7fe74f52f9 RelNotes/1.7.7.1: setgid bit patch is about fixing "git init" via Makefile setting
The change was actually about "git init -s" which sets the setgid bit on
SysV-style systems to allow shared access to a repository, and can provoke
errors on BSD-style systems, depending on how permissive the filesystem in
use wants to be.

More to the point, the patch was just taking a fix that arrived for
FreeBSD in v1.5.5 days and making it also apply to machines using an
(obscure) GNU userland/FreeBSD kernel mixture.

821881d88d "rebase -i": support special-purpose editor to edit insn sheet
The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by
any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but
is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful
by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example.

The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor
configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while
allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As
usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration
variable.

It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same
mechanism.

Most of what is in gitweb.txt it has been pulled directly from the
README and INSTALL files of gitweb.

Current version is somewhat based on structure of SVN::Web manpage
(one of web interfaces for Subversion).

gitweb.conf(5) i.e. gitweb configuration manpage now refers to
appropriate sections in gitweb(1).  gitweb/README now refers to
gitweb/INSTALL and gitweb(1) manpage.  gitweb/INSTALL now refers to
gitweb.conf(5) and gitweb(1).

6d3902b0d0 gitweb: Add gitweb.conf(5) manpage for gitweb configuration files
Much of what is in gitweb.conf.txt has been pulled directly from the
README file of gitweb.  The manpage was supplemented with description
of missing gitweb config variables, and with description of gitweb's
%features.

There remains a bit of redundancy, which should be reduced if
possible... but I think some of duplication of information is
inevitable.

afd7f1eb0f git svn dcommit: new option --interactive.
Allow the user to check the patch set before it is commited to SVN. It is
then possible to accept/discard one patch, accept all, or quit.

This interactive mode is similar with 'git send email' behaviour. However,
'git svn dcommit' returns as soon as one patch is discarded.
Part of the code was taken from git-send-email.perl (see 'ask' function)

Tests several combinations of potential answers to
'git svn dcommit --interactive'. For each of them, test whether patches
were commited to SVN or not.

Thanks-to Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> for the initial idea.

d5570f4d2c daemon: give friendlier error messages to clients
When the git-daemon is asked about an inaccessible repository, it simply
hangs up the connection without saying anything further. This makes it
hard to distinguish between a repository we cannot access (e.g., due to
typo), and a service or network outage.

Instead, let's print an "ERR" line, which git clients understand since
v1.6.1 (2008-12-24).

Because there is a risk of leaking information about non-exported
repositories, by default all errors simply say "access denied or
repository not exported". Sites which don't have hidden repositories, or
don't care, can pass a flag to turn on more specific messages.

66f4b98ad9 Teach merge the '[-e|--edit]' option
Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit"
so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge".

Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one
gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one
gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status
information if desired.

Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the
prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and
leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only
stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

14937c2c06 diff: add option to show whole functions as context
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff.  It is similar to
the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks
so that the whole surrounding function is shown.  This "natural"
context can allow changes to be understood better.

Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option;
it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after
changes.  git apply doesn't complain.

This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep,
namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a
function.  That means that a few lines of extra context are shown,
right up to the next recognized function begins.  It's already
useful in its current form, though.

The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work
forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as
pre-context.  It returns the position of the first found matching
line.  The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need
it for -W.

The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend
the context as needed.  If the added context overlaps with the
next change, it is merged into the current hunk.

b7200e8397 branch: teach --edit-description option
Using branch.$name.description as the configuration key, give users a
place to write about what the purpose of the branch is and things like
that, so that various subsystems, e.g. "push -s", "request-pull", and
"format-patch --cover-letter", can later be taught to use this
information.

The "-m" option similar to "commit/tag" is deliberately omitted, as the
whole point of branch description is about giving descriptive information
(the name of the branch itself is a better place for information that fits
on a single-line).

a40e6fb67a Change check_refname_format() to reject unnormalized refnames
Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with
unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them.

Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default.  But add an option --normalize, which causes "git
check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format,
and print the normalized refname.  This is exactly the behavior of the
old --print option, which is retained but deprecated.

7e9d2fe960 Do not allow ".lock" at the end of any refname component
Allowing any refname component to end with ".lock" is looking for
trouble; for example,

    $ git br foo.lock/bar
    $ git br foo

e4ed6105ec git check-ref-format: add options --allow-onelevel and --refspec-pattern
Also add tests of the new options.  (Actually, one big reason to add
the new options is to make it easy to test check_ref_format(), though
the options should also be useful to other scripts.)

Interpret the result of check_ref_format() based on which types of
refnames are allowed.  However, because check_ref_format() can only
return a single value, one test case is still broken.  Specifically,
the case "git check-ref-format --onelevel '*'" incorrectly succeeds
because check_ref_format() returns CHECK_REF_FORMAT_ONELEVEL for this
refname even though the refname is also CHECK_REF_FORMAT_WILDCARD.
The type of check that leads to this failure is used elsewhere in
"real" code and could lead to bugs; it will be fixed over the next few
commits.

87182b17ed use -h for synopsis and --help for manpage consistently
A few scripted Porcelain implementations pretend as if the routine to show
their own help messages are triggered upon "git cmd --help", but a command
line parser of "git" will hijack such a request and shows the manpage for
the cmd subcommand.

Leaving the code to handle such input is simply misleading.

0a93fb8a9c grep: teach --untracked and --exclude-standard options
In a working tree of a git managed repository, "grep --untracked" would
find the specified patterns from files in untracked files in addition to
its usual behaviour of finding them in the tracked files.

By default, when working with "--no-index" option, "grep" does not pay
attention to .gitignore mechanism. "grep --no-index --exclude-standard"
can be used to tell the command to use .gitignore and stop reporting hits
from files that would be ignored. Also, when working without "--no-index",
"grep" honors .gitignore mechanism, and "grep --no-exclude-standard" can
be used to tell the command to include hits from files that are ignored.

8a55caa8a3 ident: check /etc/mailname if email is unknown
Before falling back to gethostname(), check /etc/mailname if
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is not set in the environment or through config
files.  Only fall back if /etc/mailname cannot be opened or read.

The /etc/mailname convention comes from Debian policy section 11.6
("mail transport, delivery and user agents"), though maybe it could be
useful sometimes on other machines, too.  The lack of this support was
noticed by various people in different ways:

 - Ian observed that git was choosing the address
   'ian@anarres.relativity.greenend.org.uk' rather than
   'ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk' as it should have done.

 - Jonathan noticed that operations like "git commit" were needlessly
   slow when using a resolver that was slow to handle reverse DNS
   lookups.

Alas, after this patch, if /etc/mailname is set up and the [user] name
and email configuration aren't, the committer email will not provide a
charming reminder of which machine commits were made on any more.  But
I think it's worth it.

Mechanics: the functionality of reading mailname goes in its own
function, so people who care about other distros can easily add an
implementation to a similar location without making copy_email() too
long and losing clarity.  While at it, we split out the fallback
default logic that does gethostname(), too (rearranging it a little
and adding a check for errors from gethostname while at it).

Based on a patch by Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org>.

b04ba2bb42 parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN
It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be
used in this way:

	int option = -1; /* unspecified */

	struct option options[] = {
		OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "option", &option, "set option"),
                OPT_END()
	};
	parse_options(ac, av, prefix, options, usage, 0);

        if (option < 0)
        	... do the default thing ...
	else if (!option)
		... --no-option was given ...
	else
		... --option was given ...

to easily tell three cases apart:

 - There is no mention of the `--option` on the command line;
 - The variable is positively set with `--option`; or
 - The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable
every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option`
is given.

