This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format
used to display help. This format will be used only if no option
like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help".
The following values are possible for this variable:
- "man" --> "man" program is used
- "info" --> "info" program is used
- "web" --> "git-browse-help" is used
By default we still show help using "man".
This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man"
to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable.
Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in
"git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config
variables in the global configuration file.

commit: allow --amend to reuse message from another commit
After tentatively applying a patch from a contributor, you can get a
replacement patch with corrected code and unusable commit log message.
In such a case, this sequence ought to give you an editor based on the
message in the earlier commit, to let you describe an incremental
improvement:
git reset --hard HEAD^ ;# discard the earlier one
git am <corrected-patch
git commit --amend -c HEAD@{1}
Unfortunately, --amend insisted reusing the message from the commit
being amended, ignoring the -c option. This corrects it.
git-svn: handle our top-level path being deleted and later re-added
Previously, git-svn would ignore cases where the path we're
tracking is removed from the repository. This was to prevent
heads with follow-parent from ending up with a tree full of
empty revisions (and thus breaking rename detection).
The previous behavior is fine until the path we're tracking
is re-added later on, leading to the old files being merged
in with the new files in the directory (because the old
files were never marked as deleted)
We will now only remove all the old files locally that were
deleted remotely iff we detect the directory we're in is being
created from scratch.
Thanks for Marcus D. Hanwell for the bug report and
Peter Baumann for the analysis.

Because we feed the changed filenames to CVS on the command
line, it was possible for massive commits to overflow the
system exec limits. Instead, we now do an xargs-like split
of the arguments.
This means that we lose some of the atomicity of calling CVS
in one shot. Since CVS commits are not atomic, but the CVS
protocol is, the possible effects of this are not clear;
however, since CVS doesn't provide a different interface,
this is our only option for large commits (short of writing
a CVS client library).
The argument size limit is arbitrarily set to 64kB. This
should be high enough to trigger only in rare cases where it
is necessary, so normal-sized commits are not affected by
the atomicity change.
For consistency, make the two tools report whitespace errors in the
same way (the output of "diff --check" has been tweaked to match
that of "git apply").
Note that although the textual content is basically the same only
"git diff --check" provides a colorized version of the problematic
lines; making "git apply" do colorization will require more extensive
changes (figuring out the diff colorization preferences of the user)
and so that will be a subject for another commit.

This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was
performed:
- the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is
extracted into a function in ws.c
- the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed
- the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also
rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c
The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things:
checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking
is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the
caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on
the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display
whitespace errors in blobs.
At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors
found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

There is no reason --exit-code and --check-diff must be mutually
exclusive, so assign different bits to different results and allow them
to be returned from the command. Introduce diff_result_code() to factor
out the common code to decide final status code based on diffopt
settings and use it everywhere.
Update tests to match the above fix.
Turning pager off when "diff --check" is used is a regression.
This implements earlier Linus's optimization to trim common lines at the
end before passing them down to low level xdiff interface for all of our
xdiff users.
We could later enhance this to also trim common leading lines, but that
would need tweaking the output function to add the number of lines
trimmed at the beginning to line numbers that appear in the hunk
headers.
This inserts a new function xdi_diff() that currently does not
do anything other than calling the underlying xdl_diff() to the
callchain of current callers of xdl_diff() function.

This invocation of run_status() is asked to find out if there is a
committable change, but it unconditionally gave instructions such as
"use git-add" at the same time. When in merge, we do allow an empty
change to be recorded, so after showing this message the code still went
ahead and made a commit.
This introduces "nowarn" parameter to run_status() to avoid these
useless messages. If we are not allowed to create an empty commit, we
already call run_status() again in the original codepath, and the
message will be shown from that call anyway.

The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed
paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible. The scripts would
never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format.
This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward
incompatible way.
* The output without -z is not changed. This has given a good way for
humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the
path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability.
* The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames.
Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all.
* The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can
easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path.
This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch. Bugs and documentation typos
are mine.
Fix clone not to ignore depth when performing a local clone
When git-clone detects that it can perform a local clone it
follows a path that silently ignores the depth parameter.

have a reason to prefer a space efficient clone of just the recent
history so bypass the local magic if the user specifies the depth
parameter.

shortlog: default to HEAD when the standard input is a tty
Instead of warning the user that it is expecting git log output from
the standard input (and waiting for the user to type the log from
the keyboard, which is a silly thing to do), default to traverse from
HEAD when there is no rev parameter given and the standard input is
a tty.
This factors out a useful helper "add_head()" from builtin-diff.c to a
more appropriate place revision.c while renaming it to more descriptive
name add_head_to_pending(), as that is what the function is about.
blame: drop blob data after passing blame to the parent
We used to keep the blob data for each origin that has any remaining
line in the result, but this will get very costly with a huge file that
has a deep history. This patch releases the blob after we ran diff
between the child rev and its parents. When passing blame from a parent
to its parent (i.e. the grandparent), the blob data for the parent may
need to be read again, but it should be relatively cheap, thanks to
delta-base cache.
When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color
support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a
tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a
tty, we must check whether it is because we started the
pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use
variable.
This variable was set only when the git program being run
started the pager; there was no way for an external program
running git indicate that it had already started a pager.
This patch allows a program to set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE to a
true value to indicate that even though stdout is not a tty,
it is because a pager is being used.

merge-recursive did not support merging trees that have conflicting
changes in submodules they contain, and died. Support it exactly the
same way as how it handles conflicting symbolic link changes --- mark it
as a conflict, take the tentative result from the current side, and
letting the caller resolve the conflict, without dying in merge_file()
function.
Also reword the error message issued when merge_file() has to die
because it sees a tree entry of type it does not support yet.

Commit 396865859918e9c7bf8ce74aae137c57da134610 broke signed tags using

arguments (but it quite possibly was broken even before that, by the
builtin rewrite).
It used to be that passing the signing ID with the -u parameter also
(obviously!) implied that you wanted to sign and annotate the tag, but
that logic got dropped. It also totally ignored the actual key ID that was
passed in.
This reinstates it all.

An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the
meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident()
function, so this corrects it.
git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a
warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be
told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to
record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to
leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information.
Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog
entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to
silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who
checked out the branch.
* git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive
int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now
signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME.
* These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue;
this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME.
* fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour
common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic
constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make
it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>".
* fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes
IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.
The old git-commit.sh script allowed the commit-msg hook to not only
prevent a commit from proceding, but also to edit the commit message
on the fly and allow it to proceed. So here we teach builtin-commit
to do the same.
This is based on Wincent's patch, but redone with a clarified logic.
At the moment the --no-verify switch to "git commit" instructs it to
skip over the pre-commit hook. Here we teach "git commit --no-verify"
to skip over the commit-msg hook as well. This brings the behaviour
of builtin-commit back in line with git-commit.sh.
