fb2c984148 git-cvsimport: allow author-specific timezones
CVS patchsets are imported with timestamps having an offset of +0000
(UTC).  The cvs-authors file is already used to translate the CVS
username to full name and email in the corresponding commit.  Extend
this file to support an optional timezone for calculating a user-
specific timestamp offset.

82dce998c2 attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore
.gitattributes and .gitignore share the same pattern syntax but has
separate matching implementation. Over the years, ignore's
implementation accumulates more optimizations while attr's stays the
same.

This patch reuses the core matching functions that are also used by
excluded_from_list. excluded_from_list and path_matches can't be
merged due to differences in exclude and attr, for example:

* "!pattern" syntax is forbidden in .gitattributes.  As an attribute
  can be unset (i.e. set to a special value "false") or made back to
  unspecified (i.e. not even set to "false"), "!pattern attr" is unclear
  which one it means.

* we support attaching attributes to directories, but git-core
  internally does not currently make use of attributes on
  directories.

e8ef401cd0 doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
On a multiuser system where mortals do not have write access to /etc,
the GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM variable is the best tool we have to keep
getting work done when a syntax error or other problem renders
/etc/gitconfig buggy, until the sysadmin sorts the problem out.

Noticed while experimenting with teaching git to error out when
/etc/gitconfig is unreadable.

727b6fc3ed log --grep: accept --basic-regexp and --perl-regexp
When we added the "--perl-regexp" option (or "-P") to "git grep", we
should have done the same for the commands in the "git log" family,
but somehow we forgot to do so.  This corrects it, but we will
reserve the short-and-sweet "-P" option for something else for now.

Also introduce the "--basic-regexp" option for completeness, so that
the "last one wins" principle can be used to defeat an earlier -E
option, e.g. "git log -E --basic-regexp --grep='<bre>'".  Note that
it cannot have the short "-G" option as the option is to grep in the
patch text in the context of "log" family.

73b0898d0d Teach "git submodule add" the --name option
"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This
was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work
tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of
the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the
submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a
different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as
that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository
instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the
wrong repository.

Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the
submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to
remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it
makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule
and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the
same reason).

To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of
the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the
call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already
know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

293ab15eea submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with
this error:

	fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory

This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule
without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history
contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the
user from possible loss of data.

But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git
directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory
which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work
tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so
let's teach git to do so.

Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from
the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory
is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index.

Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual
checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced).
For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the
index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't
ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed
expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed).
That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too.

Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees
top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the
repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a
message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or
even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this
change.
