When running "fetch -q", a long silence while the sender side
computes the set of objects to send can be mistaken by proxies as
dropped connection. The server side has been taught to send a small
empty messages to keep the connection alive.
* jk/upload-pack-keepalive:
upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds
upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation
Instead of typing four capital letters "HEAD", you can say "@" now,
e.g. "git log @".
* fc/at-head:
Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
sha1-name: pass len argument to interpret_branch_name()
"git check-ignore" follows the same rule as "git add" and "git
status" in that the ignore/exclude mechanism does not take effect
on paths that are already tracked. With "--no-index" option, it
can be used to diagnose which paths that should have been ignored
have been mistakenly added to the index.
* dw/check-ignore-sans-index:
check-ignore: Add option to ignore index contents
From the commit log template, remove irrelevant "advice" messages
that are shared with "git status" output.
* mm/commit-template-squelch-advice-messages:
commit: disable status hints when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG
wt-status: turn advice_status_hints into a field of wt_status
commit: factor status configuration is a helper function
Give "update-refs" a "--stdin" option to read multiple update
requests and perform them in an all-or-none fashion.
* bk/refs-multi-update:
update-ref: add test cases covering --stdin signature
update-ref: support multiple simultaneous updates
refs: add update_refs for multiple simultaneous updates
refs: add function to repack without multiple refs
refs: factor delete_ref loose ref step into a helper
refs: factor update_ref steps into helpers
refs: report ref type from lock_any_ref_for_update
reset: rename update_refs to reset_refs
Just like "make -C <directory>", make "git -C <directory> ..." to
go there before doing anything else.
* nr/git-cd-to-a-directory:
t0056: "git -C" test updates
git: run in a directory given with -C option
Work around a bug in FreeBSD shell that caused a regression to "git
rebase" in v1.8.4. May need to be later applied to 'maint'.
* mm/rebase-continue-freebsd-WB:
rebase: fix run_specific_rebase's use of "return" on FreeBSD
Fix a minor regression in v1.8.3.2 and later that made it
impossible to base your local work on anything but a local branch
of the upstream repository you are tracking from.
* jh/checkout-auto-tracking:
t3200: fix failure on case-insensitive filesystems
branch.c: Relax unnecessary requirement on upstream's remote ref name
t3200: Add test demonstrating minor regression in 41c21f2
Refer to branch.<name>.remote/merge when documenting --track
t3200: Minor fix when preparing for tracking failure
t2024: Fix &&-chaining and a couple of typos
When the webserver responds with "405 Method Not Allowed", it
should tell the client what methods are allowed with the "Allow"
header.
* bc/http-backend-allow-405:
http-backend: provide Allow header for 405
Micro optimize hash function used in the object hash table.
* np/lookup-object-hashing:
lookup_object: remove hashtable_index() and optimize hash_obj()
Just like "git checkout -" knows to check out and "git merge -"
knows to merge the branch you were previously on, "git cherry-pick"
now understands "git cherry-pick -" to pick from the previous
branch.
* hu/cherry-pick-previous-branch:
cherry-pick: allow "-" as abbreviation of '@{-1}'
"git status" now omits the prefix to make its output a comment in a
commit log editor, which is not necessary for human consumption.
We may want to tighten the output to omit unnecessary trailing blank
lines, but that does not have to be in the scope of this series.
* mm/status-without-comment-char:
t7508: avoid non-portable sed expression
status: add missing blank line after list of "other" files
tests: don't set status.displayCommentPrefix file-wide
status: disable display of '#' comment prefix by default
submodule summary: ignore --for-status option
wt-status: use argv_array API
builtin/stripspace.c: fix broken indentation
Make "foo^{tag}" to peel a tag to itself, i.e. no-op., and fail if
"foo" is not a tag. "git rev-parse --verify v1.0^{tag}" would be a
more convenient way to say "test $(git cat-file -t v1.0) = tag".
