In commit 56752391 (Make "git gc" pack all refs by default,
2007-05-24), 'git gc' was changed to run pack-refs by default

Versions before v1.5.1.2 cannot clone repos with packed refs over
http, and versions before v1.4.4 cannot handled packed refs at
all, but more recent git should have no problems.  Try to make
this more clear in the git-config manual.

The analagous passage in git-gc.txt was updated already with
commit fe2128a8 (Change git-gc documentation to reflect
gc.packrefs implementation., 2008-01-09).

The fast-import parser does not validate that the author, committer

Therefore the name component has always been optional.  Correct the

  commit: --cleanup is a message option
  t7102: make the test fail if one of its check fails

In the usage message for "git commit", the --cleanup option appeared
at the end, as one of the "contents options":

usage: git commit [options] [--] <filepattern>...
...
Commit message options
...
Commit contents options
...
    --allow-empty         ok to record an empty change
    --cleanup <default>   how to strip spaces and #comments from message

This is confusing, in part because it makes it ambiguous whether
--allow-empty, just above, refers to an empty diff or an empty message.

Move --cleanup into the 'message options' group.  Also add a pair of
comments to prevent similar oversights in the future.

  t1200: work around a bug in some implementations of "find"

Input to "grep" is supposed to be "text", but we deliberately feed output
from "git diff --color" to sift it into two sets of lines (ones with
errors, the other without).  Some implementations of "grep" only report
matches with the exit status, without showing the matched lines in their
output (e.g. OpenBSD 4.6, which says "Binary file .. matches").

Fortunately, "grep -a" is often a way to force the command to treat its
input as text.

"find path ..." command should exit with zero status only when all path
operands were traversed successfully.  When a non-existent path is given,
however, some implementations of "find" (e.g. OpenBSD 4.6) exit with zero
status and break the last test in t1200.

Rewrite the test to check that there is no regular files in the objects
fan-out directories to work around this bug; it is closer to what we are
testing anyway.

svn+ssh:// repositories often have userinfo embedded in the URL
which were stripped out of the "git-svn-id:" trailers.  Since
the SVN::Client::copy function takes userinfo into account when
matching URLs for SVN repositories, we need to retrieve the full
URL with embedded userinfo in it to avoid mismatched URLs.

Change git-svn not to impose a limit of 16 parents on a merge.

This limit in git-svn artificially prevents cloning svn repositories
that contain commits with more than 16 merge parents.

The limit was removed from builtin-commit-tree.c for git v1.6.0 in commit
ef98c5ca, so there is no need to check for it
it in git-svn.

The old function was incorrect; in some instances it marks a cherry picked
range as a merged branch (because of an incorrect assumption that
'rev-list COMMIT --not RANGE' would work).  This is replaced with a
function which should detect them correctly, memoized to limit the expense
of dealing with branches with many cherry picks to one 'merge-base' call
per merge, per branch which used cherry picking.
Signed-off-by: NSam Vilain <sam@vilain.net>

The old function would have to check all mentioned merge tips, every time
that the mergeinfo ticket changed.  This involved 1-2 rev-list operation
for each listed mergeinfo line.  If there are a lot of feature branches
being merged into a trunk, this makes for a very expensive operation for
detecting the new parents on every merge.

This new version first uses a single 'rev-list' to figure out which commit
ranges are already reachable from the parents.  This is used to eliminate
the already merged branches from the list.

SVN's list of commit ranges in mergeinfo tickets is inclusive, whereas
git commit ranges are exclusive on the left hand side.  Also, the end
points of the commit ranges may not exist; they simply delineate
ranges of commits which may or may not exist.  Fix these two mistakes.

Each time the svn mergeinfo ticket changes, we look it up in the rev_map;
when there are a lot of merged branches, this will result in many repeated
lookups of the same information for subsequent commits.  Arrange the slow
part of the function so that it may be memoized, and memoize it.  The more
expensive revision walking operation can be memoized separately.

When using the -r/--revision argument to fetch deleted history,
calling SVN::Ra::get_log() from an SVN::Ra object initialized
to track the deleted URL will fail.

This regression was introduced in:
  commit 4aacaeb3
  "fix shallow clone when upstream revision is too new"

We now ignore errors from SVN::Ra::get_log() here because using
--revision will always override the value of $head here if
(and only if) we're tracking deleted directories.

  rebase -i: abort cleanly if the editor fails to launch
  technical-docs: document hash API
  api-strbuf.txt: fix typos and document launch_editor()

If the user's configured editor is emacsclient, the editor
will fail to launch if emacs is not running and the git
command that tried to lanuch the editor will abort. For most
commands, all you have to do is to start emacs and repeat
the command.

The "git rebase -i" command, however, aborts without cleaning
the "$GIT_DIR/rebase-merge" directory if it fails to launch the
editor, so you'll need to do "git rebase --abort" before
repeating the rebase command.

Change "git rebase -i" to terminate using "die_abort" (instead of
with "die") if the initial launch of the editor fails.
