Expand the history-browsing section of the tutorial a bit, in part to
address Junio's suggestion that we mention "git grep" and Linus's
complaint that people are missing the flexibility of the commandline
interfaces for selecting commits.
This reads a little more like a collection of examples than a
"tutorial", but maybe that's what people need at this point.

the check is done before making a commit. format-patch is run

This cleans up and libifies the "git update-index --[really-]refresh"
functionality. This will be eventually required for eventually doing the
"commit" and "status" commands as built-ins.
It really just moves "refresh_index()" from update-index.c to
read-cache.c, but it also has to change the calling convention so that the
function uses a "unsigned int flags" argument instead of various static
flags variables for passing down the information about whether to be quiet
or not, and allow unmerged entries etc.
That actually cleans up update-index.c too, since it turns out that all
those flags were really specific to that one function of the index update,
so they shouldn't have had file-scope visibility even before.

Since large quilt trees like -mm can easily have patches
without clear authorship information, add a --dry-run
option to make the problem patches easy to find.
Importing a quilt patch series into git is not very difficult
but parsing the patch descriptions and all of the other
minutia take a bit of effort to get right, so this automates it.
Since git and quilt complement each other it makes sense
to make it easy to go back and forth between the two.
If a patch is encountered that it cannot derive the author
from the user is asked.
This was surprisingly easy. The diff is truly minimal: rename "main()" to
"cmd_rev_list()" in rev-list.c, and rename the whole file to reflect its
new built-in status.

Gitk wants to use git-diff-tree as a filter to tell it which ids from
a given list affect a set of files or directories. We don't want to
fork and exec a new git-diff-tree process for each batch of ids, since
there could be a lot of relatively small batches. For example, a
batch could contain as many ids as fit in gitk's headline display
window, i.e. 20 or so, and we would be processing a new batch every
time the user scrolls that window.
The --stdin flag to git-diff-tree is suitable for this, but the main
difficulty is that the output of git-diff-tree gets buffered and
doesn't get sent until the buffer is full.
This provides a way to get git-diff-tree to flush its output buffers.
If a blank line is supplied on git-diff-tree's standard input, it will
flush its output buffers and then accept further input.

apply --cached: do not check newly added file in the working tree
The --cached mode does not deal with the working tree, so we
should not check it with lstat. An earlier code omitted the
call to lstat but forgot to omit the check for the errno.
Of course, it still ignores the fact that not all grep's support some of
the flags like -F/-L/-A/-C etc, but for those cases, the external grep
itself will happily just say "unrecognized option -F" or similar.
So with this change, "git grep" should handle all the flags the native
grep handles, which is really quite fine. We don't _need_ to expose
anything more, and if you do want our extensions, you can get them with
"--uncached" and an up-to-date index.
No configuration necessary, and we automatically take advantage of any
native grep we have, if possible.

Some implementations do not know what to do with -H; define
NO_H_OPTION_IN_GREP when you build git if your grep lacks -H.
Most of the time, it can be worked around by prepending
/dev/null to the argument list, but that causes -L and -c to
slightly misbehave (they both expose /dev/null is given), so
when these options are given, do not run external grep that does
not understand -H.
read-tree -m -u: do not overwrite or remove untracked working tree files.
When a merge results in a creation of a path that did not exist
in HEAD, and if you already have that path on the working tree,
because the index has not been told about the working tree file,
read-tree happily removes it. The issue was brought up by Santi
Béjar on the list.
This provides a linear decrement on the penalty related to delta depth
instead of being an 1/x function. With this another 5% reduction is
observed on packs for both the GIT repo and the Linux kernel repo, as
well as fixing a pack size regression in another sample repo I have.

Now 'git apply' can apply patch without working tree, preparation
of pristine preimage and postimage trees that are done when falling
back on 3-way merge by "git am" can do so without temporary files.

