git add -i: Fix parsing of abbreviated hunk headers
The unified diff format allows one-line ranges to be abbreviated
by omiting the size. The hunk header "@@ -10,1 +10,1 @@" can be
expressed as "@@ -10 +10 @@", but this wasn't properly parsed in
all cases.
Such abbreviated hunk headers are generated when a one-line change
(add, remove or modify) appears without context; for example
because the file is a one-liner itself or because GIT_DIFF_OPTS
was set to '-u0'. If the user then runs 'git add -i' and enters
the 'patch' command for that file, perl complains about undefined
variables.

Clean up "git log" format with DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT
This fixes an unnecessary empty line that we add to the log message when
we generate diffs, but don't actually end up printing any due to having
DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT set.
This can happen with pickaxe or with rename following. The reason is that
we normally add an empty line between the commit and the diff, but we do
that even for the case where we've then suppressed the actual printing of
the diff.
This also updates a couple of tests that assumed the extraneous empty
line would exist at the end of output.

Fix embarrassing "git log --follow" bug
It turns out that I completely broke "git log --follow" with my recent
patch to revision.c ("Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff
generation", commit b7bb760d5ed4881422673d32f869d140221d3564).
Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function,
exactly the same way pickaxe does.
So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed
this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial
one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment).
Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following
(which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because
then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs
themselves.
So while "git log --follow <filename>" didn't work, adding a "-p"
magically made it work again even without this fix.

Must not modify the_index.cache as it may be passed to realloc at some point.
The index cache is not static, growing as new entries are added. If
entries are added after prune_cache is called, cache will no longer
point at the base of the allocation, and realloc will not be happy.
I verified that this was the only place in the current source which
modified any index_state.cache elements aside from the alloc/realloc
calls in read-cache by changing the type of the element to 'struct
cache_entry ** const cache' and recompiling.
A more efficient patch would create a separate 'cache_base' value to
track the allocation and then fix things up when reallocation was
necessary, instead of the brute-force memmove used here.

diffcore-rename: cache file deltas
We find rename candidates by computing a fingerprint hash of
each file, and then comparing those fingerprints. There are
inherently O(n^2) comparisons, so it pays in CPU time to
hoist the (rather expensive) computation of the fingerprint
out of that loop (or to cache it once we have computed it once).
Previously, we didn't keep the filespec information around
because then we had the potential to consume a great deal of
memory. However, instead of keeping all of the filespec
data, we can instead just keep the fingerprint.
This patch implements and uses diff_free_filespec_data_large
to accomplish that goal. We also have to change
estimate_similarity not to needlessly repopulate the
filespec data when we already have the hash.
Practical tests showed 4.5x speedup for a 10% memory usage
increase.

Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff generation
We used to incorrectly start calculating diffs whenever any argument but
'-z' was recognized by the diff options parsing. That was bogus, since not
all arguments result in diffs being needed, so we just waste a lot of time
and effort on calculating diffs that don't matter.
This actually also fixes another bug in "git log". Try this:
git log -C
and notice how it prints an extra empty line in between log entries, even
though it never prints the actual diff (because we didn't ask for any diff
format, so the diff machinery never prints anything).
With this patch, that bogus empty line is gone, because "revs->diff" is
never set. So this isn't just a "wasted time and effort" issue, it's also
a slight semantic fix.

In 'commitdiff' view, for the merge commit, there is an extra header

This means that for trivial merge you have to go to 'commit' view

Supplant the "while case ... break ;; esac" idiom
A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with
while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac
and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.
A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

git-commit: Allow partial commit of file removal.
When making a partial commit, git-commit uses git-ls-files with
the --error-unmatch option to expand and sanity check the user
supplied path patterns. When any path pattern does not match
with the paths known to the index, it errors out, in order to
catch a common mistake to say "git commit Makefiel cache.h"
and end up with a commit that touches only cache.h (notice the
misspelled "Makefile"). This detection however does not work
well when the path has already been removed from the index.
If you drop a path from the index and try to commit that
partially, i.e.
$ git rm COPYING
$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING
the command complains because git does not know anything about
COPYING anymore.
This introduces a new option --with-tree to git-ls-files and
uses it in git-commit when we build a temporary index to
write a tree object for the partial commit.
When --with-tree=<tree-ish> option is specified, names from the
given tree are added to the set of names the index knows about,
so we can treat COPYING file in the example as known.
Of course, there is no reason to use "git rm" and git-aware
people have long time done:
$ rm COPYING
$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING
which works just fine. But this caused a constant confusion.

