CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The Git configuration file contains a number of variables that affect
|
|
|
|
the Git commands' behavior. The `.git/config` file in each repository
|
2009-04-23 09:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
is used to store the configuration for that repository, and
|
|
|
|
`$HOME/.gitconfig` is used to store a per-user configuration as
|
2009-04-23 09:38:00 +00:00
|
|
|
fallback values for the `.git/config` file. The file `/etc/gitconfig`
|
2009-04-23 09:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
can be used to store a system-wide default configuration.
|
2007-01-17 06:45:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-01-21 19:17:53 +00:00
|
|
|
The configuration variables are used by both the Git plumbing
|
2009-04-23 09:38:01 +00:00
|
|
|
and the porcelains. The variables are divided into sections, wherein
|
|
|
|
the fully qualified variable name of the variable itself is the last
|
2006-04-24 22:59:33 +00:00
|
|
|
dot-separated segment and the section name is everything before the last
|
2012-03-01 10:59:45 +00:00
|
|
|
dot. The variable names are case-insensitive, allow only alphanumeric
|
|
|
|
characters and `-`, and must start with an alphabetic character. Some
|
2015-03-04 18:26:17 +00:00
|
|
|
variables may appear multiple times; we say then that the variable is
|
|
|
|
multivalued.

Syntax
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
2006-04-24 22:59:33 +00:00
|
|
|
The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; whitespaces are mostly
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
ignored. The '#' and ';' characters begin comments to the end of line,
|
|
|
|
blank lines are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file consists of sections and variables. A section begins with
|
|
|
|
the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next
|
2015-03-04 04:03:50 +00:00
|
|
|
section begins. Section names are case-insensitive. Only alphanumeric
|
2009-03-15 11:30:52 +00:00
|
|
|
characters, `-` and `.` are allowed in section names. Each variable
|
2009-04-23 09:38:00 +00:00
|
|
|
must belong to some section, which means that there must be a section
|
|
|
|
header before the first setting of a variable.
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sections can be further divided into subsections. To begin a subsection
|
|
|
|
put its name in double quotes, separated by space from the section name,
|
2009-04-23 09:38:00 +00:00
|
|
|
in the section header, like in the example below:
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
[section "subsection"]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-23 09:38:01 +00:00
|
|
|
Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
|
2015-03-04 04:03:50 +00:00
|
|
|
newline (doublequote `"` and backslash can be included by escaping them
|
|
|
|
as `\"` and `\\`, respectively). Section headers cannot span multiple
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
lines. Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given subsection.
|
|
|
|
You can have `[section]` if you have `[section "subsection"]`, but you
|
|
|
|
don't need to.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-12 15:52:06 +00:00
|
|
|
There is also a deprecated `[section.subsection]` syntax. With this
|
|
|
|
syntax, the subsection name is converted to lower-case and is also
|
|
|
|
compared case sensitively. These subsection names follow the same
|
|
|
|
restrictions as section names.
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-07-25 00:28:50 +00:00
|
|
|
All the other lines (and the remainder of the line after the section
|
|
|
|
header) are recognized as setting variables, in the form
|
2015-03-04 19:08:34 +00:00
|
|
|
'name = value' (or just 'name', which is a short-hand to say that
|
|
|
|
the variable is the boolean "true").
|
2012-03-01 10:59:45 +00:00
|
|
|
The variable names are case-insensitive, allow only alphanumeric characters
|
2015-03-04 18:26:17 +00:00
|
|
|
and `-`, and must start with an alphabetic character.
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-03-04 18:33:38 +00:00
|
|
|
A line that defines a value can be continued to the next line by
|
|
|
|
ending it with a `\`; the backquote and the end-of-line are
|
|
|
|
stripped. Leading whitespaces after 'name =', the remainder of the
|
|
|
|
line after the first comment character '#' or ';', and trailing
|
|
|
|
whitespaces of the line are discarded unless they are enclosed in
|
|
|
|
double quotes. Internal whitespaces within the value are retained
|
|
|
|
verbatim.
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-03-04 18:33:38 +00:00
|
|
|
Inside double quotes, double quote `"` and backslash `\` characters
|
|
|
|
must be escaped: use `\"` for `"` and `\\` for `\`.
|
2007-01-22 15:25:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-03-15 11:30:52 +00:00
|
|
|
The following escape sequences (beside `\"` and `\\`) are recognized:
|
|
|
|
`\n` for newline character (NL), `\t` for horizontal tabulation (HT, TAB)
|
2014-03-31 22:11:44 +00:00
|
|
|
and `\b` for backspace (BS). Other char escape sequences (including octal
|
|
|
|
escape sequences) are invalid.

config: add include directive
It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

You can include one config file from another by setting the special

`include.path` variable to the name of the file to be included. The
|
2016-04-29 17:43:55 +00:00

Values
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Values of many variables are treated as a simple string, but there
|
|
|
|
are variables that take values of specific types and there are rules
|
|
|
|
as to how to spell them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
boolean::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a variable is said to take a boolean value, many
|
|
|
|
synonyms are accepted for 'true' and 'false'; these are all
|
|
|
|
case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
true;; Boolean true can be spelled as `yes`, `on`, `true`,
|
|
|
|
or `1`. Also, a variable defined without `= <value>`
|
|
|
|
is taken as true.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
false;; Boolean false can be spelled as `no`, `off`,
|
|
|
|
`false`, or `0`.

|

|
"false" (spelled in lowercase).
|

|
integer::
|
|
|
|
The value for many variables that specify various sizes can
|
|
|
|
be suffixed with `k`, `M`,... to mean "scale the number by
|
|
|
|
1024", "by 1024x1024", etc.

The value for a variable that takes a color is a list of

|
colors (at most two, one for foreground and one for background)
|
|
|
|
and attributes (as many as you want), separated by spaces.

The basic colors accepted are `normal`, `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`,

|
|
`blue`, `magenta`, `cyan` and `white`. The first color given is the

foreground; the second is the background.

log --decorate: do not leak "commit" color into the next item
In "git log --decorate", you would see the commit header like this:
commit ... (HEAD, jc/decorate-leaky-separator-color)
where "commit ... (" is painted in color.diff.commit, "HEAD" in
color.decorate.head, ", " in color.diff.commit, the branch name in
color.decorate.branch and then closing ")" in color.diff.commit.
If you wanted to paint the HEAD and local branch name in the same
color as the body text (perhaps because cyan and green are too faint
on a black-on-white terminal to be readable), you would not want to
have to say
[color "decorate"]
head = black
branch = black
because that you would not be able to reuse same configuration on a
white-on-black terminal. You would naively expect
[color "decorate"]
head = normal
branch = normal
to work, but unfortunately it does not. It paints the string "HEAD"
and the branch name in the same color as the opening parenthesis or
comma between the decoration elements. This is because the code
forgets to reset the color after printing the "prefix" in its own
color.
It theoretically is possible that some people were expecting and
relying on that the attribute set as the "diff.commit" color, which
is used to draw these opening parenthesis and inter-item comma, is
inherited by the drawing of branch names, but it is not how the
coloring works everywhere else.

