"git receive-pack" could have been forced to die by attempting
allocate an unreasonably large amount of memory with a crafted push
certificate; this has been fixed.
* bc/push-cert-receive-fix:
builtin/receive-pack: fix incorrect pointer arithmetic
Removing an entry from a notes tree and then looking another note
entry from the resulting tree using the internal notes API
functions did not work as expected. No in-tree users of the API
has such access pattern, but it still is worth fixing.
* mh/notes-tree-consolidate-fix:
notes: do not break note_tree structure in note_tree_consolidate()
A recent update to "rebase -i" stopped running hooks for the "git
commit" command during "reword" action, which has been fixed.
* js/rebase-i-reword-to-run-hooks:
sequencer: allow the commit-msg hooks to run during a `reword`
sequencer: make commit options more extensible
t7504: document regression: reword no longer calls commit-msg
Some debugging output from "git describe" were marked for l10n,
but some weren't. Mark missing ones for l10n.
* mg/describe-debug-l10n:
l10n: de: translate describe debug terms
describe: localize debug output fully
On many keyboards, typing "@{" involves holding down SHIFT key and
one can easily end up with "@{Up..." when typing "@{upstream}". As
the upstream/push keywords do not appear anywhere else in the syntax,
we can safely accept them case insensitively without introducing
ambiguity or confusion to solve this.
* ab/case-insensitive-upstream-and-push-marker:
rev-parse: match @{upstream}, @{u} and @{push} case-insensitively
Doc update.
* ab/doc-submitting:
doc/SubmittingPatches: show how to get a CLI commit summary
doc/SubmittingPatches: clarify the casing convention for "area: change..."
Doc updates.
* ab/test-readme-updates:
t/README: clarify the test_have_prereq documentation
t/README: change "Inside <X> part" to "Inside the <X> part"
t/README: link to metacpan.org, not search.cpan.org
FreeBSD implementation of getcwd(3) behaved differently when an
intermediate directory is unreadable/unsearchable depending on the
length of the buffer provided, which our strbuf_getcwd() was not
aware of. strbuf_getcwd() has been taught to cope with it better.
* rs/freebsd-getcwd-workaround:
strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSD
A few commands that recently learned the "--recurse-submodule"
option misbehaved when started from a subdirectory of the
superproject.
* bw/recurse-submodules-relative-fix:
ls-files: fix bug when recursing with relative pathspec
ls-files: fix typo in variable name
grep: fix bug when recursing with relative pathspec
setup: allow for prefix to be passed to git commands
grep: fix help text typo
Command line completion updates.
* sg/completion-ctags:
completion: offer ctags symbol names for 'git log -S', '-G' and '-L:'
completion: extract completing ctags symbol names into helper function
completion: put matching ctags symbol names directly into COMPREPLY
The refs completion for large number of refs has been sped up,
partly by giving up disambiguating ambiguous refs and partly by
eliminating most of the shell processing between 'git for-each-ref'
and 'ls-remote' and Bash's completion facility.
* sg/completion-refs-speedup:
completion: speed up branch and tag completion
completion: fill COMPREPLY directly when completing fetch refspecs
completion: fill COMPREPLY directly when completing refs
completion: let 'for-each-ref' sort remote branches for 'checkout' DWIMery
completion: let 'for-each-ref' filter remote branches for 'checkout' DWIMery
completion: let 'for-each-ref' strip the remote name from remote branches
completion: let 'for-each-ref' and 'ls-remote' filter matching refs
completion: don't disambiguate short refs
completion: don't disambiguate tags and branches
completion: support excluding full refs
completion: support completing fully qualified non-fast-forward refspecs
completion: support completing full refs after '--option=refs/<TAB>'
completion: wrap __git_refs() for better option parsing
completion: remove redundant __gitcomp_nl() options from _git_commit()
"what URL do we want to update this submodule?" and "are we
interested in this submodule?" are split into two distinct
concepts, and then the way used to express the latter got extended,
paving a way to make it easier to manage a project with many
submodules and make it possible to later extend use of multiple
worktrees for a project with submodules.
* bw/submodule-is-active:
submodule add: respect submodule.active and submodule.<name>.active
submodule--helper init: set submodule.<name>.active
clone: teach --recurse-submodules to optionally take a pathspec
submodule init: initialize active submodules
submodule: decouple url and submodule interest
submodule--helper clone: check for configured submodules using helper
submodule sync: use submodule--helper is-active
submodule sync: skip work for inactive submodules
submodule status: use submodule--helper is-active
submodule--helper: add is-active subcommand
This is the endgame of the topic to avoid blindly falling back to
".git" when the setup sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository.
A corner case that happens to work right now may be broken by a
call to die("BUG").
* jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo-final:
setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git"
Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has
been deprecated since October 2007, and issues a deprecation
warning message since v2.5.0.
