When the repository does not yet have commits, some errors describe that
there is no branch:
$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first
error: No branch named 'first'.
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream
fatal: branch 'first' does not exist
$ git branch -c second
error: refname refs/heads/first not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
That "first" branch is unborn but to say it doesn't exists is confusing.
Options "-c" (copy) and "-m" (rename) show the same error when the
origin branch doesn't exists:
$ git branch -c non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
$ git branch -m non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch rename failed
Note that "--edit-description" without an explicit argument is already
considering the _empty repository_ circumstance in its error. Also note
that "-m" on the initial branch it is an allowed operation.
Make the error descriptions for those branch operations with unborn or
non-existent branches, more informative.
This is the result of the change:
$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first
error: No commit on branch 'first' yet.

fatal: No commit on branch 'first' yet.

Imagine running "git branch --edit-description" while on a branch
without the branch description, and then exit the editor after
emptying the edit buffer, which is the way to tell the command that
you changed your mind and you do not want the description after all.
The command should just happily oblige, adding no branch description
for the current branch, and exit successfully. But it fails to do
so:
$ git init -b main
$ git commit --allow-empty -m commit
$ GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description
fatal: could not unset 'branch.main.description'
The end result is OK in that the configuration variable does not
exist in the resulting repository, but we should do better. If we
know we didn't have a description, and if we are asked not to have a
description by the editor, we can just return doing nothing.
This of course introduces TOCTOU. If you add a branch description
to the same branch from another window, while you had the editor
open to edit the description, and then exit the editor without
writing anything there, we'd end up not removing the description you
added in the other window. But you are fooling yourself in your own
repository at that point, and if it hurts, you'd be better off not
doing so ;-).

This is the last current use of find_shared_symref() that can easily be
replaced by branch_checked_out(). The benefit of this switch is that the
code is a bit simpler, but also it is faster on repeated calls.
The remaining uses of find_shared_symref() are non-trivial to remove, so
we probably should not continue in that direction:
* builtin/notes.c uses find_shared_symref() with "NOTES_MERGE_REF"
instead of "HEAD", so it doesn't have an immediate analogue with
branch_checked_out(). Perhaps we should consider extending it to
include that symref in addition to HEAD, BISECT_HEAD, and
REBASE_HEAD.
* receive-pack.c checks to see if a worktree has a checkout for the ref
that is being updated. The tricky part is that it can actually decide
to update the worktree directly instead of just skipping the update.
This all depends on the receive.denyCurrentBranch config option. The
implementation currenty cares about receiving the worktree in the
result, so the current branch_checked_out() prototype is insufficient
currently. This is something to investigate later, though, since a
large number of refs could be updated at the same time and using the
strmap implementation of branch_checked_out() could be beneficial.

"git branch" learned the "--recurse-submodules" option.
* gc/branch-recurse-submodules:
branch.c: use 'goto cleanup' in setup_tracking() to fix memory leaks
branch: add --recurse-submodules option for branch creation
builtin/branch: consolidate action-picking logic in cmd_branch()
branch: add a dry_run parameter to create_branch()
branch: make create_branch() always create a branch
branch: move --set-upstream-to behavior to dwim_and_setup_tracking()
To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle
branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the
--recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules
topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its
submodules.
Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not
work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git
branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most
commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule
ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check
out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in
detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches.
Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value,
`submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to
prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if
this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to
submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function
unless this configuration value is set.
This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules
from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and
future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the
superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the
filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are:
* add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant
information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and
initializes the repository
* add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to
is_submodule_active()
* add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the
submodules in their trees
Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list'
usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been
incorrect since its inception, a8dfd5eac4 (Make builtin-branch.c use
parse_options., 2007-10-07).