As a first step to remedy this, introduce a true boolean OPT_BOOL(), and
rename OPT_BOOLEAN() to OPT_COUNTUP(). To help transitioning, OPT_BOOLEAN
and OPTION_BOOLEAN are defined as deprecated synonyms to OPT_COUNTUP and
OPTION_COUNTUP respectively.

This is what db7244b (parse-options new features., 2007-11-07) from four
years ago started by marking OPTION_BOOLEAN as "INCR would have been a
better name".

Some existing users do depend on the count-up semantics; for example,
users of OPT__VERBOSE() could use it to raise the verbosity level with
repeated use of `-v` on the command line, but they probably should be
rewritten to use OPT__VERBOSITY() instead these days.  I suspect that some
users of OPT__FORCE() may also use it to implement different level of
forcibleness but I didn't check.

On top of this patch, here are the remaining clean-up tasks that other
people can help:

 - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT_BOOLEAN"; trace all uses of the
   value that is set to the underlying variable, and if it can proven that
   the variable is only used as a boolean, replace it with OPT_BOOL(). If
   the caller does depend on the count-up semantics, replace it with
   OPT_COUNTUP() instead.

 - Same for OPTION_BOOLEAN; replace it with OPTION_SET_INT and arrange to
   set 1 to the variable for a true boolean, and otherwise replace it with
   OPTION_COUNTUP.

 - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT__VERBOSE -e OPT__QUIET" and see if
   they can be replaced with OPT__VERBOSITY().

I'll follow this message up with a separate patch as an example.

5e82123197 git-read-tree.txt: update sparse checkout examples
The negation example uses '*' to match everything. This used to work
before 9037026 (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match
directories") because back then, the list of paths is used to match
sparse patterns, so with the patterns

    *
    !subdir/

subdir/ always matches any path that start with subdir/ and "*" has no
chance to get tested. The result is subdir is excluded.

After the said commit, a tree structure is dynamically created and
sparse pattern matching now follows closely how read_directory()
applies .gitignore. This solves one problem, but reveals another one.

With this new strategy, "!subdir/" rule will be only tested once when
"subdir" directory is examined. Entries inside subdir, when examined,
will match "*" and are (correctly) re-added again because any rules
without a slash will match at every directory level. In the end, "*"
can revert every negation rules.

In order to correctly exclude subdir, we must use

    /*
    !subdir

to limit "match all" rule at top level only.

"*" rule has no actual use in sparse checkout and can be confusing to
users. While we can automatically turn "*" to "/*", this violates
.gitignore definition. Instead, discourage "*" in favor of "/*" (in
the second example).

3e8e691abe mergetool: Use args as pathspec to unmerged files
Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git
subcommands), restricting action to the given files and directories.
Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on
unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an
unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their
other stages.

Running "git mergetool subdir" will prompt to resolve all conflicted
blobs under subdir.

1f1f575ebe git-read-tree.txt: correct sparse-checkout and skip-worktree description
The description of .git/info/sparse-checkout and
skip-worktree is exactly the opposite of what is true, which is:

If a file matches a pattern in sparse-checkout, then (it is to be
checked out and therefore) skip-worktree is unset for that file;
otherwise, it is set (so that it is not checked out).

Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's
behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly.

Fix it.

In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore"
or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout,
and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes
and skip-worktree.

c1189caeaf refactor argv_array into generic code
The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a
dynamic argv array. Many other parts of the code can reuse
this, too, so let's make it generically available.

There are two enhancements not found in the original code:

  1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly,
     even when no strings have been pushed (before, you
     could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem
     for the submodule code, which always pushed at least
     one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for
     generic code.

  2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function.
     This is a convenience function which was not needed by
     the submodule code, but will make it easier to port
     other users to the new code.

1e5814f3de git-svn: teach git-svn to populate svn:mergeinfo
Allow git-svn to populate the svn:mergeinfo property automatically in
a narrow range of circumstances. Specifically, when dcommitting a
revision with multiple parents, all but (potentially) the first of
which have been committed to SVN in the same repository as the target
of the dcommit.

