2731d04883 Makefile: say the default target upfront.
Alex Riesen wants to keep extra makefile targets in config.mak, but
the file is included before any of our real targets.  Having this
at the beginning allows you to do so.

1b1e59c508 Add git-config-set, a simple helper for scripts to set config variables
This is meant for the end user, who cannot be expected to edit
.git/config by hand.

Example:

	git-config-set core.filemode true

will set filemode in the section [core] to true,

	git-config-set --unset core.filemode

will remove the entry (failing if it is not there), and

	git-config-set --unset diff.twohead ^recar

will remove the unique entry whose value matches the regex "^recar"
(failing if there is no unique such entry).

It is just a light wrapper around git_config_set() and
git_config_set_multivar().

8e49d50388 C implementation of the 'git' program, take two.
This patch provides a C implementation of the 'git' program and
introduces support for putting the git-* commands in a directory
of their own. It also saves some time on executing those commands
in a tight loop and it prints the currently available git commands
in a nicely formatted list.

The location of the GIT_EXEC_PATH (name discussion's closed, thank gods)
can be obtained by running

	git --exec-path

which will hopefully give porcelainistas ample time to adapt their
heavy-duty loops to call the core programs directly and thus save
the extra fork() / execve() overhead, although that's not really
necessary any more.

The --exec-path value is prepended to $PATH, so the git-* programs
should Just Work without ever requiring any changes to how they call
other programs in the suite.

Some timing values for 10000 invocations of git-var >&/dev/null:
	git.sh: 24.194s
	git.c:   9.044s
	git-var: 7.377s

The git-<tab><tab> behaviour can, along with the someday-to-be-deprecated
git-<command> form of invocation, be indefinitely retained by adding
the following line to one's .bash_profile or equivalent:

	PATH=$PATH:$(git --exec-path)

Experimental libraries can be used by either setting the environment variable
GIT_EXEC_PATH, or by using

	git --exec-path=/some/experimental/exec-path

Relative paths are properly grok'ed as exec-path values.

3299c6f6a8 diff: make default rename detection limit configurable.
A while ago, a rename-detection limit logic was implemented as a
response to this thread:

	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112413080630175

where gitweb was found to be using a lot of time and memory to
detect renames on huge commits.  git-diff family takes -l<num>
flag, and if the number of paths that are rename destination
candidates (i.e. new paths with -M, or modified paths with -C)
are larger than that number, skips rename/copy detection even
when -M or -C is specified on the command line.

This commit makes the rename detection limit easier to use.  You
can have:

	[diff]
		renamelimit = 30

in your .git/config file to specify the default rename detection
limit.  You can override this from the command line; giving 0
means 'unlimited':

	git diff -M -l0

We might want to change the default behaviour, when you do not
have the configuration, to limit it to say 20 paths or so.  This
would also help the diffstat generation after a big 'git pull'.

"yum install git" to do the obvious thing.

12aa7456c9 Simplify CFLAGS/DEFINES in Makefile
I think the original intention was to make CFLAGS overridable
from the make command line, but somehow we ended up accumulating
conditional makefile sections that wrongly appends values to
CFLAGs.  These assignments do not work when the user actually
override them from the make command line!

DEFINES are handled the same way; it was seemingly overridable,
but the makefile sections had assignments, which meant
overriding it from the command line broke things.

This simplifies things by limiting the internal futzing to
ALL_CFLAGS, and by removing DEFINES altogether.  Overriding
CFLAGS from the command line should start working with this
change.

46774a81f9 GIT 0.99.9
Done in 0.99.9
==============

Ports
~~~~~

* Cygwin port [HPA].

* OpenBSD build [Merlyn and others].

Fixes
~~~~~

* clone request over git native protocol from a repository with
  too many refs did not work; this has been fixed.

* git-daemon got safer for kernel.org use [HPA].

* Extended SHA1 parser was not enforcing uniqueness for
  abbreviated SHA1; this has been fixed.

* http transport does not barf on funny characters in URL.

* The ref naming restrictions have been formalized and the
  coreish refuses to create funny refs; we still need to audit
  importers.  See git-check-ref-format(1).

