f2eba66 (Enable HEAD@{...} and make it independent from the current
branch, 2007-02-03) introduced dwim_log() to handle <refname>@{...}
syntax, and as part of its processing, it checks if the ref exists by
calling refsolve_ref(). It should call it as a reader to make sure the
call returns NULL for a nonexistent ref (not as a potential writer in
which case it does not return NULL).

builtin-branch.c: optimize --merged and --no-merged
"git branch --no-merged $commit" used to compute the merge base between
the tip of each and every branch with the named $commit, but this was
wasteful when you have many branches. Inside append_ref() we literally
ran has_commit() between the tip of the branch and the merge_filter_ref.
Instead, we can let the revision machinery traverse the history as if we
are running:
$ git rev-list --branches --not $commit
by queueing the tips of branches we encounter as positive refs (this
mimicks the "--branches" option in the above command line) and then
appending the merge_filter_ref commit as a negative one, and finally
calling prepare_revision_walk() to limit the list..
After the traversal is done, branch tips that are reachable from $commit
are painted UNINTERESTING; they are already fully contained in $commit
(i.e. --merged). Tips that are not painted UNINTERESTING still have
commits that are not reachable from $commit, thus "--no-merged" will show
them.
With an artificial repository that has "master" and 1000 test-$i branches
where they were created by "git branch test-$i master~$i":

rebase -i: When an 'edit' stops, mention the commit
In a rebase session where more than one commit is to be 'edit'ed, and the
user spends considerable time to 'edit' a commit, it is easy to forget what
one wanted to 'edit' at the individual commits. It would be helpful to see
at which commit the rebase stopped.
Incidentally, if the rebase stopped due to merge conflicts or other errors,
the commit was already reported ("Could not apply $sha1..."), but when
rebase stopped after successfully applying an "edit" commit, it would not
mention it. With this change the commit is reported.

sort_in_topological_order(): avoid setting a commit flag
We used to set the TOPOSORT flag of commits during the topological
sorting, but we can just as well use the member "indegree" for it:
indegree is now incremented by 1 in the cases where the commit used
to have the TOPOSORT flag.
This is the same behavior as before, since indegree could not be
non-zero when TOPOSORT was unset.
Incidentally, this fixes the bug in show-branch where the 8th column
was not shown: show-branch sorts the commits in topological order,
assuming that all the commit flags are available for show-branch's
private matters.
But this was not true: TOPOSORT was identical to the flag corresponding
to the 8th ref. So the flags for the 8th column were unset by the
topological sorting.

"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have
reported paths that have local modifications as "needs update" since the
beginning of git.
Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal. After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.
I prepared two alternatives to solve this. Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".
This patch is a more intrusive variant that changes the message for only
Porcelain commands ("add" and "reset") while keeping the plumbing
"update-index" intact.
This in the short term will break on platforms that use compat implemenations
that call outside compat layer, but that is exactly what we want. To give
incentive to fix things for people who are affected and more importantly have
environment to test their fixes.