Document that the accepted variants of the --track option are --track,

Put "direct" consistently before "inherit", if only for the reasons

branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking

It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.
Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.
For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.
This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.
Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).
Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

The for-each-ref family of commands invoke parsers immediately when
it sees each --sort=<atom> option, and die before even seeing the
other options on the command line when the <atom> is unrecognised.
Instead, accumulate them in a string list, and have them parsed into
a ref_sorting structure after the command line parsing is done. As
a consequence, "git branch --sort=bogus -h" used to fail to give the
brief help, which arguably may have been a feature, now does so,
which is more consistent with how other options work.
The patch is smaller than the actual extent of the "damage" to the
codebase, thanks to the fact that the original code consistently
used OPT_REF_SORT() macro to handle command line options. We only
needed to replace the variable used for the list, and implementation
of the callback function used in the macro.
The old rule was for the users of the API to:
- Declare ref_sorting and ref_sorting_tail variables;
- OPT_REF_SORT() macro will instantiate ref_sorting instance (which
may barf and die) and append it to the tail;
- Append to the tail each ref_sorting read from the configuration
by parsing in the config callback (which may barf and die);
- See if ref_sorting is null and use ref_sorting_default() instead.
Now the rule is not all that different but is simpler:
- Declare ref_sorting_options string list.
- OPT_REF_SORT() macro will append it to the string list;
- Append to the string list the sort key read from the
configuration;
- call ref_sorting_options() to turn the string list to ref_sorting
structure (which also deals with the default value).
As side effects, this change also cleans up a few issues:
- 95be717c (parse_opt_ref_sorting: always use with NONEG flag,
2019-03-20) muses that "git for-each-ref --no-sort" should simply
clear the sort keys accumulated so far; it now does.
- The implementation detail of "struct ref_sorting" and the helper
function parse_ref_sorting() can now be private to the ref-filter
API implementation.
- If you set branch.sort to a bogus value, the any "git branch"
invocation, not only the listing mode, would abort with the
original code; now it doesn't

Use a ref_sorting_release() in branch.c to free the memory from the
ref_sorting_options(). This plugs the final in-tree memory leak of
that API.
In the preceding commit the "sorting" variable was left in the
cmd_branch() scope, even though that wasn't needed anymore. Move it to
the "else if (list)" scope instead. We can also move the "struct
string_list" only used for that branch to be declared in that block
That "struct ref_sorting" does not need to be "static" (and isn't
re-used). The "ref_sorting_options()" will return a valid one, we
don't need to make it "static" to have it zero'd out. That it was

Of the ref-filter callers, for-each-ref and git-branch both set the
INCLUDE_BROKEN flag (but git-tag does not, which is a weird
inconsistency). But now that GIT_REF_PARANOIA is on by default, that
produces almost the same outcome for all three.
The one exception is that GIT_REF_PARANOIA will omit dangling symrefs.
That's a better behavior for these tools, as they would never include
such a symref in the main output anyway (they can't, as it doesn't point
to an object). Instead they issue a warning to stderr. But that warning
is somewhat useless; a dangling symref is a perfectly reasonable thing
to have in your repository, and is not a sign of corruption. It's much
friendlier to just quietly ignore it.
And in terms of robustness, the warning gains us little. It does not
impact the exit code of either tool. So while the warning _might_ clue
in a user that they have an unexpected broken symref, it would not help
any kind of scripted use.
This patch converts for-each-ref and git-branch to stop using the
INCLUDE_BROKEN flag. That gives them more reasonable behavior, and
harmonizes them with git-tag.
We have to change one test to adapt to the situation. t1430 tries to
trigger all of the REF_ISBROKEN behaviors from the underlying ref code.
It uses for-each-ref to do so (because there isn't any other mechanism).
That will no longer issue a warning about the symref which points to an
invalid name, as it's considered dangling (and we can instead be sure
that it's _not_ mentioned on stderr). Note that we do still complain
about the illegally named "broken..symref"; its problem is not that it's
dangling, but the name of the symref itself is illegal.

When we use `git for-each-ref`, every ref will allocate
its own output strbuf and error strbuf. But we can reuse
the final strbuf for each step ref's output. The error
buffer will also be reused, despite the fact that the git
will exit when `format_ref_array_item()` return a non-zero
value and output the contents of the error buffer.
The performance for `git for-each-ref` on the Git repository
itself with performance testing tool `hyperfine` changes from
23.7 ms ± 0.9 ms to 22.2 ms ± 1.0 ms. Optimization is relatively
minor.
At the same time, we apply this optimization to `git tag -l`

