default pull: forget about "newbie protection" for now.
This will not be backward compatible no matter how you cut it.
Shelve it for now until somebody comes up with a better way to
determine when we can safely refuse to use the first set of
branchse for merging without upsetting valid workflows.
merge and reset: adjust for "reset --hard" messages
An earlier commit made "reset --hard" chattier but leaking its
message from "git rebase" (which calls it when first rewinding
the current branch to prepare replaying our own changes) without
explanation was confusing, so add an extra message to mention
it. Inside restorestate in merge (which is rarely exercised
codepath, where more than one strategies are attempted),
resetting to the original state uses "reset --hard" -- this can
be squelched entirely.
Like the existing error() function the new warn() function can be
used to describe a situation that probably should not be occuring,
but which the user (and Git) can continue to work around without
running into too many problems.
An example situation is a bad commit SHA1 found in a reflog.
Attempting to read this record out of the reflog isn't really an
error as we have skipped over it in the past.

Because I am about to introduce a global warn() function (much
like the global error function) this global declaration would
conflict with the one supplied by imap-send. Further since
imap-send's warn function output depends on its Quiet setting
we cannot simply remove its internal definition and use the
forthcoming global one.
So refactor warn() -> imap_warn() and info() -> imap_info()
(the latter was done just to be consistent in naming).

parse-remote: mark all refs not for merge only when fetching more than one
An earlier commit a71fb0a1 implemented much requested safety
valve to refuse "git pull" or "git pull origin" without explicit
refspecs from using the first set of remote refs obtained by
reading .git/remotes/origin file or branch.*.fetch configuration
variables to create a merge. The argument was that while on a
branch different from the default branch, it is often wrong to
merge the default remote ref suitable for merging into the master.
That is fine as a theory. But many repositories already in use
by people in the real world do not have any of the per branch
configuration crap. They did not need it, and they do not need
it now. Merging with the first remote ref listed was just fine,
because they had only one ref (e.g. 'master' from linux-2.6.git)
anyway.
So this changes the safety valve to be a lot looser. When "git
fetch" gets only one remote branch, the irritating warning would
not trigger anymore.
I think we could also make the warning trigger when branch.*.merge
is not specified for the current branch, but is for some other
branch. That is for another commit.
The logic to decide when to refuse to use the default "first set of
refs fetched" for merge was utterly bogus.
In a repository that happily worked correctly without any of the
per-branch configuration crap did not have (and did not have to
have) any branch.<current>.merge. With that broken commit, pulling
from origin no longer would work.
Now that we have decided to make 'add' behave like 'update-index'
(and therefore fully classify update-index as strictly plumbing)
the am/revert/cherry-pick family of commands should not steer the
user towards update-index. Instead send them to the command they
probably already know, 'add'.

I just twisted it not to check fast-forwardness with the current
branch when you are removing a tracking branch. Most likely,
removal of a tracking branch is not because you are "done with"
it (for a local branch, it usually means "you merged it up"),
but because you are not even interested in it. In other words,
remote tracking branches are more like tags than branches.

gitweb: Show target of symbolic link in "tree" view
gitweb: Don't use Content-Encoding: header in git_snapshot
git-fetch: Avoid reading packed refs over and over again
When checking which tags to fetch, the old code used to call
git-show-ref --verify for each remote tag. Since reading even
packed refs is not a cheap operation when there are a lot of
local refs, the code became quite slow.
This fixes it by teaching git-show-ref to filter out existing
refs using a new mode of operation of git-show-ref.
When using symmetric differences, I think the user almost always
would want to know which side of the symmetry each commit came
from. So this removes --left-right option from the command
line, and turns it on automatically when a symmetric difference
is used ("git log --merge" counts as a symmetric difference
between HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).
Just in case, a new option --no-left-right is provided to defeat
this, but I do not know if it would be useful.
The output from "symmetric diff", i.e. A...B, does not
distinguish between commits that are reachable from A and the
ones that are reachable from B. In this picture, such a
symmetric diff includes commits marked with a and b.
x---b---b branch B
/ \ /
/ .
/ / \
o---x---a---a branch A
However, you cannot tell which ones are 'a' and which ones are
'b' from the output. Sometimes this is frustrating. This adds
an output option, --left-right, to rev-list.
rev-list --left-right A...B
would show ones reachable from A prefixed with '<' and the ones
reachable from B prefixed with '>'.
When combined with --boundary, boundary commits (the ones marked
with 'x' in the above picture) are shown with prefix '-', so you
would see list that looks like this:
Default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME to login name in recieve-pack.
If GIT_COMMITTER_NAME is not available in receive-pack but reflogs
are enabled we would normally die out with an error message asking
the user to correct their environment settings.
Now that reflogs are enabled by default in (what we guessed to be)
non-bare Git repositories this may cause problems for some users
who don't have their full name in the gecos field and who don't
have access to the remote system to correct the problem.
So rather than die()'ing out in receive-pack when we try to log a
ref change and have no committer name we default to the username,
as obtained from the host's password database.

