162eba8b43 mergetool: Don't keep temporary merge files unless told to
This changes git mergetool to remove the temporary files used to invoke
the merge tool even if it returns non-zero.

This also adds a configuration option (mergetool.keepTemporaries) to
retain the previous behaviour if desired.

671c9b7e31 Add cache preload facility
This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much
improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have
weak metadata caching.

Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an
optimistic preload of the index stat data.  The function takes a
pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant
portion of the index.

986e82396a receive-pack: detect push to current branch of non-bare repo
Pushing into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare
repository can be dangerous; the HEAD then loses sync with
the index and working tree, and it looks in the receiving
repo as if the pushed changes have been reverted in the
index (since they were never there in the first place).

This patch adds a safety valve that checks for this
condition and either generates a warning or denies the
update. We trigger the check only on a non-bare repository,
since a bare repo does not have a working tree (and in fact,
pushing to the HEAD branch is a common workflow for
publishing repositories).

The behavior is configurable via receive.denyCurrentBranch,
defaulting to "warn" so as not to break existing setups
(though it may, after a deprecation period, switch to
"refuse" by default). For users who know what they are doing
and want to silence the warning (e.g., because they have a
post-receive hook that reconciles the HEAD and working
tree), they can turn off the warning by setting it to false
or "ignore".

a240de1137 Introduce receive.denyDeletes
Occasionally, it may be useful to prevent branches from getting deleted from
a centralized repository, particularly when no administrative access to the
server is available to undo it via reflog. It also makes
receive.denyNonFastForwards more useful if it is used for access control
since it prevents force-updating by deleting and re-creating a ref.

a567fdcb01 format-patch: autonumber by default
format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when
sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on
the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.

In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.

Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch.  Users that want to
change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

7faee6b8de compat/cygwin.c - Use cygwin's stat if core.filemode == true
Cygwin's POSIX emulation allows use of core.filemode true, unlike native
Window's implementation of stat / lstat, and Cygwin/git users who have
configured core.filemode true in various repositories will be very
unpleasantly surprised to find that git is no longer honoring that option.
So, this patch forces use of Cygwin's stat functions if core.filemode is
set true, regardless of any other considerations.

adbc0b6b6e cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat
lstat/stat functions in Cygwin are very slow, because they try to emulate
some *nix things that Git does not actually need. This patch adds Win32
specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin.

This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases
it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary
for two reasons:

- Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is
  not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be
  used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it
  causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we
  always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths.

- Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using
  one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls
  back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links.

The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for
common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name
does not exist.

Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible,
it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one
situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository
together.  Therefore, the core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks configuration option is
provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.

a5a818ee48 diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared
With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/".  Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.

    "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
    "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
    "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).

Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

Change cd67e4d4 introduced a new configuration parameter that told
pull to automatically perform a rebase instead of a merge.  This
change provides a configuration option to enable this feature
automatically when creating a new branch.

If the variable branch.autosetuprebase applies for a branch that's
being created, that branch will have branch.<name>.rebase set to true.

The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option.  Since I was touching related

25ee9731c1 gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.

Since it is dangerous, we told users so.  That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.

Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.

Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation.  This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).

If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be

	[gc]
		pruneExpire = 6.months.ago

or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.

Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.

While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.

964473a042 Teach git mergetool to use custom commands defined at config time
Currently git mergetool is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the mergetool.<tool>.path to force
git mergetool to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.

This patch adds two git config variable patterns which allow a more
flexible choice of merge tool.

If you run git mergetool with -t/--tool or the merge.tool config
variable set to an unrecognized tool then git mergetool will query the
mergetool.<tool>.cmd config variable. If this variable exists, then git
mergetool will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use
a shell eval to run the command with the documented shell variables set.

mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode can be used to indicate that the exit
code of the custom command can be used to determine the success of the
merge.

94c22a5e7b log/show/whatchanged: introduce format.pretty configuration
When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may
want to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt>
option every time from the command line.  This teaches these three
commands to honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.

The --pretty option given from the command line will override the
configured format.

The earlier patch fixed the in-tree callers that run these commands
for purposes other than showing the output directly to the end user
(the only other in-tree caller is "git bisect visualize", whose output
directly goes to the end user and should be affected by this patch).

Similar fixes will be needed for end-user scripts that parse the
output from these commands and expect them to be in the default pretty
format.

844112cac0 url rewriting: take longest and first match
Earlier we had a cop-out in the documentation to make the
behaviour "undefined" if configuration had more than one
insteadOf that would match the target URL, like this:

    [url "git://git.or.cz/"]
	insteadOf = "git.or.cz:"       ; (1)
	insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:"      ; (2)
    [url "/local/mirror/"]
	insteadOf = "git.or.cz:myrepo" ; (3)
	insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:"      ; (4)

It would be most natural to take the longest and first match, i.e.

 - rewrite "git.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by using
   (1),

 - rewrite "git.or.cz:myrepo/xyzzy" to "/local/mirror/xyzzy" by favoring
   (3) over (1), and

 - rewrite "repo.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by
   favoring (2) over (4).

get the desired access.

For example, if you don't have a kernel.org account, you might want
settings like:

[url "git://git.kernel.org/pub/"]
      insteadOf = master.kernel.org:/pub

Then, if you give git a URL like:

  master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git

it will act like you gave it:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git

and you can cut-and-paste pull requests in email without fixing them

833e3df171 pack-objects: Add runtime detection of online CPU's
Packing objects can be done in parallell nowadays, but it's
only done if the config option pack.threads is set to a value
above 1. Because of that, the code-path used is often not the
most optimal one.

This patch adds a routine to detect the number of online CPU's
at runtime (online_cpus()). When pack.threads (or --threads=) is
given a value of 0, the number of threads is set to the number of
online CPU's. This feature is also documented.

As per Nicolas Pitre's recommendations, the default is still to
run pack-objects single-threaded unless explicitly activated,
either by configuration or by command line parameter.

The routine online_cpus() is a rework of "numcpus.c", written by
one Philip Willoughby <pgw99@doc.ic.ac.uk>. numcpus.c is in the
public domain and can presently be downloaded from
http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/numcpus/
