88d9d45d07 git log -p -m: document -m and honor --first-parent
git log -p -m is used to show one merge entry per parent, with an
appropriate diff; this can be useful when examining histories where
full set of changes introduced by a merged branch is interesting, not
only the conflicts.

This patch properly documents the -m switch, which has so far been
mentioned only as a fairly special diff-tree flag.

It also makes the code show full patch entry only for the first parent
when --first-parent is used. Thus:

	git log -p -m --first-parent

will show the history from the "main branch perspective", while also
including full diff of changes introduced by other merged in branches.

9b4c8b0ae8 archive documentation: attributes are taken from the tree by default
By default, git-archive takes attributes from the tree being archived.
People however often wonder why their attempts to affect the way how the
command archives their tree by changing .gitattributes in their work tree
fail.

Add a bit of explanatory note to tell them how to achieve what they want

ae6a5609c0 run-command: support custom fd-set in async
This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file
descriptors for async process communication instead of the
default-created pipe.

Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the
async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write
file descriptors.

To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command,
we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable
file descriptor.  If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file
descriptor to the async process.

[sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is
     his work.  All bugs were introduced later by Shawn.]

89c3850019 git-clean: fix the description of the default behavior
Currently, when called without -n and -f, git clean issues

fatal: clean.requireForce not set and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean

which leaves the user wondering why force is required when requireForce
is not set. Looking up in git-clean(1) does not help because its
description is wrong.

Change it so that git clean issues

fatal: clean.requireForce defaults to true and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean

in this situation (and "...set to true..." when it is set) which makes
it clearer that an unset config means true here, and adjust the
documentation.

07cf0f2407 make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytes
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was
inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as
other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an
optional unit suffix.  This brings --max-pack-size in line with the
rest of Git.

Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous
megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a
minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files.

Adjust and extend test suite accordingly.

13be3e31f1 Reword "detached HEAD" notification
The old "advice" message explained how to create a branch after going into
a detached HEAD state but didn't make it clear why the user may want to do
so.  Also "moving to ... which isn't a local branch" was unclear if it is
complaining, if it is describing the new state, or if it is explaining why
the HEAD is detached (the true reason is the last one).

Give the established phrase 'detached HEAD' first to make it easy for
users to look up the concept in documentation, and briefly describe what
can be done in the state (i.e. play around without having to clean up)
before telling the user how to keep what was done during the temporary
state.

Allow the long description to be hidden by setting advice.detachedHead
configuration to false.

We might want to customize the advice depending on how the commit to check
out was spelled (e.g. instead of "new-branch-name", we way want to say
"topic" when "git checkout origin/topic" triggered this message) in later
updates, but this encapsulates that into a separate function and it should
be a good first step.

3588cf9481 Documentation: merge: use MERGE_HEAD to refer to the remote branch
commit 57bddb11 (Documentation/git-merge: reword references to
"remote" and "pull", 2010-01-07) fixed the manual to drop the
assumption that the other branch being merged is from a remote
repository.  Unfortunately, in a few places, to do so it
introduced the antecedentless phrase "their versions".  Worse, in
passages like the following, 'they' is playing two roles.

|   highlighting changes from both the HEAD and their versions.
|
| * Look at the diffs on their own. 'git log --merge -p <path>'

Using HEAD and MERGE_HEAD nicely assigns terminology to "our" and
"their" sides.  It also provides the reader with practice using
names that git will recognize on the command line.

ebef7e5049 Documentation: simplify How Merge Works
The user most likely does not care about the exact order of
operations because he cannot see it happening anyway.  Instead,
try to explain what it means to merge two commits into a single
tree.

While at it:

 - Change the heading to TRUE MERGE.  The entire manual page is
   about how merges work.

 - Document MERGE_HEAD.  It is a useful feature, since it makes
   the parents of the intended merge commit easier to refer to.

 - Do not assume commits named on the 'git merge' command line come
   from another repository.  For simplicity, the discussion of
   conflicts still does assume that there is only one and it is a
   branch head.

 - Do not start list items with `code`.  Otherwise, a toolchain bug
   produces a line break in the generated nroff, resulting in odd
   extra space.

30f2bade84 Documentation: emphasize when git merge terminates early
A merge-based operation in git can fail in two ways: one that
stops before touching anything, or one that goes ahead and
results in conflicts.

As the 'git merge' manual explains:

| A merge is always between the current `HEAD` and one or more
| commits (usually, branch head or tag), and the index file must
| match the tree of `HEAD` commit (i.e. the contents of the last commit)
| when it starts out.

Unfortunately, the placement of this sentence makes it easy to
skip over, and its formulation leaves the important point, that
any other attempted merge will be gracefully aborted, unspoken.

So give this point its own section and expand upon it.

Probably this could be simplified somewhat: after all, a change
registered in the index is just a special kind of local
uncommited change, so the second added paragraph is only a
special case of the first.  It seemed more helpful to be explicit
here.

