The test helper for refs subsystem learned to write bogus and/or
nonexistent object name to refs to simulate error situations we
want to test Git in.
* hn/allow-bogus-oid-in-ref-tests:
t1430: create valid symrefs using test-helper
t1430: remove refs using test-tool
refs: introduce REF_SKIP_REFNAME_VERIFICATION flag
refs: introduce REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION flag
refs: update comment.
test-ref-store: plug memory leak in cmd_delete_refs
test-ref-store: parse symbolic flag constants
test-ref-store: remove force-create argument for create-reflog
Change the type of an internal function to return an enum (instead
of int) and replace -2 that was used to signal an error with -1.
* ab/parse-options-cleanup:
parse-options.c: use "enum parse_opt_result" for parse_nodash_opt()
"default" and "reset" colors have been added to our palette.
* re/color-default-reset:
color: allow colors to be prefixed with "reset"
color: support "default" to restore fg/bg color
color: add missing GIT_COLOR_* white/black constants
Document the parameters given to the reflog entry iterator callback
functions.
* jc/reflog-iterator-callback-doc:
refs: document callback for reflog-ent iterators
The sparse-index/sparse-checkout feature had a bug in its use of
the matching code to determine which path is in or outside the
sparse checkout patterns.
* ds/sparse-deep-pattern-checkout-fix:
unpack-trees: use traverse_path instead of name
t1092: add deeper changes during a checkout
Coding guideline document has been updated to clarify what goes to
standard error in our system.
* es/doc-stdout-vs-stderr:
CodingGuidelines: document which output goes to stdout vs. stderr
Many tests that used to need GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME
mechanism to force "git" to use 'master' as the default name for
the initial branch no longer need it; the use of the mechanism from
them have been removed.
* js/test-initial-branch-override-cleanup:
tests: set GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME only when needed
"git worktree add" showed "Preparing worktree" message to the
standard output stream, but when it failed, the message from die()
went to the standard error stream. Depending on the order the
stdio streams are flushed at the program end, this resulted in
confusing output. It has been corrected by sending all the chatty
messages to the standard error stream.
* es/worktree-chatty-to-stderr:
git-worktree.txt: add missing `-v` to synopsis for `worktree list`
worktree: send "chatty" messages to stderr
Drop support for TravisCI and update test workflows at GitHub.
* ab/ci-updates:
CI: don't run "make test" twice in one job
CI: use "$runs_on_pool", not "$jobname" to select packages & config
CI: rename the "Linux32" job to lower-case "linux32"
CI: use shorter names that fit in UX tooltips
CI: remove Travis CI support
Prepare tests on ref API to help testing reftable backends.
* hn/reflog-tests:
refs/debug: trim trailing LF from reflog message
test-ref-store: tweaks to for-each-reflog-ent format
t1405: check for_each_reflog_ent_reverse() more thoroughly
test-ref-store: don't add newline to reflog message
show-branch: show reflog message
When the "git push" command is killed while the receiving end is
trying to report what happened to the ref update proposals, the
latter used to die, due to SIGPIPE. The code now ignores SIGPIPE
to increase our chances to run the post-receive hook after it
happens.
* rj/receive-pack-avoid-sigpipe-during-status-reporting:
receive-pack: ignore SIGPIPE while reporting status to client
API clean-up.
* ab/run-command:
run-command API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array"
difftool: use "env_array" to simplify memory management
run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
run-command API users: use strvec_push(), not argv construction
run-command API users: use strvec_pushl(), not argv construction
run-command tests: use strvec_pushv(), not argv assignment
run-command API users: use strvec_pushv(), not argv assignment
upload-archive: use regular "struct child_process" pattern
worktree: stop being overly intimate with run_command() internals
"Zealous diff3" style of merge conflict presentation has been added.
* en/zdiff3:
update documentation for new zdiff3 conflictStyle
xdiff: implement a zealous diff3, or "zdiff3"
The default setting for trace2 event nesting was too low to cause
test failures, which is worked around by bumping it up in the test
framework.
* ds/trace2-regions-in-tests:
t/t*: remove custom GIT_TRACE2_EVENT_NESTING
test-lib.sh: set GIT_TRACE2_EVENT_NESTING
The test framework learns to list unsatisfied test prerequisites,
and optionally error out when prerequisites that are expected to be
satisfied are not.
* fs/test-prereq:
test-lib: make BAIL_OUT() work in tests and prereq
test-lib: introduce required prereq for test runs
test-lib: show missing prereq summary
More tests are marked as leak-free.
* ab/mark-leak-free-tests-even-more:
leak tests: mark some fast-import tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
leak tests: mark some config tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
leak tests: mark some status tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
leak tests: mark some clone tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak

leak tests: mark most gettext tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
leak tests: mark "sort" test as passing SANITIZE=leak
leak tests: mark a read-tree test as passing SANITIZE=leak
The "reftable" backend for the refs API, without integrating into
the refs subsystem, has been added.
