Introducing yourself to git early would be a good idea; otherwise
the user may not find the mistake until much later when "git log"
is learned.
Teaching "commit -a" without saying that it is a shortcut for
listing the paths to commit leaves the user puzzled. Teach the
form with explicit paths first.

We used to get the case that more than two paths came from the
same commit wrong when computing the output width and deciding
to turn on --show-name option automatically. When we find that
lines that came from a path that is different from what we
started digging from, we should always turn --show-name on, and
we should count the name length for all files involved.

In xemit.c:xdl_emit_diff() a buffer for showing the function name as
commentary is allocated; this buffer was 40 characters. This is a bit
small; particularly for C++ function names where there is often an
identical prefix (like void LongNamespace::LongClassName) on multiple
functions, which makes the context the same everywhere. In other words
the context is useless. This patch increases that buffer to 80
characters - which may still not be enough, but is better

We can't rely on sizeof(struct zip_*) returning the sum of
all struct members. At least on ARM padding is added at the
end, as Gerrit Pape reported. This fixes the problem but
still lets the compiler do the summing by introducing
explicit padding at the end of the structs and then taking
its offset as the combined size of the preceding members.
As Junio correctly notes, the _end[] marker array's size
must be greater than zero for compatibility with compilers
other than gcc. The space wasted by the markers can safely
be neglected because we only have one instance of each
struct, i.e. in sum 3 wasted bytes on i386, and 0 on ARM. :)
We still rely on the compiler to not add padding between the
struct members, but that's reasonable given that all of them
are unsigned char arrays.

Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the
--pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs.
This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt
enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format
of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats.
There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what
goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to
the 'raw' format.

An earlier commit b37a562a added a check to see if the ref
points at a valid object (as a part of 'negative ref' support
which we currently do not use), but did so only while iterating
over both packed and loose refs, and forgot to apply the same
check while iterating over the remaining ones.
We might want to replace the "if null then omit it" check with
"eh --- what business does a 0{40} value have here?" complaint
later since we currently do not use negative refs, but that is
a separate issue.

Ok, this is a _really_ stupid case, and I don't think it matters, but hey,
we should never SIGSEGV.
Steps to reproduce:
mkdir duh
cd duh
git init-db
git-fmt-merge-msg < /dev/null
will cause a SIGSEGV in cmd_fmt_merge_msg(), because we're doing a
strncmp() with a NULL current_branch.
And yeah, it's an insane schenario, and no, it doesn't really matter. The
only reason I noticed was that a broken version of my "git pull" into an
empty directory would cause this.
This silly patch just replaces the SIGSEGV with a controlled exit with an
error message.

We used to complain that we cannot merge anything we fetched
with a local branch that does not exist yet. Just treat the
case as a natural extension of fast forwarding and make the
local branch'es tip point at the same commit we just fetched.
After all an empty repository without an initial commit is an
ancestor of any commit.

Although I converted upstream coreutils to git last month, I just
reconverted coreutils once again, as a test, and ended up with a
git repository of about 130MB (contrast with my packed git repo of
size 52MB). That was because there were a lot of commits (but < 1024)
after the final automatic "git-repack -a -d".
Running a final
git-repack -a -d && git-prune-packed
cut the final repository size down to the expected size.
So this looks like an easy way to improve git-cvsimport.
Just run "git repack ..." at the end if there's more than
some reasonable amount of not-packed data.
My choice of 1MB is a little arbitrarily. I wouldn't mind missing
the minimal repo size by 1MB. At the other end of the spectrum,
it's probably not worthwhile to pack everything when the total
repository size is less than 1MB.
Here's the patch:
