Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian
Phillips for the original C translation.
This changes a few small bits of behavior:
branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.
branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.
Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions
of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive
three-way merge.
This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index
information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in
the current repository.
Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an
index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it
themselves.
The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to
use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.

Usage info is emebed in the script, but the gist of it is to run the script
from a pre-commit hook to save permissions/ownership data to a file and check
that file into the repository. Then, a post_merge hook reads the file and
updates working tree permissions/ownership. All updates are transparent to
the user (although there is a --verbose option). Merge conflicts are handled
in the "read" phase (in pre-commit), and the script aborts the commit and
tells you how to fix things in the case of a merge conflict in the metadata
file. This same idea could be extended to handle file ACLs or other file
metadata if desired.

The post-merge hook enables one to hook in for `git pull` operations in order
to check and/or change attributes of a work tree from the hook. As an example,
it can be used in combination with a pre-commit hook to save/restore file
ownership and permissions data (or file ACLs) within the repository and
transparently update the working tree after a `git pull` operation.

The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a

rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.

The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.
This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.
By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.
The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued

The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import
to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can
access them and the objects they refer to. However there was not a
way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint
and it was safe to read those refs.
The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any
message of the frontend's choosing to standard out. The frontend
can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a
pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import.

For the same reasons as the prior change we want to allow frontends
to omit the trailing LF that usually delimits commands. In some
cases these just make the input stream more verbose looking than
it needs to be, and its just simpler for the frontend developer to
get started if our parser is slightly more lenient about where an
LF is required and where it isn't.
To make this optional LF feature work we now have to buffer up to one
line of input in command_buf. This buffering can happen if we look
at the current input command but don't recognize it at this point
in the code. In such a case we need to "unget" the entire line,
but we cannot depend upon the stdio library to let us do ungetc()
for that many characters at once.

A few fast-import frontend developers have found it odd that we
require the LF following a `data` command, especially in the exact
byte count format. Technically we don't need this LF to parse
the stream properly, but having it here does make the stream more
readable to humans. We can easily make the LF optional by peeking
at the next byte available from the stream and pushing it back into
the buffer if its not LF.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Several frontend developers have asked that some form of stream
comments be permitted within a fast-import data stream. This way
they can include information from their own frontend program about
where specific data was taken from in the source system, or about
a decision that their frontend may have made while creating the
fast-import data stream.
This change introduces comments in the Bourne-shell/Tcl/Perl style.
Lines starting with '#' are ignored, up to and including the LF.
Unlike the above mentioned three languages however we do not look for
and ignore leading whitespace. This just simplifies the definition
of the comment format and the code that parses them.

These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the

This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the
local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share
files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op. A new
option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy
of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal
"pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer
overhead. The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s
is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly
introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as
network" cloning).
* With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via
cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and
also risks corrupted recipient repository if an
alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving
deltas. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you
have a good back-up.
* same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage
of the source repository. It still risks corrupted recipient
repository due to hardware failure. As long as the recipient
is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up.
* The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source
repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient
would be, too. Also it is very cheap. You do not get any
back-up benefit, though.
None of the method is resilient against the source repository
corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison. Then
the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily
if you value the back-up benefit or not. If you want to use the
cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone
with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone,
recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as
you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so
paranoid anyway.
Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is
probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of
little practical value. We default to hardlinked clone for
everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to
make a back-up.

This replaces "git-verify-tag.sh" with "builtin-verify-tag.c".
Testing relies on the "git tag -v" tests calling this command.
A temporary file is needed when calling to gpg, because git is
already creating detached signatures (gpg option -b) to sign tags
(instead of leaving gpg to add the signature to the file by itself),
and those signatures need to be supplied in a separate file to be
verified by gpg.
The program uses git_mkstemp to create that temporary file needed by
gpg, instead of the previously used "$GIT_DIR/.tmp-vtag", in order to
allow the command to be used in read-only repositories, and also
prevent other instances of git to read or remove the same file.
Signal SIGPIPE is ignored because the program sometimes was
terminated because that signal when writing the input for gpg.
The command now can receive many tag names to be verified.
Documentation is also updated here to reflect this new behaviour.

The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but
so far has been in use exclusively by "git show".
With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last
commit:
$ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk
which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic
branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber
debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking.
(Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as
$ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet
since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the
refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.)

and "git tag -n" also prints all tags with annotations (without needing -l).

