After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.
In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.
Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.
Also add tests to verify this behavior.

Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.
When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.
Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.
If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:
$ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

Sometimes people want their conflicting merges autoresolved by
favouring upstream changes. The standard answer they are given is
to run "git diff --name-only | xargs git checkout MERGE_HEAD --" in
such a case. This is to accept automerge results for the paths that
are fully resolved automatically, while taking their version of the
file in full for paths that have conflicts.
This is problematic on two counts.
One is that this is not exactly what these people want. It discards
all changes they did on their branch for any paths that conflicted.
They usually want to salvage as much automerge result as possible in
a conflicted file, and want to take the upstream change only in the
conflicted part.
This patch teaches two new modes of operation to the lowest-lever
merge machinery, xdl_merge(). Instead of leaving the conflicted
lines from both sides enclosed in <<<, ===, and >>> markers, the
conflicts are resolved favouring our side or their side of changes.
A larger problem is that this tends to encourage a bad workflow by
allowing people to record such a mixed up half-merged result as a
full commit without auditing. This commit does not tackle this
issue at all. In git, we usually give long enough rope to users
with strange wishes as long as the risky features are not enabled by
default, and this is such a risky feature.

This adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with
the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl
to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which
sends the password in plaintext).
When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time,
in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which
lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default.
One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which
doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response
mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires
at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier
versions of curl.

Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display
during the writing object phase even if output goes to stdout which is
primarily the case during a push operation. This has the unfortunate
side effect of forcing progress display even if stderr is not a
terminal.
Let's introduce the --all-progress-implied argument which has the same
intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress
display. With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited
whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be
included otherwise. This should let people use 'git push' within a cron
job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

Looking at the other eight occurrences of "GIT" I found one other

* One occurrence was in the output of 'git cat-file'.
* One occurrence was as part of the file name "GIT-VERSION-GEN".

When the usage string for a subcommand must be printed,
only print the information relevant to that command.
This commit also removes the complete options list from
the first line of the subcommand usage string. Instead,
individual options are documented in the detailed
description following the general usage line.

Similar to the command line arguments, after giving zero or more revs, you can
feed a line "--" and then feed pathspecs one at a time.
With this
(
echo ^maint
echo --
echo Documentation
) | git log --stat --oneline --stdin master -- t
lists commits that touch Documentation/ or t/ between maint and master.

Move the logic to read revs from standard input that rev-list knows about
from it to revision machinery, so that all the users of setup_revisions()
can feed the list of revs from the standard input when "--stdin" is used
on the command line.
Allow some users of the revision machinery that want different semantics
from the "--stdin" option to disable it by setting an option in the
rev_info structure.
This also cleans up the kludge made to bundle.c via cut and paste.

In 395de250d (Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template),
we introduced the mechanism. But expanding ~ using getpw is not what
people overriding $HOME would usually expect. In particular, git looks
for the user's .gitconfig using $HOME, so it's better to be consistent.

These config variables are parsed to substitute ~ and ~user with getpw

user_path() refactored into new function expand_user_path(), to allow
dynamically allocating the return buffer.

This allows a helper to say that, when it handles "import
refs/heads/topic", the script it outputs will actually write to
refs/svn/origin/branches/topic; therefore, transport-helper should
read it from the latter location after git-fast-import completes.

This command, supported if the "import" capability is advertized,
allows a helper to support fetching by outputting a git-fast-import
stream.
If both "fetch" and "import" are advertized, git itself will use
"fetch" (although other users may use "import" in this case).

If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".
It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

The description of the configuration variable is obsolete and
wrong (saying only file content is used), not just incomplete.
It has used the attribute mechanism for a long time.

configuration variable in its description of crlf attribute.

We parse unhandled.log files for empty_dir statements and make a
best effort attempt to recreate empty directories on fresh
clones and rebase. This should cover the majority of cases
where users work off a single branch or for projects where
branches do not differ in empty directories.
Since this cannot affect "normal" git commands like "checkout"
or "reset", so users switching between branches in a single
working directory should use the new "git svn mkdirs" command
after switching branches.

Make it clear in the docs that the merge takes the tree of HEAD and
ignores everything in the other branches. This should hopefully clear
up confusion, usually caused by the user looking for a strategy that
resolves all conflict hunks in favour of HEAD (which is completely
different and currently not supported).

Expose the command used by launch_editor() for scripts to use.
This should allow one to avoid searching for a proper editor
separately in each command.
git_editor(void) uses the logic to decide which editor to use
that used to live in launch_editor(). The function returns NULL
if there is no suitable editor; the caller is expected to issue
an error message when appropriate.
launch_editor() uses git_editor() and gives the error message the
same way as before when EDITOR is not set.
"git var GIT_EDITOR" gives the editor name, or an error message
when there is no appropriate one.
"git var -l" gives GIT_EDITOR=name only if there is an
appropriate editor.
