This is a companion patch to 4f9dcf7e5c
which stops mentioning the old command names. As promised, we do not
install symlinks to let people use backward compatibility names anymore.
cmd-rename.sh script is still shipped to help people who installed
previous git by hand to clean up the leftover symlinks.

Done in 0.99.9
==============
Ports
~~~~~
* Cygwin port [HPA].
* OpenBSD build [Merlyn and others].
Fixes
~~~~~
* clone request over git native protocol from a repository with
too many refs did not work; this has been fixed.
* git-daemon got safer for kernel.org use [HPA].
* Extended SHA1 parser was not enforcing uniqueness for
abbreviated SHA1; this has been fixed.
* http transport does not barf on funny characters in URL.
* The ref naming restrictions have been formalized and the
coreish refuses to create funny refs; we still need to audit
importers. See git-check-ref-format(1).
New Features and Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* .git/config file as a per-repository configuration mechanism,
and some commands understand it [Linus]. See
git(7).
* The core.filemode configuration item can be used to make us a
bit more FAT friendly. See git(7).
* The extended SHA1 notation acquired Peel-the-onion operator
^{type} and ^{}. See git-rev-parse(1).
* SVN importer [Matthias]. See git-svnimport(1).
* .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2} directories are created on demand,
and removed when becomes empty after prune-packed [Linus].
* Filenames output from various commands without -z option are
quoted when they embed funny characters (TAB and LF) using
C-style quoting within double-quotes, to match the proposed
GNU diff/patch notation [me, but many people contributed in
the discussion].
* git-mv is expected to be a better replacement for git-rename.
While the latter has two parameter restriction, it acts more
like the regular 'mv' that can move multiple things to one
destinatino directory [Josef Weidendorfer].
* git-checkout can take filenames to revert the changes to
them. See git-checkout(1)
* The new program git-am is a replacement for git-applymbox that
has saner command line options and a bit easier to use when a
patch does not apply cleanly.
* git-ls-remote can show unwrapped onions using ^{} notation, to
help Cogito to track tags.
* git-merge-recursive backend can merge unrelated projects.
* git-clone over native transport leaves the result packed.
* git-http-fetch issues multiple requests in parallel when
underlying cURL library supports it [Nick and Daniel].
* git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack try harder to figure out
better common commits [Johannes].
* git-read-tree -u removes a directory when it makes it empty.
* git-diff-* records abbreviated SHA1 names of original and
resulting blob; this sometimes helps to apply otherwise an
unapplicable patch by falling back to 3-way merge.
* git-format-patch now takes series of from..to rev ranges and
with '-m --stdout', writes them out to the standard output.
This can be piped to 'git-am' to implement cheaper
cherry-picking.
* git-tag takes '-u' to specify the tag signer identity [Linus].
* git-rev-list can take optional pathspecs to skip commits that
do not touch them (--dense) [Linus].
* Comes with new and improved gitk [Paulus and Linus].

git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by
walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the
following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous
names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller.
With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags.
With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name
could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".)

git-pack-objects can reuse pack files stored in $GIT_DIR/pack-cache
directory, when a necessary pack is found. This is hopefully useful
when upload-pack (called from git-daemon) is expected to receive
requests for the same set of objects many times (e.g full cloning
request of any project, or updates from the set of heads previous day
to the latest for a slow moving project).
Currently git-pack-objects does *not* keep pack files it creates for
reusing. It might be useful to add --update-cache option to it,
which would allow it store pack files it created in the pack-cache
directory, and prune rarely used ones from it.

It supersedes git-rename by adding functionality to move multiple
files, directories or symlinks into another directory. It also
provides according documentation.
The implementation renames multiple files, using the arguments from
the command line to produce an array of sources and destinations. In
a first pass, all requested renames are checked for errors, and
overwriting of existing files is only allowed with '-f'. The actual
renaming is done in a second pass. This ensures that any error
condition is checked before anything is changed.

This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree"
program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file.
This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a
specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history.
Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves
some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.
The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the
diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.
Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree
itself.

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.
The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:
#
# This is the config file, and
# a '#' or ';' character indicates
# a comment
#
; core variables
[core]
; Don't trust file modes
filemode = false
; Our diff algorithm
[diff]
external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
renames = true
which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.
Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.
Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.

This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.
The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

After seeing Jeff's guide, I changed my mind about the

This is a careful version of the script stuff that currently just
blindly writes HEAD with a new value.
You can use
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead>
or
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead> <oldhead>
where the latter version verifies that the old value of HEAD matches
oldhead.
It basically allows a "ref" file to be a symbolic pointer to another ref
file by starting with the four-byte header sequence of "ref:".
More importantly, it allows the update of a ref file to follow these
symbolic pointers, whether they are symlinks or these "regular file
symbolic refs".
NOTE! It follows _real_ symlinks only if they start with "refs/":
otherwise it will just try to read them and update them as a regular file
(ie it will allow the filesystem to follow them, but will overwrite such a
symlink to somewhere else with a regular filename).
In general, using
git-update-ref HEAD "$head"
should be a _lot_ safer than doing
echo "$head" > "$GIT_DIR/HEAD"
both from a symlink following standpoint _and_ an error checking
standpoint. The "refs/" rule for symlinks means that symlinks that point
to "outside" the tree are safe: they'll be followed for reading but not
for writing (so we'll never write through a ref symlink to some other
tree, if you have copied a whole archive by creating a symlink tree).
