40d52ff77b make commit_tree a library function
Until now, this has been part of the commit-tree builtin.
However, it is already used by other builtins (like commit,
merge, and notes), and it would be useful to access it from
library code.

The check_valid helper has to come along, too, but is given
a more library-ish name of "assert_sha1_type".

Otherwise, the code is unchanged. There are still a few
rough edges for a library function, like printing the utf8
warning to stderr, but we can address those if and when they
come up as inappropriate.

91e5259896 revert: add "--strategy" option to choose merge strategy
This patch makes it possible to use a different merge strategy when
cherry-picking. This is usefull mainly for debugging purposes as it
allows to see if some failures are caused by the merge strategy used or
not.

3f9083cde3 merge: refactor code that calls "git merge-STRATEGY"
In the try_merge_strategy() function, when the strategy is "recursive"
or "subtree", the merge_recursive() function is called.
Otherwise we launch a "git merge-STRATEGY" process.

To make it possible to reuse code that launches a "git merge-STRATEGY"
process, this patch refactors this code into a new try_merge_command()
function.

766ac6a6ba clone: pass the remote name to remote_get
Currently when using a remote helper to clone a repository, the
remote helper will be passed the url of the target repository as
first argument (which represents the name of the remote). This name
is extracted from transport->remote->name, which is set by
builtin/clone.c when it calls remote_get with argv[0] as argument.

Fix this by passing the name remote will be set up as instead.

However, setup_reference calls remote_get before the remote is
added to the config file. This will result in an improperly
configured remote (in memory) if later on remote_get is called
with an argument that is not equal to the initial remote_get call
in setup_reference. Fix this by delaying the remote_get call until
after the remote has been added to the config file.

This patch introduces the remove_or_warn function which is a
generalised version of the {unlink,rmdir}_or_warn functions.  It takes
an additional parameter indicating the mode of the file to be removed.

The patch also modifies certain functions to use remove_or_warn
where appropriate, and adds a test case for a bug fixed by the use
of remove_or_warn.

9db5ebf402 git checkout: create unparented branch by --orphan
Similar to -b, --orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any
commit.  After running "git checkout --orphan newbranch", you are on a
new branch "newbranch", and the first commit you create from this state
will start a new history without any ancestry.

"git checkout --orphan" keeps the index and the working tree files
intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose
trees resemble the ones from the original branch.

When creating a branch whose trees have no resemblance to the ones from
the original branch, it may be easier to start work on the new branch by
untracking and removing all working tree files that came from the
original branch, by running a 'git rm -rf .' immediately after running
"checkout --orphan".

bf975d379d cherry-pick, revert: add a label for ancestor
When writing conflict hunks in ‘diff3 -m’ format, also add a label to
the common ancestor.  Especially in a cherry-pick, it is not immediately
obvious without such a label what the common ancestor represents.

git rerere does not have trouble parsing the new output and its preimage
ids are unchanged since it includes its own code for recreating conflict
hunks.  No other code in git parses conflict hunks.

d68565402a revert: clarify label on conflict hunks
When reverting a commit, the commit being merged is not the commit
to revert itself but its parent.  Add “parent of” to the conflict
hunk label to make this more clear.

The conflict hunk labels are all pieces of a single string written in
the new get_message() function.  Avoid some complication by using
mempcpy to advance a pointer as the result is written.

Also free the corresponding temporary buffer (it was leaked before).
This is not important because it is a small one-time allocation.  It
would become a memory leak if unnoticed when libifying revert.

This patch uses calls to strlen() instead of integer constants in some
places.  GCC will compute the length at compile time; I am not sure
about other compilers, but this is not performance-critical anyway.

c4151629e7 checkout -m --conflict=diff3: add a label for ancestor
git checkout --merge --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflict
hunks including text from the common ancestor.  The added information
is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and merge tools tend to
understand it because it is very similar to what ‘diff3 -m’ produces.

Unlike current git, diff3 -m includes a label for the merge base on
the ||||||| line, and unfortunately, some tools cannot parse the
conflict hunks without it.  Humans can benefit from a cue when
learning to interpreting the format, too.  Mark the start of the text
from the old branch with a label based on the branch’s name.

git rerere does not have trouble parsing this output and its preimage
ids are unchanged since it includes its own code for recreating
conflict hunks.  No other code in git tries to parse conflict hunks.

f0531a2937 checkout --conflict=diff3: add a label for ancestor
git checkout --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflicts hunks
including text from the common ancestor:

	<<<<<<< ours
	ourside
	|||||||
	original
	=======
	theirside
	>>>>>>> theirs

The added information is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and
merge tools can usually understand it without trouble because it looks
like output from ‘diff3 -m’.

diff3 includes a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line, and it
seems some tools (for example, Emacs 22’s smerge-mode) cannot parse
conflict hunks without such a label.  Humans could use help in
interpreting the output, too.  So change the marker for the start of the
text from the common ancestor to include the label “base”.

git rerere’s conflict identifiers are not affected: to parse conflict
hunks, rerere looks for whitespace after the ||||||| marker rather
than a newline, and to compute preimage ids, rerere has its own code
for creating conflict hunks.  No other code in git tries to parse
conflict hunks.

f01de62e45 ll_merge(): add ancestor label parameter for diff3-style output
Commands using the ll_merge() function will present conflict hunks
imitating ‘diff3 -m’ output if the merge.conflictstyle configuration
option is set appropriately.  Unlike ‘diff3 -m’, the output does not
include a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line of the output,
and some tools misparse the conflict hunks without that.

Add a new ancestor_label parameter to ll_merge() to give callers the
power to rectify this situation.  If ancestor_label is NULL, the output
format is unchanged.  All callers pass NULL for now.

git merge-file --diff3 can be used to present conflicts hunks

The added information is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and
merge tools can usually grok it because it looks like output from
diff3 -m.  However, ‘diff3’ includes a label for the merge base on the

the ancestor file by default) on that line.

git rerere will not have trouble parsing this output, since instead of
looking for a newline, it looks for whitespace after the |||||||
marker.  Since rerere includes its own code for recreating conflict

a4b5e91c49 xdl_merge(): move file1 and file2 labels to xmparam structure
The labels for the three participants in a potential conflict are all
optional arguments for the xdiff merge routine; if they are NULL, then
xdl_merge() can cope by omitting the labels from its output.  Move
them to the xmparam structure to allow new callers to save some
keystrokes where they are not needed.

This also has the virtue of making the xdiff merge interface more
similar to merge_trees, which might make it easier to learn.

431d6e7bc8 grep: enable threading for context line printing
If context lines are to be printed, grep separates them with hunk marks
("--\n").  These marks are printed between matches from different files,
too.  They are not printed before the first file, though.

Threading was disabled when context line printing was enabled because
avoiding to print the mark before the first line was an unsolved
synchronisation problem.  This patch separates the code for printing
hunk marks for the threaded and the unthreaded case, allowing threading
to be turned on together with the common -ABC options.

->show_hunk_mark, which controls printing of hunk marks between files in
show_line(), is now set in grep_buffer_1(), but only if some results
have already been printed and threading is disabled.  The threaded case
is handled in work_done().

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
