Clarify the ownership rule for commit->buffer field, which some
callers incorrectly accessed without making sure it is populated.
* jk/read-commit-buffer-data-after-free:
logmsg_reencode: lazily load missing commit buffers
logmsg_reencode: never return NULL
commit: drop useless xstrdup of commit message
Forbid "git add -u" and "git add -A" without pathspec run from a
subdirectory, to train people to type "." (or ":/") to make the
choice of default does not matter.
* mm/add-u-A-sans-pathspec:
add: warn when -u or -A is used without pathspec
Improve error and advice messages given locally when "git push"
refuses when it cannot compute fast-forwardness by separating these
cases from the normal "not a fast-forward; merge first and push
again" case.
* jc/push-reject-reasons:
push: finishing touches to explain REJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS better
push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
push: further simplify the logic to assign rejection reason
push: further clean up fields of "struct ref"
Configuration parsing for tar.* configuration variables were
broken. Introduce a new config-keyname parser API to make the
callers much less error prone.
* jk/config-parsing-cleanup:
reflog: use parse_config_key in config callback
help: use parse_config_key for man config
submodule: simplify memory handling in config parsing
submodule: use parse_config_key when parsing config
userdiff: drop parse_driver function
convert some config callbacks to parse_config_key
archive-tar: use parse_config_key when parsing config

Allow a configuration variable core.commentchar to customize the
character used to comment out the hint lines in the edited text from
the default '#'.
* jc/custom-comment-char:
Allow custom "comment char"
Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while
being on a detached HEAD, errored out.

branch: no detached HEAD check when editing another branch's description
Help "fetch only" repositories that do not trigger "gc --auto"
often enough.
* jk/gc-auto-after-fetch:
fetch-pack: avoid repeatedly re-scanning pack directory
fetch: run gc --auto after fetching
With small updates to remove dependency on newer features of
Python, keep git-p4 usable with older Python.
* bc/git-p4-for-python-2.4:

git-p4.py: support Python 2.4
git-p4.py: support Python 2.5
We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from
/etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug
lost the "user@" part. This is to fix it.
* jn/do-not-drop-username-when-reading-from-etc-mailname:
ident: do not drop username when reading from /etc/mailname
Warn people that other tools are more recommendable over
cvsimport+cvsps2 combo when doing a one-shot import, and cvsimport
will not work with cvsps3.

Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was
affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH.

t9902: protect test from stray build artifacts
We stopped paying attention to $GIT_CONFIG environment that points
at a single configuration file from any command other than "git config"
quite a while ago, but "git clone" internally set, exported, and
then unexported the variable during its operation unnecessarily.
* jc/no-git-config-in-clone:
clone: do not export and unexport GIT_CONFIG
"git fetch --depth" was broken in at least three ways. The
resulting history was deeper than specified by one commit, it was
unclear how to wipe the shallowness of the repository with the
command, and documentation was misleading.
* nd/fetch-depth-is-broken:
fetch: elaborate --depth action
upload-pack: fix off-by-one depth calculation in shallow clone
fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete one
Some reimplementations of Git does not write all the stat info back
to the index due to their implementation limitations (e.g. jgit
running on Java). A configuration option can tell Git to ignore
changes to most of the stat fields and only pay attention to mtime
and size, which these implementations can reliably update. This
avoids excessive revalidation of contents.
* rr/minimal-stat:
Enable minimal stat checking
When giving arguments without "--" disambiguation, object names
that come earlier on the command line must not be interpretable as
pathspecs and pathspecs that come later on the command line must
not be interpretable as object names. Tweak the disambiguation
rule so that ":/" (no other string before or after) is always
interpreted as a pathspec, to avoid having to say "git cmd -- :/".
* nd/magic-pathspec-from-root:
grep: avoid accepting ambiguous revision
Update :/abc ambiguity check
Update tests that were expecting to fail due to a bug that was
fixed earlier.
* tb/t0050-maint:
t0050: Use TAB for indentation
t0050: honor CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS in add (with different case)
t0050: known breakage vanished in merge (case change)
gitk, when bound into the git.git project tree, used to live at the
root level, but in 62ba514 (Move gitk to its own subdirectory,
2007-11-17) it was moved to a subdirectory. The code used to track
changes to TCLTK_PATH (which should cause gitk to be rebuilt to
point at the new interpreter) was left in the main Makefile instead
of being moved to the new Makefile that was created for the gitk
project.
Also add .gitignore file to list build artifacts for the gitk
project.

The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
exclude mechanism does. The initial implementation of this that was
merged to 'maint' and 1.8.1.1 had severe performance degradations.
* nd/fix-directory-attrs-off-by-one:
attr: avoid calling find_basename() twice per path
attr: fix off-by-one directory component length calculation
"git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions
of Git.

rebase --preserve-merges: keep all merge commits including empty ones
Ramkumar Ramachandra noticed that the old address for the marc
archive no longer works. Update it to its marc.info address,
and also refer to the gmane site.
Remove the reference to "note from the maintainer", which is not
usually followed by any useful discussion on status, direction nor

Command line completion for "tcsh" emitted an unwanted space
after completing a single directory name.

Output from "git status --ignored" did not work well when used with
"--untracked".
* ap/status-ignored-in-ignored-directory:

git-status: Test --ignored behavior
dir.c: Make git-status --ignored more consistent
An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
* mh/ceiling:
string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes
longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split()
Introduce new function real_path_if_valid()
real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd
Introduce new static function real_path_internal()
Update tests that were expecting to fail due to a bug that was
fixed earlier.

Datestamp recorded in "Hg" format patch was reformatted incorrectly
to an e-mail looking date using locale dependant strftime, causing
patch application to fail.
* dl/am-hg-locale:
am: invoke perl's strftime in C locale
A header file that has the definition of a static array was
included in two places, wasting the space.
* jc/help:
help: include <common-cmds.h> only in one file
Fix use of an array notation that older versions of bash do not
understand.

git-completion.bash: replace zsh notation that breaks bash 3.X
Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate
tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their
scope. A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u'
and 'git add -A'. When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they
operate only on paths in the current directory.
The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly
problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p'
and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default. It also means that "git
add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from
what is recorded with "git commit -a".
Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training
users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to
prepare for the next steps:
* forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without
option)
* much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that
will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide.
A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic
pathspec easier to discover for users.
When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no
ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.

On windows, p4 marks un-edited files as read-only. Not only are
they read-only, but also they cannot be deleted. Remove the
read-only attribute before deleting in both the copy and rename
cases.
This also happens in the RCS cleanup code, where a file is marked
to be deleted, but must first be edited to remove adjust the
keyword lines. Make sure it is editable before patching.
