Add branch management for releases to gitworkflows
The current man page does a reasonable job at describing branch management
during the development process, but it does not contain any guidance as to
how the branches are affected by releases.
Add a basic introduction to the branch management undertaken during a
git.git release, so that a reader may gain some insight into how the
integration, maintenance, and topic branches are affected during the
release transition, and is thus able to better design the process for their
own project.
Other release activities such as reviews, testing, and creating
distributions are currently out of scope.

describe: do not use unannotated tag even if exact match
4d23660 (describe: when failing, tell the user about options that
work, 2009-10-28) forgot to update the shortcut path where the code
detected and used a possible exact match. This means that an
unannotated tag on HEAD would be used by 'git describe'.
Guard this code path against the new circumstances, where unannotated
tags can be present in ->util even if we're not actually planning to
use them.
While there, also add some tests for --all.

git svn: attempt to create empty dirs on clone+rebase
We parse unhandled.log files for empty_dir statements and make a
best effort attempt to recreate empty directories on fresh
clones and rebase. This should cover the majority of cases
where users work off a single branch or for projects where
branches do not differ in empty directories.
Since this cannot affect "normal" git commands like "checkout"
or "reset", so users switching between branches in a single
working directory should use the new "git svn mkdirs" command
after switching branches.

gitweb: Make 'history' view (re)use git_log_generic()
Make git_history use git_log_generic, passing git_history_body as one
of its paramaters. This required changes to git_log_generic, in
particular passing more things as parameters.
While refactoring common code of 'log', 'shortlog' and 'history' view,
we did unify pagination, using always the form used by 'history' view,
namely
first * prev * next
in place of
HEAD * prev * next
used by 'log' and 'shortlog' views.
The 'history' view now supports commit limiting via 'hpb' parameter,
similarly to 'shortlog' (and 'log') view. Performance of 'history'
view got improved a bit, as it doesn't run git_get_hash_by_path for
"current" version in a loop. Error detection and reporting for
'history' view changed a bit.

gitweb: Refactor common parts of 'log' and 'shortlog' views
Put the common parts of git_log and git_shortlog into git_log_generic
subroutine: git_log and git_shortlog are now thin wrappers calling
git_log_generic with appropriate arguments.
The unification of code responsible for 'log' and 'shorlog' actions
lead to the following changes in gitweb output
* 'tree' link in page_nav now uses $hash parameter, as was the case
for 'shortlog' but not for 'log'
* 'log' view now respect $hash_parent limiting, like 'shortlog' did
* 'log' view doesn't have special case for empty list anymore, and it
always uses page_header linking to summary view, like 'shortlog'
did.

Since $GIT_DIR does not exist when initializing new repositories,
we can follow back to the global and system config files for
git.
The logic for this was originally introduced when
$GIT_DIR/config was the only config file git could read (back
when "git config" was "git repo-config"), so the function is
renamed to "read_git_config" instead of "read_repo_config".
git svn: handle SVN merges from revisions past the tip of the branch
When recording the revisions that it has merged, SVN sets the top
revision to be the latest revision in the repository, which is not
necessarily a revision on the branch that is being merged from. When
it is not on the branch, git-svn fails to add the extra parent to
represent the merge because it relies on finding the commit on the
branch that corresponds to the top of the SVN merge range.
In order to correctly handle this case, we look for the maximum
revision less than or equal to the top of the SVN merge range that is
actually on the branch being merged from.
[ew: This includes the following (squashed) commit to prevent
errors during bisect:]
git-svn: add (failing) test for SVN 1.5+ merge with intervening commit
This test exposes a bug in git-svn's handling of SVN 1.5+ mergeinfo
properties. The problematic case is when there is some commit on an
unrelated branch after the last commit on the merged-from branch.
When SVN records the mergeinfo property, it records the latest
revision in the whole repository, which, in the problematic case, is
not on the branch it is merging from.
To trigger the git-svn bug, we modify t9151 to include two SVN merges,
the second of which has an intervening commit. The SVN dump was
generated using SVN 1.6.6 (on Debian squeeze amd64).

In theory it is possible for sideband channel #2 to be delayed if
pack data is quick to come up for sideband channel #1. And because
data for channel #2 is read only 128 bytes at a time while pack data
is read 8192 bytes at a time, it is possible for many pack blocks to
be sent to the client before the progress message fifo is emptied,
making the situation even worse. This would result in totally garbled
progress display on the client's console as local progress gets mixed
with partial remote progress lines.
Let's prevent such situations by giving transmission priority to
progress messages over pack data at all times.

Since a0e4639 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12) git-filter-branch has done
nearest-ancestor rewriting when using a --subdirectory-filter.
However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in
other tasks. For example, if you want to split out a subset of files
from your history, you would typically call
git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files>
But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit
that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be
rewritten and the ref remains untouched.
The code was already there for the --subdirectory-filter case, so just
introduce an option that enables it independently.

an extra '--' was used as path filter in the call to git-rev-list that
determines the commits that shall be rewritten.
To keep the argument handling sane, we filter $@ to contain only the
non-revision arguments, and store all revisions in $ref_args. The
$ref_args are easy to handle since only the SHA1s are needed; the
actual branch names have already been stored in $tempdir/heads at this
point.
An extra separating -- is only required if the user did not provide
any non-revision arguments, as the latter disambiguate the
$filter_subdir following after them (or fail earlier because they are
ambiguous themselves).
Thanks to Johannes Sixt for suggesting this solution.

Introduce usagef() that takes a printf-style format
Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing
their usage messages. An option is to change usage() itself also be like
printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn().
But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives
diagnostics depending on the situation. Indeed, the majority of strings
given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings. If we were to
make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have
"%s" as their first argument.
So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use
it.

Dump usage instead. Humans wanting to pass the URL -h/ to curl for some
reason can use 'git http-push -h/' explicitly. Scripts expecting to

format-patch: Add "--no-stat" as a synonym for "-p"
"-p" means "generate patch" in 'git log' and 'git diff', so it's
quite surprising that it means "suppress diffstat" in

Keep the "-p" option for backward compatibility, but add
"--no-stat" as a more intuitive synonym. For backward compatibility
with scripts, we must allow combinations of --stat and --no-stat.

format-patch documentation: Remove diff options that are not useful
To simplify reading the documentation for format-patch, remove the
description of common diff options that are not useful for the
purpose of the command (i.e. "Prepare patches for e-mail submission").
Specifically, this removes the description of the following options:
Jeff King recently reinstated -p to suppress the default diffstat
(as -p used to work before 68daa64, about 14 months ago).
However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options
(e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all.
The documentation does not mention this.
Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that
can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination
of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself.
Therefore:
* Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch.
* Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses
the generation of the patch, disallow those options,
and remove the description of them in the documentation.
* Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U.
* Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p
plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat).
* While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself
to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can
think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

"unpack-file -h" could be asking to save the contents of a blob
named "-h". Strictly speaking, such a pathological ref name is
possible, but the user would have to had said something like
