git-completion.bash: zsh does not implement function redirection correctly
A recent change added functions whose entire standard error stream
is redirected to /dev/null using a construct that is valid POSIX.1
but is not widely used:
funcname () {
cd "$1" && run some command "$2"
} 2>/dev/null
Even though this file is "git-completion.bash", zsh completion
support dot-sources it (instead of asking bash to grok it like tcsh
completion does), and zsh does not implement this redirection
correctly.
With zsh, trying to complete an inexistant directory gave this:
git add no-such-dir/__git_ls_files_helper:cd:2: no such file or directory: no-such-dir/
Also these functions use "cd" to first go somewhere else before
running a command, but the location the caller wants them to go that
is given as an argument to them should not be affected by CDPATH
variable the users may have set for their interactive session.
To fix both of these, wrap the body of the function in a subshell,
unset CDPATH at the beginning of the subshell, and redirect the
standard error stream of the subshell to /dev/null.

shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a custom message
If I disable git-shell's interactive mode by removing the
~/git-shell-commands directory, attempts to ssh in to the service
produce a message intended for the administrator:
$ ssh git@myserver
fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled.
hint: ~/git-shell-commands should exist and have read and execute access.
$
That is helpful for the new admin who is wondering "What? Why isn't
the git-shell I just set up working?", but once the site setup is
complete, it would be better to give the user a friendly hint that she
is on the right track, like GitHub does.
Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but
GitHub does not provide shell access.
An appropriate greeting might even include more complex dynamic
information, like gitolite's list of repositories the user has access
to. Add support for a ~/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login
command that generates an arbitrary greeting. When the user tries to
log in:
* If the file ~/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login exists,
run no-interactive-login to let the server say what it likes,
then hang up.
* Otherwise, if ~/git-shell-commands/ is present, start an
interactive read-eval-print loop.
* Otherwise, print the usual configuration hint and hang up.

The original git-shell(1) manpage emphasized that the shell supports
only git transport commands. As the shell gained features, that
emphasis and focus in the manual has been lost. Bring it back by
splitting the manpage into a few short sections and fleshing out each:
- SYNOPSIS, describing how the shell gets used in practice
- DESCRIPTION, which gives an overview of the purpose and guarantees
provided by this restricted shell
- COMMANDS, listing supported commands and restrictions on the
arguments they accept
- INTERACTIVE USE, describing the interactive mode

Split the backward-compatibility notes into two sections, the ones
that affect this release, and the other to describe changes meant
for Git 2.0. The latter gives a context to understand why the
changes for this release is necessary.
Documentation/git-push: clarify the description of defaults
We describe what gets pushed by default when the command line does
not give any <refspec> under the bullet point of <refspec>.
It is a bit unfriendly to expect users to read on <refspec> when
they are not giving any in the first place. "What gets pushed" is
determined by taking many factors (<refspec> argument being only one
of them) into account, and is a property of the entire command, not
an individual argument. Also we do not describe "Where the push
goes" when the command line does not say.
Give the description on "what gets pushed to where" upfront before
explaining individual arguments and options.
Also update the description of <refspec> to say what it is, what it
is used for, before explaining what shape it takes.
Currently this is cosmetic change - the merges are ignored, becuase the methods
(lookup_svn_merge, find_rev_before, find_rev_after) are failing on comparing text with number.

Extract:
The range r30430:30435 that was added to 1.5.x in this merge has a '*' suffix for 1.5.x\www.

bundle: Fix "verify" output if history is complete
A more informative message for "complete" bundles was added in commit 8c3710fd3011 (tweak "bundle verify" of a complete history, 2012-06-04).
However, the prerequisites ref list is currently read *after* we
check if it equals zero, which means we never actually use the

introduced message. The code incorrectly uses the number of
references recorded in the bundle instead.

