git filter-branch has a nifty feature allowing you to rewrite, e.g. just
the last 8 commits of a linear history
git filter-branch $OPTIONS HEAD~8..HEAD
If you try the same with git fast-export, you instead get a history of
only 8 commits, with HEAD~7 being rewritten into a root commit. There
are two alternatives:
1) Don't use the negative revision specification, and when you're
filtering the output to make modifications to the last 8 commits,
just be careful to not modify any earlier commits somehow.
2) First run 'git fast-export --export-marks=somefile HEAD~8', then
run 'git fast-export --import-marks=somefile HEAD~8..HEAD'.
Both are more error prone than I'd like (the first for obvious reasons;
with the second option I have sometimes accidentally included too many
revisions in the first command and then found that the corresponding
extra revisions were not exported by the second command and thus were
not modified as I expected). Also, both are poor from a performance
perspective.
Add a new --reference-excluded-parents option which will cause
fast-export to refer to commits outside the specified rev-list-args
range by their sha1sum. Such a stream will only be useful in a
repository which already contains the necessary commits (much like the
restriction imposed when using --no-data).
Note from Peff:
I think we might be able to do a little more optimization here. If
we're exporting HEAD^..HEAD and there's an object in HEAD^ which is
unchanged in HEAD, I think we'd still print it (because it would not
be marked SHOWN), but we could omit it (by walking the tree of the
boundary commits and marking them shown). I don't think it's a
blocker for what you're doing here, but just a possible future
optimization.

error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:
- Looking for a ref that matches 'newbranch' on the remote side.
- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('v2.19.0^{commit}')
is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.
Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
hint: The <src> part of the refspec is a commit object.
hint: Did you mean to create a new branch by pushing to
hint: 'v2.19.0^{commit}:refs/heads/newbranch'?
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:avar/git.git'
When trying to push a tag, tree or a blob we suggest that perhaps the
user meant to push them to refs/tags/ instead.

When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when
certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior
otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the
conditions to turn
git checkout frotz
to
git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz
is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to
expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there
happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz"
file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2]
and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3].
We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple
"right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide.
Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate:
- "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo"
- "git checkout foo --" will dwim and create branch "foo" [4]
For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this
particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just
fail. But it could be used by scripts.

The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what

can but only in three patterns:
- '**/' matches zero or more leading directories
- '/**/' matches zero or more directories in between
- '/**' matches zero or more trailing directories/files
When '**' is present but not in one of these patterns, the current
behavior is consider the pattern invalid and stop matching. In other
words, 'foo**bar' never matches anything, whatever you throw at it.
This behavior is arguably a bit confusing partly because we can't
really tell the user their pattern is invalid so that they can fix
it. So instead, tolerate it and make '**' act like two regular '*'s
(which is essentially the same as a single asterisk). This behavior
seems more predictable.

This adds support for a new http.schannelCheckRevoke config value.
This config value is only used if http.sslBackend is set to "schannel",
which forces cURL to use the Windows Certificate Store when validating
server certificates associated with a remote server.
This config value should only be set to "false" if you are in an
environment where revocation checks are blocked by the network, with
no alternative options.
This is only supported in cURL 7.44 or later.
Note: originally, we wanted to call the config setting
`http.schannel.checkRevoke`. This, however, does not work: the `http.*`
config settings can be limited to specific URLs via `http.<url>.*`

One of the problems with multiple worktree is accessing per-worktree
refs of one worktree from another worktree. This was sort of solved by
multiple ref store, where the code can open the ref store of another
worktree and has access to the ref space of that worktree.
The problem with this is reporting. "HEAD" in another ref space is
also called "HEAD" like in the current ref space. In order to
differentiate them, all the code must somehow carry the ref store
around and print something like "HEAD from this ref store".
But that is not feasible (or possible with a _lot_ of work). With the
current design, we pass a reference around as a string (so called
"refname"). Extending this design to pass a string _and_ a ref store
is a nightmare, especially when handling extended SHA-1 syntax.
So we do it another way. Instead of entering a separate ref space, we
make refs from other worktrees available in the current ref space. So
"HEAD" is always HEAD of the current worktree, but then we can have
"worktrees/blah/HEAD" to denote HEAD from a worktree named

The main worktree has to be treated specially because well... it's
special from the beginning. So HEAD from the main worktree is
acccessible via the name "main-worktree/HEAD" instead of
"worktrees/main/HEAD" because "main" could be just another secondary
worktree.
This patch also makes it possible to specify refs from one worktree in

A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it
works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.

