"git stash save" is not just about "saving" the local changes, but
also is to restore the working tree state to that of HEAD. If you
changed a non-directory into a directory in the local change, you
may have untracked files in that directory, which have to be killed
while doing so, unless you run it with --include-untracked. Teach
the command to detect and error out before spreading the damage.
This needed a small fix to "ls-files --killed".
* pb/stash-refuse-to-kill:
git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directory
treat_directory(): do not declare submodules to be untracked
"git status" learned status.branch and status.short configuration
variables to use --branch and --short options by default (override
with --no-branch and --no-short options from the command line).
* jg/status-config:
status/commit: make sure --porcelain is not affected by user-facing config
commit: make it work with status.short
status: introduce status.branch to enable --branch by default
status: introduce status.short to enable --short by default
Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from. This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.
The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.
. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.
. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
will be the safe default in Git 2.0.
In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
the central repository).
In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid
surprises in some way.

Since git-pull learned the --rebase option it has not just been about

Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.
Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).
This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

"stash save" is about saving the local change to the working tree,
but also about restoring the state of the last commit to the working
tree. When a local change is to turn a non-directory to a directory,
in order to restore the non-directory, everything in the directory
needs to be removed.
Which is fine when running "git stash save --include-untracked",
but without that option, untracked, newly created files in the
directory will have to be discarded, if the state you are restoring
to has a non-directory at the same path as the directory.
Introduce a safety valve to fail the operation in such case, using
the "ls-files --killed" which was designed for this exact purpose.
The "stash save" is stopped when untracked files need to be
discarded because their leading path ceased to be a directory, and
the user is required to pass --force to really have the data
removed.

When remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote is set to a
remote that is different from where you usually fetch from (i.e. a
triangular workflow), master@{u} != origin, and push.default is set
to `upstream` or `simple` would fail with this error:
$ git push
fatal: You are pushing to remote 'origin', which is not the upstream of
your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push
to update which remote branch.
The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for
use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new
meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as before.
However, the `simple` does not have to share this error. It is
poised to be the default for Git 2.0, and we would like it to do
something sensible in triangular workflows.
Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as
before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow.
We may want to make it "safer current", but that is a separate

The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff
-B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not
available because it's already used for "break-rewrites".
When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply
add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines
addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes.
There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option:
- GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled
- The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice):
$ seq 5 >file1
$ cat <<EOF >file2
change
1
2
3
4
5
change
EOF
$ diff -u -B file1 file2
--- file1 2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200

So here is a more thorough description of the option:
- real changes are interesting
- blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to
interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition)
- "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes
- If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they
will be merged into one.
The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single
pass.

The set_reflog_action helper (in git-sh-setup) is designed to be
used once at the very top of a program, like this in "git am", for
example:
set_reflog_action am
The helper function sets the given string to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION only
when GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is not yet set. Thanks to this, "git am",
when run as the top-level program, will use "am" in GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
and the reflog entries made by whatever it does will record the
updates of refs done by "am".
Because of the conditional assignment, when "git am" is run as a
subprogram (i.e. an implementation detail) of "git rebase" that
already sets GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to its own name, the call in "git am"
to the helper function at the beginning will *not* have any effect.
So "git rebase" can do this:
set_reflog_action rebase
... do its own preparation, like checking out "onto" commit
... decide to do "format-patch" to "am" pipeline
git format-patch --stdout >mbox
git am mbox
and the reflog entries made inside "git am" invocation will say
"rebase", not "am".
Calls to "git" commands that update refs would use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
to record who did that update. Most such calls in scripted Porcelains
do not define custom reflog message and rely on GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to
contain its (or its caller's, when it is called as a subprogram) name.
If a scripted Porcelain wants to record a custom reflog message for
a single invocation of "git" command (e.g. when "git rebase" uses
"git checkout" to detach HEAD at the commit a series is to be
replayed on), it needs to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to the custom
message and export it while calling the "git" command, but such an
assignment must be restricted to that single "git" invocation and
should not be left behind to affect later codepath.
Document the rules to avoid future confusion.

When an user wants to filter specific ref using the --refs option,
the pattern needs to match the full ref, e.g. --refs=refs/tags/v1.*.
It'd be convenient to specify a subpath of ref pattern. For
example, --refs=origin/* can find refs/remotes/origin/master by
searching the pattern against its substrings in turn:
refs/remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/master
origin/master
If it finds a match in a subpath, unambigous part of the ref path will
be removed in the output.

save_stash() contains the logic for doing two potentially independent
operations; the first is preparing the stash merge commit, and the
second is updating the stash ref/ reflog accordingly. While the first
operation is abstracted out into a create_stash() for callers to access
via 'git stash create', the second one is not. Fix this by factoring
out the logic for storing the stash into a store_stash() that callers
can access via 'git stash store'.
Like create, store is not intended for end user interactive use, but for
callers in other scripts. We can simplify the logic in the
rebase.autostash feature using this new subcommand.

Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").
Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.
These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.
A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.
A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.
The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree or
index. It works by creating a temporary "dangling merge commit" out
of the worktree and index changes (via 'git stash create'), and
automatically applying it after a successful rebase or abort.
rebase stores the SHA-1 hex of the temporary merge commit, along with
the rest of the rebase state, in either
.git/{rebase-merge,rebase-apply}/autostash depending on the kind of
rebase. Since $state_dir is automatically removed at the end of a
successful rebase or abort, so is the autostash.
The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user. This
means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual.
When the autostash application results in a conflict, we push
$state_dir/autostash onto the normal stash and remove $state_dir
ending the rebase. The user can inspect the stash, and pop or drop at
any time.
Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with
pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the
require_clean_work_tree restriction.

In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list
--objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive
on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in
this special case.
In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the
following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the
new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...":
- all refs point to an object in the pack
- there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack
- no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack
The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as
a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition
for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects
large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in
check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack.
"index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack
+ rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the
conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list
..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for
the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the
other side is either buggy or malicious.

This shortcut is not applied to shallow clones, partly because shallow
clones should have no more objects than a usual fetch and the cost of
rev-list is acceptable, partly to avoid dealing with corner cases when
grafting is involved.
This shortcut does not apply to unpack-objects code path either
because the number of objects must be small in order to trigger that
code path.

Reimplement commit 4b7f53da on top of the new simplify-merges
infrastructure, tightening the condition to only consider root parents;
the original version incorrectly dropped parents that were TREESAME to
anything.
Original log message follows.
The merge simplification rule stated in 6546b59 (revision traversal:
show full history with merge simplification, 2008-07-31) still
treated merge commits too specially. Namely, in a history with this
shape:
---o---o---M
/
x---x---x
where three 'x' were on a history completely unrelated to the main
history 'o' and do not touch any of the paths we are following, we
still said that after simplifying all of the parents of M, 'x'
(which is the leftmost 'x' that rightmost 'x simplifies down to) and
'o' (which would be the last commit on the main history that touches
the paths we are following) are independent from each other, and
both need to be kept.
That is incorrect; when the side branch 'x' never touches the paths,
it should be removed to allow M to simplify down to the last commit
on the main history that touches the paths.

When simplifying an odd merge, such as one that used "-s ours", we may
find ourselves TREESAME to apparently redundant parents. Prevent
simplify_merges() from removing every TREESAME parent; if this would
happen reinstate the first TREESAME parent - the one that the default
log would have followed.
This avoids producing a totally disjoint history from the default log
when the default log is a better explanation of the end result, and aids
visualisation of odd merges.

History simplification previously always treated merges as TREESAME
if they were TREESAME to any parent.
While this was consistent with the default behaviour, this could be
extremely unhelpful when searching detailed history, and could not be
overridden. For example, if a merge had ignored a change, as if by "-s
ours", then:
git log -m -p --full-history -Schange file
would successfully locate "change"'s addition but would not locate the
merge that resolved against it.
Futher, simplify_merges could drop the actual parent that a commit
was TREESAME to, leaving it as a normal commit marked TREESAME that
isn't actually TREESAME to its remaining parent.
Now redefine a commit's TREESAME flag to be true only if a commit is
TREESAME to _all_ of its parents. This doesn't affect either the default
simplify_history behaviour (because partially TREESAME merges are turned
into normal commits), or full-history with parent rewriting (because all
merges are output). But it does affect other modes. The clearest
difference is that --full-history will show more merges - sufficient to
ensure that -m -p --full-history log searches can really explain every
change to the file, including those changes' ultimate fate in merges.
Also modify simplify_merges to recalculate TREESAME after removing
a parent. This is achieved by storing per-parent TREESAME flags on the
initial scan, so the combined flag can be easily recomputed.
This fixes some t6111 failures, but creates a couple of new ones -
we are now showing some merges that don't need to be shown.

