Restructure "reflog expire" to fit the reflogs better with the recently updated ref API. Looked reasonable (except that some shortlog entries stood out like a sore thumb). * mh/reflog-expire: (24 commits) refs.c: let fprintf handle the formatting refs.c: don't expose the internal struct ref_lock in the header file lock_any_ref_for_update(): inline function refs.c: remove unlock_ref/close_ref/commit_ref from the refs api reflog_expire(): new function in the reference API expire_reflog(): treat the policy callback data as opaque Move newlog and last_kept_sha1 to "struct expire_reflog_cb" expire_reflog(): move rewrite to flags argument expire_reflog(): move verbose to flags argument expire_reflog(): pass flags through to expire_reflog_ent() struct expire_reflog_cb: a new callback data type Rename expire_reflog_cb to expire_reflog_policy_cb expire_reflog(): move updateref to flags argument expire_reflog(): move dry_run to flags argument expire_reflog(): add a "flags" argument expire_reflog(): extract two policy-related functions Extract function should_expire_reflog_ent() expire_reflog(): use a lock_file for rewriting the reflog file expire_reflog(): return early if the reference has no reflog expire_reflog(): rename "ref" parameter to "refname" ...

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
