2ff3a80334 Teach --dirstat not to completely ignore rearranged lines within a file
Currently, the --dirstat analysis ignores when lines within a file are
rearranged, because the "damage" calculated by show_dirstat() is 0.
However, if the object name has changed, we already know that there is
some damage, and it is unintuitive to claim there is _no_ damage.

Teach show_dirstat() to assign a minimum amount of damage (== 1) to
entries for which the analysis otherwise yields zero damage, to still
represent that these files are changed, instead of saying that there
is no change.

Also, skip --dirstat analysis when the object names are the same (e.g. for
a pure file rename).

12a296bca3 git-svn: Add a svn-remote.<name>.pushurl config key
Similar to the 'remote.<name>.pushurl' config key for git remotes,
'pushurl' is designed to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN
repository via a read-only transport, to provide an alternate
read/write transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same
repository.

The 'pushurl' key is distinct from the 'commiturl' key in that
'commiturl' is a full svn path while 'pushurl' (like 'url') is a base
path. 'commiturl' takes precendece over 'pushurl' in cases where
either might be used.

The 'pushurl' is used by git-svn's dcommit and branch commands.

d0546e2d48 magic pathspec: add ":(icase)path" to match case insensitively

8a42c98501 magic pathspec: add tentative ":/path/from/top/level" pathspec support
Support ":/" magic string that can be prefixed to a pathspec element to
say "this names the path from the top-level of the working tree", when
you are in the subdirectory.

For example, you should be able to say:

    $ edit Makefile ;# top-level
    $ cd Documentation
    $ edit git.txt ;# in the subdirectory

and then do one of three things, still inside the subdirectory:

    $ git add -u .  ;# add only Documentation/git.txt
    $ git add -u :/ ;# add everything, including paths outside Documentation
    $ git add -u    ;# whatever the default setting is.

To truly support magic pathspec, the API needs to be restructured so that
get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() are unified into one call.  Currently,
the former just prefixes the user supplied pathspec with the current
subdirectory path, and the latter takes the output from the former and
pre-parses them into a bit richer structure for easier handling.  They
should become a single API function that takes the current subdirectory
path and the remainder of argv[] (after parsing --options and revision
arguments from the command line) and returns an array of parsed pathspec
elements, and "magic" should become attributes of struct pathspec_item.

This patch implements only "top" magic because it can be hacked into the
system without such a refactoring.

The syntax for magic pathspec prefix is designed to be extensible yet
simple to type to invoke a simple magic like "from the top".  The parser
for the magic prefix is hooked into get_pathspec() function in this patch,
and it needs to be moved when we refactor the API.

But we have to start from somewhere.

9db31bdf5c submodule: Add --force option for git submodule update
By default git submodule update runs a simple checkout on submodules that
are not up-to-date. If the submodules contains modified or untracked
files, the command may exit sanely with an error:

  $ git submodule update
  error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
  checkout:
	  file
  Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
  Aborting
  Unable to checkout '1b69c6e55606b48d3284a3a9efe4b58bfb7e8c9e' in
  submodule path 'test1'

In order to reset a whole git submodule tree, a user has to run first 'git
submodule foreach --recursive git checkout -f' and then run 'git submodule
update'.

This patch adds a --force option for the update command (only used for
submodules without --rebase or --merge options). It passes the --force
option to git checkout which will throw away the local changes.

467ddc14fe git diff -D: omit the preimage of deletes
When reviewing a patch while concentrating primarily on the text after
then change, wading through pages of deleted text involves a cognitive
burden.

Introduce the -D option that omits the preimage text from the patch output
for deleted files.  When used with -B (represent total rewrite as a single
wholesale deletion followed by a single wholesale addition), the preimage
text is also omitted.

To prevent such a patch from being applied by mistake, the output is
designed not to be usable by "git apply" (or GNU "patch"); it is strictly
for human consumption.

It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can
read the intention out of such a patch.  It however is impossible to apply
such a patch even manually in reverse, as the whole point of this option
is to omit the information necessary to do so from the output.

Michael J Gruber.

options in the rev-list family of commands such as "log".  Consequently,
the description of the --cherry-pick option appears way above the

But the description of the --cherry-pick option still refers to the

313ee0d69f submodule: process conflicting submodules only once
During a merge module_list returns conflicting submodules several times
(stage 1,2,3) which caused the submodules to be used multiple times in
git submodule init, sync, update and status command.

There are 5 callers of module_list; they all read (mode, sha1, stage,
path) tuple, and most of them care only about path.  As a first level
approximation, it should be Ok (in the sense that it does not make things
worse than it currently is) to filter the duplicate paths from module_list
output, but some callers should change their behaviour when the merge in
the superproject still has conflicts.

Notice the higher-stage entries, and emit only one record from
module_list, but while doing so, mark the entry with "U" (not [0-3]) in
the $stage field and null out the SHA-1 part, as the object name for the
lowest stage does not give any useful information to the caller, and this
way any caller that uses the object name would hopefully barf.  Then
update the codepaths for each subcommands this way:

 - "update" should not touch the submodule repository, because we do not
   know what commit should be checked out yet.

 - "status" reports the conflicting submodules as 'U000...000' and does
   not recurse into them (we might later want to make it recurse).

 - The command called by "foreach" may want to do whatever it wants to do
   by noticing the merged status in the superproject itself, so feed the
   path to it from module_list as before, but only once per submodule.

 - "init" and "sync" are unlikely things to do while the superproject is
   still not merged, but as long as a submodule is there in $path, there
   is no point skipping it. It might however want to take the merged
   status of .gitmodules into account, but that is outside of the scope of
   this topic.

0990248610 remote: deprecate --mirror
The configuration created by plain --mirror is dangerous and
useless, and we now have --mirror=fetch and --mirror=push to
replace it. Let's warn the user.

One alternative to this is to try to guess which type the
user wants. In a non-bare repository, a fetch mirror doesn't
make much sense, since it would overwrite local commits. But
in a bare repository, you might use either type, or even
both (e.g., if you are acting as an intermediate drop-point
across two disconnected networks).

So rather than try for complex heuristics, let's keep it
simple. The user knows what they're trying to do, so let
them tell us.

a9f5a3558d remote: separate the concept of push and fetch mirrors
git-remote currently has one option, "--mirror", which sets
up mirror configuration which can be used for either
fetching or pushing. It looks like this:

  [remote "mirror"]
    url = wherever
    fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
    mirror = true

However, a remote like this can be dangerous and confusing.
Specifically:

  1. If you issue the wrong command, it can be devastating.
     You are not likely to "push" when you meant to "fetch",
     but "git remote update" will try to fetch it, even if
     you intended the remote only for pushing. In either
     case, the results can be quite destructive. An
     unintended push will overwrite or delete remote refs,
     and an unintended fetch can overwrite local branches.

  2. The tracking setup code can produce confusing results.
     The fetch refspec above means that "git checkout -b new
     master" will consider refs/heads/master to come from
     the remote "mirror", even if you only ever intend to
     push to the mirror. It will set up the "new" branch to
     track mirror's refs/heads/master.

  3. The push code tries to opportunistically update
     tracking branches. If you "git push mirror foo:bar",
     it will see that we are updating mirror's
     refs/heads/bar, which corresponds to our local
     refs/heads/bar, and will update our local branch.

To solve this, we split the concept into "push mirrors" and
"fetch mirrors". Push mirrors set only remote.*.mirror,
solving (2) and (3), and making an accidental fetch write
only into FETCH_HEAD. Fetch mirrors set only the fetch
refspec, meaning an accidental push will not force-overwrite
or delete refs on the remote end.
