These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the
git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are
touched, so you need to explicitly say
make info
sudo make install-info
to get git.info created and installed. If the info target directory
does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created.
This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations. The same could be
achieved with
sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info
explicitly.
perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in
the Texinfo file. It would be cleaner to place the respective info
straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I
find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

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
the word "index" from the description goes too far; reinstate its use,
to simplify some of the language slightly and smooth the transition to
other documentation.

* 'master' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/git:
documentation: use the word "index" in the git-add manual page
user-manual: mention git-gui
user-manual: mention git stash
user-manual: update for new default --track behavior
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.

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
discoverable from the user-interface. Pending some ui improvements, a
parenthetical hint here may help.

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.

I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of
a /data/git postfix in the posted urls. But transitioning is tricky,
since now all old paths will fail miserably.
So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon
try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up.
With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git
and the old
git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git

This replaces "git-verify-tag.sh" with "builtin-verify-tag.c".
Testing relies on the "git tag -v" tests calling this command.
A temporary file is needed when calling to gpg, because git is
already creating detached signatures (gpg option -b) to sign tags
(instead of leaving gpg to add the signature to the file by itself),
and those signatures need to be supplied in a separate file to be
verified by gpg.
The program uses git_mkstemp to create that temporary file needed by
gpg, instead of the previously used "$GIT_DIR/.tmp-vtag", in order to
allow the command to be used in read-only repositories, and also
prevent other instances of git to read or remove the same file.
Signal SIGPIPE is ignored because the program sometimes was
terminated because that signal when writing the input for gpg.
The command now can receive many tag names to be verified.
Documentation is also updated here to reflect this new behaviour.

The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but
so far has been in use exclusively by "git show".
With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last
commit:
$ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk
which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic
branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber
debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking.
(Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as
$ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet
since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the
refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.)
For good measure, this also adds the "--do-walk" option which overrides
"--no-walk".

We used to take the first non-option argument as the name for the new
branch. This syntax is not extensible to support rewriting more than just
HEAD.
Instead, we now have the following syntax:
git filter-branch [<filter options>...] [<rev-list options>]
All positive refs given in <rev-list options> are rewritten. Yes,
in-place. If a ref was changed, the original head is stored in
refs/original/$ref now, for your inspecting pleasure, in addition to the
reflogs (since it is easier to inspect "git show-ref | grep original" than
to inspect all the reflogs).
This commit also adds the --force option to remove .git-rewrite/ and all
refs from refs/original/ before filtering.
