rev-list: honor --quiet option
api-run-command.txt: typofix
Currently fast-import/export cannot be used for
repositories with submodules. This patch extends
the relevant programs to make them correctly
process gitlinks.
Links can be represented by two forms of the
Modify command:
M 160000 SHA1 some/path
which sets the link target explicitly, or
M 160000 :mark some/path
where the mark refers to a commit. The latter
form can be used by importing tools to build
all submodules simultaneously in one physical
repository, and then simply fetch them apart.

Documentation/git-merge.txt: Partial rewrite of How Merge Works
The git-merge documentation's "HOW MERGE WORKS" section is confusingly
composed and actually omits the most interesting part, the merging of
the arguments into HEAD itself, surprisingly not actually mentioning
the fast-forward merge anywhere.
This patch replaces the "[NOTE]" screenful of highly technical details
by a single sentence summing up the interesting information, and instead
explains how are the arguments compared with HEAD and the three possible
inclusion states that are named "Already up-to-date", "Fast-forward"
and "True merge". It also makes it clear that the rest of the section
talks only about the true merge situation, and slightly expands the
talk on solving conflicts.
Junio initiated the removal of the Note screenful altogether and
offered many stylistical fixes.

archive: make zip compression level independent from core git
zlib_compression_level is the compression level used for git's object store.
It's 1 by default, which is the fastest setting. This variable is also used
as the default compression level for ZIP archives created by git archive.
For archives, however, zlib's own default of 6 is more appropriate, as it's
favouring small size over speed -- archive creation is not that performance
critical most of the time.
This patch makes git archive independent from git's internal compression
level setting. It affects invocations of git archive without explicitly
specified compression level option, only.

Documentation: How to ignore local changes in tracked files
This patch explains more carefully that `.gitignore` concerns only
untracked files and refers the reader to
git update-index --assume-unchanged
in the need of ignoring uncommitted changes in already tracked files.
The description of this option is lifted to a more "porcelainish"
level and explains the caveats of this usecase.
Whether feasible or not, I believe adding this functionality to
the porcelain is out of the scope of this patch. (And I personally
think that referring to the plumbing in the case of such a special
usage is fine.)
This is currently probably one of the top FAQs at #git and the
--assume-unchanged switch is not widely known; gitignore(5) is the first
place where people are likely to look for it.

t9001 (send-email): Do not use hardcoded /bin/sh in test
Scriptlets used form inside this test began with hardcoded "#!/bin/sh".
By setting SHELL_PATH the user is already telling us that what the vendor

Originally noticed by SungHyun Nam who later tested this patch and
verified that it fixes the issue on Solaris 9.
When hold_locked_index() is called with a relative git_dir and you are
outside the work tree, the lock file become relative to the current
directory. So when later setup_work_tree() change the current directory
it breaks lock file path and commit_locked_index() fails.

lock file relative to the working tree as it should be and add a test

Nick Andrew noticed that rev-list lets --quiet option to be parsed by
underlying diff_options parser but did not pick up the result. This
resulted in --quiet option to become effectively a no-op.
The original code relied on an insane definition of skip_prefix() that
returned an empty string for a NULL input and returned the original if the
given "prefix" is not a prefix at all (it would have been justifiable if
it were called "come_up_with_a_short_name_to_report_ref()" or something,
though). In any case, when we replaced it with a more saner definition of
the function whose behaviour is true to its name, its callers needed to be
adjusted but the conversion missed one call site.
This introduces a helper function "abbrev_ref()" whose purpose is to get a
full refname and its possible prefix and to strip the prefix part if it
matches, or refname itself in full if it doesn't. This makes the callers
easier to read again.

index-pack: Honor core.deltaBaseCacheLimit when resolving deltas
If we are trying to resolve deltas for a long delta chain composed
of multi-megabyte objects we can easily run into requiring 500M+
of memory to hold each object in the chain on the call stack while
we recurse into the dependent objects and resolve them.
We now use a simple delta cache that discards objects near the
bottom of the call stack first, as they are the most least recently
used objects in this current delta chain. If we recurse out of a
chain we may find the base object is no longer available, as it was
free'd to keep memory under the deltaBaseCacheLimit. In such cases
we must unpack the base object again, which will require recursing
back to the root of the top of the delta chain as we released that
root first.
The astute reader will probably realize that we can still exceed
the delta base cache limit, but this happens only if the most
recent base plus the delta plus the inflated dependent sum up to
more than the base cache limit. Due to the way patch_delta is
currently implemented we cannot operate in less memory anyway.

