The description for 'git rebase --abort' currently says:
Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation.
The "restore" can be misinterpreted to imply that the original branch
was somehow in a broken state during the rebase operation. It is also
not completely clear what "the original branch" is --- is it the
branch that was checked out before the rebase operation was called or
is the the branch that is being rebased (it is the latter)? Although
both issues are made clear in the DESCRIPTION section, let us also
make the entry in the OPTIONS secion more clear.
Also remove the term "rebasing process" from the usage text, since the
user already knows that the text is about "git rebase".

For histogram diff, we can afford a smaller sample size and thus a
poorer estimate of the number of lines, as the hash table (rhash) won't
be filled up/grown. This is safe as the final count of lines (xdf.nrecs)

xdiff performs "classification" of records (xdl_classify_record()),
replacing hashes (xrecord_t.ha) with a unique identifier of the
record/line and building a hash table (xrecord_t.rhash) of records. This
is then used to "cleanup" records (xdl_cleanup_records()).
We don't need any of that in histogram diff, so we omit calls to these
functions. We also skip allocating memory to the hash table, rhash, as
it is no longer used.
This gives us a small boost in performance.

10c4c88 (Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path,
2008-07-21) introduced get_pwd_cwd() function in order to favor $PWD when
getenv("PWD") and getcwd() refer to the same directory but are different
strings (e.g. the former gives a nicer looking name via a symbolic link to
an uglier looking automounted path). The function tried to determine if
two directories are the same by running stat(2) on both and comparing
ino/dev fields.
Unfortunately, stat() does not fill any ino or dev fields in msysgit. But
there is a telltale: both ino and dev are 0 when they are not filled
correctly, so let's be extra cautious.
This happens to fix a bug in "get-receive-pack working_directory/" when

Change upload-pack and receive-pack to use the namespace-prefixed refs
when working with the repository, and use the unprefixed refs when
talking to the client, maintaining the masquerade. This allows
clone, pull, fetch, and push to work with a suitably configured
GIT_NAMESPACE.
receive-pack advertises refs outside the current namespace as .have refs
(as it currently does for refs in alternates), so that the client can
use them to minimize data transfer but will otherwise ignore them.
With appropriate configuration, this also allows http-backend to expose
namespaces as multiple repositories with different paths. This only
requires setting GIT_NAMESPACE, which http-backend passes through to
upload-pack and receive-pack.

This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

With the current pack heuristics, more than 30% of accesses have to
seek further than 300MB; the updated pack heuristics ensures that less
than 0.1% of accesses have to seek further than 135MB. This is largely
due to the fact that the updated heuristics does not mix blobs and
trees together.

Less than 2MiB seek: 77.09% 99.04%
The long-tail part of the result looks worse with the patch, but
the change helps majority of the access. 99.04% of the accesses
need less than 2MiB of seeking, compared to 77.09% with the current
packing heuristics.

99.9% percentile : 382,919,785 33,155,191
Less than 2MiB seek: 81.73% 96.92%
As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

As resolve_ref() returns a static buffer that is local to the function,
the caller needs to be sure that it will not have any other calls to the
function before it uses the returned value, or store it away with a
strdup(). The code used old.path to record which branch it used to be on,
so that it can say between which branches the switch took place in the

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.
Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.
While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with

Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.
Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.
Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.
Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.