When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a
file A/B in it in the index, 'update-index --replace --add A/B'
did not properly remove the file to make room for the new
directory.
There was a trivial logic error, most likely a cut & paste one,
dating back to quite early days of git.
When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a
file A/B in it in the index, 'git add' did not succeed because
it forgot to pass the allow-replace flag to add_cache_entry().
It might be safer to leave this as an error and require the user
to explicitly remove the existing A first before adding A/B
since it is an unusual case, but doing that automatically is
much easier to use.
update-index: make D/F conflict error a bit more verbose.
When you remove a directory D that has a tracked file D/F out of the
way to create a file D and try to "git update-index --add D", it used
to say "cannot add" which was not very helpful. This issues an extra
error message to explain the situation before the final "fatal" message.
Since D/F conflicts are relatively rare event, extra verbosity would
not make things too noisy.
git-clone: lose the traditional 'no-separate-remote' layout
Finally.
The separate-remote layout is so much more organized than
traditional and easier to work with especially when you need to
deal with remote repositories with multiple branches and/or you
need to deal with more than one remote repositories, and using
traditional layout for new repositories simply does not make
much sense.
Internally we still have code for 1:1 mappings to create a bare
clone; that is a good thing and will not go away.
git-clone: lose the artificial "first" fetch refspec
Now we lost the "first refspec is the one that is merged by default"
rule, there is no reason for clone to list the remote primary branch
in the config file explicitly anymore.
We still need it for the traditional layout for other reasons,
though.
git-pull: refuse default merge without branch.*.merge
Everybody hated the pull behaviour of merging the first branch
listed on remotes/* file (or remote.*.fetch config) into the
current branch. This finally corrects that UI wart by
forbidding "git pull" without an explicit branch name on the
command line or branch.$current.merge for the current branch.
The matching change to git-clone was made to prepare the default
branch.*.merge entry for the primary branch some time ago.
git-clone: use wildcard specification for tracking branches
This stops enumerating the set of branches found on the remote
side when a clone was made in the configuration file. Instead,
a single entry that maps each remote branch to the local
tracking branch for the remote under the same name is created.
Doing it this way not only shortens the configuration file, but
automatically adjusts to a new branch added on the remote side
after the clone is made.
Unfortunately this cannot be done for the traditional layout,
where we always need to special case the 'master' to 'origin'
mapping within the local branch namespace. But that is Ok; it
will be going away before v1.5.0.
We could also lose the "primary branch" mapping at the
beginning, but that has to wait until we implement the "forbid
'git pull' when we do not have branch.$current.merge for the
current branch" policy we earlier discussed. That should also
be in v1.5.0
Add a kind of "next" view in the bottom part of navigation bar for
"commit" view, similar to what was added for "commitdiff" view in

'gitweb: Add "next" link to commitdiff view'

Align section headers of 'git status' to new 'git add'.
Now that 'git add' is considered a first-class UI for 'update-index'
and that the 'git add' documentation states "Even modified files
must be added to the set of changes about to be committed" we should
make the output of 'git status' align with that documentation and
common usage.
So now we see a status output such as:
# Added but not yet committed:
# (will commit)
#
# new file: x
#
# Changed but not added:
# (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit)
#
# modified: x
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add" on files to include for commit)
#
# y
which just reads better in the context of using 'git add' to
manipulate a commit (and not a checkin, whatever the heck that is).
We also now support 'color.status.added' as an alias for the existing
'color.status.updated', as this alias more closely aligns with the

are probably coming from another SCM-like tool which would perform
the same as 'git commit -a' in this case. Showing the user their
current status and a final line of "nothing to commit" is not very
reassuring, as the user might believe that Git did not recognize
their files were modified.
Instead we can suggest as part of the 'nothing to commit' message
that the user invoke 'git add' to add files to their next commit.

Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory.
New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).
So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:
[core]
logAllRefUpdates = false
in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.
We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.
Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are
likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing
they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects'
lost+found features.

Provide more meaningful output from 'git init-db'.
Back in the old days of Git when people messed around with their
GIT_DIR environment variable more often it was nice to know whether
or not git-init-db created a .git directory or used GIT_DIR.
As most users at that time were rather technical UNIXy folk the
message "defaulting to local storage area" made sense to some and
seemed reasonable.
But it doesn't really convey any meaning to the new Git user,
as they don't know what a 'local storage area is' nor do they
know enough about Git to care. It also really doesn't tell the
experienced Git user a whole lot about the command they just ran,
especially if they might be reinitializing an existing repository
(e.g. to update hooks).
So now we print out what we did ("Initialized empty" or
"Reinitialized existing"), what type of repository ("" or "shared"),
and what location the repository will be in ("$GIT_DIR").

Avoid accessing a slow working copy during diffcore operations.
The Cygwin folks have done a fine job at creating a POSIX layer
on Windows That Just Works(tm). However it comes with a penalty;
accessing files in the working tree by way of stat/open/mmap can
be slower for diffcore than inflating the data from a blob which
is stored in a packfile.
This performance problem is especially an issue in merge-recursive
when dealing with nearly 7000 added files, as we are loading
each file's content from the working directory to perform rename
detection. I have literally seen (and sadly watched) paint dry in
less time than it takes for merge-recursive to finish such a merge.
On the other hand this very same merge runs very fast on Solaris.
If Git is compiled with NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY set then we will
avoid looking at the working directory when the blob in question
is available within a packfile and the caller doesn't need the data
unpacked into a temporary file.
We don't use loose objects as they have the same open/mmap/close
costs as the working directory file access, but have the additional
CPU overhead of needing to inflate the content before use. So it
is still faster to use the working tree file over the loose object.
If the caller needs the file data unpacked into a temporary file
its likely because they are going to call an external diff program,
passing the file as a parameter. In this case reusing the working
tree file will be faster as we don't need to inflate the data and
write it out to a temporary file.
The NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY feature is enabled by default on
Cygwin, as that is the platform which currently appears to benefit
the most from this option.