When we run a regular "git fetch" without arguments, we
update the tracking refs according to the configured
refspec. However, when we run "git fetch origin master" (or
"git pull origin master"), we do not look at the configured
refspecs at all, and just update FETCH_HEAD.
We miss an opportunity to update "refs/remotes/origin/master"
(or whatever the user has configured). Some users find this
confusing, because they would want to do further comparisons
against the old state of the remote master, like:
$ git pull origin master
$ git log HEAD...origin/master
In the currnet code, they are comparing against whatever
commit happened to be in origin/master from the last time
they did a complete "git fetch". This patch will update a
ref from the RHS of a configured refspec whenever we happen
to be fetching its LHS. That makes the case above work.
The downside is that any users who really care about whether
and when their tracking branches are updated may be

The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well
as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation
changes and git completion script.
If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you
only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is
difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much
easier to filter for inclusion.

Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.
The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.
So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.
Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does
not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object
for shallow <obj-id>". The client may have truncated the history at
the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit
may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this
unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be
sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where
the updated history of the client is cauterised.
The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to
remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it
does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic
because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected
by the server.

The definition of a remote-tracking branch in the glossary have been
out-of-date for a while (by e.g. referring to "Pull:" from old-style
$GIT_DIR/remotes files).
Also, the preceding patches have formalized that a remote-tracking branch
must match a configured refspec in order to be usable as an upstream.
This patch rewrites the paragraph on remote-tracking branches accordingly.

The DWIM mode of checkout allows you to run "git checkout foo" when there
is no existing local ref or path called "foo", and there is exactly _one_
remote with a remote-tracking branch called "foo". Git will automatically
create a new local branch called "foo" using the remote-tracking "foo" as
its starting point and configured upstream.
For example, consider the following unconventional (but perfectly valid)
remote setup:
[remote "origin"]
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[remote "frotz"]
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/*
Case 1: Assume both "origin" and "frotz" have remote-tracking branches called
"foo", at "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo"
respectively. In this case "git checkout foo" should fail, because there is
more than one remote with a "foo" branch.
Case 2: Assume only "frotz" have a remote-tracking branch called "foo". In
this case "git checkout foo" should succeed, and create a local branch "foo"
from "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", using remote branch "foo" from "frotz"
as its upstream.
The current code hardcodes the assumption that all remote-tracking branches
must match the "refs/remotes/$remote/*" pattern (which is true for remotes
with "conventional" refspecs, but not true for the "frotz" remote above).
When running "git checkout foo", the current code looks for exactly one ref
matching "refs/remotes/*/foo", hence in the above example, it fails to find
"refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", which causes it to fail both case #1 and #2.
The better way to handle the above example is to actually study the fetch
refspecs to deduce the candidate remote-tracking branches for "foo"; i.e.
assume "foo" is a remote branch being fetched, and then map "refs/heads/foo"
through the refspecs in order to get the corresponding remote-tracking
branches "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo".
Finally we check which of these happens to exist in the local repo, and
if there is exactly one, we have an unambiguous match for "git checkout foo",
and may proceed.
This fixes most of the failing tests introduced in the previous patch.

'git-status --ignored' still scans the work tree twice to collect
untracked and ignored files, respectively.
fill_directory / read_directory already supports collecting untracked and
ignored files in a single directory scan. However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED
flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it
doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with
--untracked=all doesn't work).
The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored
files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as
DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git.
We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar
to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the
other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does.
In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either
dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move
the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a
common place.
In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read
results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call.
builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add
specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity.

When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can
be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is
best if the server can require authentication for both the
ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This
alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in
the repositories, and means that the client is challenged
for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the
push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had
trouble handling these challenges).
Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires
matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in
Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to
just protect "/git-receive-pack$". This patch provides the
mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement,
which is preferred.
While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts
so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken
(either by our changes or by changes in Apache).

check-attr and check-ignore have the potential to deadlock callers
which do not read back the output in real-time. For example, if a
caller writes N paths out and then reads N lines back in, it risks
becoming blocked on write() to check-*, and check-* is blocked on
write back to the caller. Somebody has to buffer; the pipe buffers
provide some leeway, but they are limited.

If `-n` or `--non-matching` are specified, non-matching pathnames will
also be output, in which case all fields in each output record except
for <pathname> will be empty. This can be useful when running
check-ignore as a background process, so that files can be
incrementally streamed to STDIN, and for each of these files, STDOUT
will indicate whether that file matched a pattern or not. (Without
this option, it would be impossible to tell whether the absence of
output for a given file meant that it didn't match any pattern, or
that the result simply hadn't been flushed to STDOUT yet.)

