* np/delta:
improve diff-delta with sparse and/or repetitive data
tiny optimization to diff-delta
replace adler32 with Rabin's polynomial in diff-delta
use delta index data when finding best delta matches
split the diff-delta interface
This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.
On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
"GIT binary patch\n"
<length byte><data>"\n"
...
"\n"
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

This attempts to set up built-in "git grep" to further reduce
our dependence on the shell, while at the same time optionally
allowing to run grep against object database. You could do
funky things like these:
git grep --cached -e pattern ;# grep from index
git grep -e pattern master ;# or in a rev
git grep -e pattern master next ;# or in multiple revs
git grep -e pattern pu^@ ;# even like this with an
;# extension from another topic ;-)
git grep -e pattern master..next ;# or even from rev ranges
git grep -e pattern master~20:Documentation
;# or an arbitrary tree
git grep -e pattern next:git-commit.sh
;# or an arbitrary blob
Right now, it does not understand and/or obey many options grep
should accept, and the pattern must be given with -e option due
to the way the parameter parser is structured, both of which
obviously need to be fixed for usability.
But this is going in the right direction. The shell script
version is one of the worst Portability offender in the git
barebone Porcelainish; it uses xargs -0 to pass paths around and
shell arrays to sift flags and parameters.

This adds a builtin "push" command, which is largely just a C'ification of
the "git-push.sh" script.
Now, the reason I did it as a built-in is partly because it's yet another
step on relying less on shell, but it's actually mostly because I've
wanted to be able to push to _multiple_ repositories, and the most obvious
and simplest interface for that would seem be to just have a "remotes"
file that has multiple URL entries.
(For "pull", having multiple entries should either just select the first
one, or you could fall back on the others on failure - your choice).
And quite frankly, it just became too damn messy to do that in shell.
Besides, we actually have a fair amount of infrastructure in C, so it just
wasn't that hard to do.
Of course, this is almost totally untested. It probably doesn't work for
anything but the one trial I threw at it. "Simple" doesn't necessarily
mean "obviously correct".

The cache_tree data structure is to cache tree object names that
would result from the current index file.
The idea is to have an optional file to record each tree object
name that corresponds to a directory path in the cache when we
run write_cache(), and read it back when we run read_cache().
During various index manupulations, we selectively invalidate
the parts so that the next write-tree can bypass regenerating
tree objects for unchanged parts of the directory hierarchy.
We could perhaps make the cache-tree data an optional part of
the index file, but that would involve the index format updates,
so unless we need it for performance reasons, the current plan
is to use a separate file, $GIT_DIR/index.aux to store this
information and link it with the index file with the checksum
that is already used for index file integrity check.

