Commit fe77b41 introduced a new attribute to let the linkgit macro
create cross-directory HTML references from the technical/ and howto/
subdirectories back to the main documentation. We define that attribute
to "../" on the command-line when building inside those subdirectories,
and otherwise leave it unset under the assumption that it would default
to being blank. Instead, asciidoc omits the link entirely, leading to
broken documentation. Fix this by defining git-relative-html-prefix to
blank in asciidoc.conf (and an instance on the command-line, when
present, will override it).

verify_filename(): ask the caller to chose the kind of diagnosis
verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we
just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so
we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at
revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument
must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a
pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an
object name.
For example, with this change, we get:
$ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant
fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree.
Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.
$ git log HEAD:inexistant
fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD'

sha1_name: do not trigger detailed diagnosis for file arguments
diagnose_invalid_sha1_path() is meant to be called to diagnose a
misspelt <treeish>:<pathname> when <pathname> does not exist in
<treeish>. However, the code may call it if <treeish>:<pathname> is
invalid (which triggers another call with only_to_die == 1), but for
another reason. This happens when calling e.g.
git log existing-file HEAD:existing-file
because existing-file is a path and not a revision, the code
verifies that the arguments that follow to be paths. This leads to
an incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD",
even though the path exists in HEAD.
Check that the search for <pathname> in <treeish> fails before
triggering the diagnosis.

There is no point in running a pager when --quiet is given,
since we are producing no output. The regular diff code path
handles this already, because --quiet implies --exit-code,
and we check for --exit-code when deciding not to run the
pager.
However, the "quiet implies exit-code" logic is done in
diff_setup_done, and the no-index code path sets up its
pager before running diff_setup_done, and misses this case.
We can fix this by reordering our initialization.
Currently we do:
1. read command line arguments into diff_options
2. Set pager if EXIT_CODE not requested
3. always set EXIT_CODE, since we are emulating
traditional diff
4. call diff_setup_done
We can fix the problem by moving pager initialization (step
2) after step 4. But step 3 must come after step 2 (since we
want to know whether the _user_ requested --exit-code, not
whether we turned it on unconditionally). So we must move
both.

git-diff does not rely on the git wrapper to setup its
pager; instead, it sets it up on its own after seeing
whether --quiet or --exit-code has been specified. After
diff_no_index was split off from cmd_diff, commit b3fde6c
(git diff --no-index: default to page like other diff
frontends, 2008-05-26) duplicated the one-liner from
cmd_diff to turn on the pager.
Later, commit 8f0359f (Allow pager of diff command be
enabled/disabled, 2008-07-21) taught the the version in
cmd_diff to respect the pager.diff config, but the version
in diff_no_index was left behind. This meant that
git -c pager.diff=0 diff a b
would not use a pager, but
git -c pager.diff=0 diff --no-index a b
would. Let's fix it by factoring out a common function.
While we're there, let's update the antiquated comment,
which claims that the pager interferes with propagating the
exit code; this has not been the case since ea27a18 (spawn
pager via run_command interface, 2008-07-22).

git-cherry-pick.txt: clarify the use of revision range notation
When given a set of commits, cherry-pick will apply the changes for
all of them. Specifying a simple range will also work as expected.
This can lead the user to think that
git cherry-pick A B..C
may apply A and then B..C, but that is not what happens.
Instead the revs are given to a single invocation of rev-list, which
will consider A and C as positive revs and B as a negative one. The
commit A will not be used if it is an ancestor of B.
Add a note about this and add an example with this particular
syntax, which has shown up on the list a few times.

git: Wrong parsing of ssh urls with IPv6 literals ignores port
If we encounter an address part shaped like "[HOST]:PORT", we skip the opening
bracket and replace the closing one with a NUL. The variable host then points
to HOST and we've cut off the PORT part. Thus, when we go looking for it using
host a bit later, we can't find it. Start at end instead, which either points
to the colon, if present, or is equal to host.

git-svn: use YAML format for mergeinfo cache when possible
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30),
git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in
.git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some
mergeinfo-related information with every "git svn fetch".
These caches use the 'nstore' format from the perl core module
Storable, which can be read and written quickly and was designed for
transfer over the wire (the 'n' stands for 'network'). This format is
endianness-independent and independent of floating-point
representation.
Unfortunately the format is *not* independent of the perl version ---
new perl versions will write files that very old perl cannot read.
Worse, the format is not independent of the size of a perl integer.
So if you toggle perl's use64bitint compile-time option, then using
'git svn fetch' on your old repositories produces errors like this:
Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit
into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 380, at
/usr/share/perl/5.12/Memoize/Storable.pm line 21
That is, upgrading perl to a version that uses use64bitint for the
first time makes git-svn suddenly refuse to fetch in existing
repositories. Removing .git/svn/.caches lets git-svn recover.
It's time to switch to a platform independent serializer backend with
better compatibility guarantees. This patch uses YAML::Any.
Other choices were considered:
- thawing data from Data::Dumper involves "eval". Doing that without
creating a security risk is fussy.
- the JSON API works on scalars in memory and doesn't provide a
standard way to serialize straight to disk.
YAML::Any is reasonably fast and has a pleasant API. In most
backends, LoadFile() reads the entire file into a scalar anyway and
converts it as a second step, but having an interface that allows the
deserialization to happen on the fly without a temporary is still a
comfort.
YAML::Any is not a core perl module, so we take care to use it when
and only when it is available. Installations without that module
should fall back to using Storable with all its quirks, keeping their
cache files in
.git/svn/.caches/*.db
Installations with YAML peacefully coexist by keeping a separate set
of cache files in
.git/svn/.caches/*.yaml.
In most cases, switching between is a one-time thing, so it doesn't
seem worth the complication to migrate existing caches.
The upshot: after this patch, as long as YAML::Any is installed you
can move your git repository between machines with different perl
installations and "git svn fetch" will work fine. If you do not have
YAML::Any, the behavior is unchanged (and in particular does not get
any worse).

Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.
We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.
We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:
1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
the linked manpage
2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,
only html

t1304 first runs setfacl as an experiment to see whether the
filesystem supports ACLs, and skips the remaining tests if
it does not. However, our setfacl run did not exercise the
ACLs very well, and some filesystems may support our initial
setfacl, but not the rest of the test.
In particular, some versions of ecryptfs will erroneously
apply the umask on top of an inherited directory ACL,
causing our tests to fail. Let's be more careful and make
sure both that we can read back the user ACL we set, and
that the inherited ACL is propagated correctly. The latter
catches the ecryptfs bug, but may also catch other bugs
(e.g., an implementation which does not handle inherited
ACLs at all).
Since we're making the setup more complex, let's move it
into its own test. This will hide the output for us unless
the user wants to run "-v" to see it (and we don't need to
bother printing anything about setfacl failing; the
remaining tests will properly print "skip" due to the
missing prerequisite).
