This revamps the git-status command to take the same set of
parameters as git commit. It gives a preview of what is being
committed with that command. With -v flag, it shows the diff
output between the HEAD commit and the index that would be
committed if these flags were given to git-commit command.
git-commit also acquires -v flag (it used to mean "verify" but
that is the default anyway and there is --no-verify to turn it
off, so not much is lost), which uses the updated git-status -v
to seed the commit log buffer. This is handy for writing a log
message while reviewing the changes one last time.
Now, git-commit and git-status are internally share the same
implementation.
Unlike previous git-commit change, this uses a temporary index
to prepare the index file that would become the real index file
after a successful commit, and moves it to the real index file
once the commit is actually made. This makes it safer than the
previous scheme, which stashed away the original index file and
restored it after an aborted commit.

After experimenting with code to add the ability to encode a delta
against part of the deltified file, it turns out that resulting packs
are _bigger_ than when this ability is not used. The raw delta output
might be smaller, but it doesn't compress as well using gzip with a
negative net saving on average.
Said bit would in fact be more useful to allow for encoding the copying
of chunks larger than 64KB providing more savings with large files.
This will correspond to packs version 3.
While the current code still produces packs version 2, it is made future
proof so pack versions 2 and 3 are accepted. Any pack version 2 are
compatible with version 3 since the redefined bit was never used before.
When enough time has passed, code to use that bit to produce version 3
packs could be added.

Use stat() to explicitly check for existence rather than
relying on the non-portable EEXIST error in sha1_file.c's
safe_create_leading_directories(). There certainly are
optimizations possible, but then the code becomes almost
the same as that in coreutil's lib/mkdir-p.c.
Other uses of EEXIST seem ok. Tested on Solaris 8, AIX 5.2L,
and a few Linux versions. AIX has some unrelated (I think)
failures right now; I haven't tried many recent gits there.

This way, diff-files can make use of it. Also implement the
full suite of what diff_flush_raw() supports just for
consistency. With this, 'diff-tree -c -r --name-status' would
show what is expected.
There is no way to get the historical output (useful for
debugging and low-level Plumbing work) anymore, so tentatively
it makes '-m' to mean "do not combine and show individual diffs
with parents".
diff-files matches diff-tree to produce raw output for -c. For
textual combined diff, use -p -c.

NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges
are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics.
I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't
actually do that.
The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable
from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just
one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has <n> colons
for <n> parents.
So now, in the kernel, when you do
git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd
(to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you
get
cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd
::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287 arch/arm/Kconfig
ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes
followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by
result sha1).
Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output.
Cool/stupid exercise:
$ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort |
uniq -c | sort -n | less -S
will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict
resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.

Introduce --only flag to allow the new "partial commit"
semantics when paths are specified. The default is still the
traditional --include semantics. Once peoples' fingers and
scripts that want the traditional behaviour are updated to
explicitly say --include, we could change it to either default
to --only, or refuse to operate without either --only/--include
when paths are specified.
This also fixes a couple of bugs in the previous round. Namely:
- forgot to save/restore index in some cases.
- forgot to use the temporary index to show status when '--only
paths...' semantics was used.
- --author did not take precedence when reusing an existing
commit.

- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
behaviour. It commits the current index.
We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
subdirectory.
- "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
is equivalent to:
git update-index --remove paths...
git commit
- "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an
incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
have complained that it is confusing to them. It
1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
-i flag.
2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.
4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
temporary index.
5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
tree to the real index.
6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
new commit.
- "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
commit.
- In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following
sequence:
$ git diff
$ git commit -a
$ git diff
would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
making the commit log message empty.
This commit also introduces much requested --author option.
$ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>'

In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches,
the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over
and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged
to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream).
This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this
process by recording the conflicted automerge results and
corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge,
and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying
the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from

there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the
other.
So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into
pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk
of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from
urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without
making us duplicate too much.

Earlier, we made --base-path to automatically forbid

the use of user-relative paths independently. The latter form
of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each
user's home directory, similar to "public_html" some webservers
supports.
If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the
form git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/...,
where HOME is USER's home directory.
