733a65aa5d git-svn: allow dcommit to retain local merge information
dcommit will still rewrite the HEAD commit and the history of the first

However, any merge parents (HEAD^2, HEAD^^2, HEAD~2^2) will now be

with dcommit.  Commits written to SVN will still not have any merge

b3bf96d483 git-svn: test for creating new directories over svn://
As reported by Matthieu Moy, this is causing svnserve to
terminate connections, because it segfaults.

This test is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting
SVNSERVE_PORT to an unbound (for 127.0.0.1) TCP port in the
environment (in addition to SVN_TESTS=1).  I'm not comfortable
with having a test start a daemon by default and take up a port
that could potentially stay running if the test failed.

This changes the way git-submodule uses .gitmodules: Subsections no longer
specify the submodule path, they now specify the submodule name. The
submodule path is found under the new key "submodule.<name>.path", which is

cfabd6eee1 filter-branch: subdirectory filter needs --full-history
When two branches are merged that modify a subdirectory (possibly in
different intermediate steps) such that both end up identical, then
rev-list chooses only one branch. But when we filter history, we want to
keep both branches. Therefore, we must use --full-history.

1ed10b886b remote.c: "git-push frotz" should update what matches at the source.
Earlier, when the local repository has a branch "frotz" and the
remote repository has a tag "frotz" (but not branch "frotz"),
"git-push frotz" mistakenly updated the tag at the remote side.
This was because the partial refname matching code was applied
independently on both source and destination side.

With this fix, when a colon-less refspec is given to git-push,
we first match it with the refs in the source repository, and
update the matching ref in the destination repository.

6125796f7d remote.c: fix "git push" weak match disambiguation
When "git push A:B" is given, and A (or B) is not a full refname
that begins with refs/, we require an unambiguous match with an
existing ref.  For this purpose, a match with a local branch or
a tag (i.e. refs/heads/A and refs/tags/A) is called a "strong
match", and any other match is called a "weak match".  A partial
refname is unambiguous when there is only one strong match with
any number of weak matches, or when there is only one weak match
and no other match.

However, as reported by Sparse with Ramsay Jones recently,
count_refspec_match() function had a bug where a variable in an
inner block masked a different variable of the same name, which
caused the weak matches to be ignored.

This fixes it, and adds tests for the fix.

693b63273e cvsserver: Add some useful commandline options
Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by
git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths.

Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed
directories, again similar to git-daemon.

While already adding option parsing also support the common
--help and --version options.

Rationale:

While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already
offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository,
there are some use cases where other methods of access
control prove to be more useful.

E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public
repositories one might want limit the exported repositories
to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout
having to worry about other repositories that might lie around
with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;)

4890888d74 cvsserver: Make req_Root more critical of its input data
The path submitted with the Root request has to be absolute
(cvs does it this way and it may save us some sanity checks
later)

If multiple roots are specified (e.g. because we use
pserver authentication which will already include the
root), ensure that they say all the same.

Probably neither is a security risk, and neither should ever
be triggered by a sane client, but when validating
input data, it's better to be save than sorry.

5035242c47 checkout: do not get confused with ambiguous tag/branch names
Although it is not advisable, we have always allowed a branch
and a tag to have the same basename (i.e. it is not illegal to
have refs/heads/frotz and refs/tags/frotz at the same time).
When talking about a specific commit, the interpretation of
'frotz' has always been "use tag and then check branch",
although we warn when ambiguities exist.

However "git checkout $name" is defined to (1) first see if it
matches the branch name, and if so switch to that branch; (2)
otherwise it is an instruction to detach HEAD to point at the
commit named by $name.  We did not follow this definition when
$name appeared under both refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ -- we
switched to the branch but read the tree from the tagged commit,
which was utterly bogus.

892c41b98a introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work tree
setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.

The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option).  Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.

setup_gdg does the following now:

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
    parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
    GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
    GIT_DIR is set to cwd
    see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
    also see the note below

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
    cwd is used as work tree

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
    the specified work tree is used

Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
    GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
    I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
    times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
    setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.

Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:

(1) is_bare_repository
    A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
    unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
    named .git).  The bare option disables a few protective
    checks which are useful with a working tree.  Currently
    this changes if a repository is bare:
        updates of HEAD are allowed
        git gc packs the refs
        the reflog is disabled by default

(2) is_inside_work_tree
    True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
    is one), false otherwise.

(3) is_inside_git_dir
    True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
    Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
    repositories.

When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called.  This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.

inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository.  The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

2766ce2815 filter-branch: Use rev-list arguments to specify revision ranges.
A subset of commits in a branch used to be specified by options (-k, -r)
as well as the branch tip itself (-s). It is more natural (for git users)
to specify revision ranges like 'master..next' instead. This makes it so.
If no range is specified it defaults to 'HEAD'.

As a consequence, the new name of the filtered branch must be the first
non-option argument. All remaining arguments are passed to 'git rev-list'
unmodified.

The tip of the branch that gets filtered is implied: It is the first
commit that git rev-list would print for the specified range.

9840906026 filter-branch: fix behaviour of '-k'
The option '-k' says that the given commit and _all_ of its ancestors
are kept as-is.

However, if a to-be-rewritten commit branched from an ancestor of an
ancestor of a commit given with '-k', filter-branch would fail.

Example:

	A - B
	  \
	    C

If filter-branch was called with '-k B -s C', it would actually keep
B (and A as its parent), but would rewrite C, and its parent.

7ff895c0d2 Test for recent rev-parse $abbrev_sha1 regression
My recent patch "Lazily open pack index files on demand" caused a
regression in the case of parsing abbreviated SHA-1 object names.
Git was unable to translate the abbreviated name into the full name
if the object was packed, as the pack .idx files were not opened
before being accessed.

This is a simple test to repack a repository then test for an
abbreviated SHA-1 within the packfile.

aac65ed1bc Fix possible coredump with fast-import --import-marks
When e8438420bb allowed us to reload
the marks table on subsequent runs of fast-import we really broke
things, as we set pack_id to MAX_PACK_ID for any objects we imported
into the marks table.  Creating a branch from that mark should fail
as we attempt to read the object through a non-existant packed_git
pointer.  Instead we have to use the normal Git object system to
locate the older commit, as we ourselves do not have a reference
to the packed_git it resides in.

This bug only occurred because t9300 was not complete enough.
When we added the --import-marks feature we didn't actually test
its implementation enough to verify the function worked as intended.
I have corrected that, and included the changes as part of this fix.
Prior versions of fast-import fail the new test(s); this commit
allows them to pass.

Credit for this bug find goes to Simon Hausmann <simon@lst.de> as
he recently identified a similiar bug in the tree lazy-loading path.

af9b54bb2c Use $Id$ as the ident attribute keyword rather than $ident$ to be consistent with other VCSs
$Id$ is present already in SVN and CVS; it would mean that people
converting their existing repositories won't have to make any changes to
the source files should they want to make use of the ident attribute.

Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it
seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it.

I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;
monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist.  I can't think of a good reason not
to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of
$ident$.

4a1bb4c3f8 git-svn: don't attempt to minimize URLs by default
For tracking branches and tags, git-svn prefers to connect
to the root of the repository or at least the level that
houses branches and tags as well as trunk.  However, users
that are accustomed to tracking a single directory have
no use for this feature.

As pointed out by Junio, users may not have permissions to
connect to connect to a higher-level path in the repository.

While the current minimize_url() function detects lack of
permissions to certain paths _after_ successful logins, it
cannot effectively determine if it is trying to access a
login-only portion of a repo when the user expects to
connect to a part where anonymous access is allowed.

For people used to the git-svnimport switches of
--trunk, --tags, --branches, they'll already pass the
repository root (or root+subdirectory), so minimize URL
isn't of too much use to them, either.

For people *not* used to git-svnimport, git-svn also
supports:

 git svn init --minimize-url \
  --trunk http://repository-root/foo/trunk \
  --branches http://repository-root/foo/branches \
  --tags http://repository-root/foo/tags

And this is where the new --minimize-url command-line switch
comes in to allow for this behavior to continue working.

a25907dac4 t9400: Use the repository config and nothing else.
git-cvsserver has a bug in its configuration file output parser
that makes it choke if the configuration has these:

        [diff]
                color = auto
        [diff.color]
                whitespace = blue reverse

This needs to be fixed, but thanks to that bug, a separate bug
in t9400 test script was discovered.  The test discarded
GIT_CONFIG instead of pointing at the proper one to be used in
the exoprted repository.  This allowed user's .gitconfig and (if
exists) systemwide /etc/gitconfig to affect the outcome of the
test, which is a big no-no.

The patch fixes the problem in the test.  Fixing the
git-cvsserver's configuration parser is left as an exercise to
motivated volunteers ;-)

16a4c6176a read-tree -m -u: avoid getting confused by intermediate symlinks.
When switching from a branch with both x86_64/boot/Makefile and
i386/boot/Makefile to another branch that has x86_64/boot as a
symlink pointing at ../i386/boot, the code incorrectly removed
i386/boot/Makefile.

