This sounds nonsensical, but it's useful to make sure that the result is
a commit.
For example, "git-rev-parse v2.6.12" will return the _tag_ object for
v2.6.12, but "git-rev-parse v2.6.12^0" will return the _commit_ object
associated with that tag (and v2.6.12^1 will return the first parent).
Also, since the "parent" code will actually parse the commit, this,
together with the "--verify" flag, will verify not only that the result
is a single SHA1, but will also have verified that it's a proper commit
that we can see.
Cut-and-paste dup noticed by Junio. It's not even harmless, since a
match also causes that match to be invalidated, so this made it
impossible to update an existing branch by name.
I'd only tested the case of "ref doesn't exist at all on the other end",
which worked fine.

This reverses the order of object lookup, to check pack index first and
then go to the filesystem to find .git/objects/??/ hierarchy.
When most of the objects are packed, this saves quite many stat() calls
and negative dcache entries; while the price this approach has to pay is
negligible, even when most of the objects are outside pack, because
checking pack index file is quite cheap.

When we allow a tag object in place of a commit object, we only
dereferenced the given tag once, which causes a tag that points at a tag
that points at a commit to be rejected. Instead, dereference tag
repeatedly until we get a non-tag.
This patch makes change to two functions:
- commit.c::lookup_commit_reference() is used by merge-base,
rev-tree and rev-parse to convert user supplied SHA1 to that of
a commit.
- rev-list uses its own get_commit_reference() to do the same.
Dereferencing tags this way helps both of these uses.

The location alt_odb[j].name[0..] is filled with ??/?{38} to form a sha1
filename to try, but I was too lazy to allocate a copy, so while
fsck_object_dir() is running for the directory, the filenames ??/?{38}
are filled after NUL (usually and always the location should have '/'),
making them "not found".
This should fix it.

We used to print the index of the object we unpacked, not how many we
had unpacked. Which caused slightly confusing progress reports like
100% (2/3) done
rather than the more obvious "3/3" for 100% ;)

This ends up being very calming for big "git clone"s, since otherwise
you just get very frustrated with a long silence, wondering whether it's
working at all.
Use "-q" to quiet it down.
Now if we could just do the same for the initial "figure out what to
pack" phase, which can also be quite slow if the other end is busy (or
not packed and not in cache)...
If it is fed a commit with more than one leading blank lines,
the sed scripts git-format-patch-script used looped forever.
Using git-stripspace upfront makes the sed script somewhat
simpler to work around this problem.

$ git-format-patch-script HEAD^^^^

Add notes on branches, merging, tagging, and update some of the usage to
the friendlier "git cmd" syntax.
It's still ridiculously lacking, but perhaps it's a _bit_ more useful.
Instead of having to cut-and-paste the result, write it to the tag
directory directly. Also, start an editor for the tag message, rather
than just reading it from stdin.
It used to do "Merge $3" as the message, but that ends up being
inconvenient, and much more easily done inside git-pull-script instead.
This makes the third argument to "git resolve" much easier to explain.
Change git-update-cache --refresh behaviour to use sha1's rather than
comparing byte by byte.

This silently adds the ".git" directory component if needed, so you
don't need to state it explicitly for the source. Also, it turns the
source into an absolute pathname when local, so that you can use
relative pathnames without losing sight of the source when we cd into
the destination.
The protocol always supported it, but send-pack didn't actually know how
to tell the other side about a new branch/tag.
NOTE! You'll have to name it explicitly on the command line: if you
don't name any branches, git-send-pack will default to the branches that
already exist.
It always uses a git-relative pathname, ie "refs/heads/master" instead of
".git/refs/heads/master" or whatever your GIT_DIR might be.
This way when we send refs back-and-forth between repositories, there's
never any question about GIT_DIR on either side.
This tries to be more lenient to the users and stricter to the
attackers by quoting the input properly for shell safety,
instead of forbidding certain characters from the input.
Things to note:
- We do not quote "prog" parameter (which comes from --exec).
The user should know what he is doing. --exec='echo foo'
will supply the first two parameters to the resulting
command, while --exec="'echo foo'" will give the first
parameter, a single string with a space inside.
- We do not care too much about leaking the sq_quote() output
just before running exec().

It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper

a git archive. So use it something like

I still worry about just quoting things when passing it off to "ssh" or
"sh -c", so I'm being anal. But _, ^ and , are certainly ok and while
both ~ and @ can have speacial meaning to shell/ssh they are benign.
The Makefile in the test suite directory considers any file
matching t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh as the top-level test script
to be executed. Unfortunately this was not documented, and the
common test library, t6000-lib.sh was named to match that
pattern. This caused t6000-lib.sh to be called from Makefile as
the top-level program, causing it to leave t/sed.script file
behind. Rename it to t6000lib.sh to prevent this, and document
the naming convention a bit more clearly.

When we are cloning a repository on a local filesystem, it is
faster to just create a hard linkfarm of .git/object hierarchy
and copy the .git/refs files. By default, the script uses the
clone-pack method, but it can be told with the -l flag to do the
hard linkfarm (falling back on recursive file copy) to replicate
the .git/object hierarchy.

It's cheaper to calculate, and doesn't give different results depending
on the order of the arguments passed in (and is thus more appropriate
for something like gitk that can validly take the unordered "--all" flag
to show all branches).

still see problems.
