0b437a18bd use logical OR (||) instead of binary OR (|) in logical context
The compiler can short-circuit the evaluation of conditions strung
together with logical OR operators instead of computing the resulting
bitmask with binary ORs.  More importantly, this patch makes the
intent of the changed code clearer, because the logical context (as
opposed to binary context) becomes immediately obvious.

While we're at it, simplify the check for patch->is_rename in
builtin/apply.c a bit; it can only be 0 or 1, so we don't need a
comparison operator.

Introduce advice.rmHints to choose whether to display advice or not

As an example, the message:

	(use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal)

2cc0f53b53 add--interactive: respect diff.algorithm
When staging hunks interactively it is sometimes useful to use an
alternative diff algorithm which splits the changes into hunks in a more
logical manner.  This is not possible because the plumbing commands
called by add--interactive ignore the "diff.algorithm" configuration
option (as they should).

Since add--interactive is a porcelain command it should respect this
configuration variable.  To do this, make it read diff.algorithm and
pass its value to the underlying diff-index and diff-files invocations.

At this point, do not add options to "git add", "git reset" or "git
checkout" (all of which can call git-add--interactive).  If a user
wants to override the value on the command line they can use:

	git -c diff.algorithm=$ALGO ...

1af6a877c5 contrib: drop blameview/ directory
Blameview was a quick-and-dirty demonstration of how blame's
incremental output could be used in an interface. These days
one can find much better (and less ugly!) demonstrations in
"git gui blame" and "tig blame".

The only advantage blameview has is that its code is perhaps
simpler to read. However, that is balanced by the fact that
it probably has bugs, as nobody uses it nor has touched the
code in 6 years. An implementor is probably better off just
reading the "incremental output" section of "man git-blame".

49c2470400 Move copy_note_for_rewrite + friends from builtin/notes.c to notes-utils.c
This is a pure code movement of the machinery for copying notes to
rewritten objects. This code was located in builtin/notes.c for
historical reasons. In order to make it available to builtin/commit.c
it was declared in builtin.h. This was more of an accident of history
than a concious design, and we now want to make this machinery more
widely available.

Hence, this patch moves the code into the new notes-utils.[hc] files
which are included into libgit.a. Except for adjusting #includes
accordingly, this patch merely moves the relevant functions verbatim
into the new files.

80a14665b1 finish_copy_notes_for_rewrite(): Let caller provide commit message
When copying notes for a rewritten object, the resulting notes commit
would have the following hardcoded commit message:

  Notes added by 'git notes copy'

This is obviously bogus when the notes rewriting is performed by
'git commit --amend'.

Therefore, let the caller specify an appropriate notes commit message
instead of hardcoding it. The above message is used for 'git notes copy',
but when calling finish_copy_notes_for_rewrite() from builtin/commit.c,
we use the following message instead:

  Notes added by 'git commit --amend'

81c6b38b67 log: --author-date-order
Sometimes people would want to view the commits in parallel
histories in the order of author dates, not committer dates.

to record the author dates of each commit, and prio-queue to sort
them.

b4b594a315 prio-queue: priority queue of pointers to structs
Traditionally we used a singly linked list of commits to hold a set
of in-flight commits while traversing history.  The most typical use
of the list is to add commits that are newly discovered to it, keep
the list sorted by commit timestamp, pick up the newest one from the
list, and keep digging.  The cost of keeping the singly linked list
sorted is nontrivial, and this typical use pattern better matches a
priority queue.

Introduce a prio-queue structure, that can be used either as a LIFO
stack, or a priority queue.  This will be used in the next patch to
hold in-flight commits during sort-in-topological-order.

Tests and the idea to make it usable for any "void *" pointers to
"things" are by Jeff King.  Bugs are mine.

08f704f294 toposort: rename "lifo" field
The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a
parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are.  When
traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E":

    A----B----C
     \
      D----E

we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B
has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done.

In some applications, however, we would further want to control how
these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains
are shown.

Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and
then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output).  The
"lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used
to control this behaviour.  We start the traversal by knowing two
commits, C and E.  While keeping in mind that we also need to
inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and
record that B needs to be inspected.  By structuring the "work to be
done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next,
before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to
inspect, e.g. E.

When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered
by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing
A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together.
When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work
to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics.
After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the
next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B.

The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the
function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the
behaviour _means_.

Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible
values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and
update the existing code.  The mechanical replacement rule is:

  "lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE"
  "lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER"

362de916c0 Git 1.8.3.1
Primarily to push out two regression issues that seem to affect many
people, namely, the ".gitignore !directory" bug and "daemon cannot
read from $HOME owned by root" bug.

Returning the SIGALRM handler for SIGINT is not very useful.

4c7f1819b3 make color.ui default to 'auto'
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").

Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.

These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.

A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.

A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.

The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

b1c418e155 Merge branch 'jn/config-ignore-inaccessible' into maint
A git daemon that starts as "root" and then drops privilege often
leaves $HOME set to that of the root user, which is unreadable by
the daemon process, which was diagnosed as a configuration error.

Make per-user configuration files that are inaccessible due to
EACCES as though these files do not exist to avoid this issue, as
the tightening which was originally meant as an additional security
has annoyed enough sysadmins.

* jn/config-ignore-inaccessible:
  config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOME
