The git gui project seems to be still in early stages, but at a point
where it's worth mentioning as an alternative way of creating commits.
One feature of interest is the ability to manipulate individual diff
hunks. However, people have found that feature not to be easily
discoverable from the user-interface. Pending some ui improvements, a
parenthetical hint here may help.
(Thanks to Steffen Prohask and Junio Hamano for suggesting the
language.)

Sven originally raised this issue:
If you have a submodule checked out and you go back (or
forward) to a revision of the supermodule that contains a
different revision of the submodule and then switch to
another revision, it will complain that the submodule is not
uptodate, because git simply didn't update the submodule in
the first move.
The current policy is to consider it is perfectly normal that
checked-out submodule is out-of-sync wrt the supermodule index.
At least until we introduce a superproject repository
configuration option that says "in this repository, I do care
about this submodule and at any time I move around in the
superproject, recursively check out the submodule to match", it
is a reasonable policy, as we currently do not recursively
checkout the submodules at all. The most extreme case of this
policy is that the superproject index knows about the submodule
but the subdirectory does not even have to be checked out.
The function verify_uptodate(), called during the two-way merge
aka branch switching, is about "make sure the filesystem entity
that corresponds to this cache entry is up to date, lest we lose
the local modifications". As we explicitly allow submodule
checkout to drift from the supermodule index entry, the check
should say "Ok, for submodules, not matching is the norm" for
now.
Later when we have the ability to mark "I care about this
submodule to be always in sync with the superproject" (thereby
implementing automatic recursive checkout and perhaps diff,
among other things), we should check if the submodule in
question is marked as such and perform the current test.

If somebody used to advertise his repository that physically
resides at /pub/lic.git/ as:
git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/
but now wants to use --base-path to allow:
git://git.example.com/lic.git/
she can start git-daemon with --base-path option, like this:
git-daemon --base-path=/pub --export-all
During the transition, however, she would also want to allow
older URL as well. One natural way to achieve that is to create
a symlink:
ln -s /pub /pub/pub
so that a request to git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/ is first
translated by --base-path to a request to /pub/pub/lic.git/
which goes to /pub/lic.git, thanks to the symlink.
So far so good.
However, gitweb chokes if there is such a symlink (File::Find
barfs with "/pub/pub is a recursive symbolic link"). Make the
code ignore such a symlink.

This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the
local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share
files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op. A new
option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy
of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal
"pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer
overhead. The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s
is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly
introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as
network" cloning).
* With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via
cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and
also risks corrupted recipient repository if an
alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving
deltas. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you
have a good back-up.
* same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage
of the source repository. It still risks corrupted recipient
repository due to hardware failure. As long as the recipient
is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up.
* The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source
repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient
would be, too. Also it is very cheap. You do not get any
back-up benefit, though.
None of the method is resilient against the source repository
corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison. Then
the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily
if you value the back-up benefit or not. If you want to use the
cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone
with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone,
recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as
you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so
paranoid anyway.
Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is
probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of
little practical value. We default to hardlinked clone for
everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to
make a back-up.

We might make it something like: "if you use an url, we don't default to
local", so the difference would be that
git clone file:///directory/to/repo
would work the way it does now, but
git clone /directory/to/repo
would default to "-l" behaviour. That kind of would make sense (and should
be easy to implement.
This adds support for "file://" URL to underlying connect
codepath to make it happen.

The previous code only allowed specifying a single executable rather
than a complete command like "emacsclient --alternate-editor vi" in
those variables. Since VISUAL/EDITOR appear to be traditionally
passed to a shell for interpretation (as corroborated with "less",
"mail" and "mailx", while the really ancient "more" indeed allows only
an executable name), the shell function git_editor has been amended
appropriately.
"eval" is employed to have quotes and similar interpreted _after_
expansion, so that specifying
EDITOR='"/home/dak/My Commands/notepad.exe"'
can be used for actually using commands with blanks.
Instead of passing just the first argument of git_editor on, we pass
all of them (so that +lineno might be employed at a later point of
time, or so that multiple files may be edited when appropriate).
Strictly speaking, there is a change in behavior: when
git config core.editor
returns a valid but empty string, the fallbacks are still searched.
This is more consistent, and the old code was problematic with regard
to multiple blanks. Putting in additional quotes might have worked,
but quotes inside of command substitution inside of quotes is nasty
enough to not reliably work the same across "Bourne shells".

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.

I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of

since now all old paths will fail miserably.
So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon
try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up.
With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of
