.gitattributes and .gitignore share the same pattern syntax but has
separate matching implementation. Over the years, ignore's
implementation accumulates more optimizations while attr's stays the
same.
This patch reuses the core matching functions that are also used by
excluded_from_list. excluded_from_list and path_matches can't be
merged due to differences in exclude and attr, for example:
* "!pattern" syntax is forbidden in .gitattributes. As an attribute
can be unset (i.e. set to a special value "false") or made back to
unspecified (i.e. not even set to "false"), "!pattern attr" is unclear
which one it means.
* we support attaching attributes to directories, but git-core
internally does not currently make use of attributes on
directories.

When we added the "--perl-regexp" option (or "-P") to "git grep", we
should have done the same for the commands in the "git log" family,
but somehow we forgot to do so. This corrects it, but we will
reserve the short-and-sweet "-P" option for something else for now.
Also introduce the "--basic-regexp" option for completeness, so that
the "last one wins" principle can be used to defeat an earlier -E
option, e.g. "git log -E --basic-regexp --grep='<bre>'". Note that
it cannot have the short "-G" option as the option is to grep in the

"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This
was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work
tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of
the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the
submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a
different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as
that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository
instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the
wrong repository.
Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the
submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to
remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it
makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule
and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the
same reason).
To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of
the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the
call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already
know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with
this error:
fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory
This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule
without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history
contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the
user from possible loss of data.
But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git
directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory
which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work
tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so
let's teach git to do so.
Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from
the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory
is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index.
Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual
checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced).
For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the
index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't
ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed
expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed).
That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too.
Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees
top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the
repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a
message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or
even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this
change.

"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a
unspecified action word for 'status' action. This is a UI mistake
that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.
$ git submodule show
error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.
Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than
promoting laziness and confusion.

Finishing touch to update documentation of string-list to make sure
the earlier rewrite of ref-list match logic that depends on its sort
order will not get broken.
* mh/fetch-filter-refs:
string_list API: document what "sorted" means
After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the
usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch
refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will
end up grabbing all the other branches.
Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead
to correct this.
That means:
If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the
fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to.
If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch
specified in the "--branch" option.
If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all
refs of the cloned repository.
If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then
it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

Optimise the "merge-base" computation a bit, and also update its
users that do not need the full merge-base information to call a
cheaper subset.
* jc/merge-bases:
reduce_heads(): reimplement on top of remove_redundant()
merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B"
get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel
in_merge_bases(): use paint_down_to_common()
merge_bases_many(): split out the logic to paint history
in_merge_bases(): omit unnecessary redundant common ancestor reduction
http-push: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
in_merge_bases(): support only one "other" commit
We will wait for a handful of other fixes that have graduated to the
'master' for 1.8.0 to be tested in the wild and then tag 1.7.12.1:

* jk/check-docs-update:
check-docs: get documented command list from Makefile
check-docs: drop git-help special-case
check-docs: list git-gui as a command
check-docs: factor out command-list
command-list: mention git-credential-* helpers
command-list: add git-sh-i18n
check-docs: update non-command documentation list
check-docs: mention gitweb specially
"git branch --set-upstream origin/master" is a common mistake to
create a local branch 'origin/master' and set it to integrate with
the current branch. With a plan to deprecate this option, introduce
"git branch (-u|--set-upstream-to) origin/master" that sets the
current branch to integrate with 'origin/master' remote tracking
branch.
* cn/branch-set-upstream-to:
branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect possible mistaken use
branch: add --unset-upstream option
branch: introduce --set-upstream-to
"git cherry-pick A C B" used to replay changes in A and then B and
then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that
order, which is not what the user who said "A C B" naturally expects.
* mz/cherry-pick-cmdline-order:
cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pick
demonstrate broken 'git cherry-pick three one two'
teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting
* maint-1.7.11:
Almost 1.7.11.6
gitweb: URL-decode $my_url/$my_uri when stripping PATH_INFO
rebase -i: use full onto sha1 in reflog
sh-setup: protect from exported IFS
receive-pack: do not leak output from auto-gc to standard output
t/t5400: demonstrate breakage caused by informational message from prune
setup: clarify error messages for file/revisions ambiguity
send-email: improve RFC2047 quote parsing
fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entries
do not write null sha1s to on-disk index
diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
People who are not used to working with shell may intellectually
understand how the command line argument is massaged by the shell
but still have a hard time visualizing the difference between
letting the shell expand fileglobs and having Git see the fileglob
to use as a pathspec.

The paragraph to encourage use of "--" in scripts belongs to the
bullet point that describes the behaviour for a command line without
the explicit "--" disambiguation; it is not a supporting explanation
for the entire bulletted list, and it is wrong to make it a separate
paragraph outside the list.

The built-in "binary" attribute macro expands to "-diff -text", so
that textual diff is not produced, and the contents will not go
through any CR/LF conversion ever. During a merge, it should also
choose the "binary" low-level merge driver, but it didn't.
Make it expand to "-diff -merge -text".

The (discouraged) -Xours/-Xtheirs modes of merge are supposed to
give a quick and dirty way to come up with a random mixture of
cleanly merged parts and punted conflict resolution to take contents
from one side in conflicting parts. These options however were only
passed down to the low level merge driver for text.
Teach the built-in binary merge driver to notice them as well.

Output from "git branch -v" contains "(no branch)" that could be
localized, but the code to align it along with the names of branches
were counting in bytes, not in display columns.
* nd/branch-v-alignment:
branch -v: align even when branch names are in UTF-8
The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the branch
name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the option
description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the documentation
misleading. There may be room in documentation pages of other
commands for similar improvements.
* jc/maint-doc-checkout-b-always-takes-branch-name:
doc: "git checkout -b/-B/--orphan" always takes a branch name
"git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path when
there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line. Update the
command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such a case.
* jc/dotdot-is-parent-directory:
specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty set
