01b89f0cd5 gitweb: pull ref markes pull out of subject <a> element
Since 4afbaef (gitweb: ref markers link to named shortlogs, 2008-09-02),
ref markers that accompany the subject in views such as shortlog and
history point to something different from the subject itself. Therefore,
they should not be included in the same <a> element.

Benefits of the change are:

 * better compliance to the XHTML standards, that forbid links within
   links even though the restriction cannot be imposed via DTD; this also
   benefits visualization in some older browsers;

 * when hovering the subject, only the subject itself is underlined; when
   hovering the ref markers, only the text in the hovered ref marker is
   underlined; previously, hovering any written part of the subject column
   led to complete underlying of everything at the same time, with
   unpleasing effects.

3b5ef0e216 xutils: Fix xdl_recmatch() on incomplete lines
Thell Fowler noticed that various "ignore whitespace" options to git diff
do not work well on an incomplete line.

The loop control of the function responsible for these bugs was extremely
difficult to follow.  This patch restructures the loops for three variants
of "ignore whitespace" logic.

The basic idea of the re-written logic is:

 - A loop runs while the characters from both strings we are looking at
   match.  We declare unmatch immediately when we find something that does
   not match and return false from the function.  We break out of the loop
   if we ran out of either side of the string.

   The way we skip spaces inside this loop varies depending on the style
   of ignoring whitespaces.

 - After the above loop breaks, we know that the parts of the strings we
   inspected so far match, ignoring the whitespaces.  The lines can match
   only if the remainder consists of nothing but whitespaces.  This part
   of the logic is shared across all three styles.

The new code is more obvious and should be much easier to follow.

78ed710fcf xutils: Fix hashing an incomplete line with whitespaces at the end
Upon seeing a whitespace, xdl_hash_record_with_whitespace() first skipped
the run of whitespaces (excluding LF) that begins there, ensuring that the
pointer points at the last whitespace character in the run, and assumed
that the next character must be LF at the end of the line.  This does not
work when hashing an incomplete line, which lacks the LF at the end.

Introduce "at_eol" variable that is true when either we are at the end of
line (looking at LF) or at the end of an incomplete line, and use that
instead throughout the code.

Noticed by Thell Fowler.

36e4986f26 Further 'approxidate' improvements
The previous patch to improve approxidate got us to the point that a lot
of the remaining annoyances were due to the 'strict' date handling running
first, and deciding that it got a good enough date that the approximate
date routines were never even invoked.

For example, using a date string like

	6AM, June 7, 2009

the strict date logic would be perfectly happy with the "June 7, 2009"
part, and ignore the 6AM part that it didn't understand - resulting in the
information getting dropped on the floor:

	6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sat Jun 6 00:00:00 2009

and the date being calculated as if it was midnight, and the '6AM' having
confused the date routines into thinking about '6 June' rather than 'June
7' at 6AM (ie notice how the _day_ was wrong due to this, not just the
time).

So this makes the strict date routines a bit stricter, and requires that
not just the date, but also the time, has actually been parsed. With that
fix, and trivial extension of the approxidate routines, git now properly
parses the date as

	6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sun Jun  7 06:00:00 2009

without dropping the fuzzy time ("6AM" or "noon" or any of the other
non-strict time formats) on the floor.

9029055207 Improve on 'approxidate'
This is not a new failure mode - approxidate has always been kind of
random in the input it accepts, but some of the randomness is more
irritating than others.

For example:

	Jun 6, 5AM -> Mon Jun 22 05:00:00 2009
	5AM Jun 6 -> Sat Jun  6 05:00:00 2009

Whaa? The reason for the above is that approxidate squirrells away the '6'
from "Jun 6" to see if it's going to be a relative number, and then
forgets about it when it sees a new number (the '5' in '5AM'). So the odd
"June 22" date is because today is July 22nd, and if it doesn't have
another day of the month, it will just pick todays mday - having ignored
the '6' entirely due to getting all excited about seeing a new number (5).

There are other oddnesses. This does not fix them all, but I think it
makes for fewer _really_ perplexing cases. At least now we have

	Jun 6, 5AM -> Sat Jun  6 05:00:00 2009
	5AM, Jun 6 -> Sat Jun  6 05:00:00 2009

which makes me happier. I can still point to cases that don't work as
well, but those are separate issues.

3deffc52d8 reset: make the reminder output consistent with "checkout"
git reset without argument displays a summary of the local modification,
like this:

Some people have problems with this; they look like an error message.

