name-rev: do not omit leading components of ref name.
In a repository with mainto/1.0 (to keep maintaining the 1.0.X
series) and fixo/1.0 (to keep fixes that apply to both 1.0.X
series and upwards) branches, "git-name-rev mainto/1.0" answered
just "1.0" making things ambiguous. Show refnames unambiguously
like show-branch does.
prune: do not show error from pack-redundant when no packs are found.
When there is no pack yet, git-prune leaked an error message
from "git-pack-redundant --all" which complained that there is
no pack. Squelch the annoying message.
The official maintainer is keeping up-to-date quite well, and now
the older Debian is supported with backports.org, there is no reason
for me to keep debian/ directory around here.
I have not been building and publishing debs since 1.0.4 anyway.
"cvs add" support was already there, but the "unknown" status
returned when querying a file not yet known to cvs caused the
script to abort prematurely.
When the other end was prepared with older git and has tags that
do not follow the naming convention (see check-ref-format), do not
barf but simply reject to copy them.
Initial fix by Simon Richter, but done differently.
Not that the stat against open race would matter much in this context,
but that simplifies
the code a bit. Also some diagnostics added (why the open failed)

If approxidate ends up with a month that is ahead of the current month, it
decrements the year to last year.
Which is correct, and means that "last december" does the right thing.
HOWEVER. It should only do so if the year is the same as the current year.
Without this fix, "5 days ago" ends up being in 2004, because it first
decrements five days, getting us to December 2005 (correct), but then it
also ends up decrementing the year once more to turn that December into
"last year" (incorrect, since it already _was_ last year).
Duh. Pass me a donut.

Move git-rev-list --merge-order usage check for 'OpenSSL not linked' after
test 1; we cannot trigger this unless we try to actually use --merge-order
by giving some ref, and we do not have any ref until we run the first test
to create commits.

Starting from this one I won't be touching debian/ directory
since the official maintainer seems to be reasonably quick to
package up things. The packaging procedure used there seems to
be quite different from what I have, so I'd like to avoid
potential confusion and reduce work by the official maintainer
and myself.
This patch converts a stat() to an lstat() call, thereby fixing the case
when the date of a symlink was not the same as the one recorded in the
index. The included test case demonstrates this.
This is for the case that the symlink points to a non-existing file. If
the file exists, worse things than just an error message happen.

Johannes found that the test has 1/256 chance of falsely
producing an uncorrupted idx file, causing the check to detect
corruption fail. Now we have 1/2^160 chance of false failure
;-).
Avoid asking for zero bytes when that change simplifies overall
logic. Later we would change the wrapper to ask for 1 byte on
platforms that return NULL for zero byte request.
We did not distinguish the case the user asked not to make a
commit with --no-commit flag and the automerge failed. Tell
these cases apart and phrase dying message differently.
. It simplifies the logic to handle the case in which no
refs are given on the command line, and fixes the bug
when only "--heads" is specified. Earlier we showed
them twice.
. It avoids to add the same ref twice.
. It sorts the glob result (e.g. "git show-branch
'tags/v1.0*'") according to a more version friendly
sort order.
sha1_to_hex() returns a pointer to a static buffer. Some of its users
modify that buffer by appending a newline character. Other users rely
on the fact that you can call
printf("%s", sha1_to_hex(sha1));
Just to be on the safe side, terminate the SHA1 in sha1_to_hex().

Wnen refusing to push a head, we said cryptic "remote 'branch'
object X does not exist on local" or "remote ref 'branch' is not
a strict subset of local ref 'branch'". That was gittish.
Since the most likely reason this happens is because the pushed
head was not up-to-date, clarify the error message to say that
straight, and suggest pulling first.

