In the detailed explanation of how the revision machinery does history
simplification, the current text presents an example history and explains
how various options of the revision machinery affect the resulting list
of commits. The first simplification mode mentioned is the default mode,
in which a number of commits is omitted from the example graph according
to the history simplification rules. The text states (among other things)
that commit "C was considered via N, but is TREESAME", and therefore
omitted. However, the accompanying graph does not list the effect on the
implicit parentage, i.e. that commit I takes C's place as a parent of N.
Running 'git rev-list --parents P' does indeed list I as a second parent
of N, and the accompanying graph should therefore also show this line.

By default reflogs are always created for new local branches by
"checkout -b". But by setting core.logAllRefUpdates to false this will
not be true anymore.
In that case you only create the reflogs when you use -l switch with

Avoid attempts to stat() the contents of '', which could happen
when the root directory is empty. Additionally, remove the
unnecessary '_' stat optimization since it was confusing and
possibly throwing off the non-existent case.

The UTF-8 prerequisite test checked explicitly for en_US.utf8 in the
output from "locale -a", but the tests that are actually protected by the
prerequisite were asking LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 from the system.
This inconsistency leads the tests to fail on platforms that do not know
both en_US.UTF-8 and en_US.utf8 (thanks you, Yann Droneaud, for bringing
this up with an initial patch).
Instead, pick a locale with ".UTF-8" (with or without hyphen, spelled in
either upper or lowercase) in its name from "locale -a" output, and use it
for running the test.

PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and
Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers
and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org
PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and
probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI).
Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI
standalone web server implementation. 'plackup' is a command line
launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web
app to a web server via Plack::Runner module. By default it uses
HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server.
git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb). This
wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI
script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI
standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner.
The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated
gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf).
To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled
Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile. Those modules have to be
available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting
PERL5LIB environment variable). This is currently not documented.

Add generic httpd_is_ready subroutine, which busy-waits for web server to
be started, by checking if $port is opened on localhost. This is used to
avoid situation where web browser is started before web server is ready to
accept connection, and fails.
It uses IO::Socket::INET module, which is core Perl module since v5.6.0.
Alternate solution, possible for those web servers that can run arbitrary
code hooks after they bind the listen socket (after they start accepting
connections), would be to use some kind of blocking mechanism: FIFO or
lockfile, see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/147337/focus=147566
This can be always added later, as a web server specific branch in
httpd_is_ready function.

This way running e.g. "git instaweb" after "git instaweb --stop" would
not try to kill already stopped web server.
This is probably important only for those web servers that are
"daemonized" by git-instaweb itself, i.e. for those where it is
git-instaweb that creates pidfile. Currently it is includes only
'mongoose' web server, but it would also include 'plackup' web server
(added in later commit).

This makes it possible to pass many commits or ranges of
commits to "git cherry-pick" and to "git revert" to process
many commits instead of just one.
In fact commits are now enumerated with an equivalent of
git rev-list --no-walk "$@"
so all the following are now possible:
git cherry-pick master~2..master
git cherry-pick ^master~2 master
git cherry-pick master^ master
The following should be possible but does not work:
git cherry-pick -2 master
because "git rev-list --no-walk -2 master" only outputs
one commit as "--no-walk" seems to take over "-2".
And there is currently no way to continue cherry-picking or
reverting if there is a problem with one commit. It's also
not possible to abort the whole process. Some future work
should provide the --continue and --abort options to do
just that.
