There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files
are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a
Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code
to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has
been updated to fix them.
* jk/setup-sequence-update:
t1007: factor out repeated setup
init: reset cached config when entering new repo
init: expand comments explaining config trickery
config: only read .git/config from configured repos
test-config: setup git directory
t1302: use "git -C"
pager: handle early config
pager: use callbacks instead of configset
pager: make pager_program a file-local static
pager: stop loading git_default_config()
pager: remove obsolete comment
diff: always try to set up the repository
diff: handle --no-index prefixes consistently
diff: skip implicit no-index check when given --no-index
patch-id: use RUN_SETUP_GENTLY
hash-object: always try to set up the git repository
After we copy the templates into place, we re-read the
config in case we copied in a default config file. But since
git_config() is backed by a cache these days, it's possible
that the call will not actually touch the filesystem at all;
we need to tell it that something has changed behind the
scenes.
Note that we also need to reset the shared_repository
config. At first glance, it seems like this should probably
just be folded into git_config_clear(). But unfortunately
that is not quite right. The shared repository value may
come from config, _or_ it may have been set manually. So
only the caller who knows whether or not they set it is the
one who can clear it (and indeed, if you _do_ put it into
git_config_clear(), then many tests fail, as we have to
clear the config cache any time we set a new config
variable).
There are three tests here. The first two actually pass
already, though it's largely luck: they just don't happen to
actually read any config before we enter the new repo.
But the third one does fail without this patch; we look at
core.sharedrepository while creating the directory, but need
to make sure the value from the template config overrides
it.

When git_config() runs, it looks in the system, user-wide,
and repo-level config files. It gets the latter by calling
git_pathdup(), which in turn calls get_git_dir(). If we
haven't set up the git repository yet, this may simply
return ".git", and we will look at ".git/config". This
seems like it would be helpful (presumably we haven't set up
the repository yet, so it tries to find it), but it turns
out to be a bad idea for a few reasons:
- it's not sufficient, and therefore hides bugs in a
confusing way. Config will be respected if commands are
run from the top-level of the working tree, but not from
a subdirectory.
- it's not always true that we haven't set up the
repository _yet_; we may not want to do it at all. For
instance, if you run "git init /some/path" from inside
another repository, it should not load config from the
existing repository.
- there might be a path ".git/config", but it is not the
actual repository we would find via setup_git_directory().
This may happen, e.g., if you are storing a git
repository inside another git repository, but have
munged one of the files in such a way that the
inner repository is not valid (e.g., by removing HEAD).
We have at least two bugs of the second type in git-init,
introduced by ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository,
2016-03-11). It causes init to use git_configset(), which
loads all of the config, including values from the current
repo (if any). This shows up in two ways:
1. If we happen to be in an existing repository directory,
we'll read and respect core.sharedrepository from it,
even though it should have no bearing on the new
repository. A new test in t1301 covers this.
2. Similarly, if we're in an existing repo that sets
core.logallrefupdates, that will cause init to fail to
set it in a newly created repository (because it thinks
that the user's templates already did so). A new test
in t0001 covers this.
We also need to adjust an existing test in t1302, which
gives another example of why this patch is an improvement.
That test creates an embedded repository with a bogus
core.repositoryformatversion of "99". It wants to make sure
that we actually stop at the bogus repo rather than
continuing upward to find the outer repo. So it checks that
"git config core.repositoryformatversion" returns 99. But
that only works because we blindly read ".git/config", even
though we _know_ we're in a repository whose vintage we do
not understand.
After this patch, we avoid reading config from the unknown
vintage repository at all, which is a safer choice. But we
need to tweak the test, since core.repositoryformatversion
will not return 99; it will claim that it could not find the
variable at all.

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.
For details how ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED can be triggered, see

Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in

This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to
specify hooks on init time via init templates.
The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can
be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to
apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the
system.
I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create

The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of
check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the
other values we check there. Something like
core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo
config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user
config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by
default).
So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config.
Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22)
says:
[...]the config variable is set in the function which
checks the repository format. If this were done in
git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need
to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config)
first.
This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up
our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset
infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a
single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand.
This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems
with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called,
but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we
were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would
not have been set by check_repository_format_version!). The
trickiest caller is git-init, but it handles the values
manually itself.

Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was
found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure,
which records some parts of the setup_git_directory()
process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or
not).
One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave
appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the
startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by
the main program, and the only program that sets it up is
the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to
startup_info, but externally linked programs do not.
Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be
careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to
trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1():
$ git fast-import <<-\EOF
tag foo
from HEAD:./whatever
EOF
fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized.
Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to
fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there
may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins
resolve sha1s.
So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static
variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the
library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular
extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the
existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection
in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as
they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the
test covering this case, which was a rather artificial
situation using one of the test-* programs).

computation, and removes many sprintf and strcpy calls which
make it harder to audit the code for real buffer overflows.

