When "git commit" was rewritten in C (v1.5.4-rc0~78^2~30,
2007-11-08), a subtle bug in --template was introduced. If the
file named by a --template parameter is missing, previously git
would error out with a message:
Commit template file does not exist.
but in the C version the --template parameter gets ignored and
the default template is used.
t7500 has two tests for this case which would have caught it, except
that with the default $EDITOR, the commit message template is left
unmodified, causing 'git commit' to error out and the test to
succeed.

When determine_author_info() returns to the calling prepare_to_commit(),
we already know the pieces of information necessary to determine what
author ident will be used in the final message, but deferred making a call
to fmt_ident() before the final commit_tree(). Most importantly, we would
open the editor to ask the user to compose the log message before it.
As one important side effect of fmt_ident() is to error out when the given
information is malformed, this resulted in us spawning the editor first
and then refusing to commit due to error, even though we had enough
information to detect the error before starting the editor, which was
annoying.
Move the fmt_ident() call to the end of determine_author_info() where we
have final determination of author info to rectify this.

This option makes it convenient to construct commit messages for use

"squash! ..." where "..." is the subject line of the specified commit

If an editor is invoked (as with -c or -eF or no message options) the

In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.
Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before
1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for
submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users
having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option,
as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work
tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter.
And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that
by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config
option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the
output of the submodule summary).
A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this
option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already
knew it.

We generally disallow empty commits with "git commit". The
output produced by the wt_status functions is generally
sufficient to explain what happened.
With --amend commits, however, things are a little more
confusing. We would create an empty commit not if you
actually have staged changes _now_, but if your staged
changes match HEAD^. In this case, it is not immediately
obvious why "git commit" claims no changes, but "git status"
does not. Furthermore, we should point the user in the
direction of git reset, which would eliminate the empty
commit entirely.

Though I have not seen this in the wild, it has been said that there
are likely to be git repositories converted from other version control
systems with an invalid ident line like this one:
author <user@example.com> 18746342 +0000
Because there is no space between the (empty) user name and the email
address, commit --amend chokes. When searching for a
space-left-bracket sequence on the ident line, it finds it in the
committer line, ending up utterly confused.
Better for commit --amend to treat this like a valid ident line with
empty username and complain.

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.

We need to update the index before hooks run when actually making a

If we can, then we have already spent cycles to refresh the index and
it is a waste not to write it out, but it is not a disaster if we cannot
write it out. The main reason the user is running "git status" is to get

Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.
A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.
For commit, the error message used to look like this:
$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees
The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.
The new output looks like:
U foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.
Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.
The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

When parsing the config file, if there is a value that is
syntactically correct but unused, we generally ignore it.
This lets non-core porcelains store arbitrary information in
the config file, and it means that configuration files can
be shared between new and old versions of git (the old
versions might simply ignore certain configuration).
The one exception to this is color configuration; if we
encounter a color.{diff,branch,status}.$slot variable, we
die if it is not one of the recognized slots (presumably as
a safety valve for user misconfiguration). This behavior
has existed since 801235c (diff --color: use
$GIT_DIR/config, 2006-06-24), but hasn't yet caused a
problem. No porcelain has wanted to store extra colors, and
we once a color area (like color.diff) has been introduced,
we've never changed the set of color slots.
However, that changed recently with the addition of
color.diff.func. Now a user with color.diff.func in their
config can no longer freely switch between v1.6.6 and older
versions; the old versions will complain about the existence
of the variable.
This patch loosens the check to match the rest of
git-config; unknown color slots are simply ignored. This
doesn't fix this particular problem, as the older version
(without this patch) is the problem, but it at least
prevents it from happening again in the future.

Suggesting "'reset HEAD <path>' to unstage" is dead wrong if we are about
to record a merge commit. For either an unmerged path (i.e. with
unresolved conflicts), or an updated path, it would result in discarding
what the other branch did.
Note that we do not do anything special in a case where we are amending a
merge. The user is making an evil merge starting from an already
committed merge, and running "reset HEAD <path>" is the right way to get
rid of the local edit that has been added to the index.
Once "reset --unresolve <path>" becomes available, we might want to
suggest it for a merged path that has unresolve information, but until
then, just remove the incorrect advice.
We might also want to suggest "checkout --conflict <path>" to revert the
file in the work tree to the state of failed automerge for an unmerged
path, but we never did that, and this commit does not change that.
