Junio C Hamano [Sun, 5 Mar 2006 00:18:43 +0000 (16:18 -0800)]
Cauterize dropped or duplicate bits from next.

I am very sorry to do this, but without this funky octopus, "git
log --no-merges master..next" will show commits already merged
into "master" forever.

There are some commits on the next branch (which is never to be
rewound) that are reverts of other commits on the next branch.
They are to revert the finer grained delta experiments that
turned out to have undesirable performance effects.  Also there
are some other commits that were first done as a merge into
"next" (a pull request based on next) and then cherry picked
into master.  Since they are not going to be merged into
"master" ever, they will stay forever in "log master..next".

Yuck.

So this commit records the fact that the commits currently shown
by "git log --no-merges master..next" to be merged into "master"
are already in the master, either because they really are (in
the case of git-cvsserver bits, which needed cherry-picking into
"master"), or because they are fully reverted in "next" (in the
case of finer-grained delta bits).

Here is the way I made this commit:

 (1) Inspect "gitk --no-merges --parents master..next"

     This shows what git thinks are missing from master.  It
     shows chain of commits that are already merged and chain of
     commits whose net effect should amount to a no-op.

     Look at each commits and make sure they are either unwanted
     or already merged by cherry-picking.

 (2) Record the tip of branches that I do not want.  In this
     case, the following were unwanted:

     cfcbd3427e67056a00ec832645b057eaf33888d9 cvsserver

     2b8d9347aa1a11f1ac13591f89ca9f984d467c77 diff-delta

 (3) Shorten the list by finding independent ones from the
     above.

     $ git show-branch --independent $the $above $tips

     cfcbd3427e67056a00ec832645b057eaf33888d9

     $ git merge -s ours "`cat $this-file`" HEAD cfcbd3 c436eb

contrib/git-svn: add -b/--branch switch for branch detection

I've said I don't like branches in Subversion, and I still don't.
This is a bit more flexible, though, as the argument for -b is any
arbitrary git head/tag reference.

This makes some things easier:
 * Importing git history into a brand new SVN branch.
 * Tracking multiple SVN branches via GIT_SVN_ID, even from multiple
   repositories.
 * Adding tags from SVN (still need to use GIT_SVN_ID, though).
 * Even merge tracking is supported, if and only the heads end up with
   100% equivalent tree objects.  This is more stricter but more robust
   and foolproof than parsing commit messages, imho.

Prevent --index-info from ignoring -z.

If git-update-index --index-info -z is used only the first
record given to the process will actually be updated as
the -z option is ignored until after all index records
have been read and processed.  This meant that multiple
null terminated records were seen as a single record which
was lacking a trailing LF, however since the first record
ended in a null the C string handling functions ignored the
trailing garbage.  So --index-info should be required to be
the last command line option, much as --stdin is required
to be the last command line option.  Because --index-info
implies --stdin this isn't an issue as the user shouldn't
be passing --stdin when also passing --index-info.
