Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option
as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but
the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree
manual.
The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit:
git show -s rev
Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the
'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it
would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper,
which says:
The command takes options applicable to the git
diff-tree command to control how the changes the
commit introduces are shown.
This manual page describes only the most frequently
used options.

apply: don't segfault on binary files with missing data
Usually when applying a binary diff generated without
--binary, it will be rejected early, as we don't even have
the full sha1 of the pre- and post-images.
However, if the diff is generated with --full-index (but not
--binary), then we will actually try to apply it. If we have
the postimage blob, then we can take a shortcut and never
even look at the binary diff at all (e.g., this can happen
when rebasing changes within a repository).
If we don't have the postimage blob, though, we try to look
at the actual fragments, of which there are none, and get a
segfault. This patch checks explicitly for that case and
complains to the user instead of segfaulting. We need to
keep the check at a low level so that the "shortcut" case
above continues to work.
We also add a test that demonstrates the segfault. While
we're at it, let's also explicitly test the shortcut case.

For terminal tests that capture output/stderr, the TTY prerequisite
warning does not quite work for commands like
test_terminal foo >out 2>err
because the warning gets "swallowed" up by the redirection that's
supposed only to be done by the subcommand.
Even worse, the outcome depends on whether stdout was already a
terminal (in which case test_terminal is a noop) or not (in which case
test_terminal introduces a pseudo-tty in the middle of the pipeline).
- use the test_terminal script even when running with "-v".
- skip tests that require a terminal when the test_terminal
script is unusable because IO::Pty is not installed.
- write the "need to declare TTY prerequisite" message to fd 4,
where it will be printed when running tests with -v, rather

send-pack: avoid redundant "pack-objects died with strange error"
Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant. The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).
Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.
So leave off the "strange error" messages.
The result should look something like this:
$ git push sf master
Counting objects: 21542, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
error: pack-objects died of signal 13
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'

Or in the "controlled exit" case (contrived example):

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".
For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)
Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.
This patch changes that, by allowing
M 040000 <tree id> ""
as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it. For example,
Users can have their own pretty format aliases since 8028184 (pretty:
