5a56da5806 read-tree: migrate to parse-options
Cleanup the documentation to explicitly state that --exclude-directory
is only meaningful when used with -u. Also make the documentation more
consistent with the usage message printed with read-tree --help-all.

The -m, --prefix, --reset options are performing similar actions
(setting some flags, read_cache_unmerged(), checking for illegal option
combinations). Instead of performing these actions when the options are
parsed, we delay performing them until after parse-opts has finished.

The bit fields in struct unpack_trees_options have been promoted to full
unsigned ints. This is necessary to avoid "foo ? 1 : 0" constructs to
set these fields.

2d8ad46919 fast-export: Add a --tag-of-filtered-object option for newly dangling tags
When providing a list of paths to limit what is exported, the object that
a tag points to can be filtered out entirely.  This new switch allows
the user to specify what should happen to the tag in such a case.  The
default action, 'abort' will exit with an error message.  With 'drop', the
tag will simply be omitted from the output.  With 'rewrite', if the object
tagged was a commit, the tag will be modified to tag an alternate commit.
The alternate commit is determined by treating the original commit as the
"parent" of the tag and then using the parent rewriting algorithm of the
revision traversal machinery (related to the "--parents" option of "git
rev-list")

195643f2fc Add 'git svn reset' to unwind 'git svn fetch'
Add a command to unwind the effects of fetch by moving the rev_map
and refs/remotes/git-svn back to an old SVN revision.  This allows
revisions to be re-fetched.  Ideally SVN revs would be immutable,
but permissions changes in the SVN repository or indiscriminate use
of '--ignore-paths' can create situations where fetch cannot make
progress.

5eec27e35f git-svn: let 'dcommit $rev' work on $rev instead of HEAD
'git svn dcommit' takes an optional revision argument, but the meaning
of it was rather scary.  It completely ignored the current state of
the HEAD, only looking at the revisions between SVN and $rev.  If HEAD
was attached to $branch, the branch lost all commits $rev..$branch in
the process.

Considering that 'git svn dcommit HEAD^' has the intuitive meaning
"dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the
meaning of the revision argument.  git-svn temporarily checks out $rev
for its work, meaning that

* if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as
  part of the dcommit,

* if some other revision is specified, as in the example, all work
  happens on a detached HEAD and no branch is affected.

0e987a12fc am, rebase: teach quiet option
git-am and git-rebase are talkative scripts. Teach them to be quiet when
told, allowing them to speak only when they fail or experience errors.

The quiet option is maintained when git-am or git-rebase fails to apply
a patch. This means subsequent --resolved, --continue, --skip, --abort
invocations will be quiet if the original invocation was quiet.

Drop a handful of >&2 redirection; the rest of the program sends all the

environment variable, GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED, to enable SSL client
certificate password prompt from within git.  If this option is false and
if the environment variable does not exist, git falls back to OpenSSL's
prompts (as in earlier versions of git).

The environment variable may only be used to enable, not to disable
git's password prompt.  This behavior mimics GIT_NO_VERIFY; the mere
existence of the variable is all that is checked.

cb8a9bd518 Test cccmd in t9001-send-email.sh and fix some bugs
For another patch series I'm working on I needed some tests
for the cc-cmd feature of git-send-email.

This patch adds 3 tests for the feature and for the possibility
to specify --suppress-cc multiple times, and fixes two bugs.
The first bug is that the --suppress-cc option for `cccmd' was
misspelled as `ccmd' in the code.  The second bug, which is
actually found only with my other series, is that the argument
to the cccmd is never quoted, so the cccmd would fail with
patch file names containing a space.

A third bug I fix (in the docs) is that the bodycc argument was
actually spelled ccbody in the documentation and bash completion.

f39d6ee2aa Documentation: mention 'git stash pop --index' option explicitly
'git stash pop' supports the '--index' option since its initial
implementation (bd56ff54, git-stash: add new 'pop' subcommand,
2008-02-22), but its documentation does not mention it explicitly.
Moreover, both the usage shown by 'git stash -h' and the synopsis
section in the man page imply that 'git stash pop' does not have an
'--index' option.

First, this patch corrects the usage and the synopsis section.

Second, the patch moves the description of the '--index' option to the
'git stash pop' section in the documentation, and refers to it from
the 'git stash apply' section.  This way it follows the intentions of
commit d1836637 (Documentation: teach stash/pop workflow instead of
stash/apply, 2009-05-28), as all 'git stash pop'-related documentation
will be in one place without references to 'git stash apply'.

