When you have to add certain lines like ACKs (or for that matter,
Signed-off-by:s) to a range of commits starting with HEAD, you might
be tempted to use 'git rebase -i -10', but that is a waste of your
time.
It is better to use 'git filter-branch' with an appropriate message
filter, and this commit adds an example how to do so to
filter-branch's man page.

The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:
1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
be shared.
2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
repo.
This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.
For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".
For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash. You can select hunks from
the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a
stash that reflects these changes. The index state of the stash is
the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.
Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing
if you had also staged these changes. This is not entirely
satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions
would require a change to the stash format.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage
git checkout --patch -- [files...]
it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).
We also accept a revision argument. In the case
git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]
we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage
git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]
it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.
The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree). If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-reset. The basic case is
git reset --patch -- [files...]
which acts as the opposite of 'git add --patch -- [files...]': it
offers hunks for *un*staging. Advanced usage is
git reset --patch <revision> -- [files...]
which offers hunks from the diff between the index and <revision> for
forward application to the index. (That is, the basic case is just
<revision> = HEAD.)

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.
A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.
While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation

before smtp and submission TLS support, that arrived in RFC2487 and
RFC3207. Port 465 is actually assigned by IANA for unrelated purposes,

git repack: keep commits hidden by a graft
Add a test showing that 'git repack' throws away grafted-away parents
Conflicts:

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.
So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.
As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

'git svn dcommit' takes an optional revision argument, but the meaning
of it was rather scary. It completely ignored the current state of
the HEAD, only looking at the revisions between SVN and $rev. If HEAD
was attached to $branch, the branch lost all commits $rev..$branch in
the process.
Considering that 'git svn dcommit HEAD^' has the intuitive meaning
"dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the
meaning of the revision argument. git-svn temporarily checks out $rev
for its work, meaning that
* if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as
part of the dcommit,
* if some other revision is specified, as in the example, all work
happens on a detached HEAD and no branch is affected.

git-am and git-rebase are talkative scripts. Teach them to be quiet when
told, allowing them to speak only when they fail or experience errors.
The quiet option is maintained when git-am or git-rebase fails to apply
a patch. This means subsequent --resolved, --continue, --skip, --abort
invocations will be quiet if the original invocation was quiet.
Drop a handful of >&2 redirection; the rest of the program sends all the
info messages to stdout, not to stderr.

Add a configuration option, http.sslCertPasswordProtected, and associated
environment variable, GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED, to enable SSL client
certificate password prompt from within git. If this option is false and
if the environment variable does not exist, git falls back to OpenSSL's
prompts (as in earlier versions of git).
The environment variable may only be used to enable, not to disable
git's password prompt. This behavior mimics GIT_NO_VERIFY; the mere
existence of the variable is all that is checked.

For another patch series I'm working on I needed some tests
for the cc-cmd feature of git-send-email.
This patch adds 3 tests for the feature and for the possibility
to specify --suppress-cc multiple times, and fixes two bugs.
The first bug is that the --suppress-cc option for `cccmd' was
misspelled as `ccmd' in the code. The second bug, which is
actually found only with my other series, is that the argument
to the cccmd is never quoted, so the cccmd would fail with
patch file names containing a space.
A third bug I fix (in the docs) is that the bodycc argument was
actually spelled ccbody in the documentation and bash completion.

'git stash pop' supports the '--index' option since its initial
implementation (bd56ff54, git-stash: add new 'pop' subcommand,
2008-02-22), but its documentation does not mention it explicitly.
Moreover, both the usage shown by 'git stash -h' and the synopsis
section in the man page imply that 'git stash pop' does not have an
'--index' option.
First, this patch corrects the usage and the synopsis section.
Second, the patch moves the description of the '--index' option to the
'git stash pop' section in the documentation, and refers to it from
the 'git stash apply' section. This way it follows the intentions of
commit d1836637 (Documentation: teach stash/pop workflow instead of
stash/apply, 2009-05-28), as all 'git stash pop'-related documentation