Running an aliased command from a subdirectory when the .git thing
in the working tree is a gitfile pointing elsewhere did not work.
* nd/export-worktree:
setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR
In the test case, we run setup_git_dir_gently() the first time to read
$GIT_DIR/config so that we can resolve aliases. We'll enter
setup_discovered_git_dir() and may or may not call set_git_dir() near
the end of the function, depending on whether the detected git dir is
".git" or not. This set_git_dir() will set env var $GIT_DIR.
For normal repo, git dir detected via setup_discovered_git_dir() will be
".git", and set_git_dir() is not called. If .git file is used however,
the git dir can't be ".git" and set_git_dir() is called and $GIT_DIR
set. This is the key of this problem.
If we expand an alias (or autocorrect command names), then
setup_git_dir_gently() is run the second time. If $GIT_DIR is not set in
the first run, we run the same setup_discovered_git_dir() as before.
Nothing to see. If it is, however, we'll enter setup_explicit_git_dir()
this time.
This is where the "fun" is. If $GIT_WORK_TREE is not set but
$GIT_DIR is, you are supposed to be at the root level of the
worktree. But if you are in a subdir "foo/bar" (real worktree's top
is "foo"), this rule bites you: your detected worktree is now
"foo/bar", even though the first run correctly detected worktree as
"foo". You get "internal error: work tree has already been set" as a
result.
Bottom line is, when $GIT_DIR is set, $GIT_WORK_TREE should be set too
unless there's no work tree. But setting $GIT_WORK_TREE inside
set_git_dir() may backfire. We don't know at that point if work tree is
already configured by the caller. So set it when work tree is
detected. It does not harm if $GIT_WORK_TREE is set while $GIT_DIR is
not.

If this extension is used in a repository, then no
operations should run which may drop objects from the object
storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage
with other repositories whose refs you cannot see.
For instance, if you do:
$ git clone -s parent child
$ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true
$ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1
you now have additional safety when running git in the
parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an
error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will
continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations).
Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will
fail on every operation.
Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by
default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks
backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should
make explicitly.

Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore
broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed
with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better
for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to
silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are
computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune
objects).
These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that
ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For
instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to
inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it
would in turn have to tell the revision code that our
"--all" should include broken refs.
It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous"
operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as
the restricted names are rather obscure and almost

This variable is intended to support multiple working directories
attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working
directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more
linked working directories. These working directories and the main
repository share the same repository directory.
In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point
to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused
subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the
repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point:
- worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level
refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR.
- the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow...
are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's
a separate patch)
Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse
--git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR"
business.
The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and
strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR,
not the other way around in case a developer adds a new
worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared
across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party
commands)
The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are:

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via
environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or
git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use
get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file()
respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for
example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in
sha1_file.c).
This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those
environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar,
git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done
for the two remaining env variables.
"git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use.
This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup

here would result in infinite recursion:

-> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set
yet -> setup_git_env()
I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path().
But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is

replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

When core.commentChar is "auto", the comment char starts with '#' as
in default but if it's already in the prepared message, find another
char in a small subset. This should stop surprises because git strips
some lines unexpectedly.
Note that git is not smart enough to recognize '#' as the comment char
in custom templates and convert it if the final comment char is
different. It thinks '#' lines in custom templates as part of the
commit message. So don't use this with custom templates.

Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden,
primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted
and we did not bother supporting such usage. This attempts to allow
object transfer out of a shallow-cloned repository in a controlled

history).

This may be needed when a hook is run after a new shallow pack is
received, but .git/shallow is not settled yet. A temporary shallow
file to plug all loose ends should be used instead. GIT_SHALLOW_FILE
is overriden by --shallow-file.
--shallow-file does not work in this case because the hook may spawn
many git subprocesses and the launch commands do not have
--shallow-file as it's a recent addition.

If somebody wants to only know on-disk footprint of an object
without having to know its type or payload size, we can bypass a
lot of code to cheaply learn it.
* jk/cat-file-batch-optim:
Fix some sparse warnings
sha1_object_info_extended: pass object_info to helpers
sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional
packed_object_info: make type lookup optional
packed_object_info: hoist delta type resolution to helper
sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional
sha1_object_info_extended: rename "status" to "type"
cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().
Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.
With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:
$ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
$ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects
on the linux.git repository:
real 1m13.494s
user 0m25.924s
sys 0m47.532s
If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:
real 0m54.697s
user 0m21.692s
sys 0m32.916s
but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:
real 0m7.452s
user 0m6.836s
sys 0m0.608s
This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that
callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for
the warning.