Before 82dce99 (attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore,
2012-10-15), .gitattributes did not have any special treatment of a
leading '!'. The docs, however, always said
The rules how the pattern matches paths are the same as in
`.gitignore` files; see linkgit:gitignore[5].
By those rules, leading '!' means pattern negation. So 82dce99
correctly determined that this kind of line makes no sense and should
be disallowed.
However, users who actually had a rule for files starting with a '!'
are in a bad position: before 82dce99 '!' matched that literal
character, so it is conceivable that users have .gitattributes with
such lines in them. After 82dce99 the unescaped version was
disallowed in such a way that git outright refuses to run(!) most
commands in the presence of such a .gitattributes. It therefore
becomes very hard to fix, let alone work with, such repositories.
Let's at least allow the users to fix their repos: change the fatal
error into a warning.

wincred: improve compatibility with windows versions
On WinXP, the windows credential helper doesn't work at all (due to missing
Cred[Un]PackAuthenticationBuffer APIs). On Win7, the credential format used
by wincred is incompatible with native Windows tools (such as the control
panel applet or 'cmdkey.exe /generic'). These Windows tools only set the
TargetName, UserName and CredentialBlob members of the CREDENTIAL
structure (where CredentialBlob is the UTF-16-encoded password).
Remove the unnecessary packing / unpacking of the password, along with the
related API definitions, for compatibility with Windows XP.
Don't use CREDENTIAL_ATTRIBUTEs to identify credentials for compatibility
with Windows credential manager tools. Parse the protocol, username, host
and path fields from the credential's target name instead.
Credentials created with an old wincred version will have mangled or empty
passwords after this change.

I tried to always use backticks for:
* Paths and filenames (e.g. `.git/config`)
* Compound refs (e.g. `origin/HEAD`)
* Git commands (e.g. `git log`)
* Command arguments (e.g. `--pretty`)
* URLs (e.g. `git://`), as a subset of command arguments
* Special characters (e.g. `+` in diffs).
* Config options (e.g. `branch.<name>.remote`)
Branch and tag names are sometimes set off with double quotes,
sometimes set off with backticks, and sometimes left bare. I tried to
judge when the intention was introducing new terms or conventions
(double quotes), to reference a recently used command argument
(backticks), or to reference the abstract branch/commit (left bare).
Obviously these are not particularly crisp definitions, so my
decisions are fairly arbitrary ;). When a reference had already been
introduced, I changed further double-quoted instances to backticked
instances.
When new backticks increased the length of a line beyond others in
that block, I re-wrapped blocks to 72 columns.

Commit 2f769195 ("MinGW: avoid collisions between "tags" and "TAGS",
28-09-2010) enabled MinGW to use an ETAGS file in order to avoid
filename collisions on (Windows) case insensitive filesystems. In
addition, this prevents 'make' from issuing several warning messages.
When using the Makefile to perform an MSVC build, which is usually
executed using MinGW tools, we can also benefit from this capability.
In order to reap the above benefits, we set the ETAGS_TARGET build
variable to ETAGS in the MSVC config block.

In particular, while linking test-svn-fe.exe, the linker complains
that the external symbol _strtoull is unresolved. A call to this
function was added in commit ddcc8c5b ("vcs-svn: skeleton of an svn
delta parser", 25-12-2010).
The NO_STRTOULL build variable attempts to provide support to old
systems which can't even declare 'unsigned long long' variables,
let alone provide the strtoll() or strtoull() functions. Setting
this build variable does not provide an implementation of these
functions. Rather, it simply allows the compat implementations
of strto{i,u}max() to use strtol() and strtoul() instead.
In order to fix the linker error on systems with NO_STRTOULL set,
currently MSVC and OSF1, we can substitute a call to strtoumax().
However, we can easily provide support for the strtoull() and
strtoll() functions on MSVC, since they are essentially already
available as _strtoui64() and _strtoi64(). This allows us to
remove NO_STRTOULL for MSVC.

that the external symbols _inet_pton and _inet_ntop are unresolved.
Commit a666b472 ("daemon: opt-out on features that require posix",

use of the internal 'compat' versions of these function.
Although the MSVC header <WS2tcpip.h> contains the prototypes for
the inet_pton and inet_ntop functions, they are only visible for
Windows API versions from 0x0600 (Windows Vista) or later. (In
addition, on Windows XP, ws2_32.dll does not export these symbols).
In order to fix the linker errors, we also configure the MSVC build
to use the internal compat versions of these functions by setting
the NO_INET_{PTON,NTOP} build variables.
