Retroactively adding a filter can be useful for existing shallow clones as
they allow users to see earlier change histories without downloading all
git objects in a regular --unshallow fetch.
Without this patch, users can make a clone partial by editing the
repository configuration to convert the remote into a promisor, like:
git config core.repositoryFormatVersion 1
git config extensions.partialClone origin
git fetch --unshallow --filter=blob:none origin
Since the hard part of making this work is already in place and such
edits can be error-prone, teach Git to perform the required configuration
change automatically instead.
Note that this change does not modify the existing git behavior which
recognizes setting extensions.partialClone without changing
repositoryFormatVersion.

The upload-pack protocol v2 gave up too early before finding a
common ancestor, resulting in a wasteful fetch from a fork of a
project. This has been corrected to match the behaviour of v0
protocol.
* jt/v2-fetch-nego-fix:
fetch-pack: in protocol v2, reset in_vain upon ACK
fetch-pack: in protocol v2, in_vain only after ACK
fetch-pack: return enum from process_acks()
In the function process_acks() in fetch-pack.c, the variable
received_ack is meant to track that an ACK was received, but it was
never set. This results in negotiation terminating prematurely through
the in_vain counter, when the counter should have been reset upon every
ACK.
Therefore, reset the in_vain counter upon every ACK.

When fetching, Git stops negotiation when it has sent at least
MAX_IN_VAIN (which is 256) "have" lines without having any of them
ACK-ed. But this is supposed to trigger only after the first ACK, as
pack-protocol.txt says:
However, the 256 limit *only* turns on in the canonical client
implementation if we have received at least one "ACK %s continue"
during a prior round. This helps to ensure that at least one common
ancestor is found before we give up entirely.
The code path for protocol v0 observes this, but not protocol v2,
resulting in shorter negotiation rounds but significantly larger
packfiles. Teach the code path for protocol v2 to check this criterion
only after at least one ACK was received.

Since 8cbeba0632 (tests: define GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION,
2019-02-25), it has been possible to run tests with a newer protocol
version by setting the GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION envvar to a version
number. Tests that assume protocol v0 handle this by explicitly
setting
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=
or similar constructs like 'test -z "$GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION" ||
return 0' to declare that they only handle the default (v0) protocol.
The emphasis there is a bit off: it would be clearer to specify
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 to inform the reader that these tests are
specifically testing and relying on details of protocol v0. Do so.
This way, a reader does not need to know what the default protocol
version is, and the tests can continue to work when the default
protocol version used by Git advances past v0.

"git cat-file -e" uses has_object_file, which can fetch from promisor
remotes when an object is missing. These tests end up checking that
that fetch fails instead of for the object being missing.
By luck, the tests pass anyway:
- in one of these tests ("filtering by size"), the fetch fails because
(in protocol v0) the server does not support fetches by SHA-1
- in the second, the object is present but the test could pass even if
it weren't if the fetch succeeds
- in the third, the test sets extensions.partialClone to "arbitrary
string" so that when it tries to fetch, it looks up the "arbitrary
string" remote which does not exist
Use "git rev-list --objects --missing=allow-any", so that the tests
pass for the right reason.
Noticed while testing with protocol v2, which allows fetching by sha1
by default, causing the first fetch to succeed and the test to fail.

