912b2acf2f http: add http.savecookies option to write out HTTP cookies
HTTP servers may send Set-Cookie headers in a response and expect them
to be set on subsequent requests. By default, libcurl behavior is to
store such cookies in memory and reuse them across requests within a
single session. However, it may also make sense, depending on the
server and the cookies, to store them across sessions. Provide users
an option to enable this behavior, writing cookies out to the same
file specified in http.cookiefile.

35035bbf07 send-email: be explicit with SSL certificate verification
When initiating an SSL connection without explicitly specifying the
SSL certificate verification mode, Net::SMTP::SSL defaults to no
verification, but recent versions of the module gives a warning
against this use of the default.

Enable certificate verification by default, using /etc/ssl/certs as
the default path for certificates of certificate authorities.  This
path can be overriden by the --smtp-ssl-cert-path command line
option and the sendemail.smtpSSLCertPath configuration variable.

Passing an empty string as the path for CA certificates path disables
the SSL certificate verification explicitly, which does not trigger
the warning from recent versions of Net::SMTP::SSL.

737c5a9cde fetch: make --prune configurable
Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever.  Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".

To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":

 - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.

 - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.

The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.

Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

f66450ae94 cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.

Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

3b8d2765c7 Merge branch 'jc/triangle-push-fixup'
Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from.  This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.

The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.

. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
  remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
  integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.

. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
  will be the safe default in Git 2.0.

  In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
  between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
  branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
  current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
  the central repository).

  In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
  the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid
  surprises in some way.

ed2b18292b push: change simple to accommodate triangular workflows
When remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote is set to a
remote that is different from where you usually fetch from (i.e. a
triangular workflow), master@{u} != origin, and push.default is set
to `upstream` or `simple` would fail with this error:

  $ git push
  fatal: You are pushing to remote 'origin', which is not the upstream of
  your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push
  to update which remote branch.

The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for
use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new
meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as before.

However, the `simple` does not have to share this error.  It is
poised to be the default for Git 2.0, and we would like it to do
something sensible in triangular workflows.

Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as
before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow.

We may want to make it "safer current", but that is a separate
issue.

4c7f1819b3 make color.ui default to 'auto'
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").

Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.

These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.

A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.

A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.

The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

587947750b rebase: implement --[no-]autostash and rebase.autostash
This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree or
index.  It works by creating a temporary "dangling merge commit" out
of the worktree and index changes (via 'git stash create'), and
automatically applying it after a successful rebase or abort.

rebase stores the SHA-1 hex of the temporary merge commit, along with
the rest of the rebase state, in either
.git/{rebase-merge,rebase-apply}/autostash depending on the kind of
rebase.  Since $state_dir is automatically removed at the end of a
successful rebase or abort, so is the autostash.

The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user.  This
means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual.

When the autostash application results in a conflict, we push
$state_dir/autostash onto the normal stash and remove $state_dir
ending the rebase.  The user can inspect the stash, and pop or drop at
any time.

Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with
pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the
require_clean_work_tree restriction.

daebaa7813 upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.

Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable.  Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable.  As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.

Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).

Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.

An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected.  This
is not a new restriction.  To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs.  I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit".  The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

may find 'pull.default = tracking' and wonder what it means, but
earlier we stopped mentioning this value, even though the code still
support it and more importantly, we have no intention to force old
timers to update their configuration files.

Instead of not mentioning it, add it to the description in a way
that makes it clear that users have no reason to add new uses of it
preferring over 'upstream', by not listing it as a separate item on
the same footing as other values but as a deprecated synonym of the
'upstream' in its description.

75e5c0dc55 push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:

 * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
 * the object we are pushing is not a commit,

it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge".  We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.

If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged.  In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time.  And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage.  As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.

In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.

Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

c08e4d5b5c Enable minimal stat checking
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.

Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.

This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

06b1abb5bd submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes
The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1).  Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1.  This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.

However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject.  Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:

  $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates.  When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch.  If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`.  You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).

Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================

Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option.  The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in

  commit f030c96d86
  Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
  Date:   Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000

    git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable

Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.

Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same.  The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls.  The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`.  Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.

Implementation details
======================

In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1.  However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:

  if test -z "$nofetch"
  then
    # Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
    # is not reachable from a ref.
    (clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
      ( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
       test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
    die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
  fi

There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository.  If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

8c473cecfd mailmap: default mailmap.blob in bare repositories
The motivation for mailmap.blob is to let users of bare
repositories use the mailmap feature, as they would not have
a checkout containing the .mailmap file. We can make it even
easier for them by just looking in HEAD:.mailmap by default.

We can't know for sure that this is where they would keep a
mailmap, of course, but it is the best guess (and it matches
the non-bare behavior, which reads from HEAD:.mailmap in the
working tree). If it's missing, git will silently ignore the
setting.

We do not do the same magic in the non-bare case, because:

  1. In the common case, HEAD:.mailmap will be the same as
     the .mailmap in the working tree, which is a no-op.

  2. In the uncommon case, the user has modified .mailmap
     but not yet committed it, and would expect the working
     tree version to take precedence.

3a599b832b Documentation: improve the example of overriding LESS via core.pager
You can override an option set in the LESS variable by simply prefixing
the command line option with `-+`. This is more robust than the previous
example if the default LESS options are to ever change.

84befcd0a4 grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting
The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.

Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.

When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.

14bf2d58bc am: indicate where a failed patch is to be found
If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know
where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can
do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat"
to see what it tried to change, etc.)  The input to "am" may have
contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME
encoded, and knowing what the user fed to "am" does not help very
much for this purpose.

Also introduce advice.amworkdir configuration to allow people who
learned where to look to squelch this message.

Teaches git to normalize pathnames read from readdir(3) and all
arguments from the command line into precomposed UTF-8 (assuming
that they come as decomposed UTF-8) to work around issues on Mac OS.

I think there still are other places that need conversion
(e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this
should be a good first step in the right direction.

76759c7dff git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA.  When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.

Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".

As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode.  Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode.  When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.

The unicode decomposition causes many problems:

- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
  often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
  from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
  to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
  filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.

- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
  compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
  precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
  be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
  be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
  consistency in general).

- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
  precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
  readdir().

NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.

As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can

 - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and

 - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
   precomposed form,

to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form.  This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.

The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv().  The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.

The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line.  It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.

When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".

The user needs to activate this feature manually.  She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

dc79687e0b Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

 1. to create such a file,

 2. and add configuration variable to point at it.

Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.

And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config).  The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.