Teach fast-import to recursively copy files/directories
Fix git-p4 on Windows to not use the Posix sysconf function.
Correct trivial typo in fast-import documentation
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames by telling us the directory was copied, then deleted in the
same revision. This makes it difficult for a frontend to convert
such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has
on hand is "Copy a/ to b/; Delete a/" with no details about what
files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files.
The new 'C' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to make a
recursive copy of one path to another path within the branch, without
needing to keep track of the individual file paths. The metadata
copy is performed in memory efficiently, but is implemented as a
copy-immediately operation, rather than copy-on-write.
With this new 'C' subcommand frontends could obviously implement an
'R' (rename) on their own as a combination of 'C' and 'D' (delete),
but since we have already offered up 'R' in the past and it is a
trivial thing to keep implemented I'm not going to deprecate it.

The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started

separate layout for your tracking branches. The correct fix, of course,
is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching

Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started

intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for
convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics
got lost somewhere.
If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch
branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all". Otherwise, it is interpreted
as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching

URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include
the URL-types list from urls.txt.
Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter
should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of
using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make

Document -<n> for git-format-patch
glossary: add 'reflog'
diff --no-index: fix --name-status with added files
Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long
To prevent funky games with external diff engines, git-log and
friends prevent external diff engines from being called. That makes
sense in the context of git-format-patch or git-rebase.
However, for "git log -p" it is not so nice to get the message
that binary files cannot be compared, while "git diff" has no
problems with them, if you provided an external diff driver.
With this patch, "git log --ext-diff -p" will do what you expect,
and the option "--no-ext-diff" can be used to override that
setting.

This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch
whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes.
Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added
benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental
git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at
the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the
output to a downstream program.
This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or
if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0". This latter can
speed up a command such as:
GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l

The option "-p" (or long "--preserve-merges") makes it possible to
rebase side branches including merges, without straightening the
history.
Example:
X
\
A---M---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
When the current HEAD is "B", "git rebase -i -p --onto Q O" will yield
X
\
---o---O---P---Q---A'---M'---B'
Note that this will
- _not_ touch X [*1*], it does
- _not_ work without the --interactive flag [*2*], it does
- _not_ guess the type of the merge, but blindly uses recursive or
whatever strategy you provided with "-s <strategy>" for all merges it
has to redo, and it does
- _not_ make use of the original merge commit via git-rerere.
*1*: only commits which reach a merge base between <upstream> and HEAD
are reapplied. The others are kept as-are.
*2*: git-rebase without --interactive is inherently patch based (at
least at the moment), and therefore merges cannot be preserved.

Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies
the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them?
With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches,
so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches.
Such a list will typically look like this:
pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
...
By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend
that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash"
you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that.
It is derived from the script sent to the list in

We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using
C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not
handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother).
The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this
purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote
and backslash.
However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit
range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because
we were being cautious.
This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and
core.quotepath configuration variable to control it. When set
to false, it does not quote bytes in high 8-bit range anymore
but passes them intact.
The variable defaults to "true" to retain the traditional
behaviour for now.

Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a
widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue
is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from
within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure
how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how
that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation.
Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that
the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up
two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer
enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists,
and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their

While already adding option parsing also support the common

Rationale:
While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already
offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository,
there are some use cases where other methods of access
control prove to be more useful.
E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public

setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.
The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.
setup_gdg does the following now:
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
GIT_DIR is set to cwd
see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
also see the note below
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
cwd is used as work tree
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
the specified work tree is used
Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.
Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:
(1) is_bare_repository
A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
named .git). The bare option disables a few protective
checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently
this changes if a repository is bare:
updates of HEAD are allowed
git gc packs the refs
the reflog is disabled by default
(2) is_inside_work_tree
True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
is one), false otherwise.
(3) is_inside_git_dir
True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
repositories.
When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.
inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

Creating deltas between big blobs is a CPU and memory intensive task.
In the writing phase, all (not reused) deltas are redone.
This patch adds support for caching deltas from the deltifing phase, so
that that the writing phase is faster.
The caching is limited to small deltas to avoid increasing memory usage very much.
The implemented limit is (memory needed to create the delta)/1024.

This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.
Example .gitmodules layout:
[module "git"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".
Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.
Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.

really understanding the index well, so I avoided mentioning it.
And we all got the idea that "index" was a word to avoid using around
newbies, but it was reluctantly mentioned that *something* had to be
said. The result is a little awkward: the discussion of the index never
actually uses that word, and isn't well-integrated into the surrounding
material.
Let's just go ahead and use the word "index" from the very start, and
try to demonstrate its use with a minimum of lecturing.
Also, remove discussion of using git-commit with explicit filenames.

