e32db66d7a Documentation: avoid "uninteresting"
The documentation of --boundary uses the term "uninteresting", which is
not used or defined anywhere else in the documentation. This is
unhelpful and confusing to anyone who hasn't seen the UNINTERESTING
flag in the source code.

Change to use "excluded", as per revisions.txt.

f269048754 fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs
When we run a regular "git fetch" without arguments, we
update the tracking refs according to the configured
refspec. However, when we run "git fetch origin master" (or
"git pull origin master"), we do not look at the configured
refspecs at all, and just update FETCH_HEAD.

We miss an opportunity to update "refs/remotes/origin/master"
(or whatever the user has configured). Some users find this
confusing, because they would want to do further comparisons
against the old state of the remote master, like:

  $ git pull origin master
  $ git log HEAD...origin/master

In the currnet code, they are comparing against whatever
commit happened to be in origin/master from the last time
they did a complete "git fetch".  This patch will update a
ref from the RHS of a configured refspec whenever we happen
to be fetching its LHS. That makes the case above work.

The downside is that any users who really care about whether
and when their tracking branches are updated may be
surprised.

4ab90e7a5c fetch/pull doc: untangle meaning of bare <ref>
The documentation erroneously used the same wording for both fetch and
pull, stating that something will be merged even in git-fetch(1).

In addition, saying that "<ref> is equivalent to <ref>:" doesn't
really help anyone who still needs to read manpages.  Clarify what is
actually going on.

335ec3bf41 grep: allow to use textconv filters
Recently and not so recently, we made sure that log/grep type operations
use textconv filters when a userfacing diff would do the same:

ef90ab6 (pickaxe: use textconv for -S counting, 2012-10-28)
b1c2f57 (diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted files, 2012-10-28)
0508fe5 (combine-diff: respect textconv attributes, 2011-05-23)

"git grep" currently does not use textconv filters at all, that is
neither for displaying the match and context nor for the actual grepping,
even when requested by --textconv.

Introduce an option "--textconv" which makes git grep use any configured
textconv filters for grepping and output purposes. It is off by default.

6c374008b1 diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly
The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options.  It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request.  Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:

 * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
   fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.

 * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
   commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
   after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
   touched_flags field;

 * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
   allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
   which bits the user touched;

 * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
   at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
   opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
   machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

a7b102302a git-svn: added an --include-path flag
The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well
as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation
changes and git completion script.

If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you
only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is
difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much
easier to filter for inclusion.

cdfd94837b Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.

The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.

So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

60003340cd clone: allow cloning local paths with colons in them
Usually "foo:bar" is interpreted as an ssh url. This patch allows to
clone from such paths by putting at least one slash before the colon
(i.e. /path/to/foo:bar or just ./foo:bar).

file://foo:bar should also work, but local optimizations are off in
that case, which may be unwanted. While at there, warn the users about
--local being ignored in this case.

af04fa2a78 upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-ids
When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does
not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object
for shallow <obj-id>".  The client may have truncated the history at
the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit
may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this
unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be
sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where
the updated history of the client is cauterised.

The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to
remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it
does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic
because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected
by the server.

fdc97abd4a git add <pathspec>... defaults to "-A"
Make "git add <pathspec>..." notice paths that have been removed
from the working tree, i.e. the same as "git add -A <pathspec>...".

Given that "git add <pathspec>" is to update the index with the
state of the named part of the working tree as a whole, it makes it
more intuitive, and also makes it possible to simplify the advice we
give while marking the paths the user finished resolving conflicts
with.  We used to say "to record removal as a resolution, remove the
path from the working tree and say 'git rm'; for all other cases,
edit the path in the working tree and say 'git add'", but we can now
say "update the path in the working tree and say 'git add'" instead.

function back to add_files_to_cache() function.

9f60f49b92 git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-all
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention
to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"),
the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but
because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is
given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit
"--ignore-removal".  The "--all" option naturally becomes its
negation, "--no-ignore-removal".
