little less subtle for the end user. It also allows relative

The --local flag is not "treat this like a local
repository", but rather "if we are local, turn on
optimizations". Therefore it does nothing in the case of:
git clone --local file:///path/to/repo

This comment warns about a bug in asciidoc 6, and points to
a patch from 2005. Since we don't even support versions of
asciidoc that old, we can safely get rid of the warning.

When we made the switch to supporting asciidoc 8 in 4c7100a
(Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8, 2007-06-14), we were
able to leave most of the documentation intact by defining
asciidoc7compatible.
Since commit 6cf378f (docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal,
2012-04-26), we don't support versions of asciidoc older
than 8.4.1, which is when inline literals were introduced.
Therefore there is not much point in keeping our
documentation compatible with asciidoc 7.
So we are now free to drop the asciidoc7compatible flag and
update the documentation itself to assume asciidoc8.
Fortunately, doing the latter is very easy; we weren't using
any of the constructs impacted by asciidoc7compatible, so
there are no changes to make.
The reason is somewhat subtle. The asciidoc7compatible
affects only super/sub-scripts ("^" and "~") and index
terms. We don't use the latter at all. Nor we do we use the
former, but we did have to protect them from accidental
expansion in constructs like "rev^1". However, all of our
uses of "~" and "^" are either in code blocks (which are
rendered literally), or inside backticks. Prior to 6cf378f,
backticks were not inline literals, and needed proper
quoting. But post-6cf378f, we don't have to worry whether we
are using the old or new rules, as those characters are not
interpreted at all in either case.
I verified that the result of "make install-html
install-man" is identical before and after this patch on
asciidoc 8.6.7.

The earlier "--keep-redundant-commit" series broke "cherry-pick"
that is given a commit whose change is already in the current
history. Such a cherry-pick would result in an empty change, and
should stop with an error, telling the user that conflict resolution
may have made the result empty (which is exactly what is happening),
but we silently dropped the change on the floor without any message
nor non-zero exit code.

Since 2cd9de3e (submodule add: always initialize .git/config entry) the
message "Submodule '\$name' (\$url) registered for path '\$sm_path'" is
printed every time cmd_init() is called, e.g. each time "git submodule
update" is used with the --init option.
This was not intended and leads to bogus output which can confuse users
and build systems. Apart from that the $url variable was not set after the
first run which did the actual initialization and only "()" was printed
in subsequent runs where "($url)" was meant to inform the user about the
upstream repo.
Fix that by moving the say command in question into the if block where the
url is initialized, restoring the behavior that was in place before the
2cd9de3e commit. While at it also remove the comment which still describes
the logic used before 2cd9de3e and add a comment about how things work now.

1. It chdir'd all over the place, leaving later tests to
deal with the fallout. Do our chdirs in subshells
instead.
2. It did not use test_must_fail.
3. It did not use test_line_count.
4. It checked for the non-existence of a ref by looking in the
.git/refs directory (since we pack refs during clone
these days, this will always be succeed, making the
test useless).
Note that one call to "-e .git/refs/..." remains,
because it is checking for the existence of a symbolic

Before this patch, a character deletion has the same cost as 2 swaps, or
4 additions, so Git prefers suggesting a completely scrambled command
name to removing a character. For example, "git tags" suggests "stage",
but not "tag".
By setting the deletion cost to 3, we keep it higher than swaps or
additions, but prefer 1 deletion to 2 swaps. "git tags" now suggests
"tag" in addition to staged.

git-svn.perl is very long (around 6500 lines) and although it is
nicely split into modules, some new readers do not even notice --- it
is too distracting to see all this functionality collected in a single
file.
Splitting it into multiple files would make it easier for people
to read individual modules straight through and to experiment with
components separately.
Let's start with Git::SVN::Prompt. For simplicity, we install this as
a module in the standard search path, just like the existing Git and
Git::I18N modules. In the process, add a manpage explaining its
interface and that it is not likely to be useful for other projects to
avoid confusion.

When a submodule repository uses alternate object store mechanism, some

failed with "No such object" errors. The subcommands of "git submodule"

only the ones that cheated and peeked directly into the submodule's

When adding the information from a tag, put an empty line between the
message of the tag and the commented-out signature verification
information.
At least for the kernel workflow, I often end up re-formatting the message
that people send me in the tag data. In that situation, putting the tag
message and the tag signature verification back-to-back then means that
normal editor "reflow parapgraph" command will get confused and think that
the signature is a continuation of the last message paragraph.
So I always end up having to first add an empty line, and then go back and
reflow the last paragraph. Let's just do it in git directly.
The extra vertical space also makes the verification visually stand out
more from the user-supplied message, so it looks a bit more readable to me
too, but that may be just an odd personal preference.

From the FILES section of the git-config(1) manual:
$GIT_DIR/config::
Repository specific configuration file. (The filename is
of course relative to the repository root, not the working
directory.)
That's confusing because $GIT_DIR really is relative to the working
directory.
$ GIT_DIR=.git GIT_EDITOR='pwd; echo editing'
$ export GIT_DIR GIT_EDITOR
$ git config --edit --local
/home/jrn/src/git/Documentation
editing .git/config
It turns out that the comment is a remnant from older days when the
heading said ".git/config" (which is indeed relative to the top of the
worktree).
It was only when the heading was changed to refer more precisely to
<git dir>/config (see v1.5.3.2~18, AsciiDoc tweak to avoid leading
dot, 2007-09-14) that the parenthesis stopped making sense. Remove