This was because we first removed everything under x86_64/boot
to make room to create a symbolic link x86_64/boot, then removed
x86_64/boot/Makefile which no longer exists but now is pointing
at i386/boot/Makefile, thanks to the symlink we just created.

This fixes it by using the has_symlink_leading_path() function
introduced previously for git-apply in the checkout codepath.
Earlier, "git checkout" was broken in t4122 test due to this
bug, and the test had an extra "git reset --hard" as a
workaround, which is removed because it is not needed anymore.

64cab59159 apply: do not get confused by symlinks in the middle
HPA noticed that git-rebase fails when changes involve symlinks
in the middle of the hierarchy.  Consider:

 * The tree state before the patch is applied has arch/x86_64/boot
   as a symlink pointing at ../i386/boot/

 * The patch tries to remove arch/x86_64/boot symlink, and
   create bunch of files there: .gitignore, Makefile, etc.

git-apply tries to be careful while applying patches; it never
touches the working tree until it is convinced that the patch
would apply cleanly.  One of the check it does is that when it
knows a path is going to be created by the patch, it runs
lstat() on the path to make sure it does not exist.

This leads to a false alarm.  Because we do not touch the
working tree before all the check passes, when we try to make
sure that arch/x86_64/boot/.gitignore does not exist yet, we
haven't removed the arch/x86_64/boot symlink.  The lstat() check
ends up seeing arch/i386/boot/.gitignore through the
yet-to-be-removed symlink, and says "Hey, you already have a
file there, but what you fed me is a patch to create a new
file. I am not going to clobber what you have in the working
tree."

We have similar checks to see a file we are going to modify does
exist and match the preimage of the diff, which is done by
directly opening and reading the file.

For a file we are going to delete, we make sure that it does
exist and matches what is going to be removed (a removal patch
records the full preimage, so we check what you have in your
working tree matches it in full -- otherwise we would risk
losing your local changes), which again is done by directly
opening and reading the file.

These checks need to be adjusted so that they are not fooled by
symlinks in the middle.

 - To make sure something does not exist, first lstat().  If it
   does not exist, it does not, so be happy.  If it _does_, we
   might be getting fooled by a symlink in the middle, so break
   leading paths and see if there are symlinks involved.  When
   we are checking for a path a/b/c/d, if any of a, a/b, a/b/c
   is a symlink, then a/b/c/d does _NOT_ exist, for the purpose
   of our test.

   This would fix this particular case you saw, and would not
   add extra overhead in the usual case.

 - To make sure something already exists, first lstat().  If it
   does not exist, barf (up to this, we already do).  Even if it
   does seem to exist, we might be getting fooled by a symlink
   in the middle, so make sure leading paths are not symlinks.

   This would make the normal codepath much more expensive for
   deep trees, which is a bit worrisome.

This patch implements the first side of the check "making sure
it does not exist".  The latter "making sure it exists" check is
not done yet, so applying the patch in reverse would still
fail, but we have to start from somewhere.

aa4ed402c9 Add 'filter' attribute and external filter driver definition.
The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers.

First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*'
variables in the configuration.

	filter.<name>.clean	filter command to run upon checkin
	filter.<name>.smudge	filter command to run upon checkout

Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name
matches the custom filter driver's name.

Example:

	(in .gitattributes)
	*.c	filter=indent

	(in config)
	[filter "indent"]
		clean = indent
		smudge = cat

3fed15f568 Add 'ident' conversion.
The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes
except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it
to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout.

As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths,
clarify how they interact with each other.

c7f34c180b dir.c(common_prefix): Fix two bugs
The function common_prefix() is used to find the common subdirectory of
a couple of pathnames. When checking if the next pathname matches up with
the prefix, it incorrectly checked the whole path, not just the prefix
(including the slash). Thus, the expensive part of the loop was executed
always.

The other bug is more serious: if the first and the last pathname in the
list have a longer common prefix than the common prefix for _all_ pathnames
in the list, the longer one would be chosen. This bug was probably hidden
by the fact that bash's wildcard expansion sorts the results, and the code
just so happens to work with sorted input.

f1af60bdba Support 'diff=pgm' attribute
This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs
meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed
per path.

To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom
diff driver in the configuration:

	[diff "my-c-diff"]
		command = <<your command string comes here>>

Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver
using the attribute mechanism.

