Change parent syntax to "xyz^" instead of "xyz.p"

The ".pN" thing might be a common ending of a tag, and in

Make rev-parse understand "extended sha1" syntax

You can say "HEAD.p" for the "parent of HEAD". It nests, so

HEAD.p2.p

means parent of second parent of HEAD (which obviously depends
on HEAD being a merge).

Keep the parents in order when parsing commits

We used to keep the parents in reverse order in the commit_list. Most
users don't care, but it's wrong, and the next commit does care.

read-cache.c: remove stray debugging printf

Pointed out by Junio, part of my debugging of the rewrite of the
file/dir conflict handling.

Re-implement "check_file_directory_conflict()"

This is (imho) more readable, and is also a lot faster. The expense of
looking up sub-directory beginnings was killing us on things like
"git-diff-cache", even though that one didn't even care at all about the
file vs directory conflicts.

We really only care when somebody tries to add a conflicting name to
stage 0.

We should go through the conflict rules more carefully some day.

Avoid warning about function without return.

Strangely, this warning only shows up when not compiling with "-O2",
which is why I didn't see it originally.

git-rev-list: add "--bisect" flag to find the "halfway" point

This is useful for doing binary searching for problems. You start with
a known good and known bad point, and you then test the "halfway" point
in between:

git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good

and you test that. If that one tests good, you now still have a known
bad case, but two known good points, and you can bisect again:

git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good1 ^good2

and test that point. If that point is bad, you now use that as your
known-bad starting point:

git-rev-list --bisect newbad ^good1 ^good2

and basically at every iteration you shrink your list of commits by
half: you're binary searching for the point where the troubles started,
even though there isn't a nice linear ordering.

Use "-M" instead of "-C" for "git diff" and "git status"

The "C" in "-C" may stand for "Cool", but it's also pretty slow, since
right now it leaves all unmodified files to be tested even if there are
no new files at all. That just ends up being unacceptably slow for big
projects, especially if it's not all in the cache.

git-apply: use default name for mode change patches

Pure mode changes won't have the file-name in the extended header lines,
so make sure we pick it up from the default name from the "diff --git"
line.

Don't use -C in "git diff"

Right now it confuses at least git-diff-files, since it leaves
all the files (whether changed or not) in the diff queue.

Add "git diff" script

It's a simple helper that depending on the arguments will either

Teach git-rev-parse about revision-specifying arguments

Things like "--max-count=xxx" are "rev-only".

git-whatchanged: use the git-rev-parse helper

So now you can say

git-whatchanged -p v2.6.12-rc5.. drivers/usb

and it will show you what changed (as a patch) in drivers/usb since the
v2.6.12-rc5 release.

git-rev-parse: split "revs" and "non-revs"

Sometimes we only want to output revisions, and sometimes we want to
only see the stuff that wasn't revisions. Teach git-rev-parse to
understand the "--revs-only" and "--no-revs" flags.

Make "git log" use the new git-rev-parse helper

See the previous commit for explanations.

Add 'git-rev-parse' helper script

It's an incredibly cheesy helper that changes human-readable revision
arguments into the git-rev-list argument format.

You can use it to do something like this:

git-rev-list --pretty $(git-rev-parse --default HEAD "$@")

which is what git-log-script will become. Here git-rev-parse will
then allow you to use arguments like "v2.6.12-rc5.." or similar
human-readable ranges.

It's really quite stupid: "a..b" will be converted into "a" and "^b" if
"a" and "b" are valid object pointers. And the "--default" case will be
used if nothing but flags have been seen, so that you can default to a
certain argument if there are no other ranges.

git-apply: fix error handling for nonexistent files

This makes --emu23 to succeed in the last remaining case where
the pure 2-way merge succeeded and earlier one failed. Running
diff between t1001 and t1005 test scripts shows that the only
difference between the two is that --emu23 can leave the states

resolution techniques to carry forward the local changes when
pure 2-way merge would have refused to run.

[PATCH] read-tree: fix too strong index requirement #5ALT

This fixes too strong index requirement 3-way merge enforces in
one case: the same file is added in both branches.

In this case, the original code insisted that if the index file
has that path, it must match our branch and be up-to-date.
However in this particular case, it only has to match it, and
can be dirty. We just need to make sure that we keep the
work-tree copy instead of checking out the merge result.

The resolution of such a path, however, cannot be left to
outside script, because we will not keep the original stage0
entries for unmerged paths when read-tree finishes, and at that
point, the knowledge of "if we resolve it to match the new file
added in both branches, the merge succeeds and the work tree
would not lose information, but we should _not_ update the work
tree from the resulting index file" is lost. For this reason,
the now code needs to resolve this case (#5ALT) internally.

