Text between two '*' is emphasized in AsciiDoc and makes explanations in
rev-list-options.txt on glob-related options very confusing, as the
rendered text would be missing two asterisks and the text between them
would be emphasized instead.

Use '{asterisk}' where needed to make them show up as asterisks in the
rendered text.

When "git grep" is run with -P/--perl-regexp, it doesn't match ^ and $ at
the beginning/end of the line.  This is because PCRE normally matches ^
and $ at the beginning/end of the whole text, not for each line, and "git
grep" passes a large chunk of text (possibly containing many lines) to
pcre_exec() and then splits the text into lines.

This makes "git grep -P" behave differently from "git grep -E" and also
from "grep -P" and "pcregrep":

	$ cat file
	a
	 b
	$ git grep --no-index -P '^ ' file
	$ git grep --no-index -E '^ ' file
	file: b
	$ grep -c -P '^ ' file
	 b
	$ pcregrep -c '^ ' file
	 b

git-am.sh's check_patch_format function would attempt to preview
the patch to guess its format, but would go into an infinite loop
when the patch file happened to be empty.  The solution: exit the

The imap-send code was adapted from another project, and
still contains many unused bits of code. One of these bits
contains a type "struct string_list" which bears no
resemblence to the "struct string_list" we use elsewhere in
git. This causes the compiler to complain if git's
string_list ever becomes part of cache.h.

Let's just drop the dead code.

  diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_trees

Conflicts:
	GIT-VERSION-GEN

Signed-off-by: NJunio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation
modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths.
For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the
output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order
to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive
field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure
when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when
we have wildcards in the pathspec.

The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to
match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we
updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching
logic.

  thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as base

Signed-off-by: NJunio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try
to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate
for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg
is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it
is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did
not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack.

As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's
law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record
the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta
against it.

When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we
will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer.  But
the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us
from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another
object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a
suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we
could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred
base object) as the delta base.

Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on
computing delta against a preferred base object.

The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack
workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git
origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git
updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much
larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to
v1.2.0, and so on.

The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU
time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch:

                  dataset
            | reflog | tags
---------------------------------
     before | 53358  | 2750977
size  after | 32398  | 2668479
     change |   -39% |      -3%
---------------------------------
     before |  0.18  | 1.12
CPU   after |  0.18  | 1.15
     change |    +0% |      +3%

This patch makes a much bigger difference for packs with a shorter slice
of history (since its effect is seen at the boundaries of the pack) though
it has some benefit even for larger packs.

In prepare_attr_stack, we pop the old elements of the stack
(which were left from a previous lookup and may or may not
be useful to us). Our loop to do so checks that we never
reach the top of the stack. However, the code immediately
afterwards will segfault if we did actually reach the top of
the stack.

Fortunately, this is not an actual bug, since we will never
pop all of the stack elements (we will always keep the root
gitattributes, as well as the builtin ones). So the extra
check in the loop condition simply clutters the code and
makes the intent less clear. Let's get rid of it.

When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path,
we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup
(because it is common to do several lookups in the same
directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in
preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to
directories we are no longer interested in.

For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for:

  foo/bar/baz
  foo/bar
  foo

but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want
to pop the top element, but retain the others.

To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping
elements that do not match our lookup directory. However,
the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would
mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of
"foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character
after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path
component.

There are two special cases to consider:

  1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we
     must not check for '/', but rather special-case the
     empty path, which always matches.

  2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would
     also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the
     character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in
     this case, though, because our path string is actually
     just the directory component of the path to a file
     (i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the
     filename comes after that).

The sendemail.multiedit variable is meant to be a boolean.
However, it is not marked as such in the code, which means
we store its value literally. Thus in the do_edit function,
perl ends up coercing it to a boolean value according to
perl rules, not git rules. This works for "0", but "false",
"no", or "off" will erroneously be interpreted as true.

The wording seems to suggest that creating the directory is needed and the
setting of rerere.enabled is only for disabling the feature by setting it
to 'false'. But the configuration is meant to be the primary control and
setting it to 'true' will enable it; the rr-cache directory will be
created as necessary and the user does not have to create it.