	*.c	diff=my-c-diff

The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is
used for specifying the type of the contents, while the
configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done
to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both
platform and personal taste.

163b959194 Update 'crlf' attribute semantics.
This updates the semantics of 'crlf' so that .gitattributes file
can say "this is text, even though it may look funny".

Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the path
as a "text" file.  'core.autocrlf' conversion takes place
without guessing the content type by inspection.

Unsetting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the
path as a "binary" file.  The path never goes through line
endings conversion upon checkin/checkout.

Unspecified `crlf` attribute tells git to apply the
`core.autocrlf` conversion when the file content looks like
text.

Setting the `crlf` attribut to string value "input" is similar
to setting the attribute to `true`, but also forces git to act
as if `core.autocrlf` is set to `input` for the path.

The following tests available:

- create subprojects: create a directory in the superproject,
  initialize a git repo in it, and try adding it in super project.
  Make a commit in superproject

- check if fsck ignores the subprojects: it just should give no errors

- check if commit in a subproject detected: make a commit in
  subproject, git-diff-files in superproject should detect it

- check if a changed subproject HEAD can be committed: try
  "git-commit -a" in superproject. It should commit changed
  HEAD of a subproject

- check if diff-index works for subproject elements: compare the index
  (changed by previuos tests) with the initial commit (which created
  two subprojects). Should show a change for the recently changed subproject

- check if diff-tree works for subproject elements: do the same, just use
  git-diff-tree. This test is somewhat redundant, I just added it for
  completeness (diff, diff-files, and diff-index are already used)

- check if git diff works for subproject elements: try to limit
  the diff for the name of a subproject in superproject:
     git diff HEAD^ HEAD -- subproject

- check if clone works: try a clone of superproject and compare
  "git ls-files -s" output in superproject and cloned repo

- removing and adding subproject: rename test. Currently implemented
  as "git-update-index --force-remove", "mv" and "git-add".

- checkout in superproject: try to checkout the initial commit

0afa7644f2 Fix overwriting of files when applying contextually independent diffs
Noticed by applying two diffs of different contexts to the same file.

The check for existence of a file was wrong: the test assumed it was
a directory and reset the errno (twice: directly and by calling
lstat). So if an entry existed and was _not_ a directory no attempt
was made to rename into it, because the errno (expected by renaming
code) was already reset to 0. This resulted in error:

    fatal: unable to write file file mode 100644

For Linux, removing "errno = 0" is enough, as lstat wont modify errno
if it was successful. The behavior should not be depended upon,
though, so modify the "if" as well.

The test simulates this situation.

153920da5b Custom low-level merge driver: change the configuration scheme.
This changes the configuration syntax for defining a low-level
merge driver to be:

	[merge "<<drivername>>"]
		driver = "<<command line>>"
		name = "<<driver description>>"

which is much nicer to read and is extensible.  Credit goes to
Martin Waitz and Linus.

In addition, when we use an external low-level merge driver, it
is reported as an extra output from merge-recursive, using the
value of merge.<<drivername>.name variable.

f3ef6b6bbe Custom low-level merge driver support.
This allows users to specify custom low-level merge driver per
path, using the attributes mechanism.  Just like you can specify
one of built-in "text", "binary", "union" low-level merge
drivers by saying:

	*		merge=text
	.gitignore	merge=union
	*.jpg		merge=binary

pick a name of your favorite merge driver, and assign it as the
value of the 'merge' attribute.

A custom low-level merge driver is defined via the config
mechanism.  This patch introduces 'merge.driver', a multi-valued
configuration.  Its value is the name (i.e. the one you use as
the value of 'merge' attribute) followed by a command line
specification.  The command line can contain %O, %A, and %B to
be interpolated with the names of temporary files that hold the
common ancestor version, the version from your branch, and the
version from the other branch, and the resulting command is
spawned.

The low-level merge driver is expected to update the temporary
file for your branch (i.e. %A) with the result and exit with
status 0 for a clean merge, and non-zero status for a conflicted
merge.

A new test in t6026 demonstrates a sample usage.

b9849a1ab6 Make sure quickfetch is not fooled with a previous, incomplete fetch.
This updates git-rev-list --objects to be a bit more careful
when listing a blob object to make sure the blob actually
exists, and uses it to make sure the quick-fetch optimization we
introduced earlier is not fooled by a previous incomplete fetch.

