v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".
For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)
Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.
This patch changes that, by allowing
M 040000 <tree id> ""
as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it. For example,
M 040000 4b825dc642 ""
is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of
git read-tree 4b825dc642

In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'),
git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the
zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much
time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if
the user changed the zlib compression level).
However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories,
so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are
going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be
interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this
reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F
option that replaces the current -f.

Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the
"git diff" family of commands. This limits the diff queue to filepairs
whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the
given regexp. Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that
has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as
such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a
patch text.
Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit
that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and
the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be
used as the top-level Porcelain feature.
The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are
running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output
(e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch"). I think we _could_ cache the
result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to
the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair
structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to
the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages
when it is available) and it may not be worth it.

Add support for merging with ignoring line endings (specifically

as a strategy-option, so that you can do:
git merge --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>
and
git rebase --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>
This can be useful for coping with line-ending damage (Xcode 3.1 has a
nasty habit of converting all CRLFs to LFs, and VC6 tends to just use
CRLFs for inserted lines).
The only option I need is ignore-space-at-eol, but while at it,

"XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE") in a git-aware merge.

use this.

Older versions of AsciiDoc used to literally pass double dashes when we
used them in our linkgit macros and manpage titles, but newer ones (the
issue was first reported with AsciiDoc 8.5.2) turn them into em dashes.
Define litdd (literal double-dash) custom attribute in asciidoc.conf to
work this around. While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the
description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among
other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body
text to also use this attribute.

The current output (with Asciidoc 8.5.2) seems a bit broken:
given two directories ‘d` and d2, there is a difference
between using git rm 'd*’ and ‘git rm 'd/\*\’`, as the
former will also remove all of directory d2.
In other words, the markup parses as
given two directories << d` and _d2_, there is a difference
between using _git rm 'd* >>_ and << git rm 'd/\*\ >> `.
I suspect there is an asciidoc bug involved (why is ' a candidate
closing-quote mark when it is preceded by a backslash?) but with
all the meanings of ` and ' involved I do not want to track it
down. Better to use unambiguous {asterisk} and {apostrophe}

When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
(i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),
Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.
As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be

The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.
The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".
This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like
exec >"file name with many spaces"
in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the

When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check
for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time
by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous
(< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk
caches are constantly overloaded.
To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it
is per-submodule.
This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default
(porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the
default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore
setting and by the --ignore-submodules option.
Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic:
multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously
set flags.

The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.
The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.
Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.
This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):
"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.
"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.
"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
as modified.
"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the

So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:
git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch
or
git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch
or
git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize
The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands. And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few
advantages:
- options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while
an option struct passed by pointer cannot;
- callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options,
while an option struct passed by value would not allow that.
The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be
somewhat opaque. Mitigate that with a few macros.

we can tone down the warning against that a bit.
Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people
might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that
it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that
their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet. Or worse, verify that
their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but
then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5
is only in 1.7.0!). So keep the warning.
With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented
example
eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)"
the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary
whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed
into a single space.
This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since
47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval
consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling
arguments containing e.g. newlines.
Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the
example that did not have the quotes.

The behavior of "git ls-files -t" is very misleading (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/126516 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/144394/focus=144397
for examples of mislead users) and badly documented, hence we point the
users to superior alternatives.
The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal"
since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite
already uses it to test the state of the index.

The wording of the Signed-off-by rules could be read as stating that
S-O-B should only be added when the submitter considered the patch
ready for inclusion in git.git.
We also want Signed-off-by to be used for e.g. RFC patches, in case
someone wants to dig an old patch out of the archive and improve
it. Change the wording to recommend a Signed-off-by for all submitted
patches.
The problem with the wording came up in the "[PATCH/RFC] Hacky version
of a glob() driven config include" thread[1]. Bert Wesarg suggested[2]
that it be removed to avoid confusion, which this change implements.

This option adds symmetry with fast-import, enabling it to also work with
complete trees instead of just incremental changes. It works by issuing a
'deleteall' directive with each commit and then listing the full set of
files that make up that commit, rather than just showing the list of files
that have changed since the (first) parent commit. Note that this
functionality is automatically turned on when using --import-marks together
with path limiting in order to avoid dropping important but unchanged
files.
This functionality is desired when using hand-written filters along with
'fast-export | some-filter | fast-import' as it can be easier to write
<some-filter> in terms of complete trees than incremental changes.
We could avoid the need to add this option by simply always turning it on.
While the end result would be identical, it would slow things down slightly
by printing many more filenames per commit which goes somewhat against the
'fast' in 'fast-export'.

* Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add

only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among

* Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options. The

when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful
with many common commit specifications.

replace an arbitrary file in the current revision by an
arbitrary directory from a previous one. Modify the filemodify
command to allow that:

Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git
add --force'.
I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just
"*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree
already. When I do:
git submodule add <url> hlagh
git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository
into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the
new path:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
hlagh
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added
Failed to add submodule 'hlagh'
Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other
than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it.
That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly
saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead
it should just add the path with `git add --force'.
Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to
`git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll
get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it.
So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then
try again with the --force option.
That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think
of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out
`git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The
submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'.
