[PATCH] Initial import of git-archimport-script
Imports a project history from one or more Arch repositories, following
the branching and tagging across repositories. Note you should import
separate projects to separate GIT repositories.
Supported
- Imports, tags and simple commits.
- File renames
- Arch tags
- Binary files
- Large trees
- Multiple repositories
- Branches
TODO:
- Allow re-running the import on an already-imported project
- Follow merges using Arch data
- Audit shell escaping of filenames
- Better support for file metadata
- Better/safer creation of temp directories
Unsupported:
- Arch 'configuration'
[jc: my arch/tla is very rusty and after Tom announced he is stepping
down as the maintainer I have very little motivation to relearn it,
so I would appreciate if people discuss any bugs or enhancements
directly with Martin. Of course I can help with the git end of the
issues.]

'git bisect visualize'
Linus says:
I'm testing bisection to find a bug that causes my G5 to no longer boot,
and during the process have found this command line very nice:
gitk bisect/bad --not $(cd .git/refs ; ls bisect/good-*)
it basically shows the state of bisection with the known bad commit as the
top, and cutting off all the good commits - so what you see are the
potential buggy commits.

[PATCH] Fix bisection terminating condition
When testing bisection and using gitk to visualize the result, it was
obvious that the termination condition was broken.
We know what the bad entry is only when the bisection ends up telling us
to test the known-bad entry again.
Also, add a safety net: if somebody marks as good something that includes
the known-bad point, we now notice and complain, instead of writing an
empty revision to the new bisection branch.

[PATCH] Make "git resolve" less scary
When we resolve a merge between two branches, and it removes a file in the
current branch, we notify the person doing the resolve with a big nice
notice like
Removing xyzzy
which is all well and good.
HOWEVER, we also do this when the file was actually removed in the current
branch, and we're merging with another branch that didn't have it removed
(or, indeed, if the other branch _did_ have it removed, but the common
parent was far enough back that the file still existed in there).
And that just doesn't make sense. In that case we're not removing
anything: the file didn't exist in the branch we're merging into in the
first place. So the message just makes people nervous, and makes no sense.
This has been around forever, but I never bothered to do anything about
it.
Until now.
The trivial fix is to only talk about removing files if the file existed
in the branch we're merging into, but will not exist in the result.

git-repack-script: Add option to repack all objects.
This originally came from Frank Sorenson, but with a bit of rework to
allow future enhancements without changing the external interface for
pack pruning part.
With the '-a' option, all objects in the current repository are packed
into a single pack. When the '-d' option is given at the same time,
existing packs that were made redundant by this round of repacking are
deleted.
Since we currently have only two repacking strategies, one with '-a'
(everything into one) and the other without '-a' (incrementally pack
only the unpacked ones), the '-d' option is meaningful only when used
with '-a'; it removes the packs existed before we did the "everything
into one" repacking. At least for now.

- People's name spelled in characters outside ASCII (both on From:

- Content-transfer-encoding using quoted-printable (both in
multipart and non-multipart messages).
These MIME features are detected and decoded by "git mailinfo".
Optionally, with the '-u' flag, the output to .info and .msg is
transliterated from its original chaset to utf-8. This is to
encourage people to use utf8 in their commit messages for
interoperability.
Applymbox accepts additional flag '-u' which is passed to mailinfo.

Redo "revert" using three-way merge machinery.
The reverse patch application using "git apply" sometimes is too
rigid. Since the user would get used to resolving conflicting merges
by hand during the normal merge experience, using the same machinery
would be more helpful rather than just giving up.
Cherry-picking and reverting are essentially the same operation.
You pick one commit, and apply the difference that commit introduces
to its own commit ancestry chain to the current tree. Revert applies
the diff in reverse while cherry-pick applies it forward. They share
the same logic, just different messages and merge direction.

[PATCH] Make .git directory validation code test HEAD
Inspired by a report by Kalle Valo, this changes git-sh-setup-script and
the "setup_git_directory()" function to test that $GIT_DIR/HEAD is a
symlink, since a number of core git features depend on that these days.
We used to allow a regular file there, but git-fsck-cache has been
complaining about that for a while, and anything that uses branches
depends on the HEAD file being a symlink, so let's just encode that as a
fundamental requirement.
Before, a non-symlink HEAD file would appear to work, but have subtle bugs
like not having the HEAD show up as a valid reference (because it wasn't
under "refs"). Now, we will complain loudly, and the user can fix it up
trivially instead of getting strange behaviour.
This also removes the tests for "$GIT_DIR" and "$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY"
being directories, since the other tests will implicitly test for that
anyway (ie the tests for HEAD, refs and 00 would fail).