The quick-fetch optimization works by running this command:

	git rev-list --objects <<commit-list>> --not --all

where <<commit-list>> is a list of commits that we are going to
fetch from the other side.  If there is any object missing to
complete the <<commit-list>>, the rev-list would fail and die
(say, the commit was in our repository, but its tree wasn't --
then it will barf while trying to list the blobs the tree
contains because it cannot read that tree).

Usually we do not have the objects (otherwise why would we
fetching?), but in one important special case we do: when the
remote repository is used as an alternate object store
(i.e. pointed by .git/objects/info/alternates).  We could check
.git/objects/info/alternates to see if the remote we are
interacting with is one of them (or is used as an alternate,
recursively, by one of them), but that check is more cumbersome
than it is worth.

The above check however did not catch missing blob, because
object listing code did not read nor check blob objects, knowing
that blobs do not contain any further references to other
objects.  This commit fixes it with practically unmeasurable
overhead.

I've benched this with

	git rev-list --objects --all >/dev/null

in the kernel repository, with three different implementations
of the "check-blob".

 - Checking with has_sha1_file() has negligible (unmeasurable)
   performance penalty.

 - Checking with sha1_object_info() makes it somewhat slower,
   perhaps by 5%.

 - Checking with read_sha1_file() to cause a fully re-validation
   is prohibitively expensive (about 4 times as much runtime).

In my original patch, I had this as a command line option, but
the overhead is small enough that it is not really worth it.

Eventually we would want to let users to build a pipeline of

other direction) based on combination of attributes, and at that
point the mechanism in convert_to_{git,working_tree}() that

0a5280a9f4 git-bisect: allow bisecting with only one bad commit.
This allows you to say:

	git bisect start
	git bisect bad $bad
	git bisect next

to start bisection without knowing a good commit.  This would
have you try a commit that is half-way since the beginning of
the history, which is rather wasteful if you already know a good
commit, but if you don't (or your history is short enough that
you do not care), there is no reason not to allow this.

38a47fd6e3 Bisect: teach "bisect start" to optionally use one bad and many good revs.
One bad commit is fundamentally needed for bisect to run,
and if we beforehand know more good commits, we can narrow
the bisect space down without doing the whole tree checkout
every time we give good commits.

This patch implements:

    git bisect start [<bad> [<good>...]] [--] [<pathspec>...]

as a short-hand for this command sequence:

    git bisect start
    git bisect bad $bad
    git bisect good $good1 $good2...

On the other hand, there may be some confusion between revs
(<bad> and <good>...) and <pathspec>... if -- is not used
and if an invalid rev or a pathspec that looks like a rev is
given.

Users shouldn't supply -p2 unless they mean it.  But if they are

8685da4256 don't ever allow SHA1 collisions to exist by fetching a pack
Waaaaaaay back Git was considered to be secure as it never overwrote
an object it already had.  This was ensured by always unpacking the
packfile received over the network (both in fetch and receive-pack)
and our already existing logic to not create a loose object for an
object we already have.

Lately however we keep "large-ish" packfiles on both fetch and push
by running them through index-pack instead of unpack-objects.  This
would let an attacker perform a birthday attack.

How?  Assume the attacker knows a SHA-1 that has two different
data streams.  He knows the client is likely to have the "good"
one.  So he sends the "evil" variant to the other end as part of
a "large-ish" packfile.  The recipient keeps that packfile, and
indexes it.  Now since this is a birthday attack there is a SHA-1
collision; two objects exist in the repository with the same SHA-1.
They have *very* different data streams.  One of them is "evil".

Currently the poor recipient cannot tell the two objects apart,
short of by examining the timestamp of the packfiles.  But lets
say the recipient repacks before he realizes he's been attacked.
We may wind up packing the "evil" version of the object, and deleting
the "good" one.  This is made *even more likely* by Junio's recent
rearrange_packed_git patch (b867092f).

It is extremely unlikely for a SHA1 collisions to occur, but if it
ever happens with a remote (hence untrusted) object we simply must
not let the fetch succeed.

Normally received packs should not contain objects we already have.
But when they do we must ensure duplicated objects with the same SHA1
actually contain the same data.

9debc3241b git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like

        [remote "local"]
                url = .
                fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names.  The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.

To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'.  In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations.  In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.

The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created.  Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

87ab799234 builtin-mailinfo.c infrastrcture changes
I am working on a project that required parsing through regular
mboxes that didn't necessarily have patches embedded in them.  I
started by creating my own modified copy of git-am and working
from there.  Very quickly, I noticed git-mailinfo wasn't able to
handle a big chunk of my email.

