Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing
whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message,
sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it.
For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with
"#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible
if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell
script including its comments for future reference.
The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The
default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either
strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the
whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

The tar-ball and the git archive itself is fine, but yes, the diff from
2.6.23 to 2.6.24-rc6 is bad. It's the "trim_common_tail()" optimization
that has caused way too much pain.
Very interesting breakage. The patch was actually "correct" in a (rather
limited) technical sense, but the context at the end was missing because
while the trim_common_tail() code made sure to keep enough common context
to allow a valid diff to be generated, the diff machinery itself could
decide that it could generate the diff differently than the "obvious"
solution.
Thee sad fact is that the git optimization (which is very important for
"git blame", which needs no context), is only really valid for that one
case where we really don't need any context.
[jc: since this is shared with "git diff -U0" codepath, context recovery
to the end of line needs to be done even for zero context case.]

Earlier conversion of shell scripts to parse-options made usage()
to run "git cmd -h" which in turn emit LONG_USAGE and exit with 0

During git-rebase --interactive's --continue implementation we used
to silently restart the rebase if the user had made the commit
for us. This is common if the user stops to edit a commit and
does so by amending it. My recent change to watch git-commit's
exit status broke this behavior.

The prepare_log_message() function serves two purposes:
- Prepares the commit log message template, to be given to the end
user;
- Return true if there is something committable;
7168624c35 (Do not generate full commit
log message if it is not going to be used) cheated to omit the former
when we know the log message template is not going to be used. However,
its replacement logic to see if there is something committable was
botched. When amending, it should compare the index with the parent of
the HEAD, not the current HEAD. Otherwise you cannot run --amend to
fix only the message without changing the tree.

If we are rebasing changes that contain potential whitespace
errors that our .git/hooks/pre-commit hook looks for and fails
on then git-commit will fail to commit that change. This causes
git-rebase--interactive to squash commits together, even though it
was not requested to do so by the todo file.
Passing --no-verify to git-commit makes git-rebase -i behave more
like git-rebase normally would in such conditions, providing more
consistent behavior between the different rebase implementations.

It's possible for bad clients to commit symlinks without the
5-character "link " prefix in symlinks. So guard around this
bug in SVN and make a best effort to create symlinks if the
"link " prefix is missing.
More information on this SVN bug is described here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2692
To be pedantic, there is still a corner case that neither we nor
SVN can handle: If somebody made a link using a broken SVN
client where "link " is the first part of its path, e.g.
"link sausage", then we'd end up having a symlink which points
to "sausage" because we incorrectly stripped the "link ".
Hopefully this hasn't happened in practice, but if it has,
it's not our fault SVN is broken :)

We set the 6 environment variables for controlling
committer/author email/name/time for every commit.
We do this in the parent process to be passed to
git-commit-tree, because open3() doesn't afford us the control
of doing it only in the child process. This means we leave them
hanging around in the main process until the next revision comes
around and all 6 environment variables are overwridden again.
Unfortunately, for the last commit, leaving them hanging around
means the git-rebase invocation will pick it up, rewriting the
rebased commit with incorrect author information. This should fix
it.

There was an attempt to list the refs that were rewritten by filtering
the output of 'git show-ref' for 'refs/original'. But it got the
grep argument wrong, which did not account for the SHA1 that is listed
before the ref.
Moreover, right before this summary is the loop that actually does the
rewriting, and the rewritten refs are listed there anyway. So this extra
summary is plainly too verbose.
