The commit message for c976d41 (git-branch: add options and tests for
branch renaming, 2006-11-28) mentions RENAME_REF but otherwise this is not
documented anywhere, and it does not appear in any of the tests.
Worse yet, the name of the actual file is "RENAMED-REF".
This was supposed to hold the commit object name at the tip of the branch
the most recent "branch -m/-M" renamed, but that is not necessary in order
to be able to recover from a mistake. Even when "branch -M A B" overwrites
an existing branch B, what is kept in RENAMED-REF is the commit at the tip
of the original branch A, not the commit B from the now-lost branch.
git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming
Extend git-branch with the following options:
git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch
The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting
branchname.
This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.
Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.
Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

git-clone: Rename --use-immingled-remote option to --no-separate-remote
With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.
Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote

Linus recommended this, otherwise any renames cause the
diffstat output to be ridiculous in some circumstances.
Because the corresponding "git-pull" done when the requestee
actually makes pull shows the stat with rename detection

git-mv: search more precisely for source directory in index
A move of a directory should find the entries in the index by
searching for the name _including_ the slash. Otherwise, the

git-svn: avoid fetching files twice in the same revision
SVN is not entirely consistent in returning log information and
sometimes returns file information when adding subdirectories,
and sometimes it does not (only returning information about the
directory that was added). This caused git-svn to occasionally
add a file to the list of files to be fetched twice. Now we
change the data structure to be hash to avoid repeated fetches.
As of now (in master), this only affects repositories fetched
without deltas enabled (file://, and when manually overriden
with GIT_SVN_DELTA_FETCH=0); so this bug mainly affects users of
1.4.4.1 and maint.
Thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting this bug.

tutorial: talk about user.name early and don't start with commit -a
Introducing yourself to git early would be a good idea; otherwise
the user may not find the mistake until much later when "git log"
is learned.
Teaching "commit -a" without saying that it is a shortcut for
listing the paths to commit leaves the user puzzled. Teach the

We lacked "--" termination in the underlying init_revisions() call
which made it impossible to specify a revision that happens to

We used to get the case that more than two paths came from the
same commit wrong when computing the output width and deciding
to turn on --show-name option automatically. When we find that
lines that came from a path that is different from what we
started digging from, we should always turn --show-name on, and
we should count the name length for all files involved.
After the bugfix to connect to repositories where the user has
limited read permissions, multi-init was broken due to our
SVN::Ra connection being limited to working in a subdirectory;
so we now create a new Ra connection for init-ing branches

Along with that fix, allow the user to use the command-line

Commit 35e65ecc broke completion of local refs, e.g. "git pull . fo<tab>"
no longer would complete to "foo". Instead it printed out an internal
git error ("fatal: Not a git repository: '.'").
The break occurred when I tried to improve performance by switching from
git-peek-remote to git-for-each-ref. Apparently git-peek-remote will
drop into directory "$1/.git" (where $1 is its first parameter) if it
is given a repository with a working directory. This allowed the bash
completion code to work properly even though it was not handing over
the true repository directory.
So now we do a stat in bash to see if we need to add "/.git" to the
path string before running any command with --git-dir.
I also tried to optimize away two "git rev-parse --git-dir" invocations
in common cases like "git log fo<tab>" as typically the user is in the
top level directory of their project and therefore the .git subdirectory
is in the current working directory. This should make a difference on
systems where fork+exec might take a little while.

Cache the list of merge strategies and available commands during load.
Since the user's git installation is not likely to grow a new command
or merge strategy in the lifespan of the current shell process we can
save time during completion operations by caching these lists during
sourcing of the completion support.
If the git executable is not available or we run into errors while
caching at load time then we defer these to runtime and generate
the list on the fly. This might happen if the user doesn't put git
into their PATH until after the completion script gets sourced.

Earlier, we checked the HEAD ref for the purpose of "subset"

Because of this, you cannot delete a branch even with -D while

With this change, the following sequence that now works:
git-clone: stop dumb protocol from copying refs outside heads/ and tags/.
Most notably, the original code first copied refs/remotes/ that
remote side had to local, and overwrote them by mapping refs/heads/
from the remote when a dumb protocol transport was used.
This makes the clone behaviour by dumb protocol in line with the
git native and rsync transports.

replace the destination ref with the object known as $src on the

git-cvsimport: add support for CVS pserver method HTTP/1.x proxying
This patch adds support for 'proxy' and 'proxyport' connection options
when using the pserver method for the CVS Root.
It has been tested with a Squid 2.5.x proxy server.
Quoting from the CVS info manual:
The `gserver' and `pserver' connection methods all accept optional
method options, specified as part of the METHOD string, like so:
:METHOD[;OPTION=ARG...]:
Currently, the only two valid connection options are `proxy', which
takes a hostname as an argument, and `proxyport', which takes a port
number as an argument. These options can be used to connect via an HTTP
tunnel style web proxy. For example, to connect pserver via a web proxy
at www.myproxy.net and port 8000, you would use a method of:
:pserver;proxy=www.myproxy.net;proxyport=8000:
*NOTE: The rest of the connection string is required to connect to
the server as noted in the upcoming sections on password authentication,
gserver and kserver. The example above would only modify the METHOD
portion of the repository name.*
PROXY must be supplied to connect to a CVS server via a proxy
server, but PROXYPORT will default to port 8080 if not supplied.
PROXYPORT may also be set via the CVS_PROXY_PORT environment variable.