An aliased command spawned from a bare repository that does not say
it is bare with "core.bare = yes" is treated as non-bare by mistake.
* jk/alias-in-bare:
setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos
environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_env
cache.h: drop LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:
GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status
would compare against the cwd.
Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails, as we expect
git config alias.st status
git status ;# does not fail, but should
What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.
It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).
You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails
git --bare status ;# does NOT fail
We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.
Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.
The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within
the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever
GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared.
In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of
the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared
actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing
to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing.
While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT

We keep a static array of variables that should be cleared
when invoking a sub-process on another repo. We statically
size the array with the LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE macro so that
any readers do not have to count it themselves.
As it turns out, no readers actually use the macro, and it
creates a maintenance headache, as modifications to the
array need to happen in two places (one to add the new
element, and another to bump the size).
Since it's NULL-terminated, we can just drop the size macro
entirely. While we're at it, we'll clean up some comments
around it, and add a new mention of it at the top of the
list of environment variable macros. Even though
local_repo_env is right below that list, it's easy to miss,
and additions to that list should consider local_repo_env.

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.

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.

This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry
it is interested in. Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if
the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by
another function since the second call to git_config may reset some
variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden.
The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to
git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not
assigned outside of the parsing function. But a programmer who desires
all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify
git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it
_would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior.
So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and
move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main
config file parser.

Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.
Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.
Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.
Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

In a repository without object replacement, lookup_replace_object() should
be a no-op. Check the flag "read_replace_refs" on the side of the caller,
and bypess a function call when we know we are not dealing with replacement.
Also, even when we are set up to replace objects, if we do not find any
replacement defined, flip that flag off to avoid function call overhead
for all the later object accesses.
As this change the semantics of the flag from "do we need read the
replacement definition?" to "do we need to check with the lookup table?"

Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing,
but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what
kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent. Besides, there are many
codepaths that want to use their own local "char *eol" variable to point
at the end of the current line they are processing.
This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration
variable. Name it as such.

The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.
These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.
We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.
This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

This reverts commit 72a5b561fc, as adding

get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare,
GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting.
Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and
GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set
(which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases,
only core.bare matters.
Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree()
behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is
done.
Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to
ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree
early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no
need to set worktree.

getenv(3) returns not-permanent buffer which may be changed by e.g.
putenv(3) call (*).
In practice I've noticed this when trying to do `git commit -m abc`
inside msysgit under wine, getting
$ git commit -m abc
fatal: could not open 'DIR=.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG': No such file or directory
^^^^
(notice introduced 'DIR=' artifact.)
The problem was showing itself only with -m option, and actually, as
debugging showed, originally
git_dir = getenv("GIT_DIR")
returned pointer to
"GIT_DIR=.git\0"
^
git_dir
, we stored it in git_dir, than, after processing -m git-commit option,
we did setenv("GIT_EDITOR", ":") which as (*) says changed environment
variables memory layout - something like this
"...\0GIT_DIR=.git\0"
^
git_dir
and oops - we got wrong git_dir.
Avoid that by strdupping getenv("GIT_DIR") result like we did in 06f354
(setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer). Unfortunately
this also shows that other getenv usage inside git needs auditing...
(*) from man 3 getenv:
The implementation of getenv() is not required to be reentrant. The
string pointed to by the return value of getenv() may be statically
allocated, and can be modified by a subsequent call to getenv(),
putenv(3), setenv(3), or unsetenv(3).

Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an
abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the
repository over time, a short name that used to be unique will stop being

to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will

If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text
gitdir: <path>
(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().
Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls. Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.
It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.

The startup_info struct will collect information managed by the git
setup code, such as the prefix for relative paths passed on the
command line (i.e., path to the starting cwd from the toplevel of
the work tree) and whether a git repository has been found.
In other words, startup_info is intended to be a collection of global
variables with results that were previously returned from setup
functions. This state is global anyway (since the cwd is), even
if it is not currently tracked that way. Letting these values persist
means there is more flexibility in deciding when to run setup.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit

configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different

So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything

"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.
The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.

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 deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color
support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a
tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a
tty, we must check whether it is because we started the
pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use
variable.
This variable was set only when the git program being run
started the pager; there was no way for an external program
running git indicate that it had already started a pager.
This patch allows a program to set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE to a
true value to indicate that even though stdout is not a tty,
it is because a pager is being used.

