The start_delayed_progress() method is a preferred way to show
optional progress to users as it ignores steps that take less
than two seconds. However, this makes testing unreliable as tests
expect to be very fast.
In addition, users may want to decrease or increase this time
interval depending on their preferences for terminal noise.
Create the GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY environment variable to control
the delay set during start_delayed_progress(). Set the value
in some tests to guarantee their output remains consistent.

We deprecated `--preserve-merges` in favor of `--rebase-merges`; Let's
reflect that in `git svn`.
Note: Even when the user asks for `--preserve-merges`, we now silently
pass `--rebase-merges` to `git rebase` instead. Technically, this is a
change of behavior. But practically, `git svn` only ever asks for a
non-interactive rebase, and `--preserve-merges` and `--rebase-merges`
are on par with regard to that.

The 'git sparse-checkout disable' subcommand returns a user to a
full working directory. The old process for doing this required
updating the sparse-checkout file with the "/*" pattern and then
updating the working directory with core.sparseCheckout enabled.
Finally, the sparse-checkout file could be removed and the config
setting disabled.
However, it is valuable to keep a user's sparse-checkout file
intact so they can re-enable the sparse-checkout they previously
used with 'git sparse-checkout init'. This is now possible with
the in-process mechanism for updating the working directory.

The sparse-checkout feature can have quadratic performance as
the number of patterns and number of entries in the index grow.
If there are 1,000 patterns and 1,000,000 entries, this time can
be very significant.
Create a new Boolean config option, core.sparseCheckoutCone, to
indicate that we expect the sparse-checkout file to contain a
more limited set of patterns. This is a separate config setting
from core.sparseCheckout to avoid breaking older clients by
introducing a tri-state option.
The config option does nothing right now, but will be expanded
upon in a later commit.

The 'git sparse-checkout set' subcommand takes a list of patterns
as arguments and writes them to the sparse-checkout file. Then, it
updates the working directory using 'git read-tree -mu HEAD'.
The 'set' subcommand will replace the entire contents of the
sparse-checkout file. The write_patterns_and_update() method is
extracted from cmd_sparse_checkout() to make it easier to implement
'add' and/or 'remove' subcommands in the future.
If the core.sparseCheckout config setting is disabled, then enable
the config setting in the worktree config. If we set the config
this way and the sparse-checkout fails, then re-disable the config
setting.

When someone wants to clone a large repository, but plans to work
using a sparse-checkout file, they either need to do a full
checkout first and then reduce the patterns they included, or
clone with --no-checkout, set up their patterns, and then run
a checkout manually. This requires knowing a lot about the repo
shape and how sparse-checkout works.
Add a new '--sparse' option to 'git clone' that initializes the
sparse-checkout file to include the following patterns:
/*
!/*/
These patterns include every file in the root directory, but
no directories. This allows a repo to include files like a
README or a bootstrapping script to grow enlistments from that
point.
During the 'git sparse-checkout init' call, we must first look
to see if HEAD is valid, since 'git clone' does not have a valid
HEAD at the point where it initializes the sparse-checkout. The
following checkout within the clone command will create the HEAD
ref and update the working directory correctly.

Getting started with a sparse-checkout file can be daunting. Help
users start their sparse enlistment using 'git sparse-checkout init'.
This will set 'core.sparseCheckout=true' in their config, write
an initial set of patterns to the sparse-checkout file, and update
their working directory.
Make sure to use the `extensions.worktreeConfig` setting and write
the sparse checkout config to the worktree-specific config file.
This avoids confusing interactions with other worktrees.
The use of running another process for 'git read-tree' is sub-
optimal. This will be removed in a later change.

The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its
only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for
'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the
.git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run
the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the
working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires
care.
Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain
feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This
builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the
sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory.
The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree"
documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context.
Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to
a more restricted pattern set.

