If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting
(e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual
strategy was to install a signal handler that did something
like this:
do_cleanup(); /* actual work */
signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */
raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */
For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want
to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem.
The most recently installed handler will run, but when it
removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first
handler.
This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling
a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler,
and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in
the stack.

The top-level Makefile now creates a GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file
which stores any options selected by the make process that
may be of use to further parts of the build process.
Specifically, we store the SHELL_PATH so that it can be used
by tests to construct shell scripts on the fly.
The format of the GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file is Bourne shell,
and it is sourced by test-lib.sh; all tests can rely on just
having $SHELL_PATH correctly set in the environment.
The GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file is written every time the
toplevel 'make' is invoked. Since the only users right now
are the test scripts, there's no drawback to updating its
timestamp. If something build-related depends on this, we
can do a trick similar to the one used by GIT-CFLAGS.

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that

For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.
Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing

If we are building on Darwin (sometimes known as Mac OS X) and we
find the Mac OS X Tk.framework in the expected location we build
a proper Mac OS X application bundle with icons and info list. The
git-gui and git-citool commands are modified to be very short shell
scripts that just execute the application bundle, starting Tk with
our own info list and icon set.
Although the Makefile change here is rather large it makes for a
much more pleasant user experience on Mac OS X as git-gui now has
its own icon on the dock, in the standard tk_messageBox dialogs,
and the application name now says "Git Gui" instead of "Wish" in
locations such as the menu bar and the alt-tab window.

This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.
Example .gitmodules layout:
[module "git"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".
Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.
Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.

The trouble is that git-applymbox existence creates confusing UI. I'm a bit

I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script
and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code.
Since most of the program is organized into different units of
functionality and not all users will need all units immediately
on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into
multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us.
This should help not only to better organize the source, but
it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl
parser does not need to read as much script before it can show
the UI. In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half
of git-gui now.
Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime
location. This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib
and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of
reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be
$(gitexecdir)/../share.
We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile,
as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory. I'm
hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building
from source.
I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a
huge migration of code from one file to many smaller files. All of
the new changes are to setup the library path and install the library
files.

Like core-Git we now track the values that we embed into our shell
script wrapper, and we "recompile" that wrapper if they are changed.
This concept was lifted from git.git's Makefile, where a similar
thing was done by Eygene Ryabinkin. Too bad it wasn't just done
here in git-gui from the beginning, as the git.git Makefile support
for GIT-GUI-VARS was really just because git-gui doesn't do it on

This adds the basic infrastructure to assign attributes to
paths, in a way similar to what the exclusion mechanism does
based on $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and .gitignore files.
An attribute is just a simple string that does not contain any
whitespace. They can be specified in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes
file, and .gitattributes file in each directory.
Each line in these files defines a pattern matching rule.
Similar to the exclusion mechanism, a later match overrides an
earlier match in the same file, and entries from .gitattributes
file in the same directory takes precedence over the ones from
parent directories. Lines in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes file are
used as the lowest precedence default rules.
A line is either a comment (an empty line, or a line that begins
with a '#'), or a rule, which is a whitespace separated list of
tokens. The first token on the line is a shell glob pattern.
The rest are names of attributes, each of which can optionally
be prefixed with '!'. Such a line means "if a path matches this
glob, this attribute is set (or unset -- if the attribute name
is prefixed with '!'). For glob matching, the same "if the
pattern does not have a slash in it, the basename of the path is
matched with fnmatch(3) against the pattern, otherwise, the path
is matched with the pattern with FNM_PATHNAME" rule as the
exclusion mechanism is used.
This does not define what an attribute means. Tying an
attribute to various effects it has on git operation for paths
that have it will be specified separately.

This merge strategy largely piggy-backs on git-merge-recursive.
When merging trees A and B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A,
B is first adjusted to match the tree structure of A, instead of
reading the trees at the same level. This adjustment is also
done to the common ancestor tree.
If you are pulling updates from git-gui repository into git.git
repository, the root level of the former corresponds to git-gui/
subdirectory of the latter. The tree object of git-gui's toplevel
is wrapped in a fake tree object, whose sole entry has name 'git-gui'
and records object name of the true tree, before being used by
the 3-way merge code.
If you are merging the other way, only the git-gui/ subtree of
git.git is extracted and merged into git-gui's toplevel.
The detection of corresponding subtree is done by comparing the
pathnames and types in the toplevel of the tree.
Heuristics galore! That's the git way ;-).

Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.
git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.
The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.
It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.
