git-remote currently has one option, "--mirror", which sets
up mirror configuration which can be used for either
fetching or pushing. It looks like this:
[remote "mirror"]
url = wherever
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
mirror = true
However, a remote like this can be dangerous and confusing.
Specifically:
1. If you issue the wrong command, it can be devastating.
You are not likely to "push" when you meant to "fetch",
but "git remote update" will try to fetch it, even if
you intended the remote only for pushing. In either
case, the results can be quite destructive. An
unintended push will overwrite or delete remote refs,
and an unintended fetch can overwrite local branches.
2. The tracking setup code can produce confusing results.
The fetch refspec above means that "git checkout -b new
master" will consider refs/heads/master to come from
the remote "mirror", even if you only ever intend to
push to the mirror. It will set up the "new" branch to
track mirror's refs/heads/master.
3. The push code tries to opportunistically update
tracking branches. If you "git push mirror foo:bar",
it will see that we are updating mirror's
refs/heads/bar, which corresponds to our local
refs/heads/bar, and will update our local branch.
To solve this, we split the concept into "push mirrors" and
"fetch mirrors". Push mirrors set only remote.*.mirror,
solving (2) and (3), and making an accidental fetch write
only into FETCH_HEAD. Fetch mirrors set only the fetch
refspec, meaning an accidental push will not force-overwrite
or delete refs on the remote end.
The new syntax is "--mirror=<fetch|push>". For
compatibility, we keep "--mirror" as-is, setting up both
types simultaneously.

It doesn't make sense to use "-m" on a mirror, since "-m"
sets up the HEAD symref in the remotes namespace, but with
mirror, we are by definition not using a remotes namespace.
Similarly, it does not make much sense to specify refspecs
with --mirror. For a mirror you plan to push to, those
refspecs will be ignored. For a mirror you are fetching
from, there is no point in mirroring, since the refspec
specifies everything you want to grab.
There is one case where "--mirror -t <X>" would be useful.
Because <X> is used as-is in the refspec, and because we
append it to to refs/, you could mirror a subset of the
hierarchy by doing:
git remote add --mirror -t 'tags/*'
But using anything besides a single branch as an argument to
"-t" is not documented and only happens to work, so closing
it off is not a serious regression.

Fractional timezones, like -0330 (NST used in Canada) or +0430
(Afghanistan, Iran DST), were not handled properly in parse_date; this
means values such as 'minute_local' and 'iso-tz' were not generated
correctly.
This was caused by two mistakes:
* sign of timezone was applied only to hour part of offset, and not
as it should be also to minutes part (this affected only negative
fractional timezones).
* 'int $h + $m/60' is 'int($h + $m/60)' and not 'int($h) + $m/60',
so fractional part was discarded altogether ($h is hours, $m is
minutes, which is always less than 60).
Note that positive fractional timezones +0430, +0530 and +1030 can be
found as authortime in git.git repository itself.
For example http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/88d50e7 had authortime
of "Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:48:07 +0000 (23:48 +0530)", which is not marked
with 'atnight', when "git show 88d50e7" gives correct author date of
"Sat Jan 9 00:18:07 2010 +0530".

'git am --abort' is around for quite a long time now, and users should
normally not poke around inside the .git directory, yet the
documentation of 'git am' still recommends the following:
... if you decide to start over from scratch,
run `rm -f -r .git/rebase-apply` ...
Suggest 'git am --abort' instead.
It's not quite the same as the original, because 'git am --abort' will
restore the original branch, while simply removing '.git/rebase-apply'
won't, but that's rather a thinko in the original wording, because
that won't actually "start over _from scratch_".

If gitk is not available in the PATH, bisect ends up
exiting with the shell's 127 error code, confusing the git
wrapper into thinking that bisect is not a git command.
We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a
graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk
is not available in our PATH at all. This not only fixes the
ugly error message, but is a much more sensible default than
failing to show the user anything.

Consider the following code fragment:
/*
* test
*/
vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a
tab:
^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$
By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML
output:
$ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c
<span class="hl com">/*</span>
<span class="hl com"> * test</span>
<span class="hl com"> */</span>
vim list mode:
^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I */</span>$
In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:
1 /*
2 * test
3 */
I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.
The desired output is:
1 /*
2 * test
3 */
This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the
highlight command line.

Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.
Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some
distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

Introduce two functions:
- prepare_submodule_summary prepares the revision walker
to list changes in a submodule. That is, it:
* finds merge bases between the commits pointed to this
path from before ("left") and after ("right") the change;
* checks whether this is a fast-forward or fast-backward;
* prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric
difference between the commits at each endpoint.
It returns nonzero on error.
- print_submodule_summary runs the revision walk and saves
the result to a strbuf in --left-right format.

In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:
struct foo {
int bar;
char *baz;
};
Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

The description was unclear if -c or --cc was the default (--cc is for
some commands), and incorrectly implied that the default applies to
all the diff generating commands.
Most importantly, "log" does not default to "--cc" (it defaults to
"--no-merges") and "log -p" obeys the user's wish to see non-combined
format. Only "diff" (during merge and three-blob comparison) and
"show" use --cc as the default.
