289ff5598f dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't list files in ignored directories
'git-status --ignored' lists both the ignored directory and the ignored
files if the files are in a tracked sub directory.

When recursing into sub directories in read_directory_recursive, pass on
the check_only parameter so that we don't accidentally add the files.

560bb7a7a1 dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't drop ignored directories
'git-status --ignored' drops ignored directories if they contain untracked
files in an untracked sub directory.

Fix it by getting exact (recursive) excluded status in treat_directory.

57148ebb30 glossary: improve definitions of refspec and pathspec
The exact definition of "refspec" can be found in git-fetch and
git-push manpages. So don't duplicate this here in the glossary.

Actually the definition of "pathspec" should be moved to a separate
file akin to the way it's done with "refspec". But this will only be
wortwhile when there's more to say about it. So for the time being
just improve the first sentence a little bit; fix the indentation of
the first paragraph after the bullet list and remove the one-item
list of magic signatures with its - for the user - unnecessary
introduction of "magic word 'top'".

a7f8b8ac94 bisect: Store first bad commit as comment in log file
When bisect successfully finds a single revision, the first bad commit
should be shown to human readers of 'git bisect log'.

This resolves the apparent disconnect between the bisection result and

0d957a4df5 transport-helper: add 'signed-tags' capability

b8bd826f3a transport-helper: pass --signed-tags=warn-strip to fast-export
Currently, attempting to push a signed tag to a remote helper which uses
fast-export results in the remote helper failing because the default
fast-export action for signed tags is "abort".  This is not helpful for
users because there is no way to pass additional arguments to
fast-export here, either from the remote helper or from the command
line.

In general, the signature will be invalidated by whatever transformation
a remote helper performs on a tag to push it to a repository in a
different format so the correct behaviour is to strip the tag.  Doing
this silently may surprise people, so use "warn-strip" to issue a
warning when a signed tag is encountered.

08d595dc1c checkout: add --ignore-skip-worktree-bits in sparse checkout mode
"git checkout -- <paths>" is usually used to restore all modified
files in <paths>. In sparse checkout mode, this command is overloaded
with another meaning: to add back all files in <paths> that are
excluded by sparse patterns.

As the former makes more sense for day-to-day use. Switch it to the
default and the latter enabled with --ignore-skip-worktree-bits.

While at there, add info/sparse-checkout to gitrepository-layout.txt

0d2f7d1c5e gitweb/INSTALL: Simplify description of GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM
The flow of the text describing GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM and
GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON in gitweb/INSTALL is awkward.  "This is bad. Oh
the other hand, better is broken. Therefore we do this." forces
readers to make multiple guesses while reading: "ok, bad, so you
plan to change it and warn us about upcoming change?  oh, not that,
changing it is bad, so we have to live with it?  oh, not that, there
is another one that is common and that is what we can use".

Better rewrite said paragraph to avoid such a mental roller-coaster in
the first place.

002d4ce8aa t/test-lib.sh: drop "$test" variable
The $test variable is used as an interim buffer for
constructing $TRASH_DIRECTORY, and is almost compatible with
it (the exception being that $test has not been converted to
an absolute path). Let's get rid of it entirely so that
later code does not accidentally use it, thinking the two
are interchangeable.

38b074de80 t/test-lib.sh: fix TRASH_DIRECTORY handling
After the location of $TRASH_DIRECTORY is adjusted by
$TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, we go on to use the $test variable to make the
trash directory and cd into it.  This means that when
$TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is not "." and an absolute --root has not been
specified, we do not remove the trash directory once the tests are
complete (remove_trash is set to $TRASH_DIRECTORY).

Fix this by always referring to the trash directory as $TRASH_DIRECTORY.

anyway. So it's safe.

b4cfbc969c completion: inline __gitcomp_1 to its sole callsite
There is no point in calling a separate function that is only used
in one place. Especially considering that there's no need to call
compgen, and we traverse the words ourselves both in __gitcompadd,
and __gitcomp_1.

Let's squash the functions together, and traverse only once.

This improves performance. For N number of words:

  == 1 ==
  original: 0.002s
  new: 0.000s
  == 10 ==
  original: 0.005s
  new: 0.001s
  == 100 ==
  original: 0.009s
  new: 0.006s
  == 1000 ==
  original: 0.027s
  new: 0.019s
  == 10000 ==
  original: 0.163s
  new: 0.151s
  == 100000 ==
  original: 1.555s
  new: 1.497s

No functional changes.

7d13e0a3af completion: get rid of compgen
The functionality we use from compgen is not much, we can do the same
manually, with drastic improvements in speed, especially when dealing
with only a few words.

This patch also has the sideffect that brekage reported by Jeroen Meijer
and SZEDER Gábor gets fixed because we no longer expand the resulting
words.

Here are some numbers filtering N amount of words:

  == 1 ==
  original: 0.002s
  new: 0.000s
  == 10 ==
  original: 0.002s
  new: 0.000s
  == 100 ==
  original: 0.003s
  new: 0.002s
  == 1000 ==
  original: 0.012s
  new: 0.011s
  == 10000 ==
  original: 0.056s
  new: 0.066s
  == 100000 ==
  original: 2.669s
  new: 0.622s

If the results are not narrowed:

  == 1 ==
  original: 0.002s
  new: 0.000s
  == 10 ==
  original: 0.002s
  new: 0.001s
  == 100 ==
  original: 0.004s
  new: 0.004s
  == 1000 ==
  original: 0.020s
  new: 0.015s
  == 10000 ==
  original: 0.101s
  new: 0.355s
  == 100000 ==
  original: 2.850s
  new: 31.941s

So, unless 'git checkout <tab>' usually gives you more than 10000
results, you'll get an improvement :)

Other possible solutions perform better after 1000 words, but worst if
less than that:

  COMPREPLY=($(awk -v cur="$3" -v pre="$2" -v suf="$4"
	'$0 ~ cur { print pre$0suf }' <<< "$1" ))

  COMPREPLY=($(printf -- "$2%s$4\n" $1 | grep "^$2$3"))

The idea is to never touch the COMPREPLY variable directly.

This allows other completion systems (i.e. zsh) to override

Also, this allows further optimizations down the line.

b0808819e5 doc/http-backend: match query-string in apache half-auth example
When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can
be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is
best if the server can require authentication for both the
ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This
alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in
the repositories, and means that the client is challenged
for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the
push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had
trouble handling these challenges).

Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires
matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in
Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to
just protect "/git-receive-pack$".  This patch provides the
mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement,
which is preferred.

While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts
so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken
(either by our changes or by changes in Apache).

Use UTF-8 code points which are not decomposed by the filesystem:
 Code points like "á" will be decomposed by Mac OS X.
 bzr is unable to find the file "á" on disk.
 Use code points from unicode which can not be decomposed.
 In other words, the precompsed form use the same bytes as decomposed.

~<user>/.gitconfig to be used, because that is not what we try to
read.  And worse, since 96b9e0e3, a git-daemon started by root is
likely to fail to run at all, as the user we switch to generally
cannot read ~root.

04a74b6cfa fast-export: fix argument name in error messages
The --signed-tags argument is plural, while error messages referred
to --signed-tag (singular).  Tweak error messages to correspond to the
argument.

06cb843fea Documentation: distinguish between ref and offset deltas in pack-format
eb32d236 introduced the OBJ_OFS_DELTA object that uses a relative offset to
identify the base object instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference. The pack file
documentation only mentions the SHA1 based reference in its description of the
deltified object entry.

Update the pack format documentation to clarify that the deltified object
representation refers to its base using either a relative negative offset or
the absolute SHA1 identifier.