42b4917862 git-submodule: add support for --merge.
'git submodule update --merge' merges the commit referenced by the
superproject into your local branch, instead of checking it out on
a detached HEAD.

As evidenced by the addition of "git submodule update --rebase", it
is useful to provide alternatives to the default 'checkout' behaviour
of "git submodule update". One such alternative is, when updating a
submodule to a new commit, to merge that commit into the current
local branch in that submodule. This is useful in workflows where
you want to update your submodule from its upstream, but you cannot
use --rebase, because you have downstream people working on top of
your submodule branch, and you don't want to disrupt their work.

329484256e Rename submodule.<name>.rebase to submodule.<name>.update
The addition of "submodule.<name>.rebase" demonstrates the usefulness of
alternatives to the default behaviour of "git submodule update". However,
by naming the config variable "submodule.<name>.rebase", and making it a
boolean choice, we are artificially constraining future git versions that
may want to add _more_ alternatives than just "rebase".

Therefore, while "submodule.<name>.rebase" is not yet in a stable git
release, future-proof it, by changing it from

  submodule.<name>.rebase = true/false

to

  submodule.<name>.update = rebase/checkout

where "checkout" specifies the default behaviour of "git submodule update"
(checking out the new commit to a detached HEAD), and "rebase" specifies
the --rebase behaviour (where the current local branch in the submodule is
rebase onto the new commit). Thus .update == checkout is equivalent to
.rebase == false, and .update == rebase is equivalent to .rebase == true.
Finally, leaving .update unset is equivalent to leaving .rebase unset.

In future git versions, other alternatives to "git submodule update"
behaviour can be included by adding them to the list of allowable values
for the submodule.<name>.update variable.

0e5168fd18 fix cat-file usage message and documentation
cat-file with an object on the command line requires an
option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print,
etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that
those options are not required. This patch switches them to
parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly
braces might also work, but this follows the convention used
already by "git stash").

While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the
usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and
it does actually use the regular object lookup.

df217ed643 parse-opts: add OPT_FILENAME and transition builtins
Commit dbd0f5c (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd,
2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a minimal fix.
OPT_FILENAME is intended to be a more robust fix for the same issue.
OPT_FILENAME and its associated enum OPTION_FILENAME are used to
represent filename options within the parse options API.

This option is similar to OPTION_STRING. If --no is prefixed to the
option the filename is unset. If no argument is given and the default
value is set, the filename is set to the default value. The difference
is that the filename is prefixed with the prefix passed to
parse_options() (or parse_options_start()).

Update git-apply, git-commit, git-fmt-merge-msg, and git-tag to use
OPT_FILENAME with their filename options. Also, rename
parse_options_fix_filename() to fix_filename() as it is no longer
extern.

To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options()
which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix
member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the
calling context, passing NULL will suffice.

36db1eddf9 git-svn: add --authors-prog option
Add a new option, --authors-prog, to git-svn that allows a more flexible
alternative (or supplement) to --authors-file.  This allows more
advanced username operations than the authors file will allow.  For
example, one may look up Subversion users via LDAP, or may generate the
name and email address from the Subversion username.

Notes:

* If both --authors-name and --authors-prog are given, the former is
  tried first, falling back to the later.

* The program is called once per unique SVN username, and the result is
  cached.

* The command-line argument must be the path to a program, not a generic
  shell command line.  The absolute path to this program is taken at
  startup since the git-svn script changes directory during operation.

* The option is not enabled for `git svn log'.

09caa24fac send-email: Add config option for sender address
The sender address, as specified with the '--from' command line option,
couldn't be set in the config file.  So add a new config option,
'sendemail.from', which sets it.  One can use 'sendemail.<identity>.from'
as well of course, which is likely the more useful case.

The sender address would default to GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT, which is usually the
right thing, but this doesn't allow switching based on the identity
selected.  It's possible to switch the SMTP server and envelope sender by
using the '--identity' option, in which case one probably wants to use a
different from address as well, but this had to be manually specified.

The documentation for 'from' is also corrected somewhat.  If '--from' is
specified (or the new sendemail.from option is used) then the user isn't
prompted.  The default with no '--from' option (or sendemail.from option)
is GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT first then GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, not just
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT.

be66a6c43d Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

ca2cedba70 git-submodule: add support for --rebase.
'git submodule update --rebase' rebases your local branch on top of what
would have been checked out to a detached HEAD otherwise.

