Bram Schoenmakers noticed that git-config document was formatted
incorrectly. Depending on the version of AsciiDoc and docbook
toolchain, it is sometimes taken as a numbered example by AsciiDoc,
some other times passed intact to roff format to confuse "man".
Since we refer to the repository metadata directory as $GIT_DIR
elsewhere, work it around by using that symbolic name.

This makes git-svn unconditionally invoke git-log with --first-parent when
it is trying to discover its upstream subversion branch and collecting the
commit ids which should be pushed to it with dcommit. The reason for always
using --first-parent is to make git-svn behave in a predictable way when the
ancestry chain contains merges with other git-svn branches.
Since git-svn now always uses 'git-log --first-parent' there is no longer
any need for the --first-parent option to git-svn, so this is removed.

Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works
when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused
when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create
the branch foo.
This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/
in front of the desired branch name to create a branch.

When git-svn uses git-log to find embedded 'git-svn-id'-lines in commit
messages, it can get confused when local history contains merges with
other git-svn branches. But if --first-parent is supplied to git-log,
working_head_info() will only see 'branch-local' commits and thus the
first commit containing a 'git-svn-id' line should refer to the correct
subversion branch.

Add support for a new attribute, specfile. Files marked as being
specfiles are expanded by git-archive when they are written to an
archive. It has no effect on worktree files. The same placeholders
as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be
used.
The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles. It is
limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though.
E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output,
and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes. That can be fixed
in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of
git-log, too.

Allows username and password to be given using --smtp-user

backed by corresponding defaults in the git configuration file.
This implements Junio's 'mail identity' suggestion in a slightly
more generalised manner. --identity=$identity, backed by
sendemail.identity indicates that the configuration subsection
[sendemail "$identity"] should take priority over the [sendemail]

The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.
This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.
By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.
The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits
(such as temporary commits). It does _not_ undo the changeset
corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision. IOW
no tree object is changed by this.
If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all
intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can
now do this with
git filter-branch --commit-filter '
if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null;
then
skip_commit "$@";
else
git commit-tree "$@";

We used to trigger the special case "things not in origin"
semantics only when one and only one positive ref is given, and
no number (e.g. "git format-patch -4 origin") was specified, and
used the general revision range semantics for everything else.
This narrows the special case a bit more, by making:
git format-patch --root this_version
to show everything that leads to the named commit.
More importantly, document the two different semantics better.
The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on
without being clearly documented.

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).