* hn/reftable:
Add "test-tool dump-reftable" command.
reftable: add dump utility
reftable: implement stack, a mutable database of reftable files.
reftable: implement refname validation
reftable: add merged table view
reftable: add a heap-based priority queue for reftable records
reftable: reftable file level tests
reftable: read reftable files
reftable: generic interface to tables
reftable: write reftable files
reftable: a generic binary tree implementation
reftable: reading/writing blocks
Provide zlib's uncompress2 from compat/zlib-compat.c
reftable: (de)serialization for the polymorphic record type.
reftable: add blocksource, an abstraction for random access reads
reftable: utility functions
reftable: add error related functionality
reftable: add LICENSE
hash.h: provide constants for the hash IDs
"git rebase -x" added an unnecessary 'exec' instructions before
'noop', which has been corrected.
* en/rebase-x-fix:
sequencer: avoid adding exec commands for non-commit creating commands
The single-key-input mode in "git add -p" had some code to handle
keys that generate a sequence of input via ReadKey(), which did not
handle end-of-file correctly, which has been fixed.
* cb/add-p-single-key-fix:
add -p: avoid use of undefined $key when ReadKey -> EOF
The completion script (in contrib/) learns that the "--date"
option of commands from the "git log" family takes "human" and
"auto" as valid values.
* yn/complete-date-format-options:
completion: add human and auto: date format
When a non-existent program is given as the pager, we tried to
reuse an uninitialized child_process structure and crashed, which
has been fixed.
* em/missing-pager:
pager: fix crash when pager program doesn't exist
"git submodule deinit" for a submodule whose .git metadata
directory is embedded in its working tree refused to work, until
the submodule gets converted to use the "absorbed" form where the
metadata directory is stored in superproject, and a gitfile at the
top-level of the working tree of the submodule points at it. The
command is taught to convert such submodules to the absorbed form
as needed.
* mp/absorb-submodule-git-dir-upon-deinit:
submodule: absorb git dir instead of dying on deinit
The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status
had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a
signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the
child has caught a signal. The handling of the exit status has
been unified for these two code paths. An existing test with
flakiness has also been corrected.
* jk/t7006-sigpipe-tests-fix:
t7006: simplify exit-code checks for sigpipe tests
t7006: clean up SIGPIPE handling in trace2 tests
run-command: unify signal and regular logic for wait_or_whine()
"git fetch", when received a bad packfile, can fail with SIGPIPE.
This wasn't wrong per-se, but we now detect the situation and fail
in a more predictable way.
* jk/fetch-pack-avoid-sigpipe-to-index-pack:
fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE when writing to index-pack
Various operating modes of "git reset" have been made to work
better with the sparse index.
* vd/sparse-reset:
unpack-trees: improve performance of next_cache_entry
reset: make --mixed sparse-aware
reset: make sparse-aware (except --mixed)
reset: integrate with sparse index
reset: expand test coverage for sparse checkouts
sparse-index: update command for expand/collapse test
reset: preserve skip-worktree bit in mixed reset
reset: rename is_missing to !is_in_reset_tree
On platforms where ulong is shorter than size_t, code paths that
shifted 1 or 1U to the left lacked the necessary cast to size_t,
which have been corrected.
* po/size-t-for-vs:
object-file.c: LLP64 compatibility, upcast unity for left shift
diffcore-delta.c: LLP64 compatibility, upcast unity for left shift
repack.c: LLP64 compatibility, upcast unity for left shift
The advice message given by "git pull" when the user hasn't made a
choice between merge and rebase still said that the merge is the
default, which no longer is the case. This has been corrected.
* ah/advice-pull-has-no-preference-between-rebase-and-merge:
pull: don't say that merge is "the default strategy"
The code to decode the length of packed object size has been
corrected.
* jt/pack-header-lshift-overflow:
packfile: avoid overflowing shift during decode
The "merge" subcommand of "git jump" (in contrib/) silently ignored
pathspec and other parameters.
* jk/jump-merge-with-pathspec:
git-jump: pass "merge" arguments to ls-files
Build optimization.
* ab/generate-command-list:
generate-cmdlist.sh: don't parse command-list.txt thrice
generate-cmdlist.sh: replace "grep' invocation with a shell version
generate-cmdlist.sh: do not shell out to "sed"
generate-cmdlist.sh: stop sorting category lines
generate-cmdlist.sh: replace for loop by printf's auto-repeat feature
generate-cmdlist.sh: run "grep | sort", not "sort | grep"
generate-cmdlist.sh: don't call get_categories() from category_list()
generate-cmdlist.sh: spawn fewer processes
generate-cmdlist.sh: trivial whitespace change
command-list.txt: sort with "LC_ALL=C sort"
"git var GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH" is a way to see what name is used for
the newly created branch if "git init" is run.
* tw/var-default-branch:
var: add GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH variable
The "--date=format:<strftime>" gained a workaround for the lack of
system support for a non-local timezone to handle "%s" placeholder.
* jk/strbuf-addftime-seconds-since-epoch:
strbuf_addftime(): handle "%s" manually
