With this option, dangling objects are not only reported, but also
written to .git/lost-found/commit/ or .git/lost-found/other/. This
option implies '--full' and '--no-reflogs'.
'git fsck --lost-found' is meant as a replacement for git-lost-found.

Asciidoc treats {foo} as an attribute to be substituted; if
'foo' doesn't exist as an attribute, then the entire line
gets dropped. When the literal {foo} is desired, \{foo} is
required.
The exceptions to this rule are:
- inside literal blocks
- if the 'foo' contains non-alphanumeric characters (e.g.,
{foo|bar} is assumed not to be an attribute)

To make a submodule effectively usable, the path and
a URL where the submodule can be cloned need to be stored
in .gitmodules. This subcommand takes care of setting
this information after cloning the new submodule.
Only the index is updated, so, if needed, the user may still
change the URL or switch to a different branch of the submodule
before committing.

This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch
whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes.
Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added
benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental
git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at
the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the
output to a downstream program.
This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or
if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0". This latter can
speed up a command such as:
GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l
a tiny amount.

This change makes git-send-email's behavior easier to modify by adding config
equivalents for two more of git-send-email's flags.
The mapping of flag to config setting is:
--[no-]supress-from => sendemail.suppressfrom
--[no-]signed-off-cc => sendemail.signedoffcc
It renames the --threaded option to --thread/--no-thread; the
config variable is also called sendemail.thread.

The --threaded option controls whether the In-Reply-To header will be set on
any emails sent. The current behavior is to always set this header, so this
option is most useful in its negated form, --no-threaded. This behavior can
also be controlled through the 'sendemail.threaded' config setting.

The option "-p" (or long "--preserve-merges") makes it possible to
rebase side branches including merges, without straightening the
history.
Example:
X
\
A---M---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
When the current HEAD is "B", "git rebase -i -p --onto Q O" will yield
X
\
---o---O---P---Q---A'---M'---B'
Note that this will
- _not_ touch X [*1*], it does
- _not_ work without the --interactive flag [*2*], it does
- _not_ guess the type of the merge, but blindly uses recursive or
whatever strategy you provided with "-s <strategy>" for all merges it
has to redo, and it does
- _not_ make use of the original merge commit via git-rerere.
*1*: only commits which reach a merge base between <upstream> and HEAD
are reapplied. The others are kept as-are.
*2*: git-rebase without --interactive is inherently patch based (at
least at the moment), and therefore merges cannot be preserved.

Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies
the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them?
With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches,
so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches.
Such a list will typically look like this:
pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
...
By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend
that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash"
you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that.
It is derived from the script sent to the list in
<Pine.LNX.4.63.0702252156190.22628@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>

We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using
C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not
handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother).
The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this
purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote
and backslash.
However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit
range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because
we were being cautious.
This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and
core.quotepath configuration variable to control it. When set
to false, it does not quote bytes in high 8-bit range anymore
but passes them intact.
The variable defaults to "true" to retain the traditional
behaviour for now.

Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a
widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue
is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from
within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure
how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how
that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation.
Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that
the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up
two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer
enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists,
and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their
own documentation system available from within a running git-gui.
But not today.

It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a
long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored
by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is
a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters.
The double colon at the end of definition list term needs
to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this
minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with
compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results.

Asciidoc treats a line starting with a period followed by a title as a
blocktitle element. My introduction of gitmodules(5) unfortunatly broke
the documentation build process due to this processing, since it made
asciidoc generate an illegal (empty) synopsis element. Removing the leading
period fixes the problem and also makes gitmodules(5) use the same synopsis
notation as gitattributes(5).
