Junio points out that we may need to create the path leading
up the the file we merge.

And we need to be more careful with the "exec"s we've done
to exit on success - only do the on the last command in the
pipeline, not the first one ;)

Chain the resolving sequences (e.g. git-cat-file - chmod -
git-update-cache) through &&s so we stop right away in case one of the
command fails, and report the error code to the script caller.

Also add a copyright notice, some blank lines, ;; on a separate line,
and nicer error messages.

Pointed out by Junio.

This patch tidies up the git-rev-list documentation and epoch.c, which
are in severe clash with the unwritten coding style now, and quite
unreadable.

It also fixes up compile failures with older compilers due to variable
declarations after code.

The patch mostly wraps lines before or on the 80th column, removes
plenty of superfluous empty lines and changes comments from // to /* */.

This changes how we handle merges: if a automated merge
fails, we will leave the index as a clean entry pointing
to the original branch, and leave the actual file _dirty_
the way the "merge" program left it.

You can then just do "git-diff-files -p" to see what the
merge conflicts did, fix them up, and commit the end result.

NOTE NOTE NOTE! Do _not_ use "git commit" to commit such
a merge. It won't set the parents right. I'll need to fix
that. In the meantime, you'd need to merge using

	git-commit-tree $(git-write) -p HEAD -p MERGE_HEAD

or something like that by hand.

NULL is not considered a VALID pathspec.

This updates t1000 (basic 3-way merge test) to check the merge
results for both successful cases (earlier one checked the
result for only one of them).  Also fixes typos in t1002 that
broke '&&' chain, potentially missing a test failure before the
chain got broken.

In particular, make them readable on one line since that's what all the
tools like git-shortlog and gitk end up showing.

This patch fixes three bugs in --merge-order support
    * mark_ancestors_uninteresting was unnecessarily exponential which
      caused a problem when a commit with no parents was merged near the
      head of something like the linux kernel
    * removed a spurious statement from find_base which wasn't
      apparently causing problems now, but wasn't correct either.
    * removed an unnecessarily strict check from find_base_for_list
      that causes a problem if git-rev-list commit ^parent-of-commit
      is specified.
    * added some unit tests which were accidentally omitted from
      original merge-order patch

The fix to mark_ancestors_uninteresting isn't an optimal fix - a full
graph scan will still be performed in this case even though it is
not strictly required. However, a full graph scan is linear
and still no worse than git-rev-list HEAD which runs in less than 2
seconds on a warm cache.

cvsps seems to put a space after the tag name, so we remove it first.

(but it will result in a warning)

We should add a lot more information about how you copy repositories,
pulling and pushing, merging etc.  Oh, well.  I'm not exactly known for

This gets the "cvs2git" program from the old git-tools
archive, and adds a nice script around it that makes it
much easier to use.

With this, you should be able to import a CVS archive
using just a simple

	git cvsimport <cvsroot> <module>

and you're done. At least it worked for my one single test.

NOTE!! This may need tweaking. It currently expects (and
verifies) that cvsps version 2.1 is installed, but you
can't actually set any of the cvsps parameters, like the
time fuzz.

Allow traditional ssh path specifiers (host:path), and let the user
override the command name on the other end.

With this, I can push to kernel.org with this script

	export GIT_SSH_PULL=/home/torvalds/bin/git-ssh-pull
	git-ssh-push -a -v -w heads/master heads/master master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

which while not pretty is at least workable.

This implements the "never lose the current cache information or

failure" principle in the fast-forward two-tree merge operation.

This fixes the documentation for git-ssh-push, as called by users (if you
run git-ssh-pull or git-ssh-push on one machine, the other runs on the
other machine, and they transfer data in the specified direction).

This also adds documentation for the -w option and for using filenames for
the commit-id (which does what you'd want: uses the source side's value,
not the value already on the target, even if you're running it on the
target).

It also credits me with the programs and the documentation for
git-ssh-push.

No point in doing a tree write that will just throw
confusing messages on the screen.

Don't continue with a merge if the fetch failed.

We used to overwrite peoples dirty state.  We don't any more.  So don't
print the scary message and don't delay, just do the update already.

receiving side write the commit that was transferred to a reference file.

Looking good, but hey, it's not like I even have a real testcase for any
of this.  But unlike the mess that this was yerstday, today read-cache
is pretty readable and understandable.  Which is always a good sign.

Stop trying to haev this stateful thing that keeps track of what it has
seen, and use a much simpler "gather all the different stages with the
same name together and just merge them in one go" approach.

Makes it a lot more understandable, and allows the different merge
algorithms to share the basic merge loop.
