When extra paths arguments are given, git-checkout reverts only those
paths to either the version recorded in the index or the version
recorded in the given tree-ish.
This has been on the TODO list for quite a while.

Recent '--' fixes to "git diff" by Linus made it possible to specify
filenames that start with '-'. But in order to do that, you need to
be able to add and commit such file to begin with.
Teach git-add and git-commit to honor the same '--' convention.

This fixes the default built-in exec() of "diff" to add a "--" before the
filenames, so that if a filename starts with a "-", the diff program won't
think it's an option.

It adds "--" to the git-diff.sh scripts, to keep any filenames that start
with a "-" from being confused with an option.
But in order to do that, it needs to teach git-diff-files to honor "--".

Although it really is very convenient, not requiring explicit
'-r' option to name revs is sometimes ambiguous.
Usually we allow a "--" to say where a filename starts when it
_is_ ambiguous. However, we fail that at times. In particular,
git-rev-parse fails it.

Follow the "encode minimally" principle -- our tools, including
git-apply and git-status, can handle pathnames with embedded SP just
fine. The only problematic ones are TAB and LF, and we need to quote
the metacharacters introduced for quoting.

Although the sole current user uses -z to read this, we should be
prepared for somebody to feed non-z format to the command.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This makes it possible to add paths that have funny characters (TAB
and LF) in them, and makes adding many paths more efficient in
general.
New flag "--stdin" to update-index was initially added for different
purpose, but it turns out to be a perfect match for feeding "ls-files
--others -z" output to improve "git add".
It also adds "--verbose" flag to update-index for use with "git add"
command.

Following the list discussion, define two functions, quote_c_style and
unquote_c_style, to help adopting the proposed way for quoting funny
pathname letters for GNU patch. The rule is described in:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112927316408690&w=2
Currently we do not support the leading '!', but we probably should
barf upon seeing it. Rule B4. is interpreted to require always 3
octal digits in \XYZ notation.

Deb packaging claim we depend on patch, but I think we use git-apply
where it matters. When a patch does not apply with git-apply, using
GNU patch still is helpful sometimes. So demote it from "Depends" to

This patch cleans out all sparse warnings from http-fetch.c
I'm a bit uncomfortable with adding extra #ifdefs to avoid either
'mixing declaration with code' or 'unused variable' warnings, but I
figured that since those functions are already littered with #ifdefs I
might just get away with it. Comments?

Introduce notation "ref^{type}".
Martin Langhoff:
cvsimport: don't pass --cvs-direct if user options contradict us
Ralf Baechle:
rsh.c: typo fix
Note that "funny ref" bits are not strictly fixes but rather
backport from the "master" branch. They will prevent refs and
heads with funny names from being created. In addition, what is
in the master branch will start feeding the clients unwrapped
tag information to help Martin's findtags and possibly later
Cogito. These backported "funny ref" changes are to prevent
clients on the "maint" branch from getting confused when talking
with newer git-upload-pack and when reading from info/refs file
prepared with newer git-update-server-info.

Existing "tagname^0" notation means "dereference tag zero or more
times until you cannot dereference it anymore, and make sure it is a
commit -- otherwise barf". But tags do not necessarily reference
commit objects.
This commit introduces a bit more generalized notation, "ref^{type}".
Existing "ref^0" is a shorthand for "ref^{commit}". If the type
is empty, it just dereferences tags until it hits a non-tag object.
With this, "git-rev-parse --verify 'junio-gpg-pub^{}'" shows the blob
object name -- there is no need to manually read the tag object and
find out the object name anymore.
"git-rev-parse --verify 'HEAD^{tree}'" can be used to find out the
tree object name of the HEAD commit.

that newly created refs are well-formed.

This updates git-ls-remote to show SHA1 names of objects that are
referred by tags, in the "ref^{}" notation.
This would make git-findtags (without -t flag) almost trivial.
git-peek-remote . |
sed -ne "s:^$target "'refs/tags/\(.*\)^{}$:\1:p'
Also Pasky could do:
git-ls-remote --tags $remote |
sed -ne 's:\( refs/tags/.*\)^{}$:\1:p'
to find out what object each of the remote tags refers to, and
if he has one locally, run "git-fetch $remote tag $tagname" to
automatically catch up with the upstream tags.
