The description which files git-config uses and how the various
command line options and environment variables affect its
behaviour was incomplete, outdated and confusing.

Make hexval_table[] "const". Also make sure that the accessor
function hexval() does not access the table with out-of-range
values by declaring its parameter "unsigned char", instead of
"unsigned int".
With this, gcc can just generate:
movzbl (%rdi), %eax
movsbl hexval_table(%rax),%edx
movzbl 1(%rdi), %eax
movsbl hexval_table(%rax),%eax
sall $4, %edx
orl %eax, %edx
for the code to generate a byte from two hex characters.

There's no point in calculating an MD5 if we're not going to use
it. We'll also avoid the possibility of there being a bug in the
Perl MD5 library not being able to handle zero-sized files.
This is a followup to 20b3d206acbbb042c7ad5f42d36ff8d036a538c5,
which allows us to track repositories that do not provide MD5
checksums.

This fixes the same issue git-am had, which was fixed by Jeff

Under some implementations of echo (such as that provided by
dash), backslash escapes are recognized without any other
options. This means that echo-ing user-supplied strings may
cause any backslash sequences in them to be converted. Using
printf resolves the ambiguity.
This bug can be seen when using git-am to apply a patch
whose subject contains the character sequence "\n"; the
characters are converted to a literal newline. Noticed by
Szekeres Istvan.

In git.git repository, "git-name-rev v1.3.0~158" cannot name the
rev, while adjacent revs can be named.
This was because it gives up traversal from the tips of existing
refs as soon as it sees a commit that has older commit timestamp
than what is being named. This is usually a good heuristics,
but v1.3.0~158 has a slightly older commit timestamp than
v1.3.0~157 (i.e. it's child), as these two were made in a
separate repostiory (in fact, in a different continent).
This adds a hardcoded slop value (1 day) to the cut-off
heuristics to work this kind of problem around. The current
algorithm essentially runs around from the available tips down
to ancient commits and names every single rev available that are
newer than cut-off date, so a single day slop would not add that
much overhead in repositories with long enough history where the
performance of name-rev matters.
I think the algorithm could be made a bit smarter by deepening
the graph on demand as a new commit is asked to be named (this
would require rewriting of name_rev() function not to recurse
itself but use a traversal list like revision.c traverser does),
but that would be a separate issue.

I didn't have a chance to test the off-by-default minimize-url
stuff enough before, but it's quite broken for people passing
the --trunk/-T, --tags/-t, --branches/-b switches to "init" or
"clone" commands.
Additionally, follow-parent functionality seems broken when we're
not connected to the root of the repository.
Default behavior for "traditional" git-svn users who only track
one directory (without needing follow-parent) should be
reasonable, as those users started using things before
minimize-url functionality existed.
Behavior for users more used to the git-svnimport-like command
line will also benefit from a more-flexible command-line than
svnimport given the assumption they're working with
non-restrictive read permissions on the repository.
I hope to properly fix these bugs when I get a chance to in the
next week or so, but I would like to get this stopgap measure of
reverting to the old behavior as soon as possible.

When sorting directory names by depth (slash ("/") count) and
closing the deepest directories first (as the protocol
requires), we failed to put the root baton (with an empty string
as its key "") after top-level directories (which did not have
any slashes).
This resulted in svnserve being in a situation it couldn't
handle and caused a segmentation fault on the remote server.
This bug did not affect users of DAV and filesystem repositories.

The todo list at the end of the user manual says that something must be
said about .gitignore. Also, there seems to be a lack of documentation
on how to choose between the various types of ignore files (.gitignore
vs. .git/info/exclude, etc.).
This patch adds a section on ignoring files which try to introduce how
to tell git about ignored files, and how the different strategies
complement eachother.
The syntax of exclude patterns is explained in a simplified manner, with
a reference to git-ls-files(1) which already contains a more thorough
explanation.

The embarassing history of this tutorial is that I started it without
really understanding the index well, so I avoided mentioning it.
And we all got the idea that "index" was a word to avoid using around
newbies, but it was reluctantly mentioned that *something* had to be
said. The result is a little awkward: the discussion of the index never
actually uses that word, and isn't well-integrated into the surrounding
material.
Let's just go ahead and use the word "index" from the very start, and
try to demonstrate its use with a minimum of lecturing.
Also, remove discussion of using git-commit with explicit filenames.
We're already a bit slow here to get people to their first commit, and
I'm not convinced this is really so important.

Helping a couple people set up public repos recently, I wanted to point
them at this piece of the user manual, but found it wasn't as helpful as
it could be:
- It starts with a big explanation of why you'd want a public
repository, not necessary in their case since they already knew
why they wanted that. So, separate that out.
- It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http
export information first. Fix that.
Also group all the public repo subsections into a single section, and do
some miscellaneous related editing.

Move howto/using-topic-branches into the user manual as an example for
the "sharing development" chapter. While we're at it, remove some
discussion that's covered in earlier chapters, modernize somewhat (use
separate-heads setup, remotes, replace "whatchanged" by "log", etc.),
and replace syntax we'd need to explain by syntax we've already covered
(e.g. old..new instead of new ^old).
The result may not really describe what Tony Luck does any more.... Hope
that's not annoying.

There seems to be a perception that the howto's are bit-rotting a
little. The manual might be a more visible location for some of them,
and make-dist.txt seems like a good candidate to include as an example
in the manual.

the example a bit.

These two howto's have both been copied into the manual. I'd rather not

Revise and expand some of the definitions in the glossary, based in part
on a recent thread started by a user looking for help with some of the
jargon. I've borrowed some of the language from Linus's email on that
thread. (I'm assuming standing permission to plagiarize Linus's
email....)
Also start making a few changes to mitigate the appearance of
"circularity" mentioned in that thread:
- feel free to use somewhat longer definitions and to explain
some things more than once instead of relying purely on
cross-references
- don't use cross-references when they're redundant: eliminate
self-references and repeated references to the same entry.
