Documentation/git-tag.txt: Document how to backdate tags
Added a new section beneath "On Automatic following" called "On
Backdating Tags". This includes an explanation of when to use this
method, a brief explanation of the kind of date that can be used in
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, and an example invocation of git-tag using a custom
setting of GIT_AUTHOR_DATE.

git-rebase--interactive.sh: Quote arguments to test
If /bin/sh is /bin/dash, then the script will display an error if
$parent_sha1 is undefined. This patch works fixes the issue by
quoting both arguments to `test'. Arguments composed solely of
variable expansions should always be quoted, unless we know for
certain that the contents are defined.

manual: Fix example finding commits referencing given content.
If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the
working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files,
so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should
look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would
also find renamed files. However, it is also slower.

The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.
It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion
of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know
what branches matched on the server.
Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment
safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally
suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

Don't grow the buffer if there is enough space in the first place.
As a side effect, when the editing is done "in place", we don't grow, so
the buffer pointer doesn't changes, and `src' isn't invalidated anymore.

running the webrick server with git requires Ruby and Ruby's YAML and
Webrick libraries (both of which come standard with Ruby). nice for
single-user standalone invocations.
the --httpd=webrick option generates a ruby script on the fly to read
httpd.conf options and invoke the web server via library call. this
script is placed in the .git/gitweb directory. it also generates a
shell script in a feeble attempt to invoke ruby in a portable manner,
which assumes that 'ruby' is in the user's $PATH.

This adds cvs support to the git-shell; You can now give new users
a restricted git-shell and they still can commit via git's cvs
emulator.
Note that either the gecos information must be accurate, or you must
provide a $HOME/.gitconfig with the appropriate user credentials.
Since the git-shell is too restricted to allow the user to do it
(on purpose!), it is up to the administrator to take care of that.

Before this patch, clear_commit_marks() recursed for each parent. This
could be potentially very expensive in terms of stack space. Probably
the only reason that this did not lead to problems is the fact that we
typically call clear_commit_marks() after marking a relatively small set
of commits.
Use (sort of) a tail recursion instead: first recurse on the parents
other than the first one, and then continue the loop with the first
parent.

git add -i: Fix parsing of abbreviated hunk headers
The unified diff format allows one-line ranges to be abbreviated
by omiting the size. The hunk header "@@ -10,1 +10,1 @@" can be
expressed as "@@ -10 +10 @@", but this wasn't properly parsed in
all cases.
Such abbreviated hunk headers are generated when a one-line change
(add, remove or modify) appears without context; for example
because the file is a one-liner itself or because GIT_DIFF_OPTS
was set to '-u0'. If the user then runs 'git add -i' and enters
the 'patch' command for that file, perl complains about undefined
variables.

Clean up "git log" format with DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT
This fixes an unnecessary empty line that we add to the log message when
we generate diffs, but don't actually end up printing any due to having
DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT set.
This can happen with pickaxe or with rename following. The reason is that
we normally add an empty line between the commit and the diff, but we do
that even for the case where we've then suppressed the actual printing of
the diff.
This also updates a couple of tests that assumed the extraneous empty
line would exist at the end of output.

It turns out that I completely broke "git log --follow" with my recent
patch to revision.c ("Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff
generation", commit b7bb760d5ed4881422673d32f869d140221d3564).
Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function,
exactly the same way pickaxe does.
So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed
this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial
one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment).
Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following
(which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because
then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs
themselves.
So while "git log --follow <filename>" didn't work, adding a "-p"
magically made it work again even without this fix.

In most cases of branching, the tree is copied unmodified from the trunk
to the branch. When that is done, we can simply start with the parent's
index and apply the changes on the branch as usual.
[ew: rewritten from Steven's original to use SVN::Client instead
of the command-line svn client.
Since SVN::Client connects separately, we'll share our
authentication providers array between our usages of
SVN::Client and SVN::Ra, too. Bypassing the high-level
SVN::Client library can avoid this, but the code will be
much more complex. Regardless, any implementation of this
seems to require restarting a connection to the remote
server.
Also of note is that SVN 1.4 and later allows a more
efficient diff_summary to be done instead of a full diff,
but since this code is only to support SVN < 1.4.4, we'll
ignore it for now.]

This tests basic functionality and also exercises a bug noticed
by Keith Packard, (prune_cache followed by add_index_entry can
trigger an attempt to realloc a pointer into the middle of an
allocated buffer).
Must not modify the_index.cache as it may be passed to realloc at some point.
The index cache is not static, growing as new entries are added. If
entries are added after prune_cache is called, cache will no longer
point at the base of the allocation, and realloc will not be happy.
I verified that this was the only place in the current source which
modified any index_state.cache elements aside from the alloc/realloc
calls in read-cache by changing the type of the element to 'struct
cache_entry ** const cache' and recompiling.
A more efficient patch would create a separate 'cache_base' value to
track the allocation and then fix things up when reallocation was
necessary, instead of the brute-force memmove used here.
We find rename candidates by computing a fingerprint hash of
each file, and then comparing those fingerprints. There are
inherently O(n^2) comparisons, so it pays in CPU time to
hoist the (rather expensive) computation of the fingerprint
out of that loop (or to cache it once we have computed it once).
Previously, we didn't keep the filespec information around
because then we had the potential to consume a great deal of
memory. However, instead of keeping all of the filespec
data, we can instead just keep the fingerprint.
This patch implements and uses diff_free_filespec_data_large
to accomplish that goal. We also have to change
estimate_similarity not to needlessly repopulate the
filespec data when we already have the hash.
Practical tests showed 4.5x speedup for a 10% memory usage
increase.

Make for-each-ref's grab_date() support per-atom formatting
grab_date() gets an extra parameter - atomname; this extra parameter is
checked to see if it has a ":<format>" extra component in it, and if so
that "<format>" string is passed to parse_date_format() to produce an
enum date_mode value which is then further passed to show_date().
In short it allows the user of git-for-each-ref to do things like this:
$ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:default)' refs/tags/v1.5.2
Sun May 20 00:30:42 2007 -0700

We used to incorrectly start calculating diffs whenever any argument but
'-z' was recognized by the diff options parsing. That was bogus, since not
all arguments result in diffs being needed, so we just waste a lot of time
and effort on calculating diffs that don't matter.
This actually also fixes another bug in "git log". Try this:
git log -C
and notice how it prints an extra empty line in between log entries, even
though it never prints the actual diff (because we didn't ask for any diff
format, so the diff machinery never prints anything).
With this patch, that bogus empty line is gone, because "revs->diff" is
never set. So this isn't just a "wasted time and effort" issue, it's also
a slight semantic fix.

For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept
things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an
initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons.
strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf
anymore.
as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying
->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope,
and eventually be free'd.
API changes:
* strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience
macro.
* strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be
NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to
make the code more readable, and working like the callers.
