It does not usually make sense to record a commit that has the exact
same tree as its sole parent commit and that is why git-commit prevents
you from making such a mistake, but when data from foreign scm is
involved, it is a different story. We are equipped to represent such an
(perhaps insane, perhaps by mistake, or perhaps done on purpose) empty
change, and it is better to represent it bypassing the safety valve for
native use.
This is primarily for use by foreign scm interface scripts.

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.
For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.
Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip. The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.

Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects.
This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in
an ongoing operation.
This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects
which are older than a certain time. For example, by
git prune --expire 14.days
you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable
and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated).
The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime,
because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and
omitting the test when the platform does not support that
command line switch).

When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a
fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge.
This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch
is ready to be submitted and needs to be update.
fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared
repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed
repository, such as WINE's.
As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by
defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is
interpreted as a bool. This setting can be overridden on the command
line by --rebase and --no-rebase.

This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the
rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules
to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.
The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.
Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer
resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig

merging and rebasing. Therefore it should not be placed too
early in the manual. Right after the section on "Problems with

git revert -m 1 $merge

This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the
external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be
specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path.
The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches
and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details
about a tool.
The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external
programs are unlikely to be in PATH.

git-rebase uses format-patch's --ignore-if-in-upstream
option, but we never document the user-visible behavior. The
example is placed near the top of the example list rather
than at the bottom because it is:
a. a simple example
b. a reasonably common scenario for many projects (mail
some patches which get accepted upstream, then rebase)

There's a number of tricky conflicts between master and
this topic right now due to the rewrite of builtin-push.
Junio must have handled these via rerere; I'd rather not
deal with them again so I'm pre-merging master into the
topic. Besides this topic somehow started to depend on
the strbuf series that was in next, but is now in master.
It no longer compiles on its own without the strbuf API.

If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the
working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files,
so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should
look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would
also find renamed files. However, it is also slower.

The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.
It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion
of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know
what branches matched on the server.
Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment
safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally
suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

running the webrick server with git requires Ruby and Ruby's YAML and
Webrick libraries (both of which come standard with Ruby). nice for
single-user standalone invocations.
the --httpd=webrick option generates a ruby script on the fly to read
httpd.conf options and invoke the web server via library call. this
script is placed in the .git/gitweb directory. it also generates a
shell script in a feeble attempt to invoke ruby in a portable manner,
which assumes that 'ruby' is in the user's $PATH.

grab_date() gets an extra parameter - atomname; this extra parameter is
checked to see if it has a ":<format>" extra component in it, and if so
that "<format>" string is passed to parse_date_format() to produce an
enum date_mode value which is then further passed to show_date().
In short it allows the user of git-for-each-ref to do things like this:
$ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:default)' refs/tags/v1.5.2
Sun May 20 00:30:42 2007 -0700
$ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:relative)' refs/tags/v1.5.2

existing behaviour unchanged.
