When we taught read_directory_recursive() to recurse into untracked
directories in search of ignored files given DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, that
had the side effect of teaching it to collect the untracked contents of
untracked directories. It doesn't always make sense to return these,
though (we do need them for `clean -d`), so we introduce a flag
(DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS) to control whether or not read_directory()
strips dir->entries of the untracked contents of untracked dirs.
We also introduce check_contains() to check if one dir_entry corresponds
to a path which contains the path corresponding to another dir_entry.
This also fixes known breakages in t7061, since status --ignored now
searches untracked directories for ignored files.

Stop promising in our grep & rev-list options documentation that we're
always going to be using libpcre when given the --perl-regexp option.
Instead talk about using "Perl-compatible regular expressions" and
using these types of patterns using "a compile-time dependency".
Saying "libpcre" means that we're talking about libpcre.so, which is
always going to be v1. This change is part of an ongoing saga to add
support for libpcre2, which comes with PCRE v2.
In the future we might use some completely unrelated library to
provide perl-compatible regular expression support. By wording the
documentation differently and not promising any specific version of
PCRE or even PCRE at all we have more wiggle room to change the
implementation.

Change the conditional inclusion mechanism to support
e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo where ~/git_tree is a symlink to
/mnt/stuff/repo.
This worked in the initial version of this facility[1], but regressed
later in the series while solving a related bug[2].
Now gitdir: will match against the symlinked
path (e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo) in addition to the current
/mnt/stuff/repo path.
Since this is already in a release version note in the documentation
that this behavior changed, so users who expect their configuration to
work on both v2.13.0 and some future version of git with this fix
aren't utterly confused.

"git read-tree -m" requires a tree argument to name the tree to be

warning: read-tree: emptying the index with no arguments is
deprecated; use --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
$ git read-tree -m --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
When lucky, that could produce an ah-hah moment for the user, but it's
more likely to irritate and distract them.
Instead, tell the user plainly that the tree argument is

In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack
was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the
push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however,
receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push
options outside the cert.
Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a
signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and
outside the cert are consistent.
This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its
push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the
alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is
backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push
options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only
outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

Git's configuration system works by reading multiple configuration
files in order, from general to specific:
- first, the system configuration /etc/gitconfig
- then the user's configuration (~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config)
- then the repository configuration (.git/config)
For single-valued configuration items, the latest value wins. For
multi-valued configuration items, values accumulate in that order.
For example, this allows setting a credential helper globally in
~/.gitconfig that git will try to use in all repositories, regardless
of whether they additionally provide another helper. This is usually
a nice thing --- e.g. I can install helpers to use my OS keychain and
to cache credentials for a short period of time globally.
Sometimes people want to be able to override an inherited setting.
For the credential.helper setting, this is done by setting the
configuration item to empty before giving it a new value. This is
already documented but the documentation is hard to find ---
git-config(1) says to look at gitcredentials(7) and the config
reference in gitcredentials(7) doesn't mention this issue.
Move the documentation to the config reference to make it easier to
find.

Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags.
Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without
also fetching its tags.
When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be
cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now
--no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without
tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch.
This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a
normal clone but not fetch any tags.
Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number
of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a
command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead
of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will
slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly
show ~40k references instead of 1.
The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a
repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like
a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring
about any other references.
Without this change the only way of accomplishing this was either by
manually tweaking the config in a fresh repository:
git init git &&
cat >git/.git/config <<EOF &&
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:git/git.git
tagOpt = --no-tags
fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
EOF
cd git &&
git pull
Which requires hardcoding the "master" name, which may not be the main
--single-branch would have retrieved, or alternatively by setting
tagOpt=--no-tags right after cloning & deleting any existing tags:
git clone --single-branch git@github.com:git/git.git &&
cd git &&
git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d
Which of course was also subtly buggy if --branch was pointed at a
tag, leaving the user in a detached head:
git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 git@github.com:git/git.git &&
cd git &&
git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d
Now all this complexity becomes the much simpler:
git clone --single-branch --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git
Or in the case of cloning a single tag "branch":
git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Also update the documentation describing the fetch-pack/upload-pack

place of "ACK" or "NAK". In practice, this has been done for quite some
time by other Git implementations (e.g. JGit sends "want $id not valid")
and by Git itself (since commit bdb31ea: "upload-pack: report "not our

