This allows git-send-pack to push local refs to a destination
repository under different names.
Here is the name mapping rules for refs.
* If there is no ref mapping on the command line:
- if '--all' is specified, it is equivalent to specifying
<local> ":" <local> for all the existing local refs on the
command line
- otherwise, it is equivalent to specifying <ref> ":" <ref> for
all the refs that exist on both sides.
* <name> is just a shorthand for <name> ":" <name>
* <src> ":" <dst>
push ref that matches <src> to ref that matches <dst>.
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of local
refs.
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
- If <dst> does not match any remote refs, either
- it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
destination literally in this case.
- <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
locally is used as the name of the destination.
For example,
- "git-send-pack --all <remote>" works exactly as before;
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:upstream" pushes local master
to remote ref that matches "upstream". If there is no such
ref, it is an error.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:refs/heads/upstream" pushes
local master to remote refs/heads/upstream, even when
refs/heads/upstream does not exist.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master" into an empty remote
repository pushes the local ref/heads/master to the remote
ref/heads/master.
A template mechanism to populate newly initialized repository
with default set of files is introduced. Use it to ship example
hooks that can be used for update and post update checks, as
Josef Weidendorfer suggests.
When pushing into multi-user repository, or when pushing to a
repository from a local repository that has rebased branches
that has been pruned, the destination repository can have head
commits that are missing from the local repository.
This should not matter as long as the local head of the branch
being pushed is a proper superset of the destination branch, but
we ended up trying to run rev-list telling it to exclude objects
reachable from those heads missing from the local repository,
causing it to barf. Prune those heads from the rev-list
parameter list, and make sure we do not try to push a branch
whose remote head is something we lack.

This causes ssh-pull to request objects in prefetch() and read then in

This also makes sha1_write_from_fd() support having a buffer of data

formerly not a problem, because it would always get a short read at

something with prefetch(), this should have no effect.

Make sure leading directories exist when pushing refs.
It does not matter if the only refs you push are directly
underneath heads and tags, but we forgot to make sure we have
leading directories so pushing tags/v0.99/1 would not have
worked.
The earlier one conflated update and post-update hooks for no
good reason. Correct that ugly hack. Now post-update hooks
will take the list of successfully updated refs.
Make send-pack --all and explicit ref mutually exclusive.
send-pack had a confusing misfeature that "send-pack --all
master" updated all refs, while "send-pack --all" did not do
anything. Make --all and explicit refs mutually exclusive, and
make sure "send-pack --all" updates all refs.
Things have slowly but surely started to settle down, and the
http transport finally can natively grok packed repositories.

will be accompanied with its own tag.

is called if executable. The hook can decline the ref to be
updated by exiting with a non-zero status, or allow it to be
updated by exiting with a zero status. The mechanism also
allows e.g sending of a mail with pushed commits on the remote
repository.
Documentation update with an example hook is included.
jc: The credits of the basic idea and initial implementation go
to Josef, but I ended up rewriting major parts of his patch, so
bugs are all mine. Also I changed the semantics for the hook
from his original version (which were post-update hook) so that
the hook can optionally decline to update the ref, and also can
be used to implement the overall cleanups. The latter was
primarily to implement a suggestion from Linus that calling
update-server-info should be made optional.
Introduce a new file $GIT_DIR/info/grafts (or $GIT_GRAFT_FILE)
which is a list of "fake commit parent records". Each line of
this file is a commit ID, followed by parent commit IDs, all
40-byte hex SHA1 separated by a single SP in between. The
records override the parent information we would normally read
from the commit objects, allowing both adding "fake" parents
(i.e. grafting), and pretending as if a commit is not a child of
some of its real parents (i.e. cauterizing).
Implement fetching from a packed repository over http/https
using the dumb server support files.
I consider some parts of the logic should be in a separate C
program, but it appears to work with my simple tests. I have
backburnered it for a bit too long for my liking, so let's throw
it out in the open and see what happens.
Specifically this should fix the following errors:
wrong # args: should be "startdiff ids" (fix from Junio Hamano)
can't read "filelines(....)": no such element in array
can't unset "treepending": no such variable

