Commit 72183cb2 (Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of
gitdir, 2009-01-16) added a test to 't1501-worktree' to check the
behaviour of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' in a special case. However,
t1501 is about testing separate work tree setups, and not about basic
'rev-parse' functionality, which is tested in t1500-rev-parse.
Therefore, this patch moves that test to t1500.

Add a section about how to shrink a repository's size after running
git-filter-branch to remove large blobs from history.
This comes up every week or so on IRC, and the commands required to
handle every case are not very newbie-friendly, so hopefully writing
them down somewhere leads to fewer questions.
It may seem contradictory to document fallbacks for older Gits in
newer docs, but we want to point people at this as a FAQ answer, and

Commit afe5d3d5 introduced a safety valve to symbolic-ref to
disallow installing an invalid HEAD. It was accompanied by
b229d18a, which changed validate_headref to require that
HEAD contain a pointer to refs/heads/ instead of just refs/.
Therefore, the safety valve also checked for refs/heads/.
As it turns out, topgit is using refs/top-bases/ in HEAD,
leading us to re-loosen (at least temporarily) the
validate_headref check made in b229d18a. This patch does the
corresponding loosening for the symbolic-ref safety valve,
so that the two are in agreement once more.

'git log --abbrev-commit' added an ellipsis to all commit names that

"\" was treated differently in exclude rules depending on whether a
wildcard match was done. For wildcard rules, "\" was de-escaped in
fnmatch, but this was not done for other rules since they used strcmp
instead. A file named "#foo" would not be excluded by "\#foo", but would
be excluded by "\#foo*".
We now treat all rules with "\" as wildcard rules.
Another solution could be to de-escape all non-wildcard rules as we
read them, but we would have to do the de-escaping exactly as fnmatch
does it to avoid inconsistencies.

Make repack less likely to corrupt repository
fast-export: ensure we traverse commits in topological order
Clear the delta base cache if a pack is rebuilt
Some platforms refuse to rename a file that is open. When repacking an
already packed repository without adding any new object, the resulting
pack will contain the same set of objects as an existing pack, and on such
platforms, a newly created packfile cannot replace the existing one.
The logic detected this issue but did not try hard enough to recover from
it. Especially because the files that needs renaming come in pairs, there
potentially are different failure modes that one can be renamed but the
others cannot. Asking manual recovery to end users were error prone.
This patch tries to make it more robust by first making sure all the
existing files that need to be renamed have been renamed before
continuing, and attempts to roll back if some failed to rename.
This is based on an initial patch by Robin Rosenberg.

9273b56 (filter-branch: Fix fatal error on bare repositories, 2009-02-03)
fixed a missing check of return status from an underlying command in
git-filter-branch, but there still are places that do not check errors.
For example, the command does not pay attention to the exit status of the
command given by --commit-filter. It should abort in such a case.
This attempts to fix all the remaining places that fails to checks errors.
In two places, I've had to break apart pipelines in order to check the
error code for the first stage of the pipeline, as discussed here:

In the show_new_revisions function, the original code:
git rev-parse --not --branches | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) |
isn't quite right since one can create a new branch and push it
without any new commits. In that case, two refs will have the same
sha1 but both would get filtered by the 'grep'. In the end, we'll
show ALL the history which is not what we want. Instead, we should
list the branches by name and remove the branch being updated and THEN
pass that list through rev-parse.
Revised as suggested by Jakub Narebski and Junio C Hamano to use
git-for-each-ref instead of git-branch. (Thanks!)

There is some risk that re-opening a regenerated pack file with
different offsets could leave stale entries within the delta base
cache that could be matched up against other objects using the same
"struct packed_git*" and pack offset.
Throwing away the entire delta base cache in this case is safer,
as we don't have to worry about a recycled "struct packed_git*"
matching to the wrong base object, resulting in delta apply
errors while unpacking an object.

When initializing a git-svn repository from a Subversion repoository,
it is common to be interested in a path which did not exist in the
initial commit to Subversion. In a large repository, the initial fetch
may take some looking for the earliest existence of the path time while
the user receives no additional feedback. Print the highest revision
number scanned thus far to let the user know something is still
happening.

Since dbc6c74d08, git-svn has had
an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some

The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via:

cc0e6c5 (Handle return code of parse_commit in revision machinery,
2007-05-04) attempted to tighten error checking in the revision machinery,
but it wasn't enough. When get_revision_1() was asked for the next commit
to return, it tries to read and simplify the parents of the commit to be
returned, but an error while doing so was silently ignored and reported as
a truncated history to the caller instead.
This resulted in an early end of "git log" output or a pack that lacks
older commits from "git pack-objects", without any error indication in the
exit status from these commands, even though the underlying parse_commit()
issues an error message to the end user.
Note that the codepath in add_parents_list() that paints parents of an
UNINTERESTING commit UNINTERESTING silently ignores the error when
parse_commit() fails; this is deliberate and in line with aeeae1b
(revision traversal: allow UNINTERESTING objects to be missing,
2009-01-27).

This is a companion patch to the recent 3d95d92 (receive-pack: explain
what to do when push updates the current branch, 2009-01-31).
Deleting the current branch from a remote will result in the next clone
from it not check out anything, among other things. It also is one of the
cause that makes remotes/origin/HEAD a dangling symbolic ref. This patch
still allows the traditional behaviour but with a big warning, and promises
that the default will change to 'refuse' in a future release.

If you prune from the remote "frotz" that deleted the ref your tracking
branch remotes/frotz/HEAD points at, the symbolic ref will become
dangling. We used to detect this as an error condition and issued a
message every time refs are enumerated.

index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty.
This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs
from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be
achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0).
The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option
flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h
for a list.
index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c,
so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c.
Yet to mention:
- "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed.
This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither
setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index().
- rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.

Many tests checked for failure by hand without using test_must_fail (they
probably predate the shell function).
When we know the desired outcome, explicitly check for it, instead of
checking if the result does not match one possible incorrect outcome.
E.g. if you expect a push to be refused, you do not test if the result is
different from what was pushed. Instead, make sure that the ref did not
before and after the push.
The test sequence chdir'ed around and any failure at one point could have
started the next test in an unexpected directory. Fix this problem by
using subshells as necessary.
