Protocol v2 became the default in v2.26.0 via684ceae32d(fetch: default to protocol version 2, 2019-12-23). More widespread use turned up a regression in negotiation. That was fixed in v2.27.0 via4fa3f00abb(fetch-pack: in protocol v2, in_vain only after ACK, 2020-04-27), but we also reverted the default to v0 as a precuation in11c7f2a30b(Revert "fetch: default to protocol version 2", 2020-04-22). In v2.28.0, we re-enabled it for experimental users with3697caf4b9(config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2, 2020-05-20) and haven't heard any complaints. v2.28 has only been out for 2 months, but I'd generally expect people turning on feature.experimental to also stay pretty up-to-date. So we're not likely to collect much more data by waiting. In addition, we have no further reports from people running v2.26.0, and of course some people have been setting protocol.version manually for ages. Let's move forward with v2 as the default again. It's possible there are still lurking bugs, but we won't know until it gets more widespread use. And we can find and squash them just like any other bug at this point.

feature.*::
|
|
The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
|
|
a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
|
|
developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
|
|
In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
|
|
|
|
feature.experimental::
|
|
Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
|
|
future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
|
|
with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
|
|
have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
|
|
setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
|
|
features. The new default values are:
|
|
+
|
|
* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
|
|
skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
|
|
|
|
feature.manyFiles::
|
|
Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
|
|
working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
|
|
`git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
|
|
+
|
|
* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
|
|
+
|
|
* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
|
|
that mtime is working on your machine.
