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.

'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
ls-remote: add support for showing symrefs Sometimes it's useful to know the main branch of a git repository without actually downloading the repository. This can be done by looking at the symrefs stored in the remote repository. Currently git doesn't provide a simple way to show the symrefs stored on the remote repository, even though the information is available. Add a --symref command line argument to the ls-remote command, which shows the symrefs in the remote repository. While there, replace a literal tab in the format string with \t to make it more obvious to the reader.

OPTIONS
-------
Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

ls-remote: the --exit-code option reports "no matching refs" The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when the command successfully talked with the remote repository. This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid way to check the same thing.

--exit-code::
Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it
found any matching refs.
ls-remote: document the '--get-url' option While looking for a way to expand the URL of a remote that uses a 'url.<name>.insteadOf' config option I stumbled over the undocumented '--get-url' option of 'git ls-remote'. This adds some minimum documentation for that option. And while at it, also add that option to the '-h' output.

--get-url::

"url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
exit without talking to the remote.

--symref::
In addition to the object pointed by it, show the underlying
ref pointed by it when showing a symbolic ref. Currently,
upload-pack only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only
one shown by ls-remote.
