fsck-objects: support platforms without d_ino in struct dirent.
The d_ino field is only used for performance reasons in
fsck-objects. On a typical filesystem, i-number tends to have a
strong correlation with where the actual bits sit on the disk
platter, and we sort the entries to allow us scan things that
ought to be close together together.
If the platform lacks support for it, it is not a big deal.
Just do not use d_ino for sorting, and scan them unsorted.
I think most people will want to install the man pages as well.
[jc: incorporated Pasky's comment on not building them as root.
Some people may not want to install asciidoc/xmlto toolchain, so
redirect them to the man and html branches of the git.git
repository as well.]

Revert "git-push: avoid falling back on pushing "matching" refs."
This reverts 9e9b26751a5ca7a257b3e1cfb319fe3e4efc663c commit partially.
When no refspec is specified on the command line and there is no
default refspec to push specified in remotes/ file, just let
send-pack to do its default "matching refs" updates.
If git-fetch-pack was called with out any refspec, it would ask the server
for funny refs. That cannot work, since the funny refs are not marked
as OUR_REF by upload-pack, which just exits with an error.

Revert "check_packed_git_idx(): check integrity of the idx file itself."
This reverts c5ced64578a82b9d172aceb2f67c6fb9e639f6d9 commit.
It turns out that doing this check every time we map the idx file
is quite expensive. A corrupt idx file is caught by git-fsck-objects,
so this check is not strictly necessary.
In one unscientific test, 0.99.9m spent 10 seconds usertime for
the same task 1.1.3 takes 37 seconds usertime. Reverting this gives
us the performance of 0.99.9 back.
By popular demand. If you build and install such binary RPMs,
the version numbering will lose monotonicity, so you may have to
later override downgrade warnings from your packaging manager,
but as long as you are aware of that and know how to deal with it,
there is no reason for us to forbid it.
Previously 'git-push --tags dst', used information from
remotes/dst to determine which refs to push; this patch corrects
it, and also documents the --tags option.
When describing more than one, we need to clear the commit marks
before handling the next one, but most of the time we are
running it for only one commit, and in such a case this clearing
phase is totally unnecessary.
cvsimport: ease migration from CVSROOT/users format
This fixes a minor bug, which caused the author email to be
doubly enclosed in a <> pair (the code gave enclosing <> to
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable).
The read_author_info() subroutine is taught to also understand
the user list in CVSROOT/users format. This is primarily done
to ease migration for CVS users, who can use the -A option
to read from existing CVSROOT/users file. write_author_info()
always writes in the git-cvsimport's native format ('='
delimited and value without quotes).
This patch adds the option to specify an author name/email conversion
file in the format
exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se>
spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org>
which will translate the ugly cvs authornames to the more informative
git style.
The info is saved in $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors, so that subsequent
incremental imports will use the same author-info even if no -A
option is specified. If an -A option *is* specified, the info in
$GIT_DIR/cvs-authors is appended/updated appropriately.
Docs updated accordingly.

While reviewing the end user tutorial rewrite by J. Bruce
Fields, I noticed that "git-diff-tree -B -C" did not correctly
break the total rewrite of Documentation/tutorial.txt. It turns
out that we had integer overflow during the break score
computations.
Cop out by using floating point. This is not a kernel.
show-branch: --current includes the current branch.
With this, the command includes the current branch to the list
of revs to be shown when it is not given on the command line.
This is handy to use in the configuration file like this:
[showbranch]
default = --current
default = heads/* ; primary branches, not topics under
; subdirectories
show-branch: make the current branch and merge commits stand out.
This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the
branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out.
Also we show '-' for merge commits.
When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it
is easier to see which one is the current branch this way.
[PATCH] format-patch: always --mbox and show sane Date:
Make --mbox, --author, and --date options a no-op, and always
use --mbox output, and rewrite the commit log formatting in
Perl. This makes it easier to output Date: header in RFC 2822
format, so do that as well.
Inspiration for this patch came from Andreas Ericsson's earlier
patch.
[PATCH] checkout: show dirty state upon switching branches.
This shows your working file state when you switch branches. As
a side effect, "git checkout" without any branch name (i.e. stay
on the current branch) becomes a more concise shorthand for the
"git status" command.
git-push: avoid falling back on pushing "matching" refs.
The underlying "git send-pack remote.host:path" pushes all the
matching refs that both local and remote have, and "git push"
blindly inherits this property. Which probably was a mistake.
A typical cloned repository (e.g. a subsystem repository cloned
from Linus repository) has at least two branches, "master" to
keep the subsystem and "origin" that records tip of Linus
"master" when the repository was cloned. If this is the public
repository for the subsystem, then subsystem developers would
clone it, and then cloned ones have "master" and "origin". When
developers use this public subsystem repository as a shared
repository, pushing into it via "git push subsys:/path/name"
would try to push the matching refs, "master" and "origin", from
the developers' repositories. The "origin" in the public shared
repository does not have much relevance, yet pushing into
"origin" would cause "not a fast forward" checks to be
triggered. Arguably "git push subsys:/path/name master" would
work it around, but having them to say it explicitly to avoid
pushing into "origin" as well is bad.
This commit requires you to give at least one refspec to
git-push. You could "give" by either:
(1) Listing the refspec(s) explicitly on the command line.
E.g. "git push subsys:/path/name master".
(2) Using --all or --tags on the command line.
E.g. "git push --tags subsys:/path/name".
(3) Using a $GIT_DIR/remotes shorthand with 'Push: refspec'
line in it.
Unlike pull that can happen pretty much promiscuously, people
will push into the same set of a limited number of remote
repositories repeatedly over the life of the project, so it is
reasonable to assume they would want to keep a $GIT_DIR/remotes/
entry for those repositories even only to save typing the URL,
so keeping the default 'Push: refspec' line in such is a
sensible thing to do.
It was suggested to further fall back on pushing the current
branch, but this commit does not implement it. If developers
adopt topic branch workflow, pushing to public while on a topic
branch by mistake would expose the topic branch to the public
repository. Not falling back to the current branch prevents
that mistake from happening.
checkout: merge local modifications while switching branches.
* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
'-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
read-tree prevents branch switching.
* Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
show the local modifications.
* Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
more natural.
* Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.
checkout: automerge local changes while switching branches.
When switching branches, if the working tree has a local
modification at paths that are different between current and new
branches, we refused the operation saying "cannot merge." This
attempts to do an automerge for such paths.
The earlier change to separate $(gitexecdir) from $(bindir) had
the installation location of the git wrapper and the rest of the
commands the wrong way (right now, both of them point at the
same location so there is no real harm).
The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

