This merge strategy largely piggy-backs on git-merge-recursive.
When merging trees A and B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A,
B is first adjusted to match the tree structure of A, instead of
reading the trees at the same level. This adjustment is also
done to the common ancestor tree.
If you are pulling updates from git-gui repository into git.git
repository, the root level of the former corresponds to git-gui/
subdirectory of the latter. The tree object of git-gui's toplevel
is wrapped in a fake tree object, whose sole entry has name 'git-gui'
and records object name of the true tree, before being used by
the 3-way merge code.
If you are merging the other way, only the git-gui/ subtree of
git.git is extracted and merged into git-gui's toplevel.
The detection of corresponding subtree is done by comparing the
pathnames and types in the toplevel of the tree.
Heuristics galore! That's the git way ;-).

Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.
git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.
The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.
It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

git-fast-import requires use of inttypes.h, but the master branch has
added it to git-compat-util differently than git-fast-import originally
had used it. This merge back of master to the fast-import topic is to
get (and use) inttypes.h the way master is using it.
This is a partially evil merge to remove the call to setup_ident(),
as the master branch now contains a change which makes this implicit
and therefore removed the function declaration. (commit 01754769).
Conflicts:
git-compat-util.h
I'm bringing master in early so that the OBJ_OFS_DELTA implementation
is available as part of the topic. This way git-fast-import can
learn about this new slightly smaller and faster packfile format,
and can generate them directly rather than needing to have them be
repacked with git-pack-objects.
Due to the API changes in master during the period of development
of git-fast-import, a few minor tweaks to fast-import.c are needed
to produce a working merge. I've done them here as part of the
merge to ensure bisection always works.

Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a

* pack-refs --prune
* reflog expire
* repack -a -d

* rerere gc
So here is a command which does exactly that. The parameters fed
to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting
configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may
want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't
be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

A script to be driven when the user says "git add --interactive"
is introduced.
When it is run, first it runs its internal 'status' command to
show the current status, and then goes into its internactive
command loop.
The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and
gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends
with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given
and type return, like this:
*** Commands ***
1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked
5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help
What now> 1
You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the
choice is unique.
The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit).
* 'status' shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what
will be committed if you say "git commit"), and between index
and working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further
before "git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample
output looks like this:
staged unstaged path
1: binary nothing foo.png
2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl
It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is
binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no
difference between indexed copy and the working tree
version (if the working tree version were also different,
'binary' would have been shown in place of 'nothing'). The
other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added
and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but
working tree file has further modifications (one addition and
one deletion).
* 'update' shows the status information and gives prompt
"Update>>". When the prompt ends with double '>>', you can
make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or
comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose
2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say '*' to choose
everything.
What you chose are then highlighted with '*', like this:
staged unstaged path
1: binary nothing foo.png
* 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl
To remove selection, prefix the input with - like this:
Update>> -2
After making the selection, answer with an empty line to
stage the contents of working tree files for selected paths
in the index.
* 'revert' has a very similar UI to 'update', and the staged
information for selected paths are reverted to that of the
HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked.
* 'add untracked' has a very similar UI to 'update' and
'revert', and lets you add untracked paths to the index.
* 'patch' lets you choose one path out of 'status' like
selection. After choosing the path, it presents diff between
the index and the working tree file and asks you if you want
to stage the change of each hunk. You can say:
y - add the change from that hunk to index
n - do not add the change from that hunk to index
a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index
d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index
j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next
undecided hunk
J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk
k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous
undecided hunk
K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk
After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.
* 'diff' lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between
HEAD and index).
This is still rough, but does everything except a few things I
think are needed.
* 'patch' should be able to allow splitting a hunk into
multiple hunks.
* 'patch' does not adjust the line offsets @@ -k,l +m,n @@
in the hunk header. This does not have major problem in
practice, but it _should_ do the adjustment.
* It does not have any explicit support for a merge in
progress; it may not work at all.

This command implements the git archive protocol on the server
side. This command is not intended to be used by the end user.
Underlying git-archive command line options are sent over the
protocol from "git-archive --remote=...", just like upload-tar
currently does with "git-tar-tree=...".
As for "git-archive" command implementation, this new command
does not execute any existing "git-{tar,zip}-tree" but rely
on the archive API defined by "git-archive" patch. Hence we
get 2 good points:
- "git-archive" and "git-upload-archive" share all option
parsing code.

git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.
Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.
- The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
different archive backends to have different kind of options.
- The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
the archive given some already resolved parameters.
The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?
It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.
The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:
$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD
We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).

to use the textfile symbolic ref.
The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has
proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness.

Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is
clearly inferior in every way to git-rev-list that such scripts should
be fixed anyway. Fixing them should be pretty easy.

git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export
the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any
number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not
ever use git-export.
It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just
about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree.

HPA reminded me that these programs knows about the name of the
counterpart on the other end and simply symlinking the old name to
new name locally would not be enough.

Otherwise we would regret when Fredrik comes up with another merge
algorithm with different pros-and-cons with the current one.

I really wanted to try this out, instead of asking for an adjustment
to the 'git merge' driver and waiting. For now the new strategy is
called 'fredrik' and not in the list of default strategies to be tried.
The script wants Python 2.4 so this commit also adjusts Debian and RPM
build procecure files.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
