Merge branch 'jc/fmt-merge-msg-people' into pu

The "fmt-merge-msg" command learns to list the primary contributors
involved in the side topic you are merging.

Will defer til 1.7.10.

* jc/fmt-merge-msg-people:
  fmt-merge-msg: show those involved in a merged series
Merge branch 'dg/test-from-elsewhere' into pu

Better support for out-of-tree test scripts, but it appears that the
approach needs to be rethought.  By repointing TEST_DIRECTORY to a
directory other than $(pwd)/.., an out of place test script can reach
test helpers and freshly built Git relative to it (GIT_BUILD_DIR is
a mere short-hand for $TEST_DIRECTORY/..).

Discussion stalled.

* dg/test-from-elsewhere:
  Support out-of-tree Valgrind tests
  Allow overriding GIT_BUILD_DIR
Merge branch 'ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal' into pu

The bottom one has been replaced with a rewrite based on comments
from Ævar. The second one needs more work, both in perl/Git.pm and
prompt.c, to give precedence to tty over SSH_ASKPASS when terminal
is available.

* ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal:
  fixup! 15eaaf4
  git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend Git::prompt helper for querying users
  perl/Git.pm: "prompt" helper to honor GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS
Merge branch 'hv/submodule-recurse-push' into pu

The bottom one was not clearly explained and needs a reroll.

* hv/submodule-recurse-push:
  push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option
  Refactor submodule push check to use string list instead of integer
  Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequencially

Conflicts:
	transport.h
Merge branch 'nd/columns' into pu

Rerolled again.  Modulo minor nits, looked nicer than the previous round.

* nd/columns:
  column: support grouping entries
  column: support "denser" mode
  ls-files: support --column
  tag: add --column
  column: support piping stdout to external git-column process
  status: add --column
  branch: add --column
  help: reuse print_columns() for help -a
  column: add dense layout support
  column: add columnar layout
  Stop starting pager recursively
  Add column layout skeleton and git-column
Merge branch 'jc/split-blob' into pu

Not ready.

I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in
127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30),
these are still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least
pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series
to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to
learn it to be used remotely.

Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and
that I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an
advice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary
support, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series
that was sent almost two months ago still remains here without much
comments and updates from the developer community. I even made the
interface to the logic that decides where to split chunks easily
replaceable, and I deliberately made the logic in the original patch
extremely stupid to entice others, especially the "bup" fanboys, to
come up with a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy
target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is
not working :-(.

* jc/split-blob:
  chunked-object: streaming checkout
  chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
  bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
  bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
  new representation types in the packstream
  varint-in-pack: refactor varint encoding/decoding

Conflicts:
	t/t1050-large.sh
Merge branch 'jh/apply-free-patch' into pu

Valgrind reports quite a lot of discarded memory inside apply. I have a
slight suspicion that we should first clarify the ownership rules of
pieces of memory in this standalone program that was designed to be "run
once and let exit take care of the memory" before proceeding further.

Will defer til 1.7.10.

* jh/apply-free-patch:
  apply.c: WIP ownership audit
  apply: free patch->result
  apply: free patch->{def,old,new}_name fields
  apply: do not leak patches and fragments
Merge branch 'mm/push-default-switch-warning' into pu

Not urgent.

This resurrects an ancient patch I wrote during a discussion we had in the
1.6.3-1.6.4 era.  This should probably come after ct/advise-push-default
topic and at that point the advise messages need to be rephrased, taking
the future default change into account.

* mm/push-default-switch-warning:
  push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default
Merge branch 'jc/run-hook-env-1' into pu

Not urgent.

Updates run_hook() API to be much less specific to "commit".  It would
only be useful if people start doing more interesting things with hooks.

* jc/run-hook-env-1:
  run_hook(): enhance the interface to pass arbitrary environment
Merge branch 'nd/threaded-index-pack' into pu

Another reroll after a bugreport on pthread usage discovered by Ramsey,
but it seems the topic is cooking between Ramsay and Duy out of tree.
Waiting for resolution.

* nd/threaded-index-pack:
  index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolving
  index-pack: split second pass obj handling into own function
Merge branch 'ct/advise-push-default' into pu

Breaks down the cases in which "git push" fails due to non-ff into three
categories, and gives separate advise messages.  This should be a good
change regardless of mm/push-default-switch-warning topic.

* ct/advise-push-default:
  clean up struct ref's nonfastforward field
  push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward errors

Conflicts:
	builtin/push.c
Merge branch 'lp/maint-diff-three-dash-with-graph' into pu

The combination of two options "log --graph --stat" was an obscure corner
case nobody cared about, and did not correctly show the ancestry graph
lines.

I've split the original patch into three pieces, one for fixes to two
different issues and a test.  Also the test is adjusted so that the series
can be back-merged to older codebase that did not have 7f81463 (Use
correct grammar in diffstat summary line, 2012-02-01) that first appeared
in v1.7.9.2

With a review from Zbigniew, I would expect that this would be rerolled
again.

* lp/maint-diff-three-dash-with-graph:
  t4202: add test for "log --graph --stat -p" separator lines
  log --graph: fix break in graph lines
  log --graph --stat: three-dash separator should come after graph lines
Merge branch 'wk/gitweb-snapshot-use-if-modified-since' into pu

Makes 'snapshot' request to "gitweb" honor If-Modified-Since: header,
based on the commit date.

* wk/gitweb-snapshot-use-if-modified-since:
  gitweb: add If-Modified-Since handling to git_snapshot().
  gitweb: refactor If-Modified-Since handling
  gitweb: add `status` headers to git_feed() responses.
Merge branch 'jc/maint-merge-autoedit' into pu

In 1.7.10, we added GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no environment variable to help
older scripts to let them refuse giving users a chance to explain the
merge, but forgot that 1.7.9 automatically opens an editor when merging an
annotated tag, and there is no equivalent escape hatch.  A merge of this
topic to 1.7.10 track becomes a no-op, but we may want to apply this to
the 1.7.9.x series.

* jc/maint-merge-autoedit:
  merge: backport GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT support

Conflicts:
	Documentation/merge-options.txt
Merge branch 'jk/diff-no-rename-empty' into pu

Forbids rename detection logic from matching two empty files as renames
during merge-recursive to prevent mismerges.

* jk/diff-no-rename-empty:
  merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty files
  teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content
  make is_empty_blob_sha1 available everywhere
  drop casts from users EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN
Merge branch 'th/difftool-diffall' into pu

Rolls the two-directory-diff logic from diffall script (in contrib/) into
"git difftool" framework.

* th/difftool-diffall:
  difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'
  difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffs
  difftool: replace system call with Git::command_noisy
  difftool: eliminate setup_environment function
  difftool: stop appending '.exe' to git
  difftool: remove explicit change of PATH
  difftool: exit(0) when usage is printed
  difftool: add '--no-gui' option
  difftool: parse options using Getopt::Long
Merge branch 'rs/combine-diff-zero-context-at-the-beginning' into pu

Fixes an age old corner case bug in combine diff (only triggered with -U0
and the hunk at the beginning of the file needs to be shown).

* rs/combine-diff-zero-context-at-the-beginning:
  combine-diff: fix loop index underflow
Merge branch 'sl/autoconf' into pu

Updates our configure.ac to follow a better "autoconf" style.

* sl/autoconf:
  configure: be more idiomatic
  configure: avoid some code repetitions thanks to m4_{push,pop}def
  configure: move definitions of private m4 macros before AC_INIT invocation
