With --get-regexp, output all key/value pairs where the key matches a
regexp. Example:
git-repo-config --get-regexp remote.*.url
will output something like
remote.junio.url git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
remote.gitk.url git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/gitk/gitk.git

The "bind" commit can express an aggregation of multiple
projects into a single commit.
In such an organization, there would be one project, root of
whose tree object is at the same level of the root of the
aggregated projects, and other projects have their toplevel in
separate subdirectories. Let's call that root level project the
"primary project", and call other ones just "subprojects".
You would first read-tree the primary project, and then graft
the subprojects under their appropriate location using read-tree
--prefix=<subdir>/ repeatedly.
To write out a tree object from such an index for a subproject,
write-tree --prefix=<subdir>/ is used.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
With "--prefix=<path>/" option, read-tree keeps the current
index contents, and reads the contents of named tree-ish under
directory at `<prefix>`. The original index file cannot have
anything at the path `<prefix>` itself, and have nothing in
`<prefix>/` directory. This can be used to graft an
independent tree into a subdirectory of the current index.

annotate: display usage information if no filename was given
annotate: fix warning about uninitialized scalar
git-am --resolved: more usable error message.

git rebase --continue
git rebase --abort
Add "--continue" to restart the rebase process after
manually resolving conflicts. The user is warned if
there are still differences between the index and the

Add "--abort" to restore the original branch, and

This has been an unfortunate sideway in the git API evolution.
We use git-repo-config for all the other .git/config interaction
so let's also use git-repo-config -l for the variable listing.
Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>
This adds git-repo-config --list (or git-repo-config -l) support,
similar to what git-var -l does now (to be phased out so that we
have a single sane interface to the config file instead of fragmented
and confused API).

Ok this really should be the good version. The option
handling has been reworked to be automation safe.
Currently to import the -mm tree I have to work around
git-apply by using patch. Because some of Andrews
patches in quilt will only apply with fuzz.
I started out implementing a --fuzz option and then I realized
fuzz is not a very safe concept for an automated system. What
you really want is a minimum number of context lines that must
match. This allows policy to be set without knowing how many
lines of context a patch actually provides. By default
the policy remains to match all provided lines of context.
Allowng git-apply to match a restricted set of context makes
it much easier to import the -mm tree into git. I am still only
processing 1.5 to 1.6 patches a second for the 692 patches in
2.6.17-rc1-mm2 is still painful but it does help.
If I just loop through all of Andrews patches in order
and run git-apply --index -C1 I process the entire patchset
in 1m53s or about 6 patches per second. So running
git-mailinfo, git-write-tree, git-commit-tree, and
git-update-ref everytime has a measurable impact,
and shows things can be speeded up even more.
All of these timings were taking on my poor 700Mhz Athlon
with 512MB of ram. So people with fast machiens should
see much better performance.
When a match is found after the number of context are reduced a
warning is generated. Since this is a rare event and possibly
dangerous this seems to make sense. Unless you are patching
a single file the error message is a little bit terse at
the moment, but it should be easy to go back and fix.
I have also updated the documentation for git-apply to reflect
the new -C option that sets the minimum number of context
lines that must match.

git-diff-* --pickaxe-regex will change the -S pickaxe to match
POSIX extended regular expressions instead of fixed strings.
The regex.h library is a rather stupid interface and I like pcre too, but
with any luck it will be everywhere we will want to run Git on, it being
POSIX.2 and all. I'm not sure if we can expect platforms like AIX to
conform to POSIX.2 or if win32 has regex.h. We might add a flag to
Makefile if there is a portability trouble potential.

I'm afraid I'll be accused of trying to suck all the jokes and the
personality out of the git documentation. I'm not! Really!
That said, "man git" is one of the first things a new user is likely try,
and it seems a little cruel to start off with a somewhat obscure joke
about the architecture of git.
So instead I'm trying for a relatively straightforward description of what
git does, and what features distinguish it from other systems, together
with immediate links to introductory documentation.
I also did some minor reorganization in an attempt to clarify the
classification of commands. And revised a bit for conciseness (as is
obvious from the diffstat--hopefully I didn't cut anything important).

* master:
Optionally do not list empty directories in git-ls-files --others
Document git-rebase behavior on conflicts.
Fix error handling for nonexistent names
Without the --directory flag, git-ls-files wouldn't ever list directories,
producing no output for empty directories, which is good since they cannot
be added and they bear no content, even untracked one (if Git ever starts
tracking directories on their own, this should obviously change since the
content notion will change).
With the --directory flag however, git-ls-files would list even empty
directories. This may be good in some situations but sometimes you want to
prevent that. This patch adds a --no-empty-directory option which makes
git-ls-files omit empty directories.
