gitweb: pull ref markes pull out of subject <a> element
Since 4afbaef (gitweb: ref markers link to named shortlogs, 2008-09-02),
ref markers that accompany the subject in views such as shortlog and
history point to something different from the subject itself. Therefore,
they should not be included in the same <a> element.
Benefits of the change are:
* better compliance to the XHTML standards, that forbid links within
links even though the restriction cannot be imposed via DTD; this also
benefits visualization in some older browsers;
* when hovering the subject, only the subject itself is underlined; when
hovering the ref markers, only the text in the hovered ref marker is
underlined; previously, hovering any written part of the subject column
led to complete underlying of everything at the same time, with
unpleasing effects.

svn: assume URLs from the command-line are URI-encoded
And then unescape them when writing to $GIT_CONFIG.
SVN has different rules for repository URLs (usually the root)
and for paths within that repository (below the HTTP layer).
Thus, for the request URI path at the HTTP level, the URI needs
to be encoded. However, in the body of the HTTP request (the
with underlying SVN XML protocol), those paths should not be
URI-encoded[1]. For non-HTTP(S) requests, SVN appears to be
more flexible and will except weird characters in the URL as
well as URI-encoded ones.
Since users are used to using URLs being entirely URI-encoded,
git svn will now attempt to unescape the path portion of URLs
while leaving the actual repository URL untouched.
This change will be reflected in newly-created $GIT_CONFIG files
only. This allows users to switch between svn(+ssh)://, file://
and http(s):// urls without changing the fetch/branches/tags
config keys. This won't affect existing imports at all (since
things didn't work before this commit anyways), and will allow
users to force escaping into repository paths that look like
they're escaped (but are not).
Thanks to Mike Smullin for the original bug report and Björn
Steinbrink for summarizing it into testable cases for me.

check_path(): allow symlinked directories to checkout-index --prefix
Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly
removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading
path that is a symlink. It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was
broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked
symlinks, 2009-07-29).
I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter
(prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire
a similar function has_dirs_only_path().
Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and
base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index"
when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there. It
might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir
feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know.
The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:
1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
be shared.
2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
repo.
This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.
For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".
For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.

This was fine at the time, because 0beee4c (git-add--interactive:

However, in 7a26e65 (Revert "git-add--interactive: remove hunk

would attempt in vain to merge mode changes with diff hunks,
corrupting both in the process.
We add a check to the coalescing loop to ensure it only looks at diff
hunks, thus skipping mode changes.

gitk: Fix direction of symmetric difference in optimized mode
ee66e08 (gitk: Make updates go faster, 2008-05-09) implemented an
optimized mode where gitk parses the arguments with rev-parse, and
manually reads history in chunks. As mentioned in the commit message,
symmetric differences are a problem there:
One wrinkle is that we have to turn symmetric diff arguments (of the
form a...b) back into symmetric diff form so that --left-right still
works, as git rev parse turns a...b into a b ^merge_base(a,b).
However, git-rev-parse returns a...b in the swapped order
b a ^merge_base(a,b)
This has been the case since at least 1f8115b (the state of master at
the time of the abovementioned ee66e08; Merge branch 'maint',
2008-05-08). So gitk flipped the sides of symmetric differences
whenever it was in optimized mode.
Fix this by swapping the sides of the reconstruction code.

block-sha1: improve code on large-register-set machines
For x86 performance (especially in 32-bit mode) I added that hack to write
the SHA1 internal temporary hash using a volatile pointer, in order to get
gcc to not try to cache the array contents. Because gcc will do all the
wrong things, and then spill things in insane random ways.
But on architectures like PPC, where you have 32 registers, it's actually
perfectly reasonable to put the whole temporary array[] into the register
set, and gcc can do so.
So make the 'volatile unsigned int *' cast be dependent on a
SMALL_REGISTER_SET preprocessor symbol, and enable it (currently) on just
x86 and x86-64. With that, the routine is fairly reasonable even when
compared to the hand-scheduled PPC version. Ben Herrenschmidt reports on
a G5:
* Paulus asm version: about 3.67s
* Yours with no change: about 5.74s
* Yours without "volatile": about 3.78s
so with this the C version is within about 3% of the asm one.

We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.
This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.
Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.
A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

merge: fix incorrect merge message for ambiguous tag/branch

checked whether "refs/heads/foo" existed, and if it did,

Instead, we should use dwim_ref to find the actual ref used,
