+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.6.4.4
+--------------------
+
+* The workaround for Github server that sometimes gave 500 (Internal server
+ error) response to HEAD requests in 1.6.4.3 introduced a regression that
+ caused re-fetching projects over http to segfault in certain cases due
+ to uninitialized pointer being freed.
+
+* "git pull" on an unborn branch used to consider anything in the work
+ tree and the index discardable.
+
+* "git diff -b/w" did not work well on the incomplete line at the end of
+ the file, due to an incorrect hashing of lines in the low-level xdiff
+ routines.
+
+* "git checkout-index --prefix=$somewhere" used to work when $somewhere is
+ a symbolic link to a directory elsewhere, but v1.6.4.2 broke it.
+
+* "git unpack-objects --strict", invoked when receive.fsckobjects
+ configuration is set in the receiving repository of "git push", did not
+ properly check the objects, especially the submodule links, it received.
+
+Other minor documentation updates are included.

+GIT v1.6.5 Release Notes
+========================
+
+In git 1.7.0, which was planned to be the release after 1.6.5, "git
+push" into a branch that is currently checked out will be refused by
+default.
+
+You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
+configuration variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving
+repository.
+
+Also, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed in a remote
+repository $there, when $killed branch is the current branch pointed at by
+its HEAD, will be refused by default.
+
+You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
+configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving
+repository.
+
+To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
+push running this release will issue a big warning when the
+configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:
+
+ http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
+ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
+
+for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
+transition plan.
+
+Updates since v1.6.4
+--------------------
+
+(subsystems)
+
+ * various updates to gitk, git-svn and gitweb.
+
+(portability)
+
+ * more improvements on mingw port.
+
+ * mingw will also give FRSX as the default value for the LESS
+ environment variable when the user does not have one.
+
+ * initial support to compile git on Windows with MSVC.
+
+(performance)
+
+ * On major platforms, the system can be compiled to use with Linus's
+ block-sha1 implementation of the SHA-1 hash algorithm, which
+ outperforms the default fallback implementation we borrowed from
+ Mozilla.
+
+ * Unnecessary inefficiency in deepening of a shallow repository has
+ been removed.
+
+ * "git clone" does not grab objects that it does not need (i.e.
+ referenced only from refs outside refs/heads and refs/tags
+ hierarchy) anymore.
+
+ * The "git" main binary used to link with libcurl, which then dragged
+ in a large number of external libraries. When using basic plumbing
+ commands in scripts, this unnecessarily slowed things down. We now
+ implement http/https/ftp transfer as a separate executable as we
+ used to.
+
+ * "git clone" run locally hardlinks or copies the files in .git/ to
+ newly created repository. It used to give new mtime to copied files,
+ but this delayed garbage collection to trigger unnecessarily in the
+ cloned repository. We now preserve mtime for these files to avoid
+ this issue.
+
+(usability, bells and whistles)
+
+ * Human writable date format to various options, e.g. --since=yesterday,
+ master@{2000.09.17}, are taught to infer some omitted input properly.
+
+ * A few programs gave verbose "advice" messages to help uninitiated
+ people when issuing error messages. An infrastructure to allow
+ users to squelch them has been introduced, and a few such messages
+ can be silenced now.
+
+ * refs/replace/ hierarchy is designed to be usable as a replacement
+ of the "grafts" mechanism, with the added advantage that it can be
+ transferred across repositories.
+
+ * "git am" learned to optionally ignore whitespace differences.
+
+ * "git am" handles input e-mail files that has CRLF line endings sensibly.
+
+ * "git am" learned "--scissors" option to allow you to discard early part
+ of an incoming e-mail.
+
+ * "git archive -o output.zip" works without being told what format to
+ use with an explicit "--format=zip".option.
+
+ * "git checkout", "git reset" and "git stash" learned to pick and
+ choose to use selected changes you made, similar to "git add -p".
+
+ * "git clone" learned a "-b" option to pick a HEAD to check out
+ different from the remote's default branch.
+
+ * "git clone" learned --recursive option.
+
+ * "git clone" from a local repository on a different filesystem used to
+ copy individual object files without preserving the old timestamp, giving
+ them extra lifetime in the new repository until they gc'ed.
+
+ * "git commit --dry-run $args" is a new recommended way to ask "what would
+ happen if I try to commit with these arguments."
