J. Bruce Fields fc74ecc12c user-manual: don't assume refs are stored under .git/refs
The scripts taken from Tony Luck's howto assume all refs can be found
under .git/refs, but this is not necessarily true, especially since
git-gc runs git-pack-refs.

Also add a note warning of this in the chapter that introduces refs, and
fix the same incorrect assumption in one other spot.

Sam Vilain ffab62681c git-svn: handle changed svn command-line syntax
Previously, if you passed a revision and a path to svn cp, it meant to look
back at that revision and select that path.  New behaviour is to get the
path then go back to the revision (like other commands that accept @REV
or -rREV do).  The more consistent syntax is not supported by the old
tools, so we have to try both in turn.

Johannes Schindelin 7a98869935 apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestor
git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions
of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive
three-way merge.

This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index
information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in
the current repository.

Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an
index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it
themselves.

The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to
use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.

Josh England af6fb4c822 Added example hook script to save/restore permissions/ownership.
Usage info is emebed in the script, but the gist of it is to run the script
from a pre-commit hook to save permissions/ownership data to a file and check
that file into the repository.  Then, a post_merge hook reads the file and
updates working tree permissions/ownership.  All updates are transparent to
the user (although there is a --verbose option).  Merge conflicts are handled
in the "read" phase (in pre-commit), and the script aborts the commit and
tells you how to fix things in the case of a merge conflict in the metadata
file.  This same idea could be extended to handle file ACLs or other file
metadata if desired.

Josh England 46232915d5 Add post-merge hook, related documentation, and tests.
The post-merge hook enables one to hook in for `git pull` operations in order
to check and/or change attributes of a work tree from the hook.  As an example,
it can be used in combination with a pre-commit hook to save/restore file
ownership and permissions data (or file ACLs) within the repository and
transparently update the working tree after a `git pull` operation.

Väinö Järvelä 8ae674952c Fixed update-hook example allow-users format.
The example provided with the update-hook-example does not work on
either bash 2.05b.0(1)-release nor 3.1.17(1)-release. The matcher did
not match the lines that it advertised to match, such as:

refs/heads/bw/        linus
refs/heads/tmp/*      *

In POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions, the star (*), is not an wildcard
meaning "match everything", it matches 0 or more matches of the atom
preceding it.

So to match "refs/heads/bw/topic-branch", the matcher should be written
as "refs/heads/bw/.*" to match "refs/heads/bw/" and everything after it.

Junio C Hamano cba8d48961 git-commit: partial commit of paths only removed from the index
Because a partial commit is meant to be a way to ignore what are
staged in the index, "git rm --cached A && git commit A" should
just record what is in A on the filesystem.  The previous patch
made the command sequence to barf, saying that A has not been
added yet.  This fixes it.

Junio C Hamano 64586e75af git-commit: Allow partial commit of file removal.
When making a partial commit, git-commit uses git-ls-files with
the --error-unmatch option to expand and sanity check the user
supplied path patterns.  When any path pattern does not match
with the paths known to the index, it errors out, in order to
catch a common mistake to say "git commit Makefiel cache.h"
and end up with a commit that touches only cache.h (notice the
misspelled "Makefile").  This detection however does not work
well when the path has already been removed from the index.

If you drop a path from the index and try to commit that
partially, i.e.

	$ git rm COPYING
	$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING

the command complains because git does not know anything about
COPYING anymore.

This introduces a new option --with-tree to git-ls-files and
uses it in git-commit when we build a temporary index to
write a tree object for the partial commit.

When --with-tree=<tree-ish> option is specified, names from the
given tree are added to the set of names the index knows about,
so we can treat COPYING file in the example as known.

Of course, there is no reason to use "git rm" and git-aware
people have long time done:

	$ rm COPYING
	$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING

which works just fine.  But this caused a constant confusion.

Junio C Hamano be510cfef3 send-email: make message-id generation a bit more robust
Earlier code took Unix time and appended a few random digits.
If you are firing off many messages within a second, you could
issue the same id to different messages, which is a no-no.  If
you send out 31 messages within a single second, with random
integer taken out of rand(4200), you have about 10% chance of
producing the same message ID.

This fixes the problem by uses a prefix string which is
constant-per-invocation (time and pid), with a serial number for
each message generated by the process appended at the end.

The algorithm isn't right here: it accumulates any set of 8 spaces into

	<four spaces><tab><four spaces><tab>

is converted to

when it should be just

Shawn O. Pearce 3849bfba84 git-gui: Disable native platform text selection in "lists"
Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox.
This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left
of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better
choice then the native listbox widget.

In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection
we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region
and we perform our own selection management in the background
via keybindings and mouse bindings.  In such uses we don't want
the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by
dragging their mouse through the text widget.  Doing so creates a
very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may
mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget.

Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally
to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it
invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties
as unselected text.  So long as we don't actually use the "sel"
tag for anything in code its effectively invisible.

"git diff" does not record index lines for pure mode changes (i.e. no

Instead, fall back to reading the info from the current index.

Incidentally, this fixes an error where git-rebase would not rebase a
commit including a pure mode change, and changes requiring a threeway
merge.

J. Bruce Fields 40dac517ee documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapter
The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures.  Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.

So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and
a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual.  It's
unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long
time, as some people may still depend on finding it there.  But I think
we'll want to do this some day anyway.
