08aefc9e47 unpack-trees(): "enable" sparse checkout and load $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout
This patch introduces core.sparseCheckout, which will control whether
sparse checkout support is enabled in unpack_trees()

It also loads sparse-checkout file that will be used in the next patch.
I split it out so the next patch will be shorter, easier to read.

ed5336a754 Introduce "sparse checkout"
With skip-worktree bit, you can manually set it to unwanted files,
then remove them: you would have the so-called sparse checkout. The
disadvantages are:

 - Porcelain tools are not aware of this. Everytime you do an
   operation that may update working directory, skip-worktree may be
   cleared out. You have to set them again.

 - You still have to remove skip-worktree'd files manually, which is
   boring and ineffective.

These will be addressed in the following patches. This patch gives an
idea what is "sparse checkout" in Documentation/git-read-tree.txt.
This file is chosen instead of git-checkout.txt because it is quite
technical and user-unfriendly. I'd expect git-checkout.txt to have
something when Porcelain support is done.

c28b3d6e7b Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree
This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with
exclude).  At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean",
"git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and
unpack_trees()-related commands.  These commands have been
checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing.

add_excludes_from_file() does not enable this feature, because it
is used to read .git/info/exclude and some explicit files specified
by "git ls-files".

1a3d834f06 git-rev-list.txt: Clarify the use of multiple revision arguments
If one thinks of a revision as the set of commits which can be reached
from the rev, and of ^rev as the complement, then multiple arguments to
git rev-list can be neither understood as the intersection nor the union
of the individual sets.

But set language is the natural as well as logical language in which to
phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using
set language.

5749b0b2f9 don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository.  However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt.  So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

Alas, the handling of more than two revs is very different. Document

2da846e709 Documentation: git-send-email: correct statement about standard ports
The current documentation states that servers typically listen on port
465 and calls this "ssmtp". While it's true that many mail servers use
port 465 for SSL smtp, this is non-standard, and hails from the days
before smtp and submission TLS support, that arrived in RFC2487 and
RFC3207. Port 465 is actually assigned by IANA for unrelated purposes,
and is mostly still used by mail servers today only to support Outlook
Express.

In any case, this patch helps the documentation better reflect both
standards and reality, while still helpfully mentioning ports numbers
that a user may wish to specify.

79559f27be git fast-export: add --no-data option
When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs.  This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure.  --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a
massive speedup.

71c020c53e Disable asciidoc 8.4.1+ semantics for {plus} and friends
asciidoc 8.4.1 changed the semantics of inline backtick quoting so
that they disable parsing of inline constructs, i.e.,

  Input:	`{plus}`
  Pre 8.4.1:	+
  Post 8.4.1:	{plus}

Fix this by defining the asciidoc attribute 'no-inline-literal'

behaviour) when under ASCIIDOC8.

6b48829dbb git svn: revert default behavior for --minimize-url
This reverts the --minimize-url behavior change that
appeared recently in commit 0b2af457a4
("Fix branch detection when repository root is inaccessible").

However, we now allow the option to be turned off by allowing
"--no-minimize-url" so people with limited-access setups can
still take advantage of the fix in
0b2af457a4.

Also document the behavior and default settings of minimize-url
in the manpage for the first time.

This introduces a temporary UI regression to allow t9141 to pass
that will be reverted (fixed) in the next commit.

7f3140cd23 git repack: keep commits hidden by a graft
When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.

So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.

As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.
