af9b54bb2c Use $Id$ as the ident attribute keyword rather than $ident$ to be consistent with other VCSs
$Id$ is present already in SVN and CVS; it would mean that people
converting their existing repositories won't have to make any changes to
the source files should they want to make use of the ident attribute.

Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it
seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it.

I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;
monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist.  I can't think of a good reason not
to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of
$ident$.

git-applymbox and git-mailinfo refer to a --mbox option of
git-format-patch when talking about their -k options. But there
is no such option.  What -k does to the former two commands is
to keep the Subject: lines unmunged, meant to be used on output

git-diff-tree(1).  Those manpages now include pretty options in the

all options.

0d7566a5ba Add --aggressive option to 'git gc'
This option causes 'git gc' to more aggressively optimize the
repository at the cost of taking much more wall clock and CPU time.

Today this option causes git-pack-objects to use --no-use-delta
option, and it allows the --window parameter to be set via the
gc.aggressiveWindow configuration parameter.

960ccca680 Custom compression levels for objects and packs
Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.

Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.  This is the "pack compression level".

Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules,  or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true.  Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.

Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes,  since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.

In either case,  the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level,  instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.

This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre:
[PATCH] allow for undeltified objects not to be reused
[PATCH] make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"

726f852b0e deprecate the new loose object header format
Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.

Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.

This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

fa736f72b0 allow for undeltified objects not to be reused
Currently non deltified object data is always reused when possible.
This means that any change to core.compression has no effect on those
objects as they don't get recompressed when repacking them.

Let's add a --no-reuse-object flag to git-repack in order to force
recompression of all objects when desired.

171af11082 Add --no-rebase option to git-svn dcommit
git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back
to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the
last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when
using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by
StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this
behavior. And document it, too!

aa4ed402c9 Add 'filter' attribute and external filter driver definition.
The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers.

First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*'
variables in the configuration.

	filter.<name>.clean	filter command to run upon checkin
	filter.<name>.smudge	filter command to run upon checkout

Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name
matches the custom filter driver's name.

Example:

	(in .gitattributes)
	*.c	filter=indent

	(in config)
	[filter "indent"]
		clean = indent
		smudge = cat

3fed15f568 Add 'ident' conversion.
The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes
except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it
to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout.

As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths,
clarify how they interact with each other.

c91ee2714e Fix unmatched emphasis tag in git-tutorial
In asciidoc 7.1.2 and prior there is no obvious way to get:

'add'ing

to emphasize only the "add", instead it treats the first apostrophe as the
beginning of an emphasis, and the second apostrophe as a regular
apostrophe and makes the rest of the line an emphasis since there is no
closing apostrophe.  In the newer asciidoc you can do it pretty easily
with __add__ing but I'm not sure it would be best to make that a prereq
for something as silly as this.

First use [verse] in the SYNOPSIS so that the line break actually

Secondly drop the quotes around '.mailmap' since this exposes
a bug in our toolchain (didn't bother enough yet to find out wether
it is asciidoc's fault or that of the XSL templates) that leads to
the dot not getting escaped correctly in the roff output and thereby
swallowing the line.

b2475703d8 cvsserver: Document the GIT branches -> CVS modules mapping more prominently
Add a note about the branches -> modules mapping to LIMITATIONS because
I really think it should be noted there and not just at the end of
the installation step-by-step HOWTO.

I used "git branches" there and changed "heads" to "branches" in
my section about database configuration. I'm reluctant to replace
all occourences of "head" with "branch" though because you always
have to say "git branch" because CVS also has the concept of
branches. You can say "head" though, because there is no such
concept in CVS. In all the existing occourences of head other than
the one I changed I think "head" flows better in the text.

2d9e4a47d1 Add custom subject prefix support to format-patch (take 3)
Add a new option to git-format-patch, entitled --subject-prefix that allows
control of the subject prefix '[PATCH]'. Using this option, the text 'PATCH' is
replaced with whatever input is provided to the option. This allows easily
generating patches like '[PATCH 2.6.21-rc3]' or properly numbered series like
'[-mm3 PATCH N/M]'. This patch provides the implementation and documentation.
