Switch git checkout -b to use git-update-ref rather than echo and
a shell I/O redirection. This is more in line with typical GIT
commands and allows -b to be logged according to the normal ref
logging rules.
Added -l option to allow users to create the ref log at the same
time as creating a branch.

When crating a new branch offer '-l' as a way for the user to
quickly enable ref logging for the new branch.
When deleting a branch also delete its ref log.

Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is
meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm.
Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now
appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name
in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

Since large quilt trees like -mm can easily have patches
without clear authorship information, add a --dry-run
option to make the problem patches easy to find.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Importing a quilt patch series into git is not very difficult
but parsing the patch descriptions and all of the other
minutia take a bit of effort to get right, so this automates it.
Since git and quilt complement each other it makes sense
to make it easy to go back and forth between the two.
If a patch is encountered that it cannot derive the author
from the user is asked.

Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications
which indicate a point in time within the local repository's
history. If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in
$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated
by the specification is obtained from the ref's log.

If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains
the following information:
oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>
where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.
An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.

This conversion also adds the '-m' switch to update-ref allowing
the caller to record why the ref is changing. At present this is
merely copied down into the ref_lock API.

When optional paths arguments are given, git-clean passes them
to underlying git-ls-files; with this, you can say:
git clean 'temp-*'
to clean only the garbage files whose names begin with 'temp-'.

After running 'git-update-index' for some paths, you may want to

The new flag --again checks the paths whose index entries are