Although `--notes=` accepts and handles a tree-ish just fine, it isn't a
common use-case for users to pass in bare trees. By having "treeish", it
makes it harder to click in users' minds that the argument here is the
same type as the `notes.displayRef` configuration variable, for example.
Change `treeish` to `ref` so that it will be easier for users to make
this connection.
Note that we don't completely lose the notion that `--notes=` can accept
a tree-ish. In git-notes.txt, we have
It is also permitted for a notes ref to point directly to a tree
object, in which case the history of the notes can be read with
`git log -p -g <refname>`.

The standard format for referencing other commits within some projects
(such as git.git) is the reference format. This is described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as
If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
branch, use the format "abbreviated hash (subject, date)", like this:
....
Commit f86a374 (pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak, 2015-03-30)
noticed that ...
....
Since this format is so commonly used, standardize it as a pretty
format.
The tests that are implemented essentially show that the format-string
does not change in response to various log options. This is useful
because, for future developers, it shows that we've considered the
limitations of the "canned format-string" approach and we are fine with
them.

Quoting SZEDER Gábor[1],
SubmittingPatches is simply wrong: our de-facto standard format for
referencing other commits does not enclose the subject in a pair of
double-quotes:
$ git log v2.24.0 |grep -E '[0-9a-f]{7} \("' |wc -l
785
$ git log v2.24.0 |grep -E '[0-9a-f]{7} \([^"]' |wc -l
2276
Those double-quotes don't add any value to the references, but they
result in weird looking references for 1083 of our commits whose
subject lines happen to end with double-quotes, e.g.:
f23a465132 ("hashmap_get{,_from_hash} return "struct hashmap_entry *"", 2019-10-06)
and without those unnecessary pair of double-quotes we would have
~3000 more commits whose summary would fit on a single line.
Remove references to the enclosing double-quotes from SubmittingPatches
since our de-facto standard for referencing commits does not actually
use them.

Ever since it was introduced in 7cceca5ccc (Add 'git rev-parse
--show-toplevel' option., 2010-01-12), the --show-toplevel option has
treated a missing working tree as a quiet success: it neither prints a
toplevel path, but nor does it report any kind of error.
While a caller could distinguish this case by looking for an empty
response, the behavior is rather confusing. We're better off complaining
that there is no working tree, as other internal commands would do in
similar cases (e.g., "git status" or any builtin with NEED_WORK_TREE set
would just die()). So let's do the same here.
While we're at it, let's clarify the documentation and add some tests,
both for the new behavior and for the more mundane case (which was not

Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in
helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the
`run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in
`add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the
corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and
calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented
directly in libgit.a.
At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it
cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the
`run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it
is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the
PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git.
The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows
we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in
Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned
process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from
implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl
script.
The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the
test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the
conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass,
even at each of the incremental conversion steps).

The 'git commit-graph read' subcommand is used in test scripts to check
that the commit-graph contents match the expected data. Mostly, this
helps check the header information and the list of chunks. Users do not
need this information, so move the functionality to a test helper.

While `git update-index` mostly ignores paths referring to index entries
whose skip-worktree bit is set, in b4d1690df1 (Teach Git to respect
skip-worktree bit (reading part), 2009-08-20), for reasons that are not
entirely obvious, the `--remove` option was made special: it _does_
remove index entries even if their skip-worktree bit is set.
Seeing as this behavior has been in place for a decade now, it does not
make sense to change it.
However, in preparation for fixing a bug in `git stash` where it
pretends that skip-worktree entries have actually been removed, we need
a mode where `git update-index` leaves all skip-worktree entries alone,
even if the `--remove` option was passed.

