26ae337be1 revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state
To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or
revert invocation, introduce a new subcommand called "--reset" to
remove the sequencer state.

Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a
generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series.  Introducing this public API
is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out
functions from revert.c into a generic commit sequencer.

ba8ea7496f grep: add option to show whole function as context
Add a new option, -W, to show the whole surrounding function of a match.

It uses the same regular expressions as -p and diff to find the beginning
of sections.

Currently it will not display comments in front of a function, but those
that are following one.  Despite this shortcoming it is already useful,
e.g. to simply see a more complete applicable context or to extract whole
functions.

402e8a6d9a Documentation/submodule: add command references and update options
Reference the "git diff" and "git status" commands where they learned
functionality that in earlier git versions was only available through the
'summary' and 'status' subcommands of "git submodule".

The short option '-n' for '--summary-limit' was missing from the synopsis
and the --init option was missing from the "options" section, add those
there. And while at it, quote all options in backticks so they are
decorated properly in the output formats which support that.

b421812b48 doc/fast-import: clarify notemodify command
The "notemodify" fast-import command was introduced in commit a8dd2e7
(fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes, 2009-10-09)
The commit log has slightly different description than the added
documentation. The latter is somewhat confusing. "notemodify" is a
subcommand of "commit" command used to add a note for some commit.
Does this note annotate the commit produced by the "commit" command
or a commit given by it's committish parameter? Which notes tree
does it write notes to?

The exact meaning could be deduced with old description and some
notes machinery knowledge. But let's make it more obvious. This
command is used in a context like "commit refs/notes/test" to
add or rewrite an annotation for a committish parameter. So the
advised way to add notes in a fast-import stream is:
1) import some commits (optional)
2) prepare a "commit" to the notes tree:
2.1) choose notes ref, committer, log message, etc.
2.2) create annotations with "notemodify", where each can refer to
a commit being annotated via a branch name, import mark reference,
sha1 and other expressions specified in the Documentation.

82670a5cb5 fast-export: support done feature
If fast-export is being used to generate a fast-import stream that
will be used afterwards it is desirable to indicate the end of the
stream with the new 'done' command.

be56862f19 fast-import: introduce 'done' command
Add a 'done' command that causes fast-import to stop reading from the
stream and exit.

If the new --done command line flag was passed on the command line
(or a "feature done" declaration included at the start of the stream),
make the 'done' command mandatory.  So "git fast-import --done"'s
input format will be prefix-free, making errors easier to detect when
they show up as early termination at some convenient time of the
upstream of a pipe writing to fast-import.

Another possible application of the 'done' command would to be allow a
fast-import stream that is only a small part of a larger encapsulating
stream to be easily parsed, leaving the file offset after the "done\n"
so the other application can pick up from there.  This patch does not
teach fast-import to do that --- fast-import still uses buffered input
(stdio).

The gitdir capability is recognized by git and can be used to tell

Teach testgit to use env instead of the now-removed gitdir command.

5960bc9d63 rebase: clarify "restore the original branch"
The description for 'git rebase --abort' currently says:

    Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation.

The "restore" can be misinterpreted to imply that the original branch
was somehow in a broken state during the rebase operation. It is also
not completely clear what "the original branch" is --- is it the
branch that was checked out before the rebase operation was called or
is the the branch that is being rebased (it is the latter)? Although
both issues are made clear in the DESCRIPTION section, let us also
make the entry in the OPTIONS secion more clear.

Also remove the term "rebasing process" from the usage text, since the
user already knows that the text is about "git rebase".

7791a1d9b9 Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.

Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.

While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

27269fc5f2 Documentation/i18n: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
As explained in v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work around em-dash handling in newer
AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23), if double dashes in names of commands are not
escaped, AsciiDoc renders them as em dashes.

While fixing that, spell the command name as "git sh-i18n--envsubst"
(2 words) instead of emphasizing the name of the binary (one
hyphenated name) and format it in italics.

