"git log" family of commands, even when run from a subdirectory,
do not limit the revision range with the current directory as
the path limiter, but with double-dash without any paths after
it, i.e. "git log --" do so. It was a mistake to have a
difference between "git log --" and "git log" introduced in
commit ae563542bf (First cut at
libifying revlist generation).

When appending the "git-archimport-id:" line to the end of log entries,
git-archimport would use two blank lines as a separator when there was no
body in the arch log (only a Summary: line), and zero blank lines when there
was a body (making it hard to see the break between the actual log message
and the git-archimport-id: line).
This patch makes git-archimport generate one blank line as a separator in all
cases.

We used to trigger the special case "things not in origin"
semantics only when one and only one positive ref is given, and
no number (e.g. "git format-patch -4 origin") was specified, and
used the general revision range semantics for everything else.
This narrows the special case a bit more, by making:
git format-patch --root this_version
to show everything that leads to the named commit.
More importantly, document the two different semantics better.
The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on
without being clearly documented.

This clarifies the logic to omit fast-forward check and omit
trivial merge before running the specified strategy.
The "index_merge" variable started out as a flag to say "do not
do anything clever", but when recursive was changed to skip the
trivial merge, the semantics were changed and the variable alone
does not make sense anymore.
This splits the variable into two, allow_fast_forward (which is
almost always true, and avoids making a merge commit when the
other commit is a descendant of our branch, but is set to false
for ours and subtree) and allow_trivial_merge (which is false
for ours, recursive and subtree).
Unlike the earlier implementation, the "ours" strategy allows an
up-to-date condition. When we are up-to-date, the result will
be our commit, and by definition, we will have our tree as the
result.

"GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet
"git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing. They
both ignored git-dir specified, and instead made $cwd as GIT_DIR.
This changes --bare not to override existing GIT_DIR.
This has been like this for a long time. Let's hope nobody sane
relied on this insane behaviour.

Here is my attempt to fix this with a minimally intrusive patch.
* As "git --bare init" cannot tell if it was called with --bare or
just "GIT_DIR=. git init", I added an explicit assignment of
is_bare_repository_cfg on the codepath for "git --bare".
* GIT_WORK_TREE alone without GIT_DIR does not make any sense,
nor GIT_WORK_TREE with an explicit "git --bare". Catch that
mistake. It might make sense to move this check to "git.c"
side as well, but I tried to shoot for the minimum change for
now.
* Some scripts, especially from the olden days, rely on
traditional GIT_DIR behaviour in "git init". Namely, these
are some notable patterns:
(create a bare repository)
- mkdir some.git && cd some.git && GIT_DIR=. git init
- mkdir some.git && cd some.git && git --bare init
(create a non-bare repository)
- mkdir .git && GIT_DIR=.git git init
- mkdir .git && GIT_DIR=`pwd`/.git git init
This comes with a new test script and also passes the existing
test suite, but there may be cases that are still broken with
the current tip of master and this patch does not yet fix. I'd
appreciate help in straightening this mess out.

Uwe Kleine-König noticed that under certain circumstances, name-rev
picked a non-optimal tag. Jeff King analyzed that name-rev only
takes into account the number of merge traversals, and then the
_last_ number in the description.
As an easy way to fix it, use a weighting factor for merge traversals:
A merge traversal is now made 65535 times more expensive than a
first-parent traversal.

Currently, searchbox is CSS'd to have position: absolute, which has the
unfortunate consequence that if the viewport is too small and can't fit
into the page width together with the navbar, it gets overlapped and part
of the navbar gets obscured. This makes searchbox float: right instead,
thus the navbar simply gets wrapped.

The immediate motivation for writing this section was to explain the
various places ignore patterns could be used. However, I still think
.gitignore is the case most people will want to learn about first. It
also makes it a bit more concrete to introduce ignore patterns in the
context of .gitignore first. And the existance of gitignore(5) relieves
the pressure to explain it all here.
So, stick to the .gitignore example, with only a brief mention of the
others, explain the syntax only by example, and leave the rest to
gitignore(5).

Under some types of packfile corruption the zlib stream holding the
data for a delta within a packfile may fail to inflate, due to say
a CRC failure within the compressed data itself. When this occurs
the unpack_compressed_entry function will return NULL as a signal to
the caller that the data is not available. Unfortunately we then
tried to use that NULL as though it referenced a memory location
where a delta was stored and tried to apply it to the delta base.
Loading a byte from the NULL address typically causes a SIGSEGV.
cate on #git noticed this failure in `git fsck --full` where the
call to verify_pack() first noticed that the packfile was corrupt
by finding that the packfile's SHA-1 did not match the raw data of
the file. After finding this fsck went ahead and tried to verify
every object within the packfile, even though the packfile was
already known to be bad. If we are going to shovel bad data at
the delta unpacking code, we better handle it correctly.