Colors may also be given as numbers between 0 and 255; these use ANSI
|
|
|
|
256-color mode (but note that not all terminals may support this). If
|
|
|
|
your terminal supports it, you may also specify 24-bit RGB values as
|
|

hex, like `#ff0ab3`.

The accepted attributes are `bold`, `dim`, `ul`, `blink`, `reverse`,
|
|
|
|
`italic`, and `strike` (for crossed-out or "strikethrough" letters).
|
|
|
|
The position of any attributes with respect to the colors
|
2016-06-23 17:39:07 +00:00
|
|
|
(before, after, or in between), doesn't matter. Specific attributes may
|
|
|
|
be turned off by prefixing them with `no` or `no-` (e.g., `noreverse`,
|
|
|
|
`no-ul`, etc).
|
2016-06-23 17:32:30 +00:00
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
For git's pre-defined color slots, the attributes are meant to be reset
|
|
|
|
at the beginning of each item in the colored output. So setting
|
|
|
|
`color.decorate.branch` to `black` will paint that branch name in a
|
|
|
|
plain `black`, even if the previous thing on the same output line (e.g.
|
|
|
|
opening parenthesis before the list of branch names in `log --decorate`
|
|
|
|
output) is set to be painted with `bold` or some other attribute.
|
|
|
|
However, custom log formats may do more complicated and layered
|
|
|
|
coloring, and the negated forms may be useful there.

push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward errors
Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:
1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.
2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.
3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.
Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.
The new output looks like:
U foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.
Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.
The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting
On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.
On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.
In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.
Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.
The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).
In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.
Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.
A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().
The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
|
git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

config: add core.untrackedCache
When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.
Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.
When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.
`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.
Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.
This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between

group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the

repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being

2013-01-21 19:17:53 +00:00

group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions

2008-04-16 08:34:24 +00:00
|
|
|
reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,

|
|
|
files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
|
2009-04-14 13:15:42 +00:00
|
|
|
user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
|
|
|
|
requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
|
|
|
|
the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
|
|
|
|
others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a

lock_packed_refs(): allow retries when acquiring the packed-refs lock
Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
|
2013-08-28 20:26:12 +00:00
|
|
|
(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
|
|
|
|
all). If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
|
2014-04-30 07:35:25 +00:00
|
|
|
for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`. This will
|
2013-08-28 20:26:12 +00:00
|
|
|
be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
|
2014-04-30 07:35:25 +00:00
|
|
|
command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
|
|
|
|
`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
|
|
|
|
long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
|
|
|
|
deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
|
|
|
|
command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
|
|
|
|
`less`. One can specifically activate some flags for particular
|
|
|
|
commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
|
|
|
|
line truncation only for `git blame`.

Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
|
|
|
|
to `-c`. You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
|
|
|
|
another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.

apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.
Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.
The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes. The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors. It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.
Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix. Or you could call it a new feature. The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.
Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have. People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
|
|

data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use

journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata

and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").

This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially

on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus

relatively high IO latencies. When enabled, Git will do the

2006-06-07 18:43:50 +00:00
|
|
|
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
|
|
|
|
"git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid
|
2006-06-08 00:25:21 +00:00
|
|
|
confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that
|
2013-01-21 19:17:53 +00:00
|
|
|
hide existing Git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by
|
2006-06-08 00:25:21 +00:00
|
|
|
spaces, the usual shell quoting and escaping is supported.
|
2014-11-08 10:45:39 +00:00

If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point,
|
|
|

it will be treated as a shell command. For example, defining
|
|
|
|
"alias.new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD", the invocation
|
|
|
|
"git new" is equivalent to running the shell command
|
2009-07-01 16:00:31 +00:00
|
|
|
"gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD". Note that shell commands will be

executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may

not necessarily be the current directory.

By default, `git am` will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When

set to true, this setting tells `git am` to fall back on 3-way merge if
|
|
|
|
the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
|
|
|
|
we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the `--3way`

which remote to fetch from/push to. The remote to push to

|
|
may be overridden with `remote.pushDefault` (for all branches).
|
2013-04-02 07:40:34 +00:00

|
|
The remote to push to, for the current branch, may be further
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
overridden by `branch.<name>.pushRemote`. If no remote is
|
2013-04-02 07:40:34 +00:00

configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00

pushing. It also overrides `remote.pushDefault` for pushing
|
2013-04-02 07:40:34 +00:00
|

branch.<name>.merge::
|
2009-03-30 10:11:40 +00:00
|
|
|
Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
|
2011-02-10 01:54:02 +00:00
|
|
|
for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull'/'git rebase' which
|
2010-01-09 23:33:00 +00:00
|
|
|
branch to merge and can also affect 'git push' (see push.default).
|
|
|
|
When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
|
2007-09-11 03:03:25 +00:00
|
|
|
refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
|
|
|
|
handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
|
|
|
|
ref which is fetched from the remote given by
|
|
|
|
"branch.<name>.remote".
|
2010-01-09 23:33:00 +00:00
|
|
|
The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
|
|
|
|
'git fetch') to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
|
|
|
|
this option, 'git pull' defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.

If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from

git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like
[remote "local"]
url = .
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.
To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.
The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs. Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.
AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML). Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).
AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement. Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters. The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain. (This patch will not
change that.)
The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc. Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name. The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

grep: Colorize filename, line number, and separator
Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as
GNU grep does. The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>.
The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives
the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with
colors. GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to
magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well.
There is one difference from GNU grep: When a binary file matches
without -a, GNU grep does not color the <file> in "Binary file <file>
matches", but we do.
Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored.
For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than
a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable.
Remove the cast to int for `rm_eo - rm_so` since it is not necessary.

color.status::
|
|
|
|
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
|
2007-12-29 06:20:38 +00:00
|
|
|
linkgit:git-status[1]. May be set to `always`,
|
2007-12-06 01:05:17 +00:00
|
|
|
`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
|
2016-09-16 07:32:48 +00:00
|
|
|
only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
|
|
|
|
value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).

`nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting
|
2015-03-10 16:11:09 +00:00
|
|
|
to red), or
|
|

color.ui::
|
2011-04-27 07:38:27 +00:00
|
|
|
This variable determines the default value for variables such
|
|
|
|
as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
|
|
|
|
per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
|
|
|
|
configuration to set a default for the `--color` option. Set it
|
make color.ui default to 'auto'
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").
Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.
These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.
A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.
A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.
The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration

This setting overrides the default of the `--cleanup` option in
|

`git commit`. See linkgit:git-commit[1] for details. Changing the
|
|
|
|
default can be useful when you always want to keep lines that begin
|
|
|
|
with comment character `#` in your log message, in which case you
|
|
|
|
would do `git config commit.cleanup whitespace` (note that you will
|

2013-11-04 23:14:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A boolean to specify whether all commits should be GPG signed.
|
|
|
|
Use of this option when doing operations such as rebase can
|
|
|
|
result in a large number of commits being signed. It may be
|
|
|
|
convenient to use an agent to avoid typing your GPG passphrase

|
|
|
password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
|
2016-02-26 10:51:35 +00:00
|
|
|
storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. Note
|
|
|

|
|
or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
|
|
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
credential.username::
|
|
|
|
If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username
|
|
|
|
by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and
|
|
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
credential.<url>.*::
|
|
|
|
Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to
|
|
|
|
some credentials. For example "credential.https://example.com.username"
|
|
|
|
would set the default username only for https connections to
|

|
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
|
|
|
|
your tool is not in the PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
difftool.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
|
|
Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
|
|
|
|
The specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
|
|
|
|
variables available: 'LOCAL' is set to the name of the temporary
|
|
|
|
file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and 'REMOTE'
|

fastimport.unpackLimit::
|
|
|
|
If the number of objects imported by linkgit:git-fast-import[1]
|
|
|
|
is below this limit, then the objects will be unpacked into
|
|
|
|
loose object files. However if the number of imported objects
|
|
|
|
equals or exceeds this limit then the pack will be stored as a
|
|
|
|
pack. Storing the pack from a fast-import can make the import
|
|
|
|
operation complete faster, especially on slow filesystems. If
|
|
|
|
not set, the value of `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.

|
fetch.recurseSubmodules::
|
2011-03-06 22:11:48 +00:00
|
|
|
This option can be either set to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.
|
|
|
|
Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to
|
|
|
|
unconditionally recurse into submodules when set to true or to not
|
|
|
|
recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand' (the default
|
|
|
|
value), fetch and pull will only recurse into a populated submodule
|
|
|
|
when its superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
|
|
|
|
reference.

fetch.fsckObjects::
|
|
|
|
If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched
|
|
|
|
objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
|
|
|
|
broken link. The result of an abort are only dangling objects.
|
2011-09-04 19:37:45 +00:00
|
|
|
Defaults to false. If not set, the value of `transfer.fsckObjects`
|
|
|
|
is used instead.

|
fetch.unpackLimit::
|
2013-01-21 19:17:53 +00:00
|
|
|
If the number of objects fetched over the Git native
|
2007-01-25 00:47:24 +00:00
|
|
|
transfer is below this
|
|
|
|
limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
|
|
|
|
files. However if the number of received objects equals or
|
|
|
|
exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
|
|
|
|
a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
|
|
|
|
pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
|
2008-01-11 21:11:13 +00:00
|
|
|
especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of

If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune`
|
|
|

|
2016-07-01 16:03:31 +00:00

|
|
|
|
which will enable attachments as the default and set the
|

2016-07-30 09:41:56 +00:00
|
|
|
format.from::
|
|
|
|
Provides the default value for the `--from` option to format-patch.
|
|
|
|
Accepts a boolean value, or a name and email address. If false,
|
|
|
|
format-patch defaults to `--no-from`, using commit authors directly in
|
|
|
|
the "From:" field of patch mails. If true, format-patch defaults to
|
|
|
|
`--from`, using your committer identity in the "From:" field of patch
|
|
|
|
mails and including a "From:" field in the body of the patch mail if
|
|
|
|
different. If set to a non-boolean value, format-patch uses that
|
|
|
|
value instead of your committer identity. Defaults to false.

|
|
|
format.numbered::
|
2008-10-02 20:55:39 +00:00
|
|
|
A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch
|
|
|
|
subjects. It defaults to "auto" which enables it only if there
|
|
|
|
is more than one patch. It can be enabled or disabled for all

|
format.subjectPrefix::
|
2009-04-23 09:37:56 +00:00
|
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
|
|
|
|
subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-16 05:59:25 +00:00
|
|
|
format.signature::
|
|
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
|
2013-01-21 19:17:53 +00:00
|
|
|
the Git version number. Use this variable to change that default.
|
2010-06-16 05:59:25 +00:00
|
|
|
Set this variable to the empty string ("") to suppress
|
|
|
|
signature generation.

2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
format.signatureFile::
|
2014-05-24 04:08:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Works just like format.signature except the contents of the
|
|
|
|
file specified by this variable will be used as the signature.

docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

gc --aggressive: make --depth configurable
When 1c192f3 (gc --aggressive: make it really aggressive - 2007-12-06)
made --depth=250 the default value, it didn't really explain the
reason behind, especially the pros and cons of --depth=250.
An old mail from Linus below explains it at length. Long story short,
--depth=250 is a disk saver and a performance killer. Not everybody
agrees on that aggressiveness. Let the user configure it.

But yeah, especially if you allow longer delta chains, the end result can
be much smaller (and what makes the one-time repack more expensive is the
window size, not the delta chain - you could make the delta chains longer
with no cost overhead at packing time)
HOWEVER.
The longer delta chains do make it potentially much more expensive to then
use old history. So there's a trade-off. And quite frankly, a delta depth
of 250 is likely going to cause overflows in the delta cache (which is
only 256 entries in size *and* it's a hash, so it's going to start having
hash conflicts long before hitting the 250 depth limit).
So when I said "--depth=250 --window=250", I chose those numbers more as
an example of extremely aggressive packing, and I'm not at all sure that
the end result is necessarily wonderfully usable. It's going to save disk
space (and network bandwidth - the delta's will be re-used for the network
protocol too!), but there are definitely downsides too, and using long
delta chains may simply not be worth it in practice.
(And some of it might just want to have git tuning, ie if people think
that long deltas are worth it, we could easily just expand on the delta
hash, at the cost of some more memory used!)
That said, the good news is that working with *new* history will not be
affected negatively, and if you want to be _really_ sneaky, there are ways
to say "create a pack that contains the history up to a version one year
ago, and be very aggressive about those old versions that we still want to
have around, but do a separate pack for newer stuff using less aggressive
parameters"
So this is something that can be tweaked, although we don't really have
any really nice interfaces for stuff like that (ie the git delta cache
size is hardcoded in the sources and cannot be set in the config file, and
the "pack old history more aggressively" involves some manual scripting
and knowing how "git pack-objects" works rather than any nice simple
command line switch).
So the thing to take away from this is:
- git is certainly flexible as hell
- .. but to get the full power you may need to tweak things
- .. happily you really only need to have one person to do the tweaking,
and the tweaked end results will be available to others that do not
need to know/care.
And whether the difference between 320MB and 500MB is worth any really
involved tweaking (considering the potential downsides), I really don't
know. Only testing will tell.