This patch makes its output mimic how "git checkout $another_branch"

is changed in the same way.

It also adds a header to make it clear that the output is informative,

beb5af43a6 graph API: fix bug in graph_is_interesting()
Previously, graph_is_interesting() did not behave quite the same way as
the code in get_revision().  As a result, it would sometimes think
commits were uninteresting, even though get_revision() would return
them.  This resulted in incorrect lines in the graph output.

This change creates a get_commit_action() function, which
graph_is_interesting() and simplify_commit() both now use to determine
if a commit will be shown.  It is identical to the old simplify_commit()
behavior, except that it never calls rewrite_parents().

This problem was reported by Santi Béjar.  The following command
would exhibit the problem before, but now works correctly:

  git log --graph --simplify-by-decoration --oneline v1.6.3.3

Previously git graph did not display the output for this command
correctly between f29ac4f and 66996ec, among other places.

e7fed18a89 git clone: Add --recursive to automatically checkout (nested) submodules
Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out
in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for
developers on such projects is:

	git clone url/to/project
	cd project
	git submodule update --init (--recursive)

This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new
option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all
submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence
can be reduced to:

	git clone --recursive url/to/project

--recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone.

The patch also includes documentation and a selftest.

5268f9edc3 svn: assume URLs from the command-line are URI-encoded
And then unescape them when writing to $GIT_CONFIG.

SVN has different rules for repository URLs (usually the root)
and for paths within that repository (below the HTTP layer).
Thus, for the request URI path at the HTTP level, the URI needs
to be encoded.  However, in the body of the HTTP request (the
with underlying SVN XML protocol), those paths should not be
URI-encoded[1].  For non-HTTP(S) requests, SVN appears to be
more flexible and will except weird characters in the URL as
well as URI-encoded ones.

Since users are used to using URLs being entirely URI-encoded,
git svn will now attempt to unescape the path portion of URLs
while leaving the actual repository URL untouched.

This change will be reflected in newly-created $GIT_CONFIG files
only.  This allows users to switch between svn(+ssh)://, file://
and http(s):// urls without changing the fetch/branches/tags
config keys.  This won't affect existing imports at all (since
things didn't work before this commit anyways), and will allow
users to force escaping into repository paths that look like
they're escaped (but are not).

Thanks to Mike Smullin for the original bug report and Björn
Steinbrink for summarizing it into testable cases for me.

800324c3ad http.c: don't assume that urls don't end with slash
Make append_remote_object_url() (and by implication,
get_remote_object_url) use end_url_with_slash() to ensure that the url

Previously, they assumed that the url did not end with a slash and
as a result appended a slash, sometimes errorneously.

This fixes an issue introduced in 5424bc5 ("http*: add helper methods
for fetching objects (loose)"), where the append_remote_object_url()
implementation in http-push.c, which assumed that urls end with a
slash, was replaced by another one in http.c, which assumed urls did
not end with a slash.

The above issue was raised by Thomas Schlichter:

This is a 64-bit value, hence having it first provides a better
alignment.

b8f423327b filter-branch: add an example how to add ACKs to a range of commits
When you have to add certain lines like ACKs (or for that matter,
Signed-off-by:s) to a range of commits starting with HEAD, you might
be tempted to use 'git rebase -i -10', but that is a waste of your
time.

It is better to use 'git filter-branch' with an appropriate message
filter, and this commit adds an example how to do so to
filter-branch's man page.

da02ca508b check_path(): allow symlinked directories to checkout-index --prefix
Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly
removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading
path that is a symlink.  It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was
broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked
symlinks, 2009-07-29).

I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter
(prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire
a similar function has_dirs_only_path().

Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and
base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index"
when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there.  It
might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir
feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know.

But at least this patch should fix this breakage.

db137fe91e read-tree: Fix regression with creation of a new index file.
Reading the index into an empty file has been broken by
5a56da5806, since it causes the existing
index to always be loaded first, and dies if it's an empty file:

$ GIT_INDEX_FILE=`mktemp` git read-tree master
fatal: index file smaller than expected

It breaks for instance committing from git.el. This patch reverts to the
previous behavior of only loading the index when merging it.

13354f5377 docs: describe impact of repack on "clone -s"
The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:

  1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
     be shared.

  2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
     repo.

This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.

For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".

For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.
