We currently point the HEAD of a newly cloned repo to the
same ref as the parent repo's HEAD. While a user can then
"git checkout -b foo origin/foo" whichever branch they
choose, it is more convenient and more efficient to tell
clone which branch you want in the first place.
Based on a patch by Kirill A. Korinskiy.

git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Minor improvement to the write-tree documentation
git-bisect: call the found commit "*the* first bad commit"
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.
This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

Since 4afbaef (gitweb: ref markers link to named shortlogs, 2008-09-02),
ref markers that accompany the subject in views such as shortlog and
history point to something different from the subject itself. Therefore,
they should not be included in the same <a> element.
Benefits of the change are:
* better compliance to the XHTML standards, that forbid links within
links even though the restriction cannot be imposed via DTD; this also
benefits visualization in some older browsers;
* when hovering the subject, only the subject itself is underlined; when
hovering the ref markers, only the text in the hovered ref marker is
underlined; previously, hovering any written part of the subject column
led to complete underlying of everything at the same time, with
unpleasing effects.

And then unescape them when writing to $GIT_CONFIG.
SVN has different rules for repository URLs (usually the root)
and for paths within that repository (below the HTTP layer).
Thus, for the request URI path at the HTTP level, the URI needs
to be encoded. However, in the body of the HTTP request (the
with underlying SVN XML protocol), those paths should not be
URI-encoded[1]. For non-HTTP(S) requests, SVN appears to be
more flexible and will except weird characters in the URL as
well as URI-encoded ones.
Since users are used to using URLs being entirely URI-encoded,
git svn will now attempt to unescape the path portion of URLs
while leaving the actual repository URL untouched.
This change will be reflected in newly-created $GIT_CONFIG files
only. This allows users to switch between svn(+ssh)://, file://
and http(s):// urls without changing the fetch/branches/tags
config keys. This won't affect existing imports at all (since
things didn't work before this commit anyways), and will allow
users to force escaping into repository paths that look like
they're escaped (but are not).
Thanks to Mike Smullin for the original bug report and Björn
Steinbrink for summarizing it into testable cases for me.

filter-branch: add an example how to add ACKs to a range of commits
docs: describe impact of repack on "clone -s"
Make append_remote_object_url() (and by implication,
get_remote_object_url) use end_url_with_slash() to ensure that the url
ends with a slash.
Previously, they assumed that the url did not end with a slash and
as a result appended a slash, sometimes errorneously.
This fixes an issue introduced in 5424bc5 ("http*: add helper methods
for fetching objects (loose)"), where the append_remote_object_url()
implementation in http-push.c, which assumed that urls end with a
slash, was replaced by another one in http.c, which assumed urls did
not end with a slash.
The above issue was raised by Thomas Schlichter:

When you have to add certain lines like ACKs (or for that matter,
Signed-off-by:s) to a range of commits starting with HEAD, you might
be tempted to use 'git rebase -i -10', but that is a waste of your
time.
It is better to use 'git filter-branch' with an appropriate message
filter, and this commit adds an example how to do so to
filter-branch's man page.

Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly
removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading
path that is a symlink. It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was
broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked
symlinks, 2009-07-29).
I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter
(prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire
a similar function has_dirs_only_path().
Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and
base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index"
when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there. It
might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir
feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know.
But at least this patch should fix this breakage.

Reading the index into an empty file has been broken by
5a56da5806, since it causes the existing
index to always be loaded first, and dies if it's an empty file:
$ GIT_INDEX_FILE=`mktemp` git read-tree master
fatal: index file smaller than expected
It breaks for instance committing from git.el. This patch reverts to the
previous behavior of only loading the index when merging it.

The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit
subtle. The two main things users will want are:
1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could
be shared.
2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source
repo.
This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes
sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases.
For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_
to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s".
For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a
task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no
reason to look at the repack documentation.
