Merge branch 'nd/maint-branch-desc-doc' into pu

Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/212482

* nd/maint-branch-desc-doc:
  branch: delete branch description if it's empty
  format-patch: pick up branch description when no ref is specified
  config.txt: a few lines about branch.<name>.description
Merge branch 'as/check-ignore' into pu

Rerolled.  The early parts looked mostly fine; we may want to split
this into two topics and have the early half graduate sooner.

* as/check-ignore:
  Add git-check-ignore sub-command
  setup.c: document get_pathspec()
  pathspec.c: extract new validate_path() for reuse
  pathspec.c: move reusable code from builtin/add.c
  add.c: remove unused argument from validate_pathspec()
  add.c: refactor treat_gitlinks()
  dir.c: provide clear_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory
  dir.c: keep track of where patterns came from
  dir.c: use a single struct exclude_list per source of excludes
  dir.c: rename free_excludes() to clear_exclude_list()
  dir.c: refactor is_path_excluded()
  dir.c: refactor is_excluded()
  dir.c: refactor is_excluded_from_list()
  dir.c: rename excluded() to is_excluded()
  dir.c: rename excluded_from_list() to is_excluded_from_list()
  dir.c: rename path_excluded() to is_path_excluded()
  dir.c: rename cryptic 'which' variable to more consistent name
  Improve documentation and comments regarding directory traversal API
  api-directory-listing.txt: update to match code

Merge branch 'mb/gitweb-highlight-link-target' into pu

Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/211935

* mb/gitweb-highlight-link-target:
  Highlight the link target line in Gitweb using CSS
Merge branch 'mp/complete-paths' into pu

The completion script used to let the default completer to suggest
pathnames, which gave too many irrelevant choices (e.g. "git add"
would not want to add an unmodified path).  Teach it to use a more
git-aware logic to enumerate only relevant ones.

Waiting for area-experts' review.

* mp/complete-paths:
  git-completion.bash: add support for path completion

Conflicts:
	contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
Merge branch 'jc/merge-blobs' into pu

A beginning of a new merge strategy based on the disused merge-tree
proof-of-concept code.

* jc/merge-blobs:
  merge-tree: fix d/f conflicts
  merge-tree: add comments to clarify what these functions are doing
  merge-tree: lose unused "resolve_directories"
  merge-tree: lose unused "flags" from merge_list
  Which merge_file() function do you mean?
Merge branch 'ap/log-mailmap' into pu

Clean up various codepaths around mailmap and teach the "log"
machinery to use it.

Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/212426

* ap/log-mailmap:
  log --use-mailmap: optimize for cases without --author/--committer search
  log: add log.mailmap configuration option
  log: grep author/committer using mailmap
  test: Add test for --use-mailmap option
  log: Add --use-mailmap option
  pretty: Use mailmap to display username and email
  mailmap: Add mailmap structure to rev_info and pp
  mailmap: Simplify map_user() interface
  mailmap: Remove buffer length limit in map_user
  Use split_ident_line to parse author and committer

Conflicts:
	commit.h
	log-tree.c
Merge branch 'jc/add-delete-default' into pu

"git add dir/" updated modified files and added new files, but does
not notice removed files, which may be "Huh?" to some users.  They
can of course use "git add -A dir/", but why should they?

Resurrected from graveyard, as I thought it was a worthwhile thing
to do in the longer term.

Waiting for comments.

* jc/add-delete-default:
  git add: notice removal of tracked paths by default
Merge branch 'jc/maint-name-rev' into pu

"git name-rev" names the given revision based on a ref that can be
reached in the smallest number of steps from the rev, but that is
not useful when the caller wants to know which tag is the oldest one
that contains the rev.  This teaches a new mode to the command that
uses the oldest ref among those which contain the rev.

I am not sure if this is worth it; for one thing, even with the help
from notes-cache, it seems to make the "describe --contains" even
slower. Also the command will be unusably slow for a user who does
not have a write access (hence unable to create or update the
notes-cache).

Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.

