git -p blame --incremental still starts the pager, though.

Being lazy to rely on the cycling N buffers mkpath() and friends
return is nice in general, but it makes it too easy to introduce
new bugs that are "mysterious".
Introduction of read_ref() in create_symref() after calling
git_path() to get the git_HEAD value (i.e. the path to create a
new symref at) consumed more than the available buffers and
broke a later call to mkpath() that derives lockpath from it.

My prior change to git-describe attempts to print the distance
between the input commit and the best matching tag, but this distance
was usually only an estimate as we always aborted revision walking
as soon as we overflowed the configured limit on the number of
possible tags (as set by --candidates).
Displaying an estimated distance is not very useful and can just be
downright confusing. Most users (heck, most Git developers) don't
immediately understand why this distance differs from the output
of common tools such as `git rev-list | wc -l`. Even worse, the
estimated distance could change in the future (including decreasing
despite no rebase occuring) if we find more possible tags earlier
on during traversal. (This could happen if more tags are merged
into the branch between queries.) These factors basically make an
estimated distance useless.
Fortunately we are usually most of the way through an accurate
distance computation by the time we abort (due to reaching the
current --candidates limit). This means we can simply finish
counting out the revisions still in our commit queue to present
the accurate distance at the end. The number of commits remaining
in the commit queue is probably less than the number of commits
already traversed, so finishing out the count is not likely to take
very long. This final distance will then always match the output of
`git rev-list | wc -l`.
We can easily reduce the total number of commits that need to be
walked at the end by stopping as soon as all of the commits in the
commit queue are flagged as being merged into the already selected
best possible tag. If that's true then there are no remaining
unseen commits which can contribute to our best possible tag's
depth counter, so further traversal is useless.
Basic testing on my Mac OS X system shows there is no noticable
performance difference between this accurate distance counting
version of git-describe and the prior version of git-describe,
at least when run on git.git.

If you get two different describes at different
times from a non-rewinding branch and they both come up with the same
tag name, you can tell which is the 'newer' one by distance. This is
rather common in practice, so its incredibly useful.

to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value

I did this:

gpg: signing failed: secret key not available
failed to sign the tag with GPG.
The problem is that I have used the comment field in my key's UID

$ gpg --list-keys andy
pub 1024D/4F712F6D 2003-08-14
uid Andy Parkins (Google) <andyparkins@gmail.com>
So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>";
obviously it's not going to be found.
There shouldn't be a requirement that I use the same form of my name in
my git repository and my gpg key - I might want to be formal (Andrew) in
my gpg key and informal (Andy) in the repository. Further I might have
multiple keys in my keyring, and might want to use one that doesn't
match up with the address I use in commit messages.
This patch adds a configuration entry "user.signingkey" which, if
present, will be passed to the "-u" switch for gpg, allowing the tag
signing key to be overridden. If the entry is not present, the fallback
is the original method, which means existing behaviour will continue
untouched.

OK, its official, I'm not reading documentation as well as I should be.
Core Git's merge.summary configuration option is used to control the
generation of the text appearing within the merge commit itself. It
is not (and never has been) used to default the --no-summary command
line option, which disables the diffstat at the end of the merge.
I completely blame Git for naming two unrelated options almost the
exact same thing. But its my own fault for allowing git-gui to

When on a non-tag commit, git-describe normally outputs descriptions of
the form
v1.0.0-g1234567890
Some scripts (for example the update hook script) might just want to
know the name of the nearest tag, so they then have to do
x=$(git-describe HEAD | sed 's/-g*//')
This is costly, but more importantly is fragile as it is relying on the
output format of git-describe, which we would then have to maintain
forever.
This patch adds support for setting the --abbrev option to zero. In
that case git-describe does as it always has, but outputs only the
nearest found tag instead of a completely unique name. This means that
scripts would not have to parse the output format and won't need
changing if the git-describe suffix is ever changed.

Changed our private merge summary config option to be the same as the
merge.summary option supported by core Git. This means setting the
"Show Merge Summary" flag in git-gui will have the same effect on
the command line.
In the same vein I've also added merge.verbosity to the gui options,
allowing the user to adjust the verbosity level of the recursive
merge strategy. I happen to like level 1 and suggest that other users
use that, but level 2 is the core Git default right now so we'll use
the same default in git-gui.
Unfortunately it appears as though core Git has broken support for
the merge.summary option, even though its still in the documentation
For the time being we should pass along --no-summary to git-merge if
merge.summary is false.

If an octopus merge goes horribly wrong git-merge will leave the
working directory and index dirty, but will not leave behind a
MERGE_HEAD file for a later commit. Consequently we won't know
its a merge commit and instead would let the user resolve the
conflicts and commit a single-parent commit, which is wrong.
So now if an octopus merge fails we notify the user that the
merge did not work, tell them we will reset the working directory,
and suggest that they merge one branch at a time. This prevents
the user from committing a bad octopus merge.

If you get into the middle of a merge that turns out to be horrible

To allow users to merge local heads and tracking branches we now offer
a dialog which lets the user select 1-15 branches and merge them using
the stock `git merge` Grand Unified Merge Driver.
Originally I had wanted to implement this merge internally within git-gui
as I consider GUMD to be mostly Porcelain-ish, but the truth is it does
its job exceedingly well and its a relatively complex chunk of code.
I'll probably circle back later and try to remove the invocation of GUMD
from git-gui, but right now it lets me get the job done faster.
Users cannot start a merge if they are currently in the middle of one,
or if they are amending a commit. Trying to do either is just stupid
and should be stopped as early as possible.
I've also made it simple for users to startup a gitk session prior to
a merge by offering a Visualize button which runs `gitk $revs --not HEAD`,
where $revs is the list of branches currently selected in the merge
dialog. This makes it quite simple to find out what the damage will
be to the current branch if you were to carry out the currently proposed
merge.

Technically the new git-gc command is strictly Porcelain; its invoking
multiple plumbing commands to do its work. Since git-gui tries to not
rely on Porclain we shouldn't be invoking git-gc directly, instead we
should perform its tasks on our own.
To make this easy I've created console_chain, which takes a list of
tasks to perform and runs them all in the same console window. If
any individual task fails then the chain stops running and the window
shows a failure bar. Only once all tasks have been completed will it
invoke console_done with a successful status.

Because I want to be able to run multiple output-producing commands
in a single 'console' window within git-gui I'm refactoring the
console handling routines to require the "after" argument of console_exec.
This should specify a procedure to execute which will receive two args,
the first is the console window handle and the second is the status of
the last command (0 on failure, 1 on success).
A new procedure console_done can be passed to the last console_exec
command to forward perform all cleanup and enable the Close button.
Its status argument is used to update the final status bar on the
bottom of the console window.

bug turned out to be caused by a foreach loop going through all file
list names searching for the path. Since $ui_index was the first one
searched and the file was contained in that file list the loop broke
out, leaving $w set to $ui_index when it had been set by the caller
to $ui_workdir. Silly bug caused by using a parameter as a loop

The "contains" algorithm runs into an infinite loop if the needle string
has zero length. The loop could be modified to handle this, but it makes
more sense to simply have an empty needle return no matches. Thus, a
command like
git log -S
produces no output.
We place the check at the top of the function so that we get the same
results with or without --pickaxe-regex. Note that until now,
git log -S --pickaxe-regex
would match everything, not nothing.
Arguably, an empty pickaxe string should simply produce an error
message; however, this is still a useful assertion to add to the
algorithm at this layer of the code.
