The first usage we give is the original one where, e.g., `git log` is
piped through `git shortlog`. The description that follows reads the
other way round, by first focusing on the general behavior, then ending
with the behavior when reading from stdin.
It is also a tiny bit odd that what is probably the most common usage
and the one a reader is probably looking for is not at the top of the
list. Of course, it is only a two-item list, so it is not _that_ hard to
find... The next commit will add the original usage to the usage string
in builtin/shortlog.c, and it feels more natural to do so below the
most common usage. To avoid being inconsistent, reorder these two
usages here first.

Since Git 1.7.9, "git merge" defaulted to --no-ff (i.e. even when
the side branch being merged is a descendant of the current commit,
create a merge commit instead of fast-forwarding) when merging a
tag object. This was appropriate default for integrators who pull
signed tags from their downstream contributors, but caused an
unnecessary merges when used by downstream contributors who
habitually "catch up" their topic branches with tagged releases
from the upstream. Update "git merge" to default to --no-ff only
when merging a tag object that does *not* sit at its usual place in
refs/tags/ hierarchy, and allow fast-forwarding otherwise, to
mitigate the problem.

Certain information is currently shown with --summary, but when used
in combination with --stat it's a bit hard to read since info of the
same file is in two places (--stat and --summary).
On top of that, commits that add or remove files double the number of
display lines, which could be a lot if you add or remove a lot of
files.
--compact-summary embeds most of --summary back in --stat in the
little space between the file name part and the graph line, e.g. with
commit 0433d533f1:
Documentation/merge-config.txt | 4 +
builtin/merge.c | 2 +
...-pull-verify-signatures.sh (new +x) | 81 ++++++++++++++
t/t7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh | 45 ++++++++
4 files changed, 132 insertions(+)
It helps both condensing information and saving some text
space. What's new in diffstat is:
- A new 0644 file is shown as (new)
- A new 0755 file is shown as (new +x)
- A new symlink is shown as (new +l)
- A deleted file is shown as (gone)
- A mode change adding executable bit is shown as (mode +x)
- A mode change removing it is shown as (mode -x)
Note that --compact-summary does not contain all the information
--summary provides. Rewrite percentage is not shown but it could be

Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config.
We have several getters and some are guaranteed to give at most one line
of output. Paging all getters including those could be convenient from a
documentation point-of-view. The downside would be that a misconfigured
or not so modern pager might wait for user interaction before
terminating. Let's instead respect the config for precisely those
getters which may produce more than one line of output.
`--get-urlmatch` may or may not produce multiple lines of output,
depending on the exact usage. Let's not try to recognize the two modes,
but instead make `--get-urlmatch` always respect the config. Analyzing
the detailed usage might be trivial enough here, but could establish a
precedent that we will never be able to enforce throughout the codebase
and that will just open a can of worms.
This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the
test for whether `git config foo.bar bar` and `git config --get foo.bar`
respects `pager.config`.

Long time ago at fab47d05 ("merge: force edit and no-ff mode when
merging a tag object", 2011-11-07), "git merge" was made to always
create a merge commit when merging a tag, even when the side branch
being merged is a descendant of the current branch.
This default is good for merges made by upstream maintainers to
integrate work signed by downstream contributors, but will leave
pointless no-ff merges when downstream contributors pull a newer
release tag to make their long-running topic branches catch up with
the upstream. When there is no local work left on the topic, such a
merge should simply fast-forward to the commit pointed at by the
release tag.
Update the default (again) for "git merge" that merges a tag object
to (1) --no-ff (i.e. create a merge commit even when side branch
fast forwards) if the tag being merged is not at its expected place
in refs/tags/ hierarchy and (2) --ff (i.e. allow fast-forward update
when able) otherwise.

