5b56aaa29e send-email: teach sanitize_address to do rfc2047 quoting
Without this patch I'm not able to properly send emails as I have a
non-ascii character in my name.

I removed the _rfc822 suffix from the function name as it now does more
than rfc822 quoting.

I dug through rfc822 to do the double quoting right.  Only if that is not
possible rfc2047 quoting is applied.

cad3a2056d pager: find out pager setting from configuration
It was very unfortunate that we added core.pager setting to the
configuration file; even when the underlying command does not care
if there is no git repository is involved (think "git diff --no-index"),
the user would now rightfully want the configuration setting to be
honored, which means we would need to read the configuration file before
we launch the pager.

This is a minimum change in the sense that it restores the old
behaviour of not even reading config in setup_git_directory(),
but have the core.pager honored when we know it matters.

Note that this does not cover "git -p --git-dir where command";
the -p option immediately trigger the pager settings before we
even see --git-dir to learn where the configuration file is, so
we will end up reading the configuration from the place where
we would _normally_ find the git repository.

33a798c880 setup.c:verify_non_filename(): don't die unnecessarily while disambiguating
If you have a working tree _file_ "foo", attempt to refer to a
branch "foo/bar" without -- to disambiguate, like this:

	$ git log foo/bar

tried to make sure that foo/bar cannot be naming a working tree
file "foo/bar" (in which case we would say "which one do you
want?  A rev or a working tree file?  clarify with -- please").
We run lstat("foo/bar") to check that.  If it does not succeed,
there is no ambiguity.

That is good.  But we also checked the error status for the
lstat() and expected it to fail with ENOENT.  In this particular
case, however, it fails with ENOTDIR.  That should be treated as
"expected error" as well.

As with git-add, I think previous updates to the git-commit man page did
indeed help make it more user-friendly.  But I think the banishment of

5f42ac921f documentation: use the word "index" in the git-add manual page
It was a neat trick to show that you could introduce the git-add manual
page without using the word "index", and it was certainly an improvement
over the previous man page (which started out "A simple wrapper for
git-update-index to add files to the index...").

But it's possible to use the standard terminology without sacrificing
user-friendliness.  So, rewrite to use the word "index" when
appropriate.

407c0c87e1 user-manual: mention git-gui
The git gui project seems to be still in early stages, but at a point
where it's worth mentioning as an alternative way of creating commits.

One feature of interest is the ability to manipulate individual diff
hunks.  However, people have found that feature not to be easily

936492d3cf unpack-trees.c: assume submodules are clean during check-out
Sven originally raised this issue:

    If you have a submodule checked out and you go back (or
    forward) to a revision of the supermodule that contains a
    different revision of the submodule and then switch to
    another revision, it will complain that the submodule is not
    uptodate, because git simply didn't update the submodule in
    the first move.

The current policy is to consider it is perfectly normal that
checked-out submodule is out-of-sync wrt the supermodule index.
At least until we introduce a superproject repository
configuration option that says "in this repository, I do care
about this submodule and at any time I move around in the
superproject, recursively check out the submodule to match", it
is a reasonable policy, as we currently do not recursively
checkout the submodules at all.  The most extreme case of this
policy is that the superproject index knows about the submodule
but the subdirectory does not even have to be checked out.

The function verify_uptodate(), called during the two-way merge
aka branch switching, is about "make sure the filesystem entity
that corresponds to this cache entry is up to date, lest we lose
the local modifications".  As we explicitly allow submodule
checkout to drift from the supermodule index entry, the check
should say "Ok, for submodules, not matching is the norm" for
now.

Later when we have the ability to mark "I care about this
submodule to be always in sync with the superproject" (thereby
implementing automatic recursive checkout and perhaps diff,
among other things), we should check if the submodule in
question is marked as such and perform the current test.

d20602eec9 gitweb: do not choke on recursive symlink
If somebody used to advertise his repository that physically
resides at /pub/lic.git/ as:

	git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/

but now wants to use --base-path to allow:

	git://git.example.com/lic.git/

she can start git-daemon with --base-path option, like this:

	git-daemon --base-path=/pub --export-all

During the transition, however, she would also want to allow
older URL as well.  One natural way to achieve that is to create
a symlink:

	ln -s /pub /pub/pub

so that a request to git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/ is first
translated by --base-path to a request to /pub/pub/lic.git/
which goes to /pub/lic.git, thanks to the symlink.

So far so good.

However, gitweb chokes if there is such a symlink (File::Find
barfs with "/pub/pub is a recursive symbolic link").  Make the
code ignore such a symlink.

3d5c418ff5 git-clone: aggressively optimize local clone behaviour.
This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the
local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share
files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op.  A new
option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy
of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal
"pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer
overhead.  The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s
is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly
introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as
network" cloning).

 * With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via
   cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and
   also risks corrupted recipient repository if an
   alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving
   deltas.  As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you
   have a good back-up.

 * same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage
   of the source repository.  It still risks corrupted recipient
   repository due to hardware failure.  As long as the recipient
   is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up.

 * The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source
   repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient
   would be, too.  Also it is very cheap.  You do not get any
   back-up benefit, though.

None of the method is resilient against the source repository
corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison.  Then
the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily
if you value the back-up benefit or not.  If you want to use the
cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone
with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone,
recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as
you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so
paranoid anyway.

Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is
probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of
little practical value.  We default to hardlinked clone for
everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to
make a back-up.

08874658b4 git-sh-setup.sh: make GIT_EDITOR/core.editor/VISUAL/EDITOR accept commands
The previous code only allowed specifying a single executable rather
than a complete command like "emacsclient --alternate-editor vi" in
those variables.  Since VISUAL/EDITOR appear to be traditionally
passed to a shell for interpretation (as corroborated with "less",
"mail" and "mailx", while the really ancient "more" indeed allows only
an executable name), the shell function git_editor has been amended
appropriately.

"eval" is employed to have quotes and similar interpreted _after_
expansion, so that specifying
EDITOR='"/home/dak/My Commands/notepad.exe"'
can be used for actually using commands with blanks.

Instead of passing just the first argument of git_editor on, we pass
all of them (so that +lineno might be employed at a later point of
time, or so that multiple files may be edited when appropriate).

Strictly speaking, there is a change in behavior: when
git config core.editor
returns a valid but empty string, the fallbacks are still searched.
This is more consistent, and the old code was problematic with regard
to multiple blanks.  Putting in additional quotes might have worked,
but quotes inside of command substitution inside of quotes is nasty
enough to not reliably work the same across "Bourne shells".

420acb31ac get_relative_cwd(): clarify why it handles dir == NULL

Clarify, and remove stale comment about the caller being lazy.
The behaviour on NULL input is pretty much intentional.