Suppose I have a superproject 'super', with two submodules 'super/sub'
and 'super/sub1'. 'super/sub' itself contains a submodule
'super/sub/subsub'. Now suppose I run, from within 'super':
echo hi >sub/subsub/stray-file
echo hi >sub1/stray-file
Currently we get would see the following output in git-status:
git status --short
m sub
? sub1
With this patch applied, the untracked file in the nested submodule is
displayed as an untracked file on the 'super' level as well.
git status --short
? sub
? sub1
This doesn't change the output of 'git status --porcelain=1' for nested
submodules, because its output is always ' M' for either untracked files
or local modifications no matter the nesting level of the submodule.
'git status --porcelain=2' is affected by this change in a nested
submodule, though. Without this patch it would report the direct submodule
as modified and having no untracked files. With this patch it would report
untracked files. Chalk this up as a bug fix.
This bug fix also affects the default output (non-short, non-porcelain)
of git-status, which is not tested here.

If I add an untracked file to a submodule or modify a tracked file,
currently "git status --short" treats the change in the same way as
changes to the current HEAD of the submodule:
$ git clone --quiet --recurse-submodules https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
$ echo hello >gerrit/plugins/replication/stray-file
$ sed -i -e 's/.*//' gerrit/plugins/replication/.mailmap
$ git -C gerrit status --short
M plugins/replication
This is by analogy with ordinary files, where "M" represents a change
that has not been added yet to the index. But this change cannot be
added to the index without entering the submodule, "git add"-ing it,
and running "git commit", so the analogy is counterproductive.
Introduce new status letters " ?" and " m" for this. These are similar
to the existing "??" and " M" but mean that the submodule (not the
parent project) has new untracked files and modified files, respectively.
The user can use "git add" and "git commit" from within the submodule to
add them.
Changes to the submodule's HEAD commit can be recorded in the index with
a plain "git add -u" and are shown with " M", like today.
To avoid excessive clutter, show at most one of " ?", " m", and " M" for
the submodule. They represent increasing levels of change --- the last
one that applies is shown (e.g., " m" if there are both modified files
and untracked files in the submodule, or " M" if the submodule's HEAD
has been modified and it has untracked files).
While making these changes, we need to make sure to not break porcelain
level 1, which shares code with "status --short". We only change
"git status --short".
Non-short "git status" and "git status --porcelain=2" already handle
these cases by showing more detail:
$ git -C gerrit status --porcelain=2
1 .M S.MU 160000 160000 160000 305c864db28eb0c77c8499bc04c87de3f849cf3c 305c864db28eb0c77c8499bc04c87de3f849cf3c plugins/replication
$ git -C gerrit status
[...]
modified: plugins/replication (modified content, untracked content)
Scripts caring about these distinctions should use --porcelain=2.

