2. --merge-order doesn't deal properly with arguments of the form

3. if one of the specified heads is reachable from the other, the
head gets printed twice and this causes problems for upcoming

Patch for a completely rewritten file detected by the -B flag
was shown as a pair of creation followed by deletion in earlier
versions. This was an misguided attempt to make reviewing such
a complete rewrite easier, and unnecessarily ended up confusing
git-apply. Instead, show the entire contents of old version
prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new
version prefixed with '+'. This gives the same easy-to-review
for human consumer while keeping it a single, regular
modification patch for machine consumption, something that even
GNU patch can grok.

Like diff-tree, this patch makes -C option for diff-* brothers

by default. Give --find-copies-harder to use unmodified files
to find copies from as well.
This also fixes "diff-files -C" problem earlier noticed by
Linus. It was feeding the null sha1 even when the file in the
work tree was known to match what is in the index file. This
resulted in diff-files showing everything in the project.

But warn about them. If somebody really ends up later wanting to
explicitly add a note that something has the same parent twice (who
knows, there are strange people around), we can add a flag to say that
it's expected and ok.
This was brought on by a commit in the kernel tree, where a repeated
merge caused a duplicate parent.
Parent duplicates aren't "wrong" per se, they're just in practice not
something you are ever interested in.
This is (imho) more readable, and is also a lot faster. The expense of
looking up sub-directory beginnings was killing us on things like
"git-diff-cache", even though that one didn't even care at all about the
file vs directory conflicts.
We really only care when somebody tries to add a conflicting name to
stage 0.
We should go through the conflict rules more carefully some day.

Otherwise the "git log" information doesn't tell enough to make sense of
a merge.
I'll need to add some parent information for regular entries too, I
think, but the merge is more important.
This is useful for doing binary searching for problems. You start with
a known good and known bad point, and you then test the "halfway" point
in between:
git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good
and you test that. If that one tests good, you now still have a known
bad case, but two known good points, and you can bisect again:
git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good1 ^good2
and test that point. If that point is bad, you now use that as your
known-bad starting point:
git-rev-list --bisect newbad ^good1 ^good2
and basically at every iteration you shrink your list of commits by
half: you're binary searching for the point where the troubles started,
even though there isn't a nice linear ordering.
The "C" in "-C" may stand for "Cool", but it's also pretty slow, since
right now it leaves all unmodified files to be tested even if there are
no new files at all. That just ends up being unacceptably slow for big
projects, especially if it's not all in the cache.
Jens was the second person who hadn't heard of the "merge" program, and
didn't have it installed. So document as many dependency and install
issues as I can think of.
Fix permissions, and add trivial "reset" and "add" scripts.
The "reset" script just resets the index back to head, while the "add"
script is just a crutch for people used to do "cvs add".
Paths in the host:path notation are usually interpreted
relative to the login directory rather than relative to
the root directory.

So now you can say
git-whatchanged -p v2.6.12-rc5.. drivers/usb
and it will show you what changed (as a patch) in drivers/usb since the
v2.6.12-rc5 release.
Sometimes we only want to output revisions, and sometimes we want to
only see the stuff that wasn't revisions. Teach git-rev-parse to
understand the "--revs-only" and "--no-revs" flags.
It's an incredibly cheesy helper that changes human-readable revision
arguments into the git-rev-list argument format.
You can use it to do something like this:
git-rev-list --pretty $(git-rev-parse --default HEAD "$@")
which is what git-log-script will become. Here git-rev-parse will
then allow you to use arguments like "v2.6.12-rc5.." or similar
human-readable ranges.
It's really quite stupid: "a..b" will be converted into "a" and "^b" if
"a" and "b" are valid object pointers. And the "--default" case will be
used if nothing but flags have been seen, so that you can default to a
certain argument if there are no other ranges.
Add "-z fuzz" argument, passed to cvsps, and clean up argument
processing. Also, use "cvsps --cvs-direct", which is is somewhat
faster.
Give the user the option of specifying the timestamp fuzz passed to
cvsps. Looking at the other arguments to it, I can't see anything else
that would be sane to play with. Also, use --cvs-direct, which speeds
up cvsps for remote repositories and doesn't seem to do anything bad to
local repositories.

This patch adds some sanity checking to git-cvsimport-script,
specifically forcing the use of cvsps -x (to get the latest information
from the repository, rather than whatever is in the cache) and aborting
early if cvsps does not produce any output.
I debated removing the $MODULE directory following an abort, but I
eventually decided leaving stuff behind would make debugging easier. On
the other hand, this patch should help with the "cvsimport left me with
an empty repository" complaints.
Call cvsps with the -x flag, to get the current state of the repository,
and abort the cvs import early if cvsps does not produce any output.

This patch teaches read-tree 3-way merge that, when only "the
other tree" changed a path, and if the index file already has
the same change, we are not in a situation that would clobber
the index and the work tree, and lets the merge succeed; this is
case #14ALT in t1000 test. It does not change the result of the
merge, but prevents it from failing when it does not have to.

This adds #3ALT rule (and #2ALT rule for symmetry) to the
read-tree 3-way merge logic that collapses paths that are added
only in one branch and not in the other internally.
This makes --emu23 to succeed in the last remaining case where
the pure 2-way merge succeeded and earlier one failed. Running
diff between t1001 and t1005 test scripts shows that the only
difference between the two is that --emu23 can leave the states
into separate stages so that the user can use usual 3-way merge
resolution techniques to carry forward the local changes when
pure 2-way merge would have refused to run.

This fixes too strong index requirement 3-way merge enforces in
one case: the same file is added in both branches.
In this case, the original code insisted that if the index file
has that path, it must match our branch and be up-to-date.
However in this particular case, it only has to match it, and
can be dirty. We just need to make sure that we keep the
work-tree copy instead of checking out the merge result.
The resolution of such a path, however, cannot be left to
outside script, because we will not keep the original stage0
entries for unmerged paths when read-tree finishes, and at that
point, the knowledge of "if we resolve it to match the new file
added in both branches, the merge succeeds and the work tree
would not lose information, but we should _not_ update the work
tree from the resulting index file" is lost. For this reason,
the now code needs to resolve this case (#5ALT) internally.
This affects some existing tests in the test suite, but all in
positive ways. In t1000 (3-way test), this #5ALT case now gets
one stage0 entry, instead of an identical stage2 and stage3
entry pair, for such a path, and one test that checked for merge
failure (because the test assumed the "stricter-than-necessary"
behaviour) does not have to fail anymore. In t1005 (emu23
test), two tests that involves a case where the work tree
already had a change introduced in the upstream (aka "merged
head"), the merge succeeds instead of failing.

This new flag causes two-way fast forward to internally use the
three-way merge mechanism. This behaviour is intended to offer
a better fast forward semantics when used in a dirty work tree.
The new test t1005 is parallel to the existing t1001 "pure
2-way" tests, but some parts that are commented out would fail.
These failures are due to three-way merge enforcing too strict
index requirements for cases that could succeed. This problem
will be addressed by later patches.
Without even changing three-way mechanism, the --emu23 two-way
fast forward already gives the user an easier-to-handle merge
result when a file that "merged head" updates has local
modifications. This is demonstrated as "case 16" test in t1005.
