c85c79279d pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches
When the upstream branch is tracked, we can detect if that branch
was rebased since it was last fetched.  Teach git to use that
information to rebase from the old remote head onto the new remote head.

d6cf61bfd4 close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile API
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die().  But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:

 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
    writing;

 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
    results should be committed or rolled back;

 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
    "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
    descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
    to be renamed);

 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
    appropriately.

This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.

47ee06f122 Document the color.interactive semantics
There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive
description:

  1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all
     interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even
     though there are no other interactive commands which
     currently use it

  2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled
     by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require
     tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies
     only to displays and prompts.

Asciidoc configuration:

 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

5f06573743 Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messages
Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing
whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message,
sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it.

For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with
"#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible
if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell
script including its comments for future reference.

The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The
default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either
strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the
whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

70087cdbd3 git-help: add "help.format" config variable.
This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format
used to display help. This format will be used only if no option
like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help".

The following values are possible for this variable:

	- "man"  --> "man" program is used
	- "info" --> "info" program is used
	- "web"  --> "git-browse-help" is used

By default we still show help using "man".

This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man"
to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable.

Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in
"git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config
variables in the global configuration file.

"git diff" has a --check option that can be used to check for whitespace
problems but it only reported by printing warnings to the
console.

Now when the --check option is used we give a non-zero exit status,
making "git diff --check" nicer to use in scripts and hooks.

f604652e05 git-diff --numstat -z: make it machine readable
The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed
paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible.  The scripts would
never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format.

This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward
incompatible way.

 * The output without -z is not changed.  This has given a good way for
   humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the
   path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability.

 * The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames.
   Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all.

 * The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can
   easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path.

This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch.  Bugs and documentation typos
are mine.

5d6491c7c7 git-help: add -w|--web option to display html man page in a browser.
Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man
page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser.

To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script
"git-browse-help".

This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page
have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"),
so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile".

The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser"
config variable.

We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible.

The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool"
by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.

235997c90f git-bisect visualize: work in non-windowed environments better
This teaches "git bisect visualize" to be more useful in non-windowed
environments.

 (1) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is set, it continues to
     spawn gitk as before;

 (2) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is unset, "git log" is run
     to show the range of commits between the bad one and the good ones;

 (3) If only "-flag" options are given, "git log <options>" is run.
     E.g. "git bisect visualize --stat"

 (4) Otherwise, all of the given options are taken as the initial part
     of the command line and the commit range expression is given to
     that command.  E.g. "git bisect visualize tig" will run "tig"
     history viewer to show between the bad one and the good ones.

As "visualize" is a bit too long to type, we also give it a shorter
synonym "view".

c7860507f0 git-status documentation: mention subdirectory behaviour
Consistently with all other diff oriented commands, we have given paths
relative to the work tree root in git-status output for a long time.
This documents the recent behaviour change, as people's eyes (and worse
yet, scripts, although scripts should not parse "git status" output) may
depend on the old behaviour.

In the longer run, giving a --full-name option to git-diff Porcelain
similar to what ls-files has, and change the default for git-diff
Porcelain to show relative paths may be a good thing to do, in order to
hide the oddballness of this git-status behaviour, but that would have a
rather large impact to established expectation by existing users.

cf1b7869f0 Use gitattributes to define per-path whitespace rule
The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]).  This attribute gives you finer
control per path.

For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:

    frotz   whitespace
    nitfol  -whitespace
    xyzzy   whitespace=-trailing

all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'.  A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:

    *.c    whitespace
    *.py   whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab

in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

b4c61ed6d3 Color support for "git-add -i"
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.

A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.

A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.

For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text.  $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

0f6f5a4022 git config --get-colorbool
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from
the configuration file.

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff

inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if
color is to be used.  It exits with status 1 otherwise.

If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff true

When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output
if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or
"true"), and "false" otherwise.

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.

For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.

Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip.  The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.

f01913e419 Add "--expire <time>" option to 'git prune'
Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects.
This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in
an ongoing operation.

This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects
which are older than a certain time.  For example, by

	git prune --expire 14.days

you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable
and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated).

The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime,
because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and
omitting the test when the platform does not support that
command line switch).

cd67e4d46b Teach 'git pull' about --rebase
When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a
fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge.

This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch
is ready to be submitted and needs to be update.

fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared
repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed
repository, such as WINE's.

