[Graduated to "master"]

* cb/open-noatime-clear-errno (2015-08-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-17 at 6aa43a1)
+ git_open_noatime: return with errno=0 on success

When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno
leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and
then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses
O_NOATIME. This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the
packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the
object does not exist in that packfile to the caller.


* dt/notes-multiple (2015-08-11) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 0052055)
+ notes: handle multiple worktrees
+ worktrees: add find_shared_symref

When linked worktree is used, simultaneous "notes merge" instances
for the same ref in refs/notes/* are prevented from stomping on
each other.


* dt/refs-pseudo (2015-08-11) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 7078eb6)
+ pseudoref: check return values from read_ref()
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-03 at 3eafd33)
+ sequencer: replace write_cherry_pick_head with update_ref
+ bisect: use update_ref
+ pseudorefs: create and use pseudoref update and delete functions
+ refs: add ref_type function
+ refs: introduce pseudoref and per-worktree ref concepts

To prepare for allowing a different "ref" backend to be plugged in
to the system, update_ref()/delete_ref() have been taught about
ref-like things like MERGE_HEAD that are per-worktree (they will
always be written to the filesystem inside $GIT_DIR).


* ee/clean-remove-dirs (2015-08-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at fc41b09)
+ t7300-clean: require POSIXPERM for chmod 0 test

Test updates for Windows.


* jc/finalize-temp-file (2015-08-10) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 6fe62fe)
+ sha1_file.c: rename move_temp_to_file() to finalize_object_file()

Long overdue micro clean-up.


* jh/strbuf-read-use-read-in-full (2015-08-10) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at db16247)
+ strbuf_read(): skip unnecessary strbuf_grow() at eof

strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary
strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated.


* jk/git-path (2015-08-10) 16 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 7ebe864)
+ memoize common git-path "constant" files
+ get_repo_path: refactor path-allocation
+ find_hook: keep our own static buffer
+ refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbuf
+ refs.c: avoid git_path assignment in lock_ref_sha1_basic
+ refs.c: avoid repeated git_path calls in rename_tmp_log
+ refs.c: simplify strbufs in reflog setup and writing
+ path.c: drop git_path_submodule
+ refs.c: remove extra git_path calls from read_loose_refs
+ remote.c: drop extraneous local variable from migrate_file
+ prefer mkpathdup to mkpath in assignments
+ prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous cases
+ add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entries
+ t5700: modernize style
+ cache.h: complete set of git_path_submodule helpers
+ cache.h: clarify documentation for git_path, et al
(this branch is used by sb/submodule-helper.)

git_path() and mkpath() are handy helper functions but it is easy
to misuse, as the callers need to be careful to keep the number of
active results below 4. Their uses have been reduced.


* jk/guess-repo-name-regression-fix (2015-08-10) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 4cba33c)
+ clone: use computed length in guess_dir_name
+ clone: add tests for output directory
(this branch is used by ps/guess-repo-name-at-root.)

"git clone $URL" in recent releases of Git contains a regression in
the code that invents a new repository name incorrectly based on
the $URL. This has been corrected.


* jk/long-error-messages (2015-08-11) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 36303cd)
+ vreportf: avoid intermediate buffer
+ vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles

The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to
the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while
calling die().


* jk/negative-hiderefs (2015-08-07) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at bdc478d)
+ refs: support negative transfer.hideRefs
+ docs/config.txt: reorder hideRefs config

A negative !ref entry in multi-value transfer.hideRefs
configuration can be used to say "don't hide this one".


* jk/test-with-x (2015-08-07) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 06576a1)
+ test-lib: disable trace when test is not verbose
+ test-lib: turn off "-x" tracing during chain-lint check

Running tests with the "-x" option to make them verbose had some
unpleasant interactions with other features of the test suite.


* mh/tempfile (2015-08-12) 16 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 80efcb7)
+ credential-cache--daemon: use tempfile module
+ credential-cache--daemon: delete socket from main()
+ gc: use tempfile module to handle gc.pid file
+ lock_repo_for_gc(): compute the path to "gc.pid" only once
+ diff: use tempfile module
+ setup_temporary_shallow(): use tempfile module
+ write_shared_index(): use tempfile module
+ register_tempfile(): new function to handle an existing temporary file
+ tempfile: add several functions for creating temporary files
+ prepare_tempfile_object(): new function, extracted from create_tempfile()
+ tempfile: a new module for handling temporary files
+ commit_lock_file(): use get_locked_file_path()
+ lockfile: add accessor get_lock_file_path()
+ lockfile: add accessors get_lock_file_fd() and get_lock_file_fp()
+ create_bundle(): duplicate file descriptor to avoid closing it twice
+ lockfile: move documentation to lockfile.h and lockfile.c

The "lockfile" API has been rebuilt on top of a new "tempfile" API.