5fdeacb (Teach update-index about --ignore-submodules, 2008-05-14) added a
new refresh option flag but did not assign a unique bit for it correctly,
and broke "update-index --ignore-missing".
People sometimes find that "git add -u && git add ." are 13 keystrokes too
many. This reduces it by nine.
The support of this has been very low priority for me personally, because
I almost never do "git add ." in a directory with already tracked files,
and in a new directory, there is no point saying "git add -u".
However, for two types of people (that are very different from me), this
mode of operation may make sense and there is no reason to leave it
unsupported. That is:
(1) If you are extremely well disciplined and keep perfect .gitignore, it
always is safe to say "git add ."; or
(2) If you are extremely undisciplined and do not even know what files
you created, and you do not very much care what goes in your history,
it does not matter if "git add ." included everything.
So there it is, although I suspect I will not use it myself, ever.
It will be too much of a change that is against the expectation of the
existing users to allow "git commit -a" to include untracked files, and
it would be inconsistent if we named this new option "-a", so the short
option is "-A". We _might_ want to later add "git commit -A" but that is
a separate topic.
builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability
The implementation of "git add" has four major codepaths that are mutually
exclusive:
- if "--interactive" or "--patch" is given, spawn "git add--interactive"
and exit without doing anything else. Otherwise things are handled
internally in this C code;
- if "--update" is given, update the modified files and exit without
doing anything else;
- if "--refresh" is given, do refresh and exit without doing anything
else;
- otherwise, find the paths that match pathspecs and stage their
contents.
It led to an unholy mess in the code structure; each of the latter three
codepaths has a separate call to read_cache(), even though they are all
about "read the current index, update it and write it back", and logically
they should read the index once _anyway_.
This cleans up the latter three cases by introducing a pair of helper
variables:
- "add_new_files" is set if we need to scan the working tree for paths
that match the pathspec. This variable is false for "--update" and
"--refresh", because they only work on already tracked files.
- "require_pathspec" is set if the user must give at least one pathspec.
"--update" does not need it but all the other cases do.
This is in preparation for introducing a new option "--all", that does the
equivalent of "git add -u && git add ." (aka "addremove").

Documentation/git-merge.txt: Partial rewrite of How Merge Works
The git-merge documentation's "HOW MERGE WORKS" section is confusingly
composed and actually omits the most interesting part, the merging of
the arguments into HEAD itself, surprisingly not actually mentioning
the fast-forward merge anywhere.
This patch replaces the "[NOTE]" screenful of highly technical details
by a single sentence summing up the interesting information, and instead
explains how are the arguments compared with HEAD and the three possible
inclusion states that are named "Already up-to-date", "Fast-forward"
and "True merge". It also makes it clear that the rest of the section
talks only about the true merge situation, and slightly expands the
talk on solving conflicts.
Junio initiated the removal of the Note screenful altogether and
offered many stylistical fixes.

archive: make zip compression level independent from core git
zlib_compression_level is the compression level used for git's object store.
It's 1 by default, which is the fastest setting. This variable is also used
as the default compression level for ZIP archives created by git archive.
For archives, however, zlib's own default of 6 is more appropriate, as it's
favouring small size over speed -- archive creation is not that performance
critical most of the time.
This patch makes git archive independent from git's internal compression
level setting. It affects invocations of git archive without explicitly
specified compression level option, only.

Documentation: How to ignore local changes in tracked files
This patch explains more carefully that `.gitignore` concerns only
untracked files and refers the reader to
git update-index --assume-unchanged
in the need of ignoring uncommitted changes in already tracked files.
The description of this option is lifted to a more "porcelainish"
level and explains the caveats of this usecase.
Whether feasible or not, I believe adding this functionality to
the porcelain is out of the scope of this patch. (And I personally
think that referring to the plumbing in the case of such a special
usage is fine.)
This is currently probably one of the top FAQs at #git and the
--assume-unchanged switch is not widely known; gitignore(5) is the first
place where people are likely to look for it.

index-pack: Refactor base arguments of resolve_delta into a struct
Nick Andrew noticed that rev-list lets --quiet option to be parsed by
underlying diff_options parser but did not pick up the result. This
resulted in --quiet option to become effectively a no-op.
The original code relied on an insane definition of skip_prefix() that
returned an empty string for a NULL input and returned the original if the
given "prefix" is not a prefix at all (it would have been justifiable if
it were called "come_up_with_a_short_name_to_report_ref()" or something,
though). In any case, when we replaced it with a more saner definition of
the function whose behaviour is true to its name, its callers needed to be
adjusted but the conversion missed one call site.
This introduces a helper function "abbrev_ref()" whose purpose is to get a
full refname and its possible prefix and to strip the prefix part if it
matches, or refname itself in full if it doesn't. This makes the callers
easier to read again.

using this resolution even when rerere.autoupdate is in effect" in the
future. When that happens, these messages will make the distinction
clearer.
