e1ccf53a60 [PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash replacement
AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (&#8212) by default. em-dash
looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when
we are talking about command options.

Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a
backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement.  This
patch does just that.

1f8af483df show-branch: --list and --independent
The --list option is what 'git branch' without parameter should
have been; it shows the one-line commit message for each branch
name.  The --independent option is used to filter out commits
that can be reachable from other commits, to make detection of
fast forward condition in multi-head merge easier.

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.

db4b65821e [PATCH] Add merge detection to git-cvsimport
Added -m and -M flags for git-cvsimport to detect merge commits in cvs.
While this trusts the commit message, in repositories where merge commits

Even if some merges from CVS are bogus or incomplete, the resulting
branches are in better state to go forward (and merge) than without any
merge detection.

fbfd60d651 [PATCH] Also handle CVS branches with a '/' in their name
I track a CVS project which has a branch with a '/' in the branch name.
Since git wants the branch name to be a file name at the same time,
substitute that character to a '-' by default (override with "-s <subst>").
This should work well, despite the fact that a division and a difference
are completely different :-)

abe0582207 [PATCH] Add -k kill keyword expansion option to git-cvsimport - revised
Early versions of git-cvsimport defaulted to using preexisting keyword
expansion settings. This change preserves compatibility with existing cvs
imports and allows new repository migrations to kill keyword expansion.

After exploration of the different -k modes in the cvs protocol, we use -kk
which kills keyword expansion wherever possible. Against the protocol
spec, -ko and -kb will sometimes expand keywords.

Should improve our chances of detecting merges and reduce imported
repository size.

The first was that it didn't handle removed files with a multi-digit

The second was that it was asking the CVS server for "F" messages,
although they were not handled.

b1bf95bba2 [PATCH] Added hook in git-receive-pack
Just before updating a ref,

    $GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname old-sha1 new-sha1

is called if executable.  The hook can decline the ref to be
updated by exiting with a non-zero status, or allow it to be
updated by exiting with a zero status.  The mechanism also
allows e.g sending of a mail with pushed commits on the remote
repository.

Documentation update with an example hook is included.

jc: The credits of the basic idea and initial implementation go
to Josef, but I ended up rewriting major parts of his patch, so
bugs are all mine.  Also I changed the semantics for the hook
from his original version (which were post-update hook) so that
the hook can optionally decline to update the ref, and also can
be used to implement the overall cleanups.  The latter was
primarily to implement a suggestion from Linus that calling
update-server-info should be made optional.

f9253394a2 [PATCH] Add git-verify-pack command.
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the
index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency.

This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache
when the --full flag is used.

During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx
file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum
stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check.
We may further want to check the pack signature and version when
we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch.

Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led
to a random fatal error later.  This version explicitly die()s
when such an error is detected.

8a498a05c3 [PATCH] Update fsck-cache (take 2)
The fsck-cache complains if objects referred to by files in .git/refs/
or objects stored in files under .git/objects/??/ are not found as
stand-alone SHA1 files (i.e.  found in alternate object pools
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES or packed archives stored under
.git/objects/pack).

Although this is a good semantics to maintain consistency of a single
.git/objects directory as a self contained set of objects, it sometimes
is useful to consider it is OK as long as these "outside" objects are
available.

This commit introduces a new flag, --standalone, to git-fsck-cache.
When it is not specified, connectivity checks and .git/refs pointer
checks are taught that it is OK when expected objects do not exist under
.git/objects/?? hierarchy but are available from an packed archive or in
an alternate object pool.

Another new flag, --full, makes git-fsck-cache to check not only the
current GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY but also objects found in alternate object
pools and packed GIT archives.a

a3437b8c26 [PATCH] Modify git-rev-list to linearise the commit history in merge order.
This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.

The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.

With this patch a graph like this:

	a4 ---
	| \   \
	|  b4 |
	|/ |  |
	a3 |  |
	|  |  |
	a2 |  |
	|  |  c3
	|  |  |
	|  |  c2
	|  b3 |
	|  | /|
	|  b2 |
	|  |  c1
	|  | /
	|  b1
	a1 |
	|  |
	a0 |
	| /
	root

Sorts like this:

	= a4
	| c3
	| c2
	| c1
	^ b4
	| b3
	| b2
	| b1
	^ a3
	| a2
	| a1
	| a0
	= root

Instead of this:

	= a4
	| c3
	^ b4
	| a3
	^ c2
	^ b3
	^ a2
	^ b2
	^ c1
	^ a1
	^ b1
	^ a0
	= root

A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:

	cd t
	./t6000-rev-list.sh
	cd trash
	cat actual-default-order
	cat actual-merge-order

The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.

This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.

This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8d.

This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)

This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

For more details about this change, refer to Documentation/git-rev-list.txt
and http://blackcubes.dyndns.org/epoch/.

a48e1d67e1 [PATCH] pull: gracefully recover from delta retrieval failure.
This addresses a concern raised by Jason McMullan in the mailing
list discussion.  After retrieving and storing a potentially
deltified object, pull logic tries to check and fulfil its delta
dependency.  When the pull procedure is killed at this point,
however, there was no easy way to recover by re-running pull,
since next run would have found that we already have that
deltified object and happily reported success, without really
checking its delta dependency is satisfied.