+
+ * "git commit --dry-run" and "git status" shows conflicted paths in a
+ separate section to make them easier to spot during a merge.
+
+ * "git cvsimport" now supports password-protected pserver access even
+ when the password is not taken from ~/.cvspass file.
+
+ * "git fast-export" learned --no-data option that can be useful when
+ reordering commits and trees without touching the contents of
+ blobs.
+
+ * "git fast-import" has a pair of new front-end in contrib/ area.
+
+ * "git init" learned to mkdir/chdir into a directory when given an
+ extra argument (i.e. "git init this").
+
+ * "git instaweb" optionally can use mongoose as the web server.
+
+ * "git log --decorate" can optionally be told with --decorate=full to
+ give the reference name in full.
+
+ * "git merge" issued an unnecessarily scary message when it detected
+ that the merge may have to touch the path that the user has local
+ uncommitted changes to. The message has been reworded to make it
+ clear that the command aborted, without doing any harm.
+
+ * "git push" can be told to be --quiet.
+
+ * "git push" pays attention to url.$base.pushInsteadOf and uses a URL
+ that is derived from the URL used for fetching.
+
+ * informational output from "git reset" that lists the locally modified
+ paths is made consistent with that of "git checkout $another_branch".
+
+ * "git submodule" learned to give submodule name to scripts run with
+ "foreach" subcommand.
+
+ * various subcommands to "git submodule" learned --recursive option.
+
+ * "git submodule summary" learned --files option to compare the work
+ tree vs the commit bound at submodule path, instead of comparing
+ the index.
+
+ * "git upload-pack", which is the server side support for "git clone" and
+ "git fetch", can call a new post-upload-pack hook for statistics purposes.
+
+(developers)
+
+ * With GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/p/a/t/h", tests can be run outside the
+ source directory; using tmpfs may give faster turnaround.
+
+ * With NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER set, DESTDIR= is now honoured, so you can
+ build for one location, and install into another location to tar it
+ up.
+
+Fixes since v1.6.4
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.6.4.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.

+
+NAME
+----
+git-remote-helpers - Helper programs for interoperation with remote git
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git remote-<transport>' <remote>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+These programs are normally not used directly by end users, but are
+invoked by various git programs that interact with remote repositories
+when the repository they would operate on will be accessed using
+transport code not linked into the main git binary. Various particular
+helper programs will behave as documented here.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+Commands are given by the caller on the helper's standard input, one per line.
+
+'capabilities'::
+ Lists the capabilities of the helper, one per line, ending
+ with a blank line.
+
+'list'::
+ Lists the refs, one per line, in the format "<value> <name>
+ [<attr> ...]". The value may be a hex sha1 hash, "@<dest>" for
+ a symref, or "?" to indicate that the helper could not get the
+ value of the ref. A space-separated list of attributes follows
+ the name; unrecognized attributes are ignored. After the
+ complete list, outputs a blank line.
+
+'fetch' <sha1> <name>::
+ Fetches the given object, writing the necessary objects to the
+ database. Outputs a blank line when the fetch is
+ complete. Only objects which were reported in the ref list
+ with a sha1 may be fetched this way.
++
+Supported if the helper has the "fetch" capability.
+
+If a fatal error occurs, the program writes the error message to
+stderr and exits. The caller should expect that a suitable error
+message has been printed if the child closes the connection without
+completing a valid response for the current command.
+
+Additional commands may be supported, as may be determined from
+capabilities reported by the helper.
+
+CAPABILITIES
+------------
+
+'fetch'::
+ This helper supports the 'fetch' command.
+
+REF LIST ATTRIBUTES
+-------------------
+
+None are defined yet, but the caller must accept any which are supplied.

+NAME
+----
+git-replace - Create, list, delete refs to replace objects
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git replace' [-f] <object> <replacement>
+'git replace' -d <object>...
+'git replace' -l [<pattern>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Adds a 'replace' reference in `.git/refs/replace/`
+
+The name of the 'replace' reference is the SHA1 of the object that is
+replaced. The content of the replace reference is the SHA1 of the
+replacement object.
+
+Unless `-f` is given, the replace reference must not yet exist in
+`.git/refs/replace/` directory.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-f::
+ If an existing replace ref for the same object exists, it will
+ be overwritten (instead of failing).
+
+-d::
+ Delete existing replace refs for the given objects.
