d8b6a1a10b cvsserver: Don't lie about binary mode in asciidoc documentation
The git-cvsserver documentation claims that the server will set
-k modes if appropriate which is not really the case. On the other
hand the available gitcvs.allbinary variable is not documented at
all. Fix both these issues by rewording the related paragraph.

c2c6d9302a Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt: fix example in SPECIFYING RANGES.
Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795:

 In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice.
 The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to
 A.

 However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the
 manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C!  I.e.,
 he inverts the tree.

 And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is
 not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).

18bdec1118 Limit the size of the new delta_base_cache
The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas.  This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.

We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal.  Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.

On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.

We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache.  These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

81b6c950de user-manual: introduce "branch" and "branch head" differently
I was using "branch" to mean "head", but that's perhaps a little
sloppy; so instead start by using the terms "branch head" and "head",
while still quickly falling back on "branch", since that's what
people actually say more frequently.

Also include glossary references on the first uses of "head" and "tag".

f562e6f316 glossary: stop generating automatically
The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates,
and automatically adds cross-references.

But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic
cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last
time and check in its output.

Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted
the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel
free to object and I can find a different solution.

0a3985dcfb user-manual: run xsltproc without --nonet option
The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find
anything.  But it always tries to find them locally first, so for a
user with the necessary docbook stylesheets installed the build will
work just fine without xsltproc attempting to use the network; all
--nonet does is make it fail rather than falling back on that.  That
doesn't seem particularly helpful.

9debc3241b git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like

        [remote "local"]
                url = .
                fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names.  The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.

To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'.  In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations.  In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.

The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created.  Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

f43cd49fb8 Change {pre,post}-receive hooks to use stdin
Sergey Vlasov, Andy Parkins and Alex Riesen all pointed out that it
is possible for a single invocation of receive-pack to be given more
refs than the OS might allow us to pass as command line parameters
to a single hook invocation.

We don't want to break these up into multiple invocations (like
xargs might do) as that makes it impossible for the pre-receive
hook to verify multiple related ref updates occur at the same time,
and it makes it harder for post-receive to send out a single batch
notification.

Instead we pass the reference data on a pipe connected to the
hook's stdin, supplying one ref per line to the hook.  This way a
single hook invocation can obtain an infinite amount of ref data,
without bumping into any operating system limits.

0746d19a82 git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch tracking
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:

  git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
  git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
  git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic

This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.

This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.

If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

1dc71a9155 user-manual: fix rendering of history diagrams
Asciidoc appears to interpret a backslash at the end of a line as
escaping the end-of-line character, which screws up the display of
history diagrams like

 o--o--o
	\
	 o--...

The obvious fix (replacing "\" by "\\") doesn't work.  The only
workaround I've found is to include all such diagrams in a LiteralBlock.
Asciidoc claims that should be equivalent to a literal paragraph, so I
don't understand why the difference--perhaps it's an asciidoc bug.

c816eb1784 glossary: fix overoptimistic automatic linking of defined terms
The script sort_glossary.pl turns each use of "term" into a link to the
definition of "term".  To avoid mangling links like

	gitlink:git-term[1]

it doesn't replace any occurence of "term" preceded by "link:git-".
This fails for gitlink:git-symbolic-ref[1] when substituting for "ref".

So instead just refuse to replace anything preceded by a "-".
That could result in missing some opportunities, but that's a less
annoying error.

Actually I find the automatic substitution a little distracting; some
day maybe we should just run it once and commit the result, so it can
be hand-tuned.

05ef58ec1f Teach receive-pack to run pre-receive/post-receive hooks
Bill Lear pointed out that it is easy to send out notifications of
changes with the update hook, but successful execution of the update
hook does not necessarily mean that the ref was actually updated.
Lock contention on the ref or being unable to append to the reflog
may prevent the ref from being changed.  Sending out notifications
prior to the ref actually changing is very misleading.

To help this situation I am introducing two new hooks to the
receive-pack flow: pre-receive and post-receive.  These new hooks
are invoked only once per receive-pack execution and are passed
three arguments per ref (refname, old-sha1, new-sha1).

The new post-receive hook is ideal for sending out notifications,
as it has the complete list of all refnames that were successfully
updated as well as the old and new SHA-1 values.  This allows more
interesting notifications to be sent.  Multiple ref updates could
be easily summarized into one email, for example.

The new pre-receive hook is ideal for logging update attempts, as it
is run only once for the entire receive-pack operation.  It can also
be used to verify multiple updates happen at once, e.g. an update
to the `maint` head must also be accompained by a new annotated tag.

Lots of documentation improvements for receive-pack are included
in this change, as we want to make sure the new hooks are clearly
explained.

d9cb5399ee git-archimport: allow remapping branch names
This patch adds support to archimport for remapping the branch
names to match those used in git more closely.  This is useful
for projects that migrate to git (as opposed to users that want
to use git on Arch-based projects).  For example, one can choose
an Arch branch name and call it "master".

The new command-line syntax works even if there is a colon in
a branch name, since only the part after the last colon is taken
to be the git name (git does not allow colons in branch names).

The new feature is implemented so that archives rotated every
year can also be remapped into a single git archive.

78a8d641c1 Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.

This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system.  A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).

Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

28a4d94044 object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notation
To name a commit, you can now say

	$ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"'

and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose
commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix.

For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated
specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with
a '!', just repeat the exclamation mark. So, to match a commit
which starts with '!Hello World', use

	$ git show ':/!!Hello World'

b0e908977e Fixup no-progress for fetch & clone
The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when
not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when
output was not redirected (such as in a cron job).

However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that
the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But
this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on
seeing the option "--no-progress".

This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until
your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the
server has this patch, it will be quiet.

A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not
heed no_progress.

0dfaf0a4e1 git-svn: allow metadata options to be specified with 'init' and 'clone'
Since the options that affect the way metadata is handled in
git-svn, should be consistently set/unset throughout history
imported by git-svn; it makes sense to allow the user to set
certain options from the command-line that will write to the
config file when initially creating the repository.

Also, fix some formatting issues while we're updating

.rev_db information to disk if we use these options because
we really don't want to lose this information.

Also, disallow --use-svm-props and --no-metadata from the

only used occasionally.  If a user wants to use these options,
they must be set in the config so they're always on.

2e0afafebd Add git-bundle: move objects and references by archive
Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.

git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.

The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.

It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

d516c2d119 Teach git-diff-files the new option --no-index
With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff
lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.).  This flag
is also available in git-diff.  It also works outside of a git repository.

In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage
parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked,
the default is --no-index.

So, you can now say

	git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab

and it actually works!

This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files()
and builtin_diff_files().

1918278ea1 Allow git-remote to update named groups of remotes
In response to a feature request from Shawn Pearce, this patch allows
a user to update a named group of remotes by using "git remote update
<group>", where the group is defined in the config file by
remotes.<group>.  The default if the named group is not specified is
now fetched group remotes.default, instead of remote.fetch, which is
what had been previously used.

In addition, if remotes.default is not defined, all remotes defined in
the config file will be used, as before, but there is now also
possible to request that a particular repository to be skipped by
default by using the boolean configuration parameter
remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate.