index-pack: Track the object_entry that creates each base_data
If we free the data stored within a base_data we need the struct
object_entry to get the data back again for use with another dependent
delta. Storing the object_entry* in base_data makes it simple to call
get_data_from_pack() to recover the compressed information.
This however means that we must add the missing base object to the end of
our packfile prior to calling resolve_delta() on each of the dependent
deltas. Adding the base first ensures we can read the base back from the
pack we are indexing, as if it had been included by the remote side.

base_cache gives us the head of the chain (bottom of the stack)

git-submodule - register submodule URL if adding in place
When adding a new submodule in place, meaning the user created the
submodule as a git repo in the superproject's tree first, we don't go
through "git submodule init" to register the module. Thus, the
submodule's origin repository URL is not stored in .git/config, and no
subsequent submodule operation will ever do so. In this case, assume the
URL the user supplies to "submodule add" is the one that should be

git-submodule - make "submodule add" more strict, and document it
This change makes "submodule add" much more strict in the arguments it
takes, and is intended to address confusion as recently noted on the
git-list. With this change, the required syntax is:
$ git submodule add URL path
Specifically, this eliminates the form
$ git submodule add URL
which was confused by more than one person as
$ git submodule add path
With this patch, the URL locating the submodule's origin repository can be
either an absolute URL, or (if it begins with ./ or ../) can express the
submodule's repository location relative to the superproject's origin.
This patch also eliminates a third form of URL, which was relative to the
superproject's top-level directory (not its repository). Any URL that was
neither absolute nor matched ./*|../* was assumed to point to a
subdirectory of the superproject as the location of the submodule's origin
repository. This URL form was confusing and does not seem to correspond
to an important use-case. Specifically, no-one has identified the need to
clone from a repository already in the superproject's tree, but if this is
needed it is easily done using an absolute URL: $(pwd)/relative-path. So,
no functionality is lost with this patch. (t6008-rev-list-submodule.sh did
rely upon this relative URL, fixed by using $(pwd).)
Following this change, there are exactly four variants of
submodule-add, as both arguments have two flavors:
URL can be absolute, or can begin with ./|../ and thus names the
submodule's origin relative to the superproject's origin.
Note: With this patch, "submodule add" discerns an absolute URL as
matching /*|*:*: e.g., URL begins with /, or it contains a :. This works
for all valid URLs, an absolute path in POSIX, as well as an absolute path
on Windows).
path can either already exist as a valid git repo, or will be cloned from
the given URL. The first form here eases creation of a new submodule in
an existing superproject as the submodule can be added and tested in-tree
before pushing to the public repository. However, the more usual form is
the second, where the repo is cloned from the given URL.
This specifically addresses the issue of
$ git submodule add a/b/c
attempting to clone from a repository at "a/b/c" to create a new module
in "c". This also simplifies description of "relative URL" as there is now
exactly *one* form: a URL relative to the parent's origin repo.

bash completion: Resolve git show ref:path<tab> losing ref: portion
Linus reported that the bash completion for git show often dropped
the ref portion of the argument (stuff before the :) when trying
to complete a file name of a file in another branch or tag.
Björn Steinbrink tracked it down to the gvfs completion script
which comes standard on many Fedora Core based systems. That is
removing : from COMP_WORDBREAKS, making readline treat the entire
argument (including the ref) as the name that must be completed.
When the git completion routines supplied a completion of just the
filename, readline replaced everything.
Since Git users often need to use "ref:path" or "ref:ref" sort of
arguments, and expect completion support on both sides of the :
we really want the : in COMP_WORDBREAKS to provide a good user
experience. This is also the default that ships with bash as it
can be useful in other contexts, such as rcp/scp.
We now try to add : back to COMP_WORDBREAKS if it has been removed
by a script that loaded before us. However if this doesn't work
(as the : is stripped after we load) we fallback in the completion
routines to include "ref:" as part of the prefix for completions,
allowing readine to fully insert the argument the user wanted.