+
+-l <pattern>::
+ List replace refs for objects that match the given pattern (or
+ all if no pattern is given).
+ Typing "git replace" without arguments, also lists all replace
+ refs.
+
+BUGS
+----
+Comparing blobs or trees that have been replaced with those that
+replace them will not work properly. And using 'git reset --hard' to
+go back to a replaced commit will move the branch to the replacement
+commit instead of the replaced commit.
+
+There may be other problems when using 'git rev-list' related to
+pending objects. And of course things may break if an object of one
+type is replaced by an object of another type (for example a blob
+replaced by a commit).

+
+NAME
+----
+gittutorial - Um tutorial de introdução ao git (para versão 1.5.1 ou mais nova)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+git *
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Este tutorial explica como importar um novo projeto para o git,
+adicionar mudanças a ele, e compartilhar mudanças com outros
+desenvolvedores.
+
+Se, ao invés disso, você está interessado primariamente em usar git para
+obter um projeto, por exemplo, para testar a última versão, você pode
+preferir começar com os primeiros dois capítulos de
+link:user-manual.html[O Manual do Usuário Git].
+
+Primeiro, note que você pode obter documentação para um comando como
+`git log --graph` com:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ man git-log
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ou:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git help log
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Com a última forma, você pode usar o visualizador de manual de sua
+escolha; veja linkgit:git-help[1] para maior informação.
+
+É uma boa idéia informar ao git seu nome e endereço público de email
+antes de fazer qualquer operação. A maneira mais fácil de fazê-lo é:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git config --global user.name "Seu Nome Vem Aqui"
+$ git config --global user.email voce@seudominio.exemplo.com
+------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Importando um novo projeto
+-----------------------
+
+Assuma que você tem um tarball project.tar.gz com seu trabalho inicial.
+Você pode colocá-lo sob controle de revisão git da seguinte forma:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ tar xzf project.tar.gz
+$ cd project
+$ git init
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Git irá responder
+
+------------------------------------------------
+Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Você agora iniciou seu diretório de trabalho--você deve ter notado um
+novo diretório criado, com o nome de ".git".
+
+A seguir, diga ao git para gravar um instantâneo do conteúdo de todos os
+arquivos sob o diretório corrente (note o '.'), com 'git-add':
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git add .
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Este instantâneo está agora armazenado em uma área temporária que o git
+chama de "index" ou índice. Você pode armazenar permanentemente o
+conteúdo do índice no repositório com 'git-commit':
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git commit
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Isto vai te pedir por uma mensagem de commit. Você agora gravou sua
+primeira versão de seu projeto no git.
+
+Fazendo mudanças
+--------------
+
+Modifique alguns arquivos, e, então, adicione seu conteúdo atualizado ao
+índice:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git add file1 file2 file3
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Você está agora pronto para fazer o commit. Você pode ver o que está
+para ser gravado usando 'git-diff' com a opção --cached:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git diff --cached
+------------------------------------------------
+
+(Sem --cached, o comando 'git-diff' irá te mostrar quaisquer mudanças
+que você tenha feito mas ainda não adicionou ao índice.) Você também
+pode obter um breve sumário da situação com 'git-status':
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git status
+# On branch master
+# Changes to be committed:
+# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
+#
+# modified: file1
+# modified: file2
+# modified: file3
+#
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Se você precisar fazer qualquer outro ajuste, faça-o agora, e, então,
+adicione qualquer conteúdo modificado ao índice. Finalmente, grave suas
+mudanças com:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git commit
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Isto irá novamente te pedir por uma mensagem descrevendo a mudança, e,
+então, gravar a nova versão do projeto.
+
+Alternativamente, ao invés de executar 'git-add' antes, você pode usar
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git commit -a
+------------------------------------------------
+
+o que irá automaticamente notar quaisquer arquivos modificados (mas não
+novos), adicioná-los ao índices, e gravar, tudo em um único passo.
+
+Uma nota em mensagens de commit: Apesar de não ser exigido, é uma boa
+idéia começar a mensagem com uma simples e curta (menos de 50
+caracteres) linha sumarizando a mudança, seguida de uma linha em branco
+e, então, uma descrição mais detalhada. Ferramentas que transformam
+commits em email, por exemplo, usam a primeira linha no campo de
+cabeçalho Subject: e o resto no corpo.
