b798671fa9 merge-recursive: do not rudely die on binary merge
When you try to merge a path that involves binary file-level
merge, merge-recursive died rudely without cleaning up its own
mess.  A files added by the merge were left in the working tree,
but the index was not written out (because it just punted and
died), so it was cumbersome for the user to retry it by first
running "git reset --hard".

This changes merge-recursive to still warn but do the "binary"
merge for such a path; leave the "our" version in the working
tree, but still keep the path unmerged so that the user can sort
it out.

fb13227e08 git-diff: squelch "empty" diffs
After starting to edit a working tree file but later when your edit ends
up identical to the original (this can also happen when you ran a
wholesale regexp replace with something like "perl -i" that does not
actually modify many of the paths), "git diff" between the index and the
working tree outputs many "empty" diffs that show "diff --git" headers
and nothing else, because these paths are stat-dirty.  While it was a
way to warn the user that the earlier action of the user made the index
ineffective as an optimization mechanism, it was felt too loud for the
purpose of warning even to experienced users, and also resulted in
confusing people new to git.

This replaces the "empty" diffs with a single warning message at the
end.  Having many such paths hurts performance, and you can run
"git-update-index --refresh" to update the lstat(2) information recorded
in the index in such a case.  "git-status" does so as a side effect, and
that is more familiar to the end-user, so we recommend it to them.

The change affects only "git diff" that outputs patch text, because that
is where the annoyance of too many "empty" diff is most strongly felt,
and because the warning message can be safely ignored by downstream
tools without getting mistaken as part of the patch.  For the low-level
"git diff-files" and "git diff-index", the traditional behaviour is
retained.

Some try their hands (with different likelihood of success) in making

Some repositories started with the trunk in "/" and then moved it to the

On these repositories, the correct thing would be to call git-svnimport -T "",

When performing a git-p4 clone operation on a Perforce repository,
where the changelists change in order of magnitude (e.g. 100 to 1000),
the set of changes to import from is not sorted properly. This is
because the data in the list is strings not integers. The other place
where this is done already converts the value to an integer, so it is

89d07f750a diff: don't run pager if user asked for a diff style exit code
As Wincent Colaiuta found out, it's a bit unexpected for git diff to
start a pager even when the --quiet option is specified.  The problem
is that the pager hides the return code -- which is the only output

Push pager setup down into builtin-diff.c and don't start the pager
if --exit-code or --quiet (which implies --exit-code) was specified.

7b459a1c1c gitk: Fix bug introduced in commit 67a4f1a7
In fixing the "can't unset idinlist" error, I moved the setting of
idinlist into the loop that splits the parents into "new" parents
(i.e. those of which this is the first child) and "old" parents.
Unfortunately this is incorrect in the case where we hit the break
statement a few lines further down, since when we come back in,
we'll see idinlist($p) set for some parents that aren't in the list.

This fixes it by moving the loop that sets up newolds and oldolds
further down.

314c30936f [PATCH] gitk: Handle MouseWheel events on Windows
Windows, unlike X-Windows, sends mousewheel events by default to the
window that has keyboard focus and uses the MouseWheel event to do so.
The window to be scrolled must be able to take focus, but gitk's panels
are disabled so cannot take focus.  For all these reasons, a different
design is needed to use the mousewheel on Windows.  The approach here is
to bind the mousewheel events to the top level window and redirect them
based upon the current mouse position.

4739809cd0 Add support for an info version of the user manual
These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the
git user manual.  No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are
touched, so you need to explicitly say

make info
sudo make install-info

to get git.info created and installed.  If the info target directory
does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created.
This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations.  The same could be
achieved with

sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info

explicitly.

perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in
the Texinfo file.  It would be cleaner to place the respective info
straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I
find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

As mentioned, the three-way case *should* be as trivial as the
following. It passes all the tests, and I verified that a conflicting
merge in the 100,000 file horror-case merged correctly (with the conflict

somebody else should double-check it [jc: followed all three-way merge
codepaths and verified it removes when it should].

Without this patch, the merge took 8.355 seconds, so this patch
really does make a huge difference for merge performance with lots and
lots of files, and we're not talking percentages, we're talking
orders-of-magnitude differences!

Now "unpack_trees()" is just fast enough that we don't need to avoid it

the traverse_trees() infrastructure some day - just to avoid having
extraneous tree traversal functions).

Actually, there is another bug nearby.

