We liberally use "committish" and "commit-ish" (and "treeish" and
"tree-ish"); as these are non-words, let's unify these terms to
their dashed form. More importantly, clarify the documentation on
object peeling using these terms.
* rh/ishes-doc:
glossary: fix and clarify the definition of 'ref'
revisions.txt: fix and clarify <rev>^{<type>}
glossary: more precise definition of tree-ish (a.k.a. treeish)
use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
use 'tree-ish' instead of 'treeish'
glossary: define commit-ish (a.k.a. committish)
glossary: mention 'treeish' as an alternative to 'tree-ish'
Replace 'committish' in documentation and comments with 'commit-ish'
to match gitglossary(7) and to be consistent with 'tree-ish'.
The only remaining instances of 'committish' are:
* variable, function, and macro names
* "(also committish)" in the definition of commit-ish in
gitglossary[7]

Back when the core tutorial was written, `log` and `whatchanged`
were scripted Porcelains. In the "Inspecting Changes" section that
talks about the plumbing commands in the diff family, it made sense
to use `log` and `whatchanged` as good examples of the use of these
plumbing commands, and because even these scripted Porcelains were
novelty (there wasn't the new end-user tutorial written), it made
some sense to illustrate uses of the `git log` (and `git
whatchanged`) scripted Porcelain commands.
But we no longer have scripted `log` and `whatchanged` to serve as
examples, and this document is not where the end users learn what
`git log` command is about. Stop at briefly mentioning the
possibility of combining rev-list with diff-tree to build your own
log, and leave the end-user documentation of `log` to the new
tutorial and the user manual.
Also resurrect the last version of `git-log`, `git-whatchanged`, and
`git-show` to serve as examples to contrib/examples/ directory.
While at it, remove 'whatchanged' from a list of sample commands
that are affected by GIT_FLUSH environment variable. This is not
meant to be an exhaustive list but as a list of typical ones, and an
old command that is kept primarily for backward compatibility does
not belong to it.

Optimise the "merge-base" computation a bit, and also update its
users that do not need the full merge-base information to call a
cheaper subset.
* jc/merge-bases:
reduce_heads(): reimplement on top of remove_redundant()
merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B"
get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel
in_merge_bases(): use paint_down_to_common()
merge_bases_many(): split out the logic to paint history
in_merge_bases(): omit unnecessary redundant common ancestor reduction
http-push: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
in_merge_bases(): support only one "other" commit
In early days of its life, I planned to make it possible to compute
"is a commit contained in all of these other commits?" with this
function, but it turned out that no caller needed it.
Just make it take two commit objects and add a comment to say what
these two functions do.

For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from
a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so:
$ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit

cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality.

(Just like we did for documentation already)
In the process, we change "non-remote branch" to "branch outside the
refs/remotes/ hierarchy" to avoid the ugly "non-remote-tracking branch".
The new formulation actually corresponds to how the code detects this
case (i.e. prefixcmp(refname, "refs/remotes")).
Also, we use 'remote-tracking branch' in generated merge messages (by
merge an fmt-merge-msg).

Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.
The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.
As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:
PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/env perl'
Which would previously result in failures, since "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w"
doesn't work as a shebang.

When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.

is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of

With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where

The builtin-ification includes some minor behavioural changes to the
command-line interface: It is no longer allowed to mix the -m and -F
arguments, and it is not allowed to use multiple -F options.
As part of the builtin-ification, we add the commit_notes() function
to the builtin API. This function (together with the notes.h API) can
be easily used from other builtins to manipulate the notes tree.
Also includes needed changes to t3301.
