notes.c:
notes.c(927) : warning C4550: expression evaluates to a \
function which is missing an argument list
along with identical warnings on lines 928, 1016 and 1017.
In order to suppress the warning, we change the definition of
combine_notes_fn, so that the symbol type is an (explicit)
"pointer to function ...". As a result, several other

new typedef.

This patches enables to perform textconv with blame if a textconv driver is
available fos the file.
The main task is performed by the textconv_object function which prepares
diff_filespec and if possible converts the file using diff textconv API.
Only regular files are converted, so the mode of diff_filespec is faked.
Textconv conversion is enabled by default (equivalent to the option
--textconv), since blaming binary files is useless in most cases.
The option --no-textconv is used to disable textconv conversion.
The declarations of several functions are modified to give access to a
diff_options, in order to know whether the textconv option is activated or not.

By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.
This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.

This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the
pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern,
it also jumps to the first match right away.
The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's
options (as suggested by Junio).
So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)'
except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not
start the pager if there was no matching file.

We generally disallow empty commits with "git commit". The
output produced by the wt_status functions is generally
sufficient to explain what happened.
With --amend commits, however, things are a little more
confusing. We would create an empty commit not if you
actually have staged changes _now_, but if your staged
changes match HEAD^. In this case, it is not immediately
obvious why "git commit" claims no changes, but "git status"
does not. Furthermore, we should point the user in the
direction of git reset, which would eliminate the empty
commit entirely.

This makes it possible to pass many commits or ranges of
commits to "git cherry-pick" and to "git revert" to process
many commits instead of just one.
In fact commits are now enumerated with an equivalent of
git rev-list --no-walk "$@"
so all the following are now possible:
git cherry-pick master~2..master
git cherry-pick ^master~2 master
git cherry-pick master^ master
The following should be possible but does not work:
git cherry-pick -2 master
because "git rev-list --no-walk -2 master" only outputs
one commit as "--no-walk" seems to take over "-2".
And there is currently no way to continue cherry-picking or
reverting if there is a problem with one commit. It's also
not possible to abort the whole process. Some future work
should provide the --continue and --abort options to do
just that.

If we know we are creating a bare repository, we use setenv
to set the GIT_DIR directory to the current directory
(either where we already were, or one we created and chdir'd
into with "git init --bare <dir>").
However, with "git --bare init <dir>" (note the --bare as a
git wrapper option), the setup code actually sets GIT_DIR
for us, but it uses the wrong, original cwd when a directory
is given. Because our setenv does not use the overwrite
flag, it is ignored.
We need to set the overwrite flag, but only when we are
given a directory on the command line. That still allows:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare
to work. The behavior is changed for:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git
which used to create the repository in foo.git, but now will
use bar.git. This is more sane, as command line options
should generally override the environment.

When cherry-picking, usually the new and old commit encodings are both
UTF-8. Most old iconv implementations do not support this trivial
conversion, so on old platforms, out->message remains NULL, and later
attempts to read it segfault.
Fix this by noticing the input and output encodings match and skipping
the iconv step, like the other reencode_string() call sites already do.
Also stop segfaulting on other iconv failures: if iconv fails for some
other reason, the best we can do is to pass the old message through.

I have an alias that takes two arguments and compares their patch IDs.
I would like to use to make sure I've tested exactly what I submit
(patch by patch), like
git patch-cmp origin/master.. file-being-sent
However, I cannot do that because git patch-id is fooled by the "-- "
trailer that git format-patch puts, or likely by the MIME boundary.
This patch adds hunk parsing logic to git patch-id in order to detect an
out of place "-" line and split the patch when it comes. In addition,
commit ids in the "From " lines are considered and printed in the output.

When using git log --pretty='%N' without an explicit --show-notes, git

Instead of breaking execution when no remote (as specified in the
variable dest) is specified when git-ls-remote is invoked, continue on
and let remote_get() handle it.
This way, we are able to use the default remotes (eg. "origin",
branch.<name>.remote), as git-fetch, git-push, and other users of
remote_get(), do.
If no suitable remote is found, exit with a message describing the
issue, instead of just the usage text, as we do previously.
Add several tests to check that git-ls-remote handles the
no-remote-specified situation.
Also add a test that "git ls-remote <pattern>" does not work; we are
unable to guess the remote in that situation, as are git-fetch and
git-push.
In that test, we are testing for messages coming from two separate
processes, but we should be OK, because the second message is triggered
by closing the fd which must happen after the first message is printed.