Fix pulling into the same branch.
When the "git pull" command updates the branch head you are
currently on, before doing anything else, first update your
index file and the working tree contents to that of the new
branch head. Otherwise, the later resolving steps would think
your index file is attempting to revert the change between the
original head commit and the updated head commit.
It uses two-tree fast-forward form of "read-tree -m -u" to
prevent losing whatever local changes you may have in the
working tree to do this update. I think this would at least
make things safer (a lot safer), and prevent mistakes.
Also "git fetch" command is forbidden from fetching and fast
forwarding the current branch head unless --update-head-ok flag
is given. "git pull" passes the flag when it internally calls
"git fetch".

[PATCH] Multi-head fetch.
Traditionally, fetch takes these forms:
$ git fetch <remote>
$ git fetch <remote> <head>
$ git fetch <remote> tag <tag>
This patch updates it to take
$ git fetch <remote> <refspec>...
where:
- A <refspec> of form "<src>:<dst>" is to fetch the objects
needed for the remote ref that matches <src>, and if <dst>
is not empty, store it as a local <dst>.
- "tag" followed by <next> is just an old way of saying
"refs/tags/<next>:refs/tags/<next>"; this mimics the
current behaviour of the third form above and means "fetch
that tag and store it under the same name".
- A single token <refspec> without colon is a shorthand for
"<refspec>:" That is, "fetch that ref but do not store
anywhere".
- when there is no <refspec> specified
- if <remote> is the name of a file under $GIT_DIR/remotes/
(i.e. a new-style shorthand), then it is the same as giving
the <refspec>s listed on Pull: line in that file.
- if <remote> is the name of a file under $GIT_DIR/branches/
(i.e. an old-style shorthand, without trailing path), then it
is the same as giving a single <refspec>
"<remote-name>:refs/heads/<remote>" on the command line, where
<remote-name> is the remote branch name (defaults to HEAD, but
can be overridden by .git/branches/<remote> file having the
URL fragment notation). That is, "fetch that branch head and
store it in refs/heads/<remote>".
- otherwise, it is the same as giving a single <refspec>
that is "HEAD:".
The SHA1 object names of fetched refs are stored in FETCH_HEAD,
one name per line, with a comment to describe where it came from.
This is later used by "git resolve" and "git octopus".

Rationalize output selection in rev-parse.
Earlier rounds broke 'whatchanged -p'. In attempting to fix this,
make two axis of output selection in rev-parse orthogonal:
--revs-only tells it not to output things that are not revisions nor
flags that rev-list would take.
--no-revs tells it not to output things that are revisions or
flags that rev-list would take.
--flags tells it not to output parameters that do not start with
a '-'.
--no-flags tells it not to output parameters that starts with a '-'.
So for example 'rev-parse --no-revs -p arch/i386' would yield '-p arch/i386',
while 'rev-parse --no-revs --flags -p archi/i386' would give just '-p'.
Also the meaning of --verify has been made stronger. It now rejects
anything but a single valid rev argument. Earlier it passed some flags
through without complaining.