gc.aggressiveDepth::
|
|
|
|
The depth parameter used in the delta compression
|
|
|
|
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
|
gc: default aggressive depth to 50
This commit message is long and has lots of background and
numbers. The summary is: the current default of 250 doesn't
save much space, and costs CPU. It's not a good tradeoff.
Read on for details.
The "--aggressive" flag to git-gc does three things:
1. use "-f" to throw out existing deltas and recompute from
scratch
2. use "--window=250" to look harder for deltas
3. use "--depth=250" to make longer delta chains
Items (1) and (2) are good matches for an "aggressive"
repack. They ask the repack to do more computation work in
the hopes of getting a better pack. You pay the costs during
the repack, and other operations see only the benefit.
Item (3) is not so clear. Allowing longer chains means fewer
restrictions on the deltas, which means potentially finding
better ones and saving some space. But it also means that
operations which access the deltas have to follow longer
chains, which affects their performance. So it's a tradeoff,
and it's not clear that the tradeoff is even a good one.
The existing "250" numbers for "--aggressive" come
originally from this thread:
http://public-inbox.org/git/alpine.LFD.0.9999.0712060803430.13796@woody.linux-foundation.org/
where Linus says:
So when I said "--depth=250 --window=250", I chose those
numbers more as an example of extremely aggressive
packing, and I'm not at all sure that the end result is
necessarily wonderfully usable. It's going to save disk
space (and network bandwidth - the delta's will be re-used
for the network protocol too!), but there are definitely
downsides too, and using long delta chains may
simply not be worth it in practice.
There are some numbers in that thread, but they're mostly
focused on the improved window size, and measure the
improvement from --depth=250 and --window=250 together.
E.g.:
http://public-inbox.org/git/9e4733910712062006l651571f3w7f76ce64c6650dff@mail.gmail.com/
talks about the improved run-time of "git-blame", which
comes from the reduced pack size. But most of that reduction
is coming from --window=250, whereas most of the extra costs
come from --depth=250. There's a link in that thread showing
that increasing the depth beyond 50 doesn't seem to help
much with the size:
https://vcscompare.blogspot.com/2008/06/git-repack-parameters.html
but again, no discussion of the timing impact.
In an earlier thread from Ted Ts'o which discussed setting
the non-aggressive default (from 10 to 50):
http://public-inbox.org/git/20070509134958.GA21489%40thunk.org/
we have more numbers, with the conclusion that going past 50
does not help size much, and hurts the speed of normal
operations.
So from that, we might guess that 50 is actually a sweet
spot, even for aggressive, if we interpret aggressive to
"spend time now to make a better pack". It is not clear that
"--depth=250" is actually a better pack. It may be slightly
_smaller_, but it carries a run-time penalty.
Here are some more recent timings I did to verify that. They
show three things:
- the size of the resulting pack (so disk saved to store,
bandwidth saved on clones/fetches)
- the cost of "rev-list --objects --all", which shows the
effect of the delta chains on trees (commits typically
don't delta, and the command doesn't touch the blobs at
all)
- the cost of "log -Sfoo", which will additionally access
each blob
All cases were repacked with "git repack -adf --depth=$d
--window=250" (so basically, what would happen if we tweaked
the "gc --aggressive" default depth).
The timings are all wall-clock best-of-3. The machine itself
has plenty of RAM compared to the repositories (which is
probably typical of most workstations these days), so we're
really measuring CPU usage, as the whole thing will be in
disk cache after the first run.
The core.deltaBaseCacheLimit is at its default of 96MiB.
It's possible that tweaking it would have some impact on the
tests, as some of them (especially "log -S" on a large repo)
are likely to overflow that. But bumping that carries a
run-time memory cost, so for these tests, I focused on what
we could do just with the on-disk pack tradeoffs.
Each test is done for four depths: 250 (the current value),
50 (the current default that tested well previously), 100
(to show something on the larger side, which previous tests
showed was not a good tradeoff), and 10 (the very old
default, which previous tests showed was worse than 50).
Here are the numbers for linux.git:
depth | size | % | rev-list | % | log -Sfoo | %
-------+-------+-------+----------+--------+-----------+-------
250 | 967MB | n/a | 48.159s | n/a | 378.088 | n/a
100 | 971MB | +0.4% | 41.471s | -13.9% | 342.060 | -9.5%
50 | 979MB | +1.2% | 37.778s | -21.6% | 311.040s | -17.7%
10 | 1.1GB | +6.6% | 32.518s | -32.5% | 279.890s | -25.9%
and for git.git:
depth | size | % | rev-list | % | log -Sfoo | %
-------+-------+-------+----------+--------+-----------+-------
250 | 48MB | n/a | 2.215s | n/a | 20.922s | n/a
100 | 49MB | +0.5% | 2.140s | -3.4% | 17.736s | -15.2%
50 | 49MB | +1.7% | 2.099s | -5.2% | 15.418s | -26.3%
10 | 53MB | +9.3% | 2.001s | -9.7% | 12.677s | -39.4%
You can see that that the CPU savings for regular operations improves as we
decrease the depth. The savings are less for "rev-list" on a smaller repository
than they are for blob-accessing operations, or even rev-list on a larger
repository. This may mean that a larger delta cache would help (though setting
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit by itself doesn't).
But we can also see that the space savings are not that great as the depth goes
higher. Saving 5-10% between 10 and 50 is probably worth the CPU tradeoff.
Saving 1% to go from 50 to 100, or another 0.5% to go from 100 to 250 is
probably not.

gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.
Since it is dangerous, we told users so. That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.
Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.
Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation. This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).
If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be
[gc]
pruneExpire = 6.months.ago
or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.
Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.
While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.

grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting
The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.
Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.
When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.

gui.fastCopyBlame::
|
2010-01-07 16:49:12 +00:00
|
|
|
If true, 'git gui blame' uses `-C` instead of `-C -C` for original
|
2008-11-13 17:28:49 +00:00
|
|
|
location detection. It makes blame significantly faster on huge
|