The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what

control per path.
For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:
frotz whitespace
nitfol -whitespace
xyzzy whitespace=-trailing
all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:
*.c whitespace
*.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab
in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle
the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is
the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than
git-add and git-status.
* git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by
default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files.
The calling scripts established the convention to use
.git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile.
* git-add and git-status know about it because they call
add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of
which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a
stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time
the definition of the standard set of ignore files is
changed.
* git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was
because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
files.
* git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore
and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not
honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not
know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either.
We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set
when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore
processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a
change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle
way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change.
On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.
This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.
The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets
you specify the definition of "whitespace error".
Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined:
* trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line.
* space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the
indent part of the line.
You can specify the desired types of errors to be detected by
listing their names (unique abbreviations are accepted)
separated by comma. By default, these two errors are always
detected, as that is the traditional behaviour. You can disable
detection of a particular type of error by prefixing a '-' in
front of the name of the error, like this:
[core]
whitespace = -trailing-space
This patch teaches the code to output colored diff with
DIFF_WHITESPACE color to highlight the detected whitespace
errors to honor the new configuration.

The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.
For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status". Now it works.
Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?
IOW it is allowed to call
$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla
when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.
Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.
The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:
--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.
In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using

handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother).
The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this
purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote
and backslash.
However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit

we were being cautious.
This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and
core.quotepath configuration variable to control it. When set

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.

Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.
Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.

the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to

The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.
We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.
On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.
We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.
Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a
[core]
AutoCRLF = true
in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).
But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:
- "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
- "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
- "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF
and things work fine.
Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:
git clone -n git test-crlf
cd test-crlf
git config core.autocrlf true
git checkout
git diff
shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.
Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).
I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.
The patch is pretty simple - the biggest part is the new "convert.c" file,
but even that is really just basic stuff that anybody can write in

The patches to prevent Porcelainish that require working tree
from doing any damage in a bare repository make a lot of sense,
and I want to make the is_bare_git_dir() function more reliable.
In order to allow the repository owner override the heuristic
implemented in is_bare_git_dir() if/when it misidentifies a
particular repository, it would make sense to introduce a new
configuration variable "[core] bare = true/false", and make
is_bare_git_dir() notice it.
The scripts would do a 'repo-config --bool --get core.bare' and
iff the command fails (i.e. there is no such variable in the
configuration file), it would use the heuristic implemented at
the script level [*1*].
However, setup_git_env() which is called a lot earlier than we
even read from the repository configuration currently makes a
call to is_bare_git_dir(), in order to change the default
setting for log_all_ref_updates. It somehow feels that this is
a hack.
By the way, [*1*] is another thing I hate about the current
config mechanism. "git-repo-config --get" does not know what
the possible configuration variables are, let alone what the
default values for them are. It allows us not to maintain a
centralized configuration table, which makes it easy to
introduce ad-hoc variables and gives a warm fuzzy feeling of
being modular, but my feeling is that it is turning out to be a
rather high price to pay for scripts.

This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.
We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.
In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.
I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing. We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level

New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).
So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:
[core]
logAllRefUpdates = false
in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.
We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.
Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are

The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.
A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.
Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.
core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes
the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

On one of my systems, the linker is not intelligent enough to link with
pager.o (in libgit.a) when only the variable pager_in_use is needed. The
consequence is that the linker complains about an undefined variable. So,
put the variable into environment.o, where it is linked always.

With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about
twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in
object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable
when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster.
The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9]
which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9
being slowest.

This enhances core.sharedrepository to have additionally
specify that read and exec permissions to be given to others as
well. It is useful when serving a repository via gitweb and
git-daemon that runs as a user outside the project group.
The configuration item can take the following values:
[core]
sharedrepository ; the same as "group"
sharedrepository = true ; ditto
sharedrepository = 1 ; ditto
sharedrepository = group ; allow rwx to group
sharedrepository = all ; allow rwx to group, allow rx to other
sharedrepository = umask ; not shared - use umask
It also extends "git init-db" to take "--shared=all" and friends
from the command line.

If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains
the following information:
oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>
where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.
An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.

The new configuration option apply.whitespace can take one of
"warn", "error", "error-all", or "strip". When git-apply is run
to apply the patch to the index, they are used as the default
value if there is no command line --whitespace option.
Andrew can now tell people who feed him git trees to update to
this version and say:

This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>
This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.
You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:
git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...
These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new
entry to the index.
When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

If the config variable 'core.sharedrepository' is set, the directories
$GIT_DIR/objects/
$GIT_DIR/objects/??
$GIT_DIR/objects/pack
$GIT_DIR/refs
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/tags
are set group writable (and g+s, since the git group may be not the primary
group of all users).
Since all files are written as lock files first, and then moved to
their destination, they do not have to be group writable. Indeed, if
this leads to problems you found a bug.
Note that -- as in my first attempt -- the config variable is set in the
function which checks the repository format. If this were done in
git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified
to call git_config(git_default_config) first.
[jc: git variables should be in environment.c unless there is a
compelling reason to do otherwise.]

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.
