W. Trevor King ae6ef554c8 user-manual: Use request-pull to generate "please pull" text
Less work and more error checking (e.g. does a merge base exist?).
Add an explicit push before request-pull to satisfy request-pull,
which checks to make sure the references are publically available.

W. Trevor King 6c26bf4d4e user-manual: Reorganize the reroll sections, adding 'git rebase -i'
I think this interface is often more convenient than extended cherry
picking or using 'git format-patch'.  In fact, I removed the
cherry-pick section entirely.  The entry-level suggestions for
rerolling are now:

    1. git commit --amend
    2. git format-patch origin
       git reset --hard origin
       ...edit and reorder patches...
       git am *.patch
    3. git rebase -i origin

W. Trevor King 632cc3e6b6 user-manual: use 'git config --global user.*' for setup
A simple command line call is easier than spawning an editor,
especially for folks new to ideas like the "command line" and "text
editors".  This is also the approach suggested by 'git commit' if you
try and commit without having configured user.name or user.email.

pathspec is the most widely used term, and is the one defined in

Jonathan Nieder 6978934713 Makefile: explicitly set target name for autogenerated dependencies
"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o".  When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute

	gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E

instead to get the final content for hashing.  Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E".  The result is a target name without
a leading path.

Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:

	$ make builtin/add.o
	GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
	    * new build flags or prefix
	    CC builtin/add.o
	$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
	add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \

After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":

	$ touch cache.h
	$ make builtin/add.o
	$

Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option.  Do so.

Junio C Hamano e28efb1998 apply: diagnose incomplete submodule object name better
"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the
preimage the patch was created from would have looked like.  An
abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient
for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have
contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object
name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and
get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1()
for that matter).

Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name
there.

We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full
object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has
been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice
for now.

Junio C Hamano e2afb0be90 apply: simplify build_fake_ancestor()
The local variable sha1_ptr in the build_fake_ancestor() function
used to either point at the null_sha1[] (if the ancestor did not
have the path) or at sha1[] (if we read the object name into the
local array), but 7a98869 (apply: get rid of --index-info in favor
of --build-fake-ancestor, 2007-09-17) made the "missing in the
ancestor" case unnecessary, hence sha1_ptr, when used, always points
at the local array.

Get rid of the unneeded variable, and restructure the if/else
cascade a bit to make it easier to read.  There should be no
behaviour change.

Junio C Hamano 4ae6d4699f git-am: record full index line in the patch used while rebasing
Earlier, a230949 (am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not
from mailbox, 2012-06-26) learned to regenerate patch body from the
commit object while rebasing, instead of reading from the rebase-am
front-end.  While doing so, it used "git diff-tree" but without
giving it the "--full-index" option.

This does not matter for in-repository objects; during rebasing, any
abbreviated object name should uniquely identify them.

But we may be rebasing a commit that contains a change to a gitlink,
in which case we usually should not have the object (it names a
commit in the submodule).  A full object name is necessary to later
reconstruct a fake ancestor index for them.

Stephen Boyd 7dac3f8321 gpg: close stderr once finished with it in verify_signed_buffer()
Failing to close the stderr pipe in verify_signed_buffer() causes
git to run out of file descriptors if there are many calls to
verify_signed_buffer(). An easy way to trigger this is to run

 git log --show-signature --merges | grep "key"

on the linux kernel git repo. Eventually it will fail with

 error: cannot create pipe for gpg: Too many open files
 error: could not run gpg.

Close the stderr pipe so that this can't happen.
