1e5aaa6db3 Make git-add -i accept ranges like 7-
git-add -i ranges expect number-number. But for the supremely lazy, typing in
that second number when selecting "from patch 7 to the end" is wasted effort.
So treat an empty second number in a range as "until the last item".

ec05df353c git-submodule - make "submodule add" more strict, and document it
This change makes "submodule add" much more strict in the arguments it
takes, and is intended to address confusion as recently noted on the
git-list. With this change, the required syntax is:

	$ git submodule add URL path

Specifically, this eliminates the form

	$ git submodule add URL

which was confused by more than one person as

	$ git submodule add path

With this patch, the URL locating the submodule's origin repository can be
either an absolute URL, or (if it begins with ./ or ../) can express the
submodule's repository location relative to the superproject's origin.

This patch also eliminates a third form of URL, which was relative to the
superproject's top-level directory (not its repository).  Any URL that was
neither absolute nor matched ./*|../* was assumed to point to a
subdirectory of the superproject as the location of the submodule's origin
repository.  This URL form was confusing and does not seem to correspond
to an important use-case.  Specifically, no-one has identified the need to
clone from a repository already in the superproject's tree, but if this is
needed it is easily done using an absolute URL: $(pwd)/relative-path.  So,
no functionality is lost with this patch. (t6008-rev-list-submodule.sh did
rely upon this relative URL, fixed by using $(pwd).)

Following this change, there are exactly four variants of
submodule-add, as both arguments have two flavors:

URL can be absolute, or can begin with ./|../ and thus names the
submodule's origin relative to the superproject's origin.

Note: With this patch, "submodule add" discerns an absolute URL as
matching /*|*:*: e.g., URL begins with /, or it contains a :.  This works
for all valid URLs, an absolute path in POSIX, as well as an absolute path
on Windows).

path can either already exist as a valid git repo, or will be cloned from
the given URL.  The first form here eases creation of a new submodule in
an existing superproject as the submodule can be added and tested in-tree
before pushing to the public repository.  However, the more usual form is
the second, where the repo is cloned from the given URL.

This specifically addresses the issue of

	$ git submodule add a/b/c

attempting to clone from a repository at "a/b/c" to create a new module
in "c". This also simplifies description of "relative URL" as there is now
exactly *one* form: a URL relative to the parent's origin repo.

dc29bc8bd2 tutorial: clarify "pull" is "fetch + merge"
The document says that a fetch with a configured remote stores what are
fetched in the remote tracking branches "Unlike the longhand form", but
there is no longhand form "fetch" demonstrated earlier.

This adds a missing demonstration of the longhand form, and a new
paragraph to explain why some people might want to fetch before pull.

The pretty format %an does not respect .mailmap, but gives the exact
author name recorded in the commit.  Sometimes it is more desirable,
however, to look if the email has another name mapped to it in .mailmap.

This commit adds %aN (and %cN for the committer name) to do exactly that.

049716b370 branch --merged/--no-merged: allow specifying arbitrary commit
"git-branch --merged" is a handy way to list all the branches that have
already been merged to the current branch, but it did not allow checking
against anything but the current branch.  Having to switch branches only
to list the branches that are merged with another branch made the feature
practically useless.

This updates the option parser so that "git branch --merged next" is
accepted when you are on 'master' branch.

caf1899699 Documentation: tweak use case in "git stash save --keep-index"
The documentation suggests using "git stash apply" in the
--keep-index workflow even though doing so will lead to clutter
in the stash.  And given that the changes are about to be
committed anyway "git stash pop" is more sensible.

Additionally the text preceeding the example claims that it
works for "two or more commits", but the example itself is
really tailored for just two.  Expanding it just a little
makes it clear how the procedure generalizes to N commits.

Finally the example is annotated with some commentary to
explain things on a line-by-line basis.

Merge has always set ORIG_HEAD but never mentioned it, while we

git-reset also sets ORIG_HEAD, but that fact is already mentioned in

7bedebcaad stash: introduce 'stash save --keep-index' option
'git stash save' saves local modifications to a new stash, and runs 'git
reset --hard' to revert them to a clean index and work tree.  When the
'--keep-index' option is specified, after that 'git reset --hard' the
previous contents of the index is restored and the work tree is updated
to match the index.  This option is useful if the user wants to commit
only parts of his local modifications, but wants to test those parts

ac083c47ea git-add--interactive: manual hunk editing mode
Adds a new option 'e' to the 'add -p' command loop that lets you edit
the current hunk in your favourite editor.

