This patch teaches read-tree 3-way merge that, when only "the
other tree" changed a path, and if the index file already has
the same change, we are not in a situation that would clobber
the index and the work tree, and lets the merge succeed; this is
case #14ALT in t1000 test. It does not change the result of the
merge, but prevents it from failing when it does not have to.

This adds #3ALT rule (and #2ALT rule for symmetry) to the
read-tree 3-way merge logic that collapses paths that are added
only in one branch and not in the other internally.
This makes --emu23 to succeed in the last remaining case where
the pure 2-way merge succeeded and earlier one failed. Running
diff between t1001 and t1005 test scripts shows that the only
difference between the two is that --emu23 can leave the states
into separate stages so that the user can use usual 3-way merge
resolution techniques to carry forward the local changes when
pure 2-way merge would have refused to run.

This fixes too strong index requirement 3-way merge enforces in
one case: the same file is added in both branches.
In this case, the original code insisted that if the index file
has that path, it must match our branch and be up-to-date.
However in this particular case, it only has to match it, and
can be dirty. We just need to make sure that we keep the
work-tree copy instead of checking out the merge result.
The resolution of such a path, however, cannot be left to
outside script, because we will not keep the original stage0
entries for unmerged paths when read-tree finishes, and at that
point, the knowledge of "if we resolve it to match the new file
added in both branches, the merge succeeds and the work tree
would not lose information, but we should _not_ update the work
tree from the resulting index file" is lost. For this reason,
the now code needs to resolve this case (#5ALT) internally.
This affects some existing tests in the test suite, but all in
positive ways. In t1000 (3-way test), this #5ALT case now gets
one stage0 entry, instead of an identical stage2 and stage3
entry pair, for such a path, and one test that checked for merge
failure (because the test assumed the "stricter-than-necessary"
behaviour) does not have to fail anymore. In t1005 (emu23
test), two tests that involves a case where the work tree
already had a change introduced in the upstream (aka "merged
head"), the merge succeeds instead of failing.

This new flag causes two-way fast forward to internally use the
three-way merge mechanism. This behaviour is intended to offer
a better fast forward semantics when used in a dirty work tree.
The new test t1005 is parallel to the existing t1001 "pure
2-way" tests, but some parts that are commented out would fail.
These failures are due to three-way merge enforcing too strict
index requirements for cases that could succeed. This problem
will be addressed by later patches.
Without even changing three-way mechanism, the --emu23 two-way
fast forward already gives the user an easier-to-handle merge
result when a file that "merged head" updates has local
modifications. This is demonstrated as "case 16" test in t1005.

This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an
ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that
consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff
output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions:
- A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D
(deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them.
- The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match
anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains
selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to
that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option).
For example,
$ git-rev-list HEAD |
git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR
shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or
rename.

Normally, diff-tree does not feed unchanged filepair to diffcore
for performance reasons, so copies are detected only when the

When rename/copy uses a file that was broken by diffcore-break
as the source, and the broken filepair gets merged back later,
the output was mislabeled as a rename. In this case, the source
file ends up staying in the output, so we should label it as a
copy instead.

A meaningful (ie non-empty) git patch always has more information in the
header than just the "diff --git" line itself: it needs to have either a
patch associated with it (which implies "---" and "+++" lines in the
header) or it needs to have rename/copy/delete/create information in it.
Just ignore git patches which have no change information. Otherwise we'll
end up with a patch that doesn't have filenames etc filled in, and we'll
be unhappy.
When we choose to omit deleted entries, we should subtract
numbers of such entries from the total number in the header.

This is the same as "-m", but it will silently ignore any unmerged
entries, which makes it useful for efficiently forcing a new position
regardless of the state of the current index file.
IOW, to reset to a previous HEAD (in case you have had a failed
merge, for example), you'd just do
git-read-tree -u --reset HEAD
which will also update your working tree to the right state.
NOTE! The "update" will not remove files that may have been added by the
merge. Yet.
This uses git-checkout-file to make sure that the full pathname is
created, instead of the script having to verify it by hand. Also,
simplify the 3-way merge case by just writing to the right file and
setting the initial index contents early.
Junio points out that we may need to create the path leading
up the the file we merge.
And we need to be more careful with the "exec"s we've done
to exit on success - only do the on the last command in the
pipeline, not the first one ;)
Chain the resolving sequences (e.g. git-cat-file - chmod -
git-update-cache) through &&s so we stop right away in case one of the
command fails, and report the error code to the script caller.
Also add a copyright notice, some blank lines, ;; on a separate line,
and nicer error messages.

This changes how we handle merges: if a automated merge
fails, we will leave the index as a clean entry pointing
to the original branch, and leave the actual file _dirty_
the way the "merge" program left it.
You can then just do "git-diff-files -p" to see what the
merge conflicts did, fix them up, and commit the end result.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! Do _not_ use "git commit" to commit such
a merge. It won't set the parents right. I'll need to fix
that. In the meantime, you'd need to merge using
git-commit-tree $(git-write) -p HEAD -p MERGE_HEAD
or something like that by hand.
This updates t1000 (basic 3-way merge test) to check the merge
results for both successful cases (earlier one checked the
result for only one of them). Also fixes typos in t1002 that
broke '&&' chain, potentially missing a test failure before the
chain got broken.

This patch fixes three bugs in --merge-order support
* mark_ancestors_uninteresting was unnecessarily exponential which
caused a problem when a commit with no parents was merged near the
head of something like the linux kernel
* removed a spurious statement from find_base which wasn't
apparently causing problems now, but wasn't correct either.
* removed an unnecessarily strict check from find_base_for_list
that causes a problem if git-rev-list commit ^parent-of-commit
is specified.
* added some unit tests which were accidentally omitted from
original merge-order patch
The fix to mark_ancestors_uninteresting isn't an optimal fix - a full
graph scan will still be performed in this case even though it is
not strictly required. However, a full graph scan is linear
and still no worse than git-rev-list HEAD which runs in less than 2
seconds on a warm cache.

This gets the "cvs2git" program from the old git-tools
archive, and adds a nice script around it that makes it
much easier to use.
With this, you should be able to import a CVS archive
using just a simple
git cvsimport <cvsroot> <module>
and you're done. At least it worked for my one single test.
NOTE!! This may need tweaking. It currently expects (and
verifies) that cvsps version 2.1 is installed, but you
can't actually set any of the cvsps parameters, like the
time fuzz.
Allow traditional ssh path specifiers (host:path), and let the user
override the command name on the other end.
With this, I can push to kernel.org with this script
export GIT_SSH_PULL=/home/torvalds/bin/git-ssh-pull
git-ssh-push -a -v -w heads/master heads/master master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
which while not pretty is at least workable.