The examples in the documentation are all for Apache. Let's
at least cover the basics: an anonymous server, an
authenticated server, and a "half auth" server with
anonymous read and authenticated write.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When the http-backend is set up to allow anonymous read but
authenticated write, the http-backend manual suggests
catching only the "/git-receive-pack" POST of the packfile,
not the initial "info/refs?service=git-receive-pack" GET in
which we advertise refs.
This does work and is secure, as we do not allow any write
during the info/refs request, and the information in the ref
advertisement is the same that you would get from a fetch.
However, the configuration required by the server is
slightly more complex. The default `http.receivepack`
setting is to allow pushes if the webserver tells us that
the user authenticated, and otherwise to return a 403
("Forbidden"). That works fine if authentication is turned
on completely; the initial request requires authentication,
and http-backend realizes it is OK to do a push.
But for this "half-auth" state, no authentication has
occurred during the initial ref advertisement. The
http-backend CGI therefore does not think that pushing
should be enabled, and responds with a 403. The client
cannot continue, even though the server would have allowed
it to run if it had provided credentials.
It would be much better if the server responded with a 401,
asking for credentials during the initial contact. But
git-http-backend does not know about the server's auth
configuration (so a 401 would be confusing in the case of a
true anonymous server). Unfortunately, configuring Apache to
recognize the query string and apply the auth appropriately
to receive-pack (but not upload-pack) initial requests is
non-trivial.
The site admin can work around this by just turning on
http.receivepack explicitly in its repositories. Let's
document this workaround.

fast-export can fail because of some pruned-reference when importing a

The problem happens in the following scenario:
$ git fast-export --export-marks=MARKS master
(rewrite master)
$ git prune
$ git fast-export --import-marks=MARKS master
This might fail if some references have been removed by prune
because some marks will refer to no longer existing commits.
git-fast-export will not need these objects anyway as they were no
longer reachable.
We still need to update last_numid so we don't change the mapping

When we introduced the concept of "detached HEAD", we made sure that
commands that operate on the history of the current branch "just
work" in that state. They update the HEAD to point at the new
history without affecting any branch when the HEAD is detached, just
like they update the tip of the "current branch" to point at the new
history when HEAD points at a specific branch.
As this is done as the natural extension for these commands, we did
not, we still do not, and we do not want to repeat "A detached HEAD
is updated without affecting any branch" when describing what each
and every one of these commands that operates "on the current branch"
does.
Add a blanket description to the glossary to cover them instead.
The general principle is that operations to update the branch work
on and affect the HEAD, while operations to update the information
about a branch do not.

The old version could be read to mean that the argument has to refer
to a valid object, but that is incorrect:
* the object is not necessarily read (e.g., to check for corruption)
* if the argument is a 40-digit string of hex digits, then it is
accepted whether or not is is the name of an existing object.
So reword the explanation to be less ambiguous.
Also fix the examples involving --verify: to be sure that the argument
refers to a commit (rather than some other kind of object), the
argument has to be suffixed with "^{commit}". This trick is not
possible in the example involving --default, so don't imply that it is

A string that names an object can be suffixed with ^{type} peeler to
say "I have this object name; peel it until you get this type. If
you cannot do so, it is an error". v1.8.2^{commit} asks for a commit
that is pointed at an annotated tag v1.8.2; v1.8.2^{tree} unwraps it
further to the top-level tree object. A special suffix ^{} (i.e. no
type specified) means "I do not care what it unwraps to; just peel
annotated tag until you get something that is not a tag".
When you have a random user-supplied string, you can turn it to a
bare 40-hex object name, and cause it to error out if such an object
does not exist, with:
git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{}"
for most objects, but this does not yield the tag object name when
$userstring refers to an annotated tag.
Introduce a new suffix, ^{object}, that only makes sure the given
name refers to an existing object. Then
git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{object}"
becomes a way to make sure $userstring refers to an existing object.
This is necessary because the plumbing "rev-parse --verify" is only
about "make sure the argument is something we can feed to get_sha1()
and turn it into a raw 20-byte object name SHA-1" and is not about
"make sure that 20-byte object name SHA-1 refers to an object that
exists in our object store". When the given $userstring is already
a 40-hex, by definition "rev-parse --verify $userstring" can turn it
into a raw 20-byte object name. With "$userstring^{object}", we can
make sure that the 40-hex string names an object that exists in our
object store before "--verify" kicks in.

This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split
it into smaller, easier to understand routines.
The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a
series of line ranges as intervals [a,b). This is used in two
contexts:
* A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through
history).
* To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges.
The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff(). It processes the
diff between a commit C and some parent P. It determines which diff
hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new
ranges for P.
The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order
from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs. At
branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching. We will
find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them
TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting).
Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits.
This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery. This
currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other
simplifications and options to be used.
Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain. Ideally we
would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features
like word diff. However, that will require some major reworking of
the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff
for now.

people have helped. In no particular order, thanks go to
