t1010-mktree: Adjust expected result to code and documentation
combined diff: correctly handle truncated file
Document new "already-merged" rule for branch -d
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to
"the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which
technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other
mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS)..").
Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term
"work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in
the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which
makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters
occurs in.

v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the
branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic
for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue. It
is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if:
- the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking,
usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or
- there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is
fully merged in the current HEAD.
Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules.

This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:
* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}
* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
format:
- each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
in unified diff
- newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
tilde '~'
Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.
Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

The way the code stored --smtp-domain was unlike its handling of other
similar options. Bring it in line with the others by:
- Renaming $mail_domain to $smtp_domain to match the command line
option. Also move its declaration from near the top of the file to
near other option variables.
- Removing $mail_domain_default. The variable was used once and only
served to move the default away from where it gets used.
- Adding a sendemail.smtpdomain config option. smtp-domain was the
only SMTP configuration option that couldn't be set in the user's
.gitconfig.

- use "<options>" instead of just "options".
- use "[<repository> [<refspec>...]]" to indicate that <repository> and
<refspec> are optional, and that <refspec> cannot be specified
without specifying <repository>.
Note that when called without specifying <repository> (eg. "git fetch
-f"), it is accurate to say that the "git fetch [<options>]
[<repository> ...]" case takes precedence over "git fetch [<options>]
<group>".

Even if you use imap-send to throw your drafts in the outbox, using their
web interface will mangle your patches. Clarify that the imap-send is
meant to be used together with a real MUA that can use IMAP drafts, and
remove instructions related to the web interface, which is irrelevant.
Add description of send-email as an alternative.

Change git-commit(1) to accept the --allow-empty-message option
to allow a commit with an empty message. This is analogous to the
existing --allow-empty option which allows a commit that records
no changes. As these are mainly for interoperating with foreign SCM
systems, and are not meant for normal use, ensure that "git commit -h"
does not talk about them.

If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.
Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:
I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
no?
The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)
This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's
particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled
to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead
can add up for something like "git log -p".
This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast
cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in
refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver
defined in gitattributes.
Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true.
In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files
changed and a textconv to show their exif tags:
[before]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m13.724s
user 0m12.057s
sys 0m1.624s
[after, first run]
$ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m14.252s
user 0m12.197s
sys 0m1.800s
[after, subsequent runs]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m0.352s
user 0m0.148s
sys 0m0.200s
So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an
almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.