+
+Git rastreia conteúdo, não arquivos
+----------------------------
+
+Muitos sistemas de controle de revisão provêem um comando `add` que diz
+ao sistema para começar a rastrear mudanças em um novo arquivo. O
+comando `add` do git faz algo mais simples e mais poderoso: 'git-add' é
+usado tanto para arquivos novos e arquivos recentemente modificados, e
+em ambos os casos, ele tira o instantâneo dos arquivos dados e armazena
+o conteúdo no índice, pronto para inclusão do próximo commit.
+
+Visualizando história do projeto
+-----------------------
+
+Em qualquer ponto você pode visualizar a história das suas mudanças
+usando
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git log
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Se você também quer ver a diferença completa a cada passo, use
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git log -p
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Geralmente, uma visão geral da mudança é útil para ter a sensação de
+cada passo
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git log --stat --summary
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Gerenciando "branches"/ramos
+-----------------
+
+Um simples repositório git pode manter múltiplos ramos de
+desenvolvimento. Para criar um novo ramo chamado "experimental", use
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git branch experimental
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Se você executar agora
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git branch
+------------------------------------------------
+
+você vai obter uma lista de todos os ramos existentes:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+ experimental
+* master
+------------------------------------------------
+
+O ramo "experimental" é o que você acaba de criar, e o ramo "master" é o
+ramo padrão que foi criado pra você automaticamente. O asterisco marca
+o ramo em que você está atualmente; digite
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git checkout experimental
+------------------------------------------------
+
+para mudar para o ramo experimental. Agora edite um arquivo, grave a
+mudança, e mude de volta para o ramo master:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+(edita arquivo)
+$ git commit -a
+$ git checkout master
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Verifique que a mudança que você fez não está mais visível, já que ela
+foi feita no ramo experimental e você está de volta ao ramo master.
+
+Você pode fazer uma mudança diferente no ramo master:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+(edit file)
+$ git commit -a
+------------------------------------------------
+
+neste ponto, os dois ramos divergiram, com diferentes mudanças feitas em
+cada um. Para unificar as mudanças feitas no experimental para o
+master, execute
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git merge experimental
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Se as mudanças não conflitarem, estará pronto. Se existirem conflitos,
+marcadores serão deixados nos arquivos problemáticos exibindo o
+conflito;
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git diff
+------------------------------------------------
+
+vai exibir isto. Após você editar os arquivos para resolver os
+conflitos,
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git commit -a
+------------------------------------------------
+
+irá gravar o resultado da unificação. Finalmente,
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ gitk
+------------------------------------------------
+
+vai mostrar uma bela representação gráfica da história resultante.
+
+Neste ponto você pode remover seu ramo experimental com
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git branch -d experimental
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Este comando garante que as mudanças no ramo experimental já estão no
+ramo atual.
+
+Se você desenvolve em um ramo ideia-louca, e se arrepende, você pode
+sempre remover o ramo com
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git branch -D ideia-louca
+-------------------------------------
+
+Ramos são baratos e fáceis, então isto é uma boa maneira de experimentar
+alguma coisa.
+
+Usando git para colaboração
+---------------------------
+
+Suponha que Alice começou um novo projeto com um repositório git em
+/home/alice/project, e que Bob, que tem um diretório home na mesma
+máquina, quer contribuir.
+
+Bob começa com:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+bob$ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Isso cria um novo diretório "myrepo" contendo um clone do repositório de
+Alice. O clone está no mesmo pé que o projeto original, possuindo sua
+própria cópia da história do projeto original.
+
+Bob então faz algumas mudanças e as grava:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+(editar arquivos)
+bob$ git commit -a
+(repetir conforme necessário)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Quanto está pronto, ele diz a Alice para puxar as mudanças do
+repositório em /home/bob/myrepo. Ela o faz com:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+alice$ cd /home/alice/project
+alice$ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Isto unifica as mudanças do ramo "master" do Bob ao ramo atual de Alice.
+Se Alice fez suas próprias mudanças no intervalo, ela, então, pode
+precisar corrigir manualmente quaisquer conflitos. (Note que o argumento
+"master" no comando acima é, de fato, desnecessário, já que é o padrão.)
+
+O comando "pull" executa, então, duas operações: ele obtém mudanças de
+um ramo remoto, e, então, as unifica no ramo atual.
