The command was removed from the builtin command list and there was no
way to invoke it, but the code was still there.

The categorized list of commands in git(7) and the list of common
commands in "git help" output were maintained separately, which was
insane. This consolidates them to a single command-list.txt file.

This makes it possible to mark commands that are deprecated in the
command list of the primary manual page git(7), and uses it to
mark "git lost-found" and "git tar-tree" as deprecated.

convert-objects was needed to convert from an old-style repository,
which hashed the compressed contents and used a different date format.
Such repositories are presumably no longer common and, if such
conversions are necessary, should be done by writing a frontend for
git-fast-import.
Linus, the original author, is OK with moving it to contrib.

The basic idea was proposed by Steve Hoelzer; in order to make
the list easier to search, we keep the command list in the
script that generates it with "sort -d".

Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a
widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue
is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from
within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure
how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how
that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation.
Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that
the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up
two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer
enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists,
and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their
own documentation system available from within a running git-gui.
But not today.

This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.
Example .gitmodules layout:
[module "git"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".
Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.
Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.

I believe noone uses git-applymbox, and noone definitely should, since it
is supposed to be completely superseded and everything by its younger
cousin git-am. The only known person in the universe to use it was Linus
and he declared some time ago that he will try to use git-am instead in his
famous dotest script.
The trouble is that git-applymbox existence creates confusing UI. I'm a bit
like a recycled newbie to the git porcelain and *I* was confused by
git-applymbox primitiveness until I've realized a while later that I'm of
course using the wrong command.

Every time _any_ documentation page changed, cmds-*.txt files
were regenerated, which caused git.{html,txt} to be remade. Try
not to update cmds-*.txt files if their new contents match the

Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.
git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.
The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.
It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

This adds two new classes (pure-helpers and "Interacting with
Others") to the command list in the main manual page. The
latter class is primarily about foreign SCM interface and is
placed before low-level (plumbing) commands.
Also it promotes a handful commands to mainporcelain category
while demoting some others.

to the end of Documentation/cmd-list.perl, so that re-categorization
