So far it just reads the header and generates the list of objects.
It also sorts them by the order they are written in the pack file,
since that ends up being the same order we got them originally, and
is thus "most recent first".
This is kind of like a tar-ball for a set of objects, ready to be
shipped off to another end. Alternatively, you could use is as a packed
representation of the object database directly, if you changed
"read_sha1_file()" to read these kinds of packs.
The latter is partiularly useful to generate a "packed history", ie you
could pack up your old history efficiently, but still have it available
(at a performance hit, of course).
I haven't actually written an unpacker yet, so the end result has not
been verified in any way yet. I obviously always write bug-free code,
so it just has to work, no?

When you do
git-rev-list --objects $(git-rev-parse HEAD^..HEAD)
it now lists not only the "commit difference" between the parent of HEAD
and HEAD itself (which is normally just the parent, but in the case of a
merge will be all the newly merged commits), but also all the new tree
and blob objects that weren't in the original.
NOTE! It doesn't walk all the way to the root, so it doesn't do a full
object search in the full old history. Instead, it will only look as
far back in the history as it needs to resolve the commits. Thus, if
the commit reverts a blob (or tree) back to a state much further back in
history, we may end up listing some blobs (or trees) as "new" even
though they exist further back.
Regardless, the list of objects will be a superset (usually exact) list
of objects needed to go from the beginning commit to ending commit.
As a particularly obvious special case,
git-rev-list --objects HEAD
will end up listing every single object that is reachable from the HEAD
commit.
Side note: the objects are sorted by "recency", with commits first.
Right-click on a context row now brings up a menu allowing the user to
generate a diff between that row and the selected row. Left-click on
a graph line shows the parent and children connected by the line in
the details pane. Left-click on a circle in the graph selects that
commit. Left-click elsewhere in the graph does nothing.
When displaying a diff, the bottom-right file list box behaves
slightly differently now; instead of eliding all other files' diffs,
it now just scrolls the details pane so that the selected file's diff
starts at the top of the pane.
Since the diffs can be rather large, arrange for an update to be done
every 100ms while reading diffs.
Also removed the CVS revision keywords and bumped the version number
to 1.2.
Output default revisions as their hex SHA1 names to be consistent.
Add "--verify" flag that verifies that we output a single ref and not
more (and disables ref arguments).
A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch,
with whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably
stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, ie two patches
that have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same
thing.
IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
This patch addresses the problem reported by Paul Mackerras such that --merge-order
did not report the last root of a graph with merge of two independent roots.

We used to ignore unreachable tags, which just causes problems: it makes
"git prune" leave them around, but since we'll have prune everything
that tag points to, the tag object really should be removed too.
So remove the code that made us think tags were always reachable.
The sensible cleanup of the in-memory storage order of commit parents broke the --merge-order
code which was dependent on the previous behaviour of parse_commit().
This patch restores the correctness --merge-order behaviour by taking account of the
new behaviour of parse_commit.

gitk is really quite incredibly cool, and is great for visualizing what
is going on in a git repository. It's especially useful when you are
looking at what has changed since a particular version, since it
gracefully handles partial trees (and this also avoids the expense of
looking at _all_ changes in a big project).
For example, to see what changed in a merge after a "git pull", do
gitk ORIG_HEAD..
to see only the new things. Or you can simply do "gitk v2.6.12.." to
see what has changed since the v2.6.12 tag etc.
This merge itself is pretty interesting too, since it shows off a
feature of git itself that is incredibly cool: you can merge a
_separate_ git project into another git project. Not only does this
keep all the history of the original project, it also makes it possible
to continue to merge with the original project and the union of the two
projects.
I don't think anybody else can do that.
This adds tests (which also serves demonstration) for the --stat

Applying Andrew's latest patch-bomb showed us failing miserably if a new
subdirectory needed to be created.. That said, it's uncommon enough
that it's worth optimistically assuming it won't be needed, and then
creating the subdirectories only on failure.

With --header, git-rev-list gives us the contents of the commit
in-line, so we don't need to exec a git-cat-file to get it, and we
don't need the readobj command either.
Also fixed a residual problem with handling the commit that
has a parent listed twice.
We codify the following different heads (in addition to the main "HEAD",
which points to the current branch, of course):
- FETCH_HEAD
Populated by "git fetch"
- ORIG_HEAD
The old HEAD before a "git pull/resolve" (successful or not)
- LAST_MERGE
The HEAD we're currently merging in "git pull/resolve"
- MERGE_HEAD
The previous head of a unresolved "git pull", which gets committed by
a "git commit" after manually resolving the result
We used to have "MERGE_HEAD" be populated directly by the fetch, and we
removed ORIG_HEAD and LAST_MERGE too aggressively.

It is careful by default and refuses to overwrite old info, but if you
want to force everything to be re-read, use the "-f" flag.
Some day I'll make it take individual filenames too. Right now
it's all-or-nothing.
Current version would spin forever and exhaust memory while attempting
to sort all files from all revisions at once, until it dies before even
doing any real work. This is especially noticeable when used on a big
repository like the imported bkcvs repo for the Linux kernel.
This patch allows for batching the sort to put a bound on needed
resources and making progress early, as well as including some small
cleanups.

It does a "git-update-cache" on the arguments, meaning that you can
commit files without doing a separate "git-update-cache". This commit
was done with
git commit git-commit-script
for example.
You can say "HEAD.p" for the "parent of HEAD". It nests, so
HEAD.p2.p
means parent of second parent of HEAD (which obviously depends
on HEAD being a merge).
This happens in the linux-2.6 tree. We draw the graph line
double-thick to show that this happened.
Also fix a bug where we got a bogus "No commit information available"
line at the end on simple repositories like this one.
