When both howto-index.sh and howto/make-dist.txt exist under
Documentation/ directory, dir_exists() mistakenly checked it
without the trailing slash to see if there was something under
Documentation/howto directory, and did not realize there was,
because '-' sorts earlier than '/' and cache_name_pos() finds
howto-index.sh, which is not under howto/ directory. This
caused --others --directory to show it which was incorrect.
Check the directory name with the trailing slash, because having
an entry that has such as a prefix is what we are looking for.

Darrin Thompson notes that git-ls-files -o reports all the unknown
files it finds in a work area. Subversion and probably other systems
"simply ignore all the files and directories inside an unknown
directory and just note the directory as unknown."
With --directory option, ls-files --others shows untracked directories
without descending into them.

I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags
easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the
facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on
repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much
more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as
well.

I think it is probably a bug that "git non_existent_command"
returns its error message to stdout without an error, where
"git-non_existent_command" behaves differently and does return an
error.
Older versions of git did not implement "git describe" and
GIT-VERSION-GEN produces an empty version string if run on
a system with such a git installed. The consequence
is that "make rpm" fails.
This patch fixes GIT-VERSION-GEN so that it works in the
absence of a working "git describe"

Stupid me.
If approxidate ends up with a month that is ahead of the current month, it
decrements the year to last year.
Which is correct, and means that "last december" does the right thing.
HOWEVER. It should only do so if the year is the same as the current year.
Without this fix, "5 days ago" ends up being in 2004, because it first
decrements five days, getting us to December 2005 (correct), but then it
also ends up decrementing the year once more to turn that December into
"last year" (incorrect, since it already _was_ last year).
Duh. Pass me a donut.

AIX 5 has a /usr/include/regex.h containing this code:

extern char *regex();
extern char *regcmp();
#else /* _NO_PROTO */
extern char *regex(const char *, const char *, ...);
extern char *regcmp(const char *, ...);
#endif /* _NO_PROTO */
This means that repo-config.c is trying to redefine the `regex' symbol.

It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.
Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.
What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b
ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b19.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

This patch converts a stat() to an lstat() call, thereby fixing the case
when the date of a symlink was not the same as the one recorded in the
index. The included test case demonstrates this.
This is for the case that the symlink points to a non-existing file. If
the file exists, worse things than just an error message happen.
