* | Add custom subject prefix support to format-patch (take 3)Robin H. Johnson2007-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new option to git-format-patch, entitled --subject-prefix that allows control of the subject prefix '[PATCH]'. Using this option, the text 'PATCH' is replaced with whatever input is provided to the option. This allows easily generating patches like '[PATCH 2.6.21-rc3]' or properly numbered series like '[-mm3 PATCH N/M]'. This patch provides the implementation and documentation. Signed-off-by: Robin H.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This corrects the interface mistake of the previous one, and gives a command line parameter to the only plumbing command that currently needs it: "git-read-tree".

| * | _GIT_INDEX_OUTPUT: allow plumbing to output to an alternative index file.Junio C Hamano2007-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv, read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding the lock on the index. However, I think the interface to let an environment variable specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation. If a curious user has the environment variable set to something other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named file, to prevent stupid mistakes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* | Fix lost-found to show commits only referenced by reflogsShawn O. Pearce2007-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to 1.5.0 the git-lost-found utility was useful to locate commits that were not referenced by any ref. These were often amends, or resets, or tips of branches that had been deleted. Being able to locate a 'lost' commit and recover it by creating a new branch was a useful feature in those days. Unfortunately 1.5.0 added the reflogs to the reachability analysis performed by git-fsck, which means that most commits users would consider to be lost are still reachable through a reflog. So most (or all!) commits are reachable, and nothing gets output from git-lost-found. Now git-fsck can be told to ignore reflogs during its reachability analysis, making git-lost-found useful again to locate commits that are no longer referenced by a ref itself, but may still be referenced by a reflog.

The output is suitable for `eval` in shell and defines five variables: - bisect_rev is the next revision to test. - bisect_nr is the expected number of commits to test after bisect_rev is tested. - bisect_good is the expected number of commits to test if bisect_rev turns out to be good. - bisect_bad is the expected number of commits to test if bisect_rev turns out to be bad. - bisect_all is the number of commits we are bisecting right now.
