6538d1ef31 Makefile: add quick-install-doc for installing pre-built manpages
This adds and uses the install-doc-quick.sh file to
Documentation/, which is usable for people who track either the
'html' or 'man' heads in Junio's repository (prefixed with
'origin/' if cloned locally).  You may override this by
specifying DOC_REF in the make environment or in config.mak.

GZ may also be set in the environment (or config.mak) if you
wish to gzip the documentation after installing it.

f49006b0c7 Make git-show-branch options similar to git-branch.
Branch has "-r" for remote branches and "-a" for local and remote.
It seems logical to mirror that in show-branch.  Also removes the
dubiously useful "--tags" option (as part of changing the meaning
for "--all").

63085fabbd git-clone: lose the traditional 'no-separate-remote' layout
Finally.

The separate-remote layout is so much more organized than
traditional and easier to work with especially when you need to
deal with remote repositories with multiple branches and/or you
need to deal with more than one remote repositories, and using
traditional layout for new repositories simply does not make
much sense.

Internally we still have code for 1:1 mappings to create a bare
clone; that is a good thing and will not go away.

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.

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

Includes documentation and test.

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").

Suggested in part by Andy Parkins in his Git 'niggles' list

f2dd1c9adf Revert "git-diff: Introduce --index and deprecate --cached."
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.

the introduction.

times on the mailing list:

	1. Recommend committing any changes before running pull.
	2. Note that changes must be commited before they can be pushed.

Update the clone discussion to reflect the new --use-separate-remotes
default, and add a brief mention of git-cvsserver.

c976d415e5 git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming
Extend git-branch with the following options:

  git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch

The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting
branchname.

This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.

Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.

Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

366bfcb68f make 'git add' a first class user friendly interface to the index
This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model
without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the
technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page.

   Any content to be committed must be added together.  Whether that
   content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter.  You
   just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing
   git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course).

No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files
please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have
when using GIT.

b360cca0b1 git-clone: Rename --use-immingled-remote option to --no-separate-remote
With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.

Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote
option to git clone.

Introducing yourself to git early would be a good idea; otherwise
the user may not find the mistake until much later when "git log"
is learned.

Teaching "commit -a" without saying that it is a shortcut for
listing the paths to commit leaves the user puzzled.  Teach the

This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt
enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format

There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what
goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to
the 'raw' format.

bfcc921430 Add support to git-branch to show local and remote branches
Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of
structures is created.  Each of these stores the refname and a
symbolic constant representing its type.

The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line
switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote
branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local
branches or remote branches".

As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in
print_ref_list() where it used.

Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the
list creation was never freed.

It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being
'git branch' it is not currently used.

17bcdad3b7 git-merge: make it usable as the first class UI
This teaches the oft-requested syntax

	git merge $commit

to implement merging the named commit to the current branch.
This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class
UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull".

Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can
say for example:

	git merge js/shortlog~2

to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest
of it.

A custom merge message can be given with the new --message=<msg>
parameter.  The message is prepended in front of the usual
"Merge ..." message autogenerated with fmt-merge-message.

45bf473a7b git-svn: fix dcommit losing changes when out-of-date from svn
There was a bug in dcommit (and commit-diff) which caused deltas
to be generated against the latest version of the changed file
in a repository, and not the revision we are diffing (the tree)
against locally.

This bug can cause recent changes to the svn repository to be
silently clobbered by git-svn if our repository is out-of-date.

Thanks to Steven Grimm for noticing the bug.

The (few) people using the commit-diff command are now required
to use the -r/--revision argument.  dcommit usage is unchanged.
