2085b16aef git notes merge: Handle real, non-conflicting notes merges
This continuation of the 'git notes merge' implementation teaches notes-merge
to properly do real merges between notes trees: Two diffs are performed, one
from $base to $remote, and another from $base to $local. The paths in each
diff are normalized to SHA1 object names. The two diffs are then consolidated
into a single list of change pairs to be evaluated. Each change pair consist
of:

  - The annotated object's SHA1
  - The $base SHA1 (i.e. the common ancestor notes for this object)
  - The $local SHA1 (i.e. the current notes for this object)
  - The $remote SHA1 (i.e. the to-be-merged notes for this object)

From the pair ($base -> $local, $base -> $remote), we can determine the merge
result using regular 3-way rules. If conflicts are encountered in this
process, we fail loudly and exit (conflict handling to be added in a future
patch), If we can complete the merge without conflicts, the resulting
notes tree is committed, and the current notes ref updated.

The patch includes added testcases verifying that we can successfully do real
conflict-less merges.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Jonathan Nieder: Use trace_printf(...) instead of OUTPUT(o, 5, ...)
- Junio C Hamano: fixup minor style issues

56881843d4 builtin/notes.c: Refactor creation of notes commits.
Create new function create_notes_commit() which is slightly more general than
commit_notes() (accepts multiple commit parents and does not auto-update the
notes ref). This function will be used by the notes-merge functionality in
future patches.

Also rewrite builtin/notes.c:commit_notes() to reuse this new function.

75ef3f4a5c git notes merge: Initial implementation handling trivial merges only
This initial implementation of 'git notes merge' only handles the trivial
merge cases (i.e. where the merge is either a no-op, or a fast-forward).

Future patches will extend the functionality of 'git notes merge'.

- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Don't use C99 comments.

d4990c4b2f notes.c: Use two newlines (instead of one) when concatenating notes
When using combine_notes_concatenate() to concatenate notes, it currently
ensures exactly one newline character between the given notes. However,
when using builtin/notes.c:create_note() to concatenate notes (e.g. by
'git notes append'), it adds a newline character to the trailing newline
of the preceding notes object, thus resulting in _two_ newlines (aka. a
blank line) separating contents of the two notes.

This patch brings combine_notes_concatenate() into consistency with
builtin/notes.c:create_note(), by ensuring exactly _two_ newline characters
between concatenated notes.

The patch also changes a few notes-related selftests accordingly.

180619a585 notes.h/c: Propagate combine_notes_fn return value to add_note() and beyond
The combine_notes_fn functions uses a non-zero return value to indicate
failure. However, this return value was converted to a call to die()
in note_tree_insert().

Instead, propagate this return value out to add_note(), and return it
from there to enable the caller to handle errors appropriately.

Existing add_note() callers are updated to die() upon failure, thus
preserving the current behaviour. The only exceptions are copy_note()
and notes_cache_put() where we are able to propagate the add_note()
return value instead.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Jonathan Nieder: Improve clarity of final if-condition in note_tree_insert()

00fa6fef63 gitweb: separate heads and remotes lists
We specialize the 'heads' action to only display local branches, and
introduce a 'remotes' action to display the remote branches (only
available when the remotes_head feature is enabled).

Mirroring this, we also split the heads list in summary view into
local and remote lists, each linking to the appropriate action.

The git_get_heads_list now defaults to 'heads' only, regardless of
whether the remote heads feature is active or not.

b2be2f6aea log.decorate: accept 0/1 bool values
We explicitly document "0" and "1" as synonyms for "false"
and "true" in boolean config options. However, we don't
actually handle those values in git_config_maybe_bool.

In most cases this works fine, as we call git_config_bool,
which in turn calls git_config_bool_or_int, which in turn
calls git_config_maybe_bool. Values of 0/1 are considered
"not bool", but their integer values end up being converted
to the corresponding boolean values.

However, the log.decorate code looks for maybe_bool
explicitly, so that it can fall back to the "short" and
"full" strings. It does not handle 0/1 at all, and considers
them invalid values.

We cannot simply add 0/1 support to git_config_maybe_bool.
That would confuse git_config_bool_or_int, which may want to
distinguish the integer values "0" and "1" from bools.

Instead, assume the empty tree for HEAD and do a regular merge. An

15431ca651 setup: make sure git_dir path is in a permanent buffer, getenv(3) case
getenv(3) returns not-permanent buffer which may be changed by e.g.
putenv(3) call (*).

In practice I've noticed this when trying to do `git commit -m abc`
inside msysgit under wine, getting

    $ git commit -m abc
    fatal: could not open 'DIR=.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG': No such file or directory
                           ^^^^
    (notice introduced 'DIR=' artifact.)

The problem was showing itself only with -m option, and actually, as
debugging showed, originally

    git_dir = getenv("GIT_DIR")

returned pointer to

        "GIT_DIR=.git\0"
                 ^
               git_dir

, we stored it in git_dir, than, after processing -m git-commit option,
we did setenv("GIT_EDITOR", ":") which as (*) says changed environment
variables memory layout - something like this

       "...\0GIT_DIR=.git\0"
                 ^
               git_dir

and oops - we got wrong git_dir.

Avoid that by strdupping getenv("GIT_DIR") result like we did in 06f354
(setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer). Unfortunately
this also shows that other getenv usage inside git needs auditing...

(*) from man 3 getenv:

       The implementation of getenv() is not required to  be  reentrant.   The
       string  pointed  to  by  the return value of getenv() may be statically
       allocated, and can be  modified  by  a  subsequent  call  to  getenv(),
       putenv(3), setenv(3), or unsetenv(3).

0188f6b3c1 add: do not rely on dtype being NULL behavior
Commit c84de70 (excluded_1(): support exclude files in index -
2009-08-20) added support for excluded() where dtype can be NULL. It
was designed specifically for index matching because there was no
other way to extract dtype information from index. It did not support
wildcard matching (for example, "a*/" pattern would fail to match).

The code was probably misread when commit 108da0d (git add: Add the
"--ignore-missing" option for the dry run - 2010-07-10) was made
because DT_UNKNOWN happens to be zero (NULL) too.

Do not pass DT_UNKNOWN/NULL to excluded(), instead pass a pointer to a
variable that contains DT_UNKNOWN. The real dtype will be extracted
from worktree by excluded(), as expected.

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".

be254a0ea9 Add the 'fetch.recurseSubmodules' config setting
This new boolean option can be used to override the default for "git
fetch" and "git pull", which is to not recurse into populated submodules
and fetch all new commits there too.

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.
