98a4d87b87 color-words: Support diff.wordregex config option
When diff is invoked with --color-words (w/o =regex), use the regular
expression the user has configured as diff.wordregex.

diff drivers configured via attributes take precedence over the
diff.wordregex-words setting.  If the user wants to change them, they have
their own configuration variables.

e82f0d73f0 git-svn: Add --localtime option to "fetch"
By default git-svn stores timestamps of fetched commits in
Subversion's UTC format.  Passing --localtime to fetch will convert
them to the timezone of the server on which git-svn is run.

This makes the timestamps of a resulting "git log" agree with what
"svn log" shows for the same repository.

c002922adc expand --pretty=format color options
Currently, the only colors available to --pretty=format
users are red, green, and blue. Rather than expand it with a
few new colors, this patch makes the usual config color
syntax available, including more colors, backgrounds, and
attributes.

Because colors are no longer bounded to a single word (e.g.,
%Cred), this uses a more advanced syntax that features a
beginning and end delimiter (but the old syntax still
works). So you can now do:

  git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(yellow)%h%C(reset) %s'

to emulate --pretty=oneline, or even

  git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(cyan magenta bold)%s%C(reset)'

if you want to relive the awesomeness of 4-color CGA.

80c49c3de2 color-words: make regex configurable via attributes
Make the --color-words splitting regular expression configurable via
the diff driver's 'wordregex' attribute.  The user can then set the
driver on a file in .gitattributes.  If a regex is given on the
command line, it overrides the driver's setting.

We also provide built-in regexes for the languages that already had
funcname patterns, and add an appropriate diff driver entry for C/++.
(The patterns are designed to run UTF-8 sequences into a single chunk
to make sure they remain readable.)

2b6a5417d7 color-words: take an optional regular expression describing words
In some applications, words are not delimited by white space.  To
allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing
what makes a word with

	git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+'

Note that words cannot contain newline characters.

As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the
regular expression.

Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only
a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of
a line, and is probably not what you want.

This commit contains a quoting fix by Thomas Rast.

d3240d935c filter-branch: add git_commit_non_empty_tree and --prune-empty.
git_commit_non_empty_tree is added to the functions that can be run from
commit filters. Its effect is to commit only commits actually touching the
tree and that are not merge points either.

The option --prune-empty is added. It defaults the commit-filter to
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"', and can be used with any other
combination of filters, except --commit-hook that must used
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"' where one puts 'git commit-tree "$@"'
usually to achieve the same result.

Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if
they have allocated it.  They don't shrink buffers that have been grown,
though.

This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call
strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had
to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves.

Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink.

a9e67c8ccc Documentation/diff-options.txt: unify options
Instead of listing short option (e.g. "-U<n>") as a shorthand for its
longer counterpart (e.g. "--unified=<n>"), list the synonyms together.  It
saves one indirection to find what the reader wants.

6d0e674a57 diff: add option to show context between close hunks
Merge two hunks if there is only the specified number of otherwise unshown
context between them.  For --inter-hunk-context=1, the resulting patch has
the same number of lines but shows uninterrupted context instead of a
context header line in between.

Patches generated with this option are easier to read but are also more
likely to conflict if the file to be patched contains other changes.

This patch keeps the default for this option at 0.  It is intended to just
make the feature available in order to see its advantages and downsides.

9c6c304d6a Fix the building of gitman.info document
"makeinfo" failed to generate gitman.info from gitman.texi input file
because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the
same name (DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, SEE ALSO etc.). An Info document should
contain unique node names.

This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the
validation of the final Info file. Jumping to nodes in the Info document
still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like
DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to
the man page where they appear first (that is git-add currently).

Also, this patch adds directory-entry information for Info document to
make the document appear in the top-level Info directory.

8b30ad01b4 Fix the building of user-manual.texi and gitman.texi documents
Previously "docbook2x-texi" failed to generate user-manual.texi and
gitman.texi files from .xml input files because "iconv" stopped at
"illegal input sequence" error. This was due to some UTF-8 octets in the
input .xml files. This patch adds option --encoding=UTF-8 for
"docbook2x-texi" to allow the building of .texi files complete.

879ef2485d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

4e46a8d62c fast-export: deal with tag objects that do not have a tagger
When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this),
no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current
git fast-import).

Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing
fast-export to fake a tagger

	Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger>

with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing
tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

The SYNOPSIS section of the manual writes:

    git checkout [options] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>...

but the DESCRIPTION says that this form checks the paths out "from the
index, or from a named commit."  A later sentence refers to the same
argument as "<tree-ish> argument", but it is not clear that these two
sentences are talking about the same command line argument for first-time
readers.
