When fetching/pulling from a remote repository the "--tags" option
can be used to pull tags too. Document that it will limit the pull
to only commits reachable from the tags.

Now git-apply can grok binary replacement patches, give --binary
flag to git-am. As a safety measure, this is not by default
enabled, so that you do not let malicious e-mailed patch to
replace an arbitrary path with just a couple of lines (diff
index lines, the filename and string "Binary files "...) by
accident.

A new option, --full-index, is introduced to diff family. This
causes the full object name of pre- and post-images to appear on
the index line of patch formatted output, to be used in
conjunction with --allow-binary-replacement option of git-apply.

A new option, --allow-binary-replacement, is introduced.
When you feed a diff that records full SHA1 name of pre- and
post-image blob on its index line to git-apply with this option,
the post-image blob replaces the path if what you have in the
working tree matches the pre-image _and_ post-image blob is
already available in the object directory.
Later we _might_ want to enhance the diff output to also include
the full binary data of the post-image, to make this more
useful, but this is good enough for local rebasing application.

Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading
what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head
information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink. That
is not necessarily so.

Because we use "lost-found" as the directory name to hold

git-pack-redundant documentation was encoded in latin1, which caused
asciidoc to barf, which expected to see utf-8. Run tcs to re-encode
it in utf-8.
Also just for fun try my name in Japanese in git-lost+found
documentation ;-)

Just to avoid confusion that scripts poorly written by somebody
else ;-) might mistake this as a mount point, or backup tools
ignoring the directory. The latter is probably not a big loss,
however, considering that this directory's contents are to be
used while fresh anyway.

This patch changes git-pack-redundant so that packfiles
in alternate object directories also are considered when
deciding which objects are redundant.
This functionality is controlled by the flag '--alt-odb'.
Also convert the other flags to the long form, and update
docs and git-repack accordingly.

A script that can replay commits git into a CVS checkout. Tries to ensure the
sanity of the operation and supports mainly manual usage.
If you are reckless enough, you can ask it to autocommit when everything has
applied cleanly. Combined with a couple more scripts could become part of
a git2cvs gateway.
Should support adds/removes and binary files.

This implements the idea Daniel Barkalow came up with, to match
the remotes/origin created by clone by default to the workflow I
use myself in my guinea pig repository, to have me eat my own
dog food.
We probably would want to use either .git/refs/local/heads/*
(idea by Linus) or .git/refs/heads/origin/* instead to reduce
the local ref namespace pollution.