As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by
defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is
interpreted as a bool.  This setting can be overridden on the command
line by --rebase and --no-rebase.

b63e995001 Add "--patch" option to git-add--interactive
When the "--patch" option is supplied, the patch_update_cmd() function is
called bypassing the main_loop() and exits.

Seeing as builtin-add is the only caller of git-add--interactive we can
impose a strict requirement on the format of the arguments to avoid
possible ambiguity: an "--" argument must be used whenever any pathspecs
are passed, both with the "--patch" option and without it.

ae36bdcf51 push: use same rules as git-rev-parse to resolve refspecs
This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the
rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules
to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.

The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.

Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer
resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

3fb0028253 user-manual: Add section "Why bisecting merge commits can be harder ..."
This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting
merge commits to the user manual.  The original author is
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to
the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>.
His email was adapted for the manual.

The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig
patch series".  The text added requires good understanding of
merging and rebasing.  Therefore it should not be placed too
early in the manual.  Right after the section on "Problems with
rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason
for linearizing as much of the history as possible.

The text includes suggestions and fixes by
Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and
Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>.

7f55cf451c Documentation: Fix man page breakage with DocBook XSL v1.72
From version 1.72 it will replace all dots in roff requests with U+2302
("house" character), and add escaping in output for all instances of dot
that are not in roff requests. This caused the ".ft" hack forcing
monospace font in listingblocks to end up as "\&.ft" and being visible
in the resulting man page.

The fix adds a DOCBOOK_XSL_172 build variable that will disable the
hack. To allow this variable to be defined in config.mak it also moves
build variable handling below the inclusion of config.mak.

27350891de rev-list: Introduce --quiet to avoid /dev/null redirects
Some uses of git-rev-list are to run it with --objects to see if
a range of objects between two or more commits is fully connected
or not.  In such a case the caller doesn't care about the actual
object names or hash hints so formatting this data only for it to
be dumped to /dev/null by a redirect is a waste of CPU time.  If
all the caller needs is the exit status then --quiet can be used
to bypass the commit and object formatting.

4d00bda2aa make the pack index version configurable
It is a good idea to use pack index version 2 all the time since it has
proper protection against propagation of certain pack corruptions when
repacking which is not possible with index version 1, as demonstrated
in test t5302.

Hence this config option.

The default is still pack index version 1.

3b27428b9d core-tutorial: Catch up with current Git
No longer talk about Cogito since it's deprecated.  Some scripts (such as
git-reset or git-branch) have undergone builtinification so adjust the text
to reflect this.

Fix a typo in the description of git-show-branch (merges are indicated by a
`-', not by a `.').

git-pull/git-push do not seem to use the dumb git-ssh-fetch/git-ssh-upload
(the text was probably missing a word).

Adjust a link that wasn't rendered properly because it was wrapped.

7791ecbc62 revert/cherry-pick: work on merge commits as well
Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which
side of the merge should be considered the mainline (iow, what
change to reverse).

With this patch, cherry-pick and revert learn -m (--mainline)
option that lets you specify the parent number (starting from 1)
of the mainline, so that you can:

	git revert -m 1 $merge

to reverse the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative
to its first parent, and:

	git cherry-pick -m 2 $merge

to replay the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative
to its second parent.

71b0251cdd Bisect run: "skip" current commit if script exit code is 125.
This is incompatible with previous versions because an exit code
of 125 used to mark current commit as "bad". But hopefully this exit
code is not much used by test scripts or other programs. (126 and 127
are used by POSIX compliant shells to mean "found but not
executable" and "command not found", respectively.)

e3fa2c761f mergetool: use path to mergetool in config var mergetool.<tool>.path
This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the
external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be
specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path.
The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches
and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details
about a tool.

The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external
programs are unlikely to be in PATH.

11f2441f05 Add a --dry-run option to git-push.
The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.

It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion
of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know
what branches matched on the server.

Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment
safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally
suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

425b78e886 instaweb: support for Ruby's WEBrick server
running the webrick server with git requires Ruby and Ruby's YAML and
Webrick libraries (both of which come standard with Ruby). nice for
single-user standalone invocations.

the --httpd=webrick option generates a ruby script on the fly to read
httpd.conf options and invoke the web server via library call. this
script is placed in the .git/gitweb directory. it also generates a
shell script in a feeble attempt to invoke ruby in a portable manner,
which assumes that 'ruby' is in the user's $PATH.
