For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.
For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.
--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges. Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different). This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly. Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

Linus and Junio explained issues that are involved in reverting a merge
and how to continue working with a branch that was updated since such a
revert on the mailing list. This is to help new people who did not see
these messages.

Sometimes it is desirable to have non-fast-forward branches in a
shared repository. A typical example of that is the 'pu' branch.
This patch extends the format of allowed-users and allow-groups
files by using the '+' sign at the beginning as the mark that
non-fast-forward pushes are permitted to the branch.

The update-hook-example used 'test -f' to check the tag present, which
does not work if the checked reference is packed. This check has been
changed to use 'git rev-parse $tag' instead.

I managed to set up a Git repository on a preconfigured WebDAV server,
and using HTTPS, without installing Git on it or changing the server
configuration. This works through a proxy too. This patch reflects
this (it previously stated that Git was _necessary_ on the server,
which isn't true). Also give a few hints to troubleshoting.

The example provided with the update-hook-example does not work on
either bash 2.05b.0(1)-release nor 3.1.17(1)-release. The matcher did
not match the lines that it advertised to match, such as:
refs/heads/bw/ linus
refs/heads/tmp/* *
In POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions, the star (*), is not an wildcard
meaning "match everything", it matches 0 or more matches of the atom
preceding it.
So to match "refs/heads/bw/topic-branch", the matcher should be written
as "refs/heads/bw/.*" to match "refs/heads/bw/" and everything after it.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

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.
For now, incorporate much of it verbatim. Later we may want to update
the example a bit.

These two howto's have both been copied into the manual. I'd rather not
maintain both versions if possible, and I think the user-manual will be
more visible than the howto directory. (Though I wouldn't mind some
duplication if people really like having them here.)

While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git

This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the
branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out.
Also we show '-' for merge commits.
When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it
is easier to see which one is the current branch this way.

The branch policy script I outlined was improved and polished by
Carl and posted on the list twice since then. It is a shame not
to pick it up, so replace the original outline in
howto/update-hook-example.txt with the latest from Carl.

only SSH access to a shared repository host in the tutorial.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

Various updates and cleanups for my howto on using branches in GIT
as a Linux subsystem maintainer. Three categories of changes:
1) Updates for new features in GIT 0.99.5
2) Changes to use "git fetch" rather than "git pull" to update
local linus branch.
3) Cleanups suggested by Len Brown

I would eventually like to move this to become a part of the tutorial,
but anyway, this was an excellent post that describes how topic
