When switching branches with "git checkout", we internally did $arg^0
(aka $arg^{commit}) suffix but there was no need to.
The improvement is easily visible in the change to an existing
test t/3200-branch.sh in this commit; it was expecting rather
ugly message.

After making commits in the detached HEAD state, if you run "git
checkout" to switch to an existing branch, you will lose your
work. Make sure the switched-to branch is a fast-forward of the
current HEAD, or require -f when switching.

We used to say "you are not on a branch" before the initial
commit. This is incorrect -- the user is on a branch yet to be
born, but its name has been already determined.

This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of
repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch"
starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go
back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for
example.
This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to
allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous
unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout
master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want
to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find
that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches.
There is no such safety valve implemented right now.
On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc
work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because
the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not
having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after
accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always
create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful
work done while the HEAD was detached.
We'll see.

Sometimes, people have only fetch access into a bare repository
that is used as a back-up location (or a distribution point) but
does not have a push access for networking reasons, e.g. one end
being behind a firewall, and updating the "current branch" in
such a case is perfectly fine.
This allows such a fetch without --update-head-ok, which is a
flag that should never be used by end users otherwise.

This removes the old is_bare_git_dir(const char *) to ask if a
directory, if it is a GIT_DIR, is a bare repository, and
replaces it with is_bare_repository(void *). The function looks
at core.bare configuration variable if exists but uses the old
heuristics: if it is ".git" or ends with "/.git", then it does
not look like a bare repository, otherwise it does.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The patches to prevent Porcelainish that require working tree
from doing any damage in a bare repository make a lot of sense,
and I want to make the is_bare_git_dir() function more reliable.
In order to allow the repository owner override the heuristic
implemented in is_bare_git_dir() if/when it misidentifies a
particular repository, it would make sense to introduce a new
configuration variable "[core] bare = true/false", and make
is_bare_git_dir() notice it.
The scripts would do a 'repo-config --bool --get core.bare' and
iff the command fails (i.e. there is no such variable in the
configuration file), it would use the heuristic implemented at
the script level [*1*].
However, setup_git_env() which is called a lot earlier than we
even read from the repository configuration currently makes a
call to is_bare_git_dir(), in order to change the default
setting for log_all_ref_updates. It somehow feels that this is
a hack.
By the way, [*1*] is another thing I hate about the current
config mechanism. "git-repo-config --get" does not know what
the possible configuration variables are, let alone what the
default values for them are. It allows us not to maintain a
centralized configuration table, which makes it easy to
introduce ad-hoc variables and gives a warm fuzzy feeling of
being modular, but my feeling is that it is turning out to be a
rather high price to pay for scripts.

With this patch, cvsimport will skip commits made
in the last 10 minutes. The recent-ness test is of
5 minutes + cvsps fuzz window (5 minutes default).
When working with a CVS repository that is in use,
importing commits that are too recent can lead to
partially incorrect trees. This is mainly due to
- Commits that are within the cvsps fuzz window may later
be found to have affected more files.
- When performing incremental imports, clock drift between
the systems may lead to skipped commits.
This commit helps keep incremental imports of in-use
CVS repositories sane.

The goals are:
- Readable from beginning to end in order without having read
any other git documentation beforehand.
- Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too
hard to skip around some if you need to.
- Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the
tutorials)
It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on
practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge
conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a
public repository.
I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the
discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's
OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this
if any parts seem more useful than the whole.)
There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just
because those are essential even to people needing read-only access
(e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter
once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are
taken into account.
I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we
need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and
I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

Since we use the reachability tracking machinery now, we should

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The logic in an earlier round to detect reflog entries that
point at a broken commit was not sufficient. Just like we do
not trust presense of a commit during pack transfer (we trust
only our refs), we should not trust a commit's presense, even if
the tree of that commit is complete.
A repository that had reflog enabled on some of the refs that
was rewound and then run git-repack or git-prune from older
versions of git can have reflog entries that point at a commit
that still exist but lack commits (or trees and blobs needed for
that commit) between it and some commit that is reachable from
one of the refs.
This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit"
becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and
there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob
objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the
refs. Entries in the reflog that refer to such a commit are
expired.
Since this computation involves traversing all the reachable
objects, i.e. it has the same cost as 'git prune', it is enabled
only when a new option --fix-stale. Fortunately, once this is
run, we should not have to ever worry about missing objects,
because the current prune and pack-objects know about reflogs
and protect objects referred by them.
Unfortunately, this will be absolutely necessary to help people
migrate to the newer prune and repack.
