- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
behaviour. It commits the current index.
We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
subdirectory.
- "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
is equivalent to:
git update-index --remove paths...
git commit
- "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an
incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
have complained that it is confusing to them. It
1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
-i flag.
2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.
4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
temporary index.
5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
tree to the real index.
6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
new commit.
- "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
commit.
- In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following
sequence:
$ git diff
$ git commit -a
$ git diff
would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
making the commit log message empty.
This commit also introduces much requested --author option.
$ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>'

In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches,
the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over
and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged
to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream).
This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this
process by recording the conflicted automerge results and
corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge,
and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying
the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from
pull-fetch-param.txt. This simplifies maintenance somewhat, but
there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the
other.
So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into
pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk
of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from
urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without
making us duplicate too much.

Earlier, we made --base-path to automatically forbid
user-relative paths, which was probably a mistake. This
introduces --user-path (or --user-path=path) option to control
the use of user-relative paths independently. The latter form
of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each
user's home directory, similar to "public_html" some webservers
supports.
If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the
form git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/...,
where HOME is USER's home directory.

A misguided attempt to show logs at all time was inserted only to

Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt. As usual, in my attempt
to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or
I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed.
I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the
monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of
thing.
I moved the material describing shared repository management from
core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate,
and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy.
I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying
to make it more concise.
I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate
alternatives) alone for now.

Without this, there is no way to specify a remote executable when

[jc: I have a mild suspicion that this is a broken environment (aka
sysadmin disservice). It may be legal to configure your sshd to
spawn named program without involving shell at all, and if your
sysadmin does so and you have your git programs under your home
directory, you would need something like this, but then I suspect
you would need such workaround everywhere, not just git. But we
have these options we can use to work around the issue, so there
is no strong reason not to reject this patch, either. ]

It is a common mistake to leave an unsed `origin` branch behind
if a shared public repository was created by first cloning from
somewhere else. Subsequent `git push` into it with the default
"push all the matching ref" would push the `origin` branch from
the developer repository uselessly.

The current Documentation/tutorial.txt concentrates on the lower-level
git interfaces. So it's useful to people developing alternative
porcelains, to advanced users, etc., but not so much to beginning users.
I think it makes sense for the main tutorial to address those
beginnning users, so with this patch I'm proposing that we move
Documentation/tutorial.txt to Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and
replace it by a new tutorial.

We forgot to make sure that there is no more than one pattern
parameter. Also when looking for files in a directory called
'--others', it passed that path limiter without preceding the
end-of-options marker '--' to underlying git-ls-files, which
misunderstood it as one of its options instead.
$ git grep --others -e Meta/Make Meta
$ git grep -o -e Meta/Make Meta
$ git grep -o Meta/Make Meta
look for a string "Meta/Make" from untracked files in Meta/
directory.
$ git grep Meta/Make --others
looks for the same string from tracked files in ./--others
directory.
On the other hand,
$ git grep -e Meta/Make --others
does not have a freestanding pattern, so everybody is parameter
and there is no path specifier. It looks for the string in all
the untracked files without any path limiter.

This patch adds the option to specify an author name/email conversion
file in the format
exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se>
spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org>
which will translate the ugly cvs authornames to the more informative
git style.
The info is saved in $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors, so that subsequent
incremental imports will use the same author-info even if no -A
option is specified. If an -A option *is* specified, the info in
$GIT_DIR/cvs-authors is appended/updated appropriately.

* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
'-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
read-tree prevents branch switching.
* Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
show the local modifications.
* Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
more natural.
