If you have /home/me/git symlink pointing at /pub/git/mine,
trying to clone from /pub/git/his/ using relative path would not
work as expected:
$ cd /home/me
$ cd git
$ ls ../
his mine
$ git clone -l -s -n ../his/stuff.git
This is because "cd ../his/stuff.git" done inside git-clone to
check if the repository is local is confused by $PWD, which is
set to /home/me, and tries to go to /home/his/stuff.git which is
different from /pub/git/his/stuff.git.
We could probably say "set -P" (or "cd -P") instead, if we know
the shell is POSIX, but the way the patch is coded is probably
more portable.

Randal L. Schwartz pointed out multiple times that we should be
testing the length of the name string here, not if it is "true".
The problem is the string '0' is actually false in Perl when we
try to evaluate it in this context, as '0' is 0 numerically and
the number 0 is treated as a false value. This would cause us
to break out of the import loop early if anyone had a file or
directory named "0".

user-manual: clean up fast-forward and dangling-objects sections
The previous commit calls attention to the fact that we have two
sections each devoted to fast-forwards and to dangling objects. Revise
and attempt to differentiate them a bit. Some more reorganization may
be required later....
Any section lacking an id gets an annoying warning when you build
the manual. More seriously, the table of contents then generates
volatile id's which change with every build, with the effect that
we get URL's that change all the time.
The ID's are manually generated and sometimes inconsistent, but
that's OK.

When you do this, existing "blame -C -C" would not find that the
latter half of the file2 came from the existing file1:
... both file1 and file2 are tracked ...
$ cat file1 >>file2
$ git add file1 file2
$ git commit
This is because we avoid the expensive find-copies-harder code
that makes unchanged file (in this case, file1) as a candidate
for copy & paste source when annotating an existing file
(file2). The third -C now allows it. However, this obviously
makes the process very expensive. We've actually seen this
patch before, but I dismissed it because it covers such a narrow
(and arguably stupid) corner case.
blame: Notice a wholesale incorporation of an existing file.
The -C option to blame tries to find a section of a preimage
file by running diff against the lines whose origin is still
unknown, and excluding the different parts. The code however
did not cover the case where the tail part of the section
matched, which we handle for the normal non-move/copy codepath.
This breakage was most visible when preimage file matches in its
entirety and failed to pass blame in such a case.
Most other documentation will frequently be read from an installation
of git so will naturally be associated with the installed version.
But these two documents in particular are often read from web pages
while users are still exploring git. It's important to mention
version 1.5.1 since these documents provide example commands that
won't work with previous versions of git.
git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back
to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the
last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when
using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by
StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this
behavior. And document it, too!

There is a mechanism PERL_PATH in the Makefile to specify path to

Teach import-tars about GNU tar's @LongLink extension.
This extension allows GNU tar to process file names in excess of the 100
characters defined by the original tar standard. It does this by faking a
file, named '././@LongLink' containing the true file name, and then adding
the file with a truncated name. The idea is that tar without this
extension will write out a file with the long file name, and write the
contents into a file with truncated name.
Unfortunately, GNU tar does a lousy job at times. When truncating results
in a _directory_ name, it will happily use _that_ as a truncated name for
the file.
An example where this actually happens is gcc-4.1.2, where the full path
of the file WeThrowThisExceptionHelper.java truncates _exactly_ before the
basename. So, we have to support that ad-hoc extension.
This bug was noticed by Chris Riddoch on IRC.

Fix symlink handling in git-svn, related to PerlIO
After reading the leading contents from a symlink data obtained
from subversion, which we expect to begin with 'link ', the code
forked to hash the remainder (which should match readlink()
result) using git-hash-objects, by redirecting its STDIN from
the filehandle we read that 'link ' from. This was Ok with Perl
on modern Linux, but on Mac OS, the read in the parent process
slurped more than we asked for in stdio buffer, and the child
did not correctly see the "remainder".
This attempts to fix the issue by using lower level sysseek and
sysread instead of seek and read to bypass the stdio buffer.

Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to
use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with
a 128 MiB packfile. Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the
rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence:
open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...>
<... open resumed> ) = 5
And we asked for another window further into the file. But got
denied. In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the
git-daemon process, and its children.
Now where are we in the code? We're down inside use_pack(),
after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure
we stay within our allowed maximum window size. However since we
didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding
the current limit (which probably was just the defaults).
But we're actually down inside xmmap()...
So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory),
assuming there is some memory pressure...
And that was the last window in this packfile. So we closed it.
Way to go us. Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to
close the fd its about to map...
And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM,
and die, claiming we are out of memory. But actually that mmap
should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window,
seeing as how we released the prior one.
Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had
this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing
in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the
caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window
closed it. The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't
have the struct packed_git* handy. So I'm using the file descriptor
instead to perform the same test.

Create a sysconfdir variable, and use it for ETC_GITCONFIG
ETC_GITCONFIG defaults to $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig, so if you just set
prefix=/usr, you end up with a git that looks in /usr/etc/gitconfig, rather
than /etc/gitconfig as specified by the FHS. Furthermore, setting
ETC_GITCONFIG does not fix the paths to any future system-wide configuration
files.
Factor out the path to the system-wide configuration directory into a variable
sysconfdir, normally set to $(prefix)/etc, but set to /etc when prefix=/usr .
This fixes the prefix=/usr problem for ETC_GITCONFIG, and allows centralized
configuration of any future system-wide configuration files without requiring
further action from package maintainers or other people building and
installing git.

The function common_prefix() is used to find the common subdirectory of
a couple of pathnames. When checking if the next pathname matches up with
the prefix, it incorrectly checked the whole path, not just the prefix
(including the slash). Thus, the expensive part of the loop was executed
always.
The other bug is more serious: if the first and the last pathname in the
list have a longer common prefix than the common prefix for _all_ pathnames
in the list, the longer one would be chosen. This bug was probably hidden
by the fact that bash's wildcard expansion sorts the results, and the code
just so happens to work with sorted input.

In asciidoc 7.1.2 and prior there is no obvious way to get:
'add'ing
to emphasize only the "add", instead it treats the first apostrophe as the
beginning of an emphasis, and the second apostrophe as a regular
apostrophe and makes the rest of the line an emphasis since there is no
closing apostrophe. In the newer asciidoc you can do it pretty easily
with __add__ing but I'm not sure it would be best to make that a prereq
