The immediate motivation for writing this section was to explain the
various places ignore patterns could be used. However, I still think
.gitignore is the case most people will want to learn about first. It
also makes it a bit more concrete to introduce ignore patterns in the
context of .gitignore first. And the existance of gitignore(5) relieves
the pressure to explain it all here.
So, stick to the .gitignore example, with only a brief mention of the
others, explain the syntax only by example, and leave the rest to
gitignore(5).

After git-write-tree finishes computing the tree, it updates the
index so that later operations can take advantage of fully
populated cache tree.
However, anybody writing the index file has to mark the entries
that are racily clean. For each entry whose cached lstat(3)
data in the index exactly matches what is obtained from the
filesystem, if the timestamp on the index file was the same or
older than the modification timestamp of the file, the blob
contents and the work tree file, after convert_to_git(), need to
be compared, and if they are different, its index entry needs to
be marked not to match the lstat(3) data from the filesystem.
In order for this to work, convert_to_git() needs to work
correctly, which in turn means you need to read the config file
to get the settings of core.crlf and friends.

When squashing, rebase -i did not prevent fast forwards. This could
happen when picking some other commit than the first one, and then
squashing the first commit. So do not allow fast forwards when

MakeMaker supports three installation modes: perl, site, and vendor. The first
and third install manpages to $PREFIX/share/man, only site installs to
$PREFIX/man. For consistency with the rest of git, which does not make the
distinction and writes all manpages to $PREFIX/share/man, this change makes
sure that perl does too, even when it's installed in site mode.

If core.bare is set to true in the config file of a repository that
the user is trying to create a working directory from we should
abort and suggest to the user that they remove the option first.
If we leave the core.bare=true setting in the config file then
working tree operations will get confused when they attempt to
execute in the new workdir, as it shares its config file with the
bare repository. The working tree operations will assume that the
workdir is bare and abort, which is not what the user wants.
If we changed core.bare to be false then working tree operations
will function in the workdir but other operations may fail in the
bare repository, as it claims to not be bare.
If we remove core.bare from the config then Git can fallback on
the legacy guessing behavior. This allows operations in the bare
repository to work as though it were bare, while operations in the
workdirs to act as though they are not bare.

My day-job workflow involves using multiple workdirs attached to a
bunch of bare repositories. Such repositories are stored inside of
a directory called "foo.git", which means `git rev-parse --git-dir`
will return "." and not ".git". Under such conditions new-workdir
was getting confused about where the Git repository it was supplied
is actually located.
If we get "." for the result of --git-dir query it means we should
use the user supplied path as-is, and not attempt to perform any
magic on it, as the path is directly to the repository.

The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely
incompatible with one another. Attempting to use both at the same
time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's
formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog
message and timestamp.
Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with
each other. Rather than offering the user confusing results we are
better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as
the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

when doing a rebase.
So just delete the code that skips the binary diff. At the very least,

When a thin pack wants to send a tree object at "sub/dir", and
the commit that is common between the sender and the receiver
that is used as the base object has a subproject at that path,
we should not try to use the data at "sub/dir" of the base tree
as a tree object. It is not a tree to begin with, and more

By default 'git reflog show' will show the reflog of 'HEAD' and not
the reflog of the current branch. This is most likely due to the
work done a while ago as part of the detached HEAD series to allow
HEAD to have its own reflog independent of each branch's reflog.
Since 'git reflog show' is really just an obscure alias for 'git
log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline' it should behave the same
way and its documentation should match.

When we crash the frontend developer (or end-user) may need to know
roughly around what part of the input stream we had a problem with
and aborted on. Because line numbers aren't very useful in this
sort of application we instead just keep the last 100 commands in
a FIFO queue and print them as part of the crash report.
Currently one problem with this design is a commit that has
more than 100 modified files in it will flood the FIFO and any
context regarding branch/from/committer/mark/comments will be lost.
We really should save only the last few (10?) file changes for the
current commit, ensuring we have some prior higher level commands
in the FIFO when we crash on a file M/D/C/R command.
Another issue with this approach is the FIFO only includes the
commands, it does not include the commit messages. Yet having a
commit message may be useful to help locate the relevant change in
the source material. In practice I don't think this is going to be a
major concern as the frontend can always embed its own source change
set identifier as a comment (which will appear in the crash report)
and the commit message(s) for the most recent commits of any given
branch should be obtainable from the (packed) commit objects.

As fast-import is quite strict about its input and die()'s anytime
something goes wrong it can be difficult for a frontend developer
to troubleshoot why fast-import rejected their input, or to even
determine what input command it rejected.
This change introduces a custom handler for Git's die() routine.
When we receive a die() for any reason (fast-import or a lower level
core Git routine we called) the error is first dumped onto stderr
and then a more extensive crash report file is prepared in GIT_DIR.
Finally we exit the process with status 128, just like the stock
builtin die handler.
An internal flag is set to prevent any further die()'s that may be
invoked during the crash report generator from causing us to enter
into an infinite loop. We shouldn't die() from our crash report
handler, but just in case someone makes a future code change we are
prepared to gaurd against small mistakes turning into huge problems
for the end-user.

The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import
to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can
access them and the objects they refer to. However there was not a
way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint
and it was safe to read those refs.
The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any
message of the frontend's choosing to standard out. The frontend
can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a
pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import.
