behaviour outside a directory under Git's control (otherwise the

Some "git notes" operations, e.g. "git log --notes=<note>", should
be able to read notes from any tree-ish that is shaped like a notes
tree, but the notes infrastructure required that the argument must
be a ref under refs/notes/. Loosen it to require a valid ref only
when the operation would update the notes (in which case we must
have a place to store the updated notes tree, iow, a ref).

Sometimes it's useful to know the main branch of a git repository
without actually downloading the repository. This can be done by
looking at the symrefs stored in the remote repository. Currently git
doesn't provide a simple way to show the symrefs stored on the remote
repository, even though the information is available. Add a --symref
command line argument to the ls-remote command, which shows the symrefs
in the remote repository.
While there, replace a literal tab in the format string with \t to make
it more obvious to the reader.

When working in a cross-platform environment, a user may want to
check if text files are stored normalized in the repository and
if .gitattributes are set appropriately.
Make it possible to let Git show the line endings in the index and
in the working tree and the effective text/eol attributes.
The end of line ("eolinfo") are shown like this:
"-text" binary (or with bare CR) file
"none" text file without any EOL
"lf" text file with LF
"crlf" text file with CRLF
"mixed" text file with mixed line endings.
The effective text/eol attribute is one of these:
"", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf"
git ls-files --eol gives an output like this:
i/none w/none attr/text=auto t/t5100/empty
i/-text w/-text attr/-text t/test-binary-2.png
i/lf w/lf attr/text eol=lf t/t5100/rfc2047-info-0007
i/lf w/crlf attr/text eol=crlf doit.bat
i/mixed w/mixed attr/ locale/XX.po
to show what eol convention is used in the data in the index ('i'),
and in the working tree ('w'), and what attribute is in effect,
for each path that is shown.

We can pass -o/--output-directory to the format-patch command to store

The case of usage of this configuration option can be convenience
to not pass every time -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.
The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line

init_notes() is the main point of entry to the notes API. It ensures
that the input can be used as ref, because it needs a ref to update to
store notes tree after modifying it.
There however are many use cases where notes tree is only read, e.g.
"git log --notes=...". Any notes-shaped treeish could be used for such
purpose, but it is not allowed due to existing restriction.
Allow treeish expressions to be used in the case the notes tree is going
to be used without write "permissions". Add a flag to distinguish
whether the notes tree is intended to be used read-only, or will be
updated.
With this change, operations that use notes read-only can be fed any
notes-shaped tree-ish can be used, e.g. git log --notes=notes@{1}.

Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit
codes:
- zero means the merge was successful
- a negative number means an error occurred
- a positive number indicates the number of conflicts
Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return
code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps
to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a
blob full of conflict-marker cruft!).
This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127,
which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This
also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts
of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus
the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced
to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255).
Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g.,
"-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in
practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written
to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit
forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did
not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the
resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without
converted into em-dashes.

The "--reference" option is not the only way to provide a repository
to borrow objects from. A repository that borrows from another
repository can be cloned with "clone --local" and the resulting
repository will borrow from the same repository, which the user
may want to "--dissociate" from.

"git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in

The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list
of things from the standard input are often shown like this:
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes>
This is problematic in a number of ways:
* The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the
output from another command, not feed them from a file.
* Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read
from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not
described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys
text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency.
* We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output>
* As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>,
the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename
becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the
help text.
Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation
clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard
input and what kind of things are expected on the input.

Previously, libcurl would follow redirection to any protocol
it was compiled for support with. This is desirable to allow
redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. However, it would even
successfully allow redirection from HTTP to SFTP, a protocol
that git does not otherwise support at all. Furthermore
git's new protocol-whitelisting could be bypassed by
following a redirect within the remote helper, as it was
only enforced at transport selection time.
This patch limits redirects within libcurl to HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP and FTPS. If there is a protocol-whitelist present, this
list is limited to those also allowed by the whitelist. As
redirection happens from within libcurl, it is impossible
for an HTTP redirect to a protocol implemented within
another remote helper.
When the curl version git was compiled with is too old to
support restrictions on protocol redirection, we warn the
user if GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL restrictions were requested. This
is a little inaccurate, as even without that variable in the
environment, we would still restrict SFTP, etc, and we do
not warn in that case. But anything else means we would
literally warn every time git accesses an http remote.
This commit includes a test, but it is not as robust as we
would hope. It redirects an http request to ftp, and checks
that curl complained about the protocol, which means that we
are relying on curl's specific error message to know what
happened. Ideally we would redirect to a working ftp server
and confirm that we can clone without protocol restrictions,
and not with them. But we do not have a portable way of
providing an ftp server, nor any other protocol that curl
supports (https is the closest, but we would have to deal
with certificates).

Make 'branch.c' use the 'filter_refs()' function provided by 'ref-filter'

We provide a sorting option provided for 'branch.c' by using the

'refname'. Since 'HEAD' is alphabatically before 'refs/...' we end up
with an array consisting of the 'HEAD' ref then the local branches and
finally the remote-tracking branches.
Also remove the 'ignore' variable from ref_array_item as it was
previously used for the '--merged' option and now that is handled by
ref-filter.
Modify some of the tests in t1430 to check the stderr for a warning
regarding the broken ref. This is done as ref-filter throws a warning
for broken refs rather than directly printing them.

If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).
Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).
A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.

If there is a pattern "!foo/bar", this patch makes it not exclude "foo"
right away. This gives us a chance to examine "foo" and re-include
"foo/bar".
In order for it to detect that the directory under examination should
not be excluded right away, in other words it is a parent directory of a
negative pattern, the "directory path" of the negative pattern must be
literal. Patterns like "!f?o/bar" can't stop "foo" from being excluded.
Basename matching (i.e. "no slashes in the pattern") or must-be-dir
matching (i.e. "trailing slash in the pattern") does not work well with
this. For example, if we descend in "foo" and are examining "foo/abc",
current code for "foo/" pattern will check if path "foo/abc", not "foo",
is a directory. The same problem with basename matching. These may need
big code reorg to make it work.

Improve the documentation of commands taking optional arguments in two
ways:

creating commits) when used without the optional argument.
* Document the syntax of these options.
For the second point, the behavior is documented in gitcli(7), but it is
easy for users to miss, and hard for the same user to understand why e.g.
"git status -u no" does not work.
Document this explicitly in the documentation of each short option having

Implement an `align` atom which left-, middle-, or right-aligns the
content between %(align:...) and %(end).
The "align:" is followed by `<width>` and `<position>` in any order
separated by a comma, where the `<position>` is either left, right or
middle, default being left and `<width>` is the total length of the
content with alignment. If the contents length is more than the width
then no alignment is performed. e.g. to align a refname atom to the
middle with a total width of 40 we can do:
--format="%(align:middle,40)%(refname)%(end)".
We introduce an `at_end` function for each element of the stack which
is to be called when the `end` atom is encountered. Using this we
implement end_align_handler() for the `align` atom, this aligns the
final strbuf by calling `strbuf_utf8_align()` from utf8.c.
Ensure that quote formatting is performed on the whole of
%(align:...)...%(end) rather than individual atoms inside. We skip
quote formatting for individual atoms when the current stack element
is handling an %(align:...) atom and perform quote formatting at the
end when we encounter the %(end) atom of the second element of then
stack.
