d8b6a1a10b cvsserver: Don't lie about binary mode in asciidoc documentation
The git-cvsserver documentation claims that the server will set
-k modes if appropriate which is not really the case. On the other
hand the available gitcvs.allbinary variable is not documented at
all. Fix both these issues by rewording the related paragraph.

c2c6d9302a Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt: fix example in SPECIFYING RANGES.
Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795:

 In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice.
 The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to
 A.

 However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the
 manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C!  I.e.,
 he inverts the tree.

 And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is
 not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).

a17c410100 Bisect: implement "git bisect run <cmd>..." to automatically bisect.
This idea was suggested by Bill Lear
(Message-ID: <17920.38942.364466.642979@lisa.zopyra.com>)
and I think it is a very good one.

This patch adds a new test file for "git bisect run", but there
is currently only one basic test.

18bdec1118 Limit the size of the new delta_base_cache
The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas.  This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.

We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal.  Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.

On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.

We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache.  These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

81b6c950de user-manual: introduce "branch" and "branch head" differently
I was using "branch" to mean "head", but that's perhaps a little
sloppy; so instead start by using the terms "branch head" and "head",
while still quickly falling back on "branch", since that's what
people actually say more frequently.

Also include glossary references on the first uses of "head" and "tag".

f562e6f316 glossary: stop generating automatically
The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates,
and automatically adds cross-references.

But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic
cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last
time and check in its output.

Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted
the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel
free to object and I can find a different solution.

0a3985dcfb user-manual: run xsltproc without --nonet option
The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find
anything.  But it always tries to find them locally first, so for a
user with the necessary docbook stylesheets installed the build will
work just fine without xsltproc attempting to use the network; all
--nonet does is make it fail rather than falling back on that.  That
doesn't seem particularly helpful.

9debc3241b git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like

        [remote "local"]
                url = .
                fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names.  The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.

To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'.  In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations.  In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.

The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created.  Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.