2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.cmd::
|
|
|
|
Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
|
|
|
|
of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
|
|
|
|
mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
|
|
|
|
the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
|
2016-06-07 22:35:06 +00:00
|
|
|
the tool as `GIT_GUITOOL`, the name of the currently selected file as
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
|
|
|
|
the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.needsFile::
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
|
|
|
|
that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.noConsole::
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
|
|
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.noRescan::
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
|
|
|
|
finishes execution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.confirm::
|
|
|
|
Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.argPrompt::
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
|
2016-06-07 22:35:07 +00:00
|
|
|
through the `ARGS` environment variable. Since requesting an
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
|
|
|
|
if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
|
|
|
|
the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
|
|
|
|
value of the variable is used.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.revPrompt::
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
|
2016-06-07 22:35:07 +00:00
|
|
|
`REVISION` environment variable. In other aspects this option
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
is similar to 'argPrompt', and can be used together with it.
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.revUnmerged::
|
|
|
|
Show only unmerged branches in the 'revPrompt' subdialog.
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
|
|
|
|
for things like checkout or reset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.title::
|
|
|
|
Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
|
|
|
|
is the tool name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.prompt::
|
|
|
|
Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
the dialog, before subsections for 'argPrompt' and 'revPrompt'.
|
2008-12-14 19:44:32 +00:00
|
|
|
The default value includes the actual command.
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-08 03:55:14 +00:00
|
|
|
help.browser::
|
|
|
|
Specify the browser that will be used to display help in the
|
|
|
|
'web' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
help.format::
|
|
|
|
Override the default help format used by linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
Values 'man', 'info', 'web' and 'html' are supported. 'man' is
|
|
|
|
the default. 'web' and 'html' are the same.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
help.autoCorrect::
|
2008-08-31 13:54:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Automatically correct and execute mistyped commands after
|
|
|
|
waiting for the given number of deciseconds (0.1 sec). If more
|
|
|
|
than one command can be deduced from the entered text, nothing
|
|
|
|
will be executed. If the value of this option is negative,
|
|
|
|
the corrected command will be executed immediately. If the
|
|
|
|
value is 0 - the command will be just shown but not executed.
|
|
|
|
This is the default.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
help.htmlPath::
|
2013-01-15 20:56:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Specify the path where the HTML documentation resides. File system paths
|
|
|
|
and URLs are supported. HTML pages will be prefixed with this path when
|
|
|
|
help is displayed in the 'web' format. This defaults to the documentation
|
|
|
|
path of your Git installation.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-11-23 00:07:00 +00:00
|
|
|
http.proxy::
|
2012-03-04 16:50:43 +00:00
|
|
|
Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
|
http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication
Currently, the only way to pass proxy credentials to curl is by including them
in the proxy URL. Usually, this means they will end up on disk unencrypted, one
way or another (by inclusion in ~/.gitconfig, shell profile or history). Since
proxy authentication often uses a domain user, credentials can be security
sensitive; therefore, a safer way of passing credentials is desirable.
If the configured proxy contains a username but not a password, query the
credential API for one. Also, make sure we approve/reject proxy credentials
properly.
For consistency reasons, add parsing of http_proxy/https_proxy/all_proxy
environment variables, which would otherwise be evaluated as a fallback by curl.
Without this, we would have different semantics for git configuration and
environment variables.

'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
|
|
|
|
addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
|
|
|
|
proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
|
|
|
|
attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
|
|
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
|
|
|
|
'[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port]'. This can be overridden
|
|
|
|
on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy

2016-01-26 13:02:47 +00:00
|
|
|
http.proxyAuthMethod::
|
|
|
|
Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
|
|
|
|
only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
|
|
|
|
(i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
|
|
|
|
overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
|
2016-06-07 22:35:06 +00:00

Both can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD` environment
|
2016-01-26 13:02:47 +00:00

variable. Possible values are:

|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
|
|
|
|
assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
|
|
|
|
status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
|
|
|
|
authentication methods. This is the default.
|
|
|
|
* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
|
|
|
|
* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
|
|
|
|
transmitted to the proxy in clear text
|
|
|
|
* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
|
|

http.emptyAuth::
|
|
|
|
Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password. This
|
|
|
|
can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying

|
|
|
a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for

by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7. Set parameter to tell
|
|
|
|
the server what it is allowed to delegate when it comes to user

|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* `none` - Don't allow any delegation.
|

|
|
Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server. If
|
|
|
|
more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
|
|
|

|
|
which should be used
|
2013-01-21 19:17:53 +00:00
|

want to force the default. The available and default version
|
|
|
|
depend on whether libcurl was built against NSS or OpenSSL and the

|
particular configuration of the crypto library in use. Internally
|
|

http.userAgent::
|
2010-08-11 20:40:38 +00:00

|
|
The HTTP USER_AGENT string presented to an HTTP server. The default
|
2013-01-21 19:17:53 +00:00
|
|
|
value represents the version of the client Git such as git/1.7.1.
|
2010-08-11 20:40:38 +00:00
|
|
|
This option allows you to override this value to a more common value
|
|
|
|
such as Mozilla/4.0. This may be necessary, for instance, if
|
|
|
|
connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set
|
|
|
|
of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1).
|
2016-06-07 22:35:06 +00:00
|
|
|
Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable.

|
2013-08-05 20:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
http.<url>.*::
|
2014-11-03 20:37:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
|
2013-08-05 20:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
|
|
|
|
compared to that of the URL, in the following order:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
|
|
|
|
must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
|
|
|
|
This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`).
|
|
|
|
This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
|
|
|
|
Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
|
|
|
|
default for the scheme before matching.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
|
|
|
|
path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL
|
|
|
|
either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means
|
|
|
|
a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only
|
|
|
|
match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config
|
|
|
|
key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
|
|
|
|
key with just path `foo/`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`). If
|
|
|
|
the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the
|
|
|
|
URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that
|
|
|
|
config key will match a URL with any user name (including none),
|
|
|
|
but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name.
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
|
|
|
|
a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example,
|
|
|
|
if the URL is `https://user@example.com/foo/bar` a config key match of
|
|
|
|
`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of
|
|
|
|
`https://user@example.com`.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part,
|
|
|
|
if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that
|
2014-11-03 20:37:07 +00:00
|
|
|
equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly.
|
|
|
|
Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are
|
2013-08-05 20:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs
|
|
|
|
visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching.

importing commits from emails or in the gitk graphical history

browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other

docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

|
|
|
mailmap.blob::
|
|
|
|
Like `mailmap.file`, but consider the value as a reference to a
|
mailmap: default mailmap.blob in bare repositories
The motivation for mailmap.blob is to let users of bare
repositories use the mailmap feature, as they would not have
a checkout containing the .mailmap file. We can make it even
easier for them by just looking in HEAD:.mailmap by default.
We can't know for sure that this is where they would keep a
mailmap, of course, but it is the best guess (and it matches
the non-bare behavior, which reads from HEAD:.mailmap in the
working tree). If it's missing, git will silently ignore the
setting.
We do not do the same magic in the non-bare case, because:
1. In the common case, HEAD:.mailmap will be the same as
the .mailmap in the working tree, which is a no-op.
2. In the uncommon case, the user has modified .mailmap
but not yet committed it, and would expect the working
tree version to take precedence.

