The new commit would then be recorded in the filter-branch revision map, and subsequent commits which leave the tree untouched would be correctly filtered. With this change, parentless commits with an empty tree are correctly pruned, and an empty file is recorded in the revision map, signifying that it was rewritten to "no commits." This works naturally with the parent mapping for subsequent commits. Signed-off-by: Devin J. Pohly <djpohly@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in 53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16), this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc: rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of "tracking". Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation mentioned that. That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should document what it does. This patch does the latter.

Running "git gc --auto" in this state would cause a gc.log file to be created, preventing future auto gcs, causing pack files to pile up. Since many git operations are O(n) in the number of pack files, this would lead to poor performance. Git should never get itself into a state where it refuses to do any maintenance, just because at some point some piece of the maintenance didn't make progress. Teach Git to ignore gc.log files which are older than (by default) one day old, which can be tweaked via the gc.logExpiry configuration variable. That way, these pack files will get cleaned up, if necessary, at least once per day. And operators who find a need for more-frequent gcs can adjust gc.logExpiry to meet their needs. There is also some cleanup: a successful manual gc, or a warning-free auto gc with an old log file, will remove any old gc.log files. It might still happen that manual intervention is required (e.g. because the repo is corrupt), but at the very least it won't be because Git is too dumb to try again.

This would make sense if the term could be easily confused if not properly grouped together. But actually, the term is quite obvious and thus does not really need any quoting, especially regarding that it is not used anywhere else. But more importanly, this brings up a bug when rendering man pages: when trying to render quotes inside of a section header, we end up with quotes which have been misaligned to the end of line. E.g. diffcore-break: For Splitting Up Complete Rewrites -------------------------------------------------- renders as DIFFCORE-BREAK: FOR SPLITTING UP COMPLETE REWRITES"" , which is obviously wrong. While this is fixable for the man pages by using double-quotes (e.g. ""COMPLETE REWRITES""), this again breaks it for our generated HTML pages. So fix the issue by simply dropping quotes inside of section headers, which is currently only done for the term "Complete Rewrites".
