When diffing trees (either specified on the command line or from the
standard input), the -s, -v, --pretty, --abbrev-commit, --encoding,
--no-commit-id, and --always options are ignored, since they do not

The --full-history traversal keeps all merges in addition to non-merge
commits that touch paths in the given pathspec. This is useful to view
both sides of a merge in a topology like this:
A---M---o
/ /
---O---B
even when A and B makes identical change to the given paths. The revision
traversal without --full-history aims to come up with the simplest history
to explain the final state of the tree, and one of the side branches can
be pruned away.
The behaviour to keep all merges however is inconvenient if neither A nor
B touches the paths we are interested in. --full-history reduces the
topology to:
---O---M---o
in such a case, without removing M.
This adds a post processing phase on top of --full-history traversal to
remove needless merges from the resulting history.
The idea is to compute, for each commit in the "full history" result set,
the commit that should replace it in the simplified history. The commit
to replace it in the final history is determined as follows:
* In any case, we first figure out the replacement commits of parents of
the commit we are looking at. The commit we are looking at is
rewritten as if the replacement commits of its original parents are its
parents. While doing so, we reduce the redundant parents from the
rewritten parent list by not just removing the identical ones, but also
removing a parent that is an ancestor of another parent.
* After the above parent simplification, if the commit is a root commit,
an UNINTERESTING commit, a merge commit, or modifies the paths we are
interested in, then the replacement commit of the commit is itself. In
other words, such a commit is not dropped from the final result.
The first point above essentially means that the history is rewritten in
the bottom up direction. We can rewrite the parent list of a commit only
after we know how all of its parents are rewritten. This means that the
processing needs to happen on the full history (i.e. after limit_list()).

This patch explains more carefully that `.gitignore` concerns only

Whether feasible or not, I believe adding this functionality to

think that referring to the plumbing in the case of such a special

This change makes "submodule add" much more strict in the arguments it
takes, and is intended to address confusion as recently noted on the
git-list. With this change, the required syntax is:
$ git submodule add URL path
Specifically, this eliminates the form
$ git submodule add URL
which was confused by more than one person as
$ git submodule add path
With this patch, the URL locating the submodule's origin repository can be
either an absolute URL, or (if it begins with ./ or ../) can express the
submodule's repository location relative to the superproject's origin.
This patch also eliminates a third form of URL, which was relative to the
superproject's top-level directory (not its repository). Any URL that was
neither absolute nor matched ./*|../* was assumed to point to a
subdirectory of the superproject as the location of the submodule's origin
repository. This URL form was confusing and does not seem to correspond
to an important use-case. Specifically, no-one has identified the need to
clone from a repository already in the superproject's tree, but if this is
needed it is easily done using an absolute URL: $(pwd)/relative-path. So,
no functionality is lost with this patch. (t6008-rev-list-submodule.sh did
rely upon this relative URL, fixed by using $(pwd).)
Following this change, there are exactly four variants of
submodule-add, as both arguments have two flavors:
URL can be absolute, or can begin with ./|../ and thus names the
submodule's origin relative to the superproject's origin.
Note: With this patch, "submodule add" discerns an absolute URL as
matching /*|*:*: e.g., URL begins with /, or it contains a :. This works
for all valid URLs, an absolute path in POSIX, as well as an absolute path
on Windows).
path can either already exist as a valid git repo, or will be cloned from
the given URL. The first form here eases creation of a new submodule in
an existing superproject as the submodule can be added and tested in-tree
before pushing to the public repository. However, the more usual form is
the second, where the repo is cloned from the given URL.
This specifically addresses the issue of
$ git submodule add a/b/c
attempting to clone from a repository at "a/b/c" to create a new module
in "c". This also simplifies description of "relative URL" as there is now
exactly *one* form: a URL relative to the parent's origin repo.

"git-branch --merged" is a handy way to list all the branches that have
already been merged to the current branch, but it did not allow checking
against anything but the current branch. Having to switch branches only
to list the branches that are merged with another branch made the feature
practically useless.
This updates the option parser so that "git branch --merged next" is
accepted when you are on 'master' branch.

The documentation suggests using "git stash apply" in the
--keep-index workflow even though doing so will lead to clutter
in the stash. And given that the changes are about to be
committed anyway "git stash pop" is more sensible.
Additionally the text preceeding the example claims that it
works for "two or more commits", but the example itself is
really tailored for just two. Expanding it just a little
makes it clear how the procedure generalizes to N commits.
Finally the example is annotated with some commentary to
explain things on a line-by-line basis.
Merge has always set ORIG_HEAD but never mentioned it, while we
recently added it to am and rebase. These facts should be reflected
in the documentation.
git-reset also sets ORIG_HEAD, but that fact is already mentioned in
the very first example so no changes were needed there.

'git stash save' saves local modifications to a new stash, and runs 'git
reset --hard' to revert them to a clean index and work tree. When the
'--keep-index' option is specified, after that 'git reset --hard' the
previous contents of the index is restored and the work tree is updated
to match the index. This option is useful if the user wants to commit
only parts of his local modifications, but wants to test those parts
before committing.

Adds a new option 'e' to the 'add -p' command loop that lets you edit
the current hunk in your favourite editor.
If the resulting patch applies cleanly, the edited hunk will
immediately be marked for staging. If it does not apply cleanly, you
will be given an opportunity to edit again. If all lines of the hunk
are removed, then the edit is aborted and the hunk is left unchanged.
Applying the changed hunk(s) relies on Johannes Schindelin's new
--recount option for git-apply.
Note that the "real patch" test intentionally uses
(echo e; echo n; echo d) | git add -p
even though the 'n' and 'd' are superfluous at first sight. They
serve to get out of the interaction loop if git add -p wrongly
concludes the patch does not apply.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which

them at the root.
Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs
that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own

git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that

We used to mark hooks we ship as samples by making them unexecutable, but
some filesystems cannot tell what is executable and what is not.
This makes it much more explicit. The hooks are suffixed with .sample
(but now are made executable), so enabling it is still one step operation
(instead of "chmod +x $hook", you would do "mv $hook.sample $hook") but
now they won't get accidentally enabled on systems without executable bit.
