We used to take the first non-option argument as the name for the new
branch. This syntax is not extensible to support rewriting more than just
HEAD.
Instead, we now have the following syntax:
git filter-branch [<filter options>...] [<rev-list options>]
All positive refs given in <rev-list options> are rewritten. Yes,
in-place. If a ref was changed, the original head is stored in
refs/original/$ref now, for your inspecting pleasure, in addition to the
reflogs (since it is easier to inspect "git show-ref | grep original" than
to inspect all the reflogs).
This commit also adds the --force option to remove .git-rewrite/ and all
refs from refs/original/ before filtering.

* 'master' of git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport:
Teach fast-import to recursively copy files/directories
Fix git-p4 on Windows to not use the Posix sysconf function.
Correct trivial typo in fast-import documentation
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames by telling us the directory was copied, then deleted in the
same revision. This makes it difficult for a frontend to convert
such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has
on hand is "Copy a/ to b/; Delete a/" with no details about what
files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files.
The new 'C' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to make a
recursive copy of one path to another path within the branch, without
needing to keep track of the individual file paths. The metadata
copy is performed in memory efficiently, but is implemented as a
copy-immediately operation, rather than copy-on-write.
With this new 'C' subcommand frontends could obviously implement an
'R' (rename) on their own as a combination of 'C' and 'D' (delete),
but since we have already offered up 'R' in the past and it is a
trivial thing to keep implemented I'm not going to deprecate it.

In the previous behavior, "git-rm --cached" (without -f) had the same
restriction as "git-rm". This forced the user to use the -f flag in
situations which weren't actually dangerous, like:
$ git add foo # oops, I didn't want this
$ git rm --cached foo # back to initial situation
Previously, the index had to match the file *and* the HEAD. With
--cached, the index must now match the file *or* the HEAD. The behavior
without --cached is unchanged, but provides better error messages.

This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a
cleaner version, using code from remote.[ch], which got extended a
little in the process. This also enables us to fix two cases:
The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started
with "refs/remotes" is wrong. You are absolutely allowed to use a
separate layout for your tracking branches. The correct fix, of course,
is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching
remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon.
Another corner case was not handled properly. If two remotes write to
the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames without telling us exactly which files in that subdirectory
were moved. This makes it hard for a frontend to convert such data
formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has on hand
is "Rename a/ to b/" with no details about what files are in a/,
unless the frontend also kept track of all files.
The new 'R' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to
rename either a file or an entire subdirectory, without needing to
know the object's SHA-1 or the specific files contained within it.
The rename is performed as efficiently as possible internally,
making it cheaper than a 'D'/'M' pair for a file rename.

Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started
cluttering the config for local branches. That is not the original
intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for
convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics
got lost somewhere.
If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch
branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all". Otherwise, it is interpreted
as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching
off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

- Pushing to a branch that is checked out will have odd results.
- It's OK to synchronize just using pull if that's simpler.

Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.
So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.
If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection
of the directory .git/rr-cache.
