This gets the "cvs2git" program from the old git-tools
archive, and adds a nice script around it that makes it
much easier to use.
With this, you should be able to import a CVS archive
using just a simple
git cvsimport <cvsroot> <module>
and you're done. At least it worked for my one single test.
NOTE!! This may need tweaking. It currently expects (and
verifies) that cvsps version 2.1 is installed, but you
can't actually set any of the cvsps parameters, like the
time fuzz.
Allow traditional ssh path specifiers (host:path), and let the user
override the command name on the other end.
With this, I can push to kernel.org with this script
export GIT_SSH_PULL=/home/torvalds/bin/git-ssh-pull
git-ssh-push -a -v -w heads/master heads/master master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
which while not pretty is at least workable.
This implements the "never lose the current cache information or
the work tree state, but favor a successful merge over merge
failure" principle in the fast-forward two-tree merge operation.
It comes with a set of tests to cover all the cases described in
the case matrix found in the new documentation.

This fixes the documentation for git-ssh-push, as called by users (if you
run git-ssh-pull or git-ssh-push on one machine, the other runs on the
other machine, and they transfer data in the specified direction).
This also adds documentation for the -w option and for using filenames for
the commit-id (which does what you'd want: uses the source side's value,
not the value already on the target, even if you're running it on the
target).
It also credits me with the programs and the documentation for
git-ssh-push.

Looking good, but hey, it's not like I even have a real testcase for any
of this. But unlike the mess that this was yerstday, today read-cache
is pretty readable and understandable. Which is always a good sign.
Stop trying to haev this stateful thing that keeps track of what it has
seen, and use a much simpler "gather all the different stages with the
same name together and just merge them in one go" approach.
Makes it a lot more understandable, and allows the different merge
algorithms to share the basic merge loop.
This patch teaches read-tree how to use the index file locking
helpers the same way "checkout-cache -u" and "update-cache" do.

This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.
The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.
With this patch a graph like this:
a4 ---
| \ \
| b4 |
|/ | |
a3 | |
| | |
a2 | |
| | c3
| | |
| | c2
| b3 |
| | /|
| b2 |
| | c1
| | /
| b1
a1 |
| |
a0 |
| /
root
Sorts like this:
= a4
| c3
| c2
| c1
^ b4
| b3
| b2
| b1
^ a3
| a2
| a1
| a0
= root
Instead of this:
= a4
| c3
^ b4
| a3
^ c2
^ b3
^ a2
^ b2
^ c1
^ a1
^ b1
^ a0
= root
A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:
cd t
./t6000-rev-list.sh
cd trash
cat actual-default-order
cat actual-merge-order
The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.
This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.
This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8d.
This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)
This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

That's the final one ("Yeah, sure, we believe you").
Anyway, at least the tests pass, which is not saying a lot, since they
don't end up testing all the new the things that the new merge world
order tries to do. But hopefully we're now at least not any worse off
than we were before the rewrite.
The updated git-tread-tree -m is more strict in that it wants to
have the original cache up to date. The initial part of t1000
(merge tests from hell) fails due to it.

Making the main loop look more like the one- and two-way cases
introduced a bug where "src" had been updated early, but later
users hadn't been adjusted to match.
Add a "-u" flag to update the tree as a result of a merge.
Right now this code is way too anal about things, and fails merges it
shouldn't, but let me fix up the different cases and this will allow for
much smoother merging even in the presense of dirty data in the working
tree.
We don't want to overwrite state that we haven't committed yet
when merging, so it's better to make git-read-tree fail than
end up with a merge tree that ends up not having the dirty changes.
Update git-resolve-script to fail cleanly when git-read-tree fails.
Make the --force-remove flag behave same as --add, --remove and
--replace. This means I can do
git-update-cache --force-remove -- file1.c file2.c
which is probably saner and also makes it easier to use in cg-rm.

It's not "rename from" and "rename to", it's "rename old" and "rename new".
Which is illogical and doesn't match the "copy from/to" case, but that's
life. Maybe Junio will fix it up one of these days.
This addresses a concern raised by Jason McMullan in the mailing
list discussion. After retrieving and storing a potentially
deltified object, pull logic tries to check and fulfil its delta
dependency. When the pull procedure is killed at this point,
however, there was no easy way to recover by re-running pull,
since next run would have found that we already have that
deltified object and happily reported success, without really
checking its delta dependency is satisfied.
This patch introduces --recover option to git-*-pull family
which causes them to re-validate dependency of deltified objects
we are fetching. A new test t5100-delta-pull.sh covers such a
failure mode.

This fixes three bugs in the -B heuristics.
- Although it was advertised that the initial break criteria
used was the same as what diffcore-rename uses, it was using
something different. Instead of using smaller of src and dst
size to compare with "edit" size, (insertion and deletion),
it was using larger of src and dst, unlike the rename/copy
detection logic. This caused the parameter to -B to mean
something different from the one to -M and -C. To compensate
for this change, the default break score is also changed to
match that of the default for rename/copy.
- The code would have crashed with division by zero when trying
to break an originally empty file.
- Contrary to what the comment said, the algorithm was breaking
small files, only to later merge them together.

We update the index only if the "--index" flag is given,
so you can actually use this as a strange kind of "patch"
program even for non-git usage. Not that you'd likely
want to, but it comes in handy for testing.
This _should_ more or less get everythign right, but as
usual I leave the testing to the usrs..
This applies the fragments in memory, but doesn't actually
write the results out to the files yet. But we now do all the
difficult parts, the rest is just basically writing the
results out and updating the index.
Right now it requires that the fragment offsets be exact,
and it doesn't actually apply the fragment yet, but it
does find where it goes and verify the data.
Next step: actually applying the fragment changes.
You can ask to print out "raw" format (full headers, full body),
"medium" format (author and date, full body) or "short" format
(author only, condensed body).
Use "git-rev-list --pretty=short HEAD | less -S" for an example.
Somebody finally came through - Jeff Garzik gets a gold
star for writing a shortlog script for git, so that I
can do nice release announcments again.
I added name translations from the current kernel history
(and git, for that matter). Hopefully it won't grow at
nearly the same rate the BK equivalent did, since 99% of
the time git records the full name already.
Usage: just do
git-rev-list --pretty HEAD ^LAST_HEAD | git-shortlog
or, in fact, use any of the other tools (git-diff-tree,
git-whatchanged etc) that use the default "pretty" commit format.
This makes git-rev-list use the same command line syntax to mark the
commits as git-rev-tree does, and instead of just allowing a start and
end commit, it allows an arbitrary list of "interesting" and "uninteresting"
commits.
For example, imagine that you had three branches (a, b and c) that you
are interested in, but you don't want to see stuff that already exists
in another persons three releases (x, y and z). You can do
git-rev-list a b c ^x ^y ^z
(order doesn't matter, btw - feel free to put the uninteresting ones
first or otherwise swithc them around), and it will show all the
commits that are reachable from a/b/c but not reachable from x/y/z.
The old syntax "git-rev-list start end" would not be written as
"git-rev-list start ^end", or "git-rev-list ^end start".
There's no limit to the number of heads you can specify (unlike
git-rev-tree, which can handle a maximum of 16 heads).
This patch makes an incompatible change to the protocol used by
rpull/rpush which will let it be extended in the future without
incompatible changes.

As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.