The "upload-pack" (the counterpart of "git fetch") needs to disable
commit-graph when responding to a shallow clone/fetch request, but
the way this was done made Git panic, which has been corrected.
* jk/disable-commit-graph-during-upload-pack:
upload-pack: disable commit graph more gently for shallow traversal
commit-graph: bump DIE_ON_LOAD check to actual load-time
When the client has asked for certain shallow options like
"deepen-since", we do a custom rev-list walk that pretends to be
shallow. Before doing so, we have to disable the commit-graph, since it
is not compatible with the shallow view of the repository. That's
handled by 829a321569 (commit-graph: close_commit_graph before shallow
walk, 2018-08-20). That commit literally closes and frees our
repo->objects->commit_graph struct.
That creates an interesting problem for commits that have _already_ been
parsed using the commit graph. Their commit->object.parsed flag is set,
their commit->graph_pos is set, but their commit->maybe_tree may still
be NULL. When somebody later calls repo_get_commit_tree(), we see that
we haven't loaded the tree oid yet and try to get it from the commit
graph. But since it has been freed, we segfault!
So the root of the issue is a data dependency between the commit's
lazy-load of the tree oid and the fact that the commit graph can go
away mid-process. How can we resolve it?
There are a couple of general approaches:
1. The obvious answer is to avoid loading the tree from the graph when
we see that it's NULL. But then what do we return for the tree oid?
If we return NULL, our caller in do_traverse() will rightly
complain that we have no tree. We'd have to fallback to loading the
actual commit object and re-parsing it. That requires teaching
parse_commit_buffer() to understand re-parsing (i.e., not starting
from a clean slate and not leaking any allocated bits like parent
list pointers).
2. When we close the commit graph, walk through the set of in-memory
objects and clear any graph_pos pointers. But this means we also
have to "unparse" any such commits so that we know they still need
to open the commit object to fill in their trees. So it's no less
complicated than (1), and is more expensive (since we clear objects
we might not later need).
3. Stop freeing the commit-graph struct. Continue to let it be used
for lazy-loads of tree oids, but let upload-pack specify that it
shouldn't be used for further commit parsing.
4. Push the whole shallow rev-list out to its own sub-process, with
the commit-graph disabled from the start, giving it a clean memory
space to work from.
I've chosen (3) here. Options (1) and (2) would work, but are
non-trivial to implement. Option (4) is more expensive, and I'm not sure
how complicated it is (shelling out for the actual rev-list part is
easy, but we do then parse the resulting commits internally, and I'm not
clear which parts need to be handling shallow-ness).
The new test in t5500 triggers this segfault, but see the comments there
for how horribly intimate it has to be with how both upload-pack and
commit graphs work.

use

"git fetch-pack --all" used to unnecessarily fail upon seeing an

fetch-pack: test explicitly that --all can fetch tag references pointing to non-commits
fetch-pack: don't try to fetch peel values with --all

* nd/reject-empty-shallow-request:
upload-pack: reject shallow requests that would return nothing
In negotiation using protocol v2, fetch-pack sometimes does not make
full use of the information obtained in the ref advertisement:
specifically, that if the server advertises a commit that the client
also has, the client never needs to inform the server that it has the
commit's parents, since it can just tell the server that it has the
advertised commit and it knows that the server can and will infer the
rest.
This is because, in do_fetch_pack_v2(), rev_list_insert_ref_oid() is
invoked before mark_complete_and_common_ref(). This means that if we
have a commit that is both our ref and their ref, it would be enqueued
by rev_list_insert_ref_oid() as SEEN, and since it is thus already SEEN,
mark_complete_and_common_ref() would not enqueue it.
If mark_complete_and_common_ref() were invoked first, as it is in
do_fetch_pack() for protocol v0, then mark_complete_and_common_ref()
would enqueue it with COMMON_REF | SEEN. The addition of COMMON_REF
ensures that its parents are not sent as "have" lines.
Change the order in do_fetch_pack_v2() to be consistent with
do_fetch_pack(), and to avoid sending unnecessary "have" lines.

When "fetch-pack --all" sees a tag-to-blob on the remote, it
tries to fetch both the tag itself ("refs/tags/foo") and the
peeled value that the remote advertises ("refs/tags/foo^{}").
Asking for the object pointed to by the latter can cause
upload-pack to complain with "not our ref", since it does
not mark the peeled objects with the OUR_REF (unless they
were at the tip of some other ref).
Arguably upload-pack _should_ be marking those peeled
objects. But it never has in the past, since clients would
generally just ask for the tag and expect to get the peeled
value along with it. And that's how "git fetch" works, as
well as older versions of "fetch-pack --all".
The problem was introduced by 5f0fc64513 (fetch-pack:
eliminate spurious error messages, 2012-09-09). Before then,
the matching logic was something like:
if (refname is ill-formed)
do nothing
else if (doing --all)
always consider it matched
else
look through list of sought refs for a match
That commit wanted to flip the order of the second two arms
of that conditional. But we ended up with:
if (refname is ill-formed)
do nothing
else
look through list of sought refs for a match
if (--all and no match so far)
always consider it matched
That means tha an ill-formed ref will trigger the --all
conditional block, even though we should just be ignoring
it. We can fix that by having a single "else" with all of
the well-formed logic, that checks the sought refs and
"--all" in the correct order.

