edf563fbaa status: make "how to stage" messages optional
These messages are nice for new users, but experienced git
users know how to manipulate the index, and these messages

75194438f4 push: make non-fast-forward help message configurable
This message is designed to help new users understand what
has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not
help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters
the output, frequently dwarfing the regular status table and
making it harder to see.

This patch introduces a general configuration mechanism for
optional messages, with this push message as the first
example.

25fc1786ab pager: set LESS=FRSX also on Windows
Previously, this environment variable was set in the pager_preexec
callback, which is conditionally-compiled only on Unix, because it is not,
and cannot be, called on Windows.

With this patch the env member of struct child_process is used to set
the environment variable, which also works on Windows.

Noticed by Alexey Borzenkov.

2affea4125 start_command: do not clobber cmd->env on Windows code path
Previously, it would not be possible to call start_command twice for the
same struct child_process that has env set.

The fix is achieved by moving the loop that modifies the environment block
into a helper function. This also allows us to make two other helper
functions static.

59b8d38f6e http.c: remove verification of remote packs
Make http.c::fetch_pack_index() no longer check for the remote pack
with a HEAD request before fetching the corresponding pack index file.

Not only does sending a HEAD request before we do a GET incur a
performance penalty, it does not offer any significant error-
prevention advantages (pack fetching in the *_http_pack_request()
methods is capable of handling any errors on its own).

This addresses an issue raised elsewhere:

0460dba4b4 Makefile: Add NEEDS_CRYPTO_WITH_SSL
The Makefile comment for NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CRYPTO says to define it "if
you need -lcrypto with -lssl (Darwin)."  However, what it actually
does is add -lssl when you use -lcrypto and not the other way around.
However, libcrypto contains a majority of the ERR_* functions from
OpenSSL (at least on OS X) so we need it both ways.

So, add NEEDS_CRYPTO_WITH_SSL which adds -lcrypto to the OpenSSL link
flags and clarify the difference between it and NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CRYPTO.

c21398be6d gitk: Show diff of commits at end of compare-commits output
When comparing a string of commits, when we find two non-merge commits
that differ, we now write the two commits to files and diff the files.
This pulls out the logic for creating a temporary directory from
external_diff into a separate procedure so that the new diffcommits
procedure can use it.

Because the diff command returns an exit status of 1 when the files
differ, and Tcl treats that as an error, this adds catch {} around the
close statements in getblobdiffline.

At present this only removes the temporary files when gitk exits.  It
should remove them when the diff is done.

fadd069d03 merge-recursive: give less scary messages when merge did not start
When unpack_trees() three-way merge logic is called from merge-recursive
and finds that local changes are going to be clobbered, its plumbing level
messages were given as errors first, and then the merge driver added even
more scary message "fatal: merging of trees <a long object name> and
<another long object name> failed".

This is most often encountered by new CVS/SVN migrants who are used to
start a merge from a dirty work tree.  The saddest part is that the merge
refused to run to prevent _any_ damage from being done to your work tree
when these messages are given, but the messages look a lot more scarier
than the conflicted case where the user needs to resolve them.

Replace the plumbing level messages so that they talk about what it is
protecting the user from, and end the messages with "Aborting." so that it
becomes clear that the command did not do any harm.

The final "merging of trees failed" message is superfluous, unless you are
interested in debugging the merge-recursive itself.  Squelch the current
die() message by default, but allow it to help people who debug git with
verbosity level 4 or greater.

Unless there is some bug, an inner merge that does not touch working tree
should not trigger any such error, so emit the current die() message when
we see an error return from it while running the inner merge, too.  It
would also help people who debug git.

We could later add instructions on how to recover (i.e. "stash changes
away or commit on a side branch and retry") instead of the silent
exit(128) I have in this patch, and then use Peff's advice.* mechanism to
squelch it (e.g. "advice.mergeindirtytree"), but they are separate topics.

This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently
push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.

Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and

aeb84b05ae core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}
People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.

This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof.  This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

0ef95f72f8 pack-objects: free preferred base memory after usage
When adding objects for preferred delta base, the content from tree
objects leading to given paths is kept in a cache. This has the
potential to grow significantly, especially with large directories as
the whole tree object content is loaded in memory, even if in practice
the number of those objects is limited to the 256 cache entries plus the
$window root tree objects.  Still, that can't hurt freeing that up after
object enumeration is done, and before more memory is needed for delta
search.

6523078b96 make shallow repository deepening more network efficient
First of all, I can't find any reason why thin pack generation is
explicitly disabled when dealing with a shallow repository.  The
possible delta base objects are collected from the edge commits which
are always obtained through history walking with the same shallow refs
as the client, Therefore the client is always going to have those base
objects available. So let's remove that restriction.

Then we can make shallow repository deepening much more efficient by
using the remote's unshallowed commits as edge commits to get preferred
base objects for thin pack generation.  On git.git, this makes the data
transfer for the deepening of a shallow repository from depth 1 to depth 2
around 134 KB instead of 3.68 MB.

77b15bbd88 apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.

The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes.  The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors.  It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.

Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix.  Or you could call it a new feature.  The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.

Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have.  People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

efa574438f apply --whitespace=fix: detect new blank lines at eof correctly
The command tries to strip blank lines at the end of the file added by a
patch.  It is done by first detecting if a hunk in patch has additional
blank lines at the end of itself, and if so checking if such a hunk
applies at the end of file.  This patch addresses a bug in the logic to
implement the former (the previous one addressed a bug in the latter).

If the original ends with blank lines, often the patch hunk ends like
this:

    @@ -l,5 +m,7 @@$
    _context$
    _context$
    -deleted$
    +$

where _ stands for SP and $ shows a end-of-line.  This example patch adds
three trailing blank lines, but the code fails to notice it, because it
only pays attention to added blank lines at the very end of the hunk.  In
this example, the three added blank lines do not appear textually at the
end in the patch, even though you can see that they are indeed added at
the end, if you rearrange the diff like this:

    @@ -l,5 +m,7 @@$

b94f2ed (builtin-apply.c: make it more line oriented, 2008-01-26) broke
the logic used to detect if a hunk adds blank lines at the end of the
file.  With the new code after that commit:

 - img holds the contents of the file that the hunk is being applied to;

 - preimage has the lines the hunk expects to be in img; and

 - postimage has the lines the hunk wants to update the part in img that
   corresponds to preimage with.

and we need to compare if the last line of preimage (not postimage)
matches the last line of img to see if the hunk applies at the end of the
file.

2d14d65ce7 Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers
This style is overkill for some commands, but it's worthwhile to use
the same style to issue all commands, and it's useful to avoid
open-coding string lengths.

c9e388bb48 Make the "traditionally-supported" URLs a special case
Instead of trying to make http://, https://, and ftp:// URLs
indicative of some sort of pattern of transport helper usage, make
them a special case which runs the "curl" helper, and leave the
mechanism by which arbitrary helpers will be chosen entirely to future
work.

2b72ccb20a Add script for importing bits-and-pieces to Git.
Allows the user to import version history that is stored in bits and
pieces in the file system, for instance snapshots of old development
trees, or day-by-day backups. A configuration file is used to
describe the relationship between the different files and allow
describing branches and merges, as well as authorship and commit
messages.

Output is created in a format compatible with git-fast-import.

Full documentation is provided inline in perldoc format.

7e787953fb import-tars: Allow per-tar author and commit message.
If the "--metainfo=<ext>" option is given on the command line, a file
called "<filename.tar>.<ext>" will be used to create the commit message
for "<filename.tar>", instead of using "Imported from filename.tar".

The author and committer of the tar ball can also be overridden by
embedding an "Author:" or "Committer:" header in the metainfo file.