This patch introduces --recover option to git-*-pull family
which causes them to re-validate dependency of deltified objects
we are fetching.  A new test t5100-delta-pull.sh covers such a
failure mode.

this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by
the diff-* brothers.  While we are at it, the call it makes to
diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody
else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines
are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between

4a62b61939 [PATCH] Handle deltified object correctly in git-*-pull family.
When a remote repository is deltified, we need to get the
objects that a deltified object we want to obtain is based upon.
The initial parts of each retrieved SHA1 file is inflated and
inspected to see if it is deltified, and its base object is
asked from the remote side when it is.  Since this partial
inflation and inspection has a small performance hit, it can
optionally be skipped by giving -d flag to git-*-pull commands.
This flag should be used only when the remote repository is
known to have no deltified objects.

Rsync transport does not have this problem since it fetches
everything the remote side has.

f345b0a066 [PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.

When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation.  This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.

The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.

As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used.  For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:

    The original change looks like this:

	file0     --> file0' (quite different from file0)
	file1     --> /dev/null

    After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:

	file0     --> /dev/null
	/dev/null --> file0'
	file1     --> /dev/null

    Then diffcore-rename matches them up:

	file1     --> file0'

The internal score values are finer grained now.  Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

ddafa7e933 [PATCH] diff-helper: Fix R/C score parsing under -z flag.
The score number that follow R/C status were parsed but the
parse pointer was not updated, causing the entire line to become
unrecognized.  This patch fixes this problem.

There was a test missing to catch this breakage, which this
commit adds as t4009-diff-rename-4.sh.  The diff-raw tests used
in related t4005-diff-rename-2.sh (the same test without -z) and
t4007-rename-3.sh were stricter than necessarily, despite that
the comment for the tests said otherwise.  This patch also
corrects them.

The documentation is updated to say that the status can
optionally be followed by a number called "score"; it does not
have to stay similarity index forever and there is no reason to
limit it only to C and R.

6af1f0192f [PATCH] Rewrite ls-tree to behave more like "/bin/ls -a"
This is a complete rewrite of ls-tree to make it behave more
like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory.

Namely, the changes are:

 - Unlike the old ls-tree behaviour that used paths arguments to
   restrict output (not that it worked as intended---as pointed
   out in the mailing list discussion, it was quite incoherent),
   this rewrite uses paths arguments to specify what to show.

 - Without arguments, it implicitly uses the root level as its
   sole argument ("/bin/ls -a" behaves as if "." is given
   without argument).

 - Without -r (recursive) flag, it shows the named blob (either
   file or symlink), or the named tree and its immediate
   children.

 - With -r flag, it shows the named path, and recursively
   descends into it if it is a tree.

 - With -d flag, it shows the named path and does not show its
   children even if the path is a tree, nor descends into it
   recursively.

This is still request-for-comments patch.  There is no mailing
list consensus that this proposed new behaviour is a good one.

The patch to t/t3100-ls-tree-restrict.sh illustrates
user-visible behaviour changes.  Namely:

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path1 path0" lists path1 first and then
   path0.  It used to use paths as an output restrictor and
   showed output in cache entry order (i.e. path0 first and then
   path1) regardless of the order of paths arguments.

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path2" lists path2 and its immediate
   children but having explicit paths argument does not imply
   recursive behaviour anymore, hence paths/baz is shown but not
   paths/baz/b.

Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence.  All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.

The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary.  The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.

52e9578985 [PATCH] Introducing software archaeologist's tool "pickaxe".
This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer.  From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.

Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other.  For example:

 $ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M

would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".

In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.

The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

427dcb4bca [PATCH] Diff overhaul, adding half of copy detection.
This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine.  The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change.  The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.

The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility.  When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.

This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies.  Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates.  Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.

Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

This cleans up the way calls are made into the diff core from diff-tree
family and diff-helper.  Earlier, these programs had "if
(generating_patch)" sprinkled all over the place, but those ugliness are
gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating
patch format.

This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R
(reverse) option to generate diff in reverse.  Users of
diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there.

[ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit
  diff" doesn't have another tree to switch around: the other
  tree is always the parent(s) of the commit ]

Also -M<digits-as-mantissa> suggestion made by Linus has been

5c97558c9a [PATCH] Detect renames in diff family.
This rips out the rename detection engine from diff-helper and moves it
to the diff core, and updates the internal calling convention used by
diff-tree family into the diff core.  In order to give the same option
name to diff-tree family as well as to diff-helper, I've changed the
earlier diff-helper '-r' option to '-M' (stands for Move; sorry but the
natural abbreviation 'r' for 'rename' is already taken for 'recursive').

Although I did a fair amount of test with the git-diff-tree with
existing rename commits in the core GIT repository, this should still be
considered beta (preview) release.  This patch depends on the diff-delta
infrastructure just committed.

This implements almost everything I wanted to see in this series of

core, but that will be a separate cleanup patch.

d19938ab60 Rename environment variables.
H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an
environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use
names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts.  Here is
what this patch does:

 * Renames the following environment variables:

    New name                           Old Name

    GIT_AUTHOR_DATE                    AUTHOR_DATE
    GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL                   AUTHOR_EMAIL
    GIT_AUTHOR_NAME                    AUTHOR_NAME
    GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL                COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
    GIT_COMMITTER_NAME                 COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME
    GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES   SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES
    GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY               SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY

 * Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an
   getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn
   picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about
   using an old name.

 * Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch
   environment variable with the new name using gitenv().

 * Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT
   distribution.

The transition plan is as follows:

 * We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv()
   for now, so the current scripts and user environments
   continue to work as before.  The users will get warnings when
   they have old name but not new name in their environment to
   the stderr.

 * The Porcelain layers should start using new names.  However,
   just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer
   implementation, they should also export old names, taking
   values from the corresponding new names, during the
   transition period.

 * After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility
   support and drop gitenv().  Revert the callers to directly
   call getenv() but keep using the new names.

   The last part is probably optional and the transition
   duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.