In some cases, detaching the HEAD when updating a submodule complicates
the workflow to commit to this submodule (checkout master, rebase, then
commit).  For submodules that require frequent updates but infrequent
(if any) commits, a rebase can be executed directly by the git-submodule
command, ensuring that the submodules stay on their respective branches.

git-config key: submodule.$name.rebase (bool)

c4c86d2389 doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config text
The gitattributes documentation has a section on the "diff"
attribute, with subsections for each of the things you might
want to configure in your diff config section (external
diff, hunk headers, etc). The first such subsection
specifically notes that the definition of the diff driver
should go into $GIT_DIR/config, but subsequent sections do
not.

This location is implied if you are reading the
documentation sequentially, but it is not uncommon for a new
user to jump to (or be referred to) a specific section. For
a new user who does not know git well enough to recognize
the config syntax, it is not clear that those directives
don't also go into the gitattributes file.

This patch just mentions the config file in each subsection,
similar to the way it is mentioned in the first.

0808723b50 docs/checkout: clarify what "non-branch" means
In the code we literally stick "refs/heads/" on the front
and see if it resolves, so that is probably the best
explanation.

76cfadfc17 doc/checkout: split checkout and branch creation in synopsis
These can really be thought of as two different modes, since
the "<branch>" parameter is treated differently in the two
(in one it is the branch to be checked out, but in the other
it is really a start-point for branch creation).

26d22dc64a doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriate
Most of description for the branch creation options is
simply cut and paste from git-branch. There are two reasons
to fix this:

  1. It can grow stale with respect to what's in "git
     branch" (which it is now is).

  2. It is not just an implementation detail, but rather the
     desired mental model for the command that we are using
     "git branch" here. Being explicit about that can help
     the user understand what is going on.

It also makes sense to strip the branch creation options
from the synopsis, as they are making it a long,
hard-to-read line. They are still easily discovered by
reading the options list, and --track is explicitly
referenced when branch creation is described.

167d744543 doc: refer to tracking configuration as "upstream"
The term "tracking" often creates confusion between remote
tracking branches and local branches which track a remote
branch. The term "upstream" captures more clearly the idea
of "branch A is based on branch B in some way", so it makes
sense to mention it.

At the same time, upstream branches are used for more
than just git-pull these days; let's mention that here.

47d65924a6 mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variables
The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables.  This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.

A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.

c59cb03a8b git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)
With "git add -e [<files>]", Git will fire up an editor with the current
diff relative to the index (i.e. what you would get with "git diff
[<files>]").

Now you can edit the patch as much as you like, including adding/removing
lines, editing the text, whatever.  Make sure, though, that the first
character of the hunk lines is still a space, a plus or a minus.

After you closed the editor, Git will adjust the line counts of the hunks
if necessary, thanks to the --recount option of apply, and commit the
patch.  Except if you deleted everything, in which case nothing happens
(for obvious reasons).

0d8bee71af git-svn: Add per-svn-remote ignore-paths config
The --ignore-paths option to fetch is very useful for working on a subset
of a SVN repository.  For proper operation, every command that causes a
fetch (explicit or implied) must include a matching --ignore-paths option.

This patch adds a persistent svn-remote.$repo_id.ignore-paths config by
promoting Fetcher::is_path_ignored to a member function and initializing
$self->{ignore_regex} in Fetcher::new.  Command line --ignore-paths is
still recognized and acts in addition to the config value.

0e5e69a355 Documentation: git-svn: fix trunk/fetch svn-remote key typo
Fix the git-svn documentation svn-remote example section talking about
tags and branches by using the proper key "fetch" instead of "trunk".
Using "trunk" actually might be nice, but it doesn't currently work.

The fetch line for the trunk was also reordered to be at the top of the
list, since most people think about the trunk/tags/branches trio in that
logical order.

2346431e47 Documentation: use "spurious .sp" XSLT if DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP is set
With this change, the "spurious .sp" suppression XSLT code is
disabled by default. It can be enabled by defining
DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP.

The "spurious .sp" XSLT fragment was used to work around a bug
first released in docbook-xsl 1.69.1. Modern versions of
docbook-xsl are negatively affected by the code (some empty lines
are omitted from manpage output; see
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/115302>).

The key revisions in the docbook SVN repo seem to be 5144 (before
docbook-xsl 1.69.1) and 6359 (before docbook-xsl 1.71.1).

Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.
