To get the current HEAD when we start bisecting using for example
"git bisect start", we first try "git symbolic-ref HEAD" to get a
nice name, and if it fails, we fall back to "git rev-parse
--verify HEAD".
The problem is that when "git symbolic-ref HEAD" fails, it
displays "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref", so it looks like "git
bisect start" failed and does not accept detached HEAD, even if
in fact it worked fine.
This patch adds "-q" option to the "git symbolic-ref" call to
get rid of the misleading error message.

For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be
specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to
mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but
the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access
does not apply.
Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was
unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc.
Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that
the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d
(setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked
out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

It seems that "git bisect good" and "git bisect skip" have never
properly checked arguments that have been passed to them. As soon
as one of them can be parsed as a SHA1, no error or warning would
be given.
This is because 'git rev-parse --revs-only --no-flags "$@"' always
"exit 0" and outputs all the SHA1 it can found from parsing "$@".
This patch fix this by using, for each "bisect good" argument, the
same logic as for the "bisect bad" argument.
While at it, this patch teaches "bisect bad" to give a meaningfull
error message when it is passed more than one argument.
Note that if "git bisect good" or "git bisect skip" is given some
proper revs and then something that is not a proper rev, then the
first proper revs will still have been marked as "good" or "skip".

Ulrik Sverdrup noticed that git-archive doesn't correctly apply the attribute
export-subst when the option --prefix is given, too.
When it checked if a file has the attribute turned on, git-archive would try
to look up the full path -- including the prefix -- in .gitattributes. That's
wrong, as the prefix doesn't need to have any relation to any existing
directories, tracked or not.
This patch makes git-archive ignore the prefix when looking up if value of the

An earlier commit 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for
--unidiff=0 patches, 2006-09-17) made match_beginning and match_end
computed incorrectly. If a hunk inserts at the beginning, old position
recorded at the hunk is line 0, and if a hunk changes at the beginning, it
is line 1. The new test added to t4104 exposes that the old code did not
insist on matching at the beginning for a patch to add a line to an empty
file.
An even older 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning.,
2006-05-24) was equally wrong in that it tried to take hints from the
number of leading context lines, to decide if the hunk must match at the
beginning, but we can just look at the line number in the hunk to decide.

This changes the pattern matching code to not store the required final

pattern but doesn't quite meet the requirements will be found to be
invalid as a fallback non-pattern.

When rebasing changes that contain issues that the pre-commit hook flags
as problematic, the rebase cannot be continued. However, rebase is about
transplanting commits that are already made with as little distortion as
possible, and pre-commit check should not interfere.
Earlier, c5b09fe (Avoid update hook during git-rebase --interactive,
2007-12-19) fixed "rebase -i", but "rebase -m" shared the same issue.

Earlier, the callchain from pretty_print_commit() down to pp_title_line()
had an unwarranted assumption that the presense of "after_subject"
parameter, means the caller has already output MIME headers for
attachments. The parameter's primary purpose is to give extra header
lines the caller wants to place after pp_title_line() generates the
"Subject: " line.
This assumption does not hold when the user used the format.header
configuration variable to pass extra headers, and caused a message with
non-ASCII character to lack proper MIME headers (e.g. 8-bit CTE header).
The earlier logic also failed to suppress duplicated MIME headers when
"format-patch -s --attach" is asked for and the signer's name demanded
8-bit clean transport.
This patch fixes the logic by introducing a separate need_8bit_cte
parameter passed down the callchain. This can have one of these values:
-1 : we've already done MIME crap and we do not want to add extra header
to say this is 8bit in pp_title_line();
0 : we haven't done MIME and we have not seen anything that is 8bit yet;
1 : we haven't done MIME and we have seen something that is 8bit;
pp_title_line() must add MIME header.
It adds two tests by Jeff King who independently diagnosed this issue.

I think it would make more sense for rev~ to have the same guarantees that
rev^ has, namely to always return a commit. I would also suggest that not
giving a number would have the same effect of defaulting to 1, not 0.
Right now it's a bit illogical, but at least it's an _undocumented_
illogical behaviour.
This patch makes '^' and '~' act the same for the default count (i.e. both
default to 1), and also have the same behaviour for a count of zero.
Before (no discernible pattern):
[torvalds@woody git]$ git rev-parse v1.5.1 v1.5.1^0 v1.5.1~0 v1.5.1^ v1.5.1~

Prior to commit 8320199 (Rewrite builtin-fetch option parsing to use
parse_options().), we understood '-n' as a short option to mean "don't
fetch tags from the remote". This patch reinstates behaviour similar,
but not identical to the pre commit 8320199 times.
Back then, -n always overrode --tags, so if both --tags and -n was
given on command-line, no tags were fetched regardless of argument
ordering. Now we use a "last entry wins" strategy, so '-n --tags'
means "fetch tags".
Since it's patently absurd to say both --tags and --no-tags, this
shouldn't matter in practice.

URLs generated by href(..., -replay=>1) (which includes 'next page'
links and alternate view links) didn't set project info correctly
when current page URL is in pathinfo form.
This resulted in broken links such like:
http://www.example.com/w/ARRAY(0x85a5318)?a=shortlog;pg=1
if the 'pathinfo' feature was used, or
http://www.example.com/w/?a=shortlog;pg=1
if it wasn't, instead of correct:
http://www.example.com/w/project.git?a=shortlog;pg=1
This was caused by the fact that href() always replays params in the
arrayref form, were they multivalued or singlevalued, and the code
dealing with 'pathinfo' feature couldn't deal with $params{'project'}
being arrayref.
Setting $params{'project'} is moved before replaying params; this
ensures that 'project' parameter is processed correctly.
