When you have to add certain lines like ACKs (or for that matter,
Signed-off-by:s) to a range of commits starting with HEAD, you might
be tempted to use 'git rebase -i -10', but that is a waste of your
time.
It is better to use 'git filter-branch' with an appropriate message
filter, and this commit adds an example how to do so to
filter-branch's man page.

Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly
removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading
path that is a symlink. It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was
broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked
symlinks, 2009-07-29).
I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter
(prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire
a similar function has_dirs_only_path().
Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and
base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index"
when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there. It
might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir
feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know.
But at least this patch should fix this breakage.

The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:
1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
be shared.
2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
repo.
This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.
For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".
For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

In 0392513 (add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling, 2009-04-16),
we merged the interaction loops for mode changes and hunk staging.
This was fine at the time, because 0beee4c (git-add--interactive:
remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02) removed hunk coalescing.
However, in 7a26e65 (Revert "git-add--interactive: remove hunk
coalescing", 2009-05-16), we resurrected it. Since then, the code
would attempt in vain to merge mode changes with diff hunks,
corrupting both in the process.
We add a check to the coalescing loop to ensure it only looks at diff
hunks, thus skipping mode changes.

We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.
This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.
Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.
A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

Previously when merging directly from a local tracking
branch like:
git merge origin/master
The merge message said:
Merge commit 'origin/master'
* commit 'origin/master':
...
Instead, let's be more explicit about what we are merging:
Merge remote branch 'origin/master'
* origin/master:
...
We accomplish this by recognizing remote tracking branches
in git-merge when we build the simulated FETCH_HEAD output
that we feed to fmt-merge-msg.

If we have both a tag and a branch named "foo", then calling
"git merge foo" will warn about the ambiguous ref, but merge
the tag.
When generating the commit message, though, we simply
checked whether "refs/heads/foo" existed, and if it did,
assumed it was a branch. This led to the statement "Merge
branch 'foo'" in the commit message, which is quite wrong.
Instead, we should use dwim_ref to find the actual ref used,
and describe it appropriately.
In addition to the test in t7608, we must also tweak the
expected output of t4202, which was accidentally triggering
this bug.

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.
A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.
While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or

the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,
breaking, for example, clones from a path that has two consecutive spaces
in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation. This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.
A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.

This test creates two directories, a/b and a/b-2, then replaces a/b with
a symlink to a/b-2, then merges that change into the 'baseline' commit,
which contains an unrelated change.
There are two bugs:
1. 'git checkout' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
2. 'git merge' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
The test goes on to create another branch in which a/b-2 is replaced
with a symlink to a/b (i.e., the reverse of what was done the first
time), and merge it into the 'baseline' commit.
There is a different bug:
