We codify the following different heads (in addition to the main "HEAD",
which points to the current branch, of course):
- FETCH_HEAD
Populated by "git fetch"
- ORIG_HEAD
The old HEAD before a "git pull/resolve" (successful or not)
- LAST_MERGE
The HEAD we're currently merging in "git pull/resolve"
- MERGE_HEAD
The previous head of a unresolved "git pull", which gets committed by
a "git commit" after manually resolving the result
We used to have "MERGE_HEAD" be populated directly by the fetch, and we
removed ORIG_HEAD and LAST_MERGE too aggressively.
Here is a patch that fixes several gcc4 warnings about different signedness,
all between char and unsigned char. I tried to keep the patch minimal
so resertod to casts in three places.

It is careful by default and refuses to overwrite old info, but if you
want to force everything to be re-read, use the "-f" flag.
Some day I'll make it take individual filenames too. Right now
it's all-or-nothing.
Current version would spin forever and exhaust memory while attempting
to sort all files from all revisions at once, until it dies before even
doing any real work. This is especially noticeable when used on a big
repository like the imported bkcvs repo for the Linux kernel.
This patch allows for batching the sort to put a bound on needed
resources and making progress early, as well as including some small
cleanups.

It does a "git-update-cache" on the arguments, meaning that you can
commit files without doing a separate "git-update-cache". This commit
was done with
git commit git-commit-script
for example.
You can say "HEAD.p" for the "parent of HEAD". It nests, so
HEAD.p2.p
means parent of second parent of HEAD (which obviously depends
on HEAD being a merge).
This happens in the linux-2.6 tree. We draw the graph line
double-thick to show that this happened.
Also fix a bug where we got a bogus "No commit information available"
line at the end on simple repositories like this one.
Make git-resolve-script only write MERGE_HEAD if a merge actually
occurred. All merge failures leave ORIG_HEAD and LAST_MERGE
behind (instead of ORIG_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).
Use git-rev-parse to expand arguments (and check for bad ones).

This patch fixes a problem reported by Paul Mackerras regarding the interaction
of the --merge-order and --max-age switches of git-rev-list.
This patch applies to the current Linus HEAD. A cleaner fix for the same problem
in my current HEAD will follow later.
With this change, --merge-order produces the same result as no --merge-order
on the linux-2.6 git repository, to wit:
$> git-rev-list --max-age=1116330140 bcfff0b471a60df350338bcd727fc9b8a6aa54b2 | wc -l
655
$> git-rev-list --merge-order --max-age=1116330140 bcfff0b471a60df350338bcd727fc9b8a6aa54b2 | wc -l

If a is reachable from b, then git-rev-list --merge-order b a would
produce a duplicate output of b.
This causes a problem for an upcoming version of gitk since it
breaks the --merge-order ordering invariant.
This patch fixes the problem for the --merge-order switch. A subsequent

1. --merge-order doesn't deal properly with a specified head that has no parent
* FAIL 11: head has no parent
2. --merge-order doesn't deal properly with arguments of the form
head ^head
* FAIL 30: head ^head --merge-order git-rev-list --merge-order
--show-breaks a3 ^a3
3. if one of the specified heads is reachable from the other, the
head gets printed twice and this causes problems for upcoming
versions of gitk. This is true for both --merge-order and non
--merge-order style of invocations.
* FAIL 24: one specified head reachable from another a4, c3, --merge-order

Patch for a completely rewritten file detected by the -B flag
was shown as a pair of creation followed by deletion in earlier
versions. This was an misguided attempt to make reviewing such
a complete rewrite easier, and unnecessarily ended up confusing
git-apply. Instead, show the entire contents of old version
prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new
version prefixed with '+'. This gives the same easy-to-review
for human consumer while keeping it a single, regular
modification patch for machine consumption, something that even
GNU patch can grok.

Like diff-tree, this patch makes -C option for diff-* brothers
to use only pre-image of modified files as rename/copy detection
by default. Give --find-copies-harder to use unmodified files
to find copies from as well.
This also fixes "diff-files -C" problem earlier noticed by
Linus. It was feeding the null sha1 even when the file in the
work tree was known to match what is in the index file. This
resulted in diff-files showing everything in the project.

But warn about them. If somebody really ends up later wanting to
explicitly add a note that something has the same parent twice (who
knows, there are strange people around), we can add a flag to say that
it's expected and ok.
This was brought on by a commit in the kernel tree, where a repeated
merge caused a duplicate parent.
Parent duplicates aren't "wrong" per se, they're just in practice not
something you are ever interested in.
This is (imho) more readable, and is also a lot faster. The expense of
looking up sub-directory beginnings was killing us on things like
"git-diff-cache", even though that one didn't even care at all about the
file vs directory conflicts.
We really only care when somebody tries to add a conflicting name to
stage 0.
We should go through the conflict rules more carefully some day.

Otherwise the "git log" information doesn't tell enough to make sense of
a merge.
I'll need to add some parent information for regular entries too, I
think, but the merge is more important.
This is useful for doing binary searching for problems. You start with
a known good and known bad point, and you then test the "halfway" point
in between:
git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good
and you test that. If that one tests good, you now still have a known
bad case, but two known good points, and you can bisect again:
git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good1 ^good2
and test that point. If that point is bad, you now use that as your
known-bad starting point:
git-rev-list --bisect newbad ^good1 ^good2
and basically at every iteration you shrink your list of commits by
half: you're binary searching for the point where the troubles started,
even though there isn't a nice linear ordering.
The "C" in "-C" may stand for "Cool", but it's also pretty slow, since
right now it leaves all unmodified files to be tested even if there are
no new files at all. That just ends up being unacceptably slow for big
projects, especially if it's not all in the cache.
Jens was the second person who hadn't heard of the "merge" program, and
didn't have it installed. So document as many dependency and install
issues as I can think of.