If the resulting patch applies cleanly, the edited hunk will
immediately be marked for staging. If it does not apply cleanly, you
will be given an opportunity to edit again. If all lines of the hunk
are removed, then the edit is aborted and the hunk is left unchanged.

Applying the changed hunk(s) relies on Johannes Schindelin's new
--recount option for git-apply.

Note that the "real patch" test intentionally uses
  (echo e; echo n; echo d) | git add -p
even though the 'n' and 'd' are superfluous at first sight.  They
serve to get out of the interaction loop if git add -p wrongly
concludes the patch does not apply.

Many thanks to Jeff King <peff@peff.net> for lots of help and
suggestions.

b1889c36d8 Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)

This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

With the dashed forms of git commands not in $(bindir), we have
to change many instances of "git-command" to "git command". Also,
for consistency it is at times appropriate to make the opposite
change. In some cases, the change is not so simple as changing one
character.

This patch gets rid of some of those cases by rewrapping lines.

dc87183189 Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not other programs
For everything other than using "git config" to read or write a
git-style config file that isn't the current repo's config file,
GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which
programs are important enough to have work anyway, just fix all of
them at the root.

Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs
that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own
git-specific config, and want to use some other, presumably
git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that
it was ever used.

df6a7ff7ac builtin-fast-export: Add importing and exporting of revision marks
This adds the --import-marks and --export-marks to fast-export. These import
and export the marks used to for all revisions exported in a similar fashion
to what fast-import does. The format is the same as fast-import, so you can
create a bidirectional importer / exporter by using the same marks file on
both sides.

aafe9fbaf4 Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.

[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing.  Hell really _has_ frozen
    over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.

3240240ff4 Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.

Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.

Some are:

 -f, --foo::
 -f|--foo::
 -f | --foo::

But AsciiDoc has the special form:

 -f::
 --foo::

This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

It is unfortunate that "git init --bare" does not work and the only reason
why "init" did not learn its own "--bare" option is because "git --bare
init" already does the job (and as an option to the git 'potty', it is
more generic solution).

This teaches "git init" its own "--bare" option, so that both "git --bare init"
and "git init --bare" works mostly the same way.

7528f27dd6 log --graph --left-right: show left/right information in place of '*'
With the --graph option, the graph already outputs 'o' instead of '*'
for boundary commits.  Make it emit '<' or '>' when --left-right is
specified.

(This change also disables the '^' prefix for UNINTERESTING commits.
The graph code currently doesn't print anything special for these
commits, since it assumes no UNINTERESTING, non-BOUNDARY commits are
displayed.  This is potentially a bug if UNINTERESTING non-BOUNDARY
commits can actually be displayed via some code path.)

Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.

For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds.  Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

d775734c40 cvsexportcommit: introduce -W for shared working trees (between Git and CVS)
If you have a CVS checkout, it is easy to import the CVS history by
calling "git cvsimport".  However, interacting with the CVS repository
using "git cvsexportcommit" was cumbersome, since that script assumes
separate working directories for Git and CVS.

Now, you can call cvsexportcommit with the -W option.  This will
automatically discover the GIT_DIR, and it will check out the parent
commit before exporting the commit.

The intended workflow is this:

$ CVSROOT=$URL cvs co module
$ cd module
$ git cvsimport
hack, hack, hack, making two commits, cleaning them up using rebase -i.
$ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD^
$ git cvsexportcommit -W -c -p -u HEAD

50fd9bd843 diff options: Introduce --ignore-submodules
The new option --ignore-submodules can now be used to ignore changes in
submodules.

Why?  Sometimes it is not interesting when a submodule changed.

For example, when reordering some commits in the superproject, a dirty
submodule is usually totally uninteresting.  So we will use this option
in git-rebase to test for a dirty working tree.

d84ae0dbd5 Documentation/config.txt: Add git-gui options
The 'git gui' has a number of options that can be specified using the
options dialog. Sometimes it is convenient to be able to specify these
from the command line, therefor document these options.

921177f50f Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch" examples
Before this patch in "git-add.txt" and "git-format-patch.txt", the
commands used in the examples were "git-CMD" instead of "git CMD".
This patch fixes that.

In "git-pull.txt" only the last example had the code sample in an
asciidoc "Listing Block", and in the other two files, none.
This patch fixes that by putting all code samples in listing
blocks.

object specified, a line of the following form is printed:

<sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF

If the object does not exist in the repository, a line of the following form is