This uses a simplified libxdiff setup to generate unified diffs _without_
doing fork/execve of GNU "diff".
This has several huge advantages, for example:
Before:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null
real 0m24.818s
user 0m13.332s
sys 0m8.664s
After:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null
real 0m4.563s
user 0m2.944s
sys 0m1.580s
and the fact that this should be a lot more portable (ie we can ignore all
the issues with doing fork/execve under Windows).
Perhaps even more importantly, this allows us to do diffs without actually
ever writing out the git file contents to a temporary file (and without
any of the shell quoting issues on filenames etc etc).
NOTE! THIS PATCH DOES NOT DO THAT OPTIMIZATION YET! I was lazy, and the
current "diff-core" code actually will always write the temp-files,
because it used to be something that you simply had to do. So this current
one actually writes a temp-file like before, and then reads it into memory
again just to do the diff. Stupid.
But if this basic infrastructure is accepted, we can start switching over
diff-core to not write temp-files, which should speed things up even
further, especially when doing big tree-to-tree diffs.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I should also point out a few
downsides:
- the libxdiff algorithm is different, and I bet GNU diff has gotten a
lot more testing. And the thing is, generating a diff is not an exact
science - you can get two different diffs (and you will), and they can
both be perfectly valid. So it's not possible to "validate" the
libxdiff output by just comparing it against GNU diff.
- GNU diff does some nice eye-candy, like trying to figure out what the
last function was, and adding that information to the "@@ .." line.
libxdiff doesn't do that.
- The libxdiff thing has some known deficiencies. In particular, it gets
the "\No newline at end of file" case wrong. So this is currently for
the experimental branch only. I hope Davide will help fix it.
That said, I think the huge performance advantage, and the fact that it
integrates better is definitely worth it. But it should go into a
development branch at least due to the missing newline issue.
Technical note: this is based on libxdiff-0.17, but I did some surgery to
get rid of the extraneous fat - stuff that git doesn't need, and seriously
cutting down on mmfile_t, which had much more capabilities than the diff
algorithm either needed or used. In this version, "mmfile_t" is just a
trivial <pointer,length> tuple.
That said, I tried to keep the differences to simple removals, so that you
can do a diff between this and the libxdiff origin, and you'll basically
see just things getting deleted. Even the mmfile_t simplifications are
left in a state where the diffs should be readable.
Apologies to Davide, whom I'd love to get feedback on this all from (I
wrote my own "fill_mmfile()" for the new simpler mmfile_t format: the old
complex format had a helper function for that, but I did my surgery with
the goal in mind that eventually we _should_ just do
mmfile_t mf;
buf = read_sha1_file(sha1, type, &size);
mf->ptr = buf;
mf->size = size;
.. use "mf" directly ..
which was really a nightmare with the old "helpful" mmfile_t, and really
is that easy with the new cut-down interfaces).
[ Btw, as any hawk-eye can see from the diff, this was actually generated
with itself, so it is "self-hosting". That's about all the testing it
has gotten, along with the above kernel diff, which eye-balls correctly,
but shows the newline issue when you double-check it with "git-apply" ]

git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.
Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.
Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.
In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.
This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.

Actually, I got interested in seeing how hard this is, and wrote a simple
first cut at doing a tree-optimized merger.
Let me shout a bit first:
THIS IS WORKING CODE, BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S A TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION
RATHER THAN THE FINAL PRODUCT!
With that out of the way, let me descibe what this does (and then describe
the missing parts).
This is basically a three-way merge that works entirely on the "tree"
level, rather than on the index. A lot of the _concepts_ are the same,
though, and if you're familiar with the results of an index merge, some of
the output will make more sense.
You give it three trees: the base tree (tree 0), and the two branches to
be merged (tree 1 and tree 2 respectively). It will then walk these three
trees, and resolve them as it goes along.
The interesting part is:
- it can resolve whole sub-directories in one go, without actually even
looking recursively at them. A whole subdirectory will resolve the same
way as any individual files will (although that may need some
modification, see later).
- if it has a "content conflict", for subdirectories that means "try to
do a recursive tree merge", while for non-subdirectories it's just a
content conflict and we'll output the stage 1/2/3 information.
- a successful merge will output a single stage 0 ("merged") entry,
potentially for a whole subdirectory.
- it outputs all the resolve information on stdout, so something like the
recursive resolver can pretty easily parse it all.
Now, the caveats:
- we probably need to be more careful about subdirectory resolves. The
trivial case (both branches have the exact same subdirectory) is a
trivial resolve, but the other cases ("branch1 matches base, branch2 is
different" probably can't be silently just resolved to the "branch2"
subdirectory state, since it might involve renames into - or out of -
that subdirectory)
- we do not track the current index file at all, so this does not do the
"check that index matches branch1" logic that the three-way merge in
git-read-tree does. The theory is that we'd do a full three-way merge
(ignoring the index and working directory), and then to update the
working tree, we'd do a two-way "git-read-tree branch1->result"
- I didn't actually make it do all the trivial resolve cases that
git-read-tree does. It's a technology demonstration.
Finally (a more serious caveat):
- doing things through stdout may end up being so expensive that we'd
need to do something else. In particular, it's likely that I should
not actually output the "merge results", but instead output a "merge
results as they _differ_ from branch1"
However, I think this patch is already interesting enough that people who
are interested in merging trees might want to look at it. Please keep in
mind that tech _demo_ part, and in particular, keep in mind the final
"serious caveat" part.
In many ways, the really _interesting_ part of a merge is not the result,
but how it _changes_ the branch we're merging into. That's particularly
important as it should hopefully also mean that the output size for any
reasonable case is minimal (and tracks what we actually need to do to the
current state to create the final result).
The code very much is organized so that doing the result as a "diff
against branch1" should be quite easy/possible. I was actually going to do
it, but I decided that it probably makes the output harder to read. I
dunno.
Anyway, let's think about this kind of approach.. Note how the code itself
is actually quite small and short, although it's prbably pretty "dense".
As an interesting test-case, I'd suggest this merge in the kernel:
git-merge-tree $(git-merge-base 4cbf876 7d2babc) 4cbf876 7d2babc
which resolves beautifully (there are no actual file-level conflicts), and
you can look at the output of that command to start thinking about what
it does.
The interesting part (perhaps) is that timing that command for me shows
that it takes all of 0.004 seconds.. (the git-merge-base thing takes
considerably more ;)
The point is, we _can_ do the actual merge part really really quickly.
Linus
PS. Final note: when I say that it is "WORKING CODE", that is obviously by
my standards. IOW, I tested it once and it gave reasonable results - so it
must be perfect.
Whether it works for anybody else, or indeed for any other test-case, is
not my problem ;)