The double-dash in the title should be escaped, too, to avoid spurious
em dashes in the header:

  .TH "GIT\-SH\-I18N\(emENVSUB" "1" "06/26/2011" "Git 1\&.7\&.6" "Git Manual"

AsciiDoc 8.6.4 with DocBook XSL 1.76.0-RC1 copes fine and writes
"GIT\-SH\-I18N\-\-ENVSUB" even without this change, which is why it
was missed before.

565e135a1e Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs.  Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.

AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML).  Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).

AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement.  Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters.  The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain.  (This patch will not
change that.)

The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc.  Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name.  The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

5ad6d387f1 git-instaweb: Check that correct config file exists for (re)start
Currently start/restart does not generate any configuration files for
spawning a new instance.  This means that

  $ git instaweb --http=<server> --start

might pick up stale 'httpd.conf' file for a different web server
(e.g. for default lighttpd when requesting apache2).

This commit changes that, and makes git-instaweb generate web server
config file and/or gitweb config file if don't exists.

This required naming config files after the name of web server
(alternate solution would be to somehow mark for which web server was
config file generated).

Note that web servers that embed configuration in server script file,
namely webrick and plackup, and which delete "$conf" in their *_conf
function, would have their config (server script) always regenerated.

Note: this commit introduces a bit of code repetition (but only a few
lines).

ccee60862b submodule sync: do not auto-vivify uninteresting submodule
Earlier 33f072f (submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty
directories, 2010-10-08) attempted to fix a bug where "git submodule sync"
command does not update the URL if the current superproject does not have
a checkout of the submodule.

However, it did so by unconditionally registering submodule.$name.url to
every submodule in the project, even the ones that the user has never
showed interest in at all by running 'git submodule init' command. This
caused subsequent 'git submodule update' to start cloning/updating submodules
that are not interesting to the user at all.

Update the code so that the URL is updated from the .gitmodules file only
for submodules that already have submodule.$name.url entries, i.e. the
ones the user has showed interested in having a checkout.

787513027a stash: Add --include-untracked option to stash and remove all untracked files
The --include-untracked option acts like the normal "git stash save" but
also adds all untracked files in the working directory to the stash and then
calls "git clean --force --quiet" to restore the working directory to a
pristine state.

This is useful for projects that need to run release scripts. With this
option, the release scripts can be from the main working directory so one
does not have to maintain a "clean" directory in parallel just for
releasing. Basically the work-flow becomes:

   $ git tag release-1.0
   $ git stash --include-untracked
   $ make release
   $ git clean -f
   $ git stash pop

"git stash" alone is not enough in this case--it leaves untracked files
lying around that might mess up a release process that expects everything to
be very clean or might let a release succeed that should actually fail (due
to a new source file being created that hasn't been committed yet).

0aceb22097 git-remote.txt: avoid sounding as if loose refs are the only ones in the world
It was correct to say "The file $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master stores the
commit object name at the tip of the master branch" in the older days,
but not anymore, as refs can be packed into $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file.

Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and
"symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation
detail.

This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote
documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/
file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around
remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

84054f79de clone: accept config options on the command line
Clone does all of init, "remote add", fetch, and checkout
without giving the user a chance to intervene and set any
configuration. This patch allows you to set config options
in the newly created repository after the clone, but before
we do any other operations.

In many cases, this is a minor convenience over something
like:

  git clone git://...
  git config core.whatever true

But in some cases, it can bring extra efficiency by changing
how the fetch or checkout work. For example, setting
line-ending config before the checkout avoids having to
re-checkout all of the contents with the correct line
endings.

It also provides a mechanism for passing information to remote
helpers during a clone; the helpers may read the git config
to influence how they operate.

It's common to pipe the tar output produce by "git archive"

omitted.

This patch allows an arbitrary number of patterns on the

bcfb95dde4 http: pass http.cookiefile using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
If the config option http.cookiefile is set, pass this file to libCURL using
the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. This is similar to calling curl with the -b
option.  This allows git http authorization with authentication mechanisms
that use cookies, such as SAML Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) used by
Shibboleth.