+
+Note que, em geral, Alice gostaria que suas mudanças locais fossem
+gravadas antes de iniciar este "pull". Se o trabalho de Bob conflita
+com o que Alice fez desde que suas histórias se ramificaram, Alice irá
+usar seu diretório de trabalho e o índice para resolver conflitos, e
+mudanças locais existentes irão interferir com o processo de resolução
+de conflitos (git ainda irá realizar a obtenção mas irá se recusar a
+unificar --- Alice terá que se livrar de suas mudanças locais de alguma
+forma e puxar de novo quando isso acontecer).
+
+Alice pode espiar o que Bob fez sem unificar primeiro, usando o comando
+"fetch"; isto permite Alice inspecionar o que Bob fez, usando um símbolo
+especial "FETCH_HEAD", com o fim de determinar se ele tem alguma coisa
+que vale puxar, assim:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+alice$ git fetch /home/bob/myrepo master
+alice$ git log -p HEAD..FETCH_HEAD
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Esta operação é segura mesmo se Alice tem mudanças locais não gravadas.
+A notação de intervalo "HEAD..FETCH_HEAD" significa mostrar tudo que é
+alcançável de FETCH_HEAD mas exclua tudo o que é alcançável de HEAD.
+Alice já sabe tudo que leva a seu estado atual (HEAD), e revisa o que Bob
+tem em seu estado (FETCH_HEAD) que ela ainda não viu com esse comando.
+
+Se Alice quer visualizar o que Bob fez desde que suas histórias se
+ramificaram, ela pode disparar o seguinte comando:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ gitk HEAD..FETCH_HEAD
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Isto usa a mesma notação de intervalo que vimos antes com 'git log'.
+
+Alice pode querer ver o que ambos fizeram desde que ramificaram. Ela
+pode usar a forma com três pontos ao invés da forma com dois pontos:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ gitk HEAD...FETCH_HEAD
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Isto significa "mostre tudo que é alcançável de qualquer um deles, mas
+exclua tudo que é alcançável a partir de ambos".
+
+Por favor, note que essas notações de intervalo podem ser usadas tanto
+com gitk quanto com "git log".
+
+Após inspecionar o que Bob fez, se não há nada urgente, Alice pode
+decidir continuar trabalhando sem puxar de Bob. Se a história de Bob
+tem alguma coisa que Alice precisa imediatamente, Alice pode optar por
+separar seu trabalho em progresso primeiro, fazer um "pull", e, então,
+finalmente, retomar seu trabalho em progresso em cima da história
+resultante.
+
+Quando você está trabalhando em um pequeno grupo unido, não é incomum
+interagir com o mesmo repositório várias e várias vezes. Definindo um
+repositório remoto antes de tudo, você pode fazê-lo mais facilmente:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+alice$ git remote add bob /home/bob/myrepo
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Com isso, Alice pode executar a primeira parte da operação "pull" usando
+o comando 'git-fetch' sem unificar suas mudanças com seu próprio ramo,
+usando:
+
+-------------------------------------
+alice$ git fetch bob
+-------------------------------------
+
+Diferente da forma longa, quando Alice obteve de Bob usando um
+repositório remoto antes definido com 'git-remote', o que foi obtido é
+armazenado em um ramo remoto, neste caso `bob/master`. Então, após isso:
+
+-------------------------------------
+alice$ git log -p master..bob/master
+-------------------------------------
+
+mostra uma lista de todas as mudanças que Bob fez desde que ramificou do
+ramo master de Alice.
+
+Após examinar essas mudanças, Alice pode unificá-las em seu ramo master:
+
+-------------------------------------
+alice$ git merge bob/master
+-------------------------------------
+
+Esse `merge` pode também ser feito puxando de seu próprio ramo remoto,
+assim:
+
+-------------------------------------
+alice$ git pull . remotes/bob/master
+-------------------------------------
+
+Note que 'git pull' sempre unifica ao ramo atual, independente do que
+mais foi passado na linha de comando.
+
+Depois, Bob pode atualizar seu repositório com as últimas mudanças de
+Alice, usando
+
+-------------------------------------
+bob$ git pull
+-------------------------------------
+
+Note que ele não precisa dar o caminho do repositório de Alice; quando
+Bob clonou seu repositório, o git armazenou a localização de seu
+repositório na configuração do mesmo, e essa localização é usada
+para puxar:
+
+-------------------------------------
+bob$ git config --get remote.origin.url
+/home/alice/project
+-------------------------------------
+
+(A configuração completa criada por 'git-clone' é visível usando `git
+config -l`, e a página de manual linkgit:git-config[1] explica o
+significado de cada opção.)