The previous git-p4 unshelve support would check for changes
in Perforce to the files being unshelved since the original
shelve, and would complain if any were found.
This was to ensure that the user wouldn't end up with both the
shelved change delta, and some deltas from other changes in their
git commit.
e.g. given fileA:
the
quick
brown
fox
change1: s/the/The/ <- p4 shelve this change
change2: s/fox/Fox/ <- p4 submit this change
git p4 unshelve 1 <- FAIL
This change teaches the P4Unshelve class to always create a parent
commit which matches the P4 tree (for the files being unshelved) at
the point prior to the P4 shelve being created (which is reported
in the p4 description for a shelved changelist).
That then means git-p4 can always create a git commit matching the
P4 shelve that was originally created, without any extra deltas.
The user might still need to use the --origin option though - there
is no way for git-p4 to work out the versions of all of the other
*unchanged* files in the shelve, since this information is not recorded
by Perforce.
Additionally this fixes handling of shelved 'move' operations.

As of version 7.56.0, curl supports being compiled with multiple SSL
backends.
This patch adds the Git side of that feature: by setting http.sslBackend
to "openssl" or "schannel", Git for Windows can now choose the SSL
backend at runtime.
This comes in handy on Windows because Secure Channel ("schannel") is
the native solution, accessing the Windows Credential Store, thereby
allowing for enterprise-wide management of certificates. For historical
reasons, Git for Windows needs to support OpenSSL still, as it has
previously been the only supported SSL backend in Git for Windows for
almost a decade.
The patch has been carried in Git for Windows for over a year, and is

This patch enables addressing the CPU cost of loading the index by adding
additional data to the index that will allow us to efficiently multi-
thread the loading and conversion of cache entries.
It accomplishes this by adding an (optional) index extension that is a
table of offsets to blocks of cache entries in the index file. To make
this work for V4 indexes, when writing the cache entries, it periodically
"resets" the prefix-compression by encoding the current entry as if the
path name for the previous entry is completely different and saves the
offset of that entry in the IEOT. Basically, with V4 indexes, it
generates offsets into blocks of prefix-compressed entries.

The End of Index Entry (EOIE) is used to locate the end of the variable
length index entries and the beginning of the extensions. Code can take
advantage of this to quickly locate the index extensions without having
to parse through all of the index entries.
The EOIE extension is always written out to the index file including to
the shared index when using the split index feature. Because it is always
written out, the SHA checksums in t/t1700-split-index.sh were updated
to reflect its inclusion.
It is written as an optional extension to ensure compatibility with other
git implementations that do not yet support it. It is always written out
to ensure it is available as often as possible to speed up index operations.
Because it must be able to be loaded before the variable length cache
entries and other index extensions, this extension must be written last.
The signature for this extension is { 'E', 'O', 'I', 'E' }.
The extension consists of:
- 32-bit offset to the end of the index entries
- 160-bit SHA-1 over the extension types and their sizes (but not
their contents). E.g. if we have "TREE" extension that is N-bytes
long, "REUC" extension that is M-bytes long, followed by "EOIE",
then the hash would be:
SHA-1("TREE" + <binary representation of N> +
"REUC" + <binary representation of M>)

The recently-introduced "core.alternateRefsCommand" allows callers to
specify with high flexibility the tips that they wish to advertise from
alternates. This flexibility comes at the cost of some inconvenience
when the caller only wishes to limit the advertisement to one or more
prefixes.
For example, to advertise only tags, a caller using
'core.alternateRefsCommand' would have to do:
$ git config core.alternateRefsCommand ' \
f() { git -C "$1" for-each-ref \
refs/tags --format="%(objectname)" }; f "$@"'
The above is cumbersome to write, so let's introduce a
"core.alternateRefsPrefixes" to address this common case. Instead, the
caller can run:
$ git config core.alternateRefsPrefixes 'refs/tags'
Which will behave identically to the longer example using
"core.alternateRefsCommand".
Since the value of "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" is appended to 'git
for-each-ref' and then executed, include a "--" before taking the
configured value to avoid misinterpreting arguments as flags to 'git
for-each-ref'.
In the case that the caller wishes to specify multiple prefixes, they
may separate them by whitespace. If "core.alternateRefsCommand" is set,
it will take precedence over "core.alternateRefsPrefixes".

When in a repository containing one or more alternates, Git would
sometimes like to list references from those alternates. For example,
'git receive-pack' lists the "tips" pointed to by references in those
alternates as special ".have" references.
Listing ".have" references is designed to make pushing changes from
upstream to a fork a lightweight operation, by advertising to the pusher
that the fork already has the objects (via its alternate). Thus, the
client can avoid sending them.
However, when the alternate (upstream, in the previous example) has a
pathologically large number of references, the initial advertisement is
too expensive. In fact, it can dominate any such optimization where the
pusher avoids sending certain objects.
Introduce "core.alternateRefsCommand" in order to provide a facility to
limit or filter alternate references. This can be used, for example, to
filter out references the alternate does not wish to send (for space
concerns, or otherwise) during the initial advertisement.
Let the repository that has alternates configure this command to avoid
trusting the alternate to provide us a safe command to run in the shell.
To find the alternate, pass its absolute path as the first argument.

