Currently, the description sounds as if it applied always, but most of
its content is true in "create tag mode" only.

Make this clearer by listing all modes upfront.

lightweight tags are "created" because "written" may be misread as

Quoting autoconf-2.68/NEWS:

  ** The macros AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, and
     AC_RUN_IFELSE now warn if the first argument failed to use
     AC_LANG_SOURCE or AC_LANG_PROGRAM to generate the conftest file

     a compelling reason why you cannot use AC_LANG_SOURCE but must
     avoid the warning.

The underlying reason for that change is that AC_LANG_{SOURCE,PROGRAM}
take care to supply the previously computed set of #defines (and
include standard headers if so desired) for preprocessed languages
like C and C++.

In some cases, AC_LANG_PROGRAM is already used but not sufficiently
m4-quoted, so we just need to add another set of [quotes] to prevent
the autoconf warning from being triggered bogusly.  Quoting all
arguments (except when calling special macros that need to be expanded
before recursion) is better style, anyway.  These and more rules are
described in detail in 'info Autoconf "Programming in M4"'.

fast-import: introduce "feature notes" command

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.

When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.

Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op.  On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like

This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.

So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes.  (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

rebase -i: clarify in-editor documentation of "exec"

The hints in the current "instruction sheet" template look like so:

 # Rebase 3f14246..a1d7e01 onto 3f14246
 #
 # Commands:
 #  p, pick = use commit
 #  r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
 #  e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
 #  s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
 #  f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
 #  x <cmd>, exec <cmd> = Run a shell command <cmd>, and stop if it fails
 #
 # If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
 # However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
 #

This does not make it clear that the format of each line is

<insn> <commit id> <explanatory text that will be printed>

but the reader will probably infer that from the automatically
generated pick examples above it.

What about the "exec" instruction?  By analogy, I might imagine that
the format of that line is "exec <command> <explanatory text>", and
the "x <cmd>" hint does not address that question (at first I read it
as taking an argument <cmd> that is the name of a shell).  Meanwhile,
the mention of <cmd> makes the hints harder to scan as a table.

So remove the <cmd> and add some words to remind the reader that
"exec" runs a command named by the rest of the line.  To make room, it
is left to the manpage to explain that that command is run using
$SHELL and that nonzero status from that command will pause the
rebase.

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include

M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 subdir

One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree
corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a
subtree.  It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree

rebase: use explicit "--" with checkout

In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:

  1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
     refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
     current branch instead of producing an error.

  2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
     explicit "--" is better:

       # before
       $ git rebase -i origin bogus
       error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.

       # after
       $ git rebase -i origin bogus
       fatal: invalid reference: bogus
       Could not checkout bogus

The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir

The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory.  Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.

However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process.  It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.

Jonathan Nieder [Thu, 6 Jan 2011 18:00:51 +0000 (12:00 -0600)]
t9010: svnadmin can fail even if available

If svn is built against one version of SQLite and run against another,
libsvn_subr needlessly errors out in operations that need to make a
commit.

That is clearly not a bug in git but let us consider the ramifications for
the test suite.  git-svn uses libsvn directly and is probably broken by
that bug; it is right for git-svn tests to fail.  The vcs-svn lib, on the
other hand, does not use libsvn and the test t9010 only uses svn to check
its work.  This points to two possible improvements:

 - do not disable most vcs-svn tests if svn is missing.
 - skip validation rather than failing it when svn fails.

Bring about both by putting the svn invocations into a single test that
builds a repo to compare the test-svn-fe result against.  The test will
always pass but only will set the new SVNREPO test prereq if svn succeeds;
and validation using that repo gets an SVNREPO prerequisite so it only
runs with working svn installations.

The documentation for the post-rewrite hook contains a paragraph from
its early development, where the automatic notes copying facilities
were not part of the series and thus this had to be a hook.  Later
versions of the series implemented notes copying as a core feature.

Thus mentioning post-rewrite-copy-notes was never correct.  As the
other hooks do not have a "there is no default hook, but..." sentence
unless they ship a sample hook in either templates or contrib, we
