30eba7bf2c documentation: convert "diffcore" and "repository-layout" to man pages
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts
them to the man format:

diffcore.txt          -> gitdiffcore.txt		(man section 7)
repository-layout.txt -> gitrepository-layout.txt	(man section 5)

Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly.

497c83314c Documentation: convert "glossary" and "core-tutorial" to man pages
This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts
them to the man format:

core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt
glossary.txt      -> gitglossary.txt

But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new
gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual,
the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt"
new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the
gitglossary man page.

Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly
and sometimes improved a little too.

0454dd93bf Add support for GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.

For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds.  Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

@@ -149,7 +153,10 @@
 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

40dac517ee documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapter
The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures.  Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.

So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and
a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual.  It's
unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long
time, as some people may still depend on finding it there.  But I think
we'll want to do this some day anyway.

5587cac28b GIT 1.5.3.1: obsolete git-p4 in RPM spec file.
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.

"GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet
"git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing.  They

The GIT_SSH environment variable has survived for quite a while
without being documented, but has been mentioned on list and on
my day-job repositories can only be accessed via magic supplied
through the wonderous hack that is GIT_SSH.

Advertising it alongside other "low level magic" such as GIT_PAGER
and GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY will certainly help others who need to
spread their own pixie dust to make things work.

06f59e9f5d Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpful
This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch
whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes.
Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added
benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental
git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at
the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the
output to a downstream program.

This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or
if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0".  This latter can
speed up a command such as:

GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l

a tiny amount.

892c41b98a introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work tree
setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.

The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option).  Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.

setup_gdg does the following now:

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
    parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
    GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
    GIT_DIR is set to cwd
    see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
    also see the note below

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
    cwd is used as work tree

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
    the specified work tree is used

Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
    GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
    I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
    times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
    setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.

Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:

(1) is_bare_repository
    A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
    unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
    named .git).  The bare option disables a few protective
    checks which are useful with a working tree.  Currently
    this changes if a repository is bare:
        updates of HEAD are allowed
        git gc packs the refs
        the reflog is disabled by default

(2) is_inside_work_tree
    True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
    is one), false otherwise.

(3) is_inside_git_dir
    True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
    Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
    repositories.

When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called.  This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.

inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository.  The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

hopefully it doesn't do any actual damage.  And if we encourage people

30f610b7b0 Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations.
Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a
regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as:

 * pack-refs --prune
 * reflog expire
 * repack -a -d
 * prune
 * rerere gc

So here is a command which does exactly that.  The parameters fed
to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting
configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may
want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't
be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

23091e954c Documentation: revise top of git man page
I'm afraid I'll be accused of trying to suck all the jokes and the
personality out of the git documentation.  I'm not!  Really!

That said, "man git" is one of the first things a new user is likely try,
and it seems a little cruel to start off with a somewhat obscure joke
about the architecture of git.

So instead I'm trying for a relatively straightforward description of what
git does, and what features distinguish it from other systems, together
with immediate links to introductory documentation.

I also did some minor reorganization in an attempt to clarify the
classification of commands.  And revised a bit for conciseness (as is
obvious from the diffstat--hopefully I didn't cut anything important).

8389b52b2a git-rerere: reuse recorded resolve.
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.

9755afbd94 Documentation: not learning core git commands.
The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal
workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory
section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands"
section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts,
then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples
for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial.

Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too
technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader.

I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective
of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether,
but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of
sections that talk about refs and the object database in a
hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there.  I
feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract
without being aware of these directories and files.

Because we use "lost-found" as the directory name to hold
dangling object names, it is confusing to call the command
git-lost+found, although it makes sense and is even cute ;-).

git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.

f9253394a2 [PATCH] Add git-verify-pack command.
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the
index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency.

This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache
when the --full flag is used.

During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx
file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum
stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check.
We may further want to check the pack signature and version when
we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch.

Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led
to a random fatal error later.  This version explicitly die()s
when such an error is detected.
