The current documentation fails to mention that 'git add -A/--all' can
remove files as well as add them, and it also does not say anything about
filepatterns (whether they are allowed, mandatory, or optional). It is
also not clear what the similarities and differences to the -u option are.
Update the intro paragraph (as suggested by Junio, with some minor edits)
to make it clear that 'git add' is able to delete and to also cover the -p
option.
Reword the description of -u to make it clearer (based on Björn
Steinbrink's suggestion).

I just wanted to add the recently learnt '--reset-author' option, but
then noticed that there are many more options missing. This patch
adds support for all of 'git commit's options, except '--allow-empty',
because it is primarily there for foreign scm interfaces.
Furthermore, this patch also adds support for completing the arguments
of those options that take a non-filename argument: valid modes are
offered for '--cleanup' and '--untracked-files', while refs for
'--reuse-message' and '--reedit-message', because these two take a
commit as argument.

git-gui: Increase blame viewer usability on MacOS.
On MacOS raising a window causes the focus to be transferred
to it -- although it may actually be a bug in the Tcl/Tk port.
When this happens with the blame viewer tooltips, it makes
the interface less usable, because Entry and Leave handlers
on the text view cause the tip to disappear once the mouse
is moved even 1 pixel.
This commit makes the code raise the main window on MacOS
when Tk 8.5 is used. This version seems to properly support
wm transient by making the tip stay on top of the master,
so reraising the master does not cause it to disappear. Thus
the only remaining sign of problems is slight UI flicker
when focus is momentarily transferred to the tip and back.

git-gui: search 4 directories to improve statistic of gc hint
On Windows, git-gui suggests running the garbage collector if it finds
1 or more files in .git/objects/42 (as opposed to 8 files on other
platforms). The probability of that happening if the repo contains
about 100 loose objects is 32%. The probability for the same to happen
when searching 4 directories is only 8%, which is bit more reasonable.
Also remove $objects_limit from the message, because we already know
that we are above (or close to) that limit. Telling the user about
that number does not really give him any useful information.
The following octave script shows the probability for at least m*q
objects to be found in q subdirectories of .git/objects if n is the
total number of objects.
q = 4;
m = [1 2 8];
n = 0:10:2000;
P = zeros(length(n), length(m));
for k = 1:length(n)
P(k, :) = 1-binocdf(q*m-1, n(k), q/(256-q));
end
plot(n, P);
After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.
In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.
Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.
Also add tests to verify this behavior.

Fix diff -B/--dirstat miscounting of newly added contents
What used to happen is that diffcore_count_changes() simply ignored any
hashes in the destination that didn't match hashes in the source. EXCEPT
if the source hash didn't exist at all, in which case it would count _one_
destination hash that happened to have the "next" hash value. As a
consequence, newly added material was often undercounted, making output
from --dirstat and "complete rewrite" detection used by -B unrelialble.
This changes it so that:
- whenever it bypasses a destination hash (because it doesn't match a
source), it counts the bytes associated with that as "literal added"
- at the end (once we have used up all the source hashes), we do the same
thing with the remaining destination hashes.
- when hashes do match, and we use the difference in counts as a value,
we also use up that destination hash entry (the 'd++').

The existing code checked to make sure we were not in a bare
repository when doing a hard reset. However, we should take
this one step further, and make sure we are in a worktree.
Otherwise, we can end up munging files inside of '.git'.
Furthermore, we should do the same check for --merge resets,
which have the same properties. Actually, a merge reset of
HEAD^ would already complain, since further down in the code
we want a worktree. However, it is nicer to check up-front;
then we are sure we cover all cases ("git reset --merge"
would run, even though it wasn't doing anything) and we can
give a more specific message.
Add tests to t7103 to cover these cases and some missing ones.

Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparam
Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.
When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.
Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.
If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:
Fix crasher on encountering SHA1-like non-note in notes tree
When loading a notes tree, the code primarily looks for SHA1-like paths
whose total length (discounting directory separators) are 40 chars
(interpreted as valid note entries) or less (interpreted as subtree
entries that may in turn contain note entries when unpacked).
However, there is an additional condition that must hold for valid
subtree entries: They must be _tree_ objects (duh).
This patch adds an appropriate test for this condition, thereby fixing
the crash that occured when passing a non-tree object to the tree-walk
API.
The patch also adds another selftest verifying correct behaviour of
non-notes in note trees.

When using multi-pass authentication methods, the curl library may need
to rewind the read buffers used for providing data to HTTP POST, if data
has been output before a 401 error is received.
This is needed only when the first request (when the multi-pass
authentication method isn't initialized and hasn't received its challenge
yet) for a certain curl session is a chunked HTTP POST.
As long as the current rpc read buffer is the first one, we're able to
rewind without need for additional buffering.
The curl library currently starts sending data without waiting for a
response to the Expect: 100-continue header, due to a bug in curl that
exists up to curl version 7.19.7.
If the HTTP server doesn't handle Expect: 100-continue headers properly
(e.g. Lighttpd), the library has to start sending data without knowing
if the request will be successfully authenticated. In this case, this
rewinding solution is not sufficient - the whole request will be sent
before the 401 error is received.