Teach list-objects the "tree:0" filter which allows for filtering
out all tree and blob objects (unless other objects are explicitly
specified by the user). The purpose of this patch is to allow smaller
partial clones.
The name of this filter - tree:0 - does not explicitly specify that
it also filters out all blobs, but this should not cause much confusion
because blobs are not at all useful without the trees that refer to
them.
I also considered only:commits as a name, but this is inaccurate because
it suggests that annotated tags are omitted, but actually they are
included.
The name "tree:0" allows later filtering based on depth, i.e. "tree:1"
would filter out all but the root tree and blobs. In order to avoid
confusion between 0 and capital O, the documentation was worded in a
somewhat round-about way that also hints at this future improvement to

This reverts commit 6f924265a0, which
started to require that we have an executable git available in order
to say "make clean", which gives us a chicken-and-egg problem.
Having to have Git installed, or be in a repository, in order to be
able to run an optional "doc-diff" tool is fine. Requiring either
in order to run "make clean" is a different story.

It's annoying not to be able to put comments and empty lines in the
skipList, when e.g. keeping a big central list of commits to skip in
/etc/gitconfig, which was my motivation for 1362df0d41 ("fetch:
implement fetch.fsck.*", 2018-07-27).
Implement that, and document what version of Git this was changed in,
since this on-disk format can be expected to be used by multiple
versions of git.
There is no notable performance impact from this change, using the
test setup described a couple of commits back:

Change the implementation of the skipList feature to use oidset
instead of oid_array to store SHA-1s for later lookup.
This list is parsed once on startup by fsck, fetch-pack or
receive-pack depending on the *.skipList config in use. I.e. only once
per invocation, but note that for "clone --recurse-submodules" each
submodule will re-parse the list, in addition to the main project, and
it will be re-parsed when checking .gitmodules blobs, see
fb16287719 ("fsck: check skiplist for object in fsck_blob()",
2018-06-27).
Memory usage is a bit higher, but we don't need to keep track of the
sort order anymore. Embed the oidset into struct fsck_options to make
its ownership clear (no hidden sharing) and avoid unnecessary pointer
indirection.

Abbreviating the SHA-1s in the skipList input has never worked, but
the documentation hasn't unambiguously stated that this is an error,
and there was no test for it.
Let's fix both since it would be easy for some later refactoring
e.g. switch to accidentally switch to a looser OID parsing function,
causing the tests before this change to pass, but for older versions
of git to be incompatible with the new skipList format.

There is currently no comment syntax for the fsck.skipList, this isn't
really by design, and it would be nice to have support for comments.
Document that this doesn't work, and test for how this errors
out. These tests reveal a current bug, if there's invalid input the
output will emit some of the next line, and then go into uninitialized
memory. This is fixed in a subsequent change.

Ever since the skipList support was first added in cd94c6f91 ("fsck:
git receive-pack: support excluding objects from fsck'ing",
2015-06-22) the documentation for the format has that the file is a
sorted list of object names.
Thus, anyone using the feature would have thought the list needed to
be sorted. E.g. I recently in conjunction with my fetch.fsck.*
implementation in 1362df0d41 ("fetch: implement fetch.fsck.*",
2018-07-27) wrote some code to ship a skipList, and went out of my way
to sort it.
Doing so seems intuitive, since it contains fixed-width records, and
has no support for comments, so one might expect it to be binary
searched in-place on-disk.
However, as documented here this was never a requirement, so let's
change the documentation. Since this is a file format change let's
also document what was said about this in the past, so e.g. someone
like myself reading the new docs can see this never needed to be
sorted ("why do I have all this code to sort this thing...").

If passed both --no-deref and --stdin, update-ref would error out with a
general usage message that did not at all suggest these options were
incompatible. The manpage for update-ref did suggest through its
synopsis line that --no-deref and --stdin were incompatible, but it sadly
also incorrectly suggested that -d and --no-deref were incompatible. So
the help around the --no-deref option is buggy in a few ways.
The --stdin option did provide a different mechanism for avoiding
dereferencing symbolic-refs: adding a line reading
option no-deref
before every other directive in the input. (Technically, if the user
wants to do the extra work of first determining which refs they want to
update or delete are symbolic, then they only need to put the extra
"option no-deref" lines before the updates of those refs. But in some
cases, that's more work than just adding the "option no-deref" before
every other directive.)
It's easier to allow the user to just pass --no-deref along with --stdin
in order to tell update-ref that the user doesn't want any symbolic ref
to be dereferenced. It also makes the update-ref documentation simpler.
Implement that, and update the documentation to match.
