If there is a GCA for the parents of the merge, then a file is
interesting if some parent has a version that is different from both
the child and the GCA. If there is no GCA (e.g. for a merge that
pulls in an external project) then a file is interesting if the child's
version is different from all of the parents.
Next step is to actually show the differences for the interesting
files...
This should make sure that if you have multiple people pushing to the
same tree, they cannot overwrite each others work, but have to merge
before being able to update the common reference tree.
We display the files where the child differs from the first parent
first in black in the file list window, followed by the second parent
in blue, and so on using different colors for each parent (provided
you don't have more than 6 parents; if you do we cycle around).
We now kick off a single git-diff-tree -r --stdin and feed it all
the commit pairs we want to know about, instead of doing a separate
git-diff-tree invocation for each.
We were trying to fetch using the merge-head name rather than the
merge-head SHA1 that we just got.
Now, http:// is broken anyway right now for packing, but this should
make it work for nonpacked repositories again.
Thanks to Ryan Anderson for setting me up to do this. I'd have used his
work, but I wanted to clean up the old git-tools repository before
merging it: it had old-style file modes etc that needed a round of
git-convert-cache to fix up.
Rename into a "tools" subdirectory, and change name of "dotest" to "applymbox".
Remove stripspace (which was already copied into git) and cvs2git (which
was likewise already copied into git, and then replaced by a much better
perl version).
All of this was brought on by Ryan Anderson shaming me into it. Thanks.
I guess.
git-fsck-cache complains about some of the odder ones, and is quiet
about the old (S_IFREG | 664) case, but that's wrong too.
Converting the kernel tree is too painful right now, but at least we
know how to do it if we ever want to.

Since pull and fetch are done often against the same remote
repository repeatedly, keeping the URL to pull from along with
the name of the head to use in $GIT_DIR/branches/$name makes a
lot of sense. Adopt that convention from Cogito, and try to be
compatible when possible; storing a partial URL and completing
it with a trailing path may not be understood by Cogito.
While we are at it, fix pulling a tag. Earlier, we updated only
refs/tags/$tag without updating FETCH_HEAD, and called
resolve-script using a stale (or absent) FETCH_HEAD.

"Files" matches the find string against each of the files modified
by each commit, and can do exact, case-ignoring or regexp matching.
"Pickaxe" uses git-diff-tree -S'string' and can only do exact
matching. I called it "pickaxe" rather than "find within patch"
since it only finds commits where the string is present in the child
but not the parents or vice versa, and "pickaxe" is what the author
of that feature calls it.
Shut down connections that haven't even identified themselves as git

This is using a lockless approach that allows us to handle children
dying without having to block SIGCHLD.
Right now our "solution" to too many kids is pretty damn rough, but it
at least shows what you can do.
Now, not all projects can be as refined as Linux. Before the final 1.0
release, we went through fifteen 0.99 patchfiles, and pl14 alone went
through subreleases 'a' through 'z'. Now _that_ is a release process.
Not to mention the odd-ball releases, like 0.96c+
Sadly, in this day and age of RPM's etc, we have silly limitations, and
I cannot call this release '0.99pl5a or some such awe-inspiring name
just because "rpmbuild" is such a party pooper. So it's just 0.99.1.
Oh well. Aspiring to such greatness as the Linux release numbering is
hubris anyway. You can attain such perfection only once in your life.

Alexey Nezhdanov sent a patch that made git-daemon usable from inetd (ie
where inetd has already done the accept on the new connection, the fork,
and the setup of stdin/stdout). I wanted to organize the thing slightly
differently, though.
This removes the separate "formats" for name and name-with-zero-
termination.
It also removes the difference between HUMAN and MACHINE formats, and
they both become DIFF_FORMAT_RAW, with the difference being just in the
line and inter-filename termination.
It also makes the code easier to understand.
... and make git-diff-files use it too. This all _should_ make the
diffcore-pathspec.c phase unnecessary, since the diff'ers now all do the
path matching early interally.
The reason I say "start using" is that we really should also limit the
index checking by name - now we limit the tree object accesses by name,
but we still check the whole index.
Still, this should help.
The symlink case had never worked, and the file case was broken by the
O_EXCL change because the error return changed from EISDIR to EEXIST.
Fix both problems by just moving the test for an existing directory to a
more logical place.