Currently when using a remote helper to clone a repository, the
remote helper will be passed the url of the target repository as
first argument (which represents the name of the remote). This name
is extracted from transport->remote->name, which is set by
builtin/clone.c when it calls remote_get with argv[0] as argument.
Fix this by passing the name remote will be set up as instead.
However, setup_reference calls remote_get before the remote is
added to the config file. This will result in an improperly
configured remote (in memory) if later on remote_get is called
with an argument that is not equal to the initial remote_get call
in setup_reference. Fix this by delaying the remote_get call until
after the remote has been added to the config file.

Similar to -b, --orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any
commit. After running "git checkout --orphan newbranch", you are on a
new branch "newbranch", and the first commit you create from this state
will start a new history without any ancestry.
"git checkout --orphan" keeps the index and the working tree files
intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose
trees resemble the ones from the original branch.
When creating a branch whose trees have no resemblance to the ones from
the original branch, it may be easier to start work on the new branch by
untracking and removing all working tree files that came from the
original branch, by running a 'git rm -rf .' immediately after running
"checkout --orphan".

When reverting a commit, the commit being merged is not the commit
to revert itself but its parent. Add “parent of” to the conflict
hunk label to make this more clear.
The conflict hunk labels are all pieces of a single string written in
the new get_message() function. Avoid some complication by using
mempcpy to advance a pointer as the result is written.
Also free the corresponding temporary buffer (it was leaked before).
This is not important because it is a small one-time allocation. It
would become a memory leak if unnoticed when libifying revert.
This patch uses calls to strlen() instead of integer constants in some
places. GCC will compute the length at compile time; I am not sure
about other compilers, but this is not performance-critical anyway.

git checkout --merge --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflict
hunks including text from the common ancestor. The added information
is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and merge tools tend to
understand it because it is very similar to what ‘diff3 -m’ produces.
Unlike current git, diff3 -m includes a label for the merge base on
the ||||||| line, and unfortunately, some tools cannot parse the
conflict hunks without it. Humans can benefit from a cue when
learning to interpreting the format, too. Mark the start of the text
from the old branch with a label based on the branch’s name.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing this output and its preimage

git checkout --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflicts hunks

>>>>>>> theirs
The added information is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and
merge tools can usually understand it without trouble because it looks
like output from ‘diff3 -m’.
diff3 includes a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line, and it
seems some tools (for example, Emacs 22’s smerge-mode) cannot parse
conflict hunks without such a label. Humans could use help in
interpreting the output, too. So change the marker for the start of the
text from the common ancestor to include the label “base”.
git rerere’s conflict identifiers are not affected: to parse conflict
hunks, rerere looks for whitespace after the ||||||| marker rather
than a newline, and to compute preimage ids, rerere has its own code
for creating conflict hunks. No other code in git tries to parse
conflict hunks.

format is unchanged. All callers pass NULL for now.

The labels for the three participants in a potential conflict are all
optional arguments for the xdiff merge routine; if they are NULL, then
xdl_merge() can cope by omitting the labels from its output. Move
them to the xmparam structure to allow new callers to save some

This also has the virtue of making the xdiff merge interface more

If context lines are to be printed, grep separates them with hunk marks
("--\n"). These marks are printed between matches from different files,
too. They are not printed before the first file, though.
Threading was disabled when context line printing was enabled because
avoiding to print the mark before the first line was an unsolved
synchronisation problem. This patch separates the code for printing
hunk marks for the threaded and the unthreaded case, allowing threading
to be turned on together with the common -ABC options.
->show_hunk_mark, which controls printing of hunk marks between files in
show_line(), is now set in grep_buffer_1(), but only if some results
have already been printed and threading is disabled. The threaded case
is handled in work_done().

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more

[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]

[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
