Document that when using git svn, one should usually either use the
directory structure options to import branches as branches, or only
import one subdirectory. The default behaviour of cloning all branches
and tags as subdirectories in the working copy is usually not what the
user wants.

(branchname@revision). These branches confuse many users and it is a FAQ
why they are created. Document when git svn creates them.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

As it was not a common operation, it was described as if it is a
side note for the more common two-commit variant, but this mode
behaves very differently, e.g. it does not make any sense to ask
recursive behaviour, or give the command a pathspec.

These tests themselves are properly protected by the GPG
prerequisite, but one of the set-up steps outside the
test_expect_success block unconditionally assumed that there is a
gpghome/ directory, which is not true if GPG is not being used.
It may be a good idea to move the whole set-up steps in the test but
that is a follow-up topic.

Email addresses in documentation are converted into mailto: hyperlinks
in the HTML output and footnotes in man pages. This isn't desirable for
cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid.
Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears
in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying:
1. jane@laptop
mailto:jane@laptop
Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to
prevent Asciidoc expanding them as inline macros.
In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it
matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

A cache-tree entry with a negative entry count is considered invalid
by the current Git; it records that we do not know the object name
of a tree that would result by writing the directory covered by the
cache-tree as a tree object.
Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but
the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later
decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to
encode optional information on such invalidated entries without
harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and
how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

This version changes quite a few things:
1. The original parsed the mailmap file itself, and it did
it wrong (it did not understand entries with an extra
email key).
Instead, this version uses git's "%aE" and "%aN"
formats to have git perform the mapping, meaning we do
not have to read .mailmap at all, but still operate on
the current state that git sees (and it also works
properly from subdirs).
2. The original would find multiple names for an email,
but not the other way around.
This version can do either or both. If we find multiple
emails for a name, the resolution is less obvious than
the other way around. However, it can still be a
starting point for a human to investigate.
3. The original would order only by count, not by recency.
This version can do either. Combined with showing the
counts, it can be easier to decide how to resolve.
4. This version shows similar entries in a blank-delimited
stanza, which makes it more clear which options you are
picking from.

Linus used a lot of different per-machine email addresses in

This patch updates git's .mailmap in cases where multiple
names are matched to a single email. The "master" name for
each email was chosen by:
1. If the only difference is in the presence or absence
of accented characters, the accented form is chosen
(under the assumption that it is the natural spelling,
and accents are sometimes stripped in email).
2. Otherwise, the most commonly used name is chosen.
3. If all names are equally common, the most recently used name is
chosen.

The documentation mentioned only newlines and double quotes as
characters needing escaping, but the backslash also needs it. Also, the
documentation was not clearly saying that double quotes around the file
name were required (double quotes in the examples could be interpreted as
part of the sentence, not part of the actual string).

A mediawiki page can contain, and even start with a " character, we have
to escape it when generating the fast-export stream, as well as \

The primary thing Linus's patch wanted to change was to make sure
that 0-line change appears for a mode-only change. Update the
first test to chmod a file that we can see in the output (limited
by --stat-count) to demonstrate it. Also make sure to use test_chmod
and compare the index and the tree, so that we can run this test
even on a filesystem without permission bits.
Later two tests are about fixes to separate issues that were
introduced and/or uncovered by Linus's patch as a side effect, but
the issues are not related to mode-only changes. Remove chmod from
the tests.

Fix the same issue as the previous one for "git diff --stat";
unmerged entries was doubly-counted.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Even though we show a separate *UNMERGED* entry in the patch and
diffstat output (or in the --raw format, for that matter) in
addition to and separately from the diff against the specified stage
(defaulting to #2) for unmerged paths, they should not be counted in
the total number of files affected---that would lead to counting the
same path twice.
The separation done by the previous step makes this fix simple and
straightforward. Among the filepairs in diff_queue, paths that
weren't modified, and the extra "unmerged" entries do not count as
total number of files.

The diffstat generation logic, with --stat-count limit, is
implemented as three loops.
- The first counts the width necessary to show stats up to
specified number of entries, and notes up to how many entries in
the data we need to iterate to show the graph;
- The second iterates that many times to draw the graph, adjusts
the number of "total modified files", and counts the total
added/deleted lines for the part that was shown in the graph;
- The third iterates over the remainder and only does the part to
count "total added/deleted lines" and to adjust "total modified
files" without drawing anything.
Move the logic to count added/deleted lines and modified files from
the second loop to the third loop.
This incidentally fixes a bug. The third loop was not filtering
binary changes (counted in bytes) from the total added/deleted as it
should. The second loop implemented this correctly, so if a binary
change appeared earlier than the --stat-count cutoff, the code
counted number of added/deleted lines correctly, but if it appeared
beyond the cutoff, the number of lines would have mixed with the
byte count in the buggy third loop.

There are a few problems in diff.c around --stat area, partially
caused by the recent 74faaa1 (Fix "git diff --stat" for interesting

earlier change that introduced when --stat-count was added.

The intent is not to alarm the user, but just to test if there is
a new enough curl installed. However, if you look at search engine
suggested completions, the above "error" messages are confusing
people into thinking curl is a hard requirement.
Redirect this error output to /dev/null as it is not necessary to be
