In 1.7.9 era, we taught "git rebase" about the raw timestamp format

It was a bit hard to learn how <rev>^@, <rev>^! and various other
forms of range specifiers are used, because they were discussed
mostly in the prose part of the documentation, unlike various forms
of extended SHA-1 expressions that are listed in an enumerated list.
Also add a few more examples showing use of <rev>, <rev>..<rev> and
<rev>^! forms, stolen from a patch by Max Horn.

We do not document COMMIT_EDITMSG at all, but users may want
to know about it for two reasons:
1. They may want to tell their editor to configure itself
for formatting a commit message.
2. If a commit is aborted by an error, the user may want
to recover the commit message they typed.
Let's put a note in git-commit(1).

This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync
between the implementation and the documentation.
In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools
with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in
the documentation. We do not want to have a complete list of valid
tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things
the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help
for a complete list.

The advise() function takes a variable number of arguments
and converts them into a va_list object to pass to strbuf
for handling. However, we accidentally called strbuf_addf
(that takes a variable number of arguments) instead of
strbuf_vaddf (that takes a va_list).
This bug dates back to v1.7.8.1-1-g23cb5bf, but we never
noticed because none of the current callers passes a string
with a format specifier in it. And the compiler did not
notice because the format string is not available at
compile time.

"git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the
comparison machinery was utterly broken when the difference

incorrectly read from the standard input.

There are three ways to specify an external diff command:
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the environment, diff.external in the
config, or a "diff" gitattribute. The current order of
precedence is:
1. gitattribute
2. GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF
3. diff.external
Usually our rule is that environment variables should take
precedence over on-disk config (i.e., option 2 should come
before option 1). However, this situation is trickier than
some, because option 1 is more specific to the individual
file than option 2 (which affects all files), so it might be
preferable. So the current behavior can be seen as
implementing "do the specific thing if we can, but fall back
to this general thing".
This is probably not what we would do if we were writing git
from scratch, but it has been this way for several years,
and is not worth changing. So let's at least document that
this is the way it's supposed to work with a test.
While we're there, let's also make sure that diff.external
(which was not previously tested at all) works by running it
through the same tests as GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF.

Upon seeing a type-change filepair, "diff --no-ext-diff" does not
show the usual "deletion followed by addition" split patch and does
not run the external diff driver either.
This is because the logic to disable external diff was placed at a
wrong level in the callchain. run_diff_cmd() decides to show the
split patch only when external diff driver is not configured or
specified via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment, but this is done before
checking if --no-ext-diff was given. To make things worse,
run_diff_cmd() checks --no-ext-diff and disables the output for such
a filepair completely, as the callchain below it (e.g. builtin_diff)
does not want to handle typechange filepairs.

commit-tree: resurrect command line parsing updates

79a9312 (commit-tree: update the command line parsing, 2011-11-09)
updated the command line parser to understand the usual "flags first
and then non-flag arguments" order, in addition to the original and
a bit unusual "tree comes first and then zero or more -p <parent>".
Unfortunately, ba3c69a (commit: teach --gpg-sign option, 2011-10-05)
broke it by mistake. Resurrect it, and protect the feature with a
test from future breakages.

If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know
where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can
do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat"
to see what it tried to change, etc.) The input to "am" may have
contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME
encoded, and knowing what the user fed to "am" does not help very
much for this purpose.
Also introduce advice.amworkdir configuration to allow people who
learned where to look to squelch this message.

Since 69c3051 (submodules: refactor computation of relative gitdir path)
cloning a submodule recursively fails for nested submodules when a
symbolic link is part of the path to the work tree of the superproject.
This happens when module_clone() tries to find the relative paths between
the work tree and the git dir. When a symbolic link in current $PWD points
to a directory that is at a different level, then determining the number
of "../" needed to traverse to the superproject's work tree leads to a
wrong result.
As there is no portable way to say "pwd -P", use cd_to_toplevel to remove
the link from $PWD, which fixes this problem.
A test for this issue has been added to t7406.

When "git log" gets "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" together with
"--first-parent", the combination of these options makes the
simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that haven't been

both are in effect to work around the issue.
