This allows you to actually tell git that you've resolved a conflict.

This cuts down the work for the "real merge" to stuff where
people might actually disagree on the algorithm. The trivial
cases would seem to be totally independent of any policy.

This adds --stage option to show-files command.  It shows
file-mode, SHA1, stage and pathname.  Record separator follows
the usual convention of -z option as before.

The ce_namelen field has been renamed to ce_flags and split into
the top 2-bit unused, next 2-bit stage number and the lowest
12-bit name-length, stored in the network byte order.  A new
macro create_ce_flags() is defined to synthesize this value from
length and stage, but it forgets to turn the value into the
network byte order.  Here is a fix.

Normally you'd use state 0 for the "merged" state, and start out with
state 1 being "origin", state 2 being "first tree" and state 3 being
"second tree".

Once all the index entries are back in state 0, we have a successful
merge and can write the result tree back.

This is what allows us to have multiple states of the same file in
the index, and what makes it always sort correctly.

Of course, we can't even generate such an index yet, but give me
some time. This is a cunning plan. Let's see if it actually works.

(I feel like Wile E Coyote, waiting for the big rock to fall).

This will allow us to have the same name in different "states" in the
index at the same time. Which in turn seems to be a very simple way to
merge.

The cache-entry names are all proper strings, no need to worry about
their length.

This adds '-z' to merge-tree and changes its default line termination to

Default to the human-readable '\n', but make the scriptable "-z" flag
do the old '\0' behaviour.

This adds the '-q' option for show-diff.c to squelch complaints for
missing files.

It is handy if you want to run it in the merge temporary directory after
running merge-trees with its minimum checkout mode, which is the
default, because you would not find any files other than the ones that
needs human validation after the merge there. 

It also fixes the argument parsing bug Paul Mackerras noticed in
<16991.42305.118284.139777@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com> but slightly
differently.

This allows scripts to manually add entries to the cache explicitly.

Need to do some way to remove them too, even if the path exists.

This allows using a git tree over NFS with different byte order, and
makes it possible to just copy a fully populated repository and have
the end result immediately usable (needing just a refresh to update
the stat information).

This make all dates be stores as seconds since UTC epoch, with the
author's or committer's timezone as auxiliary data so that dates can be
pretty-printed in the original timezone later if anyone cares.  I left
the date parsing in rev-tree.c for backward compatibility but it can be
dropped when we change to base64 :)

commit-tree now eats RFC2822 dates as AUTHOR_DATE because that's
what you're going to want to feed it.

Yes, glibc sucks and strptime is a pile of crap. We have to parse it
ourselves.

This adds '-r' (recursive) option and '-z' (NUL terminated)
option to ls-tree.  I need it so that the merge-trees (formerly
known as git-merge.perl) script does not need to create any
temporary dircache while merging.  It used to use show-files on
a temporary dircache to get the list of files in the ancestor
tree, and also used the dircache to store the result of its
automerge.  I probably still need it for the latter reason, but
with this patch not for the former reason anymore.

It only works one directory level at a time, so lookout..

It's really a very generic thing: the notion of one sha1 revision
referring to another one. "fsck" uses it for all nodes, and "rev-tree"
only tracks commit-node relationships, but the code was already
the same - now we just make that explicit by moving it to a common
header file.

Not only did it test the #define the wrong way around, but
it also leaked file descriptors and VM space. This should
fix it.

command line.

"arbitrary" is a bit wrong, since it is limited by the argument
size limit (128kB or so), but let's see if anybody ever cares.
Arguably you should prune your tree before you have a few thousand
dangling heads in your archive.

We can fix it by passing in a file listing if we ever care.

parents that we reach multiple ways.

This doesn't matter right now. It _will_ matter once we have
complex revision graphs.

This makes things a lot more efficient, and makes it trivial to do things
like reachability analysis.

Add command line flags to tell what the head is, and whether to warn
about unreachable objects.

Changes diff-tree output format so that fields are separated by tabs instead of
spaces (readibility, parseability), and tree entry type is listed along the
entry (avoids having to figure that out from the mode in the scripts).

This is what my scripts expect.

The nsec field of ctime/mtime is now checked only with -DNSEC defined during

It used to always overwrite them if forced. Now it just
realizes that they are already ok, and don't need to be
touched.

Also, add "date" information to the output so that you can do something
like this:

	rev-tree `cat .git/HEAD` | sort -nr | cut -d' ' -f2 | while read i; do cat-file commit $i; done

which basically becomes a "git log" (aka "git changes") where things are
sorted by time.

To do the automated commit-mailing I need to be able to answer the
question "which commits are here today but weren't yesterday"...  i.e. 
given two commit-ids $HEAD and $YESTERDAY I want to be able to do:

	rev-tree $HEAD ^$YESTERDAY

to list those commits which are in the tree now but weren't
ancestors of yesterday's head.

Yes, I could probably do this with 
	rev-tree $HEAD $YESTERDAY | egrep -v ^[a-z0-9]*:3
but I prefer not to.

The ideas is that using the show-diff to generate the
patch including deleted and new file (in the next patch).
So we don't have to do the temp new file diff dance on the
script.

The cache index now contain enough information to generate
the whole patch. So the GIT SCM don't need separate command
for check out file to edit or delete. Just do the edit and
remove and GIT will generate the correct patch.

It still require tell GIT to add new files.
