When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.
This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.
Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.
While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples
vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

In 618e613a70, 10 years ago, the default for pack depth used for
git-pack-objects and git-repack was changed from 10 to 50, while
leaving fast-import's default to 10.
There doesn't seem to be a reason besides oversight for the change not
having happened in fast-import as well.
Interestingly, fast-import uses pack.depth when it's set, and the
git-config manual says the default for pack.depth is 50. While the
git-fast-import manual does say the default depth is 10, the
inconsistency is also confusing.

With many incremental imports, small packs become highly
inefficient due to the need to readdir scan and load many
indices to locate even a single object. Frequent repacking and
consolidation may be prohibitively expensive in terms of disk
I/O, especially in large repositories where the initial packs
were aggressively optimized and marked with .keep files.
In those cases, users may be better served with loose objects
and relying on "git gc --auto".
This changes the default behavior of fast-import for small
imports found in test cases, so adjustments to t9300 were
necessary.

its cat-blob-fd interface.

fast-import: add a get-mark command
|
|
It is sometimes useful for importers to be able to read the SHA-1
corresponding to a mark that they have created via fast-import. For
example, they might want to embed the SHA-1 into the commit message of
a later commit. Or it might be useful for internal bookkeeping uses,
or for logging.
Add a "get-mark" command to "git fast-import" that allows the importer
to ask for the value of a mark that has been created earlier.

Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
literal backslash.

Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because
they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.
In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit. Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.

Email addresses in documentation are converted into mailto: hyperlinks
in the HTML output and footnotes in man pages. This isn't desirable for
cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid.
Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears
in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying:
1. jane@laptop
mailto:jane@laptop
Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to
prevent Asciidoc expanding them as inline macros.
In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it
matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

Our documentation was written for an ancient version of AsciiDoc,
making the source not very readable.
By Jeff King
* jk/doc-asciidoc-inline-literal:
docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
|
|
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

If fast-import's command pipe and the frontend's cat-blob/ls response
pipe are both filled, there can be a deadlock. Luckily all existing
frontends consume any pending cat-blob/ls responses completely before
writing the next command.
Document the requirements so future frontend authors and users can be
spared from the problem, too. It is not always easy to catch that
kind of bug by testing.
To set the scene, add some words of explanation to help the novice
understand that "cat-blob" and "ls" output are meant for consumption
by the frontend.

The documentation declares following identity format:
(<name> SP)? LT <email> GT
where name is any string without LF and LT characters.
But fast-import just accepts any string up to first GT
instead of checking the whole format, and moreover just
writes it as is to the commit object.
git-fsck checks for [^<\n]* <[^<>\n]*> format. Note that the
space is mandatory. And the space quirk is already handled via
extending the string to the left when needed.
Modify fast-import input identity format to a slightly stricter
one - deny LF, LT and GT in both <name> and <email>. And check
for it.
This is stricter then git-fsck as fsck accepts "Name> <email>"
currently, but soon fsck check will be adjusted likewise.

The "notemodify" fast-import command was introduced in commit a8dd2e7
(fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes, 2009-10-09)
The commit log has slightly different description than the added
documentation. The latter is somewhat confusing. "notemodify" is a
subcommand of "commit" command used to add a note for some commit.
Does this note annotate the commit produced by the "commit" command
or a commit given by it's committish parameter? Which notes tree
does it write notes to?
The exact meaning could be deduced with old description and some
notes machinery knowledge. But let's make it more obvious. This
command is used in a context like "commit refs/notes/test" to
add or rewrite an annotation for a committish parameter. So the
advised way to add notes in a fast-import stream is:
1) import some commits (optional)
2) prepare a "commit" to the notes tree:
2.1) choose notes ref, committer, log message, etc.
2.2) create annotations with "notemodify", where each can refer to
a commit being annotated via a branch name, import mark reference,
sha1 and other expressions specified in the Documentation.

Add a 'done' command that causes fast-import to stop reading from the
stream and exit.
If the new --done command line flag was passed on the command line
(or a "feature done" declaration included at the start of the stream),
make the 'done' command mandatory. So "git fast-import --done"'s
input format will be prefix-free, making errors easier to detect when
they show up as early termination at some convenient time of the
upstream of a pipe writing to fast-import.
Another possible application of the 'done' command would to be allow a
fast-import stream that is only a small part of a larger encapsulating
stream to be easily parsed, leaving the file offset after the "done\n"
so the other application can pick up from there. This patch does not
teach fast-import to do that --- fast-import still uses buffered input
(stdio).

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.
Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.
While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

Lazy fast-import frontend authors that want to rely on the backend to
keep track of the content of the imported trees _almost_ have what
they need in the 'cat-blob' command (v1.7.4-rc0~30^2~3, 2010-11-28).
But it is not quite enough, since
(1) cat-blob can be used to retrieve the content of files, but
not their mode, and
(2) using cat-blob requires the frontend to keep track of a name
(mark number or object id) for each blob to be retrieved
Introduce an 'ls' command to complement cat-blob and take care of the
remaining needs. The 'ls' command finds what is at a given path
within a given tree-ish (tag, commit, or tree):
'ls' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF
or in fast-import's active commit:
'ls' SP <path> LF
The response is a single line sent through the cat-blob channel,
imitating ls-tree output. So for example:
FE> ls :1 Documentation
gfi> 040000 tree 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 Documentation
FE> ls 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 git-fast-import.txt
gfi> 100644 blob 4f92954396e3f0f97e75b6838a5635b583708870 git-fast-import.txt
FE> ls :1 RelNotes
gfi> 120000 blob b942e499449d97aeb50c73ca2bdc1c6e6d528743 RelNotes
FE> cat-blob b942e499449d97aeb50c73ca2bdc1c6e6d528743
gfi> b942e499449d97aeb50c73ca2bdc1c6e6d528743 blob 32
gfi> Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.4.txt
The most interesting parts of the reply are the first word, which is
a 6-digit octal mode (regular file, executable, symlink, directory,
or submodule), and the part from the second space to the tab, which is
a <dataref> that can be used in later cat-blob, ls, and filemodify (M)
commands to refer to the content (blob, tree, or commit) at that path.
If there is nothing there, the response is "missing some/path".
The intent is for this command to be used to read files from the
active commit, so a frontend can apply patches to them, and to copy
files and directories from previous revisions.
For example, proposed updates to svn-fe use this command in place of
its internal representation of the repository directory structure.
This simplifies the frontend a great deal and means support for
resuming an import in a separate fast-import run (i.e., incremental
import) is basically free.

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.
When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.
Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like
This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.
So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored. Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.
Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works. Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.
