The version numbering scheme has changed since Git 1.9 and we
dropped the third dewey-decimal from the traditional numbering
(e.g. both 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 were major feature releases). This
release 1.9.1 is the first maintenance relase for Git 1.9.

Show the total number of paths and the number of paths shown so far
when "git difftool" prompts to launch an external diff tool, which
would give users some sense of progress.
* zk/difftool-counts:
diff.c: fix some recent whitespace style violations
difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the prompt
When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each
modified file to be viewed in an external diff program. At that
point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
of files in the diff queue.
Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:
Viewing: 'diff.c'
Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:
Consider the modified prompt:
Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:
The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
paths in the diff queue nor the current counter. To make this
"counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
without breaking existing ones by doing the following:
- Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;
- Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
current value of the counter (from diff_options); and
- Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

Document rules to use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable in the scripted
Porcelain. git-rebase--interactive locally violates them, but it
is a leaf user that does not call out to or dot-source other
scripts, so it does not urgently need to be fixed.
* jc/reflog-doc:
setup_reflog_action: document the rules for using GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
Labeled lists require a double colon.

git grep '[^:]:$' Documentation/\*.txt

Just like "make -C <directory>", make "git -C <directory> ..." to
go there before doing anything else.
* nr/git-cd-to-a-directory:
t0056: "git -C" test updates
git: run in a directory given with -C option
"git mv A B" when moving a submodule A does "the right thing",
inclusing relocating its working tree and adjusting the paths in
the .gitmodules file.
* jl/submodule-mv: (53 commits)
rm: delete .gitmodules entry of submodules removed from the work tree
mv: update the path entry in .gitmodules for moved submodules
submodule.c: add .gitmodules staging helper functions
mv: move submodules using a gitfile
mv: move submodules together with their work trees
rm: do not set a variable twice without intermediate reading.
t6131 - skip tests if on case-insensitive file system
parse_pathspec: accept :(icase)path syntax
pathspec: support :(glob) syntax
pathspec: make --literal-pathspecs disable pathspec magic
pathspec: support :(literal) syntax for noglob pathspec
kill limit_pathspec_to_literal() as it's only used by parse_pathspec()
parse_pathspec: preserve prefix length via PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN
parse_pathspec: make sure the prefix part is wildcard-free
rename field "raw" to "_raw" in struct pathspec
tree-diff: remove the use of pathspec's raw[] in follow-rename codepath
remove match_pathspec() in favor of match_pathspec_depth()
remove init_pathspec() in favor of parse_pathspec()
remove diff_tree_{setup,release}_paths
convert common_prefix() to use struct pathspec
...
This is similar in spirit to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...".
It takes more keypresses to invoke git command in a different
directory without leaving the current directory:
1. (cd ~/foo && git status)
git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status
GIT_DIR=~/foo/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=~/foo git status
2. (cd ../..; git grep foo)
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done
The methods shown above are acceptable for scripting but are too
cumbersome for quick command line invocations.
With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes:
1. git -C ~/foo status
2. git -C ../.. grep foo
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done
A new test script is added to verify the behavior of this option with
other path-related options like --git-dir and --work-tree.

Back when the core tutorial was written, `log` and `whatchanged`
were scripted Porcelains. In the "Inspecting Changes" section that
talks about the plumbing commands in the diff family, it made sense
to use `log` and `whatchanged` as good examples of the use of these
plumbing commands, and because even these scripted Porcelains were
novelty (there wasn't the new end-user tutorial written), it made
some sense to illustrate uses of the `git log` (and `git
whatchanged`) scripted Porcelain commands.
But we no longer have scripted `log` and `whatchanged` to serve as
examples, and this document is not where the end users learn what
`git log` command is about. Stop at briefly mentioning the
possibility of combining rev-list with diff-tree to build your own
log, and leave the end-user documentation of `log` to the new
tutorial and the user manual.
Also resurrect the last version of `git-log`, `git-whatchanged`, and
`git-show` to serve as examples to contrib/examples/ directory.
While at it, remove 'whatchanged' from a list of sample commands
that are affected by GIT_FLUSH environment variable. This is not
meant to be an exhaustive list but as a list of typical ones, and an
old command that is kept primarily for backward compatibility does
not belong to it.

:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with
WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The
difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed.
With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global
options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can:
- make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs
--literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it
disables _all_ pathspec magic.
- individually turn on globbing with :(glob)
- make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs
- individually turn off globbing with :(literal)
The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default
matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get
new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered
deprecated and discouraged to use.

--literal-pathspecs and its equivalent environment variable are
probably used for scripting. In that setting, pathspec magic may be
unwanted. Disabling globbing in individual pathspec can be done via
:(literal) magic.

The set_reflog_action helper (in git-sh-setup) is designed to be
used once at the very top of a program, like this in "git am", for
example:
set_reflog_action am
The helper function sets the given string to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION only
when GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is not yet set. Thanks to this, "git am",
when run as the top-level program, will use "am" in GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
and the reflog entries made by whatever it does will record the
updates of refs done by "am".
Because of the conditional assignment, when "git am" is run as a
subprogram (i.e. an implementation detail) of "git rebase" that
already sets GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to its own name, the call in "git am"
to the helper function at the beginning will *not* have any effect.
So "git rebase" can do this:
set_reflog_action rebase
... do its own preparation, like checking out "onto" commit
... decide to do "format-patch" to "am" pipeline
git format-patch --stdout >mbox
git am mbox
and the reflog entries made inside "git am" invocation will say
"rebase", not "am".
Calls to "git" commands that update refs would use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
to record who did that update. Most such calls in scripted Porcelains
do not define custom reflog message and rely on GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to
contain its (or its caller's, when it is called as a subprogram) name.
If a scripted Porcelain wants to record a custom reflog message for
a single invocation of "git" command (e.g. when "git rebase" uses
"git checkout" to detach HEAD at the commit a series is to be
replayed on), it needs to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to the custom
message and export it while calling the "git" command, but such an
assignment must be restricted to that single "git" invocation and
should not be left behind to affect later codepath.
Document the rules to avoid future confusion.

5f44324 (core: log offset pack data accesses happened - 2011-07-06)
provides a way to observe pack access patterns via a config
switch. Setting an environment variable looks more obvious than a
config var, especially when you just need to _observe_, and more
inline with other tracing knobs we have.
Document it as it may be useful for remote troubleshooting.
