8813df9066 Documentation: remove {show,whatchanged}.difftree config options
This removes, from the documentation and the bash completion script, the
two config options that were introduced by the git-whatchanged.sh script
and lost in the C rewrite. Today, we can use aliases as an alternative.

aafe9fbaf4 Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.

[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing.  Hell really _has_ frozen
    over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.

Change cd67e4d4 introduced a new configuration parameter that told
pull to automatically perform a rebase instead of a merge.  This
change provides a configuration option to enable this feature
automatically when creating a new branch.

If the variable branch.autosetuprebase applies for a branch that's
being created, that branch will have branch.<name>.rebase set to true.

84bb2dfd9f Add a remote.*.mirror configuration option
This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that,
when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that
remote.

Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote
add --mirror'.

The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option.  Since I was touching related
code, I did this fix too.

06cbe85503 Make core.sharedRepository more generic
git init --shared=0xxx, where '0xxx' is an octal number, will create
a repository with file modes set to '0xxx'. Users with a safe umask
value (0077) can use this option to force file modes. For example,
'0640' is a group-readable but not group-writable regardless of
user's umask value. Values compatible with old Git versions are written
as they were before, for compatibility reasons. That is, "1" for
"group" and "2" for "everybody".

"git config core.sharedRepository 0xxx" is also handled.

25ee9731c1 gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.

Since it is dangerous, we told users so.  That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.

Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.

Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation.  This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).

If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be

	[gc]
		pruneExpire = 6.months.ago

or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.

Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.

While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.

964473a042 Teach git mergetool to use custom commands defined at config time
Currently git mergetool is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the mergetool.<tool>.path to force
git mergetool to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.

This patch adds two git config variable patterns which allow a more
flexible choice of merge tool.

If you run git mergetool with -t/--tool or the merge.tool config
variable set to an unrecognized tool then git mergetool will query the
mergetool.<tool>.cmd config variable. If this variable exists, then git
mergetool will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use
a shell eval to run the command with the documented shell variables set.

mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode can be used to indicate that the exit
code of the custom command can be used to determine the success of the
merge.

94c22a5e7b log/show/whatchanged: introduce format.pretty configuration
When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may
want to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt>
option every time from the command line.  This teaches these three
commands to honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.

The --pretty option given from the command line will override the
configured format.

The earlier patch fixed the in-tree callers that run these commands
for purposes other than showing the output directly to the end user
(the only other in-tree caller is "git bisect visualize", whose output
directly goes to the end user and should be affected by this patch).

Similar fixes will be needed for end-user scripts that parse the
output from these commands and expect them to be in the default pretty
format.

844112cac0 url rewriting: take longest and first match
Earlier we had a cop-out in the documentation to make the
behaviour "undefined" if configuration had more than one
insteadOf that would match the target URL, like this:

    [url "git://git.or.cz/"]
	insteadOf = "git.or.cz:"       ; (1)
	insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:"      ; (2)
    [url "/local/mirror/"]
	insteadOf = "git.or.cz:myrepo" ; (3)
	insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:"      ; (4)

It would be most natural to take the longest and first match, i.e.

 - rewrite "git.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by using
   (1),

 - rewrite "git.or.cz:myrepo/xyzzy" to "/local/mirror/xyzzy" by favoring
   (3) over (1), and

 - rewrite "repo.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by
   favoring (2) over (4).

55029ae4da Add support for url aliases in config files
This allows users with different preferences for access methods to the
same remote repositories to rewrite each other's URLs by pattern
matching across a large set of similiarly set up repositories to each
get the desired access.

For example, if you don't have a kernel.org account, you might want
settings like:

[url "git://git.kernel.org/pub/"]
      insteadOf = master.kernel.org:/pub

Then, if you give git a URL like:

  master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git

it will act like you gave it:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git

and you can cut-and-paste pull requests in email without fixing them
by hand, for example.

above 1. Because of that, the code-path used is often not the
most optimal one.

This patch adds a routine to detect the number of online CPU's
at runtime (online_cpus()). When pack.threads (or --threads=) is
given a value of 0, the number of threads is set to the number of
online CPU's. This feature is also documented.

As per Nicolas Pitre's recommendations, the default is still to
run pack-objects single-threaded unless explicitly activated,
either by configuration or by command line parameter.

The routine online_cpus() is a rework of "numcpus.c", written by
one Philip Willoughby <pgw99@doc.ic.ac.uk>. numcpus.c is in the
public domain and can presently be downloaded from
http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/numcpus/