This affects some existing tests in the test suite, but all in
positive ways. In t1000 (3-way test), this #5ALT case now gets
one stage0 entry, instead of an identical stage2 and stage3
entry pair, for such a path, and one test that checked for merge
failure (because the test assumed the "stricter-than-necessary"
behaviour) does not have to fail anymore. In t1005 (emu23
test), two tests that involves a case where the work tree
already had a change introduced in the upstream (aka "merged
head"), the merge succeeds instead of failing.

[PATCH] read-tree --emu23.

This new flag causes two-way fast forward to internally use the
three-way merge mechanism. This behaviour is intended to offer
a better fast forward semantics when used in a dirty work tree.

The new test t1005 is parallel to the existing t1001 "pure
2-way" tests, but some parts that are commented out would fail.
These failures are due to three-way merge enforcing too strict
index requirements for cases that could succeed. This problem
will be addressed by later patches.

Without even changing three-way mechanism, the --emu23 two-way
fast forward already gives the user an easier-to-handle merge
result when a file that "merged head" updates has local
modifications. This is demonstrated as "case 16" test in t1005.

- A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D

- The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match
anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains
selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to
that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option).

[PATCH] Fix git-merge-one-file permissions auto-merging

In the automerge case, permissions were not restored properly after the
merge tool was invoked and overwrote the target file.

Remove MERGE_HEAD after committing merge

Make "git commit" work correctly in the presense of a manual merge

This has gotten only very light testing, but something like this is
clearly necessary and did the right thing for the one case I threw at
it.

Leave merge failures in the filesystem

This changes how we handle merges: if a automated merge
fails, we will leave the index as a clean entry pointing
to the original branch, and leave the actual file _dirty_
the way the "merge" program left it.

You can then just do "git-diff-files -p" to see what the
merge conflicts did, fix them up, and commit the end result.

NOTE NOTE NOTE! Do _not_ use "git commit" to commit such
a merge. It won't set the parents right. I'll need to fix
that. In the meantime, you'd need to merge using

git-commit-tree $(git-write) -p HEAD -p MERGE_HEAD

or something like that by hand.

Fix SIGSEGV on unmerged files in git-diff-files -p

NULL is not considered a VALID pathspec.

[PATCH] Tests: read-tree -m test updates.

This updates t1000 (basic 3-way merge test) to check the merge
results for both successful cases (earlier one checked the
result for only one of them). Also fixes typos in t1002 that
broke '&&' chain, potentially missing a test failure before the
chain got broken.

Make default merge messages denser.

In particular, make them readable on one line since that's what all the
tools like git-shortlog and gitk end up showing.

[PATCH] three --merge-order bug fixes

This patch fixes three bugs in --merge-order support
* mark_ancestors_uninteresting was unnecessarily exponential which
caused a problem when a commit with no parents was merged near the
head of something like the linux kernel
* removed a spurious statement from find_base which wasn't
apparently causing problems now, but wasn't correct either.
* removed an unnecessarily strict check from find_base_for_list
that causes a problem if git-rev-list commit ^parent-of-commit
is specified.
* added some unit tests which were accidentally omitted from
original merge-order patch

The fix to mark_ancestors_uninteresting isn't an optimal fix - a full
graph scan will still be performed in this case even though it is
not strictly required. However, a full graph scan is linear
and still no worse than git-rev-list HEAD which runs in less than 2
seconds on a warm cache.

cvsps seems to put a space after the tag name, so we remove it first.

Talk about "git cvsimport" in the cvs migration docs

We should add a lot more information about how you copy repositories,
pulling and pushing, merging etc. Oh, well. I'm not exactly known for
my documentation skills. Maybe somebody else will help me..

git-read-tree: -u without -m is meaningless. Don't allow it.

Also, documetn the "-u" in the usage string.

git-read-tree: make one-way merge also honor the "update" flag

It didn't set CE_UPDATE before, so "-u" was a no-op.

[PATCH] read-tree: update documentation for 3-way merge.

This explains the new merge world order that formally assigns
specific meaning to each of three tree-ish command line
arguments. It also mentions -u option

Add CVS import scripts and programs

This gets the "cvs2git" program from the old git-tools
archive, and adds a nice script around it that makes it
much easier to use.

With this, you should be able to import a CVS archive
using just a simple

git cvsimport <cvsroot> <module>

and you're done. At least it worked for my one single test.

NOTE!! This may need tweaking. It currently expects (and
verifies) that cvsps version 2.1 is installed, but you
can't actually set any of the cvsps parameters, like the
time fuzz.