t6023: merge-file fails to output anything for a degenerate merge
'git submodule update --merge' merges the commit referenced by the
superproject into your local branch, instead of checking it out on
a detached HEAD.
As evidenced by the addition of "git submodule update --rebase", it
is useful to provide alternatives to the default 'checkout' behaviour
of "git submodule update". One such alternative is, when updating a
submodule to a new commit, to merge that commit into the current
local branch in that submodule. This is useful in workflows where
you want to update your submodule from its upstream, but you cannot
use --rebase, because you have downstream people working on top of
your submodule branch, and you don't want to disrupt their work.

The addition of "submodule.<name>.rebase" demonstrates the usefulness of
alternatives to the default behaviour of "git submodule update". However,
by naming the config variable "submodule.<name>.rebase", and making it a
boolean choice, we are artificially constraining future git versions that
may want to add _more_ alternatives than just "rebase".
Therefore, while "submodule.<name>.rebase" is not yet in a stable git
release, future-proof it, by changing it from
submodule.<name>.rebase = true/false
to
submodule.<name>.update = rebase/checkout
where "checkout" specifies the default behaviour of "git submodule update"
(checking out the new commit to a detached HEAD), and "rebase" specifies
the --rebase behaviour (where the current local branch in the submodule is
rebase onto the new commit). Thus .update == checkout is equivalent to
.rebase == false, and .update == rebase is equivalent to .rebase == true.
Finally, leaving .update unset is equivalent to leaving .rebase unset.
In future git versions, other alternatives to "git submodule update"
behaviour can be included by adding them to the list of allowable values
for the submodule.<name>.update variable.

cat-file with an object on the command line requires an
option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print,
etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that
those options are not required. This patch switches them to
parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly
braces might also work, but this follows the convention used
already by "git stash").
While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the
usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and
it does actually use the regular object lookup.

Commit dbd0f5c (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd,
2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a minimal fix.
OPT_FILENAME is intended to be a more robust fix for the same issue.
OPT_FILENAME and its associated enum OPTION_FILENAME are used to
represent filename options within the parse options API.
This option is similar to OPTION_STRING. If --no is prefixed to the
option the filename is unset. If no argument is given and the default
value is set, the filename is set to the default value. The difference
is that the filename is prefixed with the prefix passed to
parse_options() (or parse_options_start()).
Update git-apply, git-commit, git-fmt-merge-msg, and git-tag to use
OPT_FILENAME with their filename options. Also, rename
parse_options_fix_filename() to fix_filename() as it is no longer
extern.

To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options()
which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix
member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the
calling context, passing NULL will suffice.

Add a new option, --authors-prog, to git-svn that allows a more flexible
alternative (or supplement) to --authors-file. This allows more
advanced username operations than the authors file will allow. For
example, one may look up Subversion users via LDAP, or may generate the
name and email address from the Subversion username.
Notes:
* If both --authors-name and --authors-prog are given, the former is
tried first, falling back to the later.
* The program is called once per unique SVN username, and the result is
cached.
* The command-line argument must be the path to a program, not a generic
shell command line. The absolute path to this program is taken at
startup since the git-svn script changes directory during operation.
* The option is not enabled for `git svn log'.

The sender address, as specified with the '--from' command line option,
couldn't be set in the config file. So add a new config option,
'sendemail.from', which sets it. One can use 'sendemail.<identity>.from'
as well of course, which is likely the more useful case.
The sender address would default to GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT, which is usually the
right thing, but this doesn't allow switching based on the identity
selected. It's possible to switch the SMTP server and envelope sender by
using the '--identity' option, in which case one probably wants to use a
different from address as well, but this had to be manually specified.
The documentation for 'from' is also corrected somewhat. If '--from' is
specified (or the new sendemail.from option is used) then the user isn't
prompted. The default with no '--from' option (or sendemail.from option)
is GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT first then GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, not just
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT.
