a624eaa782 add boolean diff.suppress-blank-empty config option
GNU diff's --suppress-blank-empty option makes it so that diff no
longer outputs trailing white space unless the input data has it.
With this option, empty context lines are now empty also in diff -u output.
Before, they would have a single trailing space.

 * diff.c (diff_suppress_blank_empty): New global.
   (git_diff_basic_config): Set it.
   (fn_out_consume): Honor it.
 * t/t4029-diff-trailing-space.sh: New file.
 * Documentation/config.txt: Document it.

19a31f9c1a git-submodule - Add 'foreach' subcommand
submodule foreach <command-list> will execute the list of commands in
each currently checked out submodule directory. The list of commands
is arbitrary as long as it is acceptable to sh. The variables '$path'
and '$sha1' are availble to the command-list, defining the submodule
path relative to the superproject and the submodules's commitID as
recorded in the superproject (this may be different than HEAD in the
submodule).

This utility is inspired by a number of threads on the mailing list
looking for ways to better integrate submodules in a tree and work
with them as a unit. This could include fetching a new branch in each
from a given source, or possibly checking out a given named branch in
each. Currently, there is no consensus as to what additional commands
should be implemented in the porcelain, requiring all users whose needs
exceed that of git-submodule to do their own scripting. The foreach
command is intended to support such scripting, and in particular does
no error checking and produces no output, thus allowing end users
complete control over any information printed out and over what
constitutes an error. The processing does terminate if the command-list
returns an error, but processing can easily be forced for all
submodules be terminating the list with ';true'.

a5ab00c5d2 git-stash: improve synopsis in help and manual page
"git stash -h" showed some incomplete and ugly usage information.
For example, the useful "--keep-index" option for "save" or the "--index"
option for  "apply" were not shown. Also in the documentation synopsis they
were not shown, so that there is no incentive to scroll down and even see
that such options exist.

This patch improves the git-stash synopsis in the documentation by
mentioning that further options to the stash commands and then copies
this synopsis to the usage information string of git-stash.sh.

For the latter, the dashless git command string has to be inserted on the
second and the following usage lines. The code of this is taken from
git-sh-setup so that all lines will show the command string.

Note that the "create" command is not advertised at all now, because
it was not mentioned in git-stash.txt.

When feeding trees on the command line, you can give exactly two
trees, not three nor one; --stdin now supports this "two tree" form on
its input, in addition to accepting lines with one or more commits.

When diffing trees (either specified on the command line or from the
standard input), the -s, -v, --pretty, --abbrev-commit, --encoding,
--no-commit-id, and --always options are ignored, since they do not
apply to trees; and the -m, -c, and --cc options are ignored since
they would be meaningful only with three or more trees, which is not

ba24e7457a git-svn: add ability to specify --commit-url for dcommit
This allows one to use public svn:// URLs for fetch and
svn+ssh:// URLs for committing (without using the complicated
rewriteRoot option, reimporting or git-filter-branch).

Using this can also help avoid unnecessary server
authentication/encryption overhead on busy SVN servers.

Along with the new --revision option, this can also be allowed
to override the branch detection in dcommit, too.  This is
potentially dangerous and not recommended!  (And also purposely
undocumented, but the loaded gun is there in case somebody
wants to make it safe).

eabbc99a21 fix diff-tree --stdin documentation
Long time ago, the feature of "diff-tree --stdin" to take a commit and its
parents on one line was broken, and did not support the common:

    git rev-list --parents $commits... -- $paths... |
    git diff-tree --stdin -v -p

usage pattern by Porcelains properly.  For diff-tree to talk sensibly
about commits, it needs to see commits, not just trees; the code was fixed
to take list of commits on the standard input in 1.2.0.

However we left the documentation stale for a long time, until Karl
Hasselström finally noticed it very recently.

6546b5931e revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
The --full-history traversal keeps all merges in addition to non-merge
commits that touch paths in the given pathspec.  This is useful to view
both sides of a merge in a topology like this:

        A---M---o
       /   /
   ---O---B

even when A and B makes identical change to the given paths.  The revision
traversal without --full-history aims to come up with the simplest history
to explain the final state of the tree, and one of the side branches can
be pruned away.

The behaviour to keep all merges however is inconvenient if neither A nor
B touches the paths we are interested in.  --full-history reduces the
topology to:

   ---O---M---o

in such a case, without removing M.

This adds a post processing phase on top of --full-history traversal to
remove needless merges from the resulting history.

The idea is to compute, for each commit in the "full history" result set,
the commit that should replace it in the simplified history.  The commit
to replace it in the final history is determined as follows:

 * In any case, we first figure out the replacement commits of parents of
   the commit we are looking at.  The commit we are looking at is
   rewritten as if the replacement commits of its original parents are its
   parents.  While doing so, we reduce the redundant parents from the
   rewritten parent list by not just removing the identical ones, but also
   removing a parent that is an ancestor of another parent.

 * After the above parent simplification, if the commit is a root commit,
   an UNINTERESTING commit, a merge commit, or modifies the paths we are
   interested in, then the replacement commit of the commit is itself.  In
   other words, such a commit is not dropped from the final result.

The first point above essentially means that the history is rewritten in
the bottom up direction.  We can rewrite the parent list of a commit only
after we know how all of its parents are rewritten.  This means that the
processing needs to happen on the full history (i.e. after limit_list()).

git-add -i ranges expect number-number. But for the supremely lazy, typing in
that second number when selecting "from patch 7 to the end" is wasted effort.
So treat an empty second number in a range as "until the last item".

A new configuration variable 'core.trustctime' is introduced to
allow ignoring st_ctime information when checking if paths
in the working tree has changed, because there are situations where
it produces too much false positives.  Like when file system crawlers
keep changing it when scanning and using the ctime for marking scanned
files.

The default is to notice ctime changes.

a2d07d80ec document that git-tag can tag more than heads
After looking the git-tag manpage, someone on #git wondered how
to tag a commit that is not a branch head.  This patch changes
the synopsis to say "<commit> | <object>" instead of "<head>" to
address his question.

Samuel Bronson had the idea of putting "<commit> | <object>"
for "<object>" because most tags point to commits (and for the
rest of the manpage, all tags point to commits).

03db4525d3 Support gitlinks in fast-import.
Currently fast-import/export cannot be used for
repositories with submodules. This patch extends
the relevant programs to make them correctly
process gitlinks.

Links can be represented by two forms of the
Modify command:

M 160000 SHA1 some/path

which sets the link target explicitly, or

M 160000 :mark some/path

where the mark refers to a commit. The latter
form can be used by importing tools to build
all submodules simultaneously in one physical
repository, and then simply fetch them apart.

c0be8aa06b Documentation/git-merge.txt: Partial rewrite of How Merge Works
The git-merge documentation's "HOW MERGE WORKS" section is confusingly
composed and actually omits the most interesting part, the merging of
the arguments into HEAD itself, surprisingly not actually mentioning
the fast-forward merge anywhere.

This patch replaces the "[NOTE]" screenful of highly technical details
by a single sentence summing up the interesting information, and instead
explains how are the arguments compared with HEAD and the three possible
inclusion states that are named "Already up-to-date", "Fast-forward"
and "True merge". It also makes it clear that the rest of the section
talks only about the true merge situation, and slightly expands the
talk on solving conflicts.

Junio initiated the removal of the Note screenful altogether and
offered many stylistical fixes.