When removing many branches and tags, the code used to do so one
ref at a time. There is another API it can use to delete multiple
refs, and it makes quite a lot of performance difference when the
refs are packed.
* ph/use-delete-refs:
use delete_refs when deleting tags or branches
'git tag -d' accepts one or more tag refs to delete, but each deletion
is done by calling `delete_ref` on each argv. This is very slow when
removing from packed refs. Use delete_refs instead so all the removals
can be done inside a single transaction with a single update.
Do the same for 'git branch -d'.
Since delete_refs performs all the packed-refs delete operations
inside a single transaction, if any of the deletes fail then all
them will be skipped. In practice, none of them should fail since
we verify the hash of each one before calling delete_refs, but some
network error or odd permissions problem could have different results
after this change.
Also, since the file-backed deletions are not performed in the same
transaction, those could succeed even when the packed-refs transaction
fails.
After deleting branches, remove the branch config only if the branch
ref was removed and was not subsequently added back in.
A manual test deleting 24,000 tags took about 30 minutes using
delete_ref. It takes about 5 seconds using delete_refs.

FILTER_REFS_DETACHED_HEAD flag, instead of relying on the ref
description filled-in by get_head_description() to start with "(",

For context, we'd like the detached line to appear first at the start

This doesn't change that, but improves on a fix made in
28438e84e0 (ref-filter: sort detached HEAD lines firstly, 2019-06-18)
and gives the Chinese translation the ability to use its preferred
punctuation marks again.
In Chinese the fullwidth versions of punctuation like "()" are
typically written as (U+FF08 fullwidth left parenthesis), (U+FF09
fullwidth right parenthesis) instead[1]. This form is used in both
po/zh_{CN,TW}.po in most cases where "()" is translated in a string.
Aside from that improvement to the Chinese translation, it also just
makes for cleaner code that we mark any special cases in the ref_array
we're sorting with flags and make the sort function aware of them,
instead of piggy-backing on the general-case of strcmp() doing the
right thing.
As seen in the amended tests this made reverse sorting a bit more
consistent. Before this we'd sometimes sort this message in the
middle, now it's consistently at the beginning or end, depending on
whether we're doing a normal or reverse sort. Having it at the end
doesn't make much sense either, but at least it behaves consistently
now. A follow-up commit will make this behavior under reverse sorting
even better.
I'm removing the "TRANSLATORS" comments that were in the old code
while I'm at it. Those were added in d4919bb288 (ref-filter: move
get_head_description() from branch.c, 2017-01-10). I think it's
obvious from context, string and translation memory in typical
translation tools that these are the same or similar string.

Perhaps there's a more idiomatic way of doing the "for each in list
amend mask" pattern than this "mask/on" variable combo. This function
doesn't allow us to e.g. do any arbitrary changes to the bitfield for
multiple flags, but I think in this case that's fine. The common case

Enable ref-filter to process multiple merged and no-merged filters, and
extend functionality to git branch, git tag and git for-each-ref. This
provides an easy way to check for branches that are "graduation
candidates:"
$ git branch --no-merged master --merged next
If passed more than one merged (or more than one no-merged) filter, refs
must be reachable from any one of the merged commits, and reachable from
none of the no-merged commits.

"git branch" and other "for-each-ref" variants accepted multiple
--sort=<key> options in the increasing order of precedence, but it
had a few breakages around "--ignore-case" handling, and tie-breaking
with the refname, which have been fixed.
* jk/for-each-ref-multi-key-sort-fix:
ref-filter: apply fallback refname sort only after all user sorts
ref-filter: apply --ignore-case to all sorting keys
All of the ref-filter users (for-each-ref, branch, and tag) take an
--ignore-case option which makes filtering and sorting case-insensitive.
However, this option was applied only to the first element of the
ref_sorting list. So:
git for-each-ref --ignore-case --sort=refname
would do what you expect, but:
git for-each-ref --ignore-case --sort=refname --sort=taggername
would sort the primary key (taggername) case-insensitively, but sort the
refname case-sensitively. We have two options here:
- teach callers to set ignore_case on the whole list
- replace the ref_sorting list with a struct that contains both the
list of sorting keys, as well as options that apply to _all_
keys
I went with the first one here, as it gives more flexibility if we later
want to let the users set the flag per-key (presumably through some
special syntax when defining the key; for now it's all or nothing
through --ignore-case).
The new test covers this by sorting on both tagger and subject
case-insensitively, which should compare "a" and "A" identically, but
still sort them before "b" and "B". We'll break ties by sorting on the
refname to give ourselves a stable output (this is actually supposed to
be done automatically, but there's another bug which will be fixed in
the next commit).

