When working in the top-level project, it is useful to create a new
submodule as a git repo in a subdirectory, then add that submodule to
the top-level in place.
This patch allows "git submodule add <intended url> subdir" to add the
existing subdir to the current project. The presumption is the user will
later push / clone the subdir to the <intended url> so that future
submodule init / updates will work.
Absent this patch, "git submodule add" insists upon cloning the subdir
from a repository at the given url, which is fine for adding an existing
project in, but less useful when adding a new submodule from scratch to an
existing project. The former functionality remains, and the clone is
attempted if the subdir does not already exist as a valid git repo.

Way back the perl version of shortlog would take the first populated line
of the commit body. The builtin version mearly takes the first line.
This leads to empty shortlog entries when there is some viable text in
the commit.
Reinstate this behaviour igoring all lines with nothing but whitespace.
This is often useful when dealing with commits imported from foreign SCMs
that do not tidy up the log message of useless blank lines at the beginning.

With this patch, in the 'start_command' function after forking
we now take care of stderr in the child process before stdout.
This way if 'start_command' is called with a 'child_process'
argument like this:
.err = -1;
.stdout_to_stderr = 1;
then stderr will be redirected to a pipe before stdout is
redirected to stderr. So we can now get the process' stdout
from the pipe (as well as its stderr).
Earlier such a call would have redirected stdout to stderr
before stderr was itself redirected, and therefore stdout
would not have followed stderr, which would not have been
very useful anyway.
Update documentation in 'api-run-command.txt' accordingly.

Currently git mergetool is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the mergetool.<tool>.path to force
git mergetool to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.
This patch adds two git config variable patterns which allow a more
flexible choice of merge tool.
If you run git mergetool with -t/--tool or the merge.tool config
variable set to an unrecognized tool then git mergetool will query the
mergetool.<tool>.cmd config variable. If this variable exists, then git
mergetool will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use
a shell eval to run the command with the documented shell variables set.
mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode can be used to indicate that the exit
code of the custom command can be used to determine the success of the
merge.

When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may
want to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt>
option every time from the command line. This teaches these three
commands to honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.
The --pretty option given from the command line will override the
configured format.
The earlier patch fixed the in-tree callers that run these commands
for purposes other than showing the output directly to the end user
(the only other in-tree caller is "git bisect visualize", whose output
directly goes to the end user and should be affected by this patch).

ba002f3 (builtin-fsck: move common object checking code to fsck.c) did
more than what it claimed to. Most notably, it wrongly made an empty tree
object an error by pretending to only move code from fsck_tree() in
builtin-fsck.c to fsck_tree() in fsck.c, but in fact adding a bogus check
to barf on an empty tree.
An empty tree object is _unusual_. Recent porcelains try reasonably hard
not to let the user create a commit that contains such a tree. Perhaps
warning about them in git-fsck may have some merit.
HOWEVER.
Being unusual and being errorneous are two quite different things. This
is especially true now we seem to use the same fsck_$object() code in
places other than git-fsck itself. For example, receive-pack should not
reject unusual objects, even if it would be a good idea to tighten it to
reject incorrect ones.

If the remote peer upload-pack process supports the include-tag
protocol extension then we can avoid running a second fetch cycle
on the client side by letting the server send us the annotated tags
along with the objects it is packing for us. In the following graph
we can now fetch both "tag1" and "tag2" on the same connection that
we fetched "master" from the remote when we only have L available
on the local side:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - o ------ o ------ B
\ \
\ \
origin/master master
The objects for "tag1" are implicitly downloaded without our direct
knowledge. The existing "quickfetch" optimization within git-fetch
discovers that tag1 is complete after the first connection and does
not open a second connection.

The new protocol extension "include-tag" allows the client side
of the connection (fetch-pack) to request that the server side of the
native git protocol (upload-pack / pack-objects) use --include-tag
as it prepares the packfile, thus ensuring that an annotated tag object
will be included in the resulting packfile if the object it refers to
was also included into the packfile.

The new option "--include-tag" allows the caller to request that
any annotated tag be included into the packfile if the object the tag
references was also included as part of the packfile.
This option can be useful on the server side of a native git transport,
where the server knows what commits it is including into a packfile to
update the client. If new annotated tags have been introduced then we
can also include them in the packfile, saving the client from needing
to request them through a second connection.
This change only introduces the backend option and provides a test.
Protocol extensions to make this useful in fetch-pack/upload-pack
are still necessary to activate the logic during transport.

git-merge used to use either the --squash,--no-squash, --no-ff,--ff,
--no-commit,--commit option, whichever came last in the command line.
This lead to some un-intuitive behavior, having
git merge --no-commit --no-ff <branch>
actually commit the merge. Now git-merge respects --no-commit together
with --no-ff, as well as other combinations of the options. However,
this broke a selftest in t/t7600-merge.sh which expected to have --no-ff
completely override the --squash option, so that
git merge --squash --no-ff <branch>
fast-forwards, and makes a merge commit; combining --squash with --no-ff
doesn't really make sense though, and is now refused by git-merge. The
test is adapted to test --no-ff without the preceding --squash, and
another test is added to make sure the --squash --no-ff combination is
refused.

Some callers may find it useful if "git describe" always gave back a
string that can be used as a shorter name for a commit object, rather than
checking its exit status (while squelching its error message, which could
potentially talk about more grave errors that should not be squelched) and
implementing a fallback themselves.

If the situation is the following on the remote and L is the common
base between both sides:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - A - O - O - B
\ \
origin/master master
and we have decided to fetch "master" to acquire the range L..B we
can also nab tag S at the same time during the first connection,
as we can clearly see from the refs advertised by upload-pack that
S^{} = B and master = B.
Unfortunately we still cannot nab T at the same time as we are not
able to see that T^{} will also be in the range implied by L..B.
Such computations must be performed on the remote side (not yet
supported) or on the client side as post-processing (the current
behavior).
This optimization is an extension of the previous one in that it
helps on projects which tend to publish both a new commit and a
new tag, then lay idle for a while before publishing anything else.
Most followers are able to download both the new commit and the new
tag in one connection, rather than two. git.git tends to follow
such patterns with its roughly once-daily updates from Junio.
A protocol extension and additional server side logic would be
necessary to also ensure T is grabbed on the first connection.

If autofollowing of tags is enabled, we see a new tag on the remote
that we don't have, and we already have the SHA-1 object that the
tag is peeled to, then we can fetch the tag while we are fetching
the other objects on the first connection.
This is a slight optimization for projects that have a habit of
tagging a release commit after most users have already seen and
downloaded that commit object through a prior fetch session. In
such cases the users may still find new objects in branch heads,
but the new tag will now also be part of the first pack transfer
and the subsequent connection to autofollow tags is not required.
Currently git.git does not benefit from this optimization as any
release usually gets a new commit at the same time that it gets a
new release tag, however git-gui.git and many other projects are
in the habit of tagging fairly old commits.
Users who did not already have the tagged commit still require
opening a second connection to autofollow the tag, as we are unable
to determine on the client side if $tag^{} will be sent to the
client during the first transfer or not. Such computation must be
performed on the remote side of the connection and is deferred to
another series of changes.
