user-manual: how to replace commits older than most recent
"Modifying" an old commit by checking it out, --amend'ing it, then
rebasing on top of it, is a slightly cumbersome technique, but I've
found it useful frequently enough to make it seem worth documenting.

The generated user manual is rather hard to read thanks to the lack of
the css that's supposed to be included from docbook-xsl.css.
I'm totally ignorant of the toolchain; grubbing through xmlto and
related scripts, the easiest way I could find to ensure that the
generated html links to the stylesheet is by calling xsltproc directly.
Maybe there's some better way.

second (input buffer pointer) parameter of type const char **.
This is the old prototype, which is none-the-less used by the

Fix some "comparison is always true/false" warnings.
On Cygwin the wchar_t type is an unsigned short (16-bit) int.
This results in the above warnings from the return statement in
the wcwidth() function (in particular, the expressions involving
constants with values larger than 0xffff). Simply replace the
use of wchar_t with an unsigned int, typedef-ed as ucs_char_t.

that's an illogical thing to do, since "git show" is defined to be a
non-revision-walking action, which means the range operator be pointless
and wrong. The fact that we happily accept it (and then _only_ show
v1.5.0, which is the positive end of the range) is quite arguably not very
logical.
We should complain, and say that you can only do "no_walk" with positive
refs. Negative object refs really don't make any sense unless you walk
the obejct list (or you're "git diff" and know about ranges explicitly).

git-apply: do not fix whitespaces on context lines.
Internal function apply_line() is called to copy both context lines
and added lines to the output buffer, while possibly fixing the
whitespace breakages depending on --whitespace=strip settings.
However, it did its fix-up on both context lines and added lines.
This resulted in two symptoms:
(1) The number of lines reported to have been fixed up included
these context lines.
(2) However, the lines actually shown were limited to the added
lines that had whitespace breakages.
diff --cc: integer overflow given a 2GB-or-larger file
Few of us use git to compare or even version-control 2GB files,
but when we do, we'll want it to work.
Reading a recent patch, I noticed two lines like this:
int len = st.st_size;
Instead of "int", that should be "size_t". Otherwise, in the
non-symlink case, with 64-bit size_t, if the file's size is 2GB,
the following xmalloc will fail:
result = xmalloc(len + 1);
trying to allocate 2^64 - 2^31 + 1 bytes (assuming sign-extension
in the int-to-size_t promotion). And even if it didn't fail, the
subsequent "result[len] = 0;" would be equivalent to an unpleasant
"result[-2147483648] = 0;"
The other nearby "int"-declared size variable, sz, should also be of
type size_t, for the same reason. If sz ever wraps around and becomes
negative, xread will corrupt memory _before_ the "result" buffer.

mailinfo: do not get confused with logical lines that are too long.
It basically considers all the continuation lines to be lines of their

truncate the result rather than stop in the middle and then get confused

first line).

diff --cc: fix display of symlink conflicts during a merge.

merge-recursive: fix longstanding bug in merging symlinks
Commit 3af244ca added unlink(2) before running symlink(2) to

pointed by a symlink.
merge-index: fix longstanding bug in merging symlinks
Ancient commit e2b6a9d0 added code to pass "file modes" from
merge-index to merge-one-file, and then later commit 54dd99a1
wanted to make sure we do not end up creating a nonsense symlink
that points at a path whose name contains conflict markers.
However, nobody noticed that the code in merge-index added by e2b6a9d0 were stripping the S_IFMT bits and the code in 54dd99a1
was meaningless. This fixes it.
Allow arbitrary number of arguments to git-pack-objects
If a repository ever gets in a situation where there are too many
packs (more than 60 or so), perhaps because of frequent use of
git-fetch -k or incremental git-repack, then it becomes impossible to
fully repack the repository with git-repack -a. That command just
dies with the cryptic message
fatal: too many internal rev-list options
This message comes from git-pack-objects, which is passed one command
line option like --unpacked=pack-<SHA1>.pack for each pack file to be
repacked. However, the current code has a static limit of 64 command
line arguments and just aborts if more arguments are passed to it.
Fix this by dynamically allocating the array of command line
arguments, and doubling the size each time it overflows.

git-gui: Correct crash when saving options in blame mode.
Martin Waitz noticed that git-gui crashed while saving the user's
options out if the application was started in blame mode. This
was caused by the do_save_config procedure invoking reshow_diff
incase the number of context lines was modified by the user.
Because we bypassed main window UI setup to enter blame mode we
did not set many of the globals which were accessed by reshow_diff,
and reading unset variables is an error in Tcl.
Aside from moving the globals to be set earlier, I also modified
reshow_diff to not invoke clear_diff if there is no path currently
in the diff viewer. This way reshow_diff does not crash when in
blame mode due to the $ui_diff command not being defined.

When somebody else extracts git tarball inside a larger project,
'git describe' would reported the version number of that upper
level project.
Sometimes, using the consistent versioning across subdirectories
of a larger project is useful, but it may not always be the
right thing to do.
This changes the script to check ./vertion file first, and then
fall back to "git describe". This way, by default, tarball
distribution will get our own version. If the upper level wants
to use consistent versioning across its subdirectories, its
Makefile can overwrite ./version file to force whatever version
number they want to give us before descending into us.
Make gitk save and restore window pane position on Linux and Cygwin.
Subtle bugs remained on both Cygwin and Linux that caused the various
window panes to be restored in positions different than where the user
last placed them. Sergey Vlasov posed a pair of suggested fixes to this,
what is done here is slightly different. The basic fix here involves
a) explicitly remembering and restoring the sash positions for the upper
window, and b) using paneconfigure to redundantly set height and width of
other elements. This redundancy is needed as Cygwin Tcl has a nasty habit
of setting pane sizes to zero if their slaves are not configured with a
specific size, but Linux Tcl does not honor the specific size given.

Make gitk save and restore the user set window position.
gitk was saving widget sizes and positions when the main window was
destroyed, which is after all child widgets are destroyed. The cure
is to trap the WM_DELETE_WINDOW event before the gui is torn down. Also,
the saved geometry was captured using "winfo geometry .", rather than
"wm geometry ." Under Linux, these two return different answers and the
latter one is correct.

The gitk gui layout was completely broken on Cygwin. If gitk was started
without previous geometry in ~/.gitk, the user could drag the window sashes
to get a useable layout. However, if ~/.gitk existed, this was not possible
at all.
The fix was to rewrite makewindow, changing the toplevel containers and
the particular geometry information saved between sessions. Numerous bugs
in both the Cygwin and the Linux Tk versions make this a delicate
balancing act: the version here works in both but many subtle variants
are competely broken in one or the other environment.
Three user visible changes result:
1 - The viewer is fully functional under Cygwin.
2 - The search bar moves from the bottom to the top of the lower left
pane. This was necessary to get around a layout problem on Cygwin.
3 - The window size and position is saved and restored between sessions.
Again, this is necessary to get around a layout problem on Cygwin.
