* maint-1.5.1:
Fix git-svn to handle svn not reporting the md5sum of a file, and test.
More echo "$user_message" fixes.
Add tests for the last two fixes.
git-commit: use printf '%s\n' instead of echo on user-supplied strings
git-am: use printf instead of echo on user-supplied strings
Documentation: Add definition of "evil merge" to GIT Glossary
Replace the last 'dircache's by 'index'
Documentation: Clean up links in GIT Glossary
This fixes the same issue git-am had, which was fixed by Jeff
King in the previous commit. Cleverly enough, this commit's log
message is a good test case at the same time.

This corrects the interface mistake of the previous one, and
gives a command line parameter to the only plumbing command that
currently needs it: "git-read-tree".
We can add the calls to set_alternate_index_output() to other
plumbing commands that update the index if/when needed.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.
However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

This makes git-status work semi-decently in a read-only
repository. Earlier, the command simply died with "cannot lock
the index file" before giving any useful information to the
user.
Because index won't be updated in a read-only repository,

We used to get the following confusing error message:
$ git commit --amend -a -m foo
Option -m cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F
This is because --amend cannot be combined with -c/-C/-F, which makes
sense, because they try to handle the same log message in different ways.

* jc/int:
More tests in t3901.
Consistent message encoding while reusing log from an existing commit.
t3901: test "format-patch | am" pipe with i18n
Use log output encoding in --pretty=email headers.
The following commands can reuse log message from an existing
commit while creating a new commit:
git-cherry-pick
git-rebase (both with and without --merge)
git-commit (-c and -C)
When the original commit was made in a different encoding from
the current i18n.commitencoding, "cat-file commit" would give a
string that is inconsistent with what the resulting commit will
claim to be in. Replace them with "git show -s --encoding".
"git-rebase" without --merge is "git format-patch" piped to "git
am" in essence, and has been taken care of before this commit.

Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare

working directory associated with it.

If a user modifies files and runs 'git commit' (without the very
useful -a option) and they have not yet updated the index they
are probably coming from another SCM-like tool which would perform
the same as 'git commit -a' in this case. Showing the user their
current status and a final line of "nothing to commit" is not very
reassuring, as the user might believe that Git did not recognize
their files were modified.
Instead we can suggest as part of the 'nothing to commit' message
that the user invoke 'git add' to add files to their next commit.

Documentation/git-commit: rewrite to make it more end-user friendly.
make 'git add' a first class user friendly interface to the index
The command used to have a safety valve to prevent this sequence:
edit foo
git update-index foo
edit foo
git diff foo
git commit --only foo
The reason for this was because an inexperienced user might
mistakenly think what is shown with the last-minute diff
contains all the change that is being committed (instead, what
the user asked to check was an incremental diff since what has
been staged so far). However, this turns out to only annoy
people who know what they are doing. Inexperienced people
would not be using the first "update-index" anyway, in which
case they would see the full changes in the "git diff".

In a busy project, reverting a commit almost always results
in a conflict between one or more files (depending on the
commit being reverted). It is useful to record this
conflict in the commit-to-be message of the resulting commit
(after the resolve). The process now becomes:
git-revert <SHA-1>
<git complains and prints failed automatic>
<user manually resolves>
git-update-index <resolved files>
git-commit -s
And the commit message is now a merge of the revert commit
message and the conflict commit message, giving the user a
chance to edit it or add more information:

This updates the use of git-update-ref in git-branch, git-tag
and git-commit to make them safer in a few corner cases as
demonstration.
- git-tag makes sure that the named tag does not exist, allows
you to edit tag message and then creates the tag. If a tag
with the same name was created by somebody else in the
meantime, it used to happily overwrote it. Now it notices
the situation.
- git-branch -d and git-commit (for the initial commit) had the
same issue but with smaller race window, which is plugged
with this.

This creates a new git-runstatus which should do roughly the same thing
as the run_status function from git-commit.sh. Except for color support,
the main focus has been to keep the output identical, so that it can be
verified as correct and then used as a C platform for other improvements to
the status printing code.

If committing a merge (.git/MERGE_HEAD exists), an initial tree
(no HEAD) or using --amend to amend the prior commit then denote
the subtype of commit in the reflog. This helps to distinguish
amended or merge commits from normal commits.
In the case of --amend the prior sha1 is probably the commit which
is being thrown away in favor of the new commit. Since it is likely
that the old commit doesn't have any ref pointing to it anymore
it can be interesting to know why that the commit was replaced
and orphaned.
In the case of a merge the prior sha1 is probably the first parent
of the new merge commit. Consequently having its prior sha1 in the
reflog is slightly less interesting but its still informative to
know the commit was the result of a merge which had to be completed
by hand.

The current behaviour strips out lines starting with a # even when fed
through stdin or -m. This is particularly bad when importing history from
another SCM (tailor 0.9.23 uses git-commit). In the best cases all lines
are stripped and the commit fails with a confusing "empty log message"
error, but in many cases the commit is done, with loss of information.
Note that it is quite peculiar to just have "#" handled as a leading
comment char here. One commonly meet CVS: or CG: or STG: as prefixes, and
using GIT: would be more robust as well as consistent with other commit
tools. However, that would break any tool relying on the # (if any).

Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch,
recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is
reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of
the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the
cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked
off again from that point at the mainline.
The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does
not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by
using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a
strict superset of the mainline, like this:
git checkout mainline
git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any
rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast
forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never
create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing
special --no-commit could do to begin with.
This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a
workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge
case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases:
git checkout mainline
git pull --squash . that-topic-branch
: fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be
: no conflict if fast forward.
git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged
When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to
the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new
option does not have any effect.
This was brought up in #git IRC channel recently.
