The underlying "git send-pack remote.host:path" pushes all the
matching refs that both local and remote have, and "git push"
blindly inherits this property. Which probably was a mistake.
A typical cloned repository (e.g. a subsystem repository cloned
from Linus repository) has at least two branches, "master" to
keep the subsystem and "origin" that records tip of Linus
"master" when the repository was cloned. If this is the public
repository for the subsystem, then subsystem developers would
clone it, and then cloned ones have "master" and "origin". When
developers use this public subsystem repository as a shared
repository, pushing into it via "git push subsys:/path/name"
would try to push the matching refs, "master" and "origin", from
the developers' repositories. The "origin" in the public shared
repository does not have much relevance, yet pushing into
"origin" would cause "not a fast forward" checks to be
triggered. Arguably "git push subsys:/path/name master" would
work it around, but having them to say it explicitly to avoid
pushing into "origin" as well is bad.
This commit requires you to give at least one refspec to
git-push. You could "give" by either:
(1) Listing the refspec(s) explicitly on the command line.
E.g. "git push subsys:/path/name master".
(2) Using --all or --tags on the command line.
E.g. "git push --tags subsys:/path/name".
(3) Using a $GIT_DIR/remotes shorthand with 'Push: refspec'
line in it.
Unlike pull that can happen pretty much promiscuously, people
will push into the same set of a limited number of remote
repositories repeatedly over the life of the project, so it is
reasonable to assume they would want to keep a $GIT_DIR/remotes/
entry for those repositories even only to save typing the URL,
so keeping the default 'Push: refspec' line in such is a
sensible thing to do.
It was suggested to further fall back on pushing the current
branch, but this commit does not implement it. If developers
adopt topic branch workflow, pushing to public while on a topic
branch by mistake would expose the topic branch to the public
repository. Not falling back to the current branch prevents
that mistake from happening.

* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
'-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
read-tree prevents branch switching.
* Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
show the local modifications.
* Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
more natural.
* Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.

When switching branches, if the working tree has a local
modification at paths that are different between current and new
branches, we refused the operation saying "cannot merge." This
attempts to do an automerge for such paths.
This is still experimental.

The earlier change to separate $(gitexecdir) from $(bindir) had
the installation location of the git wrapper and the rest of the
commands the wrong way (right now, both of them point at the
same location so there is no real harm).
Also gitk needs to be installed in $(bindir).

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

We rejected multi-base merge situations even though we used the
same underlying multi-base git-read-tree as the resolve strategy
uses. This was unneeded and did not add much to ensure the
merge to be truly trivial, so remove this restriction and be
more similar to what resolve does.
Also when the merge did not trivially resolve, we rejected
without stating that octopus strategy does not handle the
situation.

This lets showbranch.default multivalued configuration item to
be used as the default set of parameters to git-show-branch when
none is given on the command line.
I keep many topic branches (e.g. zzz/pack, net/misc) and
branches used only as a reference under subdirectories
(e.g. hold/{html,man,todo} track the same from git.git, but
clutters the show-branch output when shown along with the main
development; ko/master tracks what I have pushed out already and
refetched from the kernel.org server), and often run:
$ git show-branch ko/master heads/*
to view only the ko/master head and branches I keep immediately
under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads. With this change, I can have this in
my $GIT_DIR/config file:
[showbranch]
default = ko/master
default = heads/*
and say
$ git show-branch

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.

ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:
struct frotz {
int xyzzy;
char nitfol[]; /* more */
};
GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.
This declares such construct like this:
struct frotz {
int xyzzy;
char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
};
and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.
If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".
