The "Try to be nice to older C compilers" text is clearly a guideline
to be borne in mind whilst coding rather than when submitting patches.

Conscientious newcomers to git development will read SubmittingPatches
and CodingGuidelines, but could easily miss the convention of
prefixing commit messages with a single word identifying the file
or area the commit touches.

Email addresses in documentation are converted into mailto: hyperlinks
in the HTML output and footnotes in man pages. This isn't desirable for
cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid.
Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears
in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying:
1. jane@laptop
mailto:jane@laptop
Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to
prevent Asciidoc expanding them as inline macros.
In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it
matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

In remote-test-svn, there is a parse_rev_note function to
parse lines of the form "Revision-number" from notes. If it
finds such a line and parses it, it returns 0, copying the
value into a "struct rev_note". If it finds an entry that is
garbled or out of range, it returns -1 to signal an error.
However, if it does not find any "Revision-number" line at
all, it returns success but does not put anything into the
rev_note. So upon a successful return, the rev_note may or
may not be initialized, and the caller has no way of
knowing.
gcc does not usually catch the use of the unitialized
variable because the conditional assignment happens in a
separate function from the point of use. However, when
compiling with -O3, gcc will inline parse_rev_note and
notice the problem.
We can fix it by returning "-1" when no note is found (so on
a zero return, we always found a valid value).

A cache-tree entry with a negative entry count is considered invalid
by the current Git; it records that we do not know the object name
of a tree that would result by writing the directory covered by the
cache-tree as a tree object.
Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but
the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later
decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to
encode optional information on such invalidated entries without
harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and
how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

This version changes quite a few things:
1. The original parsed the mailmap file itself, and it did
it wrong (it did not understand entries with an extra
email key).
Instead, this version uses git's "%aE" and "%aN"
formats to have git perform the mapping, meaning we do
not have to read .mailmap at all, but still operate on
the current state that git sees (and it also works
properly from subdirs).
2. The original would find multiple names for an email,
but not the other way around.
This version can do either or both. If we find multiple
emails for a name, the resolution is less obvious than
the other way around. However, it can still be a
starting point for a human to investigate.
3. The original would order only by count, not by recency.
This version can do either. Combined with showing the
counts, it can be easier to decide how to resolve.
4. This version shows similar entries in a blank-delimited
stanza, which makes it more clear which options you are
picking from.

Linus used a lot of different per-machine email addresses in

old and new email addresses need to appear for one to be

name).

This patch updates git's .mailmap in cases where multiple
names are matched to a single email. The "master" name for
each email was chosen by:
1. If the only difference is in the presence or absence
of accented characters, the accented form is chosen
(under the assumption that it is the natural spelling,
and accents are sometimes stripped in email).
2. Otherwise, the most commonly used name is chosen.
3. If all names are equally common, the most recently used name is
chosen.

* so/prompt-command:
git-prompt.sh: update PROMPT_COMMAND documentation
|
|
The description of __git_ps1 function operating in two-arg mode was
not very clear. It said "set PROMPT_COMMAND=__git_ps1" which is not
the right usage for this mode, followed by "To customize the prompt,
do this", giving a false impression that those who do not want to
customize it can get away with no-arg form, which was incorrect.
Make it clear that this mode always takes two arguments, pre and
post, with an example.
The straight-forward one should be listed as the primary usage, and
the confusing one should be an alternate for advanced users. Swap
the order of these two.

For bash completion, the option '-o bashdefault' is used to indicate
that when no other choices are available, file completion should be
performed. Since this option is not available in tcsh, no file
completion is ever performed. Therefore, commands like 'git add ',
'git send-email ', etc, require the user to manually type out
the file name. This can be quite annoying.
To improve the user experience we try to simulate file completion
directly in this script (although not perfectly).
The known issues with the file completion simulation are:
- Possible completions are shown with their directory prefix.
- Completions containing shell variables are not handled.
- Completions with ~ as the first character are not handled.

in ab1a11be ("mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate"),
a check was added to prevent us from retrying to delete a directory
that is both in use and non-empty.
However, this logic was slightly flawed; since we didn't return
immediately, we end up falling out of the retry-loop, but right into
the prompting-loop.
Fix this by setting errno, and guarding the prompting-loop with an
errno-check.

Various codepaths checked if two encoding names are the same using
ad-hoc code and some of them ended up asking iconv() to convert
between "utf8" and "UTF-8". The former is not a valid way to spell
the encoding name, but often people use it by mistake, and we
equated them in some but not all codepaths. Introduce a new helper
function to make these codepaths consistent.

The documentation was misleading in that it gave the impression that
'for-push' could be used as a ref attribute in the output of the
'list' command. That is wrong.
Also, explicitly point out the connection between the commands
'list' and 'options' on the one hand, and the sections
'REF LIST ATTRIBUTES' and 'OPTIONS' on the other hand.

In particular, document 'list for-push' separately from 'list', as
the former needs only be supported for the push/export
capabilities, and the latter only for fetch/import. Indeed, a
hypothetically 'push-only' helper would only need to support the
former, not the latter.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.