If you do:

	git bundle create v2.6-20-v2.6.22.bndl v2.6.20..v2.6.22

the bundle records that it requires v2.6.20^0 commit (correct)
and gives you tag v2.6.22 (incorrect); the bug is that the
object it lists in fact is the commit v2.6.22^0, not the tag.

This is because the revision range operation .. is always about
set of commits, but the code near where my patch touches does
not validate that the sha1 value obtained from dwim_ref()
against the commit object name e->item->sha1 before placing the
head information in the commit.

The attached patch attempts to fix this problem.

d699676dda Optimize the two-way merge of git-read-tree too
This trivially optimizes the two-way merge case of git-read-tree too,
which affects switching branches.

When you have tons and tons of files in your repository, but there are
only small differences in the branches (maybe just a couple of files
changed), the biggest cost of the branch switching was actually just the
index calculations.

This fixes it (timings for switching between the "testing" and "master"
branches in the 100,000 file testing-repo-from-hell, where the branches
only differ in one small file).

Before:
	[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout master
	real    0m9.919s
	user    0m8.461s
	sys     0m0.264s

After:
	[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout testing
	real    0m0.576s
	user    0m0.348s
	sys     0m0.228s

so it's easily an order of magnitude different.

This concludes the series. I think we could/should do the three-way merge
too (to speed up merges), but I'm lazy. Somebody else can do it.

The rule is very simple: you need to remove the old entry if:
 - you want to remove the file entirely
 - you replace it with a "merge conflict" entry (ie a non-stage-0 entry)

and you can avoid removing it if you either

 - keep the old one
 - or resolve it to a new one.

and these rules should all be valid for the three-way case too.

288f072ec0 Optimize the common cases of git-read-tree
This optimizes bind_merge() and oneway_merge() to not unnecessarily

This makes these operations much faster for large trees (where "large"

entries around in the index array all the time.

b48d5a050a Move old index entry removal from "unpack_trees()" into the individual functions
This makes no changes to current code, but it allows the individual merge
functions to decide what to do about the old entry.  They might decide to
update it in place, rather than force them to always delete and re-add it.

22631473e0 Fix "git commit directory/" performance anomaly
This trivial patch avoids re-hashing files that are already clean in the
index. This mirrors what commit 0781b8a9b2
did for "git add .", only for "git commit ." instead.

This improves the cold-cache case immensely, since we don't need to bring
in all the file contents, just the index and any files dirty in the index.

Before:

	[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit .
	real    1m49.537s
	user    0m3.892s
	sys     0m2.432s

After:

	[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit .
	real    0m14.273s
	user    0m1.312s
	sys     0m0.516s

(both after doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to get cold-cache
behaviour - even with the index optimization git still has to "lstat()"
all the files, so with a truly cold cache, bringing all the inodes in
will take some time).

[jc: trivial "return 0;" fixed]

af3785dc5a Optimize "diff --cached" performance.
The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to
run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by
git-runstatus to run_diff_index()).  The function vacates stage
without any funky "merge" magic.  The caller then goes and
compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries
from the original index.

When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general
purpose add_cache_entry().  This function looks for an existing
entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the
new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things.

For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of
that processing is needed.  We can instead append everything and
then sort the result at the end.

This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is
no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the
case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag
(new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort().

This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks
such as "Does this path already exist?  Does adding this path
remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a
file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the
end of the active cache.  The caller of course is expected to
sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result.

933bf40a5c Start moving unpack-trees to "struct tree_desc"
This doesn't actually change any real code, but it changes the interface
to unpack_trees() to take an array of "struct tree_desc" entries, the same
way the tree-walk.c functions do.

The reason for this is that we would be much better off if we can do the
tree-unpacking using the generic "traverse_trees()" functionality instead
of having to the special "unpack" infrastructure.

This really is a pretty minimal diff, just to change the calling
convention. It passes all the tests, and looks sane. There were only two
users of "unpack_trees()": builtin-read-tree and merge-recursive, and I
tried to keep the changes minimal.

7efeb8f098 Reinstate the old behaviour when GIT_DIR is set and GIT_WORK_TREE is unset
The old behaviour was to unilaterally default to the cwd is the work tree
when GIT_DIR was set, but GIT_WORK_TREE wasn't, no matter if we are inside
the GIT_DIR, or if GIT_DIR is actually something like ../../../.git.
