f3673988ec Add documentation for git-branch's color configuration.
Added color.branch and color.branch.<slot> to configuration list.
Style copied from color.status and meanings derived from the code.

Moved the color meanings from color.diff.<slot> to color.branch.<slot>
since the latter comes first alphabetically.

Added --color and --no-color to git-branch's usage and documentation.

Update examples, stop using branch named "origin" as an example.
Remove large example of use of remotes; that particular case is
nicely automated by default, so it's not so pressing to explain, and

I couldn't think of a really quick way to give all the details, so just refer

d77a64d353 Teach Git how to parse standard power of 2 suffixes.
Sometimes its necessary to supply a value as a power of two in a
configuration parameter.  In this case the user may want to use the
standard suffixes such as K, M, or G to indicate that the numerical
value should be multiplied by a constant base before being used.

Shell scripts/etc. can also benefit from this automatic option
parsing with `git repo-config --int`.

f94741324e Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead.
Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter
was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code
needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to
ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and
not the lower-level actions it invoked.

At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action
function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on
what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only
takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
environment variable.

d2c11a38c4 UTF-8: introduce i18n.logoutputencoding.
It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a
different encoding from i18n.commitencoding -- the project's
policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8).  Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.

The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

30f610b7b0 Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations.
Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a
regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as:

 * pack-refs --prune
 * reflog expire
 * repack -a -d
 * prune
 * rerere gc

So here is a command which does exactly that.  The parameters fed
to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting
configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may
want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't
be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

ae72f68541 count-objects -v: show number of packs as well.
Recent "git push" keeps transferred objects packed much more aggressively
than before.  Monitoring output from git-count-objects -v for number of
loose objects is not enough to decide when to repack -- having too many
small packs is also a good cue for repacking.

e23ca9e1f9 git-add: add ignored files when asked explicitly.
One thing many people found confusing about git-add was that a
file whose name matches an ignored pattern could not be added to
the index.  With this, such a file can be added by explicitly
spelling its name to git-add.

Fileglobs and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files to
the index.  That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and
two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree:

    $ git add foo.o
    $ git add '*.o'
    $ git add bar

Only the first form adds foo.o to the index.