octopus: allow criss-cross and clarify the message when it rejects
We rejected multi-base merge situations even though we used the
same underlying multi-base git-read-tree as the resolve strategy
uses. This was unneeded and did not add much to ensure the
merge to be truly trivial, so remove this restriction and be
more similar to what resolve does.
Also when the merge did not trivially resolve, we rejected
without stating that octopus strategy does not handle the
situation.
This is not invoked by any other target (most notably, "make
install" does not), but is provided as a convenience for people
who are building from the source.
name-rev: do not omit leading components of ref name.
In a repository with mainto/1.0 (to keep maintaining the 1.0.X
series) and fixo/1.0 (to keep fixes that apply to both 1.0.X
series and upwards) branches, "git-name-rev mainto/1.0" answered
just "1.0" making things ambiguous. Show refnames unambiguously
like show-branch does.
This is based on the patch by Andreas Ericsson, but done slightly
differently, preferring to have separate loops -- one for options
and then arguments.
show-branch: take default arguments from configuration file.
This lets showbranch.default multivalued configuration item to
be used as the default set of parameters to git-show-branch when
none is given on the command line.
I keep many topic branches (e.g. zzz/pack, net/misc) and
branches used only as a reference under subdirectories
(e.g. hold/{html,man,todo} track the same from git.git, but
clutters the show-branch output when shown along with the main
development; ko/master tracks what I have pushed out already and
refetched from the kernel.org server), and often run:
$ git show-branch ko/master heads/*
to view only the ko/master head and branches I keep immediately
under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads. With this change, I can have this in
my $GIT_DIR/config file:
Tommi Virtanen expressed a wish on #git to be able to use short and elegant

The main loop was prepared to take more than one revs, but the actual
naming logic wad not (it used pop_most_recent_commit while forgetting
that the commit marks stay after it's done).
ls-files --others --directory: give trailing slash
This adds a trailing slash to directory names in the output
when "--others --directory" option shows only untracked
directories and not their contents, to make them stand out.
ls-files --others --directory: fix a bug with index entry ordering
When both howto-index.sh and howto/make-dist.txt exist under
Documentation/ directory, dir_exists() mistakenly checked it
without the trailing slash to see if there was something under
Documentation/howto directory, and did not realize there was,
because '-' sorts earlier than '/' and cache_name_pos() finds
howto-index.sh, which is not under howto/ directory. This
caused --others --directory to show it which was incorrect.
Check the directory name with the trailing slash, because having
an entry that has such as a prefix is what we are looking for.
ls-files -o: optionally skip showing the contents in "untracked" directories
Darrin Thompson notes that git-ls-files -o reports all the unknown
files it finds in a work area. Subversion and probably other systems
"simply ignore all the files and directories inside an unknown
directory and just note the directory as unknown."
With --directory option, ls-files --others shows untracked directories
without descending into them.
I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags
easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the
facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on
repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much
more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as
well.
prune: do not show error from pack-redundant when no packs are found.
When there is no pack yet, git-prune leaked an error message
from "git-pack-redundant --all" which complained that there is
no pack. Squelch the annoying message.
The official maintainer is keeping up-to-date quite well, and now
the older Debian is supported with backports.org, there is no reason
for me to keep debian/ directory around here.
I have not been building and publishing debs since 1.0.4 anyway.
"cvs add" support was already there, but the "unknown" status
returned when querying a file not yet known to cvs caused the
script to abort prematurely.
Make GIT-VERSION-GEN tolerate missing git describe command
I think it is probably a bug that "git non_existent_command"
returns its error message to stdout without an error, where
"git-non_existent_command" behaves differently and does return an
error.
Older versions of git did not implement "git describe" and
GIT-VERSION-GEN produces an empty version string if run on
a system with such a git installed. The consequence
is that "make rpm" fails.
This patch fixes GIT-VERSION-GEN so that it works in the
absence of a working "git describe"

When the other end was prepared with older git and has tags that
