Retrieve and list the remote refs from git, http, and rsync
repositories, and optionally stores the retrieved refs in the
local repository under the same name.
To access a git URL, git-peek-remote command is used. An http
URL needs to have an up-to-date info/refs file for discovery,
which will be introduced by a later update-server-info patch.

Teach people to use "git tag <tag-name>" instead of writing the current
HEAD by hand into the .git/refs/tags/<tag-name> file. Most people
probably don't really want to know about how git does things internally.
A simple tag is just a direct pointer to the object, while a signed tag
is a pointer to a "tag object" that has a pgp signature and points to
the object we tagged.
Use "git tag -s tagname" to create a signed tag.
The "-f" flag overwrites any previous tag of that name (useful if you
update a tag to point to a newer version for things like "latest" etc
tags that aren't necessarily static versions).
Some people split their long E-mail address over two lines
using the RFC2822 header "folding". We can lose authorship
information this way, so make a minimum effort to deal with it,
instead of special casing only the "Subject:" field.
We could teach mailsplit to unfold the folded header, but
teaching mailinfo about folding would make more sense; a single
message can be fed to mailinfo without going through mailsplit.

The deb package building needs these two new files to work correctly.
debian/compat sets the rules under which the debhelper scripts (dh_*)
operate.
debian/git-core.install tells dh_install what files to install in each
package that is generated. There is only one package being generated,
so all files go into it.
(I missed these in the last patch, mostly because I needed to do this to
find stuff I had missed:

The Deb packages were missing a dependency on "build install" from the
binary target - this fixes that, and cleans up some inconsistencies
elsewhere in the rulesets.
Traditionally, Debian packaging uses a file called "build-stamp" (or
"install-stamp", etc) in the main source tree. The initial deb package
support for Git tried to move this "build-stamp" file into the debian/
directory, but some instances were missed. That problem, however, was
incidental - the real fix is the missing dependency mentioned above.

We'll mark all the trees at the edges (as deep as we had to go to
realize that we have all the commits needed) as uninteresting.
Otherwise we'll occasionally list a lot of objects that were actually
available at the edge in a commit that we just never ended up parsing
because we could determine early that we had all relevant commits.
NOTE! The object listing is still just a _heuristic_. It's guaranteed
to list a superset of the actual new objects, but there might be the
occasional old object in the list, just because the commit that
referenced it was much further back in the history.
For example, let's say that a recent commit is a revert of part of the
tree to much older state: since we didn't walk _that_ far back in the
commit history tree to list the commits necessary, git-rev-tree will
never have marked the old objects uninteresting, and we'll end up
listing them as "new".
That's ok.
Update the recommended workflow for individual developers.
While they are tracking the origin, refs/heads/origin is updated
by "git fetch", so there is no need to manually copy FETCH_HEAD

The git-rev-parse command uses LF to separate each argument it
parses, so its users at least need to set IFS to LF to be able
to handle filenames with embedded SPs and TABs. Some commands,
however, can take and do expect arguments with embedded LF,
notably, "-S" (pickaxe) of diff family, so even this workaround
does not work for them.
When --sq flag to git-rev-parse is given, instead of showing one
argument per line, it outputs arguments quoted for consumption
with "eval" by the caller, to remedy this situation.
As an example, this patch converts git-whatchanged to use this
new feature.

- avoid duplicating [PATCH] in the commit message body if the
original commit has it already (happens for commits done from
mails via applymbox).
- check if the commit author is different from the one who is
running the script, and emit an appropriate "From:" and
"Date: " lines to the output.
- with '--date', emit "Date: " line to preserve the original
author date even for the user's own commit.
- teach mailinfo to grok not just "From: " but "Date: ".
The patch e-mail output by format-patch starts with the first
line from the original commit message, prefixed with [PATCH],
and optionally a From: line if you are reformatting a patch
obtained from somebody else, a Date: line from the original
commit if (1) --date is specified or (2) for somebody else's
patch, and the rest of the commit message body.
Expected use of this is to move the title line from the commit
to Subject: when sending it via an e-mail, and leave the From:
and the Date: lines as the first lines of your message.
The mailinfo command has been changed to read Date: (in addition
to From: it already understands) and do sensible things when
running applymbox.

This should make sure that if you have multiple people pushing to the
same tree, they cannot overwrite each others work, but have to merge
before being able to update the common reference tree.
We display the files where the child differs from the first parent
first in black in the file list window, followed by the second parent
in blue, and so on using different colors for each parent (provided
you don't have more than 6 parents; if you do we cycle around).
We now kick off a single git-diff-tree -r --stdin and feed it all
the commit pairs we want to know about, instead of doing a separate
git-diff-tree invocation for each.
We were trying to fetch using the merge-head name rather than the
merge-head SHA1 that we just got.
Now, http:// is broken anyway right now for packing, but this should
make it work for nonpacked repositories again.
Thanks to Ryan Anderson for setting me up to do this. I'd have used his
work, but I wanted to clean up the old git-tools repository before
merging it: it had old-style file modes etc that needed a round of
git-convert-cache to fix up.
Rename into a "tools" subdirectory, and change name of "dotest" to "applymbox".
Remove stripspace (which was already copied into git) and cvs2git (which
was likewise already copied into git, and then replaced by a much better
perl version).
All of this was brought on by Ryan Anderson shaming me into it. Thanks.
I guess.
git-fsck-cache complains about some of the odder ones, and is quiet
about the old (S_IFREG | 664) case, but that's wrong too.
Converting the kernel tree is too painful right now, but at least we
know how to do it if we ever want to.

Since pull and fetch are done often against the same remote
repository repeatedly, keeping the URL to pull from along with
the name of the head to use in $GIT_DIR/branches/$name makes a
lot of sense. Adopt that convention from Cogito, and try to be
compatible when possible; storing a partial URL and completing
it with a trailing path may not be understood by Cogito.
While we are at it, fix pulling a tag. Earlier, we updated only
refs/tags/$tag without updating FETCH_HEAD, and called

"Files" matches the find string against each of the files modified
by each commit, and can do exact, case-ignoring or regexp matching.
"Pickaxe" uses git-diff-tree -S'string' and can only do exact
matching. I called it "pickaxe" rather than "find within patch"
since it only finds commits where the string is present in the child
but not the parents or vice versa, and "pickaxe" is what the author
of that feature calls it.