Change the revision parsing logic to match @{upstream}, @{u} & @{push}
case-insensitively.
Before this change supplying anything except the lower-case forms
emits an "unknown revision or path not in the working tree"
error. This change makes upper-case & mixed-case versions equivalent
to the lower-case versions.
The use-case for this is being able to hold the shift key down while
typing @{u} on certain keyboard layouts, which makes the sequence
easier to type, and reduces cases where git throws an error at the
user where it could do what he means instead.
These suffixes now join various other suffixes & special syntax
documented in gitrevisions(7) that matches case-insensitively. A table
showing the status of the various forms documented there before &
after this patch is shown below. The key for the table is:
- CI = Case Insensitive
- CIP = Case Insensitive Possible (without ambiguities)
- AG = Accepts Garbage (.e.g. @{./.4.minutes./.})
Before this change:
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| What? | CI? | CIP? | AG? |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| @{<date>} | Y | Y | Y |
| @{upstream} | N | Y | N |
| @{push} | N | Y | N |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
After it:
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| What? | CI? | CIP? | AG? |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
| @{<date>} | Y | Y | Y |
| @{upstream} | Y | Y | N |
| @{push} | Y | Y | N |
|----------------+-----+------+-----|
The ^{<type>} suffix is not made case-insensitive, because other
places that take <type> like "cat-file -t <type>" do want them case
sensitively (after all we never declared that type names are case
insensitive). Allowing case-insensitive typename only with this syntax
will make the resulting Git as a whole inconsistent.
This change was independently authored to scratch a longtime itch, but
when I was about to submit it I discovered that a similar patch had
been submitted unsuccessfully before by Conrad Irwin in August 2011 as
"rev-parse: Allow @{U} as a synonym for
@{u}" (<1313287071-7851-1-git-send-email-conrad.irwin@gmail.com>).
The tests for this patch are more exhaustive than in the 2011
submission. The starting point for them was to first change the code
to only support upper-case versions of the existing words, seeing what
broke, and amending the breaking tests to check upper case & mixed
case as appropriate, and where not redundant to other similar
tests. The implementation itself is equivalent.

Change the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands to have a --no-contains
option in addition to their longstanding --contains options.
This allows for finding the last-good rollout tag given a known-bad
<commit>. Given a hypothetically bad commit cf5c7253e0, the git
version to revert to can be found with this hacky two-liner:
(git tag -l 'v[0-9]*'; git tag -l --contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*') |
sort | uniq -c | grep -E '^ *1 ' | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 10
With this new --no-contains option the same can be achieved with:
git tag -l --no-contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*' | sort | tail -n 10
As the filtering machinery is shared between the tag, branch &
for-each-ref commands, implement this for those commands too. A
practical use for this with "branch" is e.g. finding branches which
were branched off between v2.8.0 and v2.10.0:
git branch --contains v2.8.0 --no-contains v2.10.0
The "describe" command also has a --contains option, but its semantics
are unrelated to what tag/branch/for-each-ref use --contains for. A
--no-contains option for "describe" wouldn't make any sense, other
than being exactly equivalent to not supplying --contains at all,
which would be confusing at best.
Add a --without option to "tag" as an alias for --no-contains, for
consistency with --with and --contains. The --with option is
undocumented, and possibly the only user of it is
Junio (<xmqqefy71iej.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>). But it's
trivial to support, so let's do that.
The additions to the the test suite are inverse copies of the
corresponding --contains tests. With this change --no-contains for
tag, branch & for-each-ref is just as well tested as the existing
--contains option.
In addition to those tests, add a test for "tag" which asserts that
--no-contains won't find tree/blob tags, which is slightly
unintuitive, but consistent with how --contains works & is documented.

Change the "tag" command to implicitly turn on its --list mode when
provided with a list-like option such as --contains, --points-at etc.
This is for consistency with how "branch" works. When "branch" is
given a list-like option, such as --contains, it implicitly provides
--list. Before this change "tag" would error out on those sorts of
invocations. I.e. while both of these worked for "branch":
git branch --contains v2.8.0 <pattern>
git branch --list --contains v2.8.0 <pattern>
Only the latter form worked for "tag":
git tag --contains v2.8.0 '*rc*'
git tag --list --contains v2.8.0 '*rc*'
Now "tag", like "branch", will implicitly supply --list when a
list-like option is provided, and no other conflicting non-list
options (such as -d) are present on the command-line.
Spelunking through the history via:
git log --reverse -p -G'only allowed with' -- '*builtin*tag*c'
Reveals that there was no good reason for not allowing this in the
first place. The --contains option added in 32c35cfb1e ("git-tag: Add
--contains option", 2009-01-26) made this an error. All the other
subsequent list-like options that were added copied its pattern of
making this usage an error.
The only tests that break as a result of this change are tests that
were explicitly checking that this "branch-like" usage wasn't
permitted. Change those failing tests to check that this invocation
mode is permitted, add extra tests for the list-like options we
weren't testing, and tests to ensure that e.g. we don't toggle the
list mode in the presence of other conflicting non-list options.
With this change errors messages such as "--contains option is only
allowed with -l" don't make sense anymore, since options like
--contain turn on -l. Instead we error out when list-like options such
as --contain are used in conjunction with conflicting options such as
-d or -v.

