Since v1.7.1.1~23^2 (merge: --log appends shortlog to message if
specified, 2010-05-11), the fmt-merge-msg backend supports custom text
to override the merge title "Merge <foo> into <bar>".
Expose this functionality for scripted callers. Example:
git fmt-merge-msg --log -m \
"$(printf '%s\n' \
"Merge branch 'api-cleanup' into feature" \
'' \
'This is to use a few functions refactored for this purpose.'

While show-branch --independent does not support more than MAX_REVS
revs, git internally supports more with a different algorithm.
Expose that functionality as "git merge-base --independent".
This should help scripts to catch up with builtin merge in supporting
dodecapus.

To make the behavior of "git submodule add" more consistent with "git add"
ignored submodule paths should not be silently added when they match an
entry in a .gitignore file. To be able to override that default behavior
in the same way as we can do that for "git add", the new option "--force"
is introduced.

There is already excellent documentation for this facility in
git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable.
Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the
same repository over multiple protocols, for example.
Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.

Sometimes it is useful to know if a file or directory will be ignored
before it is added to the work tree. An example is "git submodule add",
where it would be really nice to be able to fail with an appropriate
error message before the submodule is cloned and checked out.

t0005: work around strange $? in ksh when program terminated by a signal
This will reduce considerably the common confusion where people miss the
`--follow' option, and wonder why `-M'/`-C' is not working.
* Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add
a "Common diff options" subtitle before them. (These options apply
only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among
newbies, so having them first is confusing.)
* Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options. The
options before that seem less important: `--full-diff' applies only
when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful
with many common commit specifications.
* Clarify that `--follow' works only for a single path argument.

Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we
link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has
this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes.
Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except
- when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or
- in very technical context (git-send-pack).

Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git
add --force'.
I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just
"*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree
already. When I do:
git submodule add <url> hlagh
git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository
into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the
new path:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
hlagh
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added
Failed to add submodule 'hlagh'
Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other
than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it.
That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly
saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead
it should just add the path with `git add --force'.
Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to
`git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll
get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it.
So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then
try again with the --force option.
That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think
of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out
`git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The
submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'.