In this case, the merge info is the union of that given by each of the
parents, plus all changes introduced to the first parent by the other
parents.

In all other cases where a revision to be committed has multiple
parents, cause "git svn dcommit" to raise an error rather than
completing the commit and potentially losing history information in
the upstream SVN repository.

This behavior is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting
the svn.pushmergeinfo config option.

9609dc9ddc (short) documentation for the testgit remote helper
While it's not a command meant to be used by actual users (hence, not
mentionned in git(1)), this command is a very precious help for
remote-helpers authors.

The best place for such technical doc is the source code, but users may
not find it without a link in a manpage.

960e311496 Documentation/git-remote-helpers: explain how import works with multiple refs
This is important for two reasons:

* when two "import" lines follow each other, only one "done" command
  should be issued in the fast-import stream, not one per "import".

* The blank line terminating an import command should not be confused
  with the one terminating the sequence of commands.

While we're there, illustrate the corresponding explanation for push
batches with an example.

98c4ab32f8 git-svn: Teach dcommit --mergeinfo to handle multiple lines
"svn dcommit --mergeinfo" replaces the svn:mergeinfo property in an
upstream SVN repository with the given text. The svn:mergeinfo
property may contain commits originating on multiple branches,
separated by newlines.

Cause space characters in the mergeinfo to be replaced by newlines,
allowing a user to create history representing multiple branches being
merged into one.

Update the corresponding documentation and add a test for the new
functionality.

40a1530c07 git-svn: New flag to emulate empty directories
Adds a --preserve-empty-dirs flag to the clone operation that will detect
empty directories in the remote Subversion repository and create placeholder
files in the corresponding local Git directories.  This allows "empty"
directories to exist in the history of a Git repository.

Also adds the --placeholder-file flag to control the name of any placeholder
files created.  Default value is ".gitignore".

b15b5b10a7 Documentation: clarify effects of -- <path> arguments
'git log -- <path>' does not "show commits that affect the specified
paths" in a literal sense unless --full-history is given (for example,
a file that only existed on a side branch will turn up no commits at
all!).

Reword it to specify the actual intent of the filtering, and point to
the "History Simplification" section.

b4fc8d6ac6 Documentation/remote-helpers: explain capabilities first
The current remote helper documentation is from the perspective of
git, so to speak: it presents a full menu of commands for a person
invoking a remote helper to choose from.  In practice, that's less
useful than it could be, since the daunted novice remote-helper author
probably just wanted a list of commands needs to implement to get
started.  So preface the command list with an overview of each
capability, its purpose, and what commands it requires.

As a side effect, this makes it a little clearer that git doesn't
choose arbitrary commands to run, even if the remote helper advertises
all capabilities --- instead, there are well defined command sequences
for various tasks.

b6194678b0 Documentation: clarify "git clean -e <pattern>"
The current explanation of -e can be misread as allowing the user to say

    I know 'git clean -XYZ' (substitute -XYZ with any option and/or
    parameter) will remove paths A, B, and C, and I want them all removed
    except for paths matching this pattern by adding '-e C' to the same
    command line, i.e. 'git clean -e C -XYZ'.

But that is not what this option does. It augments the set of ignore rules
from the command line, just like the same "-e <pattern>" argument does
with the "ls-files" command (the user could probably pass "-e \!C" to tell
the command to clean everything the command would normally remove, except
for C). Also error out when both -x and -e are given with an explanation of
what -e means---it is a symptom of misunderstanding what -e does.

It also fixes small style nit in the parameter to add_exclude() call. The
current code only works because EXC_CMDL happens to be defined as 0.

cddd127b9a branch: introduce --list option
Currently, there is no way to invoke the list mode explicitly, without
giving -v to force verbose output.

