git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work tree
Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the
files that have disappeared from the working tree will probably
look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'.
Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves
other commands than 'git rm'). Based on a suggestion by Junio,
but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of
command reference.
While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working
tree" for consistency.

The %.o: %.S pattern rule should depend on GIT-CFLAGS to avoid
trouble when ALL_CFLAGS changes.
The pattern only applies to one file (ppc/sha1ppc.S) and that
file does not use any #ifdefs, so leaving the dependency out is
probably harmless. Nevertheless, it is safer to include the
dependency in case future code's behavior does depend on the
build flags.

Input to "grep" is supposed to be "text", but we deliberately feed output

Fortunately, "grep -a" is often a way to force the command to treat its

being merged into a trunk, this makes for a very expensive operation for
detecting the new parents on every merge.

commands, all you have to do is to start emacs and repeat

The "git rebase -i" command, however, aborts without cleaning
the "$GIT_DIR/rebase-merge" directory if it fails to launch the
editor, so you'll need to do "git rebase --abort" before
repeating the rebase command.

with "die") if the initial launch of the editor fails.

worktree: don't segfault with an absolute pathspec without a work tree
ignore unknown color configuration
help.autocorrect: do not run a command if the command given is junk
Illustrate "filter" attribute with an example
worktree: don't segfault with an absolute pathspec without a work tree
If a command is run with an absolute path as a pathspec inside a bare
repository, e.g. "rev-list HEAD -- /home", the code tried to run strlen()
on NULL, which is the result of get_git_work_tree(), and segfaulted. It
should just fail instead.
Currently the function returns NULL even inside .git/ in a repository
with a work tree, but that is a separate issue.
When parsing the config file, if there is a value that is
syntactically correct but unused, we generally ignore it.
This lets non-core porcelains store arbitrary information in
the config file, and it means that configuration files can
be shared between new and old versions of git (the old
versions might simply ignore certain configuration).
The one exception to this is color configuration; if we
encounter a color.{diff,branch,status}.$slot variable, we
die if it is not one of the recognized slots (presumably as
a safety valve for user misconfiguration). This behavior
has existed since 801235c (diff --color: use
$GIT_DIR/config, 2006-06-24), but hasn't yet caused a
problem. No porcelain has wanted to store extra colors, and
we once a color area (like color.diff) has been introduced,
we've never changed the set of color slots.
However, that changed recently with the addition of
color.diff.func. Now a user with color.diff.func in their
config can no longer freely switch between v1.6.6 and older
versions; the old versions will complain about the existence
of the variable.
This patch loosens the check to match the rest of
git-config; unknown color slots are simply ignored. This
doesn't fix this particular problem, as the older version
(without this patch) is the problem, but it at least
prevents it from happening again in the future.

latter restriction on dissimilarity was not obeyed.
In my case, this happened:

status/commit: do not suggest "reset HEAD <path>" while merging
Suggesting "'reset HEAD <path>' to unstage" is dead wrong if we are about
to record a merge commit. For either an unmerged path (i.e. with
unresolved conflicts), or an updated path, it would result in discarding
what the other branch did.
Note that we do not do anything special in a case where we are amending a
merge. The user is making an evil merge starting from an already
committed merge, and running "reset HEAD <path>" is the right way to get
rid of the local edit that has been added to the index.
Once "reset --unresolve <path>" becomes available, we might want to
suggest it for a merged path that has unresolve information, but until
then, just remove the incorrect advice.
We might also want to suggest "checkout --conflict <path>" to revert the
file in the work tree to the state of failed automerge for an unmerged
path, but we never did that, and this commit does not change that.
commit/status: "git add <path>" is not necessarily how to resolve
When the desired resolution is to remove the path, "git rm <path>" is the
command the user needs to use. Just like in "Changed but not updated"
section, suggest to use "git add/rm" as appropriate.
commit/status: check $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD only once
The code checked for the MERGE_HEAD file to see if we were about
to commit a merge twice in the codepath; also one of them used a
variable merge_head_sha1[] which was set but was never used.
Just check it once, but do so also in "git status", too, as
we will be using this for status generation in the next patch.
Print the sha1 of the deleted tag (in addition to the tag name) so that
one can easily recreate a mistakenly deleted tag:
git tag -d tagname
Deleted tag 'tagname' (was DEADBEEF)
git tag 'tagname' DEADBEEF
We output the previous ref also in the case of forcefully overwriting
tags.

Giving --format from the command line, or using output file extention to
DWIM the output format, with a pathspec that is disambiguated with an
explicit double-dash on the command line, e.g.
git archive -o file --format=zip HEAD -- path
git archive -o file.zip HEAD -- path
didn't work correctly.
This was because the code reordered (when one was given) or added (when
the format was inferred) a --format argument at the end, effectively
making it to "archive HEAD -- path --format=zip", i.e. an extra pathspec
that is unlikely to match anything.
The command line argument list should always be "options, revs and then
paths", and we should set a good example by inserting the --format at the
beginning instead.
