As discussed on the list, split the foreign SCM interoperability
packages and documentation from the git-core binary package.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Done in 0.99.9
==============
Ports
~~~~~
* Cygwin port [HPA].
* OpenBSD build [Merlyn and others].
Fixes
~~~~~
* clone request over git native protocol from a repository with
too many refs did not work; this has been fixed.
* git-daemon got safer for kernel.org use [HPA].
* Extended SHA1 parser was not enforcing uniqueness for
abbreviated SHA1; this has been fixed.
* http transport does not barf on funny characters in URL.
* The ref naming restrictions have been formalized and the
coreish refuses to create funny refs; we still need to audit
importers. See git-check-ref-format(1).
New Features and Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* .git/config file as a per-repository configuration mechanism,
and some commands understand it [Linus]. See
git(7).
* The core.filemode configuration item can be used to make us a
bit more FAT friendly. See git(7).
* The extended SHA1 notation acquired Peel-the-onion operator
^{type} and ^{}. See git-rev-parse(1).
* SVN importer [Matthias]. See git-svnimport(1).
* .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2} directories are created on demand,
and removed when becomes empty after prune-packed [Linus].
* Filenames output from various commands without -z option are
quoted when they embed funny characters (TAB and LF) using
C-style quoting within double-quotes, to match the proposed
GNU diff/patch notation [me, but many people contributed in
the discussion].
* git-mv is expected to be a better replacement for git-rename.
While the latter has two parameter restriction, it acts more
like the regular 'mv' that can move multiple things to one
destinatino directory [Josef Weidendorfer].
* git-checkout can take filenames to revert the changes to
them. See git-checkout(1)
* The new program git-am is a replacement for git-applymbox that
has saner command line options and a bit easier to use when a
patch does not apply cleanly.
* git-ls-remote can show unwrapped onions using ^{} notation, to
help Cogito to track tags.
* git-merge-recursive backend can merge unrelated projects.
* git-clone over native transport leaves the result packed.
* git-http-fetch issues multiple requests in parallel when
underlying cURL library supports it [Nick and Daniel].
* git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack try harder to figure out
better common commits [Johannes].
* git-read-tree -u removes a directory when it makes it empty.
* git-diff-* records abbreviated SHA1 names of original and
resulting blob; this sometimes helps to apply otherwise an
unapplicable patch by falling back to 3-way merge.
* git-format-patch now takes series of from..to rev ranges and
with '-m --stdout', writes them out to the standard output.
This can be piped to 'git-am' to implement cheaper
cherry-picking.
* git-tag takes '-u' to specify the tag signer identity [Linus].
* git-rev-list can take optional pathspecs to skip commits that
do not touch them (--dense) [Linus].
* Comes with new and improved gitk [Paulus and Linus].

Yes I said 0.99.8e was the last maintenance release for 0.99.8, but it
turns out that there was another backport necessary after git-daemon
was unleashed on kernel.org servers.
Contains the following since 0.99.8e:
H. Peter Anvin:
revised^2: git-daemon extra paranoia, and path DWIM
Johannes Schindelin:
Fix cvsimport warning when called without --no-cvs-direct
Junio C Hamano:
Do not ask for objects known to be complete.
Linus Torvalds:
git-fetch-pack: avoid unnecessary zero packing
Optimize common case of git-rev-list

Linus Torvalds:
make checkout-index '-a' flag saner.
Junio C Hamano:
whatchanged: document -m option from git-diff-tree.
Functions to quote and unquote pathnames in C-style.
Update git-apply to use C-style quoting for funny pathnames.
Do not quote SP.
git-checkout-index: documentation updates.

Contains the following changes since v0.99.8c.
Johannes Schindelin:
Teach git-status about spaces in file names also on MacOSX
t5400-send-pack relies on a working cpio
Jonas Fonseca:
git.sh: quote all paths
Junio C Hamano:
Also force LC_ALL in test scripts.
OpenBSD needs the strcasestr replacement.
git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names.
Refuse to create funny refs in clone-pack, git-fetch and receive-pack.
Ignore funny refname sent from remote
Introduce notation "ref^{type}".
Martin Langhoff:
cvsimport: don't pass --cvs-direct if user options contradict us
Ralf Baechle:
rsh.c: typo fix
Note that "funny ref" bits are not strictly fixes but rather
backport from the "master" branch. They will prevent refs and
heads with funny names from being created. In addition, what is
in the master branch will start feeding the clients unwrapped
tag information to help Martin's findtags and possibly later
Cogito. These backported "funny ref" changes are to prevent
clients on the "maint" branch from getting confused when talking
with newer git-upload-pack and when reading from info/refs file
prepared with newer git-update-server-info.

- subprocess.py licensing status clarification.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

You can define WITH_SEND_EMAIL to include the send-email command as
part of the installation. Since Debian, unlike RPM/Fedora, has the
two necessary Perl modules available as part of the mainline
distribution, there is no reason for us to shy away from shipping
send-email.

- Split gitk off to its own package;
it needs tk installed, but nothing else does.
- Refer to GPL properly, don't install COPYING.
- Fix maintainer.
- Use dh_movefiles instead of dh_install;
we don't want to list everything *except* gitk.

This is my first attempt to adjust Debian and RPM to pass
prefix, to prepare the 0.99.4 release.
It updates debian/rules and git-core.spec.in to properly pass
prefix when building binary packages. It also updates
debian/changelog to make the resulting binary package name
0.99.4; this is not needed on the RPM side (it takes the version
number from the main Makefile).

This patch includes two fixes to the git-core Debian package:
* Conflict with the GNU Interactive Tools package, which _also_
wants to install /usr/bin/git.
* Compile against the unencumbered Mozilla SHA1 code, instead of
the iffy OpenSSL code, as much as possible. This makes it easier to get
the package included for distribution with Debian.
This has been based upon the original patch by Sebastian Kuzminsky
<seb@highlab.com>, but has been fixed up based upon feedback.

The Deb packages were missing a dependency on "build install" from the
binary target - this fixes that, and cleans up some inconsistencies
elsewhere in the rulesets.
Traditionally, Debian packaging uses a file called "build-stamp" (or
"install-stamp", etc) in the main source tree. The initial deb package
support for Git tried to move this "build-stamp" file into the debian/
directory, but some instances were missed. That problem, however, was
incidental - the real fix is the missing dependency mentioned above.