Introduce "reset type" flag to "git reset"
I have been feeling that the current behaviour of "git reset" is
not quite optimal, but so far could not express exactly what I
felt was wrong with it. This patch clarifies it.
There are at least two situations you may want to "reset" your
working tree.
1. You made a mess in your working tree. You want to switch
back to a known good state and start over. This mess may be
a result of your own editing, a merge that had too many
conflicting changes that you do not feel like to resolve by
hand at this moment, or a botched application of a patch you
received from somewhere.
In this case, you would want to have "git reset HEAD" reset
the index file to the tree read from the HEAD commit and the
files in the working tree to match index (i.e. "git status"
should say "Nothing to commit", without any "unrecorded
changes").
The current behaviour leaves the files in the working tree
intact, which requires you to run "git checkout -f". Also
you need to remember "rm -f" any files that the botched patch
may have left in the working tree if the purpose of this
"reset" is to attempt to apply it again; most likely the
patch would fail if such a file is left behind.
2. You have discovered that commits you made earlier need to be
reorganized. The simplest example is to undo the last
commit, re-edit some files, and redo the commit. Another
simple eample is to undo the last two commits, and commit the
changes in those two commits as a single commit.
In this case, you would want to have "git reset HEAD^" reset
the $GIT_DIR/HEAD to the commit object name of the parent
commit of the current commit (i.e. rewinding one commit),
leave the index file and the files in the working tree in a
state where you can easily make a commit that records a tree
that resembles what you have in the current index file and
the working tree.
The current behaviour is almost OK for this purpose, except
that you need to find which files you need to manually run
"git add" yourself. They are files that are in the original
HEAD commit and not in the commit you are resetting to.
The default without the type flag is to do "--mixed", which is
the current behaviour.
$ git reset [ --hard | --soft | --mixed ] [ <commit-ish> ]
A hard reset would be used for 1 and works in this way:
(1) remember the set of paths that appear in the current
index file (which may even have unmerged entries) and
the current $GIT_DIR/HEAD commit.
(2) "read-tree --reset" the specified <commit-ish> (default
to HEAD), followed by "checkout-cache -f -u -a".
(3) remove any files that appear in (1) but not in
<commit-ish> from the working tree.
(4) backup $GIT_DIR/HEAD to $GIT_DIR/ORIG_HEAD and update
$GIT_DIR/HEAD with the specified <commit-ish>.
(5) remove leftover $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
A soft reset would be used for 2 and works in this way:
(1) Make sure that the index file is merged and we do not
have MERGE_HEAD; otherwise it does not make sense to do
soft reset.
(2) backup $GIT_DIR/HEAD to $GIT_DIR/ORIG_HEAD and update
$GIT_DIR/HEAD with the specified <commit-ish>.
Note that with the current behaviour, "git diff" is the way to
see what could be committed immediately after "git reset". With
the "soft reset" described here you would need to say "git diff
HEAD" to find that out.
I am not sure what mixed reset (the current behaviour) is good
for. If nobody comes up with a good use case it may not be a
bad idea to remove it.

I have been feeling that the current behaviour of "git reset" is
not quite optimal, but so far could not express exactly what I
felt was wrong with it. This patch clarifies it.
There are at least two situations you may want to "reset" your
working tree.
1. You made a mess in your working tree. You want to switch
back to a known good state and start over. This mess may be
a result of your own editing, a merge that had too many
conflicting changes that you do not feel like to resolve by
hand at this moment, or a botched application of a patch you
received from somewhere.
In this case, you would want to have "git reset HEAD" reset
the index file to the tree read from the HEAD commit and the
files in the working tree to match index (i.e. "git status"
should say "Nothing to commit", without any "unrecorded
changes").
The current behaviour leaves the files in the working tree
intact, which requires you to run "git checkout -f". Also
you need to remember "rm -f" any files that the botched patch
may have left in the working tree if the purpose of this
"reset" is to attempt to apply it again; most likely the
patch would fail if such a file is left behind.

Clean-up output from "git show-branch" and document it.
When showing only one branch a lot of default output becomes redundant,
so clean it up a bit, and document what is shown. Retire the earlier
implementation "git-show-branches-script".

[PATCH] Add 'git show-branch'.
The 'git show-branches' command turns out to be reasonably useful,
but painfully slow. So rewrite it in C, using ideas from merge-base
while enhancing it a bit more.
- Unlike show-branches, it can take --heads (show me all my
heads), --tags (show me all my tags), or --all (both).
- It can take --more=<number> to show beyond the merge-base.
- It shows the short name for each commit in the extended SHA1
syntax.
- It can find merge-base for more than two heads.
Examples:
$ git show-branch --more=6 HEAD
is almost the same as "git log --pretty=oneline --max-count=6".
$ git show-branch --merge-base master mhf misc
finds the merge base of the three given heads.
$ git show-branch master mhf misc
shows logs from the top of these three branch heads, up to their
common ancestor commit is shown.
$ git show-branch --all --more=10
is poor-man's gitk, showing all the tags and heads, and
going back 10 commits beyond the merge base of those refs.

[PATCH] Add a new extended SHA1 syntax <name>~<num>
The new notation is a short-hand for <name> followed by <num>
caret ('^') characters. E.g. "master~4" is the fourth
generation ancestor of the current "master" branch head,
following the first parents; same as "master^^^^" but a bit
more readable.
This will be used in the updated "git show-branch" command.
