a44aa6930c contrib/git-prompt.sh: handle missing 'printf -v' more gracefully
Old Bash (3.0) which is distributed with RHEL 4.X and other ancient
platforms that are still in wide use, do not have a printf that
supports -v.  Neither does Zsh (which is already handled in the code).

As suggested by Junio, let's test whether printf supports the -v
option and store the result.  Then later, we can use it to
determine whether 'printf -v' can be used, or whether printf
must be called in a subshell.

627a8b8dcd core-tutorial: trim the section on Inspecting Changes
Back when the core tutorial was written, `log` and `whatchanged`
were scripted Porcelains.  In the "Inspecting Changes" section that
talks about the plumbing commands in the diff family, it made sense
to use `log` and `whatchanged` as good examples of the use of these
plumbing commands, and because even these scripted Porcelains were
novelty (there wasn't the new end-user tutorial written), it made
some sense to illustrate uses of the `git log` (and `git
whatchanged`) scripted Porcelain commands.

But we no longer have scripted `log` and `whatchanged` to serve as
examples, and this document is not where the end users learn what
`git log` command is about.  Stop at briefly mentioning the
possibility of combining rev-list with diff-tree to build your own
log, and leave the end-user documentation of `log` to the new
tutorial and the user manual.

Also resurrect the last version of `git-log`, `git-whatchanged`, and
`git-show` to serve as examples to contrib/examples/ directory.

While at it, remove 'whatchanged' from a list of sample commands
that are affected by GIT_FLUSH environment variable. This is not
meant to be an exhaustive list but as a list of typical ones, and an
old command that is kept primarily for backward compatibility does
not belong to it.

Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good
enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the
working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some
time ago, and it started biting us in places.  This removes it and
uses the standard lstat() that comes with Cygwin.

Recent topic that uses lstat on packed-refs file is broken when
this cheating lstat is used, and this is a simplest fix that is
also the cleanest direction to go in the long run.

19c3c5fdcb Avoid using echo -n anywhere
`echo -n` is non-portable. The POSIX specification says:

    Conforming applications that wish to do prompting without <newline>
    characters or that could possibly be expecting to echo a -n, should
    use the printf utility derived from the Ninth Edition system.

Since all of the affected shell scripts use a POSIX shell shebang,
replace `echo -n` invocations with printf.

The purpose of git-contacts is to determine a list of people who might
have some interest in a patch or set of changes. It can be used as
git-send-email's --cc-cmd argument or the computed list might be used to
ask for comments on a proposed change.  As such, it is important to
report up-to-date email addresses in the computed list rather than
potentially outdated ones recorded with commits.  Apply git's mailmap
functionality to the retrieved contacts in order to achieve this goal.

4d06402b1b contrib: add git-contacts helper
This script lists people that might be interested in a patch by going
back through the history for each patch hunk, and finding people that
reviewed, acknowledged, signed, authored, or were Cc:'d on the code the
patch is modifying.

It does this by running git-blame incrementally on each hunk and then
parsing the commit message. After gathering all participants, it
determines each person's relevance by considering how many commits
mentioned that person compared with the total number of commits under
consideration. The final output consists only of participants who pass a
minimum threshold of participation.

Several conditions controlling a person's significance are currently
hard-coded, such as minimum participation level, blame date-limiting,
and -C level for detecting moved and copied lines. In the future, these
conditions may become configurable.

For example:

  % git contacts 0001-remote-hg-trivial-cleanups.patch
  Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
  Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
  Max Horn <max@quendi.de>
  Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Thus, it can be invoked as git-send-email's --cc-cmd option, among other
possible uses.

This is a Perl rewrite of Felipe Contreras' git-related patch series[1]
written in Ruby.

Add a command to allow previewing the contents locally before

I personally do not think this belongs to Git.  If you are working

format to preview what you will be pushing out, and if you are
working on a set of C or Java source files, you do want to test it
before pushing it out, too.  That kind of thing belongs to your
build script, not to your SCM.

f66450ae94 cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.

Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

bc501f69fc git-multimail: an improved replacement for post-receive-email
Add git-multimail, a tool for generating notification emails for
pushes to a Git repository.  It is largely plug-in compatible with
post-receive-email, and is proposed to eventually replace that script.
The advantages of git-multimail relative to post-receive-email are
described in README.migrate-from-post-receive-email.

git-multimail is organized in a directory contrib/hooks/multimail.
The directory contains:

* git_multimail.py -- a Python module that can generate notification
  emails for pushes to a Git repository.  The file can be used
  directly as a post-receive script (configured via git config
  settings), or it can be imported as a Python module and configured
  via arbitrary Python code.

* README -- user-level documentation for configuring and using
  git-multimail.

* post-receive -- an example of building a post-receive script that
  imports git_multimail.py as a Python module, with an example of how
  to change the email templates.

* README.migrate-from-post-receive-email -- documentation targeted at
  current users of post-receive-email, explaining the differences and
  how to migrate a post-receive-email configuration to git-multimail.

* migrate-mailhook-config -- a script that can migrate a user's
  post-receive-email configuration options to the equivalent
  git-multimail options.

