That way we avoid any confusion with "GNU Interactive Tools", and it's
more descriptive anyway (the rpm documentation talks about how git is
split into a "core" part and an "SCM" part, this makes it clear that
this is the core one).
You can use it as
git branch <branchname> [start-point]
and it creates a new branch of name <branchname>. If a starting point
is specified, that will be where the branch is created, otherwise it
will be created at the current HEAD.
The sequence
git branch xyz abc
git checkout xyz
can also be written as
git checkout -b xyz abc
as per the previous commit.
Use git-tar-tree directly from git source during make dist. This
handles bootstrap issue with git not being installed.

This patch makes the first half of write_sha1_file() and
index_fd() externally visible, to allow callers to compute the
object ID without actually storing it in the object database.
[JC demangled the whitespaces himself because he liked the patch
so much, and reworked the interface to index_fd() slightly,
taking suggestion from Linus and of his own.]

It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper
functions (currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like
a git archive. So use it something like
. git-sh-setup-script || die "Not a git archive"

This was invaluable for debugging the zero-sized compression issue, and
might be useful for scripting too, if people want to see the contents of
a pack.
It's meant to be used by "git fetch" for the local and ssh case.
It doesn't actually do the fetching now, but it does discover the common
commit point.
Nico pointed out that having verify_pack.c and verify-pack.c was
confusing. Rename verify_pack.c to pack-check.c as suggested,
and enhances the verification done quite a bit.
- Built-in sha1_file unpacking knows that a base object of a
deltified object _must_ be in the same pack, and takes
advantage of that fact.
- Earlier verify-pack command only checked the SHA1 sum for the
entire pack file and did not look into its contents. It now
checks everything idx file claims to have unpacks correctly.
- It now has a hook to give more detailed information for
objects contained in the pack under -v flag.

It's not working yet, but it's at the point where I want to be able to
track my changes. The theory of operation is that this is the "remote"
side of a "git push". It can tell us what references the remote side
has, receives out reference update commands and a pack-file, and can
execute the unpacking command.
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the
index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency.
This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache
when the --full flag is used.
During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx
file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum
stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check.
We may further want to check the pack signature and version when
we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch.
Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led
to a random fatal error later. This version explicitly die()s
when such an error is detected.

This makes it match the new delta encoding, and admittedly makes the
code easier to follow.
This also updates the PACK file version to 2, since this (and the delta
encoding change in the previous commit) are incompatible with the old
format.
Packed delta files created by git-pack-objects seems to be the
way to go, and existing "delta" object handling code has exposed
the object representation details to too many places. Remove it
while we refactor code to come up with a proper interface in
sha1_file.c.

We want to be able to check their integrity later, and putting the
sha1-sum of the contents at the end is a good thing. The writing
routines are generic, so we could try to re-use them for the index file,
instead of having the same logic duplicated.
Update unpack-objects to know about the extra 20 bytes at the end
of the index.
This will scan 2 or more object repositories and look for common objects, check
if they are hardlinked, and replace one with a hardlink to the other if not.
This version warns when skipping files because of size differences, and
handle more than 2 repositories automatically.

The git-cherry command helps the git-rebase script by finding
commits that have not been merged upstream. Commits already
included in upstream are prefixed with '-' (meaning "drop from
my local pull"), while commits missing from upstream are
prefixed with '+' (meaning "add to the updated upstream").

So far it just reads the header and generates the list of objects.
It also sorts them by the order they are written in the pack file,
since that ends up being the same order we got them originally, and
is thus "most recent first".
This is kind of like a tar-ball for a set of objects, ready to be
shipped off to another end. Alternatively, you could use is as a packed
representation of the object database directly, if you changed
"read_sha1_file()" to read these kinds of packs.
The latter is partiularly useful to generate a "packed history", ie you
could pack up your old history efficiently, but still have it available
(at a performance hit, of course).
I haven't actually written an unpacker yet, so the end result has not
been verified in any way yet. I obviously always write bug-free code,
so it just has to work, no?
A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch,
with whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably
stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, ie two patches
that have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same
thing.
IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
It is careful by default and refuses to overwrite old info, but if you
want to force everything to be re-read, use the "-f" flag.
Some day I'll make it take individual filenames too. Right now
it's all-or-nothing.
Fix permissions, and add trivial "reset" and "add" scripts.
The "reset" script just resets the index back to head, while the "add"
script is just a crutch for people used to do "cvs add".
It's an incredibly cheesy helper that changes human-readable revision
arguments into the git-rev-list argument format.
You can use it to do something like this:
git-rev-list --pretty $(git-rev-parse --default HEAD "$@")
which is what git-log-script will become. Here git-rev-parse will
then allow you to use arguments like "v2.6.12-rc5.." or similar
human-readable ranges.
It's really quite stupid: "a..b" will be converted into "a" and "^b" if
"a" and "b" are valid object pointers. And the "--default" case will be
used if nothing but flags have been seen, so that you can default to a
certain argument if there are no other ranges.
The diff-* brothers acquired a sibling, git-diff-stages. With
an unmerged index file, you specify two stage numbers and it
shows the differences between them.

This gets the "cvs2git" program from the old git-tools
archive, and adds a nice script around it that makes it
much easier to use.
With this, you should be able to import a CVS archive
using just a simple
git cvsimport <cvsroot> <module>
and you're done. At least it worked for my one single test.
NOTE!! This may need tweaking. It currently expects (and
verifies) that cvsps version 2.1 is installed, but you
can't actually set any of the cvsps parameters, like the
time fuzz.

This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.
The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.
With this patch a graph like this:
a4 ---
| \ \
| b4 |
|/ | |
a3 | |
| | |
a2 | |
| | c3
| | |
| | c2
| b3 |
| | /|
| b2 |
| | c1
| | /
| b1
a1 |
| |
a0 |
| /
root
Sorts like this:
= a4
| c3
| c2
| c1
^ b4
| b3
| b2
| b1
^ a3
| a2
| a1
| a0
= root
Instead of this:
= a4
| c3
^ b4
| a3
^ c2
^ b3
^ a2
^ b2
^ c1
^ a1
^ b1
^ a0
= root
A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:
cd t
./t6000-rev-list.sh
cd trash
cat actual-default-order
cat actual-merge-order
The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.
This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.
This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8da45f10fe9a0c3cf571600f55ead2ce.
This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)
This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.
