The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.
For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status". Now it works.
Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?
IOW it is allowed to call
$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla
when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.
Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.
The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:
--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.
In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

Now you can do the following to create a repository which
has a separate working tree:
/tmp/foo$ export GIT_DIR=/tmp/bar
/tmp/foo$ git --work-tree . init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/bar/
/tmp/foo$ git config core.worktree
/tmp/foo

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))
This was done by using this script in px.perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;
}
if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|;
}
and running:
$ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

This removes the old is_bare_git_dir(const char *) to ask if a
directory, if it is a GIT_DIR, is a bare repository, and
replaces it with is_bare_repository(void *). The function looks
at core.bare configuration variable if exists but uses the old
heuristics: if it is ".git" or ends with "/.git", then it does
not look like a bare repository, otherwise it does.

Many users have noticed that core.filemode doesn't appear to be
automatically set right on Cygwin when using a repository stored
on NTFS. The issue is that Cygwin and NTFS correctly supports
the executable mode bit, and Git properly detected that, but most
native Windows applications tend to create files such that Cygwin
sees the executable bit set when it probably shouldn't be.
This is especially bad if the user's favorite editor deletes the
file then recreates it whenever they save (vs. just overwriting)
as now a file that was created with mode 0644 by checkout-index
appears to have mode 0755.
So we introduce NO_TRUSTABLE_FILEMODE, settable at compile time.
Setting this option forces core.filemode to false, even if the
detection code would have returned true. This option should be
enabled by default on Cygwin.

New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).
So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:
[core]
logAllRefUpdates = false
in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.
We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.
Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are
likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing
they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects'
lost+found features.

Back in the old days of Git when people messed around with their
GIT_DIR environment variable more often it was nice to know whether
or not git-init-db created a .git directory or used GIT_DIR.
As most users at that time were rather technical UNIXy folk the
message "defaulting to local storage area" made sense to some and
seemed reasonable.
But it doesn't really convey any meaning to the new Git user,
as they don't know what a 'local storage area is' nor do they
know enough about Git to care. It also really doesn't tell the
experienced Git user a whole lot about the command they just ran,
especially if they might be reinitializing an existing repository
(e.g. to update hooks).
So now we print out what we did ("Initialized empty" or
"Reinitialized existing"), what type of repository ("" or "shared"),
and what location the repository will be in ("$GIT_DIR").

The old code used to totally mix up the notion of a ref-name and the path
that that ref was associated with. That was not only horribly ugly (a
number of users got the path, and then wanted to try to turn it back into
a ref-name again), but it fundamnetally doesn't work at all once we do any
setup where a ref doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with a particular
pathname.
This fixes things up so that we use the ref-name throughout, and only
turn it into a pathname once we actually look it up in the filesystem.
That makes a lot of things much clearer and more straightforward.

This enhances core.sharedrepository to have additionally
specify that read and exec permissions to be given to others as
well. It is useful when serving a repository via gitweb and
git-daemon that runs as a user outside the project group.
The configuration item can take the following values:
[core]
sharedrepository ; the same as "group"
sharedrepository = true ; ditto
sharedrepository = 1 ; ditto
sharedrepository = group ; allow rwx to group
sharedrepository = all ; allow rwx to group, allow rx to other
sharedrepository = umask ; not shared - use umask
It also extends "git init-db" to take "--shared=all" and friends
from the command line.

There were a few calls to adjust_shared_perm() that were
missing:
- init-db creates refs, refs/heads, and refs/tags before
reading from templates that could specify sharedrepository in
the config file;
- updating config file created it under user's umask without
adjusting;
- updating refs created it under user's umask without
adjusting;
- switching branches created .git/HEAD under user's umask
without adjusting.
This moves adjust_shared_perm() from sha1_file.c to path.c,
since a few SIMPLE_PROGRAM need to call repository configuration
functions which in turn need to call adjust_shared_perm().
sha1_file.c needs to link with SHA1 computation library which
is usually not linked to SIMPLE_PROGRAM.
