I still really want a section on interoperability with CVS, subversion,
etc., but I'm not getting around to it very fast, so just add this to
the TODO section for now. And a few other minor todo updates.

Direct editing of config files may be more natural for users than using
the git-config commandline; but we should still reference the
git-config man page when we describe such editing, so people know where
to go for details on the config file syntax and meanings of the
variables.

Keep git remote discussion in the first chapter, but postpone
lower-level git fetch usage (to fetch individual branches) till later.
Import a bunch of slightly modified text from the readme to give an
architectural overview at the end.
Add more discussion of history rewriting.
And a bunch of other miscellaneous changes....

* jc/int:
More tests in t3901.
Consistent message encoding while reusing log from an existing commit.
t3901: test "format-patch | am" pipe with i18n
Use log output encoding in --pretty=email headers.
* jc/subdir:
Allow whole-tree operations to be started from a subdirectory
Use cd_to_toplevel in scripts that implement it by hand.
Define cd_to_toplevel shell function in git-sh-setup
Originally I introduced read_or_die for the purpose of reading
the pack header and trailer, and I was too lazy to print proper
error messages.

If the user doesn't have SVN::Core installed or working then the
SVN tests properly turn themselves off. But the user doesn't need
to know that SVN::Core isn't loadable as a Perl module. Unless of
course they are trying to debug the test, so lets relegate the Perl
failures to --verbose only.

Suggesting the use of [-a|-i|-o] with git-commit is unnecessarily
complex and confusing. In this context -o is totally useless and -i
requires extra arguments which are not mentioned. The only sensible
hint (besides reading the man page but let's not go there) is
"commit -a".

This adds tests for "cherry-pick" and "rebase --merge" (and
indirectly "commit -C" since it is used in the latter) to make
sure they create a new commit with correct encoding.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The following commands can reuse log message from an existing
commit while creating a new commit:
git-cherry-pick
git-rebase (both with and without --merge)
git-commit (-c and -C)
When the original commit was made in a different encoding from
the current i18n.commitencoding, "cat-file commit" would give a
string that is inconsistent with what the resulting commit will
claim to be in. Replace them with "git show -s --encoding".
"git-rebase" without --merge is "git format-patch" piped to "git
am" in essence, and has been taken care of before this commit.

This checks combinations of i18n.commitencoding (declares what
encoding you are feeding commit-tree to make commits) and
i18n.logoutputencoding (instructs what encoding to emit the
commit message out to log output, including e-mail format) to
make sure the "format-patch | am" pipe used in git-rebase works
correctly.
I suspect "git cherry-pick" and "git rebase --merge" may fail
similar tests. We'll see.

Some of the recent changes and shortcuts to the tests broke
things for people using older versions of svn:
t9104-git-svn-follow-parent.sh:
v1.2.3 (from SuSE 10.0 as reported by riddochc on #git
(thanks!)) required an extra 'svn up'. I was also able to
reproduce this with v1.1.4 (Debian Sarge).
lib-git-svn.sh:
SVN::Repos bindings in versions up to and including 1.1.4
(Sarge again) do not pass fs-config options to the underlying
library. BerkeleyDB repositories also seem completely broken
on all my Sarge machines; so not using FSFS does not seem to
be an option for most people.

This updates five commands (merge, pull, rebase, revert and cherry-pick)
so that they can be started from a subdirectory.
This may not actually be what we want to do. These commands are
inherently whole-tree operations, and an inexperienced user may
mistakenly expect a "git pull" from a subdirectory would merge
only the subdirectory the command started from.

This converts scripts that do "cd $(rev-parse --show-cdup)" by
hand to use cd_to_toplevel.
I think git-fetch does not have to go to the toplevel, but that
should be dealt with in a separate patch.

Steven Grimm noticed that git-repack's verbosity is inconsistent
because pack-objects is chatty and prune-packed is not. This
makes the latter a bit more chatty and gives -q option to
squelch it.

While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git

Andy Parkins noticed that the error message some "whole tree"
oriented commands emit is stated misleadingly when they refused
to run from a subdirectory.
We could probably allow some of them to work from a subdirectory
but that is a semantic change that could have unintended side
effects, so let's start at first by rewording the error message
to be easier to read without doing anything else to be safe.

The code previously checked it's own name and called 'die' upon
an error. However 'die' was not yet defined because git-sh-setup

The "read_or_die()" function would silently NOT die for a partial read,
and since it was of type "void" it obviously couldn't even return the
partial number of bytes read.
IOW, it was totally broken. This hopefully fixes it up.

With the new-and-improved write_in_full() semantics, where a partial write
simply always returns a real error (and always sets 'errno' when that
happens, including for the disk full case), a lot of the callers of
write_in_full() were just unnecessarily complex.
In particular, there's no reason to ever check for a zero length or
return: if the length was zero, we'll return zero, otherwise, if a disk
full resulted in the actual write() system call returning zero the
write_in_full() logic would have correctly turned that into a negative
return value, with 'errno' set to ENOSPC.
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0"
now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones.