It is possible to have the output ' A' from 'git status --porcelain'
by adding a file using the '--intend-to-add' flag. Make this clear by
adding the pattern in the table of the documentation.
However the mode 'DM' (deleted in the index, modified in the working tree)
is not possible in the non-merge case in which the file only shows
as 'D ' (and adding it back to the worktree would show an additional line
of an '??' untracked file). It is also not possible in the merge case as
then the mode involves a 'U' on one side of the merge.

This command allows to delete a worktree. Like 'move' you cannot
remove the main worktree, or one with submodules inside [1].
For deleting $GIT_WORK_TREE, Untracked files or any staged entries are
considered precious and therefore prevent removal by default. Ignored
files are not precious.
When it comes to deleting $GIT_DIR, there's no "clean" check because
there should not be any valuable data in there, except:
- HEAD reflog. There is nothing we can do about this until somebody
steps up and implements the ref graveyard.
- Detached HEAD. Technically it can still be recovered. Although it
may be nice to warn about orphan commits like 'git checkout' does.
[1] We do 'git status' with --ignore-submodules=all for safety
anyway. But this needs a closer look by submodule people before we
can allow deletion. For example, if a submodule is totally clean,
but its repo not absorbed to the main .git dir, then deleting
worktree also deletes the valuable .submodule repo too.

There are two options to move the main worktree, but both have

- convert the main worktree to a linked one and move it away, leave

after this move.
- move the repository with the main worktree. The tricky part is make

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.

The "git remote prune <name>" command uses the same machinery as "git
fetch <name> --prune", and shares all the same caveats, but its
documentation has suggested that it'll just "delete stale
remote-tracking branches under <name>".
This isn't true, and hasn't been true since at least v1.8.5.6 (the
oldest version I could be bothered to test).
E.g. if "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" is explicitly set in the refspec of
the remote, it'll delete all local tags <name> doesn't know about.
Instead, briefly give the reader just enough of a hint that this
option might constitute a shotgun aimed at their foot, and point them
to the new PRUNING section in the git-fetch documentation which
explains all the nuances of what this facility does.

It perhaps goes without saying that file-local stuff should
be marked static, but it does not hurt to remind people.
Less obvious is that we are settling on "do not include
extern in function declarations". It is already the default
unless the function was previously declared static (but if
you are following a static declaration with an unmarked one,
you should think about why you are declaring the thing
twice). And so it just becomes an extra noise-word in our
header files.
We used to give the opposite advice, so there are quite a
few "extern" markers in early Git code. But this at least
makes a concrete suggestion that we can follow going
forward.

This option allows commits with empty commit messages to be rebased,
matching the same option in git-commit and git-cherry-pick. While empty
log messages are frowned upon, sometimes one finds them in older
repositories (e.g. translated from another VCS [0]), or have other
reasons for desiring them. The option is available in git-commit and
git-cherry-pick, so it is natural to make other git tools play nicely
with them. Adding this as an option allows the default to be "give the
user a chance to fix", while not interrupting the user's workflow
otherwise [1].

This new option can be used to override the implicit --syslog of
--inetd, or to disable all logging. (While --detach also implies
--syslog, --log-destination=stderr with --detach is useless since
--detach disassociates the process from the original stderr.) --syslog
is retained as an alias for --log-destination=syslog.
--log-destination always overrides implicit --syslog regardless of
option order. This is different than the “last one wins” logic that
applies to some implicit options elsewhere in Git, but should hopefully
be less confusing. (I also don’t know if *all* implicit options in Git
follow “last one wins”.)
The combination of --inetd with --log-destination=stderr is useful, for
instance, when running `git daemon` as an instanced systemd service
(with associated socket unit). In this case, log messages sent via
syslog are received by the journal daemon, but run the risk of being
processed at a time when the `git daemon` process has already exited
(especially if the process was very short-lived, e.g. due to client
error), so that the journal daemon can no longer read its cgroup and
attach the message to the correct systemd unit (see systemd/systemd#2913
[1]). Logging to stderr instead can solve this problem, because systemd
can connect stderr directly to the journal daemon, which then already
knows which unit is associated with this stream.

Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs,
such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as
'<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer
number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right.
The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that
could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that
removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches.
Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this
patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting
the information to what is shown. For example:
$ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile
b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now
47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:"
we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in
v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The
reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil
merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

The same document for "--diff-filter" is included by many
programs in the diff family. Because it mentions all
possible types (added, removed, etc), this may imply to the
reader that all types can be generated by a particular
command. But this isn't necessarily the case; "diff-files"
cannot generally produce an "Added" entry, since the diff is
limited to what is already in the index.
Let's make it clear that the list here is the full one, and
does not imply anything about what a particular invocation
may produce.
Note that conditionally including items (e.g., omitting
"Added" in the git-diff-files manpage) isn't the right
solution here for two reasons:
- The problem isn't diff-files, but doing an index to
working tree diff. "git diff" can do the same diff, but
also has other modes where "Added" does show up.
- The direction of the diff matters. Doing "diff-files -R"
can get you Added entries (but not Deleted ones).
So it's best just to explain that the set of available types
depends on the specific diff invocation.

049e64aa50 ("Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc",
2017-11-12) changed the `git blame` and `git shortlog` examples given in
the section on sending your patches.
In order to italicize the `$path` argument the commands are enclosed in
plus characters as opposed to backticks. The difference between the
quoting methods is that backtick enclosed text is not subject to further
expansion. This formatting makes reading SubmittingPatches in a git
clone a little more difficult. In addition to the underscores around
`$path` the `--` chars in `git shortlog --no-merges` must be replaced
with `{litdd}`.
Use backticks to quote these commands. The italicized `$path` is lost
from the html version but the commands can be read (and copied) more
easily by users reading the text version. These readers are more likely
to use the commands while submitting patches. Make it easier for them.

Before 425a28e0a4 (diff-lib: allow ita entries treated as "not yet exist
in index" - 2016-10-24) there are never "new files" in the index, which
essentially disables rename detection because we only detect renames
when a new file appears in a diff pair.
After that commit, an i-t-a entry can appear as a new file in "git
diff-files". But the diff callback function in wt-status.c does not
handle this case and produces incorrect status output.
PS. The reader may notice that this patch adds a new xstrdup() but not
a free(). Yes we leak memory (the same for head_path). But wt_status
so far has been short lived, this leak should not matter in
practice.

Add support for supplying the -m option with --fixup. Doing so has
errored out ever since --fixup was introduced. Before this, the only
way to amend the fixup message while committing was to use --edit and
amend it in the editor.
The use-case for this feature is one of:
* Leaving a quick note to self when creating a --fixup commit when
it's not self-evident why the commit should be squashed without a
note into another one.
* (Ab)using the --fixup feature to "fix up" commits that have already
been pushed to a branch that doesn't allow non-fast-forwards,
i.e. just noting "this should have been part of that other commit",
and if the history ever got rewritten in the future the two should
be combined.
In such a case you might want to leave a small message,
e.g. "forgot this part, which broke XYZ".
With this, --fixup <commit> -m"More" -m"Details" will result in a
commit message like:
!fixup <subject of <commit>>
More
Details
The reason the test being added here seems to squash "More" at the end
of the subject line of the commit being fixed up is because the test
code is using "%s%b" so the body immediately follows the subject, it's
not a bug in this code, and other tests t7500-commit.sh do the same
thing.
When the --fixup option was initially added the "Option -m cannot be
combined" error was expanded from -c, -C and -F to also include
--fixup[1]
Those options could also support combining with -m, but given what
they do I can't think of a good use-case for doing that, so I have not
made the more invasive change of splitting up the logic in commit.c to
first act on those, and then on -m options.

Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these
are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref
or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic
to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might
be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different
path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely.
When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer
as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects
involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by
multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch
implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers
from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from
any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we
found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For
example
git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile
conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile
tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20.
The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a
blob rather than its last occurrence.
