82dca84871 Align section headers of 'git status' to new 'git add'.
Now that 'git add' is considered a first-class UI for 'update-index'
and that the 'git add' documentation states "Even modified files
must be added to the set of changes about to be committed" we should
make the output of 'git status' align with that documentation and
common usage.

So now we see a status output such as:

  # Added but not yet committed:
  #   (will commit)
  #
  #       new file: x
  #
  # Changed but not added:
  #   (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit)
  #
  #       modified:   x
  #
  # Untracked files:
  #   (use "git add" on files to include for commit)
  #
  #       y

which just reads better in the context of using 'git add' to
manipulate a commit (and not a checkin, whatever the heck that is).

We also now support 'color.status.added' as an alias for the existing
'color.status.updated', as this alias more closely aligns with the
current output and documentation.

aeb80c70ec Suggest use of "git add file1 file2" when there is nothing to commit.
If a user modifies files and runs 'git commit' (without the very
useful -a option) and they have not yet updated the index they
are probably coming from another SCM-like tool which would perform
the same as 'git commit -a' in this case.  Showing the user their
current status and a final line of "nothing to commit" is not very
reassuring, as the user might believe that Git did not recognize
their files were modified.

Instead we can suggest as part of the 'nothing to commit' message
that the user invoke 'git add' to add files to their next commit.

89c4afe0d0 Add --add option to git-repo-config
For multivars, the "git-repo-config name value ^$" is useful but
nonintuitive and troublesome to do repeatedly (since the value is not
at the end of the command line).  This commit simply adds an --add
option that adds a new value to a multivar.  Particularly useful for
tracking a new branch on a remote:

git-repo-config --add remote.origin.fetch +next:origin/next

0bee591869 Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory.
New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).

So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:

  [core]
    logAllRefUpdates = false

in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.

We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.

Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are
likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing
they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects'
lost+found features.

ef0a89a604 Provide more meaningful output from 'git init-db'.
Back in the old days of Git when people messed around with their
GIT_DIR environment variable more often it was nice to know whether
or not git-init-db created a .git directory or used GIT_DIR.
As most users at that time were rather technical UNIXy folk the
message "defaulting to local storage area" made sense to some and
seemed reasonable.

But it doesn't really convey any meaning to the new Git user,
as they don't know what a 'local storage area is' nor do they
know enough about Git to care.  It also really doesn't tell the
experienced Git user a whole lot about the command they just ran,
especially if they might be reinitializing an existing repository
(e.g. to update hooks).

So now we print out what we did ("Initialized empty" or
"Reinitialized existing"), what type of repository ("" or "shared"),
and what location the repository will be in ("$GIT_DIR").

ebd124c678 make commit message a little more consistent and conforting
It is nicer to let the user know when a commit succeeded all the time,
not only the first time.  Also the commit sha1 is much more useful than
the tree sha1 in this case.

This patch also introduces a -q switch to supress this message as well
as the summary of created/deleted files.

1510fea781 Avoid accessing a slow working copy during diffcore operations.
The Cygwin folks have done a fine job at creating a POSIX layer
on Windows That Just Works(tm).  However it comes with a penalty;
accessing files in the working tree by way of stat/open/mmap can
be slower for diffcore than inflating the data from a blob which
is stored in a packfile.

This performance problem is especially an issue in merge-recursive
when dealing with nearly 7000 added files, as we are loading
each file's content from the working directory to perform rename
detection.  I have literally seen (and sadly watched) paint dry in
less time than it takes for merge-recursive to finish such a merge.
On the other hand this very same merge runs very fast on Solaris.

If Git is compiled with NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY set then we will
avoid looking at the working directory when the blob in question
is available within a packfile and the caller doesn't need the data
unpacked into a temporary file.

We don't use loose objects as they have the same open/mmap/close
costs as the working directory file access, but have the additional
CPU overhead of needing to inflate the content before use.  So it
is still faster to use the working tree file over the loose object.

If the caller needs the file data unpacked into a temporary file
its likely because they are going to call an external diff program,
passing the file as a parameter.  In this case reusing the working
tree file will be faster as we don't need to inflate the data and
write it out to a temporary file.

The NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY feature is enabled by default on
Cygwin, as that is the platform which currently appears to benefit
the most from this option.

2ce633b928 git-reset [--mixed] <tree> [--] <paths>...
Sometimes it is asked on the list how to revert selected path in
the index from a tree, most often HEAD, without affecting the
files in the working tree.  A similar operation that also
affects the working tree files has been available in the form of
"git checkout <tree> -- <paths>...".

By definition --soft would never affect either the index nor the
working tree files, and --hard is the way to make the working
tree files as close to pristine, so this new option is available
only for the default --mixed case.

7da41f48c8 Bypass expensive content comparsion during rename detection.
When comparing file contents during the second loop through a rename
detection attempt we can skip the expensive byte-by-byte comparsion
if both source and destination files have valid SHA1 values.  This
improves performance by avoiding either an expensive open/mmap to
read the working tree copy, or an expensive inflate of a blob object.

Unfortunately we still have to at least initialize the sizes of the
source and destination files even if the SHA1 values don't match.
Failing to initialize the sizes causes a number of test cases to fail
and start reporting different copy/rename behavior than was expected.

This reverts commit 4c81c213a4.

Although --cached and --index are confusing wording, the use of
word --cached for git-diff is consistent with git-apply.  It means
"work with index without looking at the working tree".

We should probably come up with better wording for --cached, if
somebody wants to deprecate it.  But making --index and --cached
synonyms for diff while leaving them mean different things for
apply is no good.

a159ca0cb7 Allow subcommand.color and color.subcommand color configuration
While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches.  The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.

This patch does the same thing for
  - git-log (color.diff)
  - git-status (color.status)
  - git-diff (color.diff)
  - pager (color.pager)

I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions.  I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.

Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I
don't like to change unilaterally.