* mm/pull-upload-pack (2015-07-30) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 14d2a52)
+ pull.sh: quote $upload_pack when passing it to git-fetch

"git pull" in recent releases of Git has a regression in the code
that allows custom path to the --upload-pack=<program>. This has
been corrected.

Note that this is irrelevant for 'master' with "git pull" rewritten
in C.


* nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs (2015-08-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at bb73f4d)
+ t2019: skip test requiring '*' in a file name non Windows

Test updates for Windows.


* ps/guess-repo-name-at-root (2015-08-10) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 088860f)
+ clone: abort if no dir name could be guessed
+ clone: do not use port number as dir name
+ clone: do not include authentication data in guessed dir
(this branch uses jk/guess-repo-name-regression-fix.)

"git clone $URL", when cloning from a site whose sole purpose is to
host a single repository (hence, no path after <scheme>://<site>/),
tried to use the site name as the new repository name, but did not
remove username or password when <site> part was of the form
<user>@<pass>:<host>. The code is taught to redact these.


* ps/t1509-chroot-test-fixup (2015-08-05) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 6d10ea5)
+ tests: fix cleanup after tests in t1509-root-worktree
+ tests: fix broken && chains in t1509-root-worktree

t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some
bitrot, which has been corrected.


* pt/am-builtin-options (2015-08-12) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at e57f754)
+ am: let --signoff override --no-signoff
+ am: let command-line options override saved options
+ test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty
(this branch is used by jc/am-state-fix.)

After "git am --opt1" stops, running "git am --opt2" pays attention
to "--opt2" only for the patch that caused the original invocation
to stop.


* sb/check-return-from-read-ref (2015-08-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 4a1c801)
+ transport-helper: die on errors reading refs.


* tb/complete-rebase-i-edit-todo (2015-08-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 9606c21)
+ completion: offer '--edit-todo' during interactive rebase

The command-line completion script (in contrib/) has been updated.

* jc/am-state-fix (2015-08-25) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-25 at 4efcd88)
+ write_file(): drop caller-supplied LF from calls to create a one-liner file
+ write_file_v(): do not leave incomplete line at the end
+ write_file(): drop "fatal" parameter
+ builtin/am: make sure state files are text
+ builtin/am: introduce write_state_*() helper functions
* dt/untracked-subdir (2015-08-19) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-25 at ab4fd04)
+ untracked cache: fix entry invalidation
+ untracked-cache: fix subdirectory handling
(this branch uses dt/untracked-sparse.)

Recent reimplementation of "git am" changed the format of state
files kept in $GIT_DIR/rebase-apply/ without meaning to do so,
primarily because write_file() API was cumbersome to use and it was
easy to mistakenly make text files with incomplete lines. Update
write_file() interface to make it harder to misuse.
The experimental untracked-cache feature were buggy when paths with
a few levels of subdirectories are involved.

Will merge to 'master'.

* ep/http-configure-ssl-version (2015-08-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-19 at aab726b)
+ http: add support for specifying the SSL version

A new configuration variable http.sslVersion can be used to specify
what specific version of SSL/TLS to use to make a connection.


* jc/calloc-pathspec (2015-08-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-25 at 877490c)
+ ps_matched: xcalloc() takes nmemb and then element size

Will merge to 'master'.
Minor code cleanup.


* jc/log-p-cc (2015-08-25) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-25 at 2d6a6d4)
+ builtin/log.c: minor reformat
+ log: show merge commit when --cc is given
+ log: when --cc is given, default to -p unless told otherwise
+ log: rename "tweak" helpers
* jv/send-email-selective-smtp-auth (2015-08-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-19 at 3f0c693)
+ send-email: provide whitelist of SMTP AUTH mechanisms

"git log --cc" did not show any patch, even though most of the time
the user meant "git log --cc -p -m" to see patch output for commits
with a single parent, and combined diff for merge commits. The
command is taught to DWIM "--cc" (without "--raw" and other forms
of output specification) to "--cc -p -m".

Will merge to 'master'.
"git send-email" learned a new option --smtp-auth to limit the SMTP
AUTH mechanisms to be used to a subset of what the system library
supports.


* jk/fix-alias-pager-config-key-warnings (2015-08-24) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-25 at 89eac5a)
+ config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keys
* po/po-readme (2015-08-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-19 at 1899e59)
+ po/README: Update directions for l10n contributors

Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and
"pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo'
as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these
keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a
git command'. These warning messages have been squelched.

Will merge to 'master'.
Doc updates for i18n.


* jk/rev-list-has-no-notes (2015-08-24) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-25 at 73cb2ad)

* pt/am-builtin-abort-fix (2015-08-19) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-19 at 729e682)
+ am --skip/--abort: merge HEAD/ORIG_HEAD tree into index

"git rev-list" does not take "--notes" option, but did not complain
when one is given.