send-email: make message-id generation a bit more robust
Earlier code took Unix time and appended a few random digits.
If you are firing off many messages within a second, you could
issue the same id to different messages, which is a no-no. If
you send out 31 messages within a single second, with random
integer taken out of rand(4200), you have about 10% chance of

This fixes the problem by uses a prefix string which is

each message generated by the process appended at the end.

git-gui: Disable native platform text selection in "lists"
Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox.
This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left
of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better
choice then the native listbox widget.
In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection
we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region
and we perform our own selection management in the background
via keybindings and mouse bindings. In such uses we don't want
the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by
dragging their mouse through the text widget. Doing so creates a
very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may
mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget.
Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally
to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it
invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties
as unselected text. So long as we don't actually use the "sel"
tag for anything in code its effectively invisible.

documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapter
The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.
So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and

The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.
So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and
a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's
unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long
time, as some people may still depend on finding it there. But I think

revision walker: --cherry-pick is a limited operation
We used to rely on the fact that cherry-pick would trigger the code path
to set limited = 1 in handle_commit(), when an uninteresting commit was
encountered.
However, when cherry picking between two independent branches, i.e. when
there are no merge bases, and there is only linear development (which can
happen when you cvsimport a fork of a project), no uninteresting commit
will be encountered.
So set limited = 1 when --cherry-pick was asked for.

Split grep arguments in a way that does not requires to add /dev/null.
In order to (almost) always show the name of the file without
relying on "-H" option of GNU grep, we used to add /dev/null to
the argument list unless we are doing -l or -L. This caused
"/dev/null:0" to show up when -c is given in the output.
It is not enough to add -c to the set of options we do not pass
/dev/null for. When we have too many files, we invoke grep
multiple times and we need to avoid giving a widow filename to
the last invocation -- otherwise we will not see the name.
This keeps two filenames when the argv[] buffer is about to
overflow and we have not finished iterating over the index, so
that the last round will always have at least two paths to work
with (and not require /dev/null).
An obvious and the only exception is when there is only 1 file
that is given to the underlying grep, and in that case we avoid
passing /dev/null and let the external "grep -c" report only the
number of matches.

Bram Schoenmakers noticed that git-config document was formatted

some other times passed intact to roff format to confuse "man".
Since we refer to the repository metadata directory as $GIT_DIR

Fix the rename detection limit checking
This adds more proper rename detection limits. Instead of just checking
the limit against the number of potential rename destinations, we verify
that the rename matrix (which is what really matters) doesn't grow
ridiculously large, and we also make sure that we don't overflow when
doing the matrix size calculation.
This also changes the default limits from unlimited, to a rename matrix
that is limited to 100 entries on a side. You can raise it with the config
entry, or by using the "-l<n>" command line flag, but at least the default
is now a sane number that avoids spending lots of time (and memory) in
situations that likely don't merit it.
The choice of default value is of course very debatable. Limiting the
rename matrix to a 100x100 size will mean that even if you have just one
obvious rename, but you also create (or delete) 10,000 files, the rename
matrix will be so big that we disable the heuristics. Sounds reasonable to
me, but let's see if people hit this (and, perhaps more importantly,
actually *care*) in real life.

git-gui: Provide 'uninstall' Makefile target to undo an installation
Several users have requested a "make uninstall" target be provided
in the stock git-gui Makefile so that they can undo an install
if git-gui goes to the wrong place during the initial install,
or if they are unhappy with the tool and want to remove it from
their system.
We currently assume that the complete set of files we need to delete
are those defined by our Makefile and current source directory.
This could differ from what the user actually has installed if they
installed one version then attempt to use another to perform the
uninstall. Right now I'm just going to say that is "pilot error".
Users should uninstall git-gui using the same version of source
that they used to make the installation. Perhaps in the future we
could read tclIndex and base our uninstall decisions on its contents.
