Prior to c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream
branches, 2008-01-26), pull --rebase would run
git rebase $merge_head
which resulted in a call to
git format-patch ... --ignore-if-in-upstream $merge_head..$cur_branch
This resulted in patches from $merge_head..$cur_branch being applied, as
long as they did not already exist in $cur_branch..$merge_head.
Unfortunately, when upstream is rebased, $merge_head..$cur_branch also
refers to "old" commits that have already been rebased upstream, meaning
that many patches that were already fixed upstream would be reapplied.
This could result in many spurious conflicts, as well as reintroduce
patches that were intentionally dropped upstream.
So the algorithm was changed in c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with
rebased upstream branches, 2008-01-26) and d44e712 (pull: support rebased
upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19). Defining $old_remote_ref to
be the most recent entry in the reflog for @{upstream} that is an ancestor
of $cur_branch, pull --rebase was changed to run
git rebase --onto $merge_head $old_remote_ref
which results in a call to
git format-patch ... --ignore-if-in-upstream $old_remote_ref..$cur_branch
The whole point of this change was to reduce the number of commits being
reapplied, by avoiding commits that upstream already has or had.
In the rebased upstream case, this change achieved that purpose. It is
worth noting, though, that since $old_remote_ref is always an ancestor of
$cur_branch (by its definition), format-patch will not know what upstream
is and thus will not be able to determine if any patches are already
upstream; they will all be reapplied.
In the non-rebased upstream case, this new form is usually the same as the
original code but in some cases $old_remote_ref can be an ancestor of
$(git merge-base $merge_head $cur_branch)
meaning that instead of avoiding reapplying commits that upstream already
has, it actually includes more such commits. Combined with the fact that
format-patch can no longer detect commits that are already upstream (since
it is no longer told what upstream is), results in lots of confusion for
users (e.g. "git is giving me lots of conflicts in stuff I didn't even
change since my last push.")
Cases where additional commits could be reapplied include forking from a
commit other than the tracking branch, or amending/rebasing after pushing.
Cases where the inability to detect upstreamed commits cause problems
include independent discovery of a fix and having your patches get
upstreamed by some alternative route (e.g. pulling your changes to a third
machine, pushing from there, and then going back to your original machine
and trying to pull --rebase).
Fix the non-rebased upstream case by ignoring $old_remote_ref whenever it
is contained in $(git merge-base $merge_head $cur_branch). This should
have no affect on the rebased upstream case.

When 921177f (Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch"
examples, 2008-05-07) converted this from enumeration header to displayed
text, it failed to adjust for the AsciiDoc's rule to quote backslashes.
In displayed text, backslash is shown verbatim, while in enumeration
header, we need to double it.
We have a similar construct in git-rm.txt documentation, and need to be
careful when somebody wants to update it to match the style of the "git
add" example.

That commit made the situation better for repositories with relatively
small number of objects. However with many objects and a small pack size

or even much worse with long delta chains.

The code to guess an output archive's format consumed any --format
options and built a new one. Jonathan noticed that it does so in an
unsafe way, risking to overflow the static buffer fmt_opt.
Change the code to keep the existing --format options intact and to only
add a new one if a format could be guessed based on the output file name.
The new option is added as the first one, allowing the existing ones to
overrule it, i.e. explicit --format options given on the command line win
over format guesses, as before.
To simplify the code further, format_from_name() is changed to return the
full --format option, thus no potentially dangerous sprintf() calls are
needed any more.

This function did not work on strings that were not NUL-terminated. It
reads through a length-bounded string, searching for characters in need of
quoting. After we find one, we output the quoted character, then advance
our pointer to find the next one. However, we never decremented the
length, meaning we ended up looking at whatever random junk was stored
after the string.
This bug was not found by the existing tests because most code paths feed
a NUL-terminated string. The notable exception is a directory name being
fed by ls-tree.

Revert the previous attempt to skip this test on platforms where we
currently cannot determine the system load. We want to make sure that
the max-load-limit codepath produces results cleanly, when gitweb is
updated and becomes capable of reading the load average by some other
method.
The code to check for load returns 0 if it doesn't know how to find
load. It also checks to see if the current load is higher than the
max load. So to force the script to quit early by setting the maxload
variable negative which should work for systems where we can detect
load (which should be a positive number) and systems where we can't
(where detected load is 0)