To use SAML/ECP, the user needs to request a session cookie with their own ECP
code. See for example:

<https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP>

Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g.

git config --global http.cookiefile "/home/dbrown/.curlcookies"

libCURL will then pass the appropriate session cookies to the git http server.

  2. Discussing literal output or code, but inside a
     paragraph. This patch escapes these as "\->".

  3. Using the arrow as a symbolic element, such as "use the
     Edit->Account Settings menu". In this case, the
     arrow symbol is preferable, so we leave it as-is.

fc17df0344 docs: update status --porcelain format
The --porcelain format was originally identical to the
--short format, but designed to be stable as the short
format changed. Since this was written, the short format
picked up a few incompatible niceties, but this description
was never changed.

Let's mention the differences. While we're at it, let's add
some sub-section headings to make the "output" section a
little easier to navigate.

ea5070c91f Teach read-tree the -n|--dry-run option
The option can be used to check if read-tree with the same set of other
options like "-m" and "-u" would succeed without actually changing either
the index or the working tree.

The relevant tests in the t10?? range were extended to do a read-tree -n
before the real read-tree to make sure neither the index nor any local
files were changed with -n and the same exit code as without -n is
returned. The helper functions added for that purpose reside in the new
t/lib-read-tree.sh file.

The only exception is #13 in t1004 ("unlinking an un-unlink-able
symlink"). As this is an issue of wrong directory permissions it is not
detected with -n.

e2eb527345 require-work-tree wants more than what its name says
Somebody tried "git pull" from a random place completely outside the work
tree, while exporting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE that are set to correct
places, e.g.

    GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/git.git
    GIT_DIR=$GIT_WORK_TREE/.git
    export GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_DIR
    cd /tmp
    git pull

At the beginning of git-pull, we check "require-work-tree" and then
"cd-to-toplevel".  I _think_ the original intention when I wrote the
command was "we MUST have a work tree, our $(cwd) might not be at the
top-level directory of it", and no stronger than that.  That check is a
very sensible thing to do before doing cd-to-toplevel.  We check that the
place we would want to go exists, and then go there.

But the implementation of require_work_tree we have today is quite
different.  I don't have energy to dig the history, but currently it says:

    test "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" = true ||
    die "fatal: $0 cannot be used without a working tree."

Which is completely bogus.  Even though we may happen to be just outside
of it right now, we may have a working tree that we can cd_to_toplevel
back to.

Add a function "require_work_tree_exists" that implements the check
this function originally intended (this is so that third-party scripts
that rely on the current behaviour do not have to get broken).

For now, update _no_ in-tree scripts, not even "git pull", as nobody on
the list seems to really care about the above corner case workflow that
triggered this. Scripts can be updated after vetting that they do want the
"we want to make sure the place we are going to go actually exists"
semantics.

Depending on the application, it is not necessarily an error for an object
to lack a note, especially if the only thing the caller wants to make sure
is that notes are cleared for an object.  By passing this option from the
command line, the "git notes remove" command considers it a success if the
object did not have any note to begin with.

c3ab1a8e4c notes remove: allow removing more than one
While "xargs -n1 git notes rm" is certainly a possible way to remove notes
from many objects, this would create one notes "commit" per removal, which
is not quite suitable for seasonal housekeeping.

Allow taking more than one on the command line, and record their removal
as a single atomic event if everthing goes well.

Even though the old code insisted that "git notes rm" must be given only
one object (or zero, in which case it would default to HEAD), this
condition was not tested. Add tests to handle the new case where we feed
multiple objects, and also make sure if there is a bad input, no change
is recorded.

a87247731e ls-remote: the --exit-code option reports "no matching refs"
The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully
talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the
command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when
the command successfully talked with the remote repository.

