3f14246899 commit: suggest --amend --reset-author to fix commiter identity
Since the message advises to fix the configuration first, the
advantage of using this command is that it is cut-and-paste ready,
while using --author='...' requires the user to type his name and
email again.

4c28e4ada0 commit: die before asking to edit the log message
When determine_author_info() returns to the calling prepare_to_commit(),
we already know the pieces of information necessary to determine what
author ident will be used in the final message, but deferred making a call
to fmt_ident() before the final commit_tree().  Most importantly, we would
open the editor to ask the user to compose the log message before it.

As one important side effect of fmt_ident() is to error out when the given
information is malformed, this resulted in us spawning the editor first
and then refusing to commit due to error, even though we had enough
information to detect the error before starting the editor, which was
annoying.

Move the fmt_ident() call to the end of determine_author_info() where we
have final determination of author info to rectify this.

89ac1223c0 commit: --squash option for use with rebase --autosquash
This option makes it convenient to construct commit messages for use
with 'rebase --autosquash'.  The resulting commit message will be
"squash! ..." where "..." is the subject line of the specified commit
message.  This option can be used with other commit message options
such as -m, -c, -C and -F.

If an editor is invoked (as with -c or -eF or no message options) the
commit message is seeded with the correctly formatted subject line.

Example usage:
  $ git commit --squash HEAD~2
  $ git commit --squash HEAD~2 -m "clever comment"
  $ git commit --squash HEAD~2 -F msgfile
  $ git commit --squash HEAD~2 -C deadbeef

302ad7a993 Submodules: Use "ignore" settings from .gitmodules too for diff and status
The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries
before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config
will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer
to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream
set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

v1.7.1.1~17^2~3 (2010-05-03) taught the log --format=%h machinery
to respect --abbrev instead of always abbreviating, so we have to pay

46a958b3da Add the option "--ignore-submodules" to "git status"
In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.

Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before
1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for
submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users
having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option,
as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work
tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter.

And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that
by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config
option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the
output of the submodule summary).

A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this
option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already
knew it.

f197ed2fbe commit: give advice on empty amend
We generally disallow empty commits with "git commit". The
output produced by the wt_status functions is generally
sufficient to explain what happened.

With --amend commits, however, things are a little more
confusing. We would create an empty commit not if you
actually have staged changes _now_, but if your staged
changes match HEAD^. In this case, it is not immediately
obvious why "git commit" claims no changes, but "git status"
does not. Furthermore, we should point the user in the
direction of git reset, which would eliminate the empty
commit entirely.

4b05548fc0 enums: omit trailing comma for portability
Without this patch at least IBM VisualAge C 5.0 (I have 5.0.2) on AIX
5.1 fails to compile git.

enum style is inconsistent already, with some enums declared on one
line, some over 3 lines with the enum values all on the middle line,
sometimes with 1 enum value per line... and independently of that the
trailing comma is sometimes present and other times absent, often
mixing with/without trailing comma styles in a single file, and
sometimes in consecutive enum declarations.

Clearly, omitting the comma is the more portable style, and this patch
changes all enum declarations to use the portable omitted dangling
comma style consistently.

Unfortunately, there are still plenty of production systems with
vendor compilers that choke unless all compound declarations can be
determined statically at compile time, for example hpux10.20 (I can
provide a comprehensive list of our supported platforms that exhibit
this problem if necessary).

This patch simply breaks apart any compound declarations with dynamic
initialisation expressions, and moves the initialisation until after
the last declaration in the same block, in all the places necessary to
have the offending compilers accept the code.

fb7749e4e4 commit --amend: cope with missing display name
Though I have not seen this in the wild, it has been said that there
are likely to be git repositories converted from other version control
systems with an invalid ident line like this one:

  author <user@example.com> 18746342 +0000

Because there is no space between the (empty) user name and the email
address, commit --amend chokes.  When searching for a
space-left-bracket sequence on the ident line, it finds it in the
committer line, ending up utterly confused.

Better for commit --amend to treat this like a valid ident line with
empty username and complain.

The tests remove the questionable commit objects after use so there is
no chance for them to confuse later tests.

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.