Will merge to 'master'.


* kn/for-each-tag (2015-08-25) 15 commits
- SQUASH??? a tag longer than 15 bytes break alignment but keeps SP before the message
- tag.c: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options
- tag.c: implement '--format' option
- tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs
- tag.c: use 'ref-filter' data structures
- ref-filter: add option to match literal pattern
- ref-filter: add support to sort by version
- ref-filter: support printing N lines from tag annotation
- ref-filter: add option to filter out tags, branches and remotes
- ref-filter: implement an `align` atom
- utf8: add function to align a string into given strbuf
- ref-filter: introduce ref_formatting_state and ref_formatting_stack
- ref-filter: move `struct atom_value` to ref-filter.c
- Merge 'jk/git-path' into kn/for-each-tag
- Merge 'kn/for-each-tag-branch' into kn/for-each-tag
(this branch uses kn/for-each-tag-branch.)

The "ref-filter" code was taught about many parts of what "tag -l"
does and then "tag -l" is reimplemented in terms of "ref-filter".

Almost there...


* nd/fixup-linked-gitdir (2015-08-25) 1 commit
- setup: update the right file in multiple checkouts

The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover
from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file.

- apply: fix adding new files on i-t-a entries
- Add and use convenient macro ce_intent_to_add()
- blame: remove obsolete comment

Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not yet
in the index, but various commands behaved as if they already are.

Some commits need better explanation.

Waiting for a reroll.


* sg/describe-contains (2015-08-25) 1 commit
- describe --contains: default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given

"git describe" without argument defaulted to describe the HEAD
commit, but "git describe --contains" didn't. Arguably, in a
repository used for active development, such defaulting would not
be very useful as the tip of branch is typically not tagged, but it
is better to be consistent.

Will merge to 'next'.
"git am" that was recently reimplemented in C had a performance
regression in "git am --abort" that goes back to the version before
an attempted (and failed) patch application.

- commit: don't rewrite shared index unnecessarily

When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing
the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core
index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code
to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s).

- refs: clean up common_list

Move the refs used during a "git bisect" session to per-worktree
hierarchy refs/worktree/* so that independent bisect sessions can
be done in different worktrees.

Will merge to 'next' after squashing the update in.

- SQUASH??? a tag longer than 15 bytes break alignment but keeps SP before the message
- tag.c: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options
- tag.c: implement '--format' option
- tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs
- tag.c: use 'ref-filter' data structures
- ref-filter: add option to match literal pattern
- ref-filter: add support to sort by version
- ref-filter: support printing N lines from tag annotation
- ref-filter: add option to filter out tags, branches and remotes
- ref-filter: implement an `align` atom
- utf8: add function to align a string into given strbuf
- ref-filter: introduce ref_formatting_state and ref_formatting_stack
- ref-filter: move `struct atom_value` to ref-filter.c
- Merge 'jk/git-path' into kn/for-each-tag
- Merge 'kn/for-each-tag-branch' into kn/for-each-tag
(this branch uses kn/for-each-tag-branch.)

The "ref-filter" code was taught about many parts of what "tag -l"
does and then "tag -l" is reimplemented in terms of "ref-filter".

Almost there...
Waiting for a reroll.

+ setup: update the right file in multiple checkouts

The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover
from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file.

Will merge to 'master'.


* nd/ita-cleanup (2015-08-25) 6 commits
- grep: make it clear i-t-a entries are ignored
- checkout(-index): do not checkout i-t-a entries
- apply: make sure check_preimage() does not leave empty file on error
- apply: fix adding new files on i-t-a entries
- Add and use convenient macro ce_intent_to_add()
- blame: remove obsolete comment

Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not yet
in the index, but various commands behaved as if they already are.

Some commits need better explanation.

Waiting for a reroll.


* sg/describe-contains (2015-08-25) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-26 at a7c66d9)
+ describe --contains: default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given

"git describe" without argument defaulted to describe the HEAD
commit, but "git describe --contains" didn't. Arguably, in a
repository used for active development, such defaulting would not
be very useful as the tip of branch is typically not tagged, but it
is better to be consistent.

* db/push-sign-if-asked (2015-08-19) 9 commits
- push: add a config option push.gpgSign for default signed pushes

- Documentation/git-send-pack.txt: document --signed
- Documentation/git-send-pack.txt: wrap long synopsis line
- Documentation/git-push.txt: document when --signed may fail

The client side codepaths in "git push" have been cleaned up
and the user can request to perform an optional "signed push",
i.e. sign only when the other end accepts signed push.

I think this is ready for 'next', but did I miss comments that need
to be addressed before it happens?

Having a leftover .idx file without correspoinding .pack file in
the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.

"git am" that was recently reimplemented in C had a performance
regression in "git am --abort" that goes back to the version before
an attempted (and failed) patch application.