`mailmap.file` taking precedence. In a bare repository, this

defaults to `HEAD:.mailmap`. In a non-bare repository, it

mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode::
|
|
|
|
For a custom merge command, specify whether the exit code of
|
|
|
|
the merge command can be used to determine whether the merge was
|
|
|
|
successful. If this is not set to true then the merge target file

mergetool.meld.hasOutput::
|
|
|
|
Older versions of `meld` do not support the `--output` option.
|
|
|
|
Git will attempt to detect whether `meld` supports `--output`
|
|
|
|
by inspecting the output of `meld --help`. Configuring
|
|
|
|
`mergetool.meld.hasOutput` will make Git skip these checks and
|
|
|
|
use the configured value instead. Setting `mergetool.meld.hasOutput`
|
|
|
|
to `true` tells Git to unconditionally use the `--output` option,
|
|
|
|
and `false` avoids using `--output`.

can be saved as a file with a `.orig` extension. If this variable
|
|
|
|
is set to `false` then this file is not preserved. Defaults to

When invoking a custom merge tool, Git uses a set of temporary
|
2008-12-12 21:48:41 +00:00

Custom compression levels for objects and packs
Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.
Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level".
Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.
Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes, since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.
In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.
This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre:

pack.compression::
|

An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects

This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not

transport: drop support for git-over-rsync
The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and
has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than
it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/",
regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc
parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but
doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones,
leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side
to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry,
or complaining that the other side has two copies of the
refs[1]).
This latter breakage means that nobody could have
successfully pulled from a moderately active repository
since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01).
We never made an official deprecation notice in the release
notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked
it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30).
And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find
Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite
some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had
deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did
come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!).
Of course some people professed their love of rsync through
2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]:
> Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though
> everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is
> deprecated."
No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing
something _wrong_.
The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a
mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7].
Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4)
lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal
warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken
since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without
further deprecation warnings.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing
it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together
with the `.idx` index that currently gets written.
If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling
`pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having
`pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is
writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to
stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the
packfile.
Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been
successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is
performed in several steps:
1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial
checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be
written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity
2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of
`struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out
the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps
(one for each object type).
These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of
the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be
1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit.
This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has
access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array,
and hence the real type for each object in the packfile.
3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap
index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call
will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be
reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored
in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will
prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly
to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to
fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a
repository that already has bitmaps.
4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for
a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated
during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array.
We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits.
Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository
would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick
the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps.
The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's
original implementation. We select a higher density of commits
depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always
selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap
increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure
that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips
that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and
when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the
commit with the most parents.
Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit
selection; different selection algorithms will result in
different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as
"missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in
`prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by
performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal
selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are
more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g.
the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them
is always available.
5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part
of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were
selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental
walks to generate the bitmap for each commit.
The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up
incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B,
C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk
of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps.
A---a---B--b--C--c--D
\
E--e--F
We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a
revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable
until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the
bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we
reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already
been SEEN on the previous walk.
This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to
generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk
nor the bitmap we have generated so far.
What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the
bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the
origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed.
Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored
for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed
so far, allowing us to limit the walk early.
After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration
through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR
offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of
the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with
its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the
time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and
then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when
loaded.
This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using
bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics
have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before
any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good
results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of
the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile.
6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is
serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated
in the two previous steps.
The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to
its final destination, using the same process as
`pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.
In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.
As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.
The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.
But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.
This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.
Here are perf results for p5310:

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap

docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,

* `nothing` - do not push anything (error out) unless a refspec is
|
|
|
|
explicitly given. This is primarily meant for people who want to
|
|
|
|
avoid mistakes by always being explicit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `current` - push the current branch to update a branch with the same
|
|
|
|
name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central
|
|
|
|
workflows.
|
|
|
|

|
|
* `upstream` - push the current branch back to the branch whose
|
|
|
|
changes are usually integrated into the current branch (which is
|
|
|
|
called `@{upstream}`). This mode only makes sense if you are
|

|
pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from
|
|
|
|
(i.e. central workflow).

|
|
|
|

When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally
|
|
|

pull from, work as `current`. This is the safest option and is suited
|
|
|
|
for beginners.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `matching` - push all branches having the same name on both ends.
|
|
|
|
This makes the repository you are pushing to remember the set of
|
|
|
|
branches that will be pushed out (e.g. if you always push 'maint'
|
|
|
|
and 'master' there and no other branches, the repository you push
|
|
|
|
to will have these two branches, and your local 'maint' and
|
|
|
|
'master' will be pushed there).
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
To use this mode effectively, you have to make sure _all_ the
|
|
|
|
branches you would push out are ready to be pushed out before
|
|
|
|
running 'git push', as the whole point of this mode is to allow you
|
|
|
|
to push all of the branches in one go. If you usually finish work
|
|
|
|
on only one branch and push out the result, while other branches are
|
|
|
|
unfinished, this mode is not for you. Also this mode is not
|
|
|
|
suitable for pushing into a shared central repository, as other
|
|
|
|
people may add new branches there, or update the tip of existing
|
|
|
|
branches outside your control.

then Git will verify that all submodule commits that changed in the

revisions to be pushed are available on at least one remote of the

submodule. If any commits are missing, the push will be aborted and

signed push: allow stale nonce in stateless mode
When operating with the stateless RPC mode, we will receive a nonce
issued by another instance of us that advertised our capability and
refs some time ago. Update the logic to check received nonce to
detect this case, compute how much time has passed since the nonce
was issued and report the status with a new environment variable
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP to the hooks.
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS will report "SLOP" in such a case. The
hooks are free to decide how large a slop it is willing to accept.
Strictly speaking, the "nonce" is not really a "nonce" anymore in
the stateless RPC mode, as it will happily take any "nonce" issued
by it (which is protected by HMAC and its secret key) as long as it
is fresh enough. The degree of this security degradation, relative
to the native protocol, is about the same as the "we make sure that
the 'git push' decided to update our refs with new objects based on
the freshest observation of our refs by making sure the values they
claim the original value of the refs they ask us to update exactly
match the current state" security is loosened to accomodate the
stateless RPC mode in the existing code without this series, so
there is no need for those who are already using smart HTTP to push
to their repositories to be alarmed any more than they already are.
In addition, the server operator can set receive.certnonceslop
configuration variable to specify how stale a nonce can be (in
seconds). When this variable is set, and if the nonce received in
the certificate that passes the HMAC check was less than that many
seconds old, hooks are given "OK" in GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS
(instead of "SLOP") and the received nonce value is given in
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE, which makes it easier for a simple-minded
hook to check if the certificate we received is recent enough.

