Ahh, the heady days of 0.99 patchfiles
Now, not all projects can be as refined as Linux. Before the final 1.0
release, we went through fifteen 0.99 patchfiles, and pl14 alone went
through subreleases 'a' through 'z'. Now _that_ is a release process.
Not to mention the odd-ball releases, like 0.96c+
Sadly, in this day and age of RPM's etc, we have silly limitations, and
I cannot call this release '0.99pl5a or some such awe-inspiring name
just because "rpmbuild" is such a party pooper. So it's just 0.99.1.
Oh well. Aspiring to such greatness as the Linux release numbering is
hubris anyway. You can attain such perfection only once in your life.

Split up "diff_format" into "format" and "line_termination".
This removes the separate "formats" for name and name-with-zero-

It also removes the difference between HUMAN and MACHINE formats, and
they both become DIFF_FORMAT_RAW, with the difference being just in the
line and inter-filename termination.

Make "git checkout" create new branches on demand
In particular, if we check out something that isn't an old branch, it
now requires a new branch-name to check the thing out into.
So, for example:
git checkout -b my-branch v2.6.12
will create the new branch "my-branch", and start it at v2.6.12, while
git checkout master
will just switch back to the master branch.
Of course, if you want to create a new branch "my-branch" and _not_
check it out, you could have done so with just
git-rev-parse v2.6.12^0 > .git/refs/heads/my-branch
which I think I will codify as "git branch".

now requires a new branch-name to check the thing out into.
So, for example:
git checkout -b my-branch v2.6.12
will create the new branch "my-branch", and start it at v2.6.12, while
git checkout master
will just switch back to the master branch.
Of course, if you want to create a new branch "my-branch" and _not_
check it out, you could have done so with just
git-rev-parse v2.6.12^0 > .git/refs/heads/my-branch
which I think I will codify as "git branch".
Make "git checkout" verify that the argument refers to a commit
We still need to create a new branch if it didn't refer to an existing
branch, otherwise our HEAD will continue to point to something totally
different than what we just checked out.
I'll need to think about it. Maybe only do it with "-f" and force it to
the "master" branch?

git-rev-parse: Allow a "zeroth" parent of a commit - the commit itself.
This sounds nonsensical, but it's useful to make sure that the result is
a commit.
For example, "git-rev-parse v2.6.12" will return the _tag_ object for
v2.6.12, but "git-rev-parse v2.6.12^0" will return the _commit_ object
associated with that tag (and v2.6.12^1 will return the first parent).
Also, since the "parent" code will actually parse the commit, this,
together with the "--verify" flag, will verify not only that the result
is a single SHA1, but will also have verified that it's a proper commit
that we can see.

git-send-pack: Fix duplicate refname match
Cut-and-paste dup noticed by Junio. It's not even harmless, since a
match also causes that match to be invalidated, so this made it
impossible to update an existing branch by name.
I'd only tested the case of "ref doesn't exist at all on the other end",
which worked fine.

[PATCH] Dereference tag repeatedly until we get a non-tag.
When we allow a tag object in place of a commit object, we only
dereferenced the given tag once, which causes a tag that points at a tag
that points at a commit to be rejected. Instead, dereference tag

This patch makes change to two functions:
- commit.c::lookup_commit_reference() is used by merge-base,
rev-tree and rev-parse to convert user supplied SHA1 to that of
a commit.
- rev-list uses its own get_commit_reference() to do the same.