+
+Git também mantém uma cópia limpa do ramo master de Alice sob o nome
+"origin/master":
+
+-------------------------------------
+bob$ git branch -r
+ origin/master
+-------------------------------------
+
+Se Bob decidir depois em trabalhar em um host diferente, ele ainda pode
+executar clones e puxar usando o protocolo ssh:
+
+-------------------------------------
+bob$ git clone alice.org:/home/alice/project myrepo
+-------------------------------------
+
+Alternativamente, o git tem um protocolo nativo, ou pode usar rsync ou
+http; veja linkgit:git-pull[1] para detalhes.
+
+Git pode também ser usado em um modo parecido com CVS, com um
+repositório central para o qual vários usuários empurram modificações;
+veja linkgit:git-push[1] e linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7].
+
+Explorando história
+-----------------
+
+A história no git é representada como uma série de commits
+interrelacionados. Nós já vimos que o comando 'git-log' pode listar
+esses commits. Note que a primeira linha de cada entrada no log também
+dá o nome para o commit:
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git log
+commit c82a22c39cbc32576f64f5c6b3f24b99ea8149c7
+Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
+Date: Tue May 16 17:18:22 2006 -0700
+
+ merge-base: Clarify the comments on post processing.
+-------------------------------------
+
+Nós podemos dar este nome ao 'git-show' para ver os detalhes sobre este
+commit.
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git show c82a22c39cbc32576f64f5c6b3f24b99ea8149c7
+-------------------------------------
+
+Mas há outras formas de se referir aos commits. Você pode usar qualquer
+parte inicial do nome que seja longo o bastante para identificar
+unicamente o commit:
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git show c82a22c39c # os primeiros caracteres do nome são o bastante
+ # usualmente
+$ git show HEAD # a ponta do ramo atual
+$ git show experimental # a ponta do ramo "experimental"
+-------------------------------------
+
+Todo commit normalmente tem um commit "pai" que aponta para o estado
+anterior do projeto:
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git show HEAD^ # para ver o pai de HEAD
+$ git show HEAD^^ # para ver o avô de HEAD
+$ git show HEAD~4 # para ver o trisavô de HEAD
+-------------------------------------
+
+Note que commits de unificação podem ter mais de um pai:
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git show HEAD^1 # mostra o primeiro pai de HEAD (o mesmo que HEAD^)
+$ git show HEAD^2 # mostra o segundo pai de HEAD
+-------------------------------------
+
+Você também pode dar aos commits nomes à sua escolha; após executar
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git tag v2.5 1b2e1d63ff
+-------------------------------------
+
+você pode se referir a 1b2e1d63ff pelo nome "v2.5". Se você pretende
+compartilhar esse nome com outras pessoas (por exemplo, para identificar
+uma versão de lançamento), você deveria criar um objeto "tag", e talvez
+assiná-lo; veja linkgit:git-tag[1] para detalhes.
+
+Qualquer comando git que precise conhecer um commit pode receber
+quaisquer desses nomes. Por exemplo:
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git diff v2.5 HEAD # compara o HEAD atual com v2.5
+$ git branch stable v2.5 # inicia um novo ramo chamado "stable" baseado
+ # em v2.5
+$ git reset --hard HEAD^ # reseta seu ramo atual e seu diretório de
+ # trabalho a seu estado em HEAD^
+-------------------------------------
+
+Seja cuidadoso com o último comando: além de perder quaisquer mudanças
+em seu diretório de trabalho, ele também remove todos os commits
+posteriores desse ramo. Se esse ramo é o único ramo contendo esses
+commits, eles serão perdidos. Também, não use 'git-reset' num ramo
+publicamente visível de onde outros desenvolvedores puxam, já que vai
+forçar unificações desnecessárias para que outros desenvolvedores limpem
+a história. Se você precisa desfazer mudanças que você empurrou, use
+'git-revert' no lugar.
+
+O comando 'git-grep' pode buscar strings em qualquer versão de seu
+projeto, então
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git grep "hello" v2.5
+-------------------------------------
+
+procura por todas as ocorrências de "hello" em v2.5.
