didn't change. This note mentions the reasons why things
might unexpectedly get kept.

This test tried to push into a remote with ambiguous refs in
remotes/$x/master and remotes/$y/master. However, the remote
never actually tells us about the refs/remotes hierarchy, so
we don't even see this ambiguity.
The test happened to pass because we were simply looking for
failure, and the test fails for another reason: the dst
refspec does not exist and does not begin with refs/, making
it invalid.

Tomasz Fortuna reported that "git commit" does not error out properly when

The documentation for git-imap-send suggests a tunnel setting such as
Tunnel = "ssh -q user@server.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
which works wonderfully and doesn't require a username, password or port
setting.
However, git-imap-send currently requires that the imap.host variable be
set in the config even when it was unused. This patch changes imap-send
to only require that the imap.host setting is set if imap.tunnel is not
set. Otherwise, server.host is set to "tunnel" for reporting purposes.

When trying to import from svn using an author file, git-svn bails out
if it encounters a blank author. The attached patch changes this
behavior and allow using the author file with blanks authors.
I came across this bug while importing from a cvs2svn repo where the

of bailing out when an unknown author is encountered.

According to the similar patch from David Kågedal [1], "this will make
it a little less posix-dependent and more efficient." However, there
are two other areas that need to replaced, namely
git-run-command-region and git-run-hooks. This patch implements the
changes of [1] onto those Emacs Lisp functions.
If unpatched, using the git port "msysgit" on Windows will require
defadvice changes as shown at [2] (also explained at 4msysgit.git
[3]).
I have tested git-run-command-region on msysgit, because this is
always called by git-commit (via git-commit-tree <- git-do-commit <-
git-commit-file). However, I could not test git-run-hooks because it
currently does not work on the Emacs Windows port. The latter reports
the hooks files as a+rw and a-x, despite msysgit and cygwin chmod
setting on the respective files.

gitweb: Fix 'history' view for deleted files with history
Document that WebDAV doesn't need git on the server, and works over SSL
git-remote: reject adding remotes with invalid names
am: POSIX portability fix
When asked for history of a file which is not present in given branch
("HEAD", i.e. current branch, or given by transient $hash_hase ('hb')
parameter), but is present deeper in the history (meaning that "git
rev-list --full-history $hash_base -- $file_name" is not empty), and
there is no $hash ('h') parameter set for a file, gitweb would spew
multiple of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings, and some links
would be missing. This commit fixes this bug.
This bug occurs in the rare cases when "git log -- <path>" is empty
and "git log --full-history -- <path>" is not, or to be more exact in
the cases when full-history starts later than given branch. It can
happen if you are using handcrafted gitwb URL, or if you follow
generic 'history' link or bookmark for a file which got deleted.
Gitweb tried to get file type ('tree', or 'blob', or even 'commit')
from the commit we start searching from (where the file was not
present), and not among found commits. This was the cause of "Use of
uninitialized value" warnings.
This commit also add tests for such situation to t9500 test.
While we are it, return HTTP error if there is _no_ history; it means
that file or directory was not found (for given branch). Also error
out if type of item could not be found: it should not happen now, but
better be sure.

This can happen if the arguments to git-remote add is switched by the
user, and git would only show an error if fetching was also requested.

name can be parsed as a remote before add it.

git init --shared=0xxx, where '0xxx' is an octal number, will create
a repository with file modes set to '0xxx'. Users with a safe umask
value (0077) can use this option to force file modes. For example,
'0640' is a group-readable but not group-writable regardless of
user's umask value. Values compatible with old Git versions are written
as they were before, for compatibility reasons. That is, "1" for
"group" and "2" for "everybody".
"git config core.sharedRepository 0xxx" is also handled.

Traditionally git-rebase was implemented in terms of "format-patch" piped
to "am -3", to strike balance between speed (because it avoids a rather
expensive read-tree/merge-recursive machinery most of the time) and
flexibility (the magic "-3" allows it to fall back to 3-way merge as
necessary). However, this combination has one flaw when dealing with a
nonstandard commit log message format that has more than one lines in the
first paragraph.
This teaches "git am --rebasing" to take advantage of the fact that the
mbox message "git rebase" prepares for it records the original commit
object name, to get the log message from the original commit object
instead.