We recently regressed our rendering with Asciidoctor of "literal"
elements in our manpages, i.e, stuff we have placed within `backticks`
in order to render as monospace. In particular, we lost the bold
rendering of such literal text.
The culprit is f6461b82b9 ("Documentation: fix build with Asciidoctor 2",
2019-09-15), where we switched from DocBook 4.5 to DocBook 5 with
Asciidoctor. As part of the switch, we started using the namespaced
DocBook XSLT stylesheets rather than the non-namespaced ones. (See
f6461b82b9 for more details on why we changed to the namespaced ones.)
The bold literals are implemented as an XSLT snippet <xsl:template
match="literal">...</xsl:template>. Now that we use namespaces, this
doesn't pick up our literals like it used to.
Match for "d:literal" in addition to just "literal", after defining the
d namespace. ("d" is what
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
uses.) Note that we need to keep matching without the namespace for
AsciiDoc.
This boldness was introduced by 5121a6d993 ("Documentation: option to
render literal text as bold for manpages", 2009-03-27) and made the
default in 5945717009 ("Documentation: bold literals in man",
2016-05-31).
One reason this was not caught in review is that our doc-diff tool diffs
without any boldness, i.e., it "only" compares text. As pointed out by
Peff in review of this patch, one can use `MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1
./doc-diff <...>`
This has been optically tested with AsciiDoc 8.6.10, Asciidoctor 1.5.5
and Asciidoctor 2.0.10. I've also verified that doc-diff produces the
empty output for all three programs, as expected, and that with the
MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING trick, AsciiDoc yields no diff, whereas with
Asciidoctor, we get bold literals, just like we want.

Some of the content which could have gone here already exists elsewhere:

When pushing more than one reference with the --atomic option, the
server is supposed to perform a single atomic transaction to update the
references, leaving them either all to succeed or all to fail. This
works fine when pushing locally or over SSH, but when pushing over HTTP,
we fail to pass the atomic capability to the remote side. In fact, we
have not reported this capability to any remote helpers during the life
of the feature.
Now normally, things happen to work nevertheless, since we actually
check for most types of failures, such as non-fast-forward updates, on
the client side, and just abort the entire attempt. However, if the
server side reports a problem, such as the inability to lock a ref, the
transaction isn't atomic, because we haven't passed the appropriate
capability over and the remote side has no way of knowing that we wanted
atomic behavior.
Fix this by passing the option from the transport code through to remote
helpers, and from the HTTP remote helper down to send-pack. With this
change, we can detect if the server side rejects the push and report
back appropriately. Note the difference in the messages: the remote
side reports "atomic transaction failed", while our own checking rejects
pushes with the message "atomic push failed".
Document the atomic option in the remote helper documentation, so other
implementers can implement it if they like.

Existing documentation on object walks seems to be primarily intended
as a reference for those already familiar with the procedure. This
tutorial attempts to give an entry-level guide to a couple of bare-bones
object walks so that new Git contributors can learn the concepts
without having to wade through options parsing or special casing.
The target audience is a Git contributor who is just getting started
with the concept of object walking. The goal is to prepare this
contributor to be able to understand and modify existing commands which
perform revision walks more easily, although it will also prepare
contributors to create new commands which perform walks.
The tutorial covers a basic overview of the structs involved during
object walk, setting up a basic commit walk, setting up a basic
all-object walk, and adding some configuration changes to both walk
types. It intentionally does not cover how to create new commands or
search for options from the command line or gitconfigs.
There is an associated patchset at

The markup used in user-manual has been updated to work better with
asciidoctor.
* ma/user-manual-markup-update:
user-manual.txt: render ASCII art correctly under Asciidoctor
asciidoctor-extensions.rb: handle "book" doctype in linkgit
user-manual.txt: change header notation
user-manual.txt: add missing section label
Start using DocBook 5 (instead of DocBook 4.5) as Asciidoctor 2.0
no longer works with the older one.
* bc/doc-use-docbook-5:
Documentation: fix build with Asciidoctor 2
Update support for Asciidoctor documentation toolchain.
* ma/asciidoctor-refmiscinfo:
doc-diff: replace --cut-header-footer with --cut-footer
asciidoctor-extensions: provide `<refmiscinfo/>`
Doc/Makefile: give mansource/-version/-manual attributes
The synopsis section in git-rev-list.txt has grown to be a huge list
that probably needs its own synopsis. Since the list is huge, users may
be given the false impression that the list is complete, however it is
not. It is missing many of the available options.
Since the list of options in the synopsis is not only annoying but
actively harmful, replace it with `[<options>]` so users know to
explicitly look through the documentation for further information.
While we're at it, update the optional path notation so that it is more
modern.

