ac378633f3 git-new-workdir: Share SVN meta data between work dirs and the repository
Multiple work dirs with git svn caused each work dir to have its own
stale copy of the SVN meta data in .git/svn

git svn rebase updates commits with git-svn-id: in the repository and
stores the SVN meta data information only in that work dir.  Attempting to
git svn rebase in other work dirs for the same branch would fail because
the last revision fetched according to the git-svn-id is greater than the
revision in the SVN meta data for that work directory.

fac4b32887 Fix recent 'unpack_trees()'-related changes breaking 'git stash'

Damn, this series has had more subtle issues than I ever expected.

'git stash' creates its saved working tree object with:

        # state of the working tree
        w_tree=$( (
                rm -f "$TMP-index" &&
                cp -p ${GIT_INDEX_FILE-"$GIT_DIR/index"} "$TMP-index" &&
                GIT_INDEX_FILE="$TMP-index" &&
                export GIT_INDEX_FILE &&
                git read-tree -m $i_tree &&
                git add -u &&
                git write-tree &&
                rm -f "$TMP-index"
        ) ) ||
                die "Cannot save the current worktree state"

which creates a new index file with the updates, and writes the tree from
that.

We have this logic where we compare the timestamp of the index with the
timestamp of the files and we then write them out "smudged" if they are
the same, and it basically depends on the fact that the date on the index
file is compared with the date encoded in the stat information itself.

And what is going on is:

 - we create a new index file with that "cp". We are careful to preserve
   the timestamps by using "-p", so this one should be all ok.

 - then we *update* that index by resetting it to the tree with git
   read-tree, but now we do *not* preserve the timestamp on this new copy
   any more, even though we copy over all the timestamps on the files that
   are indexed from the stat information!

Now, we always had that problem when re-writing the index, but we had this
clever workaround in the writing part: if the source had racily clean
entries, then when we wrote those out (and thus can't depend on the index
fiel timestamp showing that they are racily clean any more!), we would
smudge them when writing.

IOW, we handle this issue by having write_index() do this:

	for (i = 0; i < entries; i++) {
		...
		if (is_racy_timestamp(istate, ce))
			ce_smudge_racily_clean_entry(ce);
		..

when writing out entries. And that all took care of it, because now when
we wrote the new index, we'd change the timestamp on the index, yes, but
we'd smudge the entries we wrote out, so now the resulting index would
still show that file as not-up-to-date any more.

But with commit 34110cd4e3 ("Make
'unpack_trees()' have a separate source and destination index"), this
logic no longer triggers, because we now write out the "result" index, and
that one never got its timestamp updated from the source index, so it had
lost all that "is_racy_timestamp()" information!

This trivial patch fixes it. It looks trivial, and it's a simple fix, but
boy did it take me way too much thinking and explaining to myself to
explain why there was a problem in the first place!

The trivial fix is to just copy the index timestamp from the source index
into the result index. But we only do this if we *have* a source index, of
course, and if we will even bother to use the result.

442b3caaee git-gui: Don't translate the special Apple menu
Peter Karlsson pointed out there is no value in translating the
string "Apple", as this is used as the dummy label for the Apple
menu on Mac OS X systems.

The Apple menu is actually not the menu with the Apple corporate
logo, but the menu next to it, which shows the name of the
application and is typically called the application menu.  Most users
of git-gui see this menu titled as "Git Gui".  The actual label of
this menu comes from our Info.plist file and cannot be specified
by any other means.  Translating this string in the Tcl PO files
is not necessary.

621ff67594 rev-parse: fix meaning of rev~ vs rev~0.
I think it would make more sense for rev~ to have the same guarantees that
rev^ has, namely to always return a commit. I would also suggest that not
giving a number would have the same effect of defaulting to 1, not 0.

Right now it's a bit illogical, but at least it's an _undocumented_
illogical behaviour.

This patch makes '^' and '~' act the same for the default count (i.e. both
default to 1), and also have the same behaviour for a count of zero.

Before (no discernible pattern):

	[torvalds@woody git]$ git rev-parse v1.5.1 v1.5.1^0 v1.5.1~0 v1.5.1^ v1.5.1~
	45354a57ee
	89815cab95
	45354a57ee
	045f5759c9
	45354a57ee

After (fairly logical):

	[torvalds@woody git]$ git rev-parse v1.5.1 v1.5.1^0 v1.5.1~0 v1.5.1^ v1.5.1~
	45354a57ee

ed0b9d4309 git-svn: don't blindly append '*' to branch/tags config

Now, the following command will work correctly:

77e21533a9 web--browse: use custom commands defined at config time
Currently "git web--browse" is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the "browser.<tool>.path" to force "git
web--browse" to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.

This patch adds a git config variable "browser.<tool>.cmd" which
allows a more flexible browser choice.

If you run "git web--browse" with -t/--tool, -b/--browser or the
"web.browser" config variable set to an unrecognized tool then "git
web--browse" will query the "browser.<tool>.cmd" config variable. If
this variable exists, then "git web--browse" will treat the specified
tool as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command
with the URLs added as extra parameters.

ca885a4fe6 read-tree() and unpack_trees(): use consistent limit
read-tree -m can read up to MAX_TREES, which was arbitrarily set to 8 since
August 2007 (4 is needed to deal with 2 merge-base case).

However, the updated unpack_trees() code had an advertised limit of 4
(which it enforced).  In reality the code was prepared to take only 3
trees and giving 4 caused it to stomp on its stack.  Rename the MAX_TREES
constant to MAX_UNPACK_TREES, move it to the unpack-trees.h common header
file, and use it from both places to avoid future confusion.

This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".

aadbe44f88 grep portability fix: don't use "-e" or "-q"
System V versions of grep (such as Solaris /usr/bin/grep)
don't understand either of these options. git's usage of
"grep -e pattern" fell into one of two categories:

 1. equivalent to "grep pattern". -e is only useful here if
    the pattern begins with a "-", but all of the patterns
    are hardcoded and do not begin with a dash.

 2. stripping comments and blank lines with

      grep -v -e "^$" -e "^#"

    We can fortunately do this in the affirmative as

      grep '^[^#]'

Uses of "-q" can be replaced with redirection to /dev/null.
In many tests, however, "grep -q" is used as "if this string
is in the expected output, we are OK". In this case, it is
fine to just remove the "-q" entirely; it simply makes the
"verbose" mode of the test slightly more verbose.

67abd41716 git-p4: Unset P4DIFF environment variable when using 'p4 -du diff'
A custom diffing utility can be specified for the 'p4 diff' command by
setting the P4DIFF environment variable.  However when using a custom
diffing utility such as 'vimdiff' passing options like -du can cause
unexpected behavior.

Since the goal is to generate a unified diff of the changes and attach
them to the bottom of the p4 submit log we should unset P4DIFF if it
has been set in order to generate the diff properly.

e7951290f6 git fetch: Take '-n' to mean '--no-tags'
Prior to commit 8320199 (Rewrite builtin-fetch option parsing to use
parse_options().), we understood '-n' as a short option to mean "don't
fetch tags from the remote". This patch reinstates behaviour similar,
but not identical to the pre commit 8320199 times.

Back then, -n always overrode --tags, so if both --tags and -n was
given on command-line, no tags were fetched regardless of argument
ordering. Now we use a "last entry wins" strategy, so '-n --tags'
means "fetch tags".

Since it's patently absurd to say both --tags and --no-tags, this
shouldn't matter in practice.

25ee9731c1 gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.

Since it is dangerous, we told users so.  That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.

Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.

Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation.  This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).

If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be

	[gc]
		pruneExpire = 6.months.ago

or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.

Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.

While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.
