A couple of years ago, I found the need to collaborate on topic
branches that were rebased all the time, and I really needed to see
what I was rebasing when pulling, so I introduced an
interactively-rebasing pull.
The way builtin pull works, this change also supports the value
'interactive' for the 'branch.<name>.rebase' config variable, which
is a neat thing because users can now configure given branches for
interactively-rebasing pulls without having to type out the complete
`--rebase=interactive` option every time they pull.

After rebasing, we call "gc --auto" to clean up if we
created a lot of loose objects. However, we do so inside an
&&-chain. If "gc --auto" fails (e.g., because a previous
background gc blocked us by leaving "gc.log" in place),
then:
1. We will fail to clean up the state directory, leaving
the user stuck in the rebase forever (even "git am
--abort" doesn't work, because it calls "gc --auto"!).
2. In some cases, we may return a bogus exit code from
rebase, indicating failure when everything except the
auto-gc succeeded.
We can fix this by ignoring the exit code of "gc --auto".

We can pass -o/--output-directory to the format-patch command to store

introduces format.outputDirectory configuration option for same
purpose.
The case of usage of this configuration option can be convenience
to not pass every time -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.
The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line

After changing the type of a file in the git repository, it is not possible to
"git p4 publish" the commit to perforce. This is due to the fact that the git
"T" status is not handled in git-p4.py. This can typically occur when replacing
an existing file with a symbolic link.
The "T" modifier is now supported in git-p4.py. When a file type has changed,
inform perforce with the "p4 edit -f auto" command.

We sometimes call lock_ref_sha1_basic with REF_NODEREF
to operate directly on a symbolic ref. This is used, for
example, to move to a detached HEAD, or when updating
the contents of HEAD via checkout or symbolic-ref.
However, the first step of the function is to resolve the
refname to get the "old" sha1, and we do so without telling
resolve_ref_unsafe() that we are only interested in the
symref. As a result, we may detect a problem there not with
the symref itself, but with something it points to.
The real-world example I found (and what is used in the test
suite) is a HEAD pointing to a ref that cannot exist,
because it would cause a directory/file conflict with other
existing refs. This situation is somewhat broken, of
course, as trying to _commit_ on that HEAD would fail. But
it's not explicitly forbidden, and we should be able to move
away from it. However, neither "git checkout" nor "git
symbolic-ref" can do so. We try to take the lock on HEAD,
which is pointing to a non-existent ref. We bail from
resolve_ref_unsafe() with errno set to EISDIR, and the lock
code thinks we are attempting to create a d/f conflict.
Of course we're not. The problem is that the lock code has
no idea what level we were at when we got EISDIR, so trying
to diagnose or remove empty directories for HEAD is not
useful.
To make things even more complicated, we only get EISDIR in
the loose-ref case. If the refs are packed, the resolution
may "succeed", giving us the pointed-to ref in "refname",
but a null oid. Later, we say "ah, the null oid means we are
creating; let's make sure there is room for it", but
mistakenly check against the _resolved_ refname, not the
original.
We can fix this by making two tweaks:
1. Call resolve_ref_unsafe() with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
when REF_NODEREF is set. This means any errors
we get will be from the orig_refname, and we can act
accordingly.
We already do this in the REF_DELETING case, but we
should do it for update, too.
2. If we do get a "refname" return from
resolve_ref_unsafe(), even with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
it may be the name of the ref pointed-to by a symref.
We already normalize this back to orig_refname before
taking the lockfile, but we need to do so before the
null_oid check.
While we're rearranging the REF_NODEREF handling, we can
also bump the initialization of lflags to the top of the
function, where we are setting up other flags. This saves us
from having yet another conditional block on REF_NODEREF
just to set it later.

Our basic strategy for taking a ref lock is:
1. Create $ref.lock to take the lock
2. Read the ref again while holding the lock (during which
time we know that nobody else can be updating it).
3. Compare the value we read to the expected "old_sha1"
The value we read in step (2) is returned to the caller via
the lock->old_oid field, who may use it for other purposes
(such as writing a reflog).
If we have no "old_sha1" (i.e., we are unconditionally
taking the lock), then we obviously must omit step 3. But we
_also_ omit step 2. This seems like a nice optimization, but
it means that the caller sees only whatever was left in
lock->old_oid from previous calls to resolve_ref_unsafe(),
which happened outside of the lock.
We can demonstrate this race pretty easily. Imagine you have
three commits, $one, $two, and $three. One script just flips
between $one and $two, without providing an old-sha1:
while true; do
git update-ref -m one refs/heads/foo $one
git update-ref -m two refs/heads/foo $two
done
Meanwhile, another script tries to set the value to $three,
also not using an old-sha1:
while true; do
git update-ref -m three refs/heads/foo $three
done
If these run simultaneously, we'll see a lot of lock
contention, but each of the writes will succeed some of the
time. The reflog may record movements between any of the
three refs, but we would expect it to provide a consistent
log: the "from" field of each log entry should be the same
as the "to" field of the previous one.
But if we check this:
perl -alne '
print "mismatch on line $."
if defined $last && $F[0] ne $last;
$last = $F[1];
' .git/logs/refs/heads/foo
we'll see many mismatches. Why?
Because sometimes, in the time between lock_ref_sha1_basic
filling lock->old_oid via resolve_ref_unsafe() and it taking
the lock, there may be a complete write by another process.
And the "from" field in our reflog entry will be wrong, and
will refer to an older value.
This is probably quite rare in practice. It requires writers
which do not provide an old-sha1 value, and it is a very
quick race. However, it is easy to fix: we simply perform
step (2), the read-under-lock, whether we have an old-sha1
or not. Then the value we hand back to the caller is always
atomic.

init_notes() is the main point of entry to the notes API. It ensures
that the input can be used as ref, because it needs a ref to update to
store notes tree after modifying it.
There however are many use cases where notes tree is only read, e.g.
"git log --notes=...". Any notes-shaped treeish could be used for such
purpose, but it is not allowed due to existing restriction.
Allow treeish expressions to be used in the case the notes tree is going
to be used without write "permissions". Add a flag to distinguish
whether the notes tree is intended to be used read-only, or will be
updated.
With this change, operations that use notes read-only can be fed any
notes-shaped tree-ish can be used, e.g. git log --notes=notes@{1}.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