* jc/maint-name-rev:
  describe --contains: use "name-rev --algorithm=weight"
  name-rev --algorithm=weight: tests and documentation
  name-rev --algorithm=weight: cache the computed weight in notes
  name-rev --algorithm=weight: trivial optimization
  name-rev: --algorithm option
  name_rev: clarify the logic to assign a new tip-name to a commit
  name-rev: lose unnecessary typedef

Conflicts:
	builtin/name-rev.c
Merge branch 'fc/remote-bzr' into pu

New remote helper for bzr (v3).  With minor fixes, this may be ready
for 'next'.

* fc/remote-bzr:
  (fixup) test-bzr.sh: fix multi-line string assignment
  remote-bzr: detect local repositories
  remote-bzr: add support for older versions of bzr
  remote-bzr: add support to push special modes
  remote-bzr: add support for fecthing special modes
  remote-bzr: add simple tests
  remote-bzr: update working tree upon pushing
  remote-bzr: add support for remote repositories
  remote-bzr: add support for pushing
  Add new remote-bzr transport helper
Merge branch 'fc/remote-testgit-feature-done' into pu

Needs review and Ack (or Nack) from people involved in the remote
helper interface for this to move forward.

* fc/remote-testgit-feature-done:
  remote-testgit: properly check for errors
Merge branch 'mb/remote-default-nn-origin' into pu

When the user does not specify what remote to interact with, we
often attempt to use 'origin'.  This can now be customized via a
configuration variable.

Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/210151

"The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a
separate step.

* mb/remote-default-nn-origin:
  Teach get_default_remote to respect remote.default.
  Test that plain "git fetch" uses remote.default when on a detached HEAD.
  Teach clone to set remote.default.
  Teach "git remote" about remote.default.
  Teach remote.c about the remote.default configuration setting.
  Rename remote.c's default_remote_name static variables.

Conflicts:
	builtin/remote.c
	t/t5505-remote.sh
Merge branch 'bc/append-signed-off-by' into pu

Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/212507

* bc/append-signed-off-by:
  t4014: do not use echo -n
  Unify appending signoff in format-patch, commit and sequencer
  format-patch: update append_signoff prototype
  format-patch: stricter S-o-b detection
  t4014: more tests about appending s-o-b lines
  sequencer.c: teach append_signoff to avoid adding a duplicate newline
  sequencer.c: teach append_signoff how to detect duplicate s-o-b
  sequencer.c: always separate "(cherry picked from" from commit body
  sequencer.c: recognize "(cherry picked from ..." as part of s-o-b footer
  t/t3511: add some tests of 'cherry-pick -s' functionality
  t/test-lib-functions.sh: allow to specify the tag name to test_commit
  sequencer.c: remove broken support for rfc2822 continuation in footer

Conflicts:
	builtin/log.c
Merge branch 'jc/xprm-generation' into pu

A toy to analyze how bad the clock skews are in histories of real
world projects.

Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.

* jc/xprm-generation:
  test-generation: compute generation numbers and clock skews
Merge branch 'jk/lua-hackery' into pu

Interesting exercise. When we do this for real, we probably would want
to wrap a commit to make it more like an "object" with methods like
"parents", etc.

* jk/lua-hackery:
  pretty: fix up one-off format_commit_message calls
  Minimum compilation fixup
  Makefile: make "lua" a bit more configurable
  add a "lua" pretty format
  add basic lua infrastructure
  pretty: make some commit-parsing helpers more public
Merge branch 'jc/doc-default-format' into pu

Need to address the installation half if this is to be any useful.

* jc/doc-default-format:
  [SQAUSH] allow "cd Doc* && make DEFAULT_DOC_TARGET=..."
  Allow generating a non-default set of documentation
Merge branch 'jc/doc-maintainer' into pu

An early draft that is still incomplete.

* jc/doc-maintainer:
  update "howto maintain git"
Merge branch 'zk/clean-report-failure' into pu

"git clean" states what it is going to remove and then goes on to
remove it, but sometimes it only discovers things that cannot be
removed after recursing into a directory, which makes the output
confusing and even wrong.

Rerolled.

* zk/clean-report-failure:
  (SQUASH???) fix-up only the trivial bits
  git-clean: Display more accurate delete messages
