UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be

Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.
Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.

When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12,
2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item
to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it.
That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the
'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores
the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway,
the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false.
This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in
this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without
uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't
intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being
vulnerable.
Simplify and limit the attack surface by making uploadpack.allowFilter
disable the feature, not just the advertisement of it.

Add a --prune-tags option to git-fetch, along with fetch.pruneTags
config option and a -P shorthand (-p is --prune). This allows for
doing any of:
git fetch -p -P
git fetch --prune --prune-tags
git fetch -p -P origin
git fetch --prune --prune-tags origin
Or simply:
git config fetch.prune true &&
git config fetch.pruneTags true &&
git fetch
Instead of the much more verbose:
git fetch --prune origin 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
Before this feature it was painful to support the use-case of pulling
from a repo which is having both its branches *and* tags deleted
regularly, and have our local references to reflect upstream.
At work we create deployment tags in the repo for each rollout, and
there's *lots* of those, so they're archived within weeks for
performance reasons.
Without this change it's hard to centrally configure such repos in
/etc/gitconfig (on servers that are only used for working with
them). You need to set fetch.prune=true globally, and then for each
repo:
git -C {} config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" "^\+*refs/tags/\*:refs/tags/\*$"
Now I can simply set fetch.pruneTags=true in /etc/gitconfig as well,
and users running "git pull" will automatically get the pruning
semantics I want.
Even though "git remote" has corresponding "prune" and "update
--prune" subcommands I'm intentionally not adding a corresponding
prune-tags or "update --prune --prune-tags" mode to that command.
It's advertised (as noted in my recent "git remote doc: correct
dangerous lies about what prune does") as only modifying remote
tracking references, whereas any --prune-tags option is always going
to modify what from the user's perspective is a local copy of the tag,
since there's no such thing as a remote tracking tag.
Ideally add_prune_tags_to_fetch_refspec() would be something that
would use ALLOC_GROW() to grow the 'fetch` member of the 'remote'
struct. Instead I'm realloc-ing remote->fetch and adding the
tag_refspec to the end.
The reason is that parse_{fetch,push}_refspec which allocate the
refspec (ultimately remote->fetch) struct are called many places that
don't have access to a 'remote' struct. It would be hard to change all
their callsites to be amenable to carry around the bookkeeping
variables required for dynamic allocation.
All the other callers of the API first incrementally construct the
string version of the refspec in remote->fetch_refspec via
add_fetch_refspec(), before finally calling parse_fetch_refspec() via
some variation of remote_get().
It's less of a pain to deal with the one special case that needs to
modify already constructed refspecs than to chase down and change all
the other callsites. The API I'm adding is intentionally not
generalized because if we add more of these we'd probably want to
re-visit how this is done.

When a graphical GIT_EDITOR is spawned by a Git command that opens
and waits for user input (e.g. "git rebase -i"), then the editor window
might be obscured by other windows. The user might be left staring at
the original Git terminal window without even realizing that s/he needs
to interact with another window before Git can proceed. To this user Git
appears hanging.
Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original
terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal
supports erasing the last line. Also, make sure that our message is
terminated with a whitespace so that any message the editor may show
upon starting up will be kept separate from our message.
Power users might not want to see this message or their editor might
already print such a message (e.g. emacsclient). Allow these users to
suppress the message by disabling the "advice.waitingForEditor" config.
The standard advise() function is not used here as it would always add

Android's "repo" tool is a tool for managing a large codebase
consisting of multiple smaller repositories, similar to Git's
submodule feature. Starting with Git 94b8ae5a (ssh: introduce a
'simple' ssh variant, 2017-10-16), users noticed that it stopped
handling the port in ssh:// URLs.
The cause: when it encounters ssh:// URLs, repo pre-connects to the
server and sets GIT_SSH to a helper ".repo/repo/git_ssh" that reuses
that connection. Before 94b8ae5a, the helper was assumed to support
OpenSSH options for lack of a better guess and got passed a -p option
to set the port. After that patch, it uses the new default of a
simple helper that does not accept an option to set the port.
The next release of "repo" will set GIT_SSH_VARIANT to "ssh" to avoid
that. But users of old versions and of other similar GIT_SSH
implementations would not get the benefit of that fix.
So update the default to use OpenSSH options again, with a twist. As
observed in 94b8ae5a, we cannot assume that $GIT_SSH always handles
OpenSSH options: common helpers such as travis-ci's dpl[*] are
configured using GIT_SSH and do not accept OpenSSH options. So make
the default a new variant "auto", with the following behavior:
1. First, check for a recognized basename, like today.
2. If the basename is not recognized, check whether $GIT_SSH supports
OpenSSH options by running
$GIT_SSH -G <options> <host>
This returns status 0 and prints configuration in OpenSSH if it
recognizes all <options> and returns status 255 if it encounters
an unrecognized option. A wrapper script like
exec ssh -- "$@"
would fail with
ssh: Could not resolve hostname -g: Name or service not known
, correctly reflecting that it does not support OpenSSH options.
The command is run with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to
/dev/null so even a command that expects a terminal would exit
immediately.
3. Based on the result from step (2), behave like "ssh" (if it
succeeded) or "simple" (if it failed).
This way, the default ssh variant for unrecognized commands can handle
both the repo and dpl cases as intended.
This autodetection has been running on Google workstations since
2017-10-23 with no reported negative effects.