Introduce a --list option which invokes the list mode. This will be
beneficial for invoking list mode with pattern matching, which otherwise
would be interpreted as branch creation.

Along with --list, test also combinations of existing options.

11432bb467 git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -F
The current description of '-C' together with the analogy to 'git commit
-C' can lead to the wrong conclusion that '-C' copies notes between
objects. Make this clearer by rewording and pointing to 'copy'.

The example for attaching binary notes with 'git hash-object' followed
by 'git notes add -C' immediately raises the question: "Why not use 'git
notes add -F'?". Answer it (the latter is not binary-safe).

d2b17b3220 push: Don't push a repository with unpushed submodules
When working with submodules it is easy to forget to push a
submodule to the server but pushing a super-project that
contains a commit for that submodule. The result is that the
superproject points at a submodule commit that is not available
on the server.

This adds the option --recurse-submodules=check to push. When
using this option git will check that all submodule commits that
are about to be pushed are present on a remote of the submodule.

To be able to use a combined diff, disabling a diff callback has
been removed from combined-diff.c.

fast-import command-line option --import-marks-if-exists was introduced
in commit dded4f1 (fast-import: Introduce --import-marks-if-exists, 2011-01-15)

--import-marks option can be set via a "feature" command in a fast-import
stream and --import-marks-if-exists had support for such specification
from the very beginning too due to some shared codebase. Though the
documentation for this feature wasn't written in dded4f1.

Add the documentation for "feature import-marks-if-exists=<file>". Also add
a minimalistic test for it.

322bb6e12f add update 'none' flag to disable update of submodule by default
This is useful to mark a submodule as unneeded by default. When this
option is set and the user wants to work with such a submodule he
needs to configure 'submodule.<name>.update=checkout' or pass the
--checkout option. Then the submodule can be handled like a normal
submodule.

4b4963c0e1 fast-import: check committer name more strictly
The documentation declares following identity format:
(<name> SP)? LT <email> GT
where name is any string without LF and LT characters.
But fast-import just accepts any string up to first GT
instead of checking the whole format, and moreover just
writes it as is to the commit object.

git-fsck checks for [^<\n]* <[^<>\n]*> format. Note that the
space is mandatory. And the space quirk is already handled via
extending the string to the left when needed.

Modify fast-import input identity format to a slightly stricter
one - deny LF, LT and GT in both <name> and <email>. And check
for it.

This is stricter then git-fsck as fsck accepts "Name> <email>"
currently, but soon fsck check will be adjusted likewise.

24c512803d bisect: add support for bisecting bare repositories
This enhances the support for bisecting history in bare repositories.

The "git bisect" command no longer needs to be run inside a repository
with a working tree; it defaults to --no-checkout when run in a bare
repository.

Two tests are included to demonstrate this behaviour.

5a5d80f4ca revert: Introduce --continue to continue the operation
Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the
information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped
because of a conflict or other error.  It works by dropping the first
instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining
cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the
initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".

So now you can do:

  $ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
  ... description conflict in commit moo ...
  $ git cherry-pick --continue
  error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
  fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
  $ echo resolved >conflictingfile
  $ git add conflictingfile && git commit
  $ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"

During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing
the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit.  Note that the
cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is
free to violate anything that was specified during the first
cherry-pick invocation.  For example, if "-x" was specified during the
first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message
during commit time.  Note that the "--signoff" option specified at
cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message
provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add
"--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.

5d2fc9135a docs: put listed example commands in backticks
Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing
blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of
special characters.  Some manpages make a list of examples, like:

  git foo::
    Run git foo.

  git foo -q::
    Use the "-q" option.

to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to
read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for
example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be
difficult).

This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the
equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without
character interpretation).

As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which
"git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list,
and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

26ae337be1 revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state
To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or
revert invocation, introduce a new subcommand called "--reset" to
remove the sequencer state.

Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a
generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series.  Introducing this public API
is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out
functions from revert.c into a generic commit sequencer.
