Merge branch 'kn/ref-filter-branch-list'

The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated
with the more generic ref-filter API.

  ref-filter: allow porcelain to translate messages in the output
  ref-filter: add an 'rstrip=<N>' option to atoms which deal with refnames
  ref-filter: modify the 'lstrip=<N>' option to work with negative '<N>'
  ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' option
  ref-filter: rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip'
  ref-filter: make remote_ref_atom_parser() use refname_atom_parser_internal()
  ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser()
  ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser_internal()
  ref-filter: make "%(symref)" atom work with the ':short' modifier
  ref-filter: add support for %(upstream:track,nobracket)
  ref-filter: make %(upstream:track) prints "[gone]" for invalid upstreams

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of “get” may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • “global information tracker”: you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • “goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t”: when it breaks
