For some reason, I ended up doing
git show HEAD~5..
as an odd way of asking for a log. I realize I should just have used "git
log", but at the same time it does make perfect conceptual sense. After
all, you _could_ have done
git show HEAD HEAD~1 HEAD~2 HEAD~3 HEAD~4
and saying "git show HEAD~5.." is pretty natural. It's not like "git show"
only ever showed a single commit (or other object) before either! So
conceptually, giving a commit range is a very sensible operation, even
though you'd traditionally have used "git log" for that.
However, doing that currently results in an error
fatal: object ranges do not make sense when not walking revisions
which admittedly _also_ makes perfect sense - from an internal git
implementation standpoint in 'revision.c'.
However, I think that asking to show a range makes sense to a user, while
saying "object ranges no not make sense when not walking revisions" only
makes sense to a git developer.
So on the whole, of the two different "makes perfect sense" behaviors, I
think I originally picked the wrong one. And quite frankly, I don't really
see anybody actually _depending_ on that error case. So why not change it?
So rather than error out, just turn that non-walking error case into a
"silently turn on walking" instead.

SVN allows uppercase A-F characters in repositories. Although
`svnadmin' does not create UUIDs with uppercase by default, it
is possible to change the UUID of a SVN repository and SVN
itself will make no attempt to normalize them.

For the case of multiple projects sharing a single SVN repository, it is
common practice to create the standard SVN directory layout within a
subdirectory for each project. In such setups, access control is often
used to limit what projects a given user may access. git-svn failed to
detect branches (e.g. when passing --stdlayout to clone) because it
relied on having access to the root directory in the repository. This
patch solves this problem by making git-svn use paths relative to the
given repository URL instead of the repository root.

quickfetch() calls rev-list to check whether the objects we are about to
fetch are already present in the repo (if so, we can skip the object fetch).
However, when there are many (~1000) refs to be fetched, the rev-list
command line grows larger than the maximum command line size on some systems
(32K in Windows). This causes rev-list to fail, making quickfetch() return
non-zero, which unnecessarily triggers the transport machinery. This somehow
causes fetch to fail with an exit code.
By using the --stdin option to rev-list (and feeding the object list to its
standard input), we prevent the overflow of the rev-list command line,
which causes quickfetch(), and subsequently the overall fetch, to succeed.
However, using rev-list --stdin is not entirely straightforward: rev-list
terminates immediately when encountering an unknown object, which can
trigger SIGPIPE if we are still writing object's to its standard input.
We therefore temporarily ignore SIGPIPE so that the fetch process is not
terminated.
The patch also contains a testcase to verify the fix (note that before
the patch, the testcase would only fail on msysGit).

Don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE
Do define _SGI_SOURCE
Defining _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents many of the common functions and macros
from being defined. _Not_ setting _XOPEN_SOURCE, and instead setting
_SGI_SOURCE, provides all of the XPG4, XPG5, BSD, POSIX functions and
declarations, _BUT_ provides a horribly broken snprintf(). SGI does have
a working snprintf(), but it is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates
to zero, and this only happens if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined which, as
mentioned above, prevents many other common functions and defines.
The broken snprintf will be worked around with SNPRINTF_RETURNS_BOGUS in
the Makefile in a later patch.

The c99 MIPSpro Compiler version 7.4.4m on IRIX 6.5 does not properly
initialize run-time initialized arrays. An array which is initialized with
fewer elements than the length of the array should have the unitialized
elements initialized to zero. This compiler only initializes the remaining
elements when the last element is a static parameter. So work around it
by adding a "NULL" initialization parameter.

This uses the new thread-safe 'threaded_has_symlink_leading_path()'
function to efficiently verify that the whole path leading up to the
filename is a proper path, and does not contain symlinks.
This makes 'ce_uptodate()' a much stronger guarantee: it no longer just
guarantees that the 'lstat()' of the path would match, it also means
that we know that people haven't played games with moving directories
around and covered it up with symlinks.

When a git command executes a subcommand, it uses the "git
foo" form, which relies on finding "git" in the PATH.
Normally this should not be a problem, since the same "git"
that was used to invoke git in the first place will be
found. And if somebody invokes a "git" outside of the PATH
(e.g., by giving its absolute path), this case is already
covered: we put that absolute path onto the front of PATH.
However, if one is using "sudo", then sudo will execute the
"git" from the PATH, but pass along a restricted PATH that
may not contain the original "git" directory. In this case,
executing a subcommand will fail.
To solve this, we put the "git" wrapper itself into the
execdir; this directory is prepended to the PATH when git
starts, so the wrapper will always be found.

Most of the users of "read_directory()" actually want a much simpler
interface than the whole complex (but rather powerful) one.
In fact 'git add' had already largely abstracted out the core interface
issues into a private "fill_directory()" function that was largely
applicable almost as-is to a number of callers. Yes, 'git add' wants to
do some extra work of its own, specific to the add semantics, but we can
easily split that out, and use the core as a generic function.
This function does exactly that, and now that much simplified
'fill_directory()' function can be shared with a number of callers,
while also ensuring that the rather more complex calling conventions of
read_directory() are used by fewer call-sites.
This also makes the 'common_prefix()' helper function private to dir.c,
since all callers are now in that file.

git-format-patch prepends patches with a [PATCH x/n] prefix, but
mailinfo used to remove any number of square-bracket pairs and
the content between them. This prevents one from using a commit
subject like this:
[ and ] must be allowed as input
Removing the square bracket pair from this rather clumsily
constructed subject line loses important information, so we must
take care not to.
This patch causes the subject stripping to stop after it has
encountered one pair of square brackets.
One possible downside of this patch is that the patch-handling
programs will now fail at removing author-added square-brackets
to be removed, such as
[RFC][PATCH x/n]
However, since format-patch only adds one set of square brackets,
this behaviour is quite easily undesrstood and defended while the
previous behaviour is not.