+
+Se você deixar de fora o nome do commit, 'git-grep' irá procurar
+quaisquer dos arquivos que ele gerencia no diretório corrente. Então
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git grep "hello"
+-------------------------------------
+
+é uma forma rápida de buscar somente os arquivos que são rastreados pelo
+git.
+
+Muitos comandos git também recebem um conjunto de commits, o que pode
+ser especificado de várias formas. Aqui estão alguns exemplos com 'git-log':
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git log v2.5..v2.6 # commits entre v2.5 e v2.6
+$ git log v2.5.. # commits desde v2.5
+$ git log --since="2 weeks ago" # commits das últimas 2 semanas
+$ git log v2.5.. Makefile # commits desde v2.5 que modificam
+ # Makefile
+-------------------------------------
+
+Você também pode dar ao 'git-log' um "intervalo" de commits onde o
+primeiro não é necessariamente um ancestral do segundo; por exemplo, se
+as pontas dos ramos "stable" e "master" divergiram de um commit
+comum algum tempo atrás, então
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git log stable..master
+-------------------------------------
+
+irá listar os commits feitos no ramo "master" mas não no ramo
+"stable", enquanto
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git log master..stable
+-------------------------------------
+
+irá listar a lista de commits feitos no ramo "stable" mas não no ramo
+"master".
+
+O comando 'git-log' tem uma fraqueza: ele precisa mostrar os commits em
+uma lista. Quando a história tem linhas de desenvolvimento que
+divergiram e então foram unificadas novamente, a ordem em que 'git-log'
+apresenta essas mudanças é irrelevante.
+
+A maioria dos projetos com múltiplos contribuidores (como o kernel
+Linux, ou o próprio git) tem unificações frequentes, e 'gitk' faz um
+trabalho melhor de visualizar sua história. Por exemplo,
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ gitk --since="2 weeks ago" drivers/
+-------------------------------------
+
+permite a você navegar em quaisquer commits desde as últimas duas semanas
+de commits que modificaram arquivos sob o diretório "drivers". (Nota:
+você pode ajustar as fontes do gitk segurando a tecla control enquanto
+pressiona "-" ou "+".)
+
+Finalmente, a maioria dos comandos que recebem nomes de arquivo permitirão
+também, opcionalmente, preceder qualquer nome de arquivo por um
+commit, para especificar uma versão particular do arquivo:
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git diff v2.5:Makefile HEAD:Makefile.in
+-------------------------------------
+
+Você pode usar 'git-show' para ver tal arquivo:
+
+-------------------------------------
+$ git show v2.5:Makefile
+-------------------------------------
+
+Próximos passos
+----------
+
+Este tutorial deve ser o bastante para operar controle de revisão
+distribuído básico para seus projetos. No entanto, para entender
+plenamente a profundidade e o poder do git você precisa entender duas
+idéias simples nas quais ele se baseia:
+
+ * A base de objetos é um sistema bem elegante usado para armazenar a
+ história de seu projeto--arquivos, diretórios, e commits.
+
+ * O arquivo de índice é um cache do estado de uma árvore de diretório,
+ usado para criar commits, restaurar diretórios de trabalho, e
+ armazenar as várias árvores envolvidas em uma unificação.
+
+A parte dois deste tutorial explica a base de objetos, o arquivo de
+índice, e algumas outras coisinhas que você vai precisar pra usar o
+máximo do git. Você pode encontrá-la em linkgit:gittutorial-2[7].
+
+Se você não quiser continuar com o tutorial agora nesse momento, algumas
+outras digressões que podem ser interessantes neste ponto são:
+
+ * linkgit:git-format-patch[1], linkgit:git-am[1]: Estes convertem
+ séries de commits em patches para email, e vice-versa, úteis para
+ projetos como o kernel Linux que dependem fortemente de patches
+ enviados por email.
+
+ * linkgit:git-bisect[1]: Quando há uma regressão em seu projeto, uma
+ forma de rastrear um bug é procurando pela história para encontrar o
+ commit culpado. Git bisect pode ajudar a executar uma busca binária
+ por esse commit. Ele é inteligente o bastante para executar uma
+ busca próxima da ótima mesmo no caso de uma história complexa
+ não-linear com muitos ramos unificados.

tree walking API
================
-Talk about <tree-walk.h>, things like
+The tree walking API is used to traverse and inspect trees.
