The scripts taken from Tony Luck's howto assume all refs can be found
under .git/refs, but this is not necessarily true, especially since
git-gc runs git-pack-refs.
Also add a note warning of this in the chapter that introduces refs, and
fix the same incorrect assumption in one other spot.

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.

The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.
So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and
a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's
unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long
time, as some people may still depend on finding it there. But I think
we'll want to do this some day anyway.

The descriptions of the various object types should all be a subsection
of the "Object Database" section.
I cribbed most of this chapter from the README (now core-intro.txt and
git(7)), because there's stuff in there people need to know and I was
too lazy to rewrite it. The audience isn't quite right, though--the
chapter is a mixture of user- and developer- level documentation that
isn't as appropriate now as it was originally.
So, reserve this chapter for stuff users need to know, and move the
source code introduction into a new "git hacking" chapter where we'll
also move any hacker-only technical details.

Bram Schoenmakers noticed that git-config document was formatted
incorrectly. Depending on the version of AsciiDoc and docbook
toolchain, it is sometimes taken as a numbered example by AsciiDoc,
some other times passed intact to roff format to confuse "man".
Since we refer to the repository metadata directory as $GIT_DIR
elsewhere, work it around by using that symbolic name.

Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works
when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused
when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create
the branch foo.
This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/
in front of the desired branch name to create a branch.

HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out
that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not
realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it.
David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new
RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try.

The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.
This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.
By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.
The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits
(such as temporary commits). It does _not_ undo the changeset
corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision. IOW
no tree object is changed by this.
If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all
intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can
now do this with
git filter-branch --commit-filter '
if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null;
then
skip_commit "$@";
else
git commit-tree "$@";
fi' newbranch

Move the convenience functions to the top of git-filter-branch.sh, and

By sourcing git-filter-branch with that variable set automatically, all

Some time ago, filter-branch's syntax changed so that more than one
ref can be rewritten at the same time. This involved the removal of
the ref name for the result; instead, the refs are rewritten in-place.
This updates the last leftovers in the documentation to reflect the
new behavior.

Jari Aalto noticed a handful places in git-daemon documentation
that need to be improved.
* --inetd makes --pid-file to be ignored, in addition to --user

* receive-pack service was not described at all. We should, if
only to warn about the security implications of it.
* There was no example of per repository configuration.