New Features and Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* .git/config file as a per-repository configuration mechanism,
  and some commands understand it [Linus].  See
  git(7).

* The core.filemode configuration item can be used to make us a
  bit more FAT friendly.  See git(7).

* The extended SHA1 notation acquired Peel-the-onion operator
  ^{type} and ^{}.  See git-rev-parse(1).

* SVN importer [Matthias].  See git-svnimport(1).

* .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2} directories are created on demand,
  and removed when becomes empty after prune-packed [Linus].

* Filenames output from various commands without -z option are
  quoted when they embed funny characters (TAB and LF) using
  C-style quoting within double-quotes, to match the proposed
  GNU diff/patch notation [me, but many people contributed in
  the discussion].

* git-mv is expected to be a better replacement for git-rename.
  While the latter has two parameter restriction, it acts more
  like the regular 'mv' that can move multiple things to one
  destinatino directory [Josef Weidendorfer].

* git-checkout can take filenames to revert the changes to
  them.  See git-checkout(1)

* The new program git-am is a replacement for git-applymbox that
  has saner command line options and a bit easier to use when a
  patch does not apply cleanly.

* git-ls-remote can show unwrapped onions using ^{} notation, to
  help Cogito to track tags.

* git-merge-recursive backend can merge unrelated projects.

* git-clone over native transport leaves the result packed.

* git-http-fetch issues multiple requests in parallel when
  underlying cURL library supports it [Nick and Daniel].

* git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack try harder to figure out
  better common commits [Johannes].

* git-read-tree -u removes a directory when it makes it empty.

* git-diff-* records abbreviated SHA1 names of original and
  resulting blob; this sometimes helps to apply otherwise an
  unapplicable patch by falling back to 3-way merge.

* git-format-patch now takes series of from..to rev ranges and
  with '-m --stdout', writes them out to the standard output.
  This can be piped to 'git-am' to implement cheaper
  cherry-picking.

* git-tag takes '-u' to specify the tag signer identity [Linus].

* git-rev-list can take optional pathspecs to skip commits that
  do not touch them (--dense) [Linus].

* Comes with new and improved gitk [Paulus and Linus].

bd321bcc51 Add git-name-rev
git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by
walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the
following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous
names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller.

With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags.

With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name
could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".)

f3123c4ab3 pack-objects: Allow use of pre-generated pack.
git-pack-objects can reuse pack files stored in $GIT_DIR/pack-cache
directory, when a necessary pack is found.  This is hopefully useful
when upload-pack (called from git-daemon) is expected to receive
requests for the same set of objects many times (e.g full cloning
request of any project, or updates from the set of heads previous day
to the latest for a slow moving project).

Currently git-pack-objects does *not* keep pack files it creates for
reusing.  It might be useful to add --update-cache option to it,
which would allow it store pack files it created in the pack-cache
directory, and prune rarely used ones from it.

It supersedes git-rename by adding functionality to move multiple

The implementation renames multiple files, using the arguments from

a first pass, all requested renames are checked for errors, and
overwriting of existing files is only allowed with '-f'.  The actual
renaming is done in a second pass.  This ensures that any error

ac1b3d1248 Split up tree diff functions into tree-diff.c library
This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree"
program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file.

This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a
specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history.

Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves
some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.

The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the
diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.

Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree
itself.

e1b10391ea Use git config file for committer name and email info
This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing.  This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.

The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately.  And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.

In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.

It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

ec2d15118b Export template_dir in Makefile.
If somebody set template_dir in config.mak. Then git-init-db would be
compiled with the correct location but the templates would be installed
in the default location. Fix it.

f2d6a25627 Support custom build options in config.mak
With this patch, it is possible to store configuration options like
NO_CURL=YesPlease or NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease into a file named
config.mak, which will be included in the Makefile.

[jc: redone with suggestion from Daniel Barkalow to just use -include]

17712991a5 Add ".git/config" file parser
This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.

The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:

	#
	# This is the config file, and
	# a '#' or ';' character indicates
	# a comment
	#

	; core variables
	[core]
		; Don't trust file modes
		filemode = false

	; Our diff algorithm
	[diff]
		external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
		renames = true

which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.

Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.

Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.
