When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string.
But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just
copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form
is no longer supported.
This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version.
For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh
generates a dash-less usage string now.

"git-branch --merged" is a handy way to list all the branches that have
already been merged to the current branch, but it did not allow checking
against anything but the current branch. Having to switch branches only
to list the branches that are merged with another branch made the feature
practically useless.
This updates the option parser so that "git branch --merged next" is
accepted when you are on 'master' branch.

We used to require the name of the commit to limit the branches shown to
the --contains option, but more recent --merged/--no-meregd defaults to
HEAD (and they do not allow arbitrary commit, which is a separate issue).
This teaches --contains to default to HEAD when no parameter is given.

These options filter the output from git branch to only include branches
whose tip is either merged or not merged into HEAD.
The use-case for these options is when working with integration of branches
from many remotes: `git branch --no-merged -a` will show a nice list of merge
candidates while `git branch --merged -a` will show the progress of your
integration work.
Also, a plain `git branch --merged` is a quick way to find local branches
which you might want to delete.

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.
The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.

This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from
the configuration file.
git config --get-colorbool color.diff
inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if
color is to be used. It exits with status 1 otherwise.
If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:
git config --get-colorbool color.diff true
When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output
if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or
"true"), and "false" otherwise.

This teaches git-branch to limit its listing to branches that
are descendants to the named commit.
When you are using many topic branches, you often would want to
see which branch already includes a commit, so that you know
which can and cannot be rewound without disrupting other people.
One thing that sometimes happens to me is:
* Somebody sends a patch that is a good maint material. I
apply it to 'maint':
$ git checkout maint
$ git am -3 -s obvious-fix.patch
* Then somebody else sends another patch that is possibly a
good maint material, but I'd want to cook it in 'next' to be
extra sure. I fork a topic from 'maint' and apply the patch:
$ git checkout -b xx/maint-fix-foo
$ git am -3 -s ,xx-maint-fix-foo.patch
* A minor typo is found in the "obvious-fix.patch".
The above happens without pushing the results out, so I can
freely recover from it by amending 'maint', as long as I do not
forget to rebase the topics that were forked previously.
With this patch, I can do this to find out which topic
branches already contain the faulty commit:
$ git branch --contains=maint^
xx/maint-fix-foo
so I can rebase the xx/maint-fix-foo branch before merging it
to 'next'.

Also remove the "len" parameter, as:

(2) we check for final NUL no matter what, so it doesn't help for speed.

a lot less local variables, this makes the code way more readable, and
easier to extend if needed.

This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a

little in the process. This also enables us to fix two cases:
The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started
with "refs/remotes" is wrong. You are absolutely allowed to use a
separate layout for your tracking branches. The correct fix, of course,
is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching
remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon.
Another corner case was not handled properly. If two remotes write to
the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started
cluttering the config for local branches. That is not the original
intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for
convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics
got lost somewhere.
If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch
branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all". Otherwise, it is interpreted
as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching
off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

Traditionally we had 16kB limit when formatting log messages for
output, because it was easier to arrange for the caller to have
a reasonably big buffer and pass it down without ever worrying
about reallocating.
This changes the calling convention of pretty_print_commit() to
lift this limit. Instead of the buffer and remaining length, it
now takes a pointer to the pointer that points at the allocated
buffer, and another pointer to the location that stores the
allocated length, and reallocates the buffer as necessary.
To support the user format, the error return of interpolate()
needed to be changed. It used to return a bool telling "Ok the
result fits", or "Sorry, I had to truncate it". Now it returns
0 on success, and returns the size of the buffer it wants in
order to fit the whole result.

This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like
[remote "local"]
url = .
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.
To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.
The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:
git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic
This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.
This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.
If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the
string is not writable at runtime. Likewise we should always be
treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values.
Most of these are very straightforward. The only exception is the
(unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached
head case. Since this is a user-level interactive type program
and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel
that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of

may have the configuration variable core.logallrefupdates set,

This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of
repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch"
starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go
back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for
example.
This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to
allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous
unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout
master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want
to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find
that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches.
There is no such safety valve implemented right now.
On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc
work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because
the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not
having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after
accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always
create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful
work done while the HEAD was detached.
