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.

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.

check-attr and check-ignore have the potential to deadlock callers
which do not read back the output in real-time. For example, if a
caller writes N paths out and then reads N lines back in, it risks
becoming blocked on write() to check-*, and check-* is blocked on
write back to the caller. Somebody has to buffer; the pipe buffers
provide some leeway, but they are limited.

An earlier workaround designed to help people who list logical
directories that will not match what getcwd(3) returns in the
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES had an adverse effect when it is slow to
stat and readlink a directory component of an element listed on it.
* mh/maint-ceil-absolute:
Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
Commit 1b77d83cab 'setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks
in ceiling paths' changed the setup code to resolve symlinks in the
entries in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES. Because those entries are
compared textually to the symlink-resolved current directory, an
entry in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contained a symlink would have
no effect. It was known that this could cause performance problems
if the symlink resolution *itself* touched slow filesystems, but it
was thought that such use cases would be unlikely. The intention of
the earlier change was to deal with a case when the user has this:
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/home/gitster
but in reality, /home/gitster is a symbolic link to somewhere else,
e.g. /net/machine/home4/gitster. A textual comparison between the
specified value /home/gitster and the location getcwd(3) returns
would not help us, but readlink("/home/gitster") would still be
fast.
After this change was released, Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>
reported:
> [...] my computer has been acting so slow when I’m not connected to
> the network. I put various network filesystem paths in
> $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, such as
> /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n/andersk (to avoid hitting its parents
> /afs/athena.mit.edu, /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a, and
> /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n which all live in different AFS
> volumes). Now when I’m not connected to the network, every
> invocation of Git, including the __git_ps1 in my shell prompt, waits
> for AFS to timeout.
To allow users to work around this problem, give them a mechanism to
turn off symlink resolution in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES entries. All
the entries that follow an empty entry will not be checked for symbolic
links and used literally in comparison. E.g. with these:
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=:/foo/bar:/xyzzy or
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/foo/bar::/xyzzy
we will not readlink("/xyzzy") because it comes after an empty entry.
With the former (but not with the latter), "/foo/bar" comes after an
empty entry, and we will not readlink it, either.
