e9b4908302 user-manual: use 'remote add' to setup push URLs
There is no need to use here documents to setup this configuration.
It is easier, less confusing, and more robust to use `git remote add`
directly.

c0179c0d33 git.txt: update description of the configuration mechanism
The old Git version where it appeared is now useful only to historians,
not to normal users. Also, the text was mentioning only the per-repo
config file, but this is a good place to teach that customization can
also be made per-user.

While at it, remove a now-defunct e-mail from an example.

d32805dce7 Replace filepattern with pathspec for consistency
pathspec is the most widely used term, and is the one defined in
gitglossary.txt. <filepattern> was used only in the synopsys for git-add
and git-commit, and in git-add.txt. Get rid of it.

This patch is obtained with by running:

  perl -pi -e 's/filepattern/pathspec/' `git grep -l filepattern`

b141a47801 parse-options: report uncorrupted multi-byte options
Because our command-line parser considers only one byte at the time
for short-options, we incorrectly report only the first byte when
multi-byte input was provided. This makes user-errors slightly
awkward to diagnose for instance under UTF-8 locale and non-English
keyboard layouts.

Report the whole argument-string when a non-ASCII short-option is
detected.

c082196575 Add utf8_fprintf helper that returns correct number of columns
Since command usages can be translated, they may include utf-8
encoded strings, and the output in console may not align well any
more. This is because strlen() is different from strwidth() on utf-8
strings.

A wrapper utf8_fprintf() can help to return the correct number of

Some implementations of strftime(3) lack support for "%z".  Also

75f7b5dfc4 perl/Git.pm: fix get_tz_offset to properly handle DST boundary cases
When passed a local time that was on the boundary of a DST change,
get_tz_offset returned a GMT offset that was incorrect (off by one
hour).  This is because the time was converted to GMT and then back to
a time stamp via timelocal() which cannot disambiguate boundary cases
as noted in its documentation.

Modify this algorithm, using an approach suggested in

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/213871

to first convert the timestamp in question to two broken down forms
with localtime() and gmtime(), and then compute what timestamps
these two broken down forms would represent in GMT (i.e. a timezone
that does not have DST issues) by applying timegm() on them.  The
difference between the resulting timestamps is the timezone offset.

This avoids the ambigious conversion and allows a correct time to be
returned on every occassion.

6978934713 Makefile: explicitly set target name for autogenerated dependencies
"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o".  When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute

	gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E

instead to get the final content for hashing.  Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E".  The result is a target name without
a leading path.

Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:

	$ make builtin/add.o
	GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
	    * new build flags or prefix
	    CC builtin/add.o
	$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
	add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \

After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":

	$ touch cache.h
	$ make builtin/add.o
	$

Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option.  Do so.

e28efb1998 apply: diagnose incomplete submodule object name better
"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the
preimage the patch was created from would have looked like.  An
abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient
for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have
contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object
name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and
get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1()
for that matter).

Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name
there.

We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full
object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has
been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice
for now.

Earlier, a230949 (am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not

commit object while rebasing, instead of reading from the rebase-am
front-end.  While doing so, it used "git diff-tree" but without
giving it the "--full-index" option.

This does not matter for in-repository objects; during rebasing, any
abbreviated object name should uniquely identify them.

But we may be rebasing a commit that contains a change to a gitlink,
in which case we usually should not have the object (it names a
commit in the submodule).  A full object name is necessary to later
reconstruct a fake ancestor index for them.

recently added to report the failure dereferenced a null pointer
while checking the name of the current branch.
