This was already the case before commit 9e4b7ab6 (git status: not
"commit --dry-run" anymore, 2009-08-15) with the difference that it died
at failure.
It got lost during the new implementation of "git status", which was
meant to only change behaviour when invoked with arguments.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.

We need to update the index before hooks run when actually making a
commit, but we shouldn't have to write the index when running "status".
If we can, then we have already spent cycles to refresh the index and
it is a waste not to write it out, but it is not a disaster if we cannot
write it out.  The main reason the user is running "git status" is to get
the "status", and refreshing the index is a mere side effect that we can
do without.

There are a few cases of user identity information that we consider
interesting:

  (1) When the author and committer identities do not match.

  (2) When the committer identity was picked automatically from the

In these cases, we already show the information in the commit

because they might use "-m" or "-F". With this patch, we show these
interesting cases after the commit, along with the subject and
change summary. The new output looks like:

Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.

A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

bb1ae3f6 (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to
check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it
assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config()
is called, which was fragile.  The former calls setup_ident() and fills
the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have
mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided.

When parsing the config file, if there is a value that is
syntactically correct but unused, we generally ignore it.
This lets non-core porcelains store arbitrary information in
the config file, and it means that configuration files can
be shared between new and old versions of git (the old
versions might simply ignore certain configuration).

The one exception to this is color configuration; if we
encounter a color.{diff,branch,status}.$slot variable, we
die if it is not one of the recognized slots (presumably as
a safety valve for user misconfiguration). This behavior
has existed since 801235c5 (diff --color: use
$GIT_DIR/config, 2006-06-24), but hasn't yet caused a
problem. No porcelain has wanted to store extra colors, and
we once a color area (like color.diff) has been introduced,
we've never changed the set of color slots.

However, that changed recently with the addition of
color.diff.func. Now a user with color.diff.func in their
config can no longer freely switch between v1.6.6 and older
versions; the old versions will complain about the existence
of the variable.

This patch loosens the check to match the rest of
git-config; unknown color slots are simply ignored. This
doesn't fix this particular problem, as the older version
(without this patch) is the problem, but it at least
prevents it from happening again in the future.

Suggesting "'reset HEAD <path>' to unstage" is dead wrong if we are about
to record a merge commit.  For either an unmerged path (i.e. with
unresolved conflicts), or an updated path, it would result in discarding
what the other branch did.

Note that we do not do anything special in a case where we are amending a
merge.  The user is making an evil merge starting from an already
committed merge, and running "reset HEAD <path>" is the right way to get
rid of the local edit that has been added to the index.

Once "reset --unresolve <path>" becomes available, we might want to
suggest it for a merged path that has unresolve information, but until
then, just remove the incorrect advice.

We might also want to suggest "checkout --conflict <path>" to revert the
file in the work tree to the state of failed automerge for an unmerged
path, but we never did that, and this commit does not change that.

We have three output formats: short, porcelain, and long.
The short and long formats respect user-config, and the
porcelain one does not. This led to us repeating
config-related setup code for the short and long formats.

Since the last commit, color config is explicitly cleared
when showing the porcelain format. Let's do the same with
relative-path configuration, which enables us to hoist the
duplicated code from the switch statement in cmd_status.

As a bonus, this fixes "commit --dry-run --porcelain", which
was unconditionally setting up that configuration, anyway.

When we use -c, -C, or --amend, we are trying one of two things: using the
source as a template or modifying a commit with corrections.

When these options are used, the authorship and timestamp recorded in the
newly created commit are always taken from the original commit.  This is
inconvenient when we just want to borrow the commit log message or when
our change to the code is so significant that we should take over the
authorship (with the blame for bugs we introduce, of course).

The new --reset-author option is meant to solve this need by regenerating
the timestamp and setting the committer as the new author.

The "short" format was added to "git status" recently to
provide a less verbose way of looking at the same
information. This has two practical uses:

  1. Users who want a more dense display of the information.

  2. Scripts which want to parse the information and need a
     stable, easy-to-parse interface.

For now, the "--short" format covers both of those uses.
However, as time goes on, users of (1) may want additional
format tweaks, or for "git status" to change its behavior
based on configuration variables. Those wishes will be at
odds with (2), which wants to stability for scripts.

This patch introduces a separate --porcelain option early to
avoid problems later on.  Right now the --short and
--porcelain outputs are identical. However, as time goes on,
we will have the freedom to customize --short for human
consumption while keeping --porcelain stable.

more concise way.

about previewing of "git commit" with the same arguments.

PATH1 is the path in the HEAD, and " -> PATH2" part is shown only when
PATH1 corresponds to a different path in the index/worktree.

For unmerged entries, X shows the status of stage #2 (i.e. ours) and Y
shows the status of stage #3 (i.e. theirs).  For entries that do not have
conflicts, X shows the status of the index, and Y shows the status of the
work tree.  For untracked paths, XY are "??".

When given -z option, the records are terminated by NUL characters for
