git fetch-pack: do not complain about "no common commits" in an empty repo
If the repo is empty, it is obvious that there are no common commits
when fetching from _anywhere_.
So there is no use in saying it in that case, and it can even be
annoying. Therefore suppress the message unilaterally if the repository
is empty prior to the fetch.

While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

There are basically two categories of update failures for

2. D/F conflicts on tracking branch ref names
In either case, there should already have been an error
message. In case '1', hopefully enough information has
already been given that the user can fix it. In the case of
'2', we can hint that the user can clean up their tracking
branch area by using 'git remote prune'.
Note that we don't actually know _which_ case we have, so
the user will receive the hint in case 1, as well. In this
case the suggestion won't do any good, but hopefully the

git-svn: avoid filling up the disk with temp files.
Commit ffe256f9bac8a40ff751a9341a5869d98f72c285 ("git-svn: Speed up fetch")
introduced changes that create a temporary file for each object fetched by
svn. These files should be deleted automatically, but perl apparently
doesn't do this until the process exits (or perhaps when its garbage
collector runs).
This means that on a large fetch, especially with lots of branches, we
sometimes fill up /tmp completely, which prevents the next temp file from
being written completely. This is aggravated by the fact that a new temp
file is created for each updated file, even if that update produces a file
identical to one already in git. Thus, it can happen even if there's lots
of disk space to store the finished repository.
We weren't adequately checking for write errors, so this would result in an
invalid file getting committed, which caused git-svn to fail later with an
invalid checksum.
This patch adds a check to syswrite() so similar problems don't lead to
corruption in the future. It also unlink()'s each temp file explicitly
when we're done with it, so the disk doesn't need to fill up.

help: check early if we have a command, if not try a documentation topic
Before this patch, something like "git help tutorial" did not work,
people had to use "git help gittutorial" which is not very intuitive.
This patch uses the "is_git_command" function to test early if the
argument passed to "git help" is a git command, and if this is not the
case then we prefix the argument with "git" instead of "git-".
This way, things like "git help tutorial" or "git help glossary" will
work fine.
The little downside of this patch is that the "is_git_command" is a
little bit slow.

git-apply: handle a patch that touches the same path more than once better
When working with a lot of people who backport patches all day long, every
once in a while I get a patch that modifies the same file more than once
inside the same patch. git-apply either fails if the second change relies
on the first change or silently drops the first change if the second change
is independent.
The silent part is the scary scenario for us. Also this behaviour is
different from the patch-utils.
I have modified git-apply to create a table of the filenames of files it
modifies such that if a later patch chunk modifies a file in the table it
will buffer the previously changed file instead of reading the original file
from disk.
Logic has been put in to handle creations/deletions/renames/copies. All the
relevant tests of git-apply succeed.
A new test has been added to cover the cases I addressed.
The fix is relatively straight-forward.

fetch: report local storage errors in status table
Previously, if there was an error while storing a local
tracking ref, the low-level functions would report an error,
but fetch's status output wouldn't indicate any problem.
E.g., imagine you have an old "refs/remotes/origin/foo/bar" but
upstream has deleted "foo/bar" in favor of a new branch
"foo". You would get output like this:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
* [new branch] foo -> origin/foo
With this patch, the output takes into account the status of
updating the local ref:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
! [new branch] foo -> origin/foo (unable to update local ref)

Document the double-dash "rev -- path" disambiguator
This is a very well established command line convention that old residents
of the git mailing list knew by heart and nobody even thought about
documenting it explicitly, which was not very nice.
Update sample pre-commit hook to use "diff --check"
Now "diff --check" can detect not just whitespace errors but also notices
leftover conflict marker lines, we can use it in the sample pre-commit
hook script.
These days the object layer knows about the empty tree object without
actually having one in the repository, so we can run the test even for the
initial commit.
The function name was too bland and not explicit enough as to what it is
checking. Split it into two, and call the one that checks if there is a
whitespace breakage "ws_check()", and call the other one that checks and
emits the line after color coding "ws_check_emit()".
diff --check: explain why we do not care whether old side is binary
All other codepaths refrain from running textual diff when either the old
or the new side is binary, but this function only checks the new side. I
was almost going to change it to check both, but that would be a bad
change. Explain why to prevent future mistakes.
This is a backport of 0a47dc110e042b5bcc63dc94c8d517e67efe9306
to 'maint' to be included in 1.5.6.2 so that older server side
can accept dashless form of request when clients are updated.
diff --check: do not discard error status upon seeing a good line
"git diff --check" should return non-zero when there was any whitespace
error but the code only paid attention to the error status of the last
new line in the patch.
Previously, we did a sanity check by doing for-each-ref
using each possible format atom. However, we never checked
the actual output produced by that atom, which recently let
an obvious bug go undetected for some time.
While we're at it, also clean up a few '!' into
test_must_fail.
I'm working with a perforce repo using git-p4. There are some config
files which I need to change locally according to my environment. I'm
using a 'local' git branch to park these changes. And I want to avoid
accidentally checking them into p4 just by doing "git p4 submit"
mindlessly without realizing which branch I'm actually on.
This patch adds a new git config, 'git-p4.allowSubmit', which is a
whitelist of branch names. "git p4 submit" will only allow submissions
from local branches on the list. Useful for preventing inadvertently
submitting from a strictly local branch.
For backward compatibility, if this config is not set at all,
submissions from all branches are allowed.

git-rebase.sh: Add check if rebase is in progress
Resetting a selected set of index entries is done with
"git reset -- paths" syntax, but we did not allow -- to be omitted
even when the command is unambiguous.
This updates the command to follow the general rule:
* When -- appears, revs come before it, and paths come after it;
* When there is no --, earlier ones are revs and the rest are paths, and
we need to guess. When lack of -- marker forces us to guess, we
protect from user errors and typoes by making sure what we treat as
revs do not appear as filenames in the work tree, and what we treat as
paths do appear as filenames in the work tree, and by erroring out if
that is not the case. We tell the user to disambiguate by using -- in
such a case.
which is employed elsewhere in the system.
When this rule is applied to "reset", because we can have only zero or one
rev to the command, the check can be slightly simpler than other programs.
We have to check only the first one or two tokens after the command name
and options, and when they are:
-- A:
no explicit rev given; "A" and whatever follows it are paths.
A --:
explicit rev "A" given and whatever follows the "--" are paths.
A B:
"A" could be rev or path and we need to guess. "B" could
be missing but if exists that (and everything that follows) would
be paths.
So we apply the guess only in the last case and only to "A" (not "B" and
what comes after it).
* As long as "A" is unambiguously a path, index entries for "A", "B" (and
everything that follows) are reset to the HEAD revision.
* If "A" is unambiguously a rev, on the other hand, the index entries for
"B" (and everything that follows) are reset to the "A" revision.

Otherwise remote executions directly over ssh won't find them as they used

Later versions of clients (fetch-pack and send-pack) probably could start

We used to mark hooks we ship as samples by making them unexecutable, but
