2074cb0af3 Teach runstatus about --untracked
Actually, teach runstatus what to do if it is not passed; it should not list
the contents of completely untracked directories, but only the name of that
directory (plus a trailing '/').

[jc: with comments by Jeff King to match hide-empty-directories
 behaviour of the original.]

c91f0d92ef git-commit.sh: convert run_status to a C builtin
This creates a new git-runstatus which should do roughly the same thing
as the run_status function from git-commit.sh. Except for color support,
the main focus has been to keep the output identical, so that it can be
verified as correct and then used as a C platform for other improvements to
the status printing code.

a3a733e63b Record the type of commit operation in the reflog.
If committing a merge (.git/MERGE_HEAD exists), an initial tree
(no HEAD) or using --amend to amend the prior commit then denote
the subtype of commit in the reflog.  This helps to distinguish
amended or merge commits from normal commits.

In the case of --amend the prior sha1 is probably the commit which
is being thrown away in favor of the new commit.  Since it is likely
that the old commit doesn't have any ref pointing to it anymore
it can be interesting to know why that the commit was replaced
and orphaned.

In the case of a merge the prior sha1 is probably the first parent
of the new merge commit.  Consequently having its prior sha1 in the
reflog is slightly less interesting but its still informative to
know the commit was the result of a merge which had to be completed
by hand.

29f4ad867c git-commit: filter out log message lines only when editor was run.
The current behaviour strips out lines starting with a # even when fed
through stdin or -m.  This is particularly bad when importing history from
another SCM (tailor 0.9.23 uses git-commit).  In the best cases all lines
are stripped and the commit fails with a confusing "empty log message"
error, but in many cases the commit is done, with loss of information.

Note that it is quite peculiar to just have "#" handled as a leading
comment char here.  One commonly meet CVS: or CG: or STG: as prefixes, and
using GIT: would be more robust as well as consistent with other commit
tools.  However, that would break any tool relying on the # (if any).

7d0c68871a git-merge --squash
Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch,
recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is
reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of
the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the
cruft from the history.  The topic is then abandoned or forked
off again from that point at the mainline.

The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does
not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by
using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a
strict superset of the mainline, like this:

	git checkout mainline
	git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch
	: fix conflicts if any
	rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD
        git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message'
	git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged

This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast
forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never
create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing
special --no-commit could do to begin with.

This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a
workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge
case.  The user-level operation would be the same in both cases:

	git checkout mainline
        git pull --squash . that-topic-branch
        : fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be
        : no conflict if fast forward.
	git commit -a -m  'consolidated commit log message'
	git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged

When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to
the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new
option does not have any effect.

This was brought up in #git IRC channel recently.

Spotted by Linus and Darrin Thompson.  When we took a commit
message from -F <file> with an incomplete line, we appended "git

We still need the "do we have anything to commit?" check by
running "status" (which has to know what to do in different
cases with -i/-o/-a), but there is no point appending its output
to the proposed commit message given by the user.

b4019f0456 git-commit --amend
The new flag is used to amend the tip of the current branch.  Prepare
the tree object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual
(this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the commit log
editor is seeded with the commit message from the tip of the current
branch.  The commit you create replaces the current tip -- if it was a
merge, it will have the parents of the current tip as parents -- so the
current top commit is discarded.

It is a rough equivalent for:

	$ git reset --soft HEAD^
	$ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ...
	$ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD

but can be used to amend a merge commit.

bba319b5ce commit: detect misspelled pathspec while making a partial commit.
When you say "git commit Documentaiton" to make partial commit
for the files only in that directory, we did not detect that as
a misspelled pathname and attempted to commit index without
change.  If nothing matched, there is no harm done, but if the
index gets modified otherwise by having another valid pathspec
or after an explicit update-index, a user will not notice
without paying attention to the "git status" preview.

This introduces --error-unmatch option to ls-files, and uses it
to detect this common user error.

cf7bb589af git-status -v
This revamps the git-status command to take the same set of
parameters as git commit.  It gives a preview of what is being
committed with that command.  With -v flag, it shows the diff
output between the HEAD commit and the index that would be
committed if these flags were given to git-commit command.

git-commit also acquires -v flag (it used to mean "verify" but
that is the default anyway and there is --no-verify to turn it
off, so not much is lost), which uses the updated git-status -v
to seed the commit log buffer.  This is handy for writing a log
message while reviewing the changes one last time.

Now, git-commit and git-status are internally share the same
implementation.

Unlike previous git-commit change, this uses a temporary index
to prepare the index file that would become the real index file
after a successful commit, and moves it to the real index file
once the commit is actually made.  This makes it safer than the
previous scheme, which stashed away the original index file and
restored it after an aborted commit.

5a798fb57f git-commit: finishing touches.
Introduce --only flag to allow the new "partial commit"
semantics when paths are specified.  The default is still the
traditional --include semantics.  Once peoples' fingers and
scripts that want the traditional behaviour are updated to
explicitly say --include, we could change it to either default
to --only, or refuse to operate without either --only/--include
when paths are specified.

This also fixes a couple of bugs in the previous round.  Namely:

 - forgot to save/restore index in some cases.

 - forgot to use the temporary index to show status when '--only
   paths...' semantics was used.

 - --author did not take precedence when reusing an existing
   commit.

130fcca63f git-commit: revamp the git-commit semantics.
- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
   behaviour.  It commits the current index.

   We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
   subdirectory.

 - "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
   is equivalent to:

   	git update-index --remove paths...
        git commit

 - "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics.  This is an
   incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
   still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
   have complained that it is confusing to them.  It

   1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
      trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
      -i flag.

   2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
      the index (ditto about reminding).  Added paths are OK.

   3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.

   4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
      temporary index.

   5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
      tree to the real index.

   6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
      current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
      new commit.

 - "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
   the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
   commit.

 - In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
   commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
   run.  This means that the two "git diff" in the following
   sequence:

       $ git diff
       $ git commit -a
       $ git diff

   would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
   making the commit log message empty.

This commit also introduces much requested --author option.

8098a178b2 Add git-symbolic-ref
This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs".  By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.

The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

bf7960eb51 Use git-update-ref in scripts.
This uses the git-update-ref command in scripts for safer updates.
Also places where we used to read HEAD ref by using "cat" were fixed
to use git-rev-parse.  This will matter when we start using symbolic
references.

148ccbb038 git-commit: use update-index --stdin, instead of xargs.
Now update-index supports '-z --stdin', we do not have to rely on
platform xargs to support -0 option.

91063bbc6c Multi-backend merge driver.
The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.

If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'.  Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.

If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree.  The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.

The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:

 - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.

 - They take input of this form:

	<common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>...

   That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
   current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
   the current branch.

 - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
   matched to the current <head>.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
   successfully auto-merges the given heads.  It should do
   update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
   index file will be used to record the merge result as a
   commit by the driver.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
   conflicts behind.  It should do update-cache for all the
   merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
   cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
   it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
   with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.

 - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
   1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.

As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on
'git resolve' and 'git octopus'.

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.
