS
macro except it sets the REG_ICASE flag so that case will be ignored.

The test code in t4018 and the docs were updated as appropriate.

f506b8e8b5 git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text
Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the
"git diff" family of commands.  This limits the diff queue to filepairs
whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the
given regexp.  Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that
has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as
such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a
patch text.

Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit
that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and
the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be
used as the top-level Porcelain feature.

The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are
running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output
(e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch").  I think we _could_ cache the
result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to
the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair
structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to
the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages
when it is available) and it may not be worth it.

4e5dd044c6 merge-recursive: options to ignore whitespace changes
Add support for merging with ignoring line endings (specifically
--ignore-space-at-eol) when using recursive merging.  This is
as a strategy-option, so that you can do:

	git merge --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>

and

	git rebase --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>

This can be useful for coping with line-ending damage (Xcode 3.1 has a
nasty habit of converting all CRLFs to LFs, and VC6 tends to just use
CRLFs for inserted lines).

The only option I need is ignore-space-at-eol, but while at it,
include the other xdiff whitespace options (ignore-space-change,
ignore-all-space), too.

58a1ece478 merge-recursive --patience
Teach the merge-recursive strategy a --patience option to use the
"patience diff" algorithm, which tends to improve results when
cherry-picking a patch that reorders functions at the same time as
refactoring them.

To support this, struct merge_options and ll_merge_options gain an
xdl_opts member, so programs can use arbitrary xdiff flags (think
"XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE") in a git-aware merge.

git merge and git rebase can be passed the -Xpatience option to
use this.

work this around.  While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the
description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among
other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body

In v1.6.2.2~6^2~4 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes
and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22), backslashes were
introduced before ~ to avoid introducing unintentional
superscripts.  In one paragraph there is only one ~, though,
making that not a candidate for quoting, and asciidoc 8.5.8
passes the backslash through so the man page says "\~10..master".

Maybe there is an asciidoc behavior change involved.

In any case, we should replace tildes with a {tilde} entity which
means the same thing regardless of where it is found.

438ded457b Documentation: quoting trouble in "git rm" discussion
The current output (with Asciidoc 8.5.2) seems a bit broken:

	given two directories ‘d` and d2, there is a difference
	between using git rm 'd*’ and ‘git rm 'd/\*\’`, as the
	former will also remove all of directory d2.

In other words, the markup parses as

	given two directories << d` and _d2_, there is a difference
	between using _git rm 'd* >>_ and << git rm 'd/\*\ >> `.

I suspect there is an asciidoc bug involved (why is ' a candidate
closing-quote mark when it is preceded by a backslash?) but with
all the meanings of ` and ' involved I do not want to track it
down.  Better to use unambiguous {asterisk} and {apostrophe}
entities.

130ab8ab9c Eliminate “Finished cherry-pick/revert” message
When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.

Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification
is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).

 $ git cherry-pick ..topic

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of
a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed.

With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where
the commit came from.  So drop the “Finished” message.

e6c111b4c0 unpack_trees: group error messages by type
When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
  (i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),

Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.

As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

cd035b1cef rebase -i: add exec command to launch a shell command
The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.

The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".

This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like

  exec >"file    name with many spaces"

in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the
whitespace layout.

be4f2b408e Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config setting
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check
for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time
by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous
(< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk
caches are constantly overloaded.

To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it
is per-submodule.

This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default
(porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the
default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore
setting and by the --ignore-submodules option.

Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic:
multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously
set flags.

While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore.

302ad7a993 Submodules: Use "ignore" settings from .gitmodules too for diff and status
The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries
before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config
will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer
to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream
set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

aee9c7d654 Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and status
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.

The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.

Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.

This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):

"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.

"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
	the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
	to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
	value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
	all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.

"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
	a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
	as modified.

"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
	submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
	and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
	as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
	"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
	so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

7610fa57e6 merge-recursive --renormalize
Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the
merge.renormalize configuration.  The --no-renormalize option can
be used to override it in the negative.

So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:

	git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch

or

	git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch

or

	git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize

The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands.  And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

73cf7f713d ll-merge: make flag easier to populate
ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few
advantages:

 - options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while
   an option struct passed by pointer cannot;

 - callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options,
   while an option struct passed by value would not allow that.

The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be
somewhat opaque.  Mitigate that with a few macros.

git-rebase calls out to merge strategies, but did not support merge
strategy options so far.  Add this, in the same style used in
git-merge.

Sadly we have to do the full quoting/eval dance here, since
merge-recursive supports the --subtree=<path> option which potentially
contains whitespace.

This patch does not cover git rebase -i, which does not call any merge
strategy directly except in --preserve-merges, and even then only for
merges.

3f8fc184c0 Documentation: flesh out “git pull” description
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.

ac2e1e632e Documentation/rev-parse: quoting is required with --parseopt
When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented
example

  eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)"

the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary
whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed
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
consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling
arguments containing e.g. newlines.

Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the
example that did not have the quotes.

7f40ab0916 fast-export: Add a --full-tree option
This option adds symmetry with fast-import, enabling it to also work with
complete trees instead of just incremental changes.  It works by issuing a
'deleteall' directive with each commit and then listing the full set of
files that make up that commit, rather than just showing the list of files
that have changed since the (first) parent commit.  Note that this
functionality is automatically turned on when using --import-marks together
with path limiting in order to avoid dropping important but unchanged
files.

This functionality is desired when using hand-written filters along with
'fast-export | some-filter | fast-import' as it can be easier to write
<some-filter> in terms of complete trees than incremental changes.

We could avoid the need to add this option by simply always turning it on.
While the end result would be identical, it would slow things down slightly
by printing many more filenames per commit which goes somewhat against the
'fast' in 'fast-export'.

d27b876b28 git submodule add: Require the new --force option to add ignored paths
To make the behavior of "git submodule add" more consistent with "git add"
ignored submodule paths should not be silently added when they match an
entry in a .gitignore file. To be able to override that default behavior
in the same way as we can do that for "git add", the new option "--force"
is introduced.