Fix compilation on newer NetBSD systems

Another config file parsing fix.
checkout: use --aggressive when running a 3-way merge (-m).
Fix pack-index issue on 64-bit platforms a bit more portably.
Apparently <stdint.h> is not enough for uint32_t on OpenBSD; use
"unsigned int" -- hopefully that would stay 32-bit on every
platform we care about, at least until we update the pack-index
file format.
Our sha1 routines optimized for architectures use uint32_t and
expects '#include <stdint.h>' to be enough, so OpenBSD on arm or
ppc might have similar issues down the road, I dunno.
Avoid creating a delta index for objects with maximum depth since they
are not going to be used as delta base anyway. This also reduce peak
memory usage slightly as the current object's delta index is not useful
until the next object in the loop is considered for deltification. This
saves a bit more than 1% on CPU usage.

simple euristic for further free packing improvements
Given that the early eviction of objects with maximum delta depth
may exhibit bad packing on its own, why not considering a bias against
deep base objects in try_delta() to mitigate that bad behavior.
This patch adjust the MAX_size allowed for a delta based on the depth of
the base object as well as enabling the early eviction of max depth
objects from the object window. When used separately, those two things
produce slightly better and much worse results respectively. But their
combined effect is a surprising significant packing improvement.
With this really simple patch the GIT repo gets nearly 15% smaller, and
the Linux kernel repo about 5% smaller, with no significantly measurable
CPU usage difference.

read-tree -u one-way merge fix to check out locally modified paths.
The "-u" flag means "update the working tree files", but to
other types of merges, it also implies "I want to keep my local
changes" -- because they prevent local changes from getting lost
by using verify_uptodate. The one-way merge is different from
other merges in that its purpose is opposite of doing something
else while keeping unrelated local changes. The point of
one-way merge is to nuke local changes. So while it feels
somewhat wrong that this actively loses local changes, it is the
right thing to do.
builtin-grep: use external grep when we can take advantage of it
It's not perfect, but it gets the "git grep some-random-string" down to
the good old half-a-second range for the kernel.
It should convert more of the argument flags for "grep", that should be
trivial to expand (I did a few just as an example). It should also bother
to try to return the right "hit" value (which it doesn't, right now - the
code is kind of there, but I didn't actually bother to do it _right_).
Also, right now it _just_ limits by number of arguments, but it should
also strictly speaking limit by total argument size (ie add up the length
of the filenames, and do the "exec_grep()" flush call if it's bigger than
some random value like 32kB).
But I think that it's _conceptually_ doing all the right things, and it
seems to work. So maybe somebody else can do some of the final polish.

When renaming leading/a/filename to leading/b/filename (and
"filename" is sufficiently long), we tried to squash the rename
to "leading/{a => b}/filename". However, when "/a" or "/b" part
is empty, we underflowed and tried to print a substring of
length -1.
Now that the one-way merge strategy does the right thing wrt files that do
not exist in the result, just remove all the random crud we did in "git
reset" to do this all by hand.
Instead, just pass in "-u" to git-read-tree when we do a hard reset, and
depend on git-read-tree to update the working tree appropriately.
This basically means that git reset turns into
# Always update the HEAD ref
git update-ref HEAD "$rev"
case "--soft"
# do nothing to index/working tree
case "--hard"
# read index _and_ update working tree
git-read-tree --reset -u "$rev"
case "--mixed"
# update just index, report on working tree differences
git-read-tree --reset "$rev"
git-update-index --refresh
which is what it was always semantically doing, it just did it in a
rather strange way because it was written to not expect git-read-tree to
do anything to the working tree.

git diff: support "-U" and "--unified" options properly
We used to parse "-U" and "--unified" as part of the GIT_DIFF_OPTS
environment variable, but strangely enough we would _not_ parse them as
part of the normal diff command line (where we only accepted "-u").
This adds parsing of -U and --unified, both with an optional numeric
argument. So now you can just say
git diff --unified=5
to get a unified diff with a five-line context, instead of having to do
something silly like
GIT_DIFF_OPTS="--unified=5" git diff -u
(that silly format does continue to still work, of course).
