Documentation: do not misinterpret pull refspec as bold text
Use the {asterisk} entity to avoid mistreating the asterisks
in "(e.g., refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*)" as delimiters
for bold text.
From a quick search with 'git grep -e "\*.*\*"', this seems to
be the last example of this particular formatting problem.

Documentation: Fix mark-up of lines with more than one tilde
The manual pages of cherry-pick and revert had examples with two revisions
on the same line in the examples section, that looked like this:
git cherry-pick master~4 master~2::
Unfortunately, this is taken as a mark-up to make the part between two
tildes, "4 master", subscript. Use {tilde} to make it explicit that we
do want ~ characters in these places (backslash does not help).

The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.
What convention? Glad you asked.
The section name indicates the affected subsystem.
The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
an unbound set of things to set the value for.
The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
this knob.
The section and variable names can be broken into
words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
the reader. These word breaks are not significant
at the level of code, since the section and variable
names are not case sensitive.
The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like
[add]

does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for

implemented as a hard reset. This will cause untracked files to be
overwritten.
Instead, assume the empty tree for HEAD and do a regular merge. An
untracked file will cause the merge to abort and do nothing. If no

This patch takes a whole new approach, which is to describe
the sorts of conceptual operations you might want to
perform. It also includes a healthy dose of warnings about
how things can go wrong.
Since the size of the text is getting quite long, it also
splits this out into an "editing patches" section. This

already splits out the interactive mode description.

Documentation: document show -s
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option
as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but
the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree
manual.
The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit:
git show -s rev
Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the
'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it
would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper,
which says:
The command takes options applicable to the git
diff-tree command to control how the changes the
commit introduces are shown.
This manual page describes only the most frequently
used options.
Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

apply: don't segfault on binary files with missing data
Usually when applying a binary diff generated without
--binary, it will be rejected early, as we don't even have
the full sha1 of the pre- and post-images.
However, if the diff is generated with --full-index (but not
--binary), then we will actually try to apply it. If we have
the postimage blob, then we can take a shortcut and never
even look at the binary diff at all (e.g., this can happen
when rebasing changes within a repository).
If we don't have the postimage blob, though, we try to look
at the actual fragments, of which there are none, and get a
segfault. This patch checks explicitly for that case and
complains to the user instead of segfaulting. We need to
keep the check at a low level so that the "shortcut" case
above continues to work.
We also add a test that demonstrates the segfault. While
we're at it, let's also explicitly test the shortcut case.

repack: place temporary packs under .git/objects/pack/
git-pack-objects is already careful to start out its temporary packs
under .git/objects/pack/ (cf. 8b4eb6b, Do not perform cross-directory
renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22), but git-repack did not
respond in kind so the effort was lost when the filesystem boundary is
exactly at that directory.
Let git-repack pass a path under .git/objects/pack/ as the base for
its temporary packs.
This means we might need the $PACKDIR sooner (before the pack-objects
invocation), so move the mkdir up just to be safe.
Also note that the only use of *.pack is in the find invocation way
before the pack-objects call, so the temporary packs will not suddenly
show up in any wildcards because of the directory change.

send-pack: avoid redundant "pack-objects died with strange error"
Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant. The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).
Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.
So leave off the "strange error" messages.
The result should look something like this:
$ git push sf master
Counting objects: 21542, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
error: pack-objects died of signal 13
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'
$
Or in the "controlled exit" case (contrived example):
[...]
fatal: delta size changed
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://example.com/foo/bar'

Some .mailmap entry is of the <email1> <email2> form,
while a subsequent one looks like "User Name <Email2>,

but are "equal" when using a case-insensitive comparator.
Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL
and we free me->email, yet do not replace it with a new strdup'd string.
Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,
we reference freed memory.

Documentation: expand 'git diff' SEE ALSO section
Point in many directions in the hope of helping the reader find what
is needed more quickly.
This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry
for difftool, to avoid making the SEE ALSO list too verbose. If the
reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always
look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the
main git(1) page.

In practice, this will not matter much unless someone tries to use a

rev-list: handle %x00 NUL in user format
The code paths for showing commits in "git log" and "git
rev-list --graph" correctly handle embedded NULs by looking
only at the resulting strbuf's length, and never treating it
as a C string. The code path for regular rev-list, however,
used printf("%s"), which resulted in truncated output. This
patch uses fwrite instead, like the --graph code path.

submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty directories
If a submodule directory has not been filled by "git submodule update"
yet, then "git submodule sync" must still update the super-project's
configuration for submodule.<name>.url.
This situation occurs when switching between branches with a module from
different urls and other branches without the submodule.

CodingGuidelines: reword parameter expansion section
Group entries related to parameter substitutions together and avoid
using the word "regexp" to refer to the ${parameter/pattern/string}
substitution (banned), as the pattern there is a shell glob and not
a regular expression.

Documentation: No argument of ALLOC_GROW should have side-effects
The explanatory comment before the definition of ALLOC_GROW carefully
lists arguments that will be used more than once and thus cannot have
side-effects; a lazy reader might conclude that the arguments not
listed are used only once and side effects safe.
Correct it to list all three arguments, avoiding this confusion.

do not depend on signed integer overflow
Signed integer overflow is not defined in C, so do not depend on it.
This fixes a problem with GCC 4.4.0 and -O3 where the optimizer would
consider "consumed_bytes > consumed_bytes + bytes" as a constant
expression, and never execute the die()-call.