This revamps the git-status command to take the same set of
parameters as git commit. It gives a preview of what is being
committed with that command. With -v flag, it shows the diff
output between the HEAD commit and the index that would be
committed if these flags were given to git-commit command.
git-commit also acquires -v flag (it used to mean "verify" but
that is the default anyway and there is --no-verify to turn it
off, so not much is lost), which uses the updated git-status -v
to seed the commit log buffer. This is handy for writing a log
message while reviewing the changes one last time.
Now, git-commit and git-status are internally share the same
implementation.
Unlike previous git-commit change, this uses a temporary index
to prepare the index file that would become the real index file
after a successful commit, and moves it to the real index file
once the commit is actually made. This makes it safer than the
previous scheme, which stashed away the original index file and
restored it after an aborted commit.

In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches,
the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over
and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged
to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream).
This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this
process by recording the conflicted automerge results and
corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge,
and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying
the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

A new option '-c' to diff-tree changes the way a merge commit is
displayed when generating a patch output. It shows a "combined
diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this:
$ git-diff-tree --pretty -c -p fec9ebf1 | head -n 18
diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents)
Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae...

- static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one)
++ static void describe(char *arg, int last_one)
{
+ unsigned char sha1[20];
+ struct commit *cmit;
There are a few things to note about this feature:
- The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway
in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all
merges.
- When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff
for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows
paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things").
- As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is
not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to
show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no
combined diff output.
- Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome.
A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth
parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed
from that parent's version).
A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the
merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line
(i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another
parent).
The above example output shows that the function signature was
changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++"
line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was
inherited from the first parent.
The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases,
which I have fixed since then.
It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers
from parent commits, which it probably should.

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.
Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.
What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b
ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b19.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

This patch provides a C implementation of the 'git' program and

git --exec-path
which will hopefully give porcelainistas ample time to adapt their

the extra fork() / execve() overhead, although that's not really
necessary any more.
The --exec-path value is prepended to $PATH, so the git-* programs

A while ago, a rename-detection limit logic was implemented as a
response to this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112413080630175
where gitweb was found to be using a lot of time and memory to
detect renames on huge commits. git-diff family takes -l<num>
flag, and if the number of paths that are rename destination
candidates (i.e. new paths with -M, or modified paths with -C)
are larger than that number, skips rename/copy detection even
when -M or -C is specified on the command line.
This commit makes the rename detection limit easier to use. You
can have:
[diff]
renamelimit = 30
in your .git/config file to specify the default rename detection
limit. You can override this from the command line; giving 0
means 'unlimited':
git diff -M -l0
We might want to change the default behaviour, when you do not
have the configuration, to limit it to say 20 paths or so. This
would also help the diffstat generation after a big 'git pull'.

