Not only this makes the code clearer since setting up the porcelain error
message is meant to work with show_all_errors, but this fixes a call to
setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() in git_merge_trees() which did not set
show_all_errors.
add_rejected_path() used to double-check whether it was running in
plumbing mode. This check was ineffective since it was setting
show_all_errors too late for traverse_trees() to see it, and is made
useless by this patch. Remove it.

When 'git checkout' reports uncommitted changes, it also does so for
submodules.
The default mode is now to look really hard into submodules, not only
for different commits, but also for modified files. Since this can be
pretty expensive when there are a lot (and large) submodules, there is
the diff.ignoreSubmodules option.
Let's respect that setting when 'git checkout' reports the uncommitted

When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
(i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),
Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.
As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:

The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most

Similar to -b, --orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any
commit. After running "git checkout --orphan newbranch", you are on a
new branch "newbranch", and the first commit you create from this state
will start a new history without any ancestry.
"git checkout --orphan" keeps the index and the working tree files
intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose
trees resemble the ones from the original branch.
When creating a branch whose trees have no resemblance to the ones from
the original branch, it may be easier to start work on the new branch by
untracking and removing all working tree files that came from the
original branch, by running a 'git rm -rf .' immediately after running
"checkout --orphan".

git checkout --merge --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflict
hunks including text from the common ancestor. The added information
is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and merge tools tend to
understand it because it is very similar to what ‘diff3 -m’ produces.
Unlike current git, diff3 -m includes a label for the merge base on
the ||||||| line, and unfortunately, some tools cannot parse the
conflict hunks without it. Humans can benefit from a cue when
learning to interpreting the format, too. Mark the start of the text
from the old branch with a label based on the branch’s name.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing this output and its preimage
ids are unchanged since it includes its own code for recreating
conflict hunks. No other code in git tries to parse conflict hunks.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus

The old "advice" message explained how to create a branch after going into
a detached HEAD state but didn't make it clear why the user may want to do
so. Also "moving to ... which isn't a local branch" was unclear if it is
complaining, if it is describing the new state, or if it is explaining why
the HEAD is detached (the true reason is the last one).
Give the established phrase 'detached HEAD' first to make it easy for
users to look up the concept in documentation, and briefly describe what
can be done in the state (i.e. play around without having to clean up)
before telling the user how to keep what was done during the temporary
state.
Allow the long description to be hidden by setting advice.detachedHead
configuration to false.
We might want to customize the advice depending on how the commit to check
out was spelled (e.g. instead of "new-branch-name", we way want to say
"topic" when "git checkout origin/topic" triggered this message) in later
updates, but this encapsulates that into a separate function and it should
be a good first step.

When switching to a different commit, we first see the named rev exists
as a commit using lookup_commit_reference_gently(), and set new.path to
a string "refs/heads/" followed by the name the user gave us (but after
taking into special short-hands like @{-1} == "previous branch" and
"@{upstream}" == "the branch we merge with" into account). If the
resulting string names an existsing ref, then we are switching to that
branch (and will be building new commits on top of it); otherwise we are
detaching HEAD at that commit.
When the "master..." syntax is used as a short-hand for "master...HEAD",
we do want to detach HEAD at the merge base. However, on Windows, when
asked if ".git/refs/heads/master..." exists, the filesystem happily says
"it does" when ".git/refs/heads/master" exists.
Work this issue around by first calling check_ref_format(new.path) to see
if the string can possibly be a valid ref under "refs/heads/", before
asking resolve_ref().
We used to run another lookup_commit_reference(rev) even though we know it
succeeded and we have a good commit in new.commit already; this has been
with us from 782c2d6 (Build in checkout, 2008-02-07), the first version we

When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or

entries from the index. Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.
Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary. The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.

When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing
this sequence:
* Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit
on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next';
* Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it;
* Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and
* "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify.
Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to,
to make the first two steps easier. When the branch to switch to is
specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD
is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two
commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD
at that commit.

When checkout sees that HEAD points to a non-existent ref,
it currently acts as if "-f" was given; this behavior dates
back to 5a03e7f, which enabled checkout from unborn branches
in the shell version of "git-checkout". The reasoning given
is to avoid the code path which tries to merge the tree
contents. When checkout was converted to C, this code
remained intact.
The unfortunate side effect of this strategy is that the
"force" code path will overwrite working tree and index
state that may be precious to the user. Instead of enabling
"force", this patch uses the normal "merge" codepath for an
unborn branch, but substitutes the empty tree for the "old"
commit.
This means that in the absence of an index, any files in the
working tree will be treated as untracked files, and a
checkout which would overwrite them is aborted. Similarly,
any paths in the index will be merged with an empty entry
as the base, meaning that unless the new branch's content is
identical to what's in the index, there will be a conflict
and the checkout will be aborted.
The user is then free to correct the situation or proceed
with "-f" as appropriate.
This patch also removes the "warning: you are on a branch
yet to be born" message. Its function was to warn the user
that we were enabling the "-f" option. Since we are no
longer doing that, there is no reason for the user to care
whether we are switching away from an unborn branch.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage
git checkout --patch -- [files...]
it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).
We also accept a revision argument. In the case
git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]
we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage
git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]
it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.
The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree). If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

This makes git checkout know to use the threaded index preloading if it
is enabled in the config file. You need to have
[core]
preloadindex = true
in your config file to see it, and for that feature to make sense your
filesystem needs to be able to do concurrent 'lstat()' lookups, but when
that is the case (especially NFS over a high-latency network), this can
be a noticeable performance win.
But with a low-latency network and at least older Linux NFS clients, this
will clearly potentially cause a lot of lock contention. It may still
speed up the uncached case, but the threading and locking overhead will
result in the cached case likely slowing down.
That was almost certainly fixed by Linux commit fc0f684c2 ("NFS: Remove
BKL from NFS lookup code"), but that one got merged into 2.6.27-rc1, so
older kernel versions than 2.6.27 will not scale very well.
But regardless, it's the right thing to do. If your filesystem doesn't
scale, don't enable index preloading.
