Include a git-push example for creating a remote branch
Cleanup unnecessary file modifications in t1400-update-ref
Makefile: Add cache-tree.h to the headers list
Don't allow contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir to trash existing dirs
git-apply: do not read past the end of buffer
Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works
when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused
when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create
the branch foo.
This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/
in front of the desired branch name to create a branch.

Allows username and password to be given using --smtp-user
and --smtp-pass. SSL use is flagged by --smtp-ssl. These are
backed by corresponding defaults in the git configuration file.
This implements Junio's 'mail identity' suggestion in a slightly
more generalised manner. --identity=$identity, backed by
sendemail.identity indicates that the configuration subsection
[sendemail "$identity"] should take priority over the [sendemail]
section for all configuration values.

HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out
that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not
realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it.
David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new
RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try.

The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.
This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.
By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.
The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits
(such as temporary commits). It does _not_ undo the changeset
corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision. IOW
no tree object is changed by this.
If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all
intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can
now do this with
git filter-branch --commit-filter '
if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null;
then
skip_commit "$@";
else
git commit-tree "$@";
fi' newbranch

Move the convenience functions to the top of git-filter-branch.sh, and
return from the script when the environment variable SOURCE_FUNCTIONS is
set.
By sourcing git-filter-branch with that variable set automatically, all
commit filters may access the convenience functions like "map".

Some time ago, filter-branch's syntax changed so that more than one
ref can be rewritten at the same time. This involved the removal of
the ref name for the result; instead, the refs are rewritten in-place.
This updates the last leftovers in the documentation to reflect the
new behavior.

Jari Aalto noticed a handful places in git-daemon documentation
that need to be improved.
* --inetd makes --pid-file to be ignored, in addition to --user
and --group
* receive-pack service was not described at all. We should, if
only to warn about the security implications of it.
* There was no example of per repository configuration.

We used to trigger the special case "things not in origin"
semantics only when one and only one positive ref is given, and
no number (e.g. "git format-patch -4 origin") was specified, and
used the general revision range semantics for everything else.
This narrows the special case a bit more, by making:
git format-patch --root this_version
to show everything that leads to the named commit.
More importantly, document the two different semantics better.
The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on
without being clearly documented.

"GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet
"git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing. They
both ignored git-dir specified, and instead made $cwd as GIT_DIR.
This changes --bare not to override existing GIT_DIR.
This has been like this for a long time. Let's hope nobody sane
relied on this insane behaviour.

The immediate motivation for writing this section was to explain the
various places ignore patterns could be used. However, I still think
.gitignore is the case most people will want to learn about first. It
also makes it a bit more concrete to introduce ignore patterns in the
context of .gitignore first. And the existance of gitignore(5) relieves
the pressure to explain it all here.
So, stick to the .gitignore example, with only a brief mention of the
others, explain the syntax only by example, and leave the rest to
gitignore(5).