objects/info/packs: work around bug in http-fetch.c::fetch_indices()
The code to fetch pack index files in deployed clients have a
bug that causes it to ignore the pack file on the last line of
objects/info/packs file, so append an empty line to work it
around.
The previous round caught the most trivial case well, but broke
down once index file is updated again. Smudge problematic
entries (they should be very few if any under normal interactive
workflow) before writing a new index file out.
This fixes the longstanding "Racy GIT" problem, which was pretty
much there from the beginning of time, but was first
demonstrated by Pasky in this message on October 24, 2005:
so that the second update to file "infocom" does not change
st_mtime, what is recorded as the stat information for the cache
entry "infocom" exactly matches what is on the filesystem
(owner, group, inum, mtime, ctime, mode, length). After this
sequence, we incorrectly think "infocom" file still has string
"frotz" in it, and get really confused. E.g. git-diff-files
would say there is no change, git-update-index --refresh would
not even look at the filesystem to correct the situation.
Some ways of working around this issue were already suggested by
Linus in the same thread on the same day, including waiting
until the next second before returning from update-index if a
cache entry written out has the current timestamp, but that
means we can make at most one commit per second, and given that
the e-mail patch workflow used by Linus needs to process at
least 5 commits per second, it is not an acceptable solution.
Linus notes that git-apply is primarily used to update the index
while processing e-mailed patches, which is true, and
git-apply's up-to-date check is fooled by the same problem but
luckily in the other direction, so it is not really a big issue,
but still it is disturbing.
The function ce_match_stat() is called to bypass the comparison
against filesystem data when the stat data recorded in the cache
entry matches what stat() returns from the filesystem. This
patch tackles the problem by changing it to actually go to the
filesystem data for cache entries that have the same mtime as
the index file itself. This works as long as the index file and
working tree files are on the filesystems that share the same
monotonic clock. Files on network mounted filesystems sometimes
get skewed timestamps compared to "date" output, but as long as
working tree files' timestamps are skewed the same way as the
index file's, this approach still works. The only problematic
files are the ones that have the same timestamp as the index
file's, because two file updates that sandwitch the index file
update must happen within the same second to trigger the
problem.
format-patch: make sure header and body are separated.
Since log message in a commit object is defined to be binary
blob, it could be something without an empty line between the
title line and the body text. Be careful to format such into
a form suitable for e-mail submission. There must be an empty
line between the headers and the body.
When I show transcripts to explain how something works, I often
find myself hand-editing the diff-raw output to shorten various
object names in the output.
This adds --abbrev option to the diff family, which shortens
diff-raw output and diff-tree commit id headers.
xread/xwrite: do not worry about EINTR at calling sites.
We had errno==EINTR check after read(2)/write(2) sprinkled all
over the places, always doing continue. Consolidate them into
xread()/xwrite() wrapper routines.
Credits for suggestion goes to HPA -- bugs are mine.
We still advertise "git resolve" as a standalone command, but never
"git octopus", so nobody should be using it and it is safe to
retire it. The functionality is still available as a strategy
backend.
rev-list --objects: fix object list without commit.
Earlier, "rev-list --objects <sha1>" for an object chain that
does not have any commit failed with a usage message. This
fixes "send-pack remote $tag" where tag points at a non-commit
(e.g. a blob).
This changes "pretty_print_string_list()" to show the git commands
alphabetically in column order, which is the normal one.
Ie instead of doing
git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin'
----------------------------------------------
add am ...
applypatch archimport ...
cat-file check-ref-format ...
...
it does
git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin'
----------------------------------------------
add diff-tree ...
am fetch ...
apply fetch-pack ...
...
where each column is sorted.
This is how "ls" sorts things too, and since visually the columns are much
more distinct than the rows, so it _looks_ more sorted.
The "ls" command has a "-x" option that lists entries by lines (the way
git.c used to): if somebody wants to do that, the new print-out logic
could be easily accomodated to that too. Matter of taste and preference, I
guess.

Currently the git "show commands" function will react to the environment
variable COLUMNS, or just default to a width of 80 characters.
That's just soo eighties. Nobody sane sets COLUMNS any more, unless they
need to support some stone-age software from before the age of steam
engines, SIGWINCH and TIOCGWINSZ.
So get with the new century, and use TIOCGWINSZ to get the terminal size.
