Fix CDPATH problem.

CDPATH has two problems:

 * It takes scripts to unexpected places (somebody had
   CDPATH=..:../..:$HOME and the "cd" in git-clone.sh:get_repo_base
   took him to $HOME/.git when he said "clone foo bar" to clone a
   repository in "foo" which had "foo/.git").  CDPATH mechanism does
   not implicitly give "." at the beginning of CDPATH, which is
   the most irritating part.

 * The extra echo when it does its thing confuses scripts further.

is primarily fixed there.  git-clone starts without a repository, and
it needs its own fix.

Multi-backend merge driver.

The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.

If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'.  Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.

If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree.  The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.

The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:

 - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.

 - They take input of this form:

<common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>...

   That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
   current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
   the current branch.

 - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
   matched to the current <head>.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
   successfully auto-merges the given heads.  It should do
   update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
   index file will be used to record the merge result as a
   commit by the driver.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
   conflicts behind.  It should do update-cache for all the
   merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
   cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
   it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
   with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.

 - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
   1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.

We now keep track of the patches merged in each branch since they have
diverged, using the records that the Arch "logs" provide. Merge parents
for a commit are defined if we are merging a series of patches that starts
from the mergebase.

If patches from a related branch are merged out-of-order, we keep track of
how much has been merged sequentially -- the tip of that sequential merge
is our new parent from that branch.

This mechanism works very well for branches that merge in dovetail and/or
flying fish patterns, probably less well for others.

the tutorial to talk about the same, but at this point in the
flow of tutorial, the first time reader has no way of knowing it.

Double-equal is accepted by bash built-in '[' and bash(1) suggests

Junio C Hamano [Fri, 2 Sep 2005 09:34:13 +0000 (02:34 -0700)]
Fix automerge message.

The rewrite done while adding the shorthand support made the remote
refname recorded in the commit message too long for human consumption,
while losing information by using the shorthand not the real URL to
name the remote repository there.  They were both bad changes done
without enough thinking.

19 years ago[PATCH] Explain what went wrong on update-cache of new file

[PATCH] Explain what went wrong on update-cache of new file

If somebody tries to run `git update-cache foo', where foo is a new
file, git dies with a rather cryptic error message:

 fatal: Unable to add foo to database

This trivial patch makes git explain what probably went wrong.  It is
not a perfect diagnosis of all error paths, but for 90% of the cases it
should provide the user with the clue they need.

[jc: I ended up wording slightly differently, and fixed another
 confusing error message I noticed while reviewing the code.]