This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply
stepping back to the state before plumbing commands started paying
attention to "color.ui" configuration variable.
Let's run with this one.
* jk/ref-filter-colors-fix:
tag: respect color.ui config
Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"
Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests"
Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
This reverts commit 6be4595edb.
That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so
that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions
in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk
config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the
plumbing diff commands began to generate color output.
This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in
git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying
to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to
'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created
even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git
-c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some
commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that
by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are
getting pretty confusing.
Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off
the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of
"always", which this revert does.
Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged
in by da15b78e52. Most of that
series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the
weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping
for a few reasons:
- there are some other preparatory cleanups, like
e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03)
- it adds "--color" options more consistently in
0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter
users, 2017-10-03)
- some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust
and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use
test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03)
- the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color",
and we should be modeling that consistently
We can individually revert the few commits necessary to
restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this
patch).
Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test
added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now.

When using the 'ssh' transport, the '-o' option is used to specify an
environment variable which should be set on the remote end. This allows
git to send additional information when contacting the server,
requesting the use of a different protocol version via the
'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable like so: "-o SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL".
Unfortunately not all ssh variants support the sending of environment
variables to the remote end. To account for this, only use the '-o'
option for ssh variants which are OpenSSH compliant. This is done by
checking that the basename of the ssh command is 'ssh' or the ssh
variant is overridden to be 'ssh' (via the ssh.variant config).
Other options like '-p' and '-P', which are used to specify a specific
port to use, or '-4' and '-6', which are used to indicate that IPV4 or
IPV6 addresses should be used, may also not be supported by all ssh
variants.
Currently if an ssh command's basename wasn't 'plink' or
'tortoiseplink' git assumes that the command is an OpenSSH variant.
Since user configured ssh commands may not be OpenSSH compliant, tighten
this constraint and assume a variant of 'simple' if the basename of the
command doesn't match the variants known to git. The new ssh variant
'simple' will only have the host and command to execute ([username@]host
command) passed as parameters to the ssh command.
Update the Documentation to better reflect the command-line options sent
to ssh commands based on their variant.

It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.
What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:
git -c color.ui=always ...
it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).
Some people have done this anyway, because:
1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
certainly want `auto`.
2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
the confusion came up less frequently than it might
have.
The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.
That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.
Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.
There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

With more commands (that potentially change a submodule) paying attention
to submodules as well as the recent discussion[1] on
submodule.<name>.update, let's spell out that submodule.<name>.update
is strictly to be used for configuring the "submodule update" command
and not to be obeyed by other commands.
These other commands usually have a strict meaning of what they should
do (i.e. checkout, reset, rebase, merge) as well as have their name
overlapping with the modes possible for submodule.<name>.update.

submodule.<name>.update was set to "none", triggering unexpected
behavior as the submodule was thought to never be touched.
However a newer version of Git taught 'git pull --rebase' to also
populate and rebase submodules if they were active.
The newer options such as submodule.active and command specific
flags would not have triggered unexpected behavior.

The code to acquire a lock on a reference (e.g. while accepting a
push from a client) used to immediately fail when the reference is
already locked---now it waits for a very short while and retries,
which can make it succeed if the lock holder was holding it during
a read-only operation.
* mh/ref-lock-entry:
refs: retry acquiring reference locks for 100ms
"[gc] rerereResolved = 5.days" used to be invalid, as the variable
is defined to take an integer counting the number of days. It now
is allowed.
* jc/cutoff-config:
rerere: allow approxidate in gc.rerereResolved/gc.rerereUnresolved
rerere: represent time duration in timestamp_t internally
t4200: parameterize "rerere gc" custom expiry test
t4200: gather "rerere gc" together
t4200: make "rerere gc" test more robust
t4200: give us a clean slate after "rerere gc" tests
