81e50eabf0 [PATCH] The diff-raw format updates.
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.

Updated are both documentations and tests.

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.

57fe64a40d [PATCH] diff overhaul
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
implemented.

Documentation updates are also included.

7984eabe07 [PATCH] manpage name conflict
This moves the git manpage to man7, since "git" isn't a direct command
per se.  It also does two other things:

    * Sort of works around the asciidoc 6.0.3 bug where the manpages all
      get called "git.1".  It just renames them to what they should have
      been called.

    * Fixes a cut-n-paste bug in git-diff-helper.txt that was making
      asciidoc choke.

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
patch, except a few minor cleanups in the calling convention into diff
core, but that will be a separate cleanup patch.

915838c3cb [PATCH] Diff-helper update
This patch adds a framework and a stub implementation of rename
detection to diff-helper program.

The current stub code is just enough to detect pure renames in
diff-tree output and not fancier.  The plan is perhaps to use
the same delta code when Nico's delta storage patch is merged
for similarity evaluation purposes.

When checkout-cache attempts to check out a non-directory where
a directory exists on the work tree, or to check out a file
under directory D when path D is a non-directory on the work
tree, the attempt fails.  Before running checkout-cache, the
user can run git-ls-files with the -k (killed) option to get a
list of such paths.  The tagged output format uses "K" to denote
them.  This is useful for Porcelain layer to be careful when
dealing with the recently corrected behaviour of checkout-cache.

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.
