The fsck-objects command (back then it was called fsck-cache)
used to complain if objects referred to by files in .git/refs/
or objects stored in files under .git/objects/??/ were not found
as stand-alone SHA1 files (i.e. found in alternate object pools
or packed archives stored under .git/objects/pack). Back then,
packs and alternates were new curiosity and having everything as
loose objects were the norm.
When we adjusted the behaviour of fsck-cache to consider objects
found in packs are OK, we introduced the --standalone flag as a
backward compatibility measure.
It still correctly checks if your repository is complete and
consists only of loose objects, so in that sense it is doing the
"right" thing, but checking that is pointless these days. This
commit removes --standalone flag.

docbook-xsl v1.68 incorrectly converts "<screen>" from docbook to
manpage by not rendering it verbatim. v1.69 handles it correctly, but
not many current popular distributions ship with it.
asciidoc by default converts "listingblock" to "<screen>". This change
causes asciidoc in git to convert "listingblock" to "<literallayout>", which
both old and new docbook-xsl handle correctly.

Since git-checkout-index is often used from scripts which
may have a stream of filenames they wish to checkout it is
more convenient to use --stdin than xargs. On platforms
where fork performance is currently sub-optimal and
the length of a command line is limited (*cough* Cygwin
*cough*) running a single git-checkout-index process for
a large number of files beats spawning it multiple times
from xargs.
File names are still accepted on the command line if
--stdin is not supplied. Nothing is performed if no files
are supplied on the command line or by stdin.

This adds a git-rm command which provides convenience similar to
git-add, (and a bit more since it takes care of the rm as well if
given -f).
Like git-add, git-rm expands the given path names through
git-ls-files. This means it only acts on files listed in the
index. And it does act recursively on directories by default, (no -r
needed as in the case of rm itself). When it recurses, it does not
remove empty directories that are left behind.

git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.
Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.
Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.
In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.
This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.

It turns out that the git-push documentation didn't describe what it
would do when not given a refspec, (not on the command line, nor in a
remotes file). This is fairly important for the user who is trying to
understand operations such as:
git clone git://something/some/where

This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.

Currently, git-repo-config will just return the raw value of option
as specified in the config file; this makes things difficult for scripts
calling it, especially if the value is supposed to be boolean.
This patch makes it possible to ask git-repo-config to check if the option
is of the given type (int or bool) and write out the value in its
canonical form. If you do not pass --int or --bool, the behaviour stays
unchanged and the raw value is emitted.
This also incidentally fixes the segfault when option with no value is
encountered.

- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
behaviour. It commits the current index.
We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
subdirectory.
- "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
is equivalent to:
git update-index --remove paths...
git commit
- "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an
incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
have complained that it is confusing to them. It
1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
-i flag.
2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.
4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
temporary index.
5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
tree to the real index.
6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
new commit.
- "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
commit.
- In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following
sequence:
$ git diff
$ git commit -a
$ git diff
would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
making the commit log message empty.

In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches,

This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this
process by recording the conflicted automerge results and

of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each

If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the
