the "<branch>" parameter is treated differently in the two

it is really a start-point for branch creation).

Most of description for the branch creation options is
simply cut and paste from git-branch. There are two reasons
to fix this:
1. It can grow stale with respect to what's in "git
branch" (which it is now is).
2. It is not just an implementation detail, but rather the
desired mental model for the command that we are using
"git branch" here. Being explicit about that can help
the user understand what is going on.
It also makes sense to strip the branch creation options
from the synopsis, as they are making it a long,
hard-to-read line. They are still easily discovered by
reading the options list, and --track is explicitly
referenced when branch creation is described.

The term "tracking" often creates confusion between remote
tracking branches and local branches which track a remote
branch. The term "upstream" captures more clearly the idea
of "branch A is based on branch B in some way", so it makes
sense to mention it.
At the same time, upstream branches are used for more
than just git-pull these days; let's mention that here.

In particular, pushing the "path_name()" call _into_ the show() function
would seem to allow
- more clarity into who "owns" the name (ie now when we free the name in
the show_object callback, it's because we generated it ourselves by
calling path_name())
- not calling path_name() at all, either because we don't care about the
name in the first place, or because we are actually happy walking the
linked list of "struct name_path *" and the last component.
Now, I didn't do that latter optimization, because it would require some
more coding, but especially looking at "builtin-pack-objects.c", we really
don't even want the whole pathname, we really would be better off with the
list of path components.
Why? We use that name for two things:
- add_preferred_base_object(), which actually _wants_ to traverse the
path, and now does it by looking for '/' characters!
- for 'name_hash()', which only cares about the last 16 characters of a
name, so again, generating the full name seems to be just unnecessary
work.
Anyway, so I didn't look any closer at those things, but it did convince
me that the "show_object()" calling convention was crazy, and we're
actually better off doing _less_ in list-objects.c, and giving people
access to the internal data structures so that they can decide whether
they want to generate a path-name or not.
This patch does that, and then for people who did use the name (even if
they might do something more clever in the future), it just does the
straightforward "name = path_name(path, component); .. free(name);" thing.

Here's a less trivial thing, and slightly more dubious one.
I was looking at that "struct object_array objects", and wondering why we
do that. I have honestly totally forgotten. Why not just call the "show()"
function as we encounter the objects? Rather than add the objects to the
object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a
'show' on all, just do things more incrementally.
Now, there are possible downsides to this:
- the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least
better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out
one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory..
- this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a
"process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop
over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object
list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and
then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree
object together with the objects we discover under it)
I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object
ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing
efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for
packing. Good or bad, I dunno.
- There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object
array, that I have simply forgotten.
Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them
that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole
traverse_commit_list() phase.
This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems
to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but...
Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be
an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due
to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are
horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't
do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it.
Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is.

The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.
A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.

Ack, ack.
There's another easy 5% or so for the built-in object walker: once we've
created the hash from the name, the name isn't interesting any more, and
so something trivial like this can help a bit.
Does it matter? Probably not on its own. But a few more memory saving

This test was added recently (5a688fe, "core.sharedrepository = 0mode"
should set, not loosen; 2009-03-28). It checked the result of a sed
invocation for emptyness, but in some cases it forgot to print anything
at all, so that those checks would never be false.
Due to this mistake, it went unnoticed that the files in objects/info are
not necessarily 0440, but can also be 0660. Because the 0mode setting
tries to guarantee that the files are accessible only to the people they
are meant to be used by, we should only make sure that they are readable
by the user and the group when the configuration is set to 0660. It is a
separate matter from the core.shredrepository settings that w-bit from
immutable object files under objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f] directories should
be dropped.
COMMIT_EDITMSG is still world-readable, but it (and any transient files
that are meant for repositories with a work tree) does not matter. If you
are working on a shared machine and on a sekrit stuff, the root of the
work tree would be with mode 0700 (or 0750 to allow peeking by other
people in the group), and that would mean that .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG in such
a repository would not be readable by the strangers anyway.
Also, in the real-world use case, .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG will be given to an
arbitrary editor the user happens to use, and we have no guarantee what it
does (e.g. it may create a new file with umask and replace, it may rewrite
in place, it may leave an editor backup file but use umask to create it,
etc.), and the protection of the file lies majorly on the protection of
the root of the work tree.
This test cannot be run on Windows; it requires POSIXPERM when merged to
'master'.

With "git add -e [<files>]", Git will fire up an editor with the current
diff relative to the index (i.e. what you would get with "git diff
[<files>]").
Now you can edit the patch as much as you like, including adding/removing
lines, editing the text, whatever. Make sure, though, that the first
character of the hunk lines is still a space, a plus or a minus.
After you closed the editor, Git will adjust the line counts of the hunks
if necessary, thanks to the --recount option of apply, and commit the
patch. Except if you deleted everything, in which case nothing happens
(for obvious reasons).

I told people on the kernel mailing list to please use "-M" when sending
me rename patches, so that I can see what they do while reading email
rather than having to apply the patch and then look at the end result.
I also told them that if they want to make it the default, they can just
add
[diff]
renames
to their ~/.gitconfig file. And while I was thinking about that, I wanted
to also check whether you can then mark individual projects to _not_ have
that default in the per-repository .git/config file.
And you can't. Currently you cannot have a global "enable renames by
default" and then a local ".. but not for _this_ project". Why? Because if
somebody writes
[diff]
renames = no
we simply ignore it, rather than resetting "diff_detect_rename_default"
back to zero.
Fixed thusly.

This adds a row context menu command to compare this commit and its
descendants with the marked commit and its descendants. The results
are shown in the bottom-left pane. Commits are compared by checking
whether their headlines are the same and their patches have the same
patch ID as generated by git patch-id.
Merges are ignored and skipped over (as long as they have one
descendant). If two commits have the same patch ID then the process
will continue and compare their descendants, as long as they both have
exactly one descendant. If either commit has 0 or 2 or more descendants,
the comparison stops there. There is currently a limit of 100
comparisons.
This can be useful for checking whether one string of commits is just
a rebased version of another string of commits. Mark the end of one
string (i.e. the oldest commit in the string) and invoke "Compare with
marked commit" on the end of the other string.
As this is implemented, the UI will be unresponsive while the results
are being generated. This should be fixed.
