clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags. Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without also fetching its tags. When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now --no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch. This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a normal clone but not fetch any tags. Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly show ~40k references instead of 1. The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring about any other references. Without this change the only way of accomplishing this was either by manually tweaking the config in a fresh repository: git init git && cat >git/.git/config <<EOF && [remote "origin"] url = git@github.com:git/git.git tagOpt = --no-tags fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master EOF cd git && git pull Which requires hardcoding the "master" name, which may not be the main --single-branch would have retrieved, or alternatively by setting tagOpt=--no-tags right after cloning & deleting any existing tags: git clone --single-branch git@github.com:git/git.git && cd git && git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags && git tag -l | xargs git tag -d Which of course was also subtly buggy if --branch was pointed at a tag, leaving the user in a detached head: git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 git@github.com:git/git.git && cd git && git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags && git tag -l | xargs git tag -d Now all this complexity becomes the much simpler: git clone --single-branch --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git Or in the case of cloning a single tag "branch": git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

fetch: stop clobbering existing tags without --force Change "fetch" to treat "+" in refspecs (aka --force) to mean we should clobber a local tag of the same name. This changes the long-standing behavior of "fetch" added in 853a3697dc ("[PATCH] Multi-head fetch.", 2005-08-20). Before this change, all tag fetches effectively had --force enabled. See the git-fetch-script code in fast_forward_local() with the comment: > Tags need not be pointing at commits so there is no way to > guarantee "fast-forward" anyway. That commit and the rest of the history of "fetch" shows that the "+" (--force) part of refpecs was only conceived for branch updates, while tags have accepted any changes from upstream unconditionally and clobbered the local tag object. Changing this behavior has been discussed as early as 2011[1]. The current behavior doesn't make sense to me, it easily results in local tags accidentally being clobbered. We could namespace our tags per-remote and not locally populate refs/tags/*, but as with my 97716d217c ("fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags config", 2018-02-09) it's easier to work around the current implementation than to fix the root cause. So this change implements suggestion #1 from Jeff's 2011 E-Mail[1], "fetch" now only clobbers the tag if either "+" is provided as part of the refspec, or if "--force" is provided on the command-line. This also makes it nicely symmetrical with how "tag" itself works when creating tags. I.e. we refuse to clobber any existing tags unless "--force" is supplied. Now we can refuse all such clobbering, whether it would happen by clobbering a local tag with "tag", or by fetching it from the remote with "fetch". Ref updates outside refs/{tags,heads/* are still still not symmetrical with how "git push" works, as discussed in the recently changed pull-fetch-param.txt documentation. This change brings the two divergent behaviors more into line with one another. I don't think there's any reason "fetch" couldn't fully converge with the behavior used by "push", but that's a topic for another change. One of the tests added in 31b808a032 ("clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch", 2012-09-20) is being changed to use --force where a clone would clobber a tag. This changes nothing about the existing behavior of the test. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/20111123221658.GA22313@sigill.intra.peff.net/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags. Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without also fetching its tags. When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now --no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch. This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a normal clone but not fetch any tags. Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly show ~40k references instead of 1. The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring about any other references.
