This message is designed to help new users understand what
has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not
help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters

This configuration option allows systematically rewriting fetch-only URLs
to push-capable URLs when used with push. For instance:
[url "ssh://example.org/"]
pushInsteadOf = "git://example.org/"
This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently
push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.
Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and
test cases (both that pushInsteadOf applies to push, that it does not
apply to fetch, and that it is ignored when pushURL is already defined).

The status command recently grew "short" and "porcelain"
options for alternate output formats. Since status is no
longer "commit --dry-run", these formats are inaccessible to
people who do want to see a dry-run in a parseable form.
This patch makes those formats available to "git commit",
implying the "dry-run" option when they are used.

The "short" format was added to "git status" recently to
provide a less verbose way of looking at the same
information. This has two practical uses:
1. Users who want a more dense display of the information.
2. Scripts which want to parse the information and need a
stable, easy-to-parse interface.
For now, the "--short" format covers both of those uses.
However, as time goes on, users of (1) may want additional
format tweaks, or for "git status" to change its behavior
based on configuration variables. Those wishes will be at
odds with (2), which wants to stability for scripts.
This patch introduces a separate --porcelain option early to
avoid problems later on. Right now the --short and
--porcelain outputs are identical. However, as time goes on,
we will have the freedom to customize --short for human
consumption while keeping --porcelain stable.

People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.
This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof. This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.
Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.
The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes. The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors. It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.
Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix. Or you could call it a new feature. The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.
Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have. People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

* maint-1.6.3:
git-clone: add missing comma in --reference documentation
git-cvsserver: no longer use deprecated 'git-subcommand' commands
clone: disconnect transport after fetching
With the earlier DWIM patches, certain combination of options defaulted
to the "save" command correctly while certain equally valid combination
did not. For example, "git stash -k" were Ok but "git stash -q -k" did
not work.
This makes the logic of defaulting to "save" much simpler. If there are no
non-flag arguments, it is clear that there is no command word, and we
default to "save" subcommand. This rule prevents "git stash -q apply"
from quietly creating a stash with "apply" as the message.
This also teaches "git stash save" to reject an unknown option. This is
to keep a mistyped "git stash save --quite" from creating a stash with a
message "--quite", and this safety is more important with the new logic
to default to "save" with any option-looking argument without an explicit
comand word.

A request to clone the repository does not give any "have" but asks for
all the refs we offer with "want". When a request does not ask to clone
the repository fully, but asks to fetch some refs into an empty
repository, it will not give any "have" but its "want" won't ask for all
the refs we offer.
If we suppose (and I would say this is a rather big if) that it makes
sense to distinguish these two cases, a hook cannot reliably do this
alone. The hook can detect lack of "have" and bunch of "want", but there
is no direct way to tell if the other end asked for all refs we offered,
or merely most of them.
Between the time we talked with the other end and the time the hook got
called, we may have acquired more refs or lost some refs in the repository
by concurrent operations. Given that we plan to introduce selective
advertisement of refs with a protocol extension, it would become even more
difficult for hooks to guess between these two cases.
This adds "kind [clone|fetch]" to hook's input, as a stable interface to
allow the hooks to tell these cases apart.

The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:
1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
be shared.
2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
repo.
This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.
For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".
For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no

the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.
Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage
git checkout --patch -- [files...]
it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).
We also accept a revision argument. In the case
git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]
we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage
git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]
it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.
The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree). If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

If one thinks of a revision as the set of commits which can be reached
from the rev, and of ^rev as the complement, then multiple arguments to
git rev-list can be neither understood as the intersection nor the union
of the individual sets.
But set language is the natural as well as logical language in which to
phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using
set language.

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.
A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.
While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

transport_get() can call transport_native_helper_init() to have list and
fetch-ref operations handled by running a separate program as:
git remote-<something> <remote> [<url>]
This program then accepts, on its stdin, "list" and "fetch <hex>
<name>" commands; the former prints out a list of available refs and
either their hashes or what they are symrefs to, while the latter
fetches them into the local object database and prints a newline when done.

The current documentation states that servers typically listen on port
465 and calls this "ssmtp". While it's true that many mail servers use
port 465 for SSL smtp, this is non-standard, and hails from the days
before smtp and submission TLS support, that arrived in RFC2487 and
RFC3207. Port 465 is actually assigned by IANA for unrelated purposes,
and is mostly still used by mail servers today only to support Outlook
Express.
In any case, this patch helps the documentation better reflect both
standards and reality, while still helpfully mentioning ports numbers
that a user may wish to specify.

When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs. This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure. --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a

By default, we remove leading [bracketed] [strings] from the Subject:
header when coming up with the summary of the patch. This is because
there are mailing lists etc that add their own headers to the subject, and
they know they can add things in brackets. The most obvious example is the
Linux kernel security list. Their emails look like
Subject: [Security] [patch] random: make get_random_int() more random
and other people mangle Subject: themselves in a similar way, e.g.:
Subject: [PATCH -rc] [BUGFIX] x86: fix kernel_trap_sp()
Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH] fix bad page removal from LRU (Was Re: [RFC][PATCH] ..
even though "fix" is more than enough cue to mark it as a [BUGFIX].
Some projects however want to keep these bracketed strings. With this
option, we remove only [bracketed strings that contain word PATCH], so we
will turn things like these
[PATCH] [mailinfo] -b ...
[PATCH v2] [mailinfo] -b ...
[PATCH (v2) 1/4] [mailinfo] -b ...
into
[mailinfo] -b ...

Add a test showing that 'git repack' throws away grafted-away parents
Conflicts:

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.
So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.
As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

It is useful to grep directories non-recursively, e.g. when one wants to
look for all files in the toplevel directory, but not in any subdirectory,

This patch adds support for --max-depth <depth> option to git-grep. If it is
given, git-grep descends at most <depth> levels of directories below paths
specified on the command line.
Note that if path specified on command line contains wildcards, this option
makes no sense, e.g.
$ git grep -l --max-depth 0 GNU -- 'contrib/*'
(note the quotes) will search all files in contrib/, even in
subdirectories, because '*' matches all files.

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

'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.

'git stash pop' supports the '--index' option since its initial
implementation (bd56ff54, git-stash: add new 'pop' subcommand,

Moreover, both the usage shown by 'git stash -h' and the synopsis

'--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

t6023: merge-file fails to output anything for a degenerate 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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

It enables creation of many tree objects with a single process.
The change was motivated by performance considerations in applications that

times improved from (roughly) 200ms to 50ms.

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.

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().

'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.