After hacking up numerous solutions and running into more
limitations, I decided it was just easier to rewrite a big chunk
of it.  The following patch has a bunch of fixes and features
that I needed in order for me do what I wanted.

Note: I'm didn't follow any email rfc papers but I don't think
any of the changes I did required much knowledge (besides the
boundary stuff).

List of major changes/fixes:
- can't create empty patch files fix
- empty patch files don't fail, this failure will come inside git-am
- multipart boundaries are now handled
- only output inbody headers if a patch exists otherwise assume those
headers are part of the reply and instead output the original headers
- decode and filter base64 patches correctly
- various other accidental fixes

I believe I didn't break any existing functionality or
compatibility (other than what I describe above, which is really
only the empty patch file).

I tested this through various mailing list archives and
everything seemed to parse correctly (a couple thousand emails).

[jc: squashed in another patch from Don's five patch series to
 fix the test case, as this patch exposes the bug in the test.]

f43cd49fb8 Change {pre,post}-receive hooks to use stdin
Sergey Vlasov, Andy Parkins and Alex Riesen all pointed out that it
is possible for a single invocation of receive-pack to be given more
refs than the OS might allow us to pass as command line parameters
to a single hook invocation.

We don't want to break these up into multiple invocations (like
xargs might do) as that makes it impossible for the pre-receive
hook to verify multiple related ref updates occur at the same time,
and it makes it harder for post-receive to send out a single batch
notification.

Instead we pass the reference data on a pipe connected to the
hook's stdin, supplying one ref per line to the hook.  This way a
single hook invocation can obtain an infinite amount of ref data,
without bumping into any operating system limits.

0746d19a82 git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch tracking
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:

  git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
  git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
  git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic

This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.

This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.

If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

05ef58ec1f Teach receive-pack to run pre-receive/post-receive hooks
Bill Lear pointed out that it is easy to send out notifications of
changes with the update hook, but successful execution of the update
hook does not necessarily mean that the ref was actually updated.
Lock contention on the ref or being unable to append to the reflog
may prevent the ref from being changed.  Sending out notifications
prior to the ref actually changing is very misleading.

To help this situation I am introducing two new hooks to the
receive-pack flow: pre-receive and post-receive.  These new hooks
are invoked only once per receive-pack execution and are passed
three arguments per ref (refname, old-sha1, new-sha1).

The new post-receive hook is ideal for sending out notifications,
as it has the complete list of all refnames that were successfully
updated as well as the old and new SHA-1 values.  This allows more
interesting notifications to be sent.  Multiple ref updates could
be easily summarized into one email, for example.

The new pre-receive hook is ideal for logging update attempts, as it
is run only once for the entire receive-pack operation.  It can also
be used to verify multiple updates happen at once, e.g. an update
to the `maint` head must also be accompained by a new annotated tag.

Lots of documentation improvements for receive-pack are included
in this change, as we want to make sure the new hooks are clearly
explained.

8aaf7d6410 Refactor handling of error_string in receive-pack
I discovered we did not send an ng line in the report-status feedback
if the ref was not updated because the repository has the config
option receive.denyNonFastForwards enabled.  I think the reason this
happened is that it is simply too easy to forget to set error_string
when returning back a failure from update()

We now return an ng line for a non-fastforward update, which in
turn will cause send-pack to exit with a non-zero exit status.
Hence the modified test.

This refactoring changes update to return a const char* describing
the error, which execute_commands always loads into error_string.
The result is what I think is cleaner code, and allows us to
initialize the error_string member to NULL when we read_head_info.

I want error_string to be NULL in all commands before we call
execute_commands, so that we can reuse the run_hook function to
execute a new pre-receive hook.

8315588b59 bundle: fix wrong check of read_header()'s return value & add tests
If read_header() fails, it returns <0, not 0. Further, an open(/dev/null)
was not checked for errors.

Also, this adds two tests to make sure that the bundle file looks
correct, by checking if it has the header has the expected form, and that
the pack contains the right amount of objects.

58db64f73c make t8001 work on Mac OS X again
The test was recently broken to expect sed to leave the
incomplete line at the end without newline.

POSIX says that output of the pattern space is to be followed by
a newline, while GNU adds the newline back only when it was
stripped when input.  GNU behaviour is arguably more intuitive
and nicer, but we should not depend on it.

The existing --attach option did not create a true "attachment"

have been with Content-Disposition: attachment.

Introduce --inline to add multipart/mixed that is inlined, and

78a8d641c1 Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.

This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system.  A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).

Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.