Change the documentation for --list so that it's described as a
toggle, not as an option that takes a <pattern> as an argument.
Junio initially documented this in b867c7c23a ("git-tag: -l to list
tags (usability).", 2006-02-17), but later Jeff King changed "tag" to
accept multiple patterns in 588d0e834b ("tag: accept multiple patterns
for --list", 2011-06-20).
However, documenting this as "-l <pattern>" was never correct, as
these both worked before Jeff's change:
git tag -l 'v*'
git tag 'v*' -l
One would expect an option that was documented like that to only
accept:
git tag --list
git tag --list 'v*rc*'
And after Jeff's change, one that took multiple patterns:
git tag --list 'v*rc*' --list '*2.8*'
But since it's actually a toggle all of these work as well, and
produce identical output to the last example above:
git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*'
git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list --list --list
git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list -l --list -l --list
Now the documentation is more in tune with how the "branch" command
describes its --list option since commit cddd127b9a ("branch:
introduce --list option", 2011-08-28).
Change the test suite to assert that these invocations work for the
cases that weren't already being tested for.

To keep this property of only erroring out, when not in a repository,
severe (submodule) errors must be downgraded to reporting them gently
instead of having git-describe error out completely.

Teach clone --recurse-submodules to optionally take a pathspec argument
which describes which submodules should be recursively initialized and
cloned. If no pathspec is provided, --recurse-submodules will
recursively initialize and clone all submodules by using a default
pathspec of ".". In order to construct more complex pathspecs,
--recurse-submodules can be given multiple times.
This also configures the 'submodule.active' configuration option to be
the given pathspec, such that any future invocation of `git submodule
update` will keep up with the pathspec.
Additionally the switch '--recurse' is removed from the Documentation as
well as marked hidden in the options array, to streamline the options
for submodules. A simple '--recurse' doesn't convey what is being
recursed, e.g. it could mean directories or trees (c.f. ls-tree) In a
lot of other commands we already have '--recurse-submodules' to mean
recursing into submodules, so advertise this spelling here as the

Currently the submodule.<name>.url config option is used to determine if
a given submodule is of interest to the user. This ends up being
cumbersome in a world where we want to have different submodules checked
out in different worktrees or a more generalized mechanism to select
which submodules are of interest.
In a future with worktree support for submodules, there will be multiple
working trees, each of which may only need a subset of the submodules
checked out. The URL (which is where the submodule repository can be
obtained) should not differ between different working trees.
It may also be convenient for users to more easily specify groups of
submodules they are interested in as opposed to running "git submodule
init <path>" on each submodule they want checked out in their working
tree.
To this end two config options are introduced, submodule.active and
submodule.<name>.active. The submodule.active config holds a pathspec
that specifies which submodules should exist in the working tree. The
submodule.<name>.active config is a boolean flag used to indicate if
that particular submodule should exist in the working tree.
Its important to note that submodule.active functions differently than
the other configuration options since it takes a pathspec. This allows
users to adopt at least two new workflows:
1. Submodules can be grouped with a leading directory, such that a
pathspec e.g. 'lib/' would cover all library-ish modules to allow
those who are interested in library-ish modules to set
"submodule.active = lib/" just once to say any and all modules in
'lib/' are interesting.
2. Once the pathspec-attribute feature is invented, users can label
submodules with attributes to group them, so that a broad pathspec
with attribute requirements, e.g. ':(attr:lib)', can be used to say
any and all modules with the 'lib' attribute are interesting.
Since the .gitattributes file, just like the .gitmodules file, is
tracked by the superproject, when a submodule moves in the
superproject tree, the project can adjust which path gets the
attribute in .gitattributes, just like it can adjust which path has
the submodule in .gitmodules.
Neither of these two additional configuration options solve the problem
of wanting different submodules checked out in different worktrees
because multiple worktrees share .git/config. Only once per-worktree
configurations become a reality can this be solved, but this is a
necessary preparatory step for that future.
Given these multiple ways to check if a submodule is of interest, the
more fine-grained submodule.<name>.active option has the highest order
of precedence followed by the pathspec check against submodule.active.
To ensure backwards compatibility, if neither of these options are set,
git falls back to checking the submodule.<name>.url option to determine
if a submodule is interesting.

Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings
among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories.
A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple
repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another
for the other.
Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to
update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning
often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in
~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would
not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more
problems than it solves.
Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include
another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some
conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A
only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on.
In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in
absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or
something like that to take advantage of it.
We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes
with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is
required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as
include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will
simply ignore them.

Previously, the git_commit_non_empty_tree function would always pass any
commit with no parents to git-commit-tree, regardless of whether the
tree was nonempty. The new commit would then be recorded in the
filter-branch revision map, and subsequent commits which leave the tree
untouched would be correctly filtered.
With this change, parentless commits with an empty tree are correctly
pruned, and an empty file is recorded in the revision map, signifying
that it was rewritten to "no commits." This works naturally with the
parent mapping for subsequent commits.

When a submodule is initialized, the config variable 'submodule.<name>.url'
is set depending on the value of the same variable in the .gitmodules
file. When the URL indicates to be relative, then the url is computed
relative to its default remote. The default remote cannot be determined
accurately in all cases, such that it falls back to 'origin'.
The 'origin' remote may not exist, though. In that case we give up looking
for a suitable remote and we'll just assume it to be a local relative path.
This can be confusing to users as there is a lot of guessing involved,
which is not obvious to the user.
So in the corner case of assuming a local autoritative truth, warn the
user to lessen the confusion.
This behavior was introduced in 4d6893200 (submodule add: allow relative
repository path even when no url is set, 2011-06-06), which shared the
code with submodule-init and then ported to C in 3604242f08 (submodule:
port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15).
In case of submodule-add, this behavior makes sense in some use cases[1],
however for submodule-init there does not seem to be an immediate obvious
use case to fall back to a local submodule. However there might be, so
warn instead of die here.
While adding the warning, also clarify the behavior of relative URLs in
the documentation.

The gitdiffcore documentation quotes the term "Complete Rewrites" in
headers for no real gain. This would make sense if the term could be
easily confused if not properly grouped together. But actually, the term
is quite obvious and thus does not really need any quoting, especially
regarding that it is not used anywhere else.
But more importanly, this brings up a bug when rendering man pages: when
trying to render quotes inside of a section header, we end up with
quotes which have been misaligned to the end of line. E.g.
diffcore-break: For Splitting Up Complete Rewrites
--------------------------------------------------
renders as
DIFFCORE-BREAK: FOR SPLITTING UP COMPLETE REWRITES""
, which is obviously wrong. While this is fixable for the man pages by
using double-quotes (e.g. ""COMPLETE REWRITES""), this again breaks it
for our generated HTML pages.
So fix the issue by simply dropping quotes inside of section headers,
which is currently only done for the term "Complete Rewrites".

