The names and e-mails are sanitized by fmt_ident() when creating commits,
so that they do not contain "<" nor ">", and the "committer" and "author"
lines in the commit object will always be in the form:
("author" | "committer") name SP "<" email ">" SP timestamp SP zone
When parsing the email part out, the current code looks for SP starting
from the end of the email part, but the author could obfuscate the address
as "author at example dot com".
We should instead look for SP followed by "<", to match the logic of the
side that formats these lines.

'git rebase' uses 'git merge' to preserve merges (-p). This preserves
the original merge commit correctly, except when the original merge
commit was created by 'git merge --no-ff'. In this case, 'git rebase'
will fail to preserve the merge, because during 'git rebase', 'git
merge' will simply fast-forward and skip the commit. For example:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q
If we try to rebase M onto P, we lose the merge commit and this happens:
A---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
To correct this, we simply do a "no fast-forward" on all merge commits
when rebasing. Since by the time we decided to do a 'git merge' inside
'git rebase', it means there was a merge originally, so 'git merge'
should always create a merge commit regardless of what the merge
branches look like. This way, when rebase M onto P from the above
example, we get:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q

If somebody has a name that includes an rfc822 special, we
will output it literally in the "From:" header. This is
usually OK, but certain characters (like ".") are supposed
to be enclosed in double-quotes in a mail header.
In practice, whether this matters may depend on your MUA.
Some MUAs will happily take in:
From: Foo B. Bar <author@example.com>
without quotes, and properly quote the "." when they send
the actual mail. Others may not, or may screw up harder
things like:
From: Foo "The Baz" Bar <author@example.com>
For example, mutt will strip the quotes, thinking they are
actual syntactic rfc822 quotes.
So let's quote properly, and then (if necessary) we still
apply rfc2047 encoding on top of that, which should make all
MUAs happy.

For projects that do not release official archives, gitweb's snapshot
feature would be an excellent alternative, and but without the '-n'
('--no-name') argument, gzip includes a timestamp in output which results
in different files. Because some systems hash/checksum downloaded files
to ensure integrity of the tarball (e.g FreeBSD), it is desirable to
produce tarballs in a reproducible way for that purpose.
Whilst '--no-name' is more descriptive, the long version of the flag is
not supported on all systems. In particular, OpenBSD does not appear to
support it.
Supply '-n' to gzip to exclude timestamp from output and produce idential
output every time.

* js/maint-1.6.6-send-pack-stateless-rpc-deadlock-fix:
send-pack: avoid deadlock when pack-object dies early
Evil merge to adjust the way the use of pthreads in sideband-demultiplexor
was decided (earlier it was "if we are not on Windows", now it is "if we
are not using pthreads").
Send-pack deadlocks in two ways when pack-object dies early (for example,
because there is some repo corruption).
The first deadlock happens with the smart push protocol (--stateless-rpc).
After the initial rev-exchange, the remote is waiting for the pack data
to arrive, and the sideband demuxer at the local side continues trying to
stream data from the remote repository until it gets EOF. Meanwhile,
send-pack (in function pack_objects()) has noticed that pack-objects did
not produce output and died. Back in send_pack(), it now tries to clean
up the sideband demuxer using finish_async(). The demuxer, however, waits
for the remote end to close down, the remote waits for pack data, and
the reason that it still waits is that send-pack forgot to close the
outgoing channel. Add the missing close() in pack_objects().
The second deadlock happens in a similar constellation when the sideband
demuxer runs in a forked process (rather than in a thread). Again, the
remote end waits for pack data to arrive, the sideband demuxer waits for
the remote to shut down, and send-pack (in the regular clean-up) waits for
the demuxer to terminate. This time, the send-pack parent process closes
the writable end of the outgoing channel (in start_command() that spawned
pack-objects) so that after the death of the pack-objects process all
writable ends should have been closed and the remote repo should see EOF.
This does not happen, however, because when the sideband demuxer was forked
earlier, it also inherited a writable end; it remains open and keeps the
remote repo from seeing EOF. To break this deadlock, close the writable end
in the demuxer.

"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working
tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are
different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths
that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for
the paths that are deleted in the working tree.
It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is
unmerged. For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged
path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and
the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is
used to record the resolution of a conflict.
As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while
the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of
recording what the user resolved in the working tree.
Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path
exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on
the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files
not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update
the index to reflect the state of the working tree.
The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug
and the fix. The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind,
but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.

When relative dates are more than about a year ago, we start
writing them as "Y years, M months". At the point where we
calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a
number of days. We calculate these integers as:
Y = days / 365
M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30
This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the
nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1
year, 1 month").
We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end
up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just
be "2 years".
Implement this differently with months of size
onemonth = 365/12
so that
totalmonths = (long)( (days + onemonth/2)/onemonth )
years = totalmonths / 12
months = totalmonths % 12
In order to do this without floats, we write the first formula as
totalmonths = (days*12*2 + 365) / (365*2)

If start_command fails after forking and before exec finishes, there
is not much use in noticing an I/O error on top of that.
finish_command will notice that the child exited with nonzero status
anyway. So as noted in v1.7.0.3~20^2 (run-command.c: fix build
warnings on Ubuntu, 2010-01-30) and v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 (2011-03-16), it
is safe to ignore errors from write in this codepath.
Even so, the result from write contains useful information: it tells
us if the write was cancelled by a signal (EINTR) or was only
partially completed (e.g., when writing to an almost-full pipe).
Let's use write_in_full to loop until the desired number of bytes have
been written (still ignoring errors if that fails).
As a happy side effect, the assignment to a dummy variable to appease
gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE is no longer needed. xwrite and write_in_full
check the return value from write(2).
Noticed with gcc -Wunused-but-set-variable.

fixed it, the run_command facility would write a truncated error
message when the command is present but cannot be executed for some
other reason. For example, if I add a 'hello' command to git:
$ echo 'echo hello' >git-hello
$ chmod +x git-hello
$ PATH=.:$PATH git hello
hello
and make it non-executable, this is what I normally get:
$ chmod -x git-hello
$ git hello
fatal: cannot exec 'git-hello': Permission denied
But with the problematic versions, we get disturbing output:
$ PATH=.:$PATH git hello
fatal: $
Add some tests to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The hello-script used in these tests uses cat instead of echo because
on Windows the bash spawned by git converts LF to CRLF in text written
by echo while the bash running tests does not, causing the test to
fail if "echo" is used. Thanks to Hannes for noticing.

Add a DISCUSSION section to the "git format-patch" manual to encourage
people to send patches in a form that can be applied by "git am"
automatically. There are two such forms:
1. The default form in which most metadata goes in the mail header
and the message body starts with the patch description;
2. The snipsnip form in which a message starts with pertinent
discussion and ends with a patch after a "scissors" mark.
The example requires QP encoding in the "Subject:" header intended for
the mailer to give the reader a chance to reflect on that, rather than
being startled by it later. By contrast, in-body "From:" and
"Subject:" lines should be human-readable and not QP encoded.
