On one particular system I like to keep a cluster of bare Git
repositories and spawn new-workdirs off of them. Since the bare
repositories don't have working directories associated with them
they don't have a .git/ subdirectory that hosts the repository we
are linking to.
Using a bare repository as the backing repository for a workdir
created by this script does require that the user delete core.bare
from the repository's configuration file, so that Git auto-senses
the bareness of a repository based on pathname information, and
not based on the config file.

Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to
specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in
CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an
environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root.
Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there
might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11
series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note
about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

Git has supported remote branch deletion for quite some time, but
I've just never gotten around to supporting it in git-gui. Some
workflows have users push short-term branches to some remote Git
repository, then delete them a few days/weeks later when that topic
has been fully merged into the main trunk. Typically in that style
of workflow the user will want to remove the branches they created.
We now offer a "Delete..." option in the Push menu, right below the
generic "Push..." option. When the user opens our generic delete
dialog they can select a preconfigured remote, or enter a random
URL. We run `git ls-remote $url` to obtain the list of branches and
tags known there, and offer this list in a listbox for the user to
select one or more from.
Like our local branch delete dialog we offer the user a way to filter
their selected branch list down to only those branches that have been
merged into another branch. This is a very common operation as the
user will likely want to select a range of topic branches, but only
delete them if they have been merged into some sort of common trunk.
Unfortunately our remote merge base detection is not nearly as strict
as the local branch version. We only offer remote heads as the test
commit (not any local ones) and we require that all necessary commits
to successfully run git-merge-base are available locally. If one or
more is missing we suggest that the user run a fetch first.
Since the Git remote protocol doesn't let us specify what the tested
commit was when we evaluated our decision to execute the remote delete
there is a race condition here. The user could do a merge test against
the trunk, determine a topic branch was fully merged, but before they
can start pushing the delete request another user could fast-forward
the remote topic branch to a new commit that is not merged into the
trunk. The delete will arrive after, and remove the topic, even though
it was not fully merged.

Git's native command line interface has had branch renaming
support for quite a while, through the -m/-M options to the
git-branch command line tool. This is an extremely useful
feature as users may decide that the name of their current
branch is not an adequate description, or was just entered
incorrectly when it was created.
Even though most people would consider git-branch to be a
Porcelain tool I'm using it here in git-gui as it is the
only code that implements the rather complex set of logic
needed to successfully rename a branch in Git. Currently
that is along the lines of:
*) Backup the ref
*) Backup the reflog
*) Delete the old ref
*) Create the new ref
*) Move the backed up reflog to the new ref
*) Record the rename event in the reflog
*) If the current branch was renamed, update HEAD
*) If HEAD changed, record the rename event in the HEAD reflog
*) Rename the [branch "$name"] section in the config file
Since that is some rather ugly set of functionality to implement
and get right, and some of it isn't easily accessible through the
raw plumbing layer I'm just cheating by relying on the Porcelain.

When we are using our "non-optimized" tclIndex format (which is

Because we now try to automatically guess the library directory
in certain installations users may wonder where git-gui is getting
its supporting files from. We now display this location in our

Unfortunately users cannot use this 'About git-gui' dialog to
troubleshoot library loading problems; the dialog is defined by

In some workflows it is common for a large number of temporary
branches to be created in a remote repository, get fetched to
clients that typically only use git-gui, and then later have
those branches deleted from the remote repository once they have
been fully merged into all destination branches. Users of git-gui
would obviously like to have their local tracking branches cleaned
up for them, otherwise their local tracking branch namespace would
grow out of control.
The best known way to remove these tracking branches is to run
"git remote prune <remotename>". Even though it is more of a
Porcelain command than plumbing I'm invoking it through the UI,
because frankly I don't see a reason to reimplement its ls-remote
output filtering and config file parsing.
A new configuration option (gui.pruneduringfetch) can be used to
automatically enable running "git remote prune <remotename>" after
the fetch of that remote also completes successfully. This is off
by default as it require an additional network connection and is
not very fast on Cygwin if a large number of tracking branches have
been removed (due to the 2 fork+exec calls per branch).