-* struct tree_desc
-* init_tree_desc
-* tree_entry_extract
-* update_tree_entry
-* get_tree_entry
+Data Structures
+---------------
-(JC, Linus)
+`struct name_entry`::
+
+ An entry in a tree. Each entry has a sha1 identifier, pathname, and
+ mode.
+
+`struct tree_desc`::
+
+ A semi-opaque data structure used to maintain the current state of the
+ walk.
++
+* `buffer` is a pointer into the memory representation of the tree. It always
+points at the current entry being visited.
+
+* `size` counts the number of bytes left in the `buffer`.
+
+* `entry` points to the current entry being visited.
+
+`struct traverse_info`::
+
+ A structure used to maintain the state of a traversal.
++
+* `prev` points to the traverse_info which was used to descend into the
+current tree. If this is the top-level tree `prev` will point to
+a dummy traverse_info.
+
+* `name` is the entry for the current tree (if the tree is a subtree).
+
+* `pathlen` is the length of the full path for the current tree.
+
+* `conflicts` can be used by callbacks to maintain directory-file conflicts.
+
+* `fn` is a callback called for each entry in the tree. See Traversing for more
+information.
+
+* `data` can be anything the `fn` callback would want to use.
+
+Initializing
+------------
+
+`init_tree_desc`::
+
+ Initialize a `tree_desc` and decode its first entry. The buffer and
+ size parameters are assumed to be the same as the buffer and size
+ members of `struct tree`.
+
+`fill_tree_descriptor`::
+
+ Initialize a `tree_desc` and decode its first entry given the sha1 of
+ a tree. Returns the `buffer` member if the sha1 is a valid tree
+ identifier and NULL otherwise.
+
+`setup_traverse_info`::
+
+ Initialize a `traverse_info` given the pathname of the tree to start
+ traversing from. The `base` argument is assumed to be the `path`
+ member of the `name_entry` being recursed into unless the tree is a
+ top-level tree in which case the empty string ("") is used.
+
+Walking
+-------
+
+`tree_entry`::
+
+ Visit the next entry in a tree. Returns 1 when there are more entries
+ left to visit and 0 when all entries have been visited. This is
+ commonly used in the test of a while loop.
+
+`tree_entry_len`::
+
+ Calculate the length of a tree entry's pathname. This utilizes the
+ memory structure of a tree entry to avoid the overhead of using a
+ generic strlen().
+
+`update_tree_entry`::
+
+ Walk to the next entry in a tree. This is commonly used in conjunction
+ with `tree_entry_extract` to inspect the current entry.
+
+`tree_entry_extract`::
+
+ Decode the entry currently being visited (the one pointed to by
+ `tree_desc's` `entry` member) and return the sha1 of the entry. The
+ `pathp` and `modep` arguments are set to the entry's pathname and mode
+ respectively.
+
+`get_tree_entry`::
+
+ Find an entry in a tree given a pathname and the sha1 of a tree to
+ search. Returns 0 if the entry is found and -1 otherwise. The third
+ and fourth parameters are set to the entry's sha1 and mode
+ respectively.
+
+Traversing
+----------
+
+`traverse_trees`::
+
+ Traverse `n` number of trees in parallel. The `fn` callback member of
+ `traverse_info` is called once for each tree entry.
+
+`traverse_callback_t`::
+ The arguments passed to the traverse callback are as follows:
++
+* `n` counts the number of trees being traversed.
+
+* `mask` has its nth bit set if something exists in the nth entry.
+
+* `dirmask` has its nth bit set if the nth tree's entry is a directory.
+
+* `entry` is an array of size `n` where the nth entry is from the nth tree.
+
+* `info` maintains the state of the traversal.
+
++
+Returning a negative value will terminate the traversal. Otherwise the
+return value is treated as an update mask. If the nth bit is set the nth tree
+will be updated and if the bit is not set the nth tree entry will be the
+same in the next callback invocation.
+
+`make_traverse_path`::
+
+ Generate the full pathname of a tree entry based from the root of the
+ traversal. For example, if the traversal has recursed into another
+ tree named "bar" the pathname of an entry "baz" in the "bar"
+ tree would be "bar/baz".
+
+`traverse_path_len`::
+
+ Calculate the length of a pathname returned by `make_traverse_path`.
+ This utilizes the memory structure of a tree entry to avoid the
+ overhead of using a generic strlen().