075762085c git-svn: allow subset of branches/tags to be specified in glob spec
For very large projects it is useful to be able to clone a subset of the
upstream SVN repo's branches. Allow for this by letting the left-side of
the branches and tags glob specs contain a brace-delineated comma-separated
list of names. e.g.:

	branches = branches/{red,green}/src:refs/remotes/branches/*

3e18ce1ac3 git-svn: allow UUID to be manually remapped via rewriteUUID
In certain situations it may be necessary to manually remap an svn
repostitory UUID. For example:

                  o--- [git-svn clone]
                 /
[origin svn repo]
                 \
                  o--- [svnsync clone]

Imagine that only "git-svn clone" and "svnsync clone" are made available
to external users. Furthur, "git-svn clone" contains only trunk, and for
reasons unknown, "svnsync clone" is missing the revision properties that
normally provide the origin svn repo's UUID.

A git user who has cloned the "git-svn clone" repo now wishes to use
git-svn to pull in the missing branches from the "synsync clone" repo.
In order for git-svn to get the history correct for those branches,
it needs to know the origin svn repo's UUID. Hence rewriteUUID.

66b2ed09c2 Fix "log" family not to be too agressive about showing notes
Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.

Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.

Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

b706fcfe93 commit: allow suppression of implicit identity advice
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity
was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos
information, in case it is not correct. Most users will
suppress this by simply setting up their information
correctly.

However, there may be some users who consciously want to use
that information, because having the value change from host
to host contains useful information. These users can now set
advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message.

0a0416a34a strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user
format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly
unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single
"%", as that is what printf format specifiers do.

This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand():

 (1) git-daemon interpolated paths

 (2) pretty-print user formats

 (3) merge driver command lines

Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of
strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch.
Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing
behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

d38a30df7d Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.

A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

e11d7b5969 "reset --merge": fix unmerged case
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries.  But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used.  This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.

The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.

Fix it by doing three things:

 - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
   better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
   any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
   HEAD records";

 - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
   while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
   the object name from the higher stage entry.  The code used to take the
   object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
   stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
   that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.

   The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
   index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
   corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
   when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path.  In order to
   differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
   added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.

 - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
   cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED.  They are previously unmerged
   entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
   resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
   resetting to.

d0f379c2dc reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree"
This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly
instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more
efficient.

And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used,
as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing
which is quite complex.

As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new
version and the old one. The old version gives an error for
"git reset --merge" with unmerged entries, and the new version does
not when we reset the entries to some states that differ from HEAD.
Instead, it resets the index entry and succeeds, while leaving the
conflict markers in the corresponding file in the work tree (which
will be corrected by the next patch).

The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project:

03bd0d601e CVS Server: Support reading base and roots from environment
The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands
through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is
authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for
upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through
git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed
through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks
sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained.

Despite that, passing a repository root is necessary for per-user
access control by the hosting software, and passing a base path
improves usability without weakening security. Thus, git-cvsserver
needs to come up with these values at runtime by some other
means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other purposes,
the environment can carry these arguments as well.

Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOT} in
the absence of equivalent command line arguments.

claimed that we ignore such a misconfigured value.

5a518ad467 clone: use --progress to force progress reporting
Follow the argument convention of git-pack-objects, such that a
separate option (--preogress) is used to force progress reporting
instead of -v/--verbose.

-v/--verbose now does not force progress reporting. Make git-clone.txt
say so.

This should cover all the bases in 21188b1 (Implement git clone -v),
which implemented the option to force progress reporting.

486a3d7164 check stderr with isatty() instead of stdout when deciding to show progress
Make transport code (viz. transport.c::fetch_refs_via_pack() and
transport-helper.c::standard_options()) that decides to show progress
check if stderr is a terminal, instead of stdout. After all, progress
reports (via the API in progress.[ch]) are sent to stderr.

Update the documentation for git-clone to say "standard error" as well.

The current documentation fails to mention that 'git add -A/--all' can
remove files as well as add them, and it also does not say anything about
filepatterns (whether they are allowed, mandatory, or optional). It is
also not clear what the similarities and differences to the -u option are.

Update the intro paragraph (as suggested by Junio, with some minor edits)
to make it clear that 'git add' is able to delete and to also cover the -p
option.

Reword the description of -u to make it clearer (based on Björn
Steinbrink's suggestion).

Simplify the description of -A by saying "Like -u" and then describe the
differences (based on the suggestions by Björn Steinbrink and Junio).

bc3c79aefc fast-import: add (non-)relative-marks feature
After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.

In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.

Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.

Also add tests to verify this behavior.

081751c882 fast-import: allow for multiple --import-marks= arguments
The --import-marks= option may be specified multiple times on the
commandline and should result in all marks being read in. Only one
import-marks feature may be specified in the stream, which is
overriden by any --import-marks= commandline options.

If one wishes to specify import-marks files in addition to the one
specified in the stream, it is easy to repeat the stream option as a
--import-marks= commandline option.

Also verify this behavior with tests.

This allows the frontend to specify any of the supported options as
long as no non-option command has been given. This way the
user does not have to include any frontend-specific options, but
instead she can rely on the frontend to tell fast-import what it
needs.

Also factor out parsing of argv and have it execute when we reach the
first non-option command, or after all commands have been read and
no non-option command has been encountered.

Non-git options are ignored, unrecognised options result in an error.
