Even if you use imap-send to throw your drafts in the outbox, using their
web interface will mangle your patches. Clarify that the imap-send is
meant to be used together with a real MUA that can use IMAP drafts, and
remove instructions related to the web interface, which is irrelevant.

Change git-commit(1) to accept the --allow-empty-message option
to allow a commit with an empty message. This is analogous to the
existing --allow-empty option which allows a commit that records
no changes. As these are mainly for interoperating with foreign SCM
systems, and are not meant for normal use, ensure that "git commit -h"
does not talk about them.

The option tells the command to expire older reflog entries that refer to
commits that are no longer reachable from the tip of the ref the reflog is
associated with. To avoid repeated merge_base() invocations, we used to
mark commits that are known to be reachable by walking the history from
the tip until we hit commits that are older than expire-total (which is
the timestamp before which all the reflog entries are expired).
However, it is a different matter if a commit is _not_ known to be
reachable and the commit is known to be unreachable. Because you can
rewind a ref to an ancient commit and then reset it back to the original
tip, a recent reflog entry can point at a commit that older than the
expire-total timestamp and we shouldn't expire it. For that reason, we
had to run merge-base computation when a commit is _not_ known to be
reachable.
This introduces a lazy/on-demand traversal of the history to mark
reachable commits in steps. As before, we mark commits that are newer
than expire-total to optimize the normal case before walking reflog, but
we dig deeper from the commits the initial step left off when we encounter
a commit that is not known to be reachable.

In many places in test suite we have "sleep"s that do not have to be
there.
- I do not simply see the point of the one in t3500. It may be making
sure that the timestamp order of commits generated during the test is
stable, in which case test_tick is the right ingredient to use without
wasting tester's time.
- The one in t4011 is to make sure that the plumbing diff-index notices
the stat-dirtyness of a removed then identically recreated symlink.
Keeping the old symlink around to make sure that a newly created
symlink gets different ino would be sufficient for that purpose.
- The one in t7600 is to make sure that "git merge" does not get confused
by stat-dirty "file" in the working tree. Again, keeping the old file
around and creating an identical copy to ensure a different ino would
be sufficient for that purpose.
The "racy git" tests in t0010 are inherently about mtime between the index
itself and index entries. The "sleep" in that test must stay as they are.

Many scripts, most notably gitk, rely on output from the log family of

especially true when --pretty=raw is given.
Just like we disable notes output unless the command line explicitly
asks for --show-notes, disable the decoration code unless --decorate is
given explicitly from the command line and --pretty or --oneline is
given.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] Link against libiconv on IRIX
Date: Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:45:32 -0500
Message-Id: <1UypQMCHLT57SnjSQIM66RTkLalsvavG8xXoQJv4rEQ@cipher.nrlssc.navy.mil>
This breaks compilation on IRIX 6.5.29m for me since there
is no separate libiconv.so.
What version of IRIX are you using?
On my system, even the iconv utility doesn't link against
a libiconv shared object. It seems the iconv functionality is in libc.
# ldd /usr/bin/iconv
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.1
Could it be that you are using a third party iconv library?
I've experienced this on another system and the problem was related
to curl. In that case, curl was linked against an external iconv and
not the native library, so if I tried to build with curl support, I had
to also build against the external iconv library.
While we wait for an improved solution, revert the regression caused by
2170422790.
If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.
Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:
I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
no?
The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)
This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

This feature is only meant to support old habits. Discourage new use
of the percent-based version by only documenting the 8< symbol so new
users’ perforations can still be recognized by old versions of Git.