* rh/peeling-tag-to-tag:
peel_onion: do not assume length of x_type globals
peel_onion(): add support for <rev>^{tag}
"git branch -v -v" (and "git status") did not distinguish among a
branch that does not build on any other branch, a branch that is in
sync with the branch it builds on, and a branch that is configured
to build on some other branch that no longer exists.
* jx/branch-vv-always-compare-with-upstream:
status: always show tracking branch even no change
branch: report invalid tracking branch as gone
When there is no sufficient overlap between old and new history
during a fetch into a shallow repository, we unnecessarily sent
objects the sending side knows the receiving end has.
* nd/fetch-into-shallow:
Add testcase for needless objects during a shallow fetch
list-objects: mark more commits as edges in mark_edges_uninteresting
list-objects: reduce one argument in mark_edges_uninteresting
upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to pack-objects
shallow: add setup_temporary_shallow()
shallow: only add shallow graft points to new shallow file
move setup_alternate_shallow and write_shallow_commits to shallow.c
Instead of repeating the text to record as the commit log message
and string we expect to see in "log" output, use the same variable
to avoid them going out of sync.
Use different names for test files in different directories to
improve our chance to catch future breakages that makes "-C <dir>"
go to a place that is different from what was specified.

Some people still use rather old versions of bash, which cannot grok
some constructs like 'printf -v varname' the prompt and completion
code started to use recently.
* bc/completion-for-bash-3.0:
contrib/git-prompt.sh: handle missing 'printf -v' more gracefully
t9902-completion.sh: old Bash still does not support array+=('') notation
git-completion.bash: use correct Bash/Zsh array length syntax
Fixes a minor bug in "git rebase -i" (there could be others, as the
root cause is pretty generic) where the code feeds a random, data
dependeant string to 'echo' and expects it to come out literally.
* mm/no-shell-escape-in-die-message:
die_with_status: use "printf '%s\n'", not "echo"
Output from "git log --full-diff -- <pathspec>" looked strange,
because comparison was done with the previous ancestor that touched
the specified <pathspec>, causing the patches for paths outside the
pathspec to show more than the single commit has changed.
* tr/log-full-diff-keep-true-parents:
log: use true parents for diff when walking reflogs
log: use true parents for diff even when rewriting
The auto-tag-following code in "git fetch" tries to reuse the same
transport twice when the serving end does not cooperate and does
not give tags that point to commits that are asked for as part of
the primary transfer. Unfortunately, Git-aware transport helper
interface is not designed to be used more than once, hence this
does not work over smart-http transfer.
* jc/transport-do-not-use-connect-twice-in-fetch:
builtin/fetch.c: Fix a sparse warning
fetch: work around "transport-take-over" hack
fetch: refactor code that fetches leftover tags
fetch: refactor code that prepares a transport
fetch: rename file-scope global "transport" to "gtransport"
t5802: add test for connect helper
Send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a smaller but still
reasonably large chunks, which would improve the latency when the
operation needs to be killed and incidentally works around broken
64-bit systems that cannot take a 2GB write or read in one go.
* sp/clip-read-write-to-8mb:
Revert "compat/clipped-write.c: large write(2) fails on Mac OS X/XNU"
xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB
While normalizing a URL, we forgot that the buffer that holds it
could be relocated when it grows, which was a brown-paper-bag bug
that can lead to a crash introduced on 'master' post 1.8.4 release.
* jc/url-match:
urlmatch.c: recompute pointer after append_normalized_escapes
"git cvsserver" computed the permission mode bits incorrectly for
executable files.
* jc/cvsserver-perm-bit-fix:
cvsserver: pick up the right mode bits
When send-email comes up with an error message to die with upon
failure to start an SSL session, it tried to read the error string
from a wrong place.
* bc/send-email-ssl-die-message-fix:
send-email: don't call methods on undefined values
"git-svn" used with SVN 1.8.0 when talking over https:// connection
dumped core due to a bug in the serf library that SVN uses. Work
it around on our side, even though the SVN side is being fixed.
