The blame builtin now supports automatic conversion of
metadata encoding. By default it is converted to the
character set specified by i18n.logoutputencoding.
Since gui blame expects the data in utf-8, it is
necessary to specify the desired encoding directly.
An old version of the blame command will simply
ignore the option.

receive-pack: detect push to current branch of non-bare repo
Pushing into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare
repository can be dangerous; the HEAD then loses sync with
the index and working tree, and it looks in the receiving
repo as if the pushed changes have been reverted in the
index (since they were never there in the first place).
This patch adds a safety valve that checks for this
condition and either generates a warning or denies the
update. We trigger the check only on a non-bare repository,
since a bare repo does not have a working tree (and in fact,
pushing to the HEAD branch is a common workflow for
publishing repositories).
The behavior is configurable via receive.denyCurrentBranch,
defaulting to "warn" so as not to break existing setups
(though it may, after a deprecation period, switch to
"refuse" by default). For users who know what they are doing
and want to silence the warning (e.g., because they have a
post-receive hook that reconciles the HEAD and working
tree), they can turn off the warning by setting it to false
or "ignore".

t5516 sets up some utility functions for starting each test
with a clean slate. However, there were a few tests added
that do not use these functions, but instead make their own
repositories.
Let's bring these in line with the rest of the tests. Not
only do we reduce the number of lines, but these tests will
benefit from any further enhancements to the utility
scripts.
The conversion is pretty straightforward. Most of the tests
created a parent/child clone relationship, for which we now
use 'testrepo' as the parent. One test looked in testrepo,
but relied on previous tests to have set it up; it now sets
up testrepo explicitly, which makes it a bit more robust to
changes in the script, as well.

ModPerl::Registry precompiles scripts by wrapping them
in a subroutine. This causes ordinary subroutines of the
script to become nested, and warnings appear:
gitweb.cgi: Variable "$path_info" will not stay shared
This warning means that $path_info was declared as 'my',
and thus according to the perl evaluation rules all nested
subroutines will retain a reference to the instance of the
variable used in the first invocation of the master script.
When the script (i.e. the master meta-subroutine) is executed
the second time, it will use a new instance, so the logic
breaks. To avoid this it is necessary to declare all global
variables as 'our', which places them at the package level.

SVN itself always stores log messages in the repository as
UTF-8. git always stores/retrieves everything as raw binary
data with no transformations whatsoever.
To interact with SVN, we need to encode log messages as UTF-8
before sending them to SVN, as SVN cannot do it for us. When
retrieving log messages from SVN, we also need to (attempt to)
reencode the UTF-8 log message back to the user-specified commit
encoding.
Note, handling i18n.logoutputencoding for "git svn log" also
needs to be done in a future change.
Also, this change only deals with the encoding of commit
messages and nothing else (path names, blob content, ...).

This modifies gettreediffline so that it when we get both a "U" line

we don't add the same filename to the treediff list twice.
This also makes getblobdiffline recognize the "* Unmerged path ..."
lines we get when we ask for the actual diffs, and makes a tiny
optimization in makediffhdr.
With this, you can simplify history not by the contents of the tree, but
whether a commit has been named (ie it's referred to by some branch or
tag) or not.
This makes it possible to see the relationship between different named
commits, without actually seeing any of the details.

the commits that change the contents of the tree plus commits that are
named.

we sometimes want to see _how_ we reached a particular commit.
We can abuse the '->util' field in the commit to keep track of that as
we walk the commit lists, and get a reasonably useful view into which
branch or tag first reaches that commit.
Of course, if the commit is reachable through multiple sources (which is
common), our particular choice of "first" reachable is entirely random

gitk: Make "show origin of this line" work on fake commits
This makes the "Show origin of this line" menu item work correctly
on the fake commits that gitk shows for local uncommitted changes.
With the fake commit for changes that aren't checked in to the index,
we can actually get a 3-way diff shown, which means we might have to
blame either the parent or the commit being merged in (which we get
from .git/MERGE_HEAD).
If the parent is the fake commit which shows the changes that have
been checked in to the index, then we need to get the SHA1 of the blob
for the version of the file that is in the index, then use git cat-file
blob to get the contents of the blob, and give that to git blame with --contents - so that git blame will do the blame on the index version
of the file. In that case, we might get the all-zeroes SHA1 back from
git blame, meaning that the line is new in the index version of the
file, so then we have to use $nullid2 (the pseudo-SHA1 of the fake
commit for the checked-in changes).