I think the original intention was to make CFLAGS overridable
from the make command line, but somehow we ended up accumulating
conditional makefile sections that wrongly appends values to
CFLAGs. These assignments do not work when the user actually
override them from the make command line!
DEFINES are handled the same way; it was seemingly overridable,
but the makefile sections had assignments, which meant
overriding it from the command line broke things.
This simplifies things by limiting the internal futzing to
ALL_CFLAGS, and by removing DEFINES altogether. Overriding

Done in 0.99.9
==============
Ports
~~~~~
* Cygwin port [HPA].
* OpenBSD build [Merlyn and others].
Fixes
~~~~~
* clone request over git native protocol from a repository with
too many refs did not work; this has been fixed.
* git-daemon got safer for kernel.org use [HPA].
* Extended SHA1 parser was not enforcing uniqueness for
abbreviated SHA1; this has been fixed.
* http transport does not barf on funny characters in URL.
* The ref naming restrictions have been formalized and the
coreish refuses to create funny refs; we still need to audit
importers. See git-check-ref-format(1).
New Features and Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* .git/config file as a per-repository configuration mechanism,
and some commands understand it [Linus]. See
git(7).
* The core.filemode configuration item can be used to make us a
bit more FAT friendly. See git(7).
* The extended SHA1 notation acquired Peel-the-onion operator
^{type} and ^{}. See git-rev-parse(1).
* SVN importer [Matthias]. See git-svnimport(1).
* .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2} directories are created on demand,
and removed when becomes empty after prune-packed [Linus].
* Filenames output from various commands without -z option are
quoted when they embed funny characters (TAB and LF) using
C-style quoting within double-quotes, to match the proposed
GNU diff/patch notation [me, but many people contributed in
the discussion].
* git-mv is expected to be a better replacement for git-rename.
While the latter has two parameter restriction, it acts more
like the regular 'mv' that can move multiple things to one
destinatino directory [Josef Weidendorfer].
* git-checkout can take filenames to revert the changes to
them. See git-checkout(1)
* The new program git-am is a replacement for git-applymbox that
has saner command line options and a bit easier to use when a
patch does not apply cleanly.
* git-ls-remote can show unwrapped onions using ^{} notation, to
help Cogito to track tags.
* git-merge-recursive backend can merge unrelated projects.
* git-clone over native transport leaves the result packed.
* git-http-fetch issues multiple requests in parallel when
underlying cURL library supports it [Nick and Daniel].
* git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack try harder to figure out
better common commits [Johannes].
* git-read-tree -u removes a directory when it makes it empty.
* git-diff-* records abbreviated SHA1 names of original and
resulting blob; this sometimes helps to apply otherwise an
unapplicable patch by falling back to 3-way merge.
* git-format-patch now takes series of from..to rev ranges and
with '-m --stdout', writes them out to the standard output.
This can be piped to 'git-am' to implement cheaper
cherry-picking.
* git-tag takes '-u' to specify the tag signer identity [Linus].
* git-rev-list can take optional pathspecs to skip commits that
do not touch them (--dense) [Linus].
* Comes with new and improved gitk [Paulus and Linus].

git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by
walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the
following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous
names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller.
With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags.
With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name
could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".)

git-pack-objects can reuse pack files stored in $GIT_DIR/pack-cache
directory, when a necessary pack is found. This is hopefully useful
when upload-pack (called from git-daemon) is expected to receive
requests for the same set of objects many times (e.g full cloning
request of any project, or updates from the set of heads previous day
to the latest for a slow moving project).
Currently git-pack-objects does *not* keep pack files it creates for
reusing. It might be useful to add --update-cache option to it,
which would allow it store pack files it created in the pack-cache
directory, and prune rarely used ones from it.

