25ee9731c1 gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.

Since it is dangerous, we told users so.  That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.

Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.

Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation.  This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).

If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be

	[gc]
		pruneExpire = 6.months.ago

or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.

Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.

While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.

d4264ca323 git-submodule - Allow adding a submodule in-place
When working in the top-level project, it is useful to create a new
submodule as a git repo in a subdirectory, then add that submodule to
the top-level in place.

This patch allows "git submodule add <intended url> subdir" to add the
existing subdir to the current project.  The presumption is the user will
later push / clone the subdir to the <intended url> so that future
submodule init / updates will work.

Absent this patch, "git submodule add" insists upon cloning the subdir
from a repository at the given url, which is fine for adding an existing
project in, but less useful when adding a new submodule from scratch to an
existing project.  The former functionality remains, and the clone is
attempted if the subdir does not already exist as a valid git repo.

ce2cf27adc run-command: Redirect stderr to a pipe before redirecting stdout to stderr
With this patch, in the 'start_command' function after forking
we now take care of stderr in the child process before stdout.

This way if 'start_command' is called with a 'child_process'
argument like this:

	.err = -1;
	.stdout_to_stderr = 1;

then stderr will be redirected to a pipe before stdout is
redirected to stderr. So we can now get the process' stdout
from the pipe (as well as its stderr).

Earlier such a call would have redirected stdout to stderr
before stderr was itself redirected, and therefore stdout
would not have followed stderr, which would not have been
very useful anyway.

Update documentation in 'api-run-command.txt' accordingly.

964473a042 Teach git mergetool to use custom commands defined at config time
Currently git mergetool is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the mergetool.<tool>.path to force
git mergetool to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.

This patch adds two git config variable patterns which allow a more
flexible choice of merge tool.

If you run git mergetool with -t/--tool or the merge.tool config
variable set to an unrecognized tool then git mergetool will query the
mergetool.<tool>.cmd config variable. If this variable exists, then git
mergetool will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use
a shell eval to run the command with the documented shell variables set.

mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode can be used to indicate that the exit
code of the custom command can be used to determine the success of the
merge.

94c22a5e7b log/show/whatchanged: introduce format.pretty configuration
When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may
want to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt>
option every time from the command line.  This teaches these three
commands to honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.

The --pretty option given from the command line will override the
configured format.

The earlier patch fixed the in-tree callers that run these commands
for purposes other than showing the output directly to the end user
(the only other in-tree caller is "git bisect visualize", whose output
directly goes to the end user and should be affected by this patch).

Similar fixes will be needed for end-user scripts that parse the
output from these commands and expect them to be in the default pretty
format.

b41860bf28 unpack-objects: prevent writing of inconsistent objects
This patch introduces a strict mode, which ensures that:
- no malformed object will be written
- no object with broken links will be written

The patch ensures this by delaying the write of all non blob object.
These object are written, after all objects they link to are written.

An error can only result in unreferenced objects.

348e390b17 Teach fetch-pack/upload-pack about --include-tag
The new protocol extension "include-tag" allows the client side
of the connection (fetch-pack) to request that the server side of the
native git protocol (upload-pack / pack-objects) use --include-tag
as it prepares the packfile, thus ensuring that an annotated tag object
will be included in the resulting packfile if the object it refers to
was also included into the packfile.

f0a24aa56e git-pack-objects: Automatically pack annotated tags if object was packed
The new option "--include-tag" allows the caller to request that
any annotated tag be included into the packfile if the object the tag
references was also included as part of the packfile.

This option can be useful on the server side of a native git transport,
where the server knows what commits it is including into a packfile to
update the client.  If new annotated tags have been introduced then we
can also include them in the packfile, saving the client from needing
to request them through a second connection.

This change only introduces the backend option and provides a test.
Protocol extensions to make this useful in fetch-pack/upload-pack
are still necessary to activate the logic during transport.

extension and which is portable, so let's spell it out to help new people
to keep their contributions from hurting porters.

844112cac0 url rewriting: take longest and first match
Earlier we had a cop-out in the documentation to make the
behaviour "undefined" if configuration had more than one
insteadOf that would match the target URL, like this:

    [url "git://git.or.cz/"]
	insteadOf = "git.or.cz:"       ; (1)
	insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:"      ; (2)
    [url "/local/mirror/"]
	insteadOf = "git.or.cz:myrepo" ; (3)
	insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:"      ; (4)

It would be most natural to take the longest and first match, i.e.

 - rewrite "git.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by using
   (1),

 - rewrite "git.or.cz:myrepo/xyzzy" to "/local/mirror/xyzzy" by favoring
   (3) over (1), and

 - rewrite "repo.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by
   favoring (2) over (4).

55029ae4da Add support for url aliases in config files
This allows users with different preferences for access methods to the
same remote repositories to rewrite each other's URLs by pattern
matching across a large set of similiarly set up repositories to each
get the desired access.

For example, if you don't have a kernel.org account, you might want
settings like:

[url "git://git.kernel.org/pub/"]
      insteadOf = master.kernel.org:/pub

Then, if you give git a URL like:

  master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git

it will act like you gave it:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git

and you can cut-and-paste pull requests in email without fixing them
by hand, for example.

2c33f75754 Teach git-describe --exact-match to avoid expensive tag searches
Sometimes scripts want (or need) the annotated tag name that exactly
matches a specific commit, or no tag at all.  In such cases it can be
difficult to determine if the output of `git describe $commit` is a
real tag name or a tag+abbreviated commit.  A common idiom is to run
git-describe twice:

  if test $(git describe $commit) = $(git describe --abbrev=0 $commit)
  ...

but this is a huge waste of time if the caller is just going to pick a
different method to describe $commit or abort because it is not exactly
an annotated tag.

Setting the maximum number of candidates to 0 allows the caller to ask
for only a tag that directly points at the supplied commit, or to have
git-describe abort if no such item exists.

833e3df171 pack-objects: Add runtime detection of online CPU's
Packing objects can be done in parallell nowadays, but it's
only done if the config option pack.threads is set to a value
above 1. Because of that, the code-path used is often not the
most optimal one.

This patch adds a routine to detect the number of online CPU's
at runtime (online_cpus()). When pack.threads (or --threads=) is
given a value of 0, the number of threads is set to the number of
online CPU's. This feature is also documented.

As per Nicolas Pitre's recommendations, the default is still to
run pack-objects single-threaded unless explicitly activated,
either by configuration or by command line parameter.

The routine online_cpus() is a rework of "numcpus.c", written by
one Philip Willoughby <pgw99@doc.ic.ac.uk>. numcpus.c is in the
public domain and can presently be downloaded from
http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/numcpus/
