3c2eb80fe3 stash: simplify defaulting to "save" and reject unknown options
With the earlier DWIM patches, certain combination of options defaulted
to the "save" command correctly while certain equally valid combination
did not.  For example, "git stash -k" were Ok but "git stash -q -k" did
not work.

This makes the logic of defaulting to "save" much simpler. If there are no
non-flag arguments, it is clear that there is no command word, and we
default to "save" subcommand.  This rule prevents "git stash -q apply"
from quietly creating a stash with "apply" as the message.

This also teaches "git stash save" to reject an unknown option.  This is
to keep a mistyped "git stash save --quite" from creating a stash with a
message "--quite", and this safety is more important with the new logic
to default to "save" with any option-looking argument without an explicit
comand word.

[jc: this is based on Matthieu's 3-patch series, and a follow-up
discussion, and he and Peff take all the credit; if I have introduced bugs
while reworking, they are mine.]

f7aec129fa UI consistency: allow --force for where -f means force
git branch, checkout, clean, mv and tag all have an option -f to override
certain checks.  This patch makes them accept the long option --force as
a synonym.

While we're at it, document that checkout support --quiet as synonym for
its short option -q.

11cae066b2 upload-pack: feed "kind [clone|fetch]" to post-upload-pack hook
A request to clone the repository does not give any "have" but asks for
all the refs we offer with "want".  When a request does not ask to clone
the repository fully, but asks to fetch some refs into an empty
repository, it will not give any "have" but its "want" won't ask for all
the refs we offer.

If we suppose (and I would say this is a rather big if) that it makes
sense to distinguish these two cases, a hook cannot reliably do this
alone.  The hook can detect lack of "have" and bunch of "want", but there
is no direct way to tell if the other end asked for all refs we offered,
or merely most of them.

Between the time we talked with the other end and the time the hook got
called, we may have acquired more refs or lost some refs in the repository
by concurrent operations.  Given that we plan to introduce selective
advertisement of refs with a protocol extension, it would become even more
difficult for hooks to guess between these two cases.

This adds "kind [clone|fetch]" to hook's input, as a stable interface to
allow the hooks to tell these cases apart.

a8563ec851 upload-pack: add a trigger for post-upload-pack hook
After upload-pack successfully finishes its operation, post-upload-pack
hook can be called for logging purposes.

The hook is passed various pieces of information, one per line, from its
standard input.  Currently the following items can be fed to the hook, but
more types of information may be added in the future:

    want SHA-1::
        40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to include in the
        resulting pack.  Can occur one or more times in the input.

    have SHA-1::
        40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to exclude from
        the resulting pack, claiming to have them already.  Can occur zero
        or more times in the input.

    time float::
        Number of seconds spent for creating the packfile.

    size decimal::
        Size of the resulting packfile in bytes.

Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the

external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full

e7fed18a89 git clone: Add --recursive to automatically checkout (nested) submodules
Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out
in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for
developers on such projects is:

	git clone url/to/project
	cd project
	git submodule update --init (--recursive)

This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new
option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all
submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence
can be reduced to:

	git clone --recursive url/to/project

--recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone.

The patch also includes documentation and a selftest.

13354f5377 docs: describe impact of repack on "clone -s"
The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:

  1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
     be shared.

  2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
     repo.

This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.

For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".

For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

dda1f2a5c3 Implement 'git stash save --patch'
This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash.  You can select hunks from
the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a
stash that reflects these changes.  The index state of the stash is
the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.

Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing
if you had also staged these changes.  This is not entirely
satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions
would require a change to the stash format.

4f353658b9 Implement 'git checkout --patch'
This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout.  In the index usage

  git checkout --patch -- [files...]

it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).

We also accept a revision argument.  In the case

  git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]

we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely.  In the non-HEAD usage

  git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]

it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>.  The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.

The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree).  If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

1c244f6ee5 git submodule summary: add --files option
git submodule summary is providing similar functionality for submodules as
git diff-index does for a git project (including the meaning of --cached).
But the analogon to git diff-files is missing, so add a --files option to
summarize the differences between the index of the super project and the
last commit checked out in the working tree of the submodule.

'git push' failing because of non-fast forward is a very common situation,
and a beginner does not necessarily understand "fast forward" immediately.

Add a new section to the git-push documentation and refer them to it.

57f6ec0290 Change mentions of "git programs" to "git commands"
Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what
the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them
as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are
implemented as separate programs, but in other contexts, it is better to
use the term "git commands" consistently.

1a3d834f06 git-rev-list.txt: Clarify the use of multiple revision arguments
If one thinks of a revision as the set of commits which can be reached
from the rev, and of ^rev as the complement, then multiple arguments to
git rev-list can be neither understood as the intersection nor the union
of the individual sets.

But set language is the natural as well as logical language in which to
phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using
set language.

5749b0b2f9 don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository.  However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt.  So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

6eb996b570 Add support for external programs for handling native fetches
transport_get() can call transport_native_helper_init() to have list and
fetch-ref operations handled by running a separate program as:

 git remote-<something> <remote> [<url>]

This program then accepts, on its stdin, "list" and "fetch <hex>
<name>" commands; the former prints out a list of available refs and
either their hashes or what they are symrefs to, while the latter
fetches them into the local object database and prints a newline when done.

2da846e709 Documentation: git-send-email: correct statement about standard ports
The current documentation states that servers typically listen on port
465 and calls this "ssmtp". While it's true that many mail servers use
port 465 for SSL smtp, this is non-standard, and hails from the days
before smtp and submission TLS support, that arrived in RFC2487 and
RFC3207. Port 465 is actually assigned by IANA for unrelated purposes,
and is mostly still used by mail servers today only to support Outlook
Express.

In any case, this patch helps the documentation better reflect both
standards and reality, while still helpfully mentioning ports numbers
that a user may wish to specify.

When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs.  This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure.  --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a
massive speedup.