* README.Git -- a short explanation of the relationship between
  git-multimail and the rest of the Git project, plus the exact date
  and revision when this version was taken from the upstream project.

All but the last file are taken verbatim from the upstream
git-multimail project.

git-multimail is originally derived from post-receive-email and also
incorporates suggestions from the mailing list as well as patches by
the people listed below.

As plumbing accessible to scripts and other porcelain, check-mailmap
publishes the stable, well-tested .mailmap functionality employed by
built-in Git commands.  Consequently, script authors need not
re-implement .mailmap functionality manually, thus avoiding potential
quirks and behavioral differences.

In the current state, a user of git-remote-mediawiki can edit the markup text
locally, but has to push to the remote wiki to see how the page is rendererd.
Add a new 'git mw preview' command that allows rendering the markup text on

This uses Mediawiki's API to render the markup and inserts it in an actual
HTML page from the wiki so that CSS can be rendered properly. Most links
should work when the page exists on the remote.

The introduction of the Git::Mediawiki package makes it impossible to test,

Using a git bin-wrapper enables us to define proper $GITPERLLIB to force the

e19189060f git-remote-mediawiki: introduction of Git::Mediawiki.pm
We would want to allow the user to preview what he has edited locally
before pushing it out (and thus creating a non-removable revision in
the mediawiki's history).

This patch introduces a new perl package in which we will be able to
share code between that new tool and the remote helper:
git-remote-mediawiki.perl.

A perl package offers the best way to handle such case: Each script
can select what should be imported in its namespace.  The package
namespacing limits the use of side effects in the shared code.

An alternate solution is to concatenate a "toolset" file with each
*.perl when 'make'-ing the project. In that scheme, everything is
imported in the script's namespace. Plus, files should be renamed in
order to chain to Git's toplevel makefile. Hence, this solution is not
acceptable.

allows users to use the stuck form of "--work-tree=<path>" and

Similarly, the completion only handles the stuck form "--git-dir=<path>"

cf4cac4cfc git-prompt.sh: add missing information in comments
Mention that the command below is needed for prompt
in ZSH with PS1:
  setopt PROMPT_SUBST

Rephrase some parts that mention only the "current branch name"
being displayed in the prompt. Replace it by stating that
the "repository status" is displayed.

Make it clear that colored prompt is only available
in PROMPT_COMMAND/precmd mode.

7fe9031920 git-prompt.sh: refactor colored prompt code
__git_ps1_colorize_gitstring() sets color codes and
builds the prompt gitstring. It has duplicated code
to handle color codes for bash and zsh shells.
__git_ps1() also has duplicated logic to build the
prompt gitstring.

Remove duplication of logic to build gitstring in
__git_ps1_colorize_gitstring() and __git_ps1().

Leave in __git_ps1_colorize_gitstring() only logic
to set color codes.

a694258457 bash prompt: mention that PROMPT_COMMAND mode is faster
__git_ps1() is usually added to the prompt inside a command
substitution, imposing the overhead of fork()ing a subshell.  Using
__git_ps1() for $PROMPT_COMMAND is slightly faster, because it avoids
that command substitution.

Mention this in the comments about setting up the git prompt.

The whole series speeds up the bash prompt on Windows/MSysGit
considerably.  Here are some timing results in three scenarios, each
repeated 10 times:

At the top of the work tree, before:

    $ time for i in {0..9} ; do prompt="$(__git_ps1)" ; done

    real    0m1.716s
    user    0m0.301s
    sys     0m0.772s

  After:

    real    0m0.687s
    user    0m0.075s
    sys     0m0.396s

  After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND:

    $ time for i in {0..9} ; do __git_ps1 '\h:\w' '$ ' ; done

    real    0m0.546s
    user    0m0.075s
    sys     0m0.181s

At the top of the work tree, detached head, before:

    real    0m2.574s
    user    0m0.376s
    sys     0m1.207s

  After:

    real    0m1.139s
    user    0m0.151s
    sys     0m0.500s

  After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND:

    real    0m1.030s
    user    0m0.245s
    sys     0m0.336s

In a subdirectory, during rebase, stash status indicator enabled,
before:

    real    0m3.557s
    user    0m0.495s
    sys     0m1.767s

  After:

    real    0m0.717s
    user    0m0.120s
    sys     0m0.300s

  After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND:

    real    0m0.577s
    user    0m0.047s
    sys     0m0.258s

On Linux the speedup ratio is comparable to Windows, but overall it
was about an order of magnitude faster to begin with.  The last case
from above, repeated 100 times, before:

    $ time for i in {0..99} ; do prompt="$(__git_ps1)" ; done

    real    0m2.806s
    user    0m0.180s
    sys     0m0.264s

  After:

    real    0m0.857s
    user    0m0.020s
    sys     0m0.028s

69a8141a5d bash prompt: avoid command substitution when finalizing gitstring
Before setting $PS1, __git_ps1() uses a command substitution to
redirect the output from a printf into a variable.  Spare the overhead
of fork()ing a subshell by using 'printf -v <var>' to directly assign
the output to that variable.

zsh's printf doesn't support the '-v <var>' option, so stick with the
command substitution when under zsh.