receive-pack: send keepalives during quiet periods
After a client has sent us the complete pack, we may spend
some time processing the data and running hooks. If the
client asked us to be quiet, receive-pack won't send any
progress data during the index-pack or connectivity-check
steps. And hooks may or may not produce their own progress
output. In these cases, the network connection is totally
silent from both ends.
Git itself doesn't care about this (it will wait forever),
but other parts of the system (e.g., firewalls,
load-balancers, etc) might hang up the connection. So we'd
like to send some sort of keepalive to let the network and
the client side know that we're still alive and processing.
We can use the same trick we did in 05e9515 (upload-pack:
send keepalive packets during pack computation, 2013-09-08).
Namely, we will send an empty sideband data packet every `N`
seconds that we do not relay any stderr data over the
sideband channel. As with 05e9515, this means that we won't
bother sending keepalives when there's actual progress data,
but will kick in when it has been disabled (or if there is a
lull in the progress data).
The concept is simple, but the details are subtle enough
that they need discussing here.
Before the client sends us the pack, we don't want to do any
keepalives. We'll have sent our ref advertisement, and we're
waiting for them to send us the pack (and tell us that they
support sidebands at all).
While we're receiving the pack from the client (or waiting
for it to start), there's no need for keepalives; it's up to
them to keep the connection active by sending data.
Moreover, it would be wrong for us to do so. When we are the
server in the smart-http protocol, we must treat our
connection as half-duplex. So any keepalives we send while
receiving the pack would potentially be buffered by the
webserver. Not only does this make them useless (since they
would not be delivered in a timely manner), but it could
actually cause a deadlock if we fill up the buffer with
keepalives. (It wouldn't be wrong to send keepalives in this
phase for a full-duplex connection like ssh; it's simply
pointless, as it is the client's responsibility to speak).
As soon as we've gotten all of the pack data, then the
client is waiting for us to speak, and we should start
keepalives immediately. From here until the end of the
connection, we send one any time we are not otherwise
sending data.
But there's a catch. Receive-pack doesn't know the moment
we've gotten all the data. It passes the descriptor to
index-pack, who reads all of the data, and then starts
resolving the deltas. We have to communicate that back.
To make this work, we instruct the sideband muxer to enable
keepalives in three phases:
1. In the beginning, not at all.
2. While reading from index-pack, wait for a signal
indicating end-of-input, and then start them.
3. Afterwards, always.
The signal from index-pack in phase 2 has to come over the
stderr channel which the muxer is reading. We can't use an
extra pipe because the portable run-command interface only
gives us stderr and stdout.
Stdout is already used to pass the .keep filename back to
receive-pack. We could also send a signal there, but then we
would find out about it in the main thread. And the
keepalive needs to be done by the async muxer thread (since
it's the one writing sideband data back to the client). And
we can't reliably signal the async thread from the main
thread, because the async code sometimes uses threads and
sometimes uses forked processes.
Therefore the signal must come over the stderr channel,
where it may be interspersed with other random
human-readable messages from index-pack. This patch makes
the signal a single NUL byte. This is easy to parse, should
not appear in any normal stderr output, and we don't have to
worry about any timing issues (like seeing half the signal
bytes in one read(), and half in a subsequent one).
This is a bit ugly, but it's simple to code and should work
reliably.
Another option would be to stop using an async thread for
muxing entirely, and just poll() both stderr and stdout of
index-pack from the main thread. This would work for
index-pack (because we aren't doing anything useful in the
main thread while it runs anyway). But it would make the
connectivity check and the hook muxers much more
complicated, as they need to simultaneously feed the
sub-programs while reading their stderr.
The index-pack phase is the only one that needs this
signaling, so it could simply behave differently than the
other two. That would mean having two separate
implementations of copy_to_sideband (and the keepalive
code), though. And it still doesn't get rid of the
signaling; it just means we can write a nicer message like
"END_OF_INPUT" or something on stdout, since we don't have
to worry about separating it from the stderr cruft.
One final note: this signaling trick is only done with
index-pack, not with unpack-objects. There's no point in
doing it for the latter, because by definition it only kicks
in for a small number of objects, where keepalives are not
as useful (and this conveniently lets us avoid duplicating
the implementation).

upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.
Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.
Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).
Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This
is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

fetch --prune: prune only based on explicit refspecs
The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being
fetched. In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only
to be fetched, but also to be pruned. This is inappropriate because
there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local
repository and all remotes. Therefore, if the user defines a local
tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is
deleted. Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via
fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it
even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in
tag lossage.
Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the
same problem.
The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the
setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent
with that of the other commands.
So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags. To fix this
problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on
refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line
or via remote.<name>.fetch. Thus, tags are no longer made subject to
pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.
However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as
part of a refspec, and that is good. For example:
* On the command line,
git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is
therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old
behavior of "--prune --tag".
* For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the
configuration is set to include
[remote "name"]
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
, which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other
references. This is the behavior that will typically be desired for
a mirror.

repack: add `repack.packKeptObjects` config var
The git-repack command always passes `--honor-pack-keep`
to pack-objects. This has traditionally been a good thing,
as we do not want to duplicate those objects in a new pack,
and we are not going to delete the old pack.
However, when bitmaps are in use, it is important for a full
repack to include all reachable objects, even if they may be
duplicated in a .keep pack. Otherwise, we cannot generate
the bitmaps, as the on-disk format requires the set of
objects in the pack to be fully closed.
Even if the repository does not generally have .keep files,
a simultaneous push could cause a race condition in which a
.keep file exists at the moment of a repack. The repack may
try to include those objects in one of two situations:
1. The pushed .keep pack contains objects that were
already in the repository (e.g., blobs due to a revert of
an old commit).
2. Receive-pack updates the refs, making the objects
reachable, but before it removes the .keep file, the
repack runs.
In either case, we may prefer to duplicate some objects in
the new, full pack, and let the next repack (after the .keep
file is cleaned up) take care of removing them.
This patch introduces both a command-line and config option
to disable the `--honor-pack-keep` option. By default, it
is triggered when pack.writeBitmaps (or `--write-bitmap-index`
is turned on), but specifying it explicitly can override the
behavior (e.g., in cases where you prefer .keep files to
bitmaps, but only when they are present).
Note that this option just disables the pack-objects
behavior. We still leave packs with a .keep in place, as we
do not necessarily know that we have duplicated all of their
objects.

submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes
The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1). Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1. This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.
However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject. Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:
$ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'
With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates. When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch. If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`. You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).
Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================
Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option. The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in
commit f030c96d8643fa0a1a9b2bd9c2f36a77721fb61f

git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.
Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same. The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls. The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`. Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.
Implementation details
======================
In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1. However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:
if test -z "$nofetch"
then
# Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
# is not reachable from a ref.
(clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
fi
There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository. If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

|
refs: support negative transfer.hideRefs
If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs
config, there is no way to later override that config to
"unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which
causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if
another match would hide it. We take care to apply the
matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the
config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins"
config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for
example, will override /etc/gitconfig).
So you can now do:
$ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret
$ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret'
to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit
in one specific repo. Or you can even do:
$ git clone \
-u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \
remote:repo.git
to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has
configured.
There are two alternatives that were considered and
rejected:
1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a
list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo").
This is nice because it could apply to other
multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as
flexible. There is no way to say:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
Having explicit negative specifications means we can
override previous entries, even if they are not the
same literal string.
2. Adding another variable to override some parts of
hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs").
This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it
cannot easily obey the normal config precedence,
because it would use two separate lists. For example:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret
With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules
first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that
does not match what the above config intends.
Of course we could internally parse that to a single
list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to
invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name
communicates to the user that the ordering _is_
important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and
should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is
actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here
should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").

|
You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry,
|
|
|
|
explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden.
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones
|
|
|
|
(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones).

|
|
If a namespace is in use, the namespace prefix is stripped from each
|
|
|
|
reference before it is matched against `transfer.hiderefs` patterns.
|
|
|
|
For example, if `refs/heads/master` is specified in `transfer.hideRefs` and
|
|
|
|
the current namespace is `foo`, then `refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master`
|
|
|
|
is omitted from the advertisements but `refs/heads/master` and
|
|
|
|
`refs/namespaces/bar/refs/heads/master` are still advertised as so-called
|
2015-11-03 07:58:16 +00:00
|
|
|
"have" lines. In order to match refs before stripping, add a `^` in front of
|
|
|
|
the ref name. If you combine `!` and `^`, `!` must be specified first.
|
upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.
Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.
Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).
Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This
is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

add uploadarchive.allowUnreachable option
In commit ee27ca4, we started restricting remote git-archive
invocations to only accessing reachable commits. This
matches what upload-pack allows, but does restrict some
useful cases (e.g., HEAD:foo). We loosened this in 0f544ee,
which allows `foo:bar` as long as `foo` is a ref tip.
However, that still doesn't allow many useful things, like:
1. Commits accessible from a ref, like `foo^:bar`, which
are reachable
2. Arbitrary sha1s, even if they are reachable.
We can do a full object-reachability check for these cases,
but it can be quite expensive if the client has sent us the
sha1 of a tree; we have to visit every sub-tree of every
commit in the worst case.
Let's instead give site admins an escape hatch, in case they
prefer the more liberal behavior. For many sites, the full
object database is public anyway (e.g., if you allow dumb
walker access), or the site admin may simply decide the
security/convenience tradeoff is not worth it.
This patch adds a new config option to disable the
restrictions added in ee27ca4. It defaults to off, meaning
there is no change in behavior by default.

upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.
Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.
Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).
Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This
is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for an
|

object that is reachable from any ref tip. However, note that
|
|
|

calculating object reachability is computationally expensive.

uploadpack.keepAlive::
|
2013-09-08 09:01:31 +00:00
|
|
|
When `upload-pack` has started `pack-objects`, there may be a
|
|
|
|
quiet period while `pack-objects` prepares the pack. Normally
|
|
|
|
it would output progress information, but if `--quiet` was used
|
|
|
|
for the fetch, `pack-objects` will output nothing at all until
|
|
|
|
the pack data begins. Some clients and networks may consider
|
|
|
|
the server to be hung and give up. Setting this option instructs
|
|
|
|
`upload-pack` to send an empty keepalive packet every
|
2015-03-11 20:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
`uploadpack.keepAlive` seconds. Setting this option to 0
|
2013-09-08 09:02:06 +00:00
|
|
|
disables keepalive packets entirely. The default is 5 seconds.

upload-pack: provide a hook for running pack-objects
When upload-pack serves a client request, it turns to
pack-objects to do the heavy lifting of creating a
packfile. There's no easy way to intercept the call to
pack-objects, but there are a few good reasons to want to do
so:
1. If you're debugging a client or server issue with
fetching, you may want to store a copy of the generated
packfile.
2. If you're gathering data from real-world fetches for
performance analysis or debugging, storing a copy of
the arguments and stdin lets you replay the pack
generation at your leisure.
3. You may want to insert a caching layer around
pack-objects; it is the most CPU- and memory-intensive
part of serving a fetch, and its output is a pure
function[1] of its input, making it an ideal place to
consolidate identical requests.
This patch adds a simple "hook" interface to intercept calls
to pack-objects. The new test demonstrates how it can be
used for debugging (using it for caching is a
straightforward extension; the tricky part is writing the
actual caching layer).
This hook is unlike the normal hook scripts found in the
"hooks/" directory of a repository. Because we promise that
upload-pack is safe to run in an untrusted repository, we
cannot execute arbitrary code or commands found in the
repository (neither in hooks/, nor in the config). So
instead, this hook is triggered from a config variable that
is explicitly ignored in the per-repo config.
The config variable holds the actual shell command to run as
the hook. Another approach would be to simply treat it as a
boolean: "should I respect the upload-pack hooks in this
repo?", and then run the script from "hooks/" as we usually
do. However, that isn't as flexible; there's no way to run a
hook approved by the site administrator (e.g., in
"/etc/gitconfig") on a repository whose contents are not
trusted. The approach taken by this patch is more
fine-grained, if a little less conventional for git hooks
(it does behave similar to other configured commands like
diff.external, etc).
[1] Pack-objects isn't _actually_ a pure function. Its
output depends on the exact packing of the object
database, and if multi-threading is used for delta
compression, can even differ racily. But for the
purposes of caching, that's OK; of the many possible
outputs for a given input, it is sufficient only that we
output one of them.

uploadpack.packObjectsHook::
|
|
|
|
If this option is set, when `upload-pack` would run
|
|
|
|
`git pack-objects` to create a packfile for a client, it will
|
|
|
|
run this shell command instead. The `pack-objects` command and
|
|
|
|
arguments it _would_ have run (including the `git pack-objects`
|
|
|
|
at the beginning) are appended to the shell command. The stdin
|
|
|
|
and stdout of the hook are treated as if `pack-objects` itself
|
|
|
|
was run. I.e., `upload-pack` will feed input intended for
|
|
|
|
`pack-objects` to the hook, and expects a completed packfile on
|
|
|
|
stdout.

Note that this configuration variable is ignored if it is seen in the

|
untrusted repositories).

This variable can be specified multiple times, once per suffix. The
