This one includes the Mozilla SHA1 implementation sent in by Edgar Toernig.
It's dual-licenced under MPL-1.1 or GPL, so in the context of git, we
obviously use the GPL version.
Side note: the Mozilla SHA1 implementation is about twice as fast as the
default openssl one on my G5, but the default openssl one has optimized
x86 assembly language on x86. So choose wisely.
We use that to specify alternative index files, which can be useful
if you want to (for example) generate a temporary index file to do
some specific operation that you don't want to mess with your main
one with.
It defaults to the regular ".git/index" if it hasn't been specified.
This basically makes it trivial to use checkout-cache as a "export as
tree" function. Just read the desired tree into the index, and do a
checkout-cache --prefix=export-dir/ -a
and checkout-cache will "export" the cache into the specified directory.
NOTE! The final "/" is important. The exported name is literally just
prefixed with the specified string, so you can also do something like
checkout-cache --prefix=.merged- Makefile
to check out the currently cached copy of "Makefile" into the file
".merged-Makefile".
Usage string fixes to make maintenance easier (only one instance
of a string to update not multiple copies). I've spotted and
corrected inconsistent usage text in diff-tree while doing this.
Also diff-cache and read-tree usage text have been corrected to
match their up-to-date features. Earlier, neither "--cached"
form of diff-cache nor "-m single-merge" form of read-tree were
described.

Updates read-tree to use read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1()
function. The command can take either tree or commit IDs with
this patch.
The change involves a slight modification of how it recurses down
the tree. Earlier the caller only supplied SHA1 and the recurser
read the object using it, but now it is the caller's responsibility
to read the object and give it to the recurser. This matches the
way recursive behaviour is done in other tree- related commands.

This patch implements read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1(),
which can be used when you are interested in reading an unpacked
raw tree data but you do not know nor care if the SHA1 you
obtained your user is a tree ID or a commit ID. Before this
function's introduction, you would have called read_sha1_file(),
examined its type, parsed it to call read_sha1_file() again if
it is a commit, and verified that the resulting object is a
tree. Instead, this function does that for you. It returns
NULL if the given SHA1 is not either a tree or a commit.

This makes "dotest" a lot nicer to sue, especially for people who were
used to editing the commit comments after-the-fact in BK, which git
doesn't apply.
he syntax is
dotest [-q] mailbox [signoff]
so the command line operates exactly as you're used to. If you supply
the -q it will query before applying (I also added the [a]pply all the
rest option). If the signoff file is absent, no signoff line gets
added.
There's also one addition in this: a checkout-cache line. I added that
for poor saps like me whose laptop takes minutes to checkout a full
build tree, so I can run dotest in a directory with no checked out
files.
Normalize init-db environment variable handling, allowing the creation

Very useful to see what has changed since the last commit, either in

You'd want something like this if you are tracking a git archive

reading a single tree too. That should speed up a
trivial merge noticeably.
Also, don't bother reading back the tree we just wrote
when we committed a real merge. It had better be the
same one we still have..
Yes, the "parse_commit()" already checks for this condition, but
we need to check for it in rev-tree too, so that we don't start
walking the parent chain unnecessarily.
Doing the latest SCSI merge exposed two bugs in your merge script:
1) It doesn't like a completely new directory (the misc tree contains a
new drivers/scsi/lpfc)
2) the merge testing logic is wrong. You only want to exit 1 if the
merge fails.
My brain just flipped when it tried to read the "Applying" as part
of the explanation of the patch, and the sentence didn't make any
sense. The quotes make it clear what's going on.
Here's a small patch to commit-tree.c that does two things:
- allows the committer email address and name to be overridden
by environment variables (if you don't like the environment
variable names I've used (COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME,
COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL), feel free to change them.)
- provide the proper domainname to the author/committer email
address (otherwise, my address was only showing up as from the
hostname.)
This allows people to set sane values for the commit names and email
addresses, preventing odd, private hostnames and domains from being
exposed to the world.

$ show-diff -R
