The new merge world order tells the merge strategies to leave
the cache unmerged and store the automerge result in the working
tree if automerge is not clean. This was done for the resolve
strategy and recursive strategy when no rename is involved, but
recording a conflicting merge in the rename case could not
easily be done by the recursive strategy.
This commit adds a new input format, in addition to the exsting
two, to "update-index --index-info".
(1) mode SP sha1 TAB path
The first format is what "git-apply --index-info"
reports, and used to reconstruct a partial tree
that is used for phony merge base tree when falling
back on 3-way merge.
(2) mode SP type SP sha1 TAB path
The second format is to stuff git-ls-tree output
into the index file.
(3) mode SP sha1 SP stage TAB path
This format is to put higher order stages into the
index file and matches git-ls-files --stage output.
To place a higher stage entry to the index, the path should
first be removed by feeding a mode=0 entry for the path, and
then feeding necessary input lines in the (3) format.
For example, starting with this index:
$ git ls-files -s
100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 0 frotz
$ git update-index --index-info ;# interactive session -- input follows...
0 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 frotz
100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz
100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz
The first line of the input feeds 0 as the mode to remove the
path; the SHA1 does not matter as long as it is well formatted.
Then the second and third line feeds stage 1 and stage 2 entries
for that path. After the above, we would end up with this:
$ git ls-files -s
100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz
100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz
This completes the groundwork for the new merge world order.

With this, you can say "git-show-branch topic/* master" to show
all the topic branches you have under .git/refs/heads/topic/ and
your master branch. Another example is "git-show-branch --list

saying "heads/topic/*" to show only topic branches if you have
tags under .git/refs/tags/topic/ as well.

This patch aims to freshen up a bit the git-ls-tree documentation. It hints
that the list of paths are in fact patterns to be matched, explains the new
-t, --name-only and --name-status options, corrects the original autorship
information to refer to yours sincerely, corrects several grammar mistakes,
etc.
Since the documentation still deserves some significant work (at least
proper description of the pattern matching), I also added the stub notice.

After thinking about it more, I realized that much of the change
I did on top of Linus' version does not make much sense. This
commit reverts it so that it by default shows diffs with stage0
paths or stage2 paths with working tree; the unmerged stage to
use can be overridden with -1/-2/-3 option (-2 is the default so
essentially is a no-op).
When the index file is unmerged, we are by definition in the
middle of a conflicting merge, and we should show the diff with
stage 2 by default. More importantly, paths without conflicts
are updated in the working tree and collapsed to stage0 in the
index, so showing diff with stage0 at the same time does not
hurt. In normal cases, stage0 entries should be in sync with
the working tree files and does not clutter the output. It even
helps the user to realize that the working tree has local
changes unrelated to the merge and remember to be careful not to
do a "git-commit -a" after resolving the conflicts.
When there is no unmerged entries, giving diff_unmerged_stage a
default value of 2 does not cause any harm, because it would not
be used anyway. So in all, always showing diff between stage0
paths and unmerged entries from a stage (defaulting to 2) is the
right thing to do, as Linus originally did.

While resolving conflicted merge, it was not easy to compare the
working tree file with unmerged index entries. This commit
introduces new options -1/-2/-3 (with synonyms --base, --ours,
and --theirs) to compare working tree files with specified
stages.
When none of these options are given, the command defaults to -2
if the index file is unmerged, otherwise it acts as before.

Instead, open two SVN connections -- one for the log, and one for the files.