This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the
remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the
output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid
way to check the same thing.

ba67aaf2d0 git-sh-i18n--envsubst: our own envsubst(1) for eval_gettext()
Add a git-sh-i18n--envsubst program which is a stripped-down version
of the GNU envsubst(1) program that comes with GNU gettext for use in
the eval_gettext() fallback.

We need a C helper program because implementing eval_gettext() purely
in shell turned out to be unworkable. Digging through the Git mailing
list archives will reveal two shell implementations of eval_gettext
that are almost good enough, but fail on an edge case which is tested
for in the tests which are part of this patch.

These are the modifications I made to envsubst.c as I turned it into
sh-i18n--envsubst.c:

 * Added our git-compat-util.h header for xrealloc() and friends.

 * Removed inclusion of gettext-specific headers.

 * Removed most of main() and replaced it with my own. The modified
   version only does option parsing for --variables. That's all it
   needs.

 * Modified error() invocations to use our error() instead of
   error(3).

 * Replaced the gettext XNMALLOC(n, size) macro with just
   xmalloc(n). Since XNMALLOC() only allocated char's.

 * Removed the string_list_destroy function. It's redundant (also in
   the upstream code).

 * Replaced the use of stdbool.h (a C99 header) by doing the following
   replacements on the code:

    * s/bool/unsigned short int/g
    * s/true/1/g
    * s/false/0/g

time it is referenced. This can make quick and dirty scripts
much easier to write; see the example added to the blame
documentation.

1020d08786 Use a temporary index for git commit --interactive
Change the behaviour of git commit --interactive so that when you abort
the commit (by leaving the commit message empty) the index remains
unchanged.

Hitherto an aborted commit --interactive has added the selected hunks to
the index regardless of whether the commit succeeded or not.

239b5ed9c9 Documentation: clarify meaning of --html-path, --man-path, and --info-path
These options tell UI programs where git put its documentation, so
"Help" actions can show the documentation for *this* version of git
without regard to how MANPATH and INFOPATH are set up.  Details:

. Each variable tells where documentation is expected to be.  They do
  not indicate whether documentation was actually installed.

. The output of "git --html-path" is an absolute path and can be used
  in "file://$(git --html-path)/git-add.html" to name the HTML file
  documenting a particular command.

. --man-path names a manual page hierarchy (e.g.,
  /home/user/share/man).  Its output can be passed to "man -M" or put
  at the beginning of $MANPATH.

. --info-path names a directory with info files (e.g.,
  /home/user/share/info).  Its output is suitable as an argument to
  "info -d" or for inclusion in $INFOPATH.

1c57a627bf New --dirstat=lines mode, doing dirstat analysis based on diffstat
This patch adds an alternative implementation of show_dirstat(), called
show_dirstat_by_line(), which uses the more expensive diffstat analysis
(as opposed to show_dirstat()'s own (relatively inexpensive) analysis)
to derive the numbers from which the --dirstat output is computed.

The alternative implementation is controlled by the new "lines" parameter
to the --dirstat option (or the diff.dirstat config variable).

For binary files, the diffstat analysis counts bytes instead of lines,
so to prevent binary files from dominating the dirstat results, the
byte counts for binary files are divided by 64 before being compared to
their textual/line-based counterparts. This is a stupid and ugly - but
very cheap - heuristic.

In linux-2.6.git, running the three different --dirstat modes:

  time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=changes > /dev/null
vs.
  time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=lines > /dev/null
vs.
  time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=files > /dev/null

yields the following average runtimes on my machine:

 - "changes" (default): ~6.0 s
 - "lines":             ~9.6 s
 - "files":             ~0.1 s

So, as expected, there's a considerable performance hit (~60%) by going
through the full diffstat analysis as compared to the default "changes"
analysis (obviously, "files" is much faster than both). As such, the
"lines" mode is probably only useful if you really need the --dirstat
numbers to be consistent with the numbers returned from the other
--*stat options.

The patch also includes documentation and tests for the new dirstat mode.