Johannes Sixt asked me to try to avoid embedding the runtime location
of git-gui's library directory in the executable script. Not embedding
it helps the MinGW to be relocatable to another directory should a user
wish to install the programs in a directory other than the location the
packager wanted them to be installed into.
Most of this is a hack. We try to determine if the path of our master
git-gui script will be able to locate the lib by ../share/git-gui/lib.
This should be true if $(gitexecdir) and $(libdir) have the same prefix.
If they do then we defer the assignment of $(libdir) until runtime, and
we get it from $argv0 rather than embedding it into the script itself.

Martin Koegler noted that create_delta() performs a new hash lookup
after every block copy encoding which are currently limited to 64KB.
In case of larger identical blocks, the next hash lookup would normally
point to the next 64KB block in the reference buffer and multiple block
copy operations will be consecutively encoded.
It is however possible that the reference buffer be sparsely indexed if
hash buckets have been trimmed down in create_delta_index() when hashing
of the reference buffer isn't well balanced. In that case the hash
lookup following a block copy might fail to match anything and the fact
that the reference buffer still matches beyond the previous 64KB block
will be missed.
Let's rework the code so that buffer comparison isn't bounded to 64KB
anymore. The match size should be as large as possible up front and
only then should multiple block copy be encoded to cover it all.
Also, fewer hash lookups will be performed in the end.
According to Martin, this patch should reduce his 92MB pack down to 75MB
with the dataset he has.
Tests performed on the Linux kernel repo show a slightly smaller pack and
a slightly faster repack.

Not every input value passed to get_sha1 is an abbreviated SHA-1.

In some repository configurations the user may have many packfiles,
but all of the recent commits/trees/tags/blobs are likely to
be in the most recent packfile (the one with the newest mtime).
It is therefore common to be able to complete an entire operation
by accessing only one packfile, even if there are 25 packfiles
available to the repository.
Rather than opening and mmaping the corresponding .idx file for
every pack found, we now only open and map the .idx when we suspect
there might be an object of interest in there.
Of course we cannot known in advance which packfile contains an
object, so we still need to scan the entire packed_git list to
locate anything. But odds are users want to access objects in the
most recently created packfiles first, and that may be all they
ever need for the current operation.
Junio observed in b867092f that placing recent packfiles before
older ones can slightly improve access times for recent objects,
without degrading it for historical object access.
This change improves upon Junio's observations by trying even harder
to avoid the .idx files that we won't need.

This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.
Example .gitmodules layout:
[module "git"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".
Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.
Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.

This just basically creates a "pack_refs()" function that could be used by
anybody. You pass it in the flags you want as a bitmask (PACK_REFS_ALL and
PACK_REFS_PRUNE), and it will do all the heavy lifting.
Of course, it's still static, and it's all in the builtin-pack-refs.c
file, so it's not actually visible to the outside, but the next step would
be to just move it all to a library file (probably refs.c) and expose it.
Then we could easily make "git gc" do this too.
While I did it, I also made it check the return value of the fflush and
fsync stage, to make sure that we don't overwrite the old packed-refs file
with something that got truncated due to write errors!

If the repository contained an expanded ident keyword (i.e. $Id:XXXX$),
then the wrong bytes were discarded, and the Id keyword was not
expanded. The fault was in convert.c:ident_to_worktree().
Previously, when a "$Id:" was found in the repository version,
ident_to_worktree() would search for the next "$" after this, and
discarded everything it found until then. That was done with the loop:
do {
ch = *cp++;
if (ch == '$')
break;
rem--;
} while (rem);
The above loop left cp pointing one character _after_ the final "$"
(because of ch = *cp++). This was different from the non-expanded case,
were cp is left pointing at the "$", and was different from the comment
which stated "discard up to but not including the closing $". This
patch fixes that by making the loop:
do {
ch = *cp;
if (ch == '$')
break;
cp++;
rem--;
} while (rem);
That is, cp is tested _then_ incremented.
This loop exits if it finds a "$" or if it runs out of bytes in the
source. After this loop, if there was no closing "$" the expansion is
skipped, and the outer loop is allowed to continue leaving this
non-keyword as it was. However, when the "$" is found, size is
corrected, before running the expansion:
size -= (cp - src);
This is wrong; size is going to be corrected anyway after the expansion,
so there is no need to do it here. This patch removes that redundant
correction.
To help find this bug, I heavily commented the routine; those comments
are included here as a bonus.