So far, `--jobs=<n>` only parallelizes submodule fetches/clones, not
`--multiple` fetches, which is unintuitive, given that the option's name
does not say anything about submodules in particular.
Let's change that. With this patch, also fetches from multiple remotes
are parallelized.
For backwards-compatibility (and to prepare for a use case where
submodule and multiple-remote fetches may need different parallelization
limits), the config setting `submodule.fetchJobs` still only controls
the submodule part of `git fetch`, while the newly-introduced setting
`fetch.parallel` controls both (but can be overridden for submodules
with `submodule.fetchJobs`).

Add a new "discard" event type for trace2 event destinations. When the
trace2 file count check creates a sentinel file, it will include the
normal trace2 output in the sentinel, along with this new discard
event.
Writing this message into the sentinel file is useful for tracking how
often the file count check triggers in practice.
Bump up the event format version since we've added a new event type.

trace2 can write files into a target directory. With heavy usage, this
directory can fill up with files, causing difficulty for
trace-processing systems.
This patch adds a config option (trace2.maxFiles) to set a maximum
number of files that trace2 will write to a target directory. The
following behavior is enabled when the maxFiles is set to a positive
integer:
When trace2 would write a file to a target directory, first check
whether or not the traces should be discarded. Traces should be
discarded if:
* there is a sentinel file declaring that there are too many files
* OR, the number of files exceeds trace2.maxFiles.
In the latter case, we create a sentinel file named git-trace2-discard
to speed up future checks.
The assumption is that a separate trace-processing system is dealing
with the generated traces; once it processes and removes the sentinel
file, it should be safe to generate new trace files again.
The default value for trace2.maxFiles is zero, which disables the file
count check.
The config can also be overridden with a new environment variable:
GIT_TRACE2_MAX_FILES.

Make it explicit that we always want trace2 "version" events to be the
first event of any trace session. Also list the changes that would or
would not cause the EVENT format version field to be incremented.

Move the description of trace2's target-directory behavior into the
shared trace2-target-values file so that it is included in both the
git-config and api-trace2 docs. Leave the SID discussion only in
api-trace2 since it's a technical detail.

Add a new option, --mark-tags, which will output mark identifiers with
each tag object. This improves the incremental export story with
--export-marks since it will allow us to record that annotated tags have
been exported, and it is also needed as a step towards supporting nested
tags.

fast-export and fast-import have nice --import-marks flags which allow
for incremental migrations. However, if there is a mark in
fast-export's file of marks without a corresponding mark in the one for
fast-import, then we run the risk that fast-export tries to send new
objects relative to the mark it knows which fast-import does not,
causing fast-import to fail.
This arises in practice when there is a filter of some sort running
between the fast-export and fast-import processes which prunes some
commits programmatically. Provide such a filter with the ability to
alias pruned commits to their most recent non-pruned ancestor.

Mark identifiers are used in fast-export and fast-import to provide a
label to refer to earlier content. Blobs are given labels because they
need to be referenced in the commits where they first appear with a
given filename, and commits are given labels because they can be the
parents of other commits. Tags were never given labels, probably
because they were viewed as unnecessary, but that presents two problems:
1. It leaves us without a way of referring to previous tags if we
want to create a tag of a tag (or higher nestings).
2. It leaves us with no way of recording that a tag has already been
imported when using --export-marks and --import-marks.
Fix these problems by allowing an optional mark label for tags.

A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit
graph after finishing.
* ds/commit-graph-on-fetch:
fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting
The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing
got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and
stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for
things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a
path is "included".
* ds/include-exclude:
unpack-trees: rename 'is_excluded_from_list()'
treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern'
treewide: rename 'EXCL_FLAG_' to 'PATTERN_FLAG_'
treewide: rename 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct pattern_list'