A server can end up in a state where there are lots of unreferenced
loose objects (say, because many users are doing a bunch of rebasing
and pushing their rebased branches). Running "git gc --auto" in
this state would cause a gc.log file to be created, preventing
future auto gcs, causing pack files to pile up. Since many git
operations are O(n) in the number of pack files, this would lead to
poor performance.
Git should never get itself into a state where it refuses to do any
maintenance, just because at some point some piece of the maintenance
didn't make progress.
Teach Git to ignore gc.log files which are older than (by default)
one day old, which can be tweaked via the gc.logExpiry configuration
variable. That way, these pack files will get cleaned up, if
necessary, at least once per day. And operators who find a need for
more-frequent gcs can adjust gc.logExpiry to meet their needs.
There is also some cleanup: a successful manual gc, or a
warning-free auto gc with an old log file, will remove any old
gc.log files.
It might still happen that manual intervention is required
(e.g. because the repo is corrupt), but at the very least it won't
be because Git is too dumb to try again.

The documentation gives an example of the submodule foreach
command that uses both backticks and single-quotes. We stick
the whole thing inside "+" markers to make it monospace, but
the inside punctuation still needs escaping. We handle the
backticks with "{backtick}", and use backslash-escaping for
the single-quotes.
But we missed the escaping on the second quote. Fortunately,
asciidoc renders this unbalanced quote as we want (showing
the quote), but asciidoctor does not. We could fix it by
adding the missing backslash.
However, let's take a step back. Even when rendered
correctly, it's hard to read a long command stuck into the
middle of a paragraph, and the important punctuation is hard
to notice. Let's instead bump it into its own single-line
code block. That makes both the source and the rendered
result more readable, and as a bonus we don't have to worry
about quoting at all.

Once we fix (2), the http transport helper can make use of push options
as well, but that happens as a follow up. (1) is a bug fix, whereas (2)
is a feature, which is why we only do (1) here.

This is the document patch for f0298cf1c6 (revision walker: include a
detached HEAD in --all - 2009-01-16).
Even though that commit is about detached HEAD, as Jeff pointed out,
always adding HEAD in that case may have subtle differences with
--source or --exclude. So the document mentions nothing about the
detached-ness.

We forgot that "strip" was introduced at 0571979bd6 ("tag: do not
show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"", 2016-01-25) as part of Git
2.8 (and 2.7.1) when we started calling this "lstrip" to make it
easier to explain the new "rstrip" operation.
We shouldn't have renamed the existing one; "lstrip" should have
been a new synonym that means the same thing as "strip". Scripts
in the wild are surely using the original form already.

It is often useful to break a commit into multiple parts that are more
logical separations. This can be tricky to learn how to do without the
brute-force method if re-writing code or commit messages from scratch.
Add a section to the git-reset documentation which shows an example
process for how to use git add -p and git commit -c HEAD@{1} to
interactively break a commit apart and re-use the original commit
message as a starting point when making the new commit message.

The output of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' can be either a relative or an
absolute path, depending on whether the current working directory is
at the top of the worktree or the .git directory or not, or how the
path to the repository is specified via the '--git-dir=<path>' option
or the $GIT_DIR environment variable. And if that output is a
relative path, then it is relative to the directory where any 'git
-C <path>' options might have led us.
This doesn't matter at all for regular scripts, because the git
wrapper automatically takes care of changing directories according to
the '-C <path>' options, and the scripts can then simply follow any
path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', even if it's a relative
path.
Our Bash completion script, however, is unique in that it must run
directly in the user's interactive shell environment. This means that
it's not executed through the git wrapper and would have to take care
of any '-C <path> options on its own, and it can't just change
directories as it pleases. Consequently, adding support for taking
any '-C <path>' options on the command line into account during
completion turned out to be considerably more difficult, error prone
and required more subshells and git processes when it had to cope with
a relative path to the .git directory.
Help this rather special use case and teach 'git rev-parse' a new
'--absolute-git-dir' option which always outputs a canonicalized
absolute path to the .git directory, regardless of whether the path is
discovered automatically or is specified via $GIT_DIR or 'git
--git-dir=<path>'.

The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been
enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs
other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches,
remote-tracking branches and notes).
* cw/log-updates-for-all-refs-really:
doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog'
update-ref: add test cases for bare repository
refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
config: add markup to core.logAllRefUpdates doc
