Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.
When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.
Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like
This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.
So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored. Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.
Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works. Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.

The hints in the current "instruction sheet" template look like so:
# Rebase 3f14246..a1d7e01 onto 3f14246
#
# Commands:
# p, pick = use commit
# r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
# x <cmd>, exec <cmd> = Run a shell command <cmd>, and stop if it fails
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#
This does not make it clear that the format of each line is
<insn> <commit id> <explanatory text that will be printed>
but the reader will probably infer that from the automatically
generated pick examples above it.
What about the "exec" instruction? By analogy, I might imagine that
the format of that line is "exec <command> <explanatory text>", and
the "x <cmd>" hint does not address that question (at first I read it
as taking an argument <cmd> that is the name of a shell). Meanwhile,
the mention of <cmd> makes the hints harder to scan as a table.
So remove the <cmd> and add some words to remind the reader that
"exec" runs a command named by the rest of the line. To make room, it
is left to the manpage to explain that that command is run using
$SHELL and that nonzero status from that command will pause the
rebase.
Wording from Junio.

These variables should generally not be set in one's
environment, but they do get set by rebase, which means
doing an interactive rebase like:
pick abcd1234 foo
exec make test
will cause false negatives in the test suite.

Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty
subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the
general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories.
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include
an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit:
M 040000 4b825dc642 subdir
One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree
corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a
subtree. It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree
--prefix' to treat such commands as requests to remove the subtree.

When you give a non-existent branch to git-rebase, it spits
out the usage. This can be confusing, since you may
understand the usage just fine, but simply have made a
mistake in the branch name.
Before:
$ git rebase origin bogus
Usage: git rebase ...
After:
$ git rebase origin bogus
fatal: no such branch: bogus
Usage: git rebase ...

In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:
1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
current branch instead of producing an error.
2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
explicit "--" is better:
# before
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Could not checkout bogus
# after
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
fatal: invalid reference: bogus
Could not checkout bogus
The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

This was added long ago as part of the userdiff refactoring
for textconv, as internally it made the code simpler and
cleaner. However, there was never a concrete use case for
actually using the config variable.
Now that Matthieu Moy has provided such a use case, it's

The function resolve_relative_url was not prepared to deal with an
scp-style origin 'user@host:path' in the case where 'path' is only a
single component. Fix this by extending the logic that strips one
path component from the $remoteurl.
Also add tests for both styles of URLs.

The documentation for the post-rewrite hook contains a paragraph from
its early development, where the automatic notes copying facilities
were not part of the series and thus this had to be a hook. Later
versions of the series implemented notes copying as a core feature.
Thus mentioning post-rewrite-copy-notes was never correct. As the
other hooks do not have a "there is no default hook, but..." sentence
unless they ship a sample hook in either templates or contrib, we
simply remove the whole paragraph.

POSIX awk seems to explicitly not support hexadecimal escape sequences.
From http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/:
Regular expressions in awk have been extended somewhat...
One sequence that is not supported is hexadecimal value escapes
beginning with '\x'.
This affects the awk on IRIX 6.5, and causes t4015.56 to fail.
Use octal instead.

Unlike bash and ksh, dash passes through hexadecimal \xcc escapes.
So when run with dash, these tests *pass* (since '\xcc' is a perfectly

Use octal escapes instead, in the spirit of v1.6.1-rc1~55^2

Some shells, for example dash versions older than 0.5.4, need to
spell a variable reference as '$N' rather than 'N' in an arithmetic
expansion. In order to avoid the syntax error, we change the
offending variable reference from 'i' to '$i' in function scramble.