It supersedes git-rename by adding functionality to move multiple
files, directories or symlinks into another directory. It also
provides according documentation.
The implementation renames multiple files, using the arguments from
the command line to produce an array of sources and destinations. In
a first pass, all requested renames are checked for errors, and
overwriting of existing files is only allowed with '-f'. The actual
renaming is done in a second pass. This ensures that any error
condition is checked before anything is changed.

This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree"
program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file.
This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a
specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history.
Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves
some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.
The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the
diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.
Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is

This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.
The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:
#
# This is the config file, and
# a '#' or ';' character indicates
# a comment
#
; core variables
[core]
; Don't trust file modes
filemode = false
; Our diff algorithm
[diff]
external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
renames = true
which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.
Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.
Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.

This is a careful version of the script stuff that currently just
blindly writes HEAD with a new value.
You can use
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead>
or
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead> <oldhead>
where the latter version verifies that the old value of HEAD matches
oldhead.
It basically allows a "ref" file to be a symbolic pointer to another ref
file by starting with the four-byte header sequence of "ref:".
More importantly, it allows the update of a ref file to follow these
symbolic pointers, whether they are symlinks or these "regular file
symbolic refs".
NOTE! It follows _real_ symlinks only if they start with "refs/":
otherwise it will just try to read them and update them as a regular file
(ie it will allow the filesystem to follow them, but will overwrite such a
symlink to somewhere else with a regular filename).
In general, using
git-update-ref HEAD "$head"
should be a _lot_ safer than doing
echo "$head" > "$GIT_DIR/HEAD"
both from a symlink following standpoint _and_ an error checking
standpoint. The "refs/" rule for symlinks means that symlinks that point
to "outside" the tree are safe: they'll be followed for reading but not
for writing (so we'll never write through a ref symlink to some other
tree, if you have copied a whole archive by creating a symlink tree).

The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.
If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.
If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.
The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:
- A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.
- They take input of this form:
<common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>...
That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
the current branch.
- Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
matched to the current <head>.
- The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do
update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
index file will be used to record the merge result as a
commit by the driver.
- The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the
merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.
- The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.
As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on
'git resolve' and 'git octopus'.

[JC: I've done this slightly differently from what Patrick originally
sent to the list and dropped the bit that deals with installations
that has curl header and library at non-default location. I am
resisting the slipperly slope called autoconf.]

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

Also make platform specific part more isolated. Currently we only
have Darwin defined, but I've taken a look at SunOS specific patch
(which I dropped on the floor for now) as well. Doing things this way
would make adding it easier.

Now the rebase is rewritten to use git cherry-pick, there is no user
for that ancient script. I've checked Cogito and StGIT to make sure
they do not use it.

The reverse patch application using "git apply" sometimes is too
rigid. Since the user would get used to resolving conflicting merges
by hand during the normal merge experience, using the same machinery
would be more helpful rather than just giving up.
Cherry-picking and reverting are essentially the same operation.
You pick one commit, and apply the difference that commit introduces
to its own commit ancestry chain to the current tree. Revert applies
the diff in reverse while cherry-pick applies it forward. They share
the same logic, just different messages and merge direction.
Rewrite "git rebase" using "git cherry-pick".

You can define WITH_SEND_EMAIL to include the send-email command as
part of the installation. Since Debian, unlike RPM/Fedora, has the
two necessary Perl modules available as part of the mainline
distribution, there is no reason for us to shy away from shipping
send-email.

This script uses the list of heads and their origin multi-head "git
fetch" left in the $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD file, and makes an octopus
merge on top of the current HEAD using them.
The implementation tries to be strict for the sake of safety. It
insists that your working tree is clean (no local changes) and matches
the HEAD, and when any of the merged heads does not automerge, the
whole process is aborted and tries to rewind your working tree is to
the original state.

Update git-pull to match updated git-fetch and allow pull to
fetch from multiple remote references. There is no support for
resolving more than two heads, which will be done with "git
octopus".
Update "git ls-remote" to use git-parse-remote-script.

When showing only one branch a lot of default output becomes redundant,
so clean it up a bit, and document what is shown. Retire the earlier
implementation "git-show-branches-script".
