2099bca9ed git-status: documentation improvements
This patch is the result of reading over git-status with an
editorial eye:

  - fix a few typo/grammatical errors
  - mention untracked output
  - present output types in the order they appear from the
    command

235997c90f git-bisect visualize: work in non-windowed environments better
This teaches "git bisect visualize" to be more useful in non-windowed
environments.

 (1) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is set, it continues to
     spawn gitk as before;

 (2) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is unset, "git log" is run
     to show the range of commits between the bad one and the good ones;

 (3) If only "-flag" options are given, "git log <options>" is run.
     E.g. "git bisect visualize --stat"

 (4) Otherwise, all of the given options are taken as the initial part
     of the command line and the commit range expression is given to
     that command.  E.g. "git bisect visualize tig" will run "tig"
     history viewer to show between the bad one and the good ones.

As "visualize" is a bit too long to type, we also give it a shorter
synonym "view".

c7860507f0 git-status documentation: mention subdirectory behaviour
Consistently with all other diff oriented commands, we have given paths
relative to the work tree root in git-status output for a long time.
This documents the recent behaviour change, as people's eyes (and worse
yet, scripts, although scripts should not parse "git status" output) may
depend on the old behaviour.

In the longer run, giving a --full-name option to git-diff Porcelain
similar to what ls-files has, and change the default for git-diff
Porcelain to show relative paths may be a good thing to do, in order to
hide the oddballness of this git-status behaviour, but that would have a
rather large impact to established expectation by existing users.

cf1b7869f0 Use gitattributes to define per-path whitespace rule
The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]).  This attribute gives you finer
control per path.

For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:

    frotz   whitespace
    nitfol  -whitespace
    xyzzy   whitespace=-trailing

all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'.  A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:

    *.c    whitespace
    *.py   whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab

in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

b4c61ed6d3 Color support for "git-add -i"
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.

A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.

A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.

For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text.  $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

0f6f5a4022 git config --get-colorbool
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from
the configuration file.

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff

inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if
color is to be used.  It exits with status 1 otherwise.

If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff true

When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output
if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or
"true"), and "false" otherwise.

36863af16e git-commit --allow-empty
It does not usually make sense to record a commit that has the exact
same tree as its sole parent commit and that is why git-commit prevents
you from making such a mistake, but when data from foreign scm is
involved, it is a different story.  We are equipped to represent such an
(perhaps insane, perhaps by mistake, or perhaps done on purpose) empty
change, and it is better to represent it bypassing the safety valve for
native use.

This is primarily for use by foreign scm interface scripts.

f2dc849e9c Add 'git fast-export', the sister of 'git fast-import'
This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.

For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.

Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip.  The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.

f01913e419 Add "--expire <time>" option to 'git prune'
Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects.
This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in
an ongoing operation.

This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects
which are older than a certain time.  For example, by

	git prune --expire 14.days

you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable
and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated).

The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime,
because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and
omitting the test when the platform does not support that
command line switch).

cd67e4d46b Teach 'git pull' about --rebase
When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a
fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge.

This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch
is ready to be submitted and needs to be update.

fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared
repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed
repository, such as WINE's.

As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by
defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is
interpreted as a bool.  This setting can be overridden on the command
line by --rebase and --no-rebase.

ae36bdcf51 push: use same rules as git-rev-parse to resolve refspecs
This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the
rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules
to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.

The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.

Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer
resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

3fb0028253 user-manual: Add section "Why bisecting merge commits can be harder ..."
This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting
merge commits to the user manual.  The original author is
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to
the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>.
His email was adapted for the manual.

The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig
patch series".  The text added requires good understanding of
merging and rebasing.  Therefore it should not be placed too
early in the manual.  Right after the section on "Problems with
rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason
for linearizing as much of the history as possible.

The text includes suggestions and fixes by
Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and
Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>.

From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302
("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot
that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing
monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible
in the resulting man page.

The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the
hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves
build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

27350891de rev-list: Introduce --quiet to avoid /dev/null redirects
Some uses of git-rev-list are to run it with --objects to see if
a range of objects between two or more commits is fully connected
or not.  In such a case the caller doesn't care about the actual
object names or hash hints so formatting this data only for it to
be dumped to /dev/null by a redirect is a waste of CPU time.  If
all the caller needs is the exit status then --quiet can be used
to bypass the commit and object formatting.

"git lost-found" obsolete.  It is time to deprecate "git lost-found".

6d0618a820 Add Documentation/CodingGuidelines
Even if our code is quite a good documentation for our coding style,
some people seem to prefer a document describing it.

The part about the shell scripts is clearly just copied from one of
Junio's helpful mails, and some parts were added from comments by
Junio, Andreas Ericsson and Robin Rosenberg.

d336fc096b Documentation: quote commit messages consistently.
Documentation quotes commit messages 14 times with double-quotes, and 7
times with single-quotes. The patch turns everything to double-quotes.

A nice side effect is that documentation becomes more Windoze-friendly
as AFAIK single quotes won't work there.

4d00bda2aa make the pack index version configurable
It is a good idea to use pack index version 2 all the time since it has
proper protection against propagation of certain pack corruptions when
repacking which is not possible with index version 1, as demonstrated
in test t5302.

Hence this config option.

The default is still pack index version 1.

to a section "generating patches.." which is missing from the git-diff
documentation.  This patch adapts diff-format.txt to additionally
mention the git-diff program, and includes diff-format.txt into
git-diff.txt.