- It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http

Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.
Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level".
Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.
Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes, since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.
In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.
This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre:

Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.
Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.
This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers.
First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*'
variables in the configuration.
filter.<name>.clean filter command to run upon checkin
filter.<name>.smudge filter command to run upon checkout
Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name
matches the custom filter driver's name.
Example:
(in .gitattributes)
*.c filter=indent
(in config)
[filter "indent"]
clean = indent
smudge = cat

The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes

to emphasize only the "add", instead it treats the first apostrophe as the

closing apostrophe. In the newer asciidoc you can do it pretty easily

all occourences of "head" with "branch" though because you always
have to say "git branch" because CVS also has the concept of

Prior to 1.5.0 the git-lost-found utility was useful to locate
commits that were not referenced by any ref. These were often
amends, or resets, or tips of branches that had been deleted.
Being able to locate a 'lost' commit and recover it by creating a
new branch was a useful feature in those days.
Unfortunately 1.5.0 added the reflogs to the reachability analysis
performed by git-fsck, which means that most commits users would
consider to be lost are still reachable through a reflog. So most
(or all!) commits are reachable, and nothing gets output from
git-lost-found.
Now git-fsck can be told to ignore reflogs during its reachability
analysis, making git-lost-found useful again to locate commits
that are no longer referenced by a ref itself, but may still be
referenced by a reflog.

This corrects the interface mistake of the previous one, and
gives a command line parameter to the only plumbing command that
currently needs it: "git-read-tree".
We can add the calls to set_alternate_index_output() to other
plumbing commands that update the index if/when needed.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.
However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

Fix minor formatting issue in man page for git-mergetool
Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795:
In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice.
The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to
A.
However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the
manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C! I.e.,
he inverts the tree.
And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is
not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).

The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.
We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.
On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.
We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find

This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like
[remote "local"]
url = .
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.
To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.
The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

Sergey Vlasov, Andy Parkins and Alex Riesen all pointed out that it
is possible for a single invocation of receive-pack to be given more
refs than the OS might allow us to pass as command line parameters
to a single hook invocation.
We don't want to break these up into multiple invocations (like
xargs might do) as that makes it impossible for the pre-receive
hook to verify multiple related ref updates occur at the same time,
and it makes it harder for post-receive to send out a single batch
notification.
Instead we pass the reference data on a pipe connected to the
hook's stdin, supplying one ref per line to the hook. This way a
single hook invocation can obtain an infinite amount of ref data,
without bumping into any operating system limits.

In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:
git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic
This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.
This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.
If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

The script sort_glossary.pl turns each use of "term" into a link to the
definition of "term". To avoid mangling links like
gitlink:git-term[1]
it doesn't replace any occurence of "term" preceded by "link:git-".
This fails for gitlink:git-symbolic-ref[1] when substituting for "ref".
So instead just refuse to replace anything preceded by a "-".
That could result in missing some opportunities, but that's a less
annoying error.
Actually I find the automatic substitution a little distracting; some
day maybe we should just run it once and commit the result, so it can
be hand-tuned.

Bill Lear pointed out that it is easy to send out notifications of
changes with the update hook, but successful execution of the update
hook does not necessarily mean that the ref was actually updated.
Lock contention on the ref or being unable to append to the reflog
may prevent the ref from being changed. Sending out notifications
prior to the ref actually changing is very misleading.
To help this situation I am introducing two new hooks to the
receive-pack flow: pre-receive and post-receive. These new hooks
are invoked only once per receive-pack execution and are passed
three arguments per ref (refname, old-sha1, new-sha1).
The new post-receive hook is ideal for sending out notifications,
as it has the complete list of all refnames that were successfully
updated as well as the old and new SHA-1 values. This allows more
interesting notifications to be sent. Multiple ref updates could
be easily summarized into one email, for example.
The new pre-receive hook is ideal for logging update attempts, as it
is run only once for the entire receive-pack operation. It can also
be used to verify multiple updates happen at once, e.g. an update
to the `maint` head must also be accompained by a new annotated tag.
Lots of documentation improvements for receive-pack are included
in this change, as we want to make sure the new hooks are clearly
explained.

This patch adds support to archimport for remapping the branch
names to match those used in git more closely. This is useful
for projects that migrate to git (as opposed to users that want
to use git on Arch-based projects). For example, one can choose
an Arch branch name and call it "master".
The new command-line syntax works even if there is a colon in
a branch name, since only the part after the last colon is taken
to be the git name (git does not allow colons in branch names).
The new feature is implemented so that archives rotated every

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

To name a commit, you can now say
$ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"'
and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose
commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix.
For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated
specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with

which starts with '!Hello World', use
$ git show ':/!!Hello World'

The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when
not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when
output was not redirected (such as in a cron job).
However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that
the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But
this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on
seeing the option "--no-progress".
This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until
your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the
server has this patch, it will be quiet.
A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not
heed no_progress.

Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.
git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.
The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.
It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff
lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.). This flag
is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository.
In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage
parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked,
the default is --no-index.
So, you can now say

It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from`
in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of
importers, such as a darcs importer.
We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a
new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction
was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was
developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more
of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a
`from` during any `commit`.
While making the changes required to permit multiple `from`
commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the
last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed.
(Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from()
that it was OK to execute on the branch.)
While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized
the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding
`from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the
code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left
the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what
the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to
reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the
branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these
SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if
`from` does not get supplied.
New test cases for these were also added.

Some frontends may not be able to (easily) keep track of which files
are included in the branch, and which aren't. Performing this
tracking can be tedious and error prone for the frontend to do,
especially if its foreign data source cannot supply the changed
path list on a per-commit basis.
fast-import now allows a frontend to request that a branch's tree
be wiped clean (reset to the empty tree) at the start of a commit,
allowing the frontend to feed in all paths which belong on the branch.
This is ideal for a tar-file importer frontend, for example, as
the frontend just needs to reformat the tar data stream into a gfi
data stream, which may be something a few Perl regexps can take
care of. :)

We now perform a fast-forward check during the ref updating process.
If updating a branch would cause commits in that branch to be lost,
we skip over it and display the new SHA1 to standard error.
This new default behavior can be overridden with `--force`, like
git-push and git-fetch.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Since some frontends may be working with source material where
the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is
more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function
to handle the conversion. This way the frontend doesn't need
to perform the parsing itself.
The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a
frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in.
The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import
has always supported. Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the
parse_date() function instead.
Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current
commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current
system timestamp. The implementation of `now` is a trivial call
to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that
fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`.
As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date
format. Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything
in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed.
Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and
verifies the timestamp is formatted properly.

This particular use of git-rebase to remove a single commit or a
range of commits from the history of a branch recently came up on
the mailing list. Documenting the example should help other users
arrive at the same solution on their own.
It also was not obvious to the newcomer that git-rebase is able to
accept any commit for --onto <newbase> and <upstream>. We should

I was reading the tutorial and noticed that we say this:
Also, don't use "git reset" on a publicly-visible branch that
other developers pull from, as git will be confused by history
that disappears in this way.
I do not think this is a good explanation. For example, if we
do this:
(1) I build a series and push it out.
---o---o---o---j
(2) Alice clones from me, and builds two commits on top of it.
---o---o---o---j---a---a
(3) I rewind one and build a few, and push them out.
---o---o---o...j
\
h---h---h---h
(4) Alice pulls from me again:
---o---o---o---j---a---a---*
\ /
h---h---h---h
Contrary to the description, git will happily have Alice merge
between the two branches, and never gets confused.
Maybe I did not want to have 'j' because it was an incomplete
solution to some problem, and Alice may have fixed it up with
her changes, while I abandoned that approach I started with 'j',
and worked on something completely unrelated in the four 'h'
commits. In such a case, the merge Alice would make would be
very sensible, and after she makes the merge if I pull from her,
the world will be perfect. I started something with 'j' and
dropped the ball, Alice picked it up and perfected it while I
went on to work on something else with 'h'. This would be a
perfect example of distributed parallel collaboration. There is
nothing confused about it.
The case the rewinding becomes problematic is if the work done
in 'h' tries to solve the same problem as 'j' tried to solve in
a different way. Then the merge forced on Alice would make her
pick between my previous attempt with her fixups (j+a) and my
second attempt (h). If 'a' commits were to fix up what 'j'
started, presumably Alice already studied and knows enough about
the problem so she should be able to make an informed decision
to pick between what 'j+a' and 'h' do.
A lot worse case is if Alice's work is not at all related to
what 'j' wanted to do (she did not mean to pick up from where I
left off -- she just wanted to work on something different).
Then she would not be familiar enough with what 'j' and 'h'
tried to achieve, and I'd be forcing her to pick between the
two. Of course if she can make the right decision, then again
that is a perfect example of distributed collaboration, but that
does not change the fact that I'd be forcing her to clean up my
mess.

used "git-apply" on the other one, and amended the commit at

Then I cherry-picked @{9}~2 to create @{3} (the log message

My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably
sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify
a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the
revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the
best tag to describe the input commit.
All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision
which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during
the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to
each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us
to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited
space available within the flags field of struct commit.
The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a
problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance
releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the
development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that
does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of
using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development
trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested
workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip.
However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a
description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but
offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible
matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose
10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more
than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before
retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the
same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe.
A large amount of debugging information was also added during
the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled
on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them
understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another.