* jc/merge-drop-old-syntax:
merge: drop 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntax
sha1dc/sha1.c wanted to check the endianness of the target platform
at compilation time and used a CPP macro with a rather overly
generic name, "BIGENDIAN", to pass the result of the check around
in the file. It wasn't prepared for the same macro set to 0
(false) by the platform to signal that the target is _not_ a big
endian box, and assumed that the endianness detection logic it has
alone would be the one that is setting the macro, resulting in a
breakage on Windows. This has been fixed by using a bit less
generic name for the same purpose.
* jk/sha1dc:
sha1dc: avoid CPP macro collisions
The name-hash used for detecting paths that are different only in
cases (which matter on case insensitive filesystems) has been
optimized to take advantage of multi-threading when it makes sense.
* jh/memihash-opt:
name-hash: add test-lazy-init-name-hash to .gitignore
name-hash: add perf test for lazy_init_name_hash
name-hash: add test-lazy-init-name-hash
name-hash: perf improvement for lazy_init_name_hash
hashmap: document memihash_cont, hashmap_disallow_rehash api
hashmap: add disallow_rehash setting
hashmap: allow memihash computation to be continued
name-hash: specify initial size for istate.dir_hash table
Code clean-up.
* jk/fast-import-cleanup:
pack.h: define largest possible encoded object size
encode_in_pack_object_header: respect output buffer length
fast-import: use xsnprintf for formatting headers
fast-import: use xsnprintf for writing sha1s
Recent enhancement to "git stash push" command to support pathspec
to allow only a subset of working tree changes to be stashed away
was found to be too chatty and exposed the internal implementation
detail (e.g. when it uses reset to match the index to HEAD before
doing other things, output from reset seeped out). These, and
other chattyness has been fixed.
* tg/stash-push-fixup:
stash: keep untracked files intact in stash -k
stash: pass the pathspec argument to git reset
stash: don't show internal implementation details
"git checkout" is taught the "--recurse-submodules" option.
* sb/checkout-recurse-submodules:
builtin/read-tree: add --recurse-submodules switch

replace snprintf with odb_pack_name()
odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile name
sha1_file.c: make pack-name helper globally accessible
move odb_* declarations out of git-compat-util.h
A few unterminated here documents in tests were fixed, which in
turn revealed incorrect expectations the tests make. These tests
have been updated.
* st/verify-tag:
t7004, t7030: fix here-doc syntax errors
Recent versions of Git treats http alternates (used in dumb http
transport) just like HTTP redirects and requires the client to
enable following it, due to security concerns. But we forgot to
give a warning when we decide not to honor the alternates.
* ew/http-alternates-as-redirects-warning:
http: release strbuf on disabled alternates
http: inform about alternates-as-redirects behavior
"git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
* dp/filter-branch-prune-empty:
p7000: add test for filter-branch with --prune-empty
filter-branch: fix --prune-empty on parentless commits
t7003: ensure --prune-empty removes entire branch when applicable
t7003: ensure --prune-empty can prune root commit
"git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other
side does not allow such an request, failed without much
explanation.
* mm/fetch-show-error-message-on-unadvertised-object:
fetch-pack: add specific error for fetching an unadvertised object
fetch_refs_via_pack: call report_unmatched_refs
fetch-pack: move code to report unmatched refs to a function
"git branch @" created refs/heads/@ as a branch, and in general the
code that handled @{-1} and @{upstream} was a bit too loose in
disambiguating.
* jk/interpret-branch-name:
checkout: restrict @-expansions when finding branch
strbuf_check_ref_format(): expand only local branches
branch: restrict @-expansions when deleting
t3204: test git-branch @-expansion corner cases
interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansions
strbuf_branchname: add docstring
strbuf_branchname: drop return value
interpret_branch_name: move docstring to header file
interpret_branch_name(): handle auto-namelen for @{-1}
A few tests were run conditionally under (rare) conditions where
they cannot be run (like running cvs tests under 'root' account).
* ab/cond-skip-tests:
gitweb tests: skip tests when we don't have Time::HiRes
gitweb tests: change confusing "skip_all" phrasing
cvs tests: skip tests that call "cvs commit" when running as root
user.email that consists of only cruft chars should consistently
error out, but didn't.
* jk/ident-empty:
ident: do not ignore empty config name/email
ident: reject all-crud ident name
ident: handle NULL email when complaining of empty name
ident: mark error messages for translation
"git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth
when reusing delta from existing packs. This has been corrected.
* jk/delta-chain-limit:
pack-objects: convert recursion to iteration in break_delta_chain()
pack-objects: enforce --depth limit in reused deltas
Teach the "debug" helper used in the test framework that allows a
command to run under "gdb" to make the session interactive.
* sg/test-with-stdin:
tests: make the 'test_pause' helper work in non-verbose mode
tests: create an interactive gdb session with the 'debug' helper
Picking two versions of Git and running tests to make sure the
older one and the newer one interoperate happily has now become
possible.
* jk/interop-test:
t/interop: add test of old clients against modern git-daemon
t: add an interoperability test harness
