c308b9c25d documentation: clarify direction of core.autocrlf
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to
"the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which
technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other
mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS)..").

Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term
"work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in
the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which
makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters
occurs in.

fff0d0abdd Document new "already-merged" rule for branch -d
v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the
branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic
for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue.  It
is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if:

 - the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking,
   usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or

 - there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is
   fully merged in the current HEAD.

Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules.

882749a04f diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-words
This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:

* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
  'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}

* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
  format:
  - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
    in unified diff
  - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
    tilde '~'

Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences.  --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format.  Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

69cf7bfd13 send-email: Cleanup smtp-domain and add config
The way the code stored --smtp-domain was unlike its handling of other
similar options.  Bring it in line with the others by:

- Renaming $mail_domain to $smtp_domain to match the command line
  option. Also move its declaration from near the top of the file to
  near other option variables.

- Removing $mail_domain_default.  The variable was used once and only
  served to move the default away from where it gets used.

- Adding a sendemail.smtpdomain config option.  smtp-domain was the
  only SMTP configuration option that couldn't be set in the user's
  .gitconfig.

cf87463e79 Rename ONE_FILESYSTEM to DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.

Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

e640551773 GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundaries
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:

    I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
    multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
    seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
    having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
    no?

The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2).  This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem".  Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)

This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src.  But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

d9bae1a178 diff: cache textconv output
Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's
particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled
to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead
can add up for something like "git log -p".

This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast
cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in
refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver
defined in gitattributes.

Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true.

In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files
changed and a textconv to show their exif tags:

  [before]
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m13.724s
  user    0m12.057s
  sys     0m1.624s

  [after, first run]
  $ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m14.252s
  user    0m12.197s
  sys     0m1.800s

  [after, subsequent runs]
  $ time git show >/dev/null
  real    0m0.352s
  user    0m0.148s
  sys     0m0.200s

So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an
almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.

b499549401 Teach rebase the --no-ff option.
For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.

For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.

--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges.  Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different).  This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly.  Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

4916c8f953 imap-send: Remove limitation on message body
There is a documented limitation on the body of any email not being
able to contain lines starting with "From ". This patch removes that
limitation by improving the parser to search for "From", "Date", and
"Subject" fields in the email before considering it to be an email.

9db5ebf402 git checkout: create unparented branch by --orphan
Similar to -b, --orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any
commit.  After running "git checkout --orphan newbranch", you are on a
new branch "newbranch", and the first commit you create from this state
will start a new history without any ancestry.

"git checkout --orphan" keeps the index and the working tree files
intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose
trees resemble the ones from the original branch.

When creating a branch whose trees have no resemblance to the ones from
the original branch, it may be easier to start work on the new branch by
untracking and removing all working tree files that came from the
original branch, by running a 'git rm -rf .' immediately after running
"checkout --orphan".

a3cfb7f83f Documentation/urls: Remove spurious example markers
In urls.txt (which is included from git-{clone,fetch,push}.txt)
several item lists are surrounded by example block markers. This is
problematic for two reasons:

- None of these lists are example lists, so they should not be marked as
  such semantically.
- The html output looks weird (bulleted list with left sidebar).

Therefore, remove the example block markers. Output by the man backend
is unaffected.

bce02c1b4d everyday: fsck and gc are not everyday operations
Back in 2005 when this document was written, it may have made sense to
introduce ‘git fsck’ (then ‘git fsck-objects’) as the very first example
command for new users of Git 0.99.9.  Now that Git has been stable for
years and does not actually tend to eat your data, it makes significantly
less sense.  In fact, it sends an entirely wrong message.

‘git gc’ is also unnecessary for the purposes of this document, especially
with gc.auto enabled by default.

The only other commands in the “Basic Repository” section were ‘git init’
and ‘git clone’.  ‘clone’ is already listed in the “Participant” section,
so move ‘init’ to the “Standalone” section and get rid of “Basic
Repository” entirely.

66d6819984 git-notes(1): add a section about the meaning of history
To the displaying code, the only interesting thing about a notes ref
is that it has a tree of the required format.  However, notes actually
have a history since they are recorded as successive commits.

Make a note about the existence of this history in the manpage, but
keep some doors open if we want to change the details.

6956f858f6 notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewrite
Implement helper functions to load the rewriting config, and to
actually copy the notes.  Also document the config.

Secondly, also implement an undocumented --for-rewrite=<cmd> option to
'git notes copy' which is used like --stdin, but also puts the
configuration for <cmd> into effect.  It will be needed to support the
copying in git-rebase.

160baa0d9c notes: implement 'git notes copy --stdin'
This implements a mass-copy command that takes a sequence of lines in
the format

  <from-sha1> SP <to-sha1> [ SP <rest> ] LF

on stdin, and copies each <from-sha1>'s notes to the <to-sha1>.  The
<rest> is ignored.  The intent, of course, is that this can read the
same input that the 'post-rewrite' hook gets.

The copy_note() function is exposed for everyone's and in particular
the next commit's use.

c0fc686911 Documentation: document post-rewrite hook
This defines the behaviour of the post-rewrite hook support, which
will be implemented in the following patches.

We deliberately do not document how often the hook will be invoked per
rewriting command, but the interface is designed to keep that at
"once".  This would currently not matter too much, since both rebase
and filter-branch are shellscripts and spawn many processes anyway.
However, when a fast sequencer in C is implemented, it will be
beneficial to only have to run the hook once.

55f638bdc6 grep: Colorize filename, line number, and separator
Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as
GNU grep does.  The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>.
The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives
the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with
colors.  GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to
magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well.

There is one difference from GNU grep: When a binary file matches
without -a, GNU grep does not color the <file> in "Binary file <file>
matches", but we do.

Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored.

For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than
a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable.

Remove the cast to int for `rm_eo - rm_so` since it is not necessary.