In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a
plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and
OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct
definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to
developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy
happening.
Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or
OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the
following (disgusting) shell script:
#!/bin/sh
do_replacement () {
tr '\n' '\r' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' |
tr '\r' '\n'
}
for f in $(git ls-files \*.c)
do
do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp"
mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
done
The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the
style of the surrounding code. Finally, using
`git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled
by the script were manually transformed.

The "--sort" parameter of for-each-ref, etc, does not handle negation,

As the comment in the callback function notes, this probably should
clear the list, which would make it consistent with other list-like
options (i.e., anything that uses OPT_STRING_LIST currently).
Unfortunately that's a bit tricky due to the way the ref-filter code
works. But in the meantime, let's at least make the error a little less
confusing:
- switch to using PARSE_OPT_NONEG in the option definition, which will
cause the options code to produce a useful message
- since this was cut-and-pasted to four different spots, let's define
a single OPT_REF_SORT() macro that we can use everywhere
- the callback can use BUG_ON_OPT_NEG() to make sure the correct flags
are used (incidentally, this also satisfies -Wunused-parameters,
since we're now looking at "unset")
- expand the comment into a NEEDSWORK to make it clear that the
direction is right, but the details need to be worked out

The "-l" option is short for "--create-reflog". This has
caused much confusion over the years. Most people expect it
to work as "--list", because that would match the other
"mode" options like -d/--delete and -m/--move, as well as
the similar -l/--list option of git-tag.
Adding to the confusion, using "-l" _appears_ to work as
"--list" in some cases:
$ git branch -l
* master
because the branch command defaults to listing (so even
trying to specify --list in the command above is redundant).
But that may bite the user later when they add a pattern,
like:
$ git branch -l foo
which does not return an empty list, but in fact creates a
new branch (with a reflog, naturally) called "foo".
It's also probably quite uncommon for people to actually use
"-l" to create a reflog. Since 0bee591869 (Enable reflogs by
default in any repository with a working directory.,
2006-12-14), this is the default in non-bare repositories.
So it's rather unfortunate that the feature squats on the
short-and-sweet "-l" (which was only added in 3a4b3f269c
(Create/delete branch ref logs., 2006-05-19), meaning there
were only 7 months where it was actually useful).
Let's deprecate "-l" in hopes of eventually re-purposing it
to "--list".
Note that we issue the warning only when we're not in list
mode. This means that people for whom it works as a happy
accident, namely:
$ git branch -l
master
won't see the warning at all. And when we eventually switch
to it meaning "--list", that will just continue to work.
We do the issue the warning for these important cases:
- when we are actually creating a branch, in case the user
really did mean it as "--create-reflog"
- when we are in some _other_ mode, like deletion. There
the "-l" is a noop for now, but it will eventually
conflict with any other mode request, and the user
should be told that this is changing.

Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can

This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply

Let's run with this one.
* jk/ref-filter-colors-fix:

Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"
Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests"
Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
This reverts commit 136c8c8b8f.
That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which
plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did
not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it.
But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set
to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued
that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out
to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to
"add -p" regressing in v2.14.2.
Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p".
This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but:
1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I
only noticed it while working on the color code, and we
haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it.
2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting
"never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This
is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state
we had before v2.14.2.
Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in
t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be
flipped to success.

Convert delete_ref and refs_delete_ref to take a pointer to struct
object_id. Update the documentation accordingly, including referring to
null_oid in lowercase, as it is not a #define constant.

Checking if a proposed name is appropriate for a branch is strictly
a subset of checking if we want to allow creating or updating a
branch with such a name. The mysterious sounding 'attr_only'
parameter to validate_new_branchname() is used to switch the
function between these two roles.
Instead, split the function into two, and adjust the callers. A new
helper validate_branchname() only checks the name and reports if the
branch already exists.
This loses one NEEDSWORK from the branch API.