* uh/git-svn-serf-fix:
git-svn: fix termination issues for remote svn connections
* fc/contrib-bzr-hg-fixes:
contrib/remote-helpers: quote variable references in redirection targets
contrib/remote-helpers: style updates for test scripts
remote-hg: use notes to keep track of Hg revisions
remote-helpers: cleanup more global variables
remote-helpers: trivial style fixes
remote-hg: improve basic test
remote-hg: add missing &&s in the test
remote-hg: fix test
remote-bzr: make bzr branches configurable per-repo
remote-bzr: fix export of utf-8 authors
The implementation of "add -i" has a crippling code to work around
ActiveState Perl limitation but it by mistake also triggered on Git
for Windows where MSYS perl is used.
* js/add-i-mingw:
add--interactive: fix external command invocation on Windows
A packfile that stores the same object more than once is broken and
will be rejected by "git index-pack" that is run when receiving data
over the wire.
* jk/duplicate-objects-in-packs:
t5308: check that index-pack --strict detects duplicate objects
test index-pack on packs with recoverable delta cycles
add tests for indexing packs with delta cycles
sha1-lookup: handle duplicate keys with GIT_USE_LOOKUP
test-sha1: add a binary output mode
We made sure that we notice the user-supplied GIT_DIR is actually a
gitfile, but did not do the same when the default ".git" is a gitfile.
* nd/git-dir-pointing-at-gitfile:
Make setup_git_env() resolve .git file when $GIT_DIR is not specified
If a build-time fallback is set to "cat" instead of "less", we
should apply the same "no subprocess or pipe" optimization as we
apply to user-supplied GIT_PAGER=cat.
* jk/pager-bypass-cat-for-default-pager:
pager: turn on "cat" optimization for DEFAULT_PAGER
Modernize tests.
* fc/rev-parse-test-updates:
rev-parse test: use standard test functions for setup
rev-parse test: use test_cmp instead of "test" builtin
rev-parse test: use test_must_fail, not "if <command>; then false; fi"
rev-parse test: modernize quoting and whitespace
Remove now disused remote-helpers framework for helpers written in
Python.
* jk/remove-remote-helpers-in-python:
git_remote_helpers: remove little used Python library
When we converted many documents that were traditionally text-only
to be formatted to AsciiDoc, we did not update links that point at
them to refer to the formatted HTML files.
* ss/doclinks:
Documentation: make AsciiDoc links always point to HTML files
We liberally use "committish" and "commit-ish" (and "treeish" and
"tree-ish"); as these are non-words, let's unify these terms to
their dashed form. More importantly, clarify the documentation on
object peeling using these terms.
* rh/ishes-doc:
glossary: fix and clarify the definition of 'ref'
revisions.txt: fix and clarify <rev>^{<type>}
glossary: more precise definition of tree-ish (a.k.a. treeish)
use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
use 'tree-ish' instead of 'treeish'
glossary: define commit-ish (a.k.a. committish)
glossary: mention 'treeish' as an alternative to 'tree-ish'
When the user types "git diff" outside a working tree, thinking he
is inside one, the current error message that is a single-liner
"usage: git diff --no-index <path> <path>" may not be sufficient to
make him realize the mistake. Add "Not a git repository" to the
error message when we fell into the "--no-index" mode without an
explicit command line option to instruct us to do so.
* dw/diff-no-index-doc:
diff --no-index: describe in a separate paragraph
diff --no-index: clarify operation when not inside a repository
Update the user's manual to more recent versions of Git.
* ta/user-manual:
"git prune" is safe
Remove irrelevant reference from "Tying it all together"
Remove unnecessary historical note from "Object storage format"
Improve section "Merging multiple trees"
Improve section "Manipulating branches"
Simplify "How to make a commit"
Fix some typos and improve wording
Use "git merge" instead of "git pull ."
Use current output for "git repack"
Use current "detached HEAD" message
Call it "Git User Manual" and remove reference to very old Git version
