When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.
Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.
When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.
`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.
Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.
This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

Completing unstuck form of email aliases doesn't quite work:
$ git send-email --to <TAB>
alice bob cecil
$ git send-email --to a<TAB>
alice bob cecil
While listing email aliases works as expected, the second case should
just complete to 'alice', but it keeps offering all email aliases
instead.
The cause for this behavior is that in this case we mistakenly tell
__gitcomp() explicitly that the current word to be completed is empty,
while in reality it is not. As a result __gitcomp() doesn't filter
out non-matching aliases, so all aliases end up being offered over and
over again.
Fix this by not passing the current word to be completed to
__gitcomp() and letting it go the default route and grab it from the
'$cur' variable. Don't pass empty prefix either, because it's assumed
to be empty when unspecified, so it's not necessary.

Recenty I created a multi-line branch description with '.' and '='
characters on one of the lines, and noticed that fragments of that line
show up when completing set variable names for 'git config', e.g.:
$ git config --get branch.b.description
Branch description to fool the completion script with a
second line containing dot . and equals = characters.
$ git config --unset <TAB>
...
second line containing dot . and equals
...
The completion script runs 'git config --list' and processes its output
to strip the values and keep only the variable names. It does so by
looking for lines containing '.' and '=' and outputting everything
before the '=', which was fooled by my multi-line branch description.
A similar issue exists with aliases and pretty format aliases with
multi-line values, but in that case 'git config --get-regexp' is run and
lines in its output are simply stripped after the first space, so
subsequent lines don't even have to contain '.' and '=' to fool the
completion script.
Use the new '--name-only' option added in the previous commit to list
config variable names reliably in both cases, without error-prone post
processing.

'git config' can only show values or name-value pairs, so if a shell
script needs the names of set config variables it has to run 'git config
--list' or '--get-regexp' and parse the output to separate config
variable names from their values. However, such a parsing can't cope
with multi-line values. Though 'git config' can produce null-terminated
output for newline-safe parsing, that's of no use in such a case, becase
shells can't cope with null characters.
Even our own bash completion script suffers from these issues.
Help the completion script, and shell scripts in general, by introducing
the '--name-only' option to modify the output of '--list' and
'--get-regexp' to list only the names of config variables, so they don't
have to perform error-prone post processing to separate variable names
from their values anymore.

Currently there are a few completion functions that perform similar 'git
config' queries and filtering to get config variable names: the completion
of pretty aliases, aliases, and remote groups for 'git remote update'.
Unify those 'git config' queries in a helper function to eliminate code
duplication.
Though the helper functions to get pretty aliases and alieses are reduced
to mere one-liner wrappers around the newly added function, keep these
helpers still, because users' completion functions out there might depend
on them. And they keep their callers a tad easier to read, too.
Add tests for the pretty alias and alias helper to show that they work
as before; not for the remote groups query, though, because that's not

awk: cmd. line:1: ^ backslash not last character on line
awk: cmd. line:1: /^/\/c/\/h/\/a/\/r/\/t/\/a/\/b/ { print $1 }
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
Leaving the prompt in a goofy state until the user hits a key.
Escaping the literal / in the parameter expansion (using "/^${1//\//\\/}/")
results in:

with messages "initial", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth"

The thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/257392
details problems when applying patches with "git am" in a repository with
CRLF line endings. In the example in the thread, the repository originated
from "git-svn" so it is not possible to use core.eol and friends on it.
Right now, the best option is to use "git am --keep-cr". However, when
a patch create new files, the patch application process will reject the
new file because it finds a "/dev/null\r" string instead of "/dev/null".
The problem is that SMTP transport is CRLF-unsafe. Sending a patch by
email is the same as passing it through "dos2unix | unix2dos". The newly
introduced CRLFs are normally transparent because git-am strips them. The
keepcr=true setting preserves them, but it is mostly working by chance
and it would be very problematic to have a "git am" workflow in a
repository with mixed LF and CRLF line endings.
The MIME solution to this is the quoted-printable transfer enconding.
This is not something that we want to enable by default, since it makes
received emails horrible to look at. However, it is a very good match
for projects that store CRLF line endings in the repository.
The only disadvantage of quoted-printable is that quoted-printable
patches fail to apply if the maintainer uses "git am --keep-cr". This
is because the decoded patch will have two carriage returns at the end
of the line. Therefore, add support for base64 transfer encoding too,
which makes received emails downright impossible to look at outside
a MUA, but really just works.
The patch covers all bases, including users that still live in the late
80s, by also providing a 7bit content transfer encoding that refuses
to send emails with non-ASCII character in them. And finally, "8bit"
will add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header but otherwise do nothing.

We have had "git -C $there" to first go to a different directory
and run a Git command without changing the arguments for quite some
time. Use it instead of (cd $there && git ...) in the completion
script.
This allows us to lose the work-around for misfeatures of modern
interactive-minded shells that make "cd" unusable in scripts (e.g.
end users' $CDPATH taking us to unexpected places in any POSIX
shell, and chpwd functions spewing unwanted output in zsh).
Based on Øystein Walle's idea, which was raised during the
discussion on the solution by Brandon Turner for a problem zsh users
had with RVM which mucks with chpwd_functions in users' environments
(https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/3076).
As $root variable, which is used to direct where to chdir to, is set
to "." based on if $2 to __git_index_files is set (not if it is empty),
the only caller of the function is fixed not to pass the optional $2
when it does not want us to switch to a different directory. Otherwise
we would end up doing "git -C '' command...", which would not work.
Maybe we would want "git -C '' command..." to mean "do not chdir
anywhere", but that is a spearate topic.

'!f() { ... }; f' and "!sh -c '....' -" are recommended patterns for
declaring more complex aliases (see git wiki [1]). This commit teaches
the completion to handle them.
When determining which completion to use for an alias, an opening brace
or single quote is now skipped, and the search for a git command is
continued. For example, the aliases '!f() { git commit ... }' or "!sh
-c 'git commit ...'" now trigger commit completion. Previously, the
search stopped on the opening brace or quote, and the completion tried
it to determine how to complete, which obviously was useless.
The null command ':' is now skipped, so that it can be used as
a workaround to declare the desired completion style.
For example, the aliases
!f() { : git commit ; if ... } f
!sh -c ': git commit; if ...' -
now trigger commit completion.
Shell function declarations now work with or without space before
the parens, i.e. '!f() ...' and '!f () ...' both work.

test: replace shebangs with descriptions in shell libraries
test: make FILEMODE a lazy prereq
contrib: remove git-p4import
mark contributed hooks executable
mark perl test scripts executable
mark Windows build scripts executable
In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

git-archive, 2006-09-24), which also made it print a message indicating
that git-tar-tree is deprecated.

The release notes for Git 1.5.4 say that "git repo-config" will be
removed in the next feature release. Since Git 2.0 is nearly here,
remove it.

DiffMerge is a non-free (but gratis) tool that supports OS X, Windows and Linux.
See http://www.sourcegear.com/diffmerge/
DiffMerge includes a script `/usr/bin/diffmerge` that can be used to launch the
graphical compare tool.
This change adds mergetool support for DiffMerge and adds 'diffmerge' as an
option to the mergetool help.
