As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:
- failures of system calls;
- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.
Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.
Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.
This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.

For some reason, MinGW's bash cannot reliably detect failure of the child
process if a negative value is passed to exit(). This fixes it by
truncating the exit code in all calls of exit().
This issue was worked around in run_builtin() of git.c (2488df84 builtin
run_command: do not exit with -1, 2007-11-15). This workaround is no longer
necessary and is reverted.

When creating a new argv array from a configured alias and the supplied
command line arguments, the new argv was allocated with one element too
many. Since the first element of the original argv array is skipped when
copying it to the new_argv, the number of elements that are allocated
should be reduced by one. 'count' is the number of elements that new_argv
contains, and *argcp is the number of elements in the original argv array.
So the total allocation (including the terminating NULL entry) for the
new_argv array should be:
count + (*argcp - 1) + 1
Also, the explicit assignment of the NULL terminating entry can be avoided
by just copying it over from the original argv array.

The following invocations did not work as expected on Windows:
git mv foo\bar dest
git mv foo\ dest
The first command was interpreted as
git mv foo/bar dest/foo/bar
because the Windows style directory separator was not obeyed when the
basename of 'foo\bar' was computed.
The second command failed because the Windows style directory separator was
not removed from the source directory, whereupon the lookup of the
directory in the index failed.
This fixes both issues by using is_dir_sep() and basename().

I do various statistics on git, and one of the things I look at is merges,
because they are often interesting events to count ("how many merges vs
how much 'real development'" kind of statistics). And you can do it with
some fairly straightforward scripting, ie
git rev-list --parents HEAD |
grep ' .* ' |
git diff-tree --always -s --pretty=oneline --stdin |
less -S
will do it.
But I finally got irritated with the fact that we can skip merges with
'--no-merges', but we can't do the trivial reverse operation.
So this just adds a '--merges' flag that _only_ shows merges. Now you can
do the above with just a
git log --merges --pretty=oneline
which is a lot simpler. It also means that we automatically get a lot of
statistics for free, eg
git shortlog -ns --merges
does exactly what you'd want it to do.

When combining "dumb client" and human-friendly access by using the

covers the entire request. Without a full match, a request for

For users pulling from machines with self compiled git installs,
in non-PATH locations, they can set the config option
remote.<name>.uploadpack to set the location of git-upload-pack.
When using 'git remote show <name>', the remote HEAD check
did not use the uploadpack configuration setting, and would
not use the configured program.
In builtin-remote.c, the config setting is already loaded
with the call to remote_get(), so this patch passes that remote
along to transport_get().

This enables git-svn.perl to read multiple 'branches' and 'tags' entries in
svn-remote config sections. The init and clone subcommands also support
multiple --branches and --tags arguments.
The branch (and tag) subcommand gets a new argument: --destination (or -d).
This argument is required if there are multiple branches (or tags) entries
configured for the remote Subversion repository. The argument's value
specifies which branch (or tag) path to use to create the branch (or tag).
The specified value must match the left side (without wildcards) of one of
the branches (or tags) refspecs in the svn-remote's config.

Add a command to unwind the effects of fetch by moving the rev_map
and refs/remotes/git-svn back to an old SVN revision. This allows
revisions to be re-fetched. Ideally SVN revs would be immutable,

of '--ignore-paths' can create situations where fetch cannot make

'git svn dcommit' takes an optional revision argument, but the meaning
of it was rather scary. It completely ignored the current state of
the HEAD, only looking at the revisions between SVN and $rev. If HEAD
was attached to $branch, the branch lost all commits $rev..$branch in
the process.
Considering that 'git svn dcommit HEAD^' has the intuitive meaning
"dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the
meaning of the revision argument. git-svn temporarily checks out $rev
for its work, meaning that
* if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as
part of the dcommit,
* if some other revision is specified, as in the example, all work
happens on a detached HEAD and no branch is affected.