We parse requests for $project/snapshot/$head.$sfx as equivalent to

(although not necessarily supported) snapshot formats (or its default
suffix).
The filename for the resulting package preserves the requested
extensions (so asking for a .tgz gives a .tgz, and asking for a .tar.gz
gives a .tar.gz), although for obvious reasons it doesn't preserve the
basename (git/snapshot/next.tgz returns a file names git-next.tgz).
This introduces a potential case for ambiguity if a project has a head
that ends with a snapshot-like suffix (.zip, .tgz, .tar.gz, etc) and the
sf CGI parameter is not present; however, gitweb only produces URLs with
the sf parameter currently, so this is only a potential issue for
hand-coded URLs for extremely unusual project.

close another possibility for propagating pack corruption
Abstract
--------
With index v2 we have a per object CRC to allow quick and safe reuse of
pack data when repacking. This, however, doesn't currently prevent a
stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_
reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included
here.
The Context
-----------
The Git database is all checksummed with SHA1 hashes. Any kind of
corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against
corresponding data. However this can be costly to perform systematically
and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when
accessing the object database.
First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which
already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data. Any
disk corruption would be caught already in this case.
Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their
actual payload. The object headers and delta base references are not
deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them
vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions. Object types
are often validated against the expected type when they're requested,
and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header,
so those cases are pretty much covered as well.
Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference.
Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the odds for a SHA1 reference to
get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the
same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object
to apply against) are virtually zero. In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the
reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary
of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this
is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the
probability is also about zero in absolute terms. Still, the possibility
exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1
collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default
when repacking.
Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object
CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302
failed to test is a full repack in such case.
The Solution
------------
As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it
certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack.
But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost
associated with extra validation checks all the time either. Furthermore,
consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather
visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less
severe consequences than actively creating bad packs.
So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking
objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and
only when not streaming the result. The cost of this is minimal (less
than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack.
Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of
this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data
corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check
is not performed. Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for
corruption when recreating object data into a new pack.
What about the streamed pack case? Well, any client receiving a pack
must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation
anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote
repositoryes already. It is therefore worthless doing local validation
in that case.

two-way diffs. This means that it can also correctly display the
3-way diff of the local changes when the git repository is in the
middle of a merge with conflicts.
This also removes getmergediffline and changes mergediff to invoke
getblobdiffline rather than getmergediffline.
Stop using compat/regex.c on platforms with working regexp library
We used to have non-POSIX comformant BRE in our code, and linked with GNU
regexp library on a few platforms (Darwin, FreeBSD and AIX) to work it
around. This was backwards.
We've fixed the broken regexps to use ERE that native regexp libraries on
these platforms can handle just fine. There is no need to link with GNU
regexp library on these platforms anymore.

connect.c: add a way for git-daemon to pass an error back to client
The current behavior of git-daemon is to simply close the connection on
any error condition. This leaves the client without any information as
to the cause of the failed fetch/push/etc.
This patch allows get_remote_heads to accept a line prefixed with "ERR"
that it can display to the user in an informative fashion. Once clients
can understand this ERR line, git-daemon can be made to properly report
"repository not found", "permission denied", or other errors.
Example
S: ERR No matching repository.
C: fatal: remote error: No matching repository.

Occasionally, it may be useful to prevent branches from getting deleted from
a centralized repository, particularly when no administrative access to the
server is available to undo it via reflog. It also makes
receive.denyNonFastForwards more useful if it is used for access control
since it prevents force-updating by deleting and re-creating a ref.

add instructions on how to send patches to the mailing list with Gmail
Gmail is one of the most popular email providers in the world. Now that Gmail
supports IMAP, sending properly formatted patches via `git imap-send` is
trivial. This section in SubmittingPatches explains how to do so.
