030149a4dc git --paginate: paginate external commands again
73e25e7c (git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early,
2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account.

1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do
    not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched
    from run_builtin().  So the core.pager configuration is
    not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them.

4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the
    early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option.
    Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all.

4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying
    on the early pager launch.

Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a
“dashed external”.  For simplicity, this still does not search for a
.git directory before running the external command; when run from a
subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager”
configuration is still not honored.

Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an
alias.  Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any)
would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a
dashed external first.  The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from-
subdirectory bug still applies here, too.

(1b) is not a regression.  There is no need to fix it yet.

Noticed by Junio.

21baa6e0c5 merge-tree: fix where two branches share no changes
15b4f7a (merge-tree: use ll_merge() not xdl_merge(), 2010-01-16)
introduced a regression to merge-tree to cause it to segfault when merging
files which existed in one branch, but not in the other or in the
merge-base. This was caused by referencing entry->path at a time when
entry was known to be possibly-NULL.

To correct the problem, we save the path of the entry we came in with,
as the path should be the same among all the stages no matter which
sides are involved in the merge.

7d7ff15b39 rerere: fix overeager gc
'rerere gc' prunes resolutions of conflicted merges that occurred long
time ago, and when doing so it takes the creation time of the
conflicted automerge results into account.  This can cause the loss of
frequently used conflict resolutions (e.g. long-living topic branches
are merged into a regularly rebuilt integration branch (think of git's
pu)) when they become old enough to exceed 'rerere gc's threshold.

To prevent the loss of valuable merge resolutions 'rerere' will (1)
update the timestamp of the recorded conflict resolution (i.e.
'postimage') each time when encountering and resolving the same merge
conflict, and (2) take this timestamp, i.e. the time of the last usage
into account when gc'ing.

This script is part of the second batch of tests, from the same day
the test infrastructure was added to git.  Update it to use a more
modern style in the spirit of v1.6.4-rc0~45^2~2 (2009-05-22).
In particular:

 - Put setup code inside test assertions, to avoid unexpected
   breakages and avoid stray output without -v (as t/README
   recommends); and

 - Put the test title on the same line as the "test_expect_success",
   and end the line with a single-quote to begin the body of the test
   which is one multi-line string.

060df62422 fast-export: Fix output order of D/F changes
The fast-import stream format requires incremental changes which take place
immediately, meaning that for D->F conversions all files below the relevant
directory must be deleted before the resulting file of the same name is
created.  Reversing the order can result in fast-import silently deleting
the file right after creating it, resulting in the file missing from the
resulting repository.

We correct this by first sorting the diff_queue_struct in depth-first
order.

5a2580d62f merge_recursive: Fix renames across paths below D/F conflicts
The rename logic in process_renames() handles renames and merging of file
contents and then marks files as processed.  However, there may be higher
stage entries left in the index for other reasons (e.g., due to D/F
conflicts).  By checking for such cases and marking the entry as not
processed, it allows process_entry() later to look at it and handle those
higher stages.

37348937ff merge-recursive: Fix D/F conflicts
The D/F conflicts that can be automatically resolved (file or directory
unmodified on one side of history), have the nice property that
process_entry() can correctly handle all subpaths of the D/F conflict.  In
the case of D->F conversions, it will correctly delete all non-conflicting
files below the relevant directory and the directory itself (note that both
untracked and conflicting files below the directory will prevent its
removal).  So if we handle D/F conflicts after all other conflicts, they
become fairly simple to handle -- we just need to check for whether or not
a path (file/directory) is in the way of creating the new content.  We do
this by having process_entry() defer handling such entries to a subsequent
process_df_entry() step.

b1f47514f2 Fix "read-tree -m A B" priming the cache-tree
In 456156d a shortcut to priming the index tree reference was
introduced, but the justification for it was completely bogus.

"read-tree -m A B" is to take the index (and the working tree)
that is largely based on (but does not have to match exactly) A
and update it to B, while carrying the local change that does
not overlap the difference between A and B, so there is no reason
to expect that the resulting index should match the tree B.

4ecb79386d t9118 (git-svn): prevent early failure from taking down later tests
When test #2 fails, the cwd is project/, causing all the

So in the spirit of v1.7.1.1~53^2~10 (t5550-http-fetch: Use subshell
for repository operations, 2010-04-17), use a subshell for svn
working copy operations.  This way, the cwd will reliably return
to the top of the trash directory and later tests can still be run
when a command has failed.

68d03e4a6e Implement automatic fast-forward merge for submodules
This implements a simple merge strategy for submodule hashes. We check
whether one side of the merge candidates is already contained in the
other and then merge automatically.

If both sides contain changes we search for a merge in the submodule.
In case a single one exists we check that out and suggest it as the
merge resolution. A list of candidates is returned when we find multiple
merges that contain both sides of the changes.

This is useful for a workflow in which the developers can publish topic
branches in submodules and a separate maintainer merges them. In case
the developers always wait until their branch gets merged before tracking
them in the superproject all merges of branches that contain submodule
changes will be resolved automatically. If developers choose to track
their feature branch the maintainer might get a conflict but git will
search the submodule for a merge and suggest it/them as a resolution.

9ba0f0334d parse_date: fix signedness in timezone calculation
When no timezone is specified, we deduce the offset by
subtracting the result of mktime from our calculated
timestamp.

However, our timestamp is stored as an unsigned integer,
meaning we perform the subtraction as unsigned. For a
negative offset, this means we wrap to a very high number,
and our numeric timezone is in the millions of hours. You
can see this bug by doing:

   $ TZ=EST \
     GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='2010-06-01 10:00' \
     git commit -a -m foo
   $ git cat-file -p HEAD | grep author
   author Jeff King <peff@peff.net> 1275404416 +119304128

Instead, we should perform this subtraction as a time_t, the
same type that mktime returns.

Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git
add --force'.

I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just
"*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree
already. When I do:

    git submodule add <url> hlagh

git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository
into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the
new path:

    The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
    hlagh
    Use -f if you really want to add them.
    fatal: no files added
    Failed to add submodule 'hlagh'

Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other
than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it.

That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly
saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead
it should just add the path with `git add --force'.

Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to
`git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll
get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it.

So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then
try again with the --force option.

That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think
of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out
`git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The
submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'.

20873f45e7 t/README: Document the do's and don'ts of tests
Add a "Do's, don'ts & things to keep in mind" subsection to the
"Writing Tests" documentation. Much of this is based on Junio C
Hamano's "Test your stuff" section in
<7vhbkj2kcr.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>.

I turned it into a list of do's and don'ts to make it easier to skim
it, and integrated my note that a TAP harness will get confused if you
print "ok" or "not ok" at the beginning of a line.

Thad had to be fixed in 335f87871f when
TAP support was introduced.
