The rev-parse manpage introduces the branch@{date} syntax,
and mentions the reflog specifically. However, new users may
not be familiar with the distinction between the reflog and
the commit date, so let's help them out with a "you may be
interested in --until" pointer.

git cat-file: Fix memory leak in batch mode
fix git config example syntax

and lost in the C rewrite. Today, we can use aliases as an alternative.

git-config expects a space, not '=' between option and value.
Also, quote the value since it contains globs, which some shells will not
pass through unchanged, or will abort if the glob doesn't expand.

Sometimes it is desirable to have non-fast-forward branches in a
shared repository. A typical example of that is the 'pu' branch.
This patch extends the format of allowed-users and allow-groups
files by using the '+' sign at the beginning as the mark that
non-fast-forward pushes are permitted to the branch.

As announced for 1.6.0.
Git older than version 1.5.2 (or any other git version with this option
set to 1) may revert to version 1 of the pack index by manually deleting
all .idx files and recreating them using 'git index-pack'. Communication
over the git native protocol is unaffected since the pack index is never
transferred.

GIT 1.5.6.1
fix update-hook-example to work with packed tag references
clone: create intermediate directories of destination repo
for-each-ref: implement missing tag values
git-rebase.sh: Add check if rebase is in progress
* lt/config-fsync:
Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files
Split up default "i18n" and "branch" config parsing into helper routines
Split up default "user" config parsing into helper routine
Split up default "core" config parsing into helper routine
The update-hook-example used 'test -f' to check the tag present, which
does not work if the checked reference is packed. This check has been
changed to use 'git rev-parse $tag' instead.

As announced for 1.6.0.
Access over the native protocol by old git versions is unaffected as
this capability is negociated by the protocol. Otherwise setting this
config option to "false" and doing a 'git repack -a -d' is enough to
remain compatible with ancient git versions (older than 1.4.4).

We used to mark hooks we ship as samples by making them unexecutable, but
some filesystems cannot tell what is executable and what is not.
This makes it much more explicit. The hooks are suffixed with .sample
(but now are made executable), so enabling it is still one step operation
(instead of "chmod +x $hook", you would do "mv $hook.sample $hook") but
now they won't get accidentally enabled on systems without executable bit.

than it does like:

to what fast-import does. The format is the same as fast-import, so you can

As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.
It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.
[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing. Hell really _has_ frozen
over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.