Shallow clones with --shallow-since or --shalow-exclude work by
running rev-list to get all reachable commits, then draw a boundary
between reachable and unreachable and send "shallow" requests based on
that.
The code does miss one corner case: if rev-list returns nothing, we'll
have no border and we'll send no shallow requests back to the client
(i.e. no history cuts). This essentially means a full clone (or a full
branch if the client requests just one branch). One example is the
oldest commit is older than what is specified by --shallow-since.
To avoid this, if rev-list returns nothing, we abort the clone/fetch.
The user could adjust their request (e.g. --shallow-since further back
in the past) and retry.
Another possible option for this case is to fall back to a default
depth (like depth 1). But I don't like too much magic that way because
we may return something unexpected to the user. If they request
"history since 2008" and we return a single depth at 2000, that might
break stuff for them. It is better to tell them that something is
wrong and let them take the best course of action.
Note that we need to die() in get_shallow_commits_by_rev_list()
instead of just checking for empty result from its caller
deepen_by_rev_list() and handling the error there. The reason is,
empty result could be a valid case: if you have commits in year 2013
and you request --shallow-since=year.2000 then you should get a full
clone (i.e. empty result).

In git-fetch, --depth argument is always relative with the latest

where the user wants to make the shallow history, say 3 levels
deeper. It would work if remote refs have not moved yet, but nobody
can guarantee that, especially when that use case is performed a
couple months after the last clone or "git fetch --depth". Also,
modifying shallow boundary using --depth does not work well with
clones created by --since or --not.
This patch fixes that. A new argument --deepen=<N> will add <N> more (*)
parent commits to the current history regardless of where remote refs
are.
Have/Want negotiation is still respected. So if remote refs move, the
server will send two chunks: one between "have" and "want" and another
to extend shallow history. In theory, the client could send no "want"s
in order to get the second chunk only. But the protocol does not allow
that. Either you send no want lines, which means ls-remote; or you
have to send at least one want line that carries deep-relative to the
server..
The main work was done by Dongcan Jiang. I fixed it up here and there.
And of course all the bugs belong to me.
(*) We could even support --deepen=<N> where <N> is negative. In that
case we can cut some history from the shallow clone. This operation
(and --depth=<shorter depth>) does not require interaction with remote
side (and more complicated to implement as a result).

In t5500::check_prot_host_port_path(), diagport is not a variable
used elsewhere and the function is not recursively called so this
can simply lose the "local", which may not be supported by shell
(besides, the function liberally clobbers other variables without
making them "local").
t7403::reset_submodule_urls() overrides the "root" variable used
in the test framework for no good reason; its use is not about
temporarily relocating where the test repositories are created.
This assignment can be made not to clobber the variable by moving
them into the subshells it already uses. Its value is always
$TRASH_DIRECTORY, so we could use it instead there, and this
function that is called only once and its two subshells may not be
necessary (instead, the caller can use "git -C $there config" and
set a value that is derived from $TRASH_DIRECTORY), but this is a
minimum fix that is needed to lose "local".

"git merge" used to allow merging two branches that have no common
base by default, which led to a brand new history of an existing
project created and then get pulled by an unsuspecting maintainer,
which allowed an unnecessary parallel history merged into the
existing project. The command has been taught not to allow this by
default, with an escape hatch "--allow-unrelated-histories" option
to be used in a rare event that merges histories of two projects
that started their lives independently.
* jc/merge-refuse-new-root:
merge: refuse to create too cool a merge by default
While it makes sense to allow merging unrelated histories of two
projects that started independently into one, in the way "gitk" was
merged to "git" itself aka "the coolest merge ever", such a merge is
still an unusual event. Worse, if somebody creates an independent
history by starting from a tarball of an established project and
sends a pull request to the original project, "git merge" however
happily creates such a merge without any sign of something unusual
is happening.
Teach "git merge" to refuse to create such a merge by default,
unless the user passes a new "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to
tell it that the user is aware that two unrelated projects are
merged.
Because such a "two project merge" is a rare event, a configuration
option to always allow such a merge is not added.
We could add the same option to "git pull" and have it passed
through to underlying "git merge". I do not have a fundamental
opposition against such a feature, but this commit does not do so
and instead leaves it as low-hanging fruit for others, because such
a "two project merge" would be done after fetching the other project
into some location in the working tree of an existing project and
making sure how well they fit together, it is sufficient to allow a
local merge without such an option pass-through from "git pull" to
"git merge". Many tests that are updated by this patch does the
pass-through manually by turning:
git pull something
into its equivalent:
git fetch something &&
git merge --allow-unrelated-histories FETCH_HEAD
If somebody is inclined to add such an option, updated tests in this
change need to be adjusted back to:
git pull --allow-unrelated-histories something

Commit 58f2ed0 (remote-curl: pass ref SHA-1 to fetch-pack as well,
2013-12-05) added support for specifying a SHA-1 as well as a ref name.
Add support for specifying just a SHA-1 and set the ref name to the same
value in this case.

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.
The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}"
done
and then carefully proof-read.

An earlier update to the parser that disects an address broke an
address, followed by a colon, followed by an empty string (instead
of the port number).