Hmm.. Here's a tentative fix. I'm not really happy with it, and maybe
somebody else can come up with a better one. I think this one ends up
being quite a bit more expensive than the old one (it will look up _all_
common parents that have a child that isn't common, and then select the
newest one of the bunch), but I haven't really thought it through very
much.
[PATCH] Making it easier to find which change introduced a bug
This adds a new "git bisect" command.
- "git bisect start"
start bisection search.
- "git bisect bad <rev>"
mark some version known-bad (if no arguments, then current HEAD)
- "git bisect good <revs>..."
mark some versions known-good (if no arguments, then current HEAD)
- "git bisect reset <branch>"
done with bisection search and go back to your work (if
no arguments, then "master").
The way you use it is:
git bisect start
git bisect bad # Current version is bad
git bisect good v2.6.13-rc2 # v2.6.13-rc2 was the last version
# tested that was good
When you give at least one bad and one good versions, it will
bisect the revision tree and say something like:
Bisecting: 675 revisions left to test after this
and check out the state in the middle. Now, compile that kernel, and boot
it. Now, let's say that this booted kernel works fine, then just do
git bisect good # this one is good
which will now say
Bisecting: 337 revisions left to test after this
and you continue along, compiling that one, testing it, and depending on
whether it is good or bad, you say "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad",
and ask for the next bisection.
Until you have no more left, and you'll have been left with the first bad
kernel rev in "refs/bisect/bad".
Oh, and then after you want to reset to the original head, do a
git bisect reset
to get back to the master branch, instead of being in one of the bisection
branches ("git bisect start" will do that for you too, actually: it will
reset the bisection state, and before it does that it checks that you're
not using some old bisection branch).
Not really any harder than doing series of "quilt push" and "quilt pop",
now is it?
[jc: This patch is a rework based on what Linus posted to the
list. The changes are:
- The original introduced four separate commands, which was
three too many, so I merged them into one with subcommands.
- Since the next thing you would want to do after telling it
"bad" and "good" is always to bisect, this version does it
automatically for you.
- I think the termination condition was wrong. The original
version checked if the set of revisions reachable from next
bisection but not rechable from any of the known good ones
is empty, but if the current bisection was a bad one, this
would not terminate, so I changed it to terminate it when
the set becomes a singleton or empty.
- Removed the use of shell array variable.

Pasky and others raised many valid points on the problems
initial exclude pattern enhancement work had. Based on the
list discussion, rework the exclude logic to use "last match
determines its fate" rule, and order the list by exclude-from
(the fallback default pattern file), exclude-per-directory
(shallower to deeper, so deeper ones can override), and then
command line exclude patterns.
This corner-case was triggered by a kernel commit that was not in date
order, due to a misconfigured time zone that made the commit appear three
hours older than it was.
That caused git-rev-list to traverse the commit tree in a non-obvious
order, and made it parse several of the _parents_ of the misplaced commit
before it actually parsed the commit itself. That's fine, but it meant
that the grandparents of the commit didn't get marked uninteresting,
because they had been reached through an "interesting" branch.
The reason was that "mark_parents_uninteresting()" (which is supposed to
mark all existing parents as being uninteresting - duh) didn't actually
traverse more than one level down the parent chain.
NORMALLY this is fine, since with the date-based traversal order,
grandparents won't ever even have been looked at before their parents (so
traversing the chain down isn't needed, because the next time around when
we pick out the parent we'll mark _its_ parents uninteresting), but since
we'd gotten out of order, we'd already seen the parent and thus never got
around to mark the grandparents.
Anyway, the fix is simple. Just traverse parent chains recursively.
Normally the chain won't even exist (since the parent hasn't been parsed
yet), so this is not actually going to trigger except in this strange
corner-case.
Add a comment to the simple one-liner, since this was a bit subtle, and I
had to really think things through to understand how it could happen.

Darrin Thompson noticed when he was showing off GIT to others

tempted to change them back to l/ and k/ prefixes, but decided
to restrain myself and update the tutorial instead ;-).
Improve the merge display when the result differs from all parents.
Now we see if the result is quite similar to one of the parents, and
if it is, display the result as a diff from that parent. If the result
is similar to more than one parent, pick the one that it's most
similar to.

Display the diffs for a merge in a unified fashion.
Stuff that ended up in the result is shown in bold with a "+" at the

the stuff was in; red for the first parent, blue for the second, then
green, purple, brown, and the rest are grey. If the result is different
from all of the parents it is shown in black (and bold).
In particular, warn about things like zero-padding of the mode bits,
which is a big no-no, since it makes otherwise identical trees have
different representations (and thus different SHA1 numbers).
The old mode conversion was not only complex, it also refused to change
the length of a mode, which made it fragile. By moving the mode
conversion around a bit, we can not only simplify it, it also ends up
being more powerful.
Also fix a memory leak that made it impossible to convert huge archives

git-fsck-cache.c: check commit objects more carefully
We historically used to be very careful in fsck-cache, but when it was
re-written to use "parse_object()" instead of parsing everything by
hand, it lost a bit of the checks. This, together with the previous
commit, should make it do more proper commit object syntax checks.
Also add a "--strict" flag, which warns about the old-style "0664" file
mode bits, which shouldn't exist in modern trees, but that happened
early on in git trees and that the default git-fsck-cache thus silently
accepts.
- use --verify to make sure rev param is a rev, and barf otherwise.
- make it always output to stdout; no funny business with tee.
- take optional branch head name to specify which branch to summarize.

- do not depend on diffstat; use git-apply --stat instead.
