Some "git notes" operations, e.g. "git log --notes=<note>", should
be able to read notes from any tree-ish that is shaped like a notes
tree, but the notes infrastructure required that the argument must
be a ref under refs/notes/. Loosen it to require a valid ref only
when the operation would update the notes (in which case we must
have a place to store the updated notes tree, iow, a ref).
* mh/notes-allow-reading-treeish:

Sometimes it's useful to know the main branch of a git repository
without actually downloading the repository. This can be done by
looking at the symrefs stored in the remote repository. Currently git
doesn't provide a simple way to show the symrefs stored on the remote
repository, even though the information is available. Add a --symref
command line argument to the ls-remote command, which shows the symrefs
in the remote repository.
While there, replace a literal tab in the format string with \t to make
it more obvious to the reader.

When working in a cross-platform environment, a user may want to
check if text files are stored normalized in the repository and
if .gitattributes are set appropriately.
Make it possible to let Git show the line endings in the index and
in the working tree and the effective text/eol attributes.
The end of line ("eolinfo") are shown like this:
"-text" binary (or with bare CR) file
"none" text file without any EOL
"lf" text file with LF
"crlf" text file with CRLF
"mixed" text file with mixed line endings.
The effective text/eol attribute is one of these:
"", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf"
git ls-files --eol gives an output like this:
i/none w/none attr/text=auto t/t5100/empty
i/-text w/-text attr/-text t/test-binary-2.png
i/lf w/lf attr/text eol=lf t/t5100/rfc2047-info-0007
i/lf w/crlf attr/text eol=crlf doit.bat
i/mixed w/mixed attr/ locale/XX.po
to show what eol convention is used in the data in the index ('i'),
and in the working tree ('w'), and what attribute is in effect,
for each path that is shown.
Add test cases in t0027.

We can pass -o/--output-directory to the format-patch command to store

introduces format.outputDirectory configuration option for same
purpose.
The case of usage of this configuration option can be convenience
to not pass every time -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.
The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line
option, so if user will set format.outputDirectory and pass the
command line option, a result will be stored in a directory that

init_notes() is the main point of entry to the notes API. It ensures
that the input can be used as ref, because it needs a ref to update to
store notes tree after modifying it.
There however are many use cases where notes tree is only read, e.g.
"git log --notes=...". Any notes-shaped treeish could be used for such
purpose, but it is not allowed due to existing restriction.
Allow treeish expressions to be used in the case the notes tree is going
to be used without write "permissions". Add a flag to distinguish
whether the notes tree is intended to be used read-only, or will be
updated.
With this change, operations that use notes read-only can be fed any
notes-shaped tree-ish can be used, e.g. git log --notes=notes@{1}.

Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit
codes:
- zero means the merge was successful
- a negative number means an error occurred
- a positive number indicates the number of conflicts
Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return
code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps
to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a
blob full of conflict-marker cruft!).
This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127,
which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This
also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts
of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus
the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced
to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255).
Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g.,
"-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in
practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list
of things from the standard input are often shown like this:
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes>
This is problematic in a number of ways:
* The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the
output from another command, not feed them from a file.
* Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read
from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not
described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys
text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency.
* We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output>
* As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>,
the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename
becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the
help text.
Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation
clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard
input and what kind of things are expected on the input.

Previously, libcurl would follow redirection to any protocol
it was compiled for support with. This is desirable to allow
redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. However, it would even
successfully allow redirection from HTTP to SFTP, a protocol
that git does not otherwise support at all. Furthermore
git's new protocol-whitelisting could be bypassed by
following a redirect within the remote helper, as it was
only enforced at transport selection time.
This patch limits redirects within libcurl to HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP and FTPS. If there is a protocol-whitelist present, this
list is limited to those also allowed by the whitelist. As
redirection happens from within libcurl, it is impossible
for an HTTP redirect to a protocol implemented within
another remote helper.
When the curl version git was compiled with is too old to
support restrictions on protocol redirection, we warn the
user if GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL restrictions were requested. This
is a little inaccurate, as even without that variable in the
environment, we would still restrict SFTP, etc, and we do
not warn in that case. But anything else means we would
literally warn every time git accesses an http remote.
This commit includes a test, but it is not as robust as we
would hope. It redirects an http request to ftp, and checks
that curl complained about the protocol, which means that we
are relying on curl's specific error message to know what
happened. Ideally we would redirect to a working ftp server
and confirm that we can clone without protocol restrictions,
and not with them. But we do not have a portable way of
providing an ftp server, nor any other protocol that curl
supports (https is the closest, but we would have to deal
with certificates).

Make 'branch.c' use 'ref-filter' APIs for iterating through refs
sorting. This removes most of the code used in 'branch.c' replacing it
with calls to the 'ref-filter' library.
Make 'branch.c' use the 'filter_refs()' function provided by 'ref-filter'

We provide a sorting option provided for 'branch.c' by using the
sorting options provided by 'ref-filter'. Also by default, we sort by
'refname'. Since 'HEAD' is alphabatically before 'refs/...' we end up
with an array consisting of the 'HEAD' ref then the local branches and
finally the remote-tracking branches.
Also remove the 'ignore' variable from ref_array_item as it was
previously used for the '--merged' option and now that is handled by
ref-filter.
Modify some of the tests in t1430 to check the stderr for a warning
regarding the broken ref. This is done as ref-filter throws a warning
for broken refs rather than directly printing them.

If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).
Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).
A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.

If there is a pattern "!foo/bar", this patch makes it not exclude "foo"
right away. This gives us a chance to examine "foo" and re-include
"foo/bar".
In order for it to detect that the directory under examination should
not be excluded right away, in other words it is a parent directory of a
negative pattern, the "directory path" of the negative pattern must be
literal. Patterns like "!f?o/bar" can't stop "foo" from being excluded.
Basename matching (i.e. "no slashes in the pattern") or must-be-dir
matching (i.e. "trailing slash in the pattern") does not work well with
this. For example, if we descend in "foo" and are examining "foo/abc",
current code for "foo/" pattern will check if path "foo/abc", not "foo",
is a directory. The same problem with basename matching. These may need
big code reorg to make it work.

* Document the syntax of these options.
For the second point, the behavior is documented in gitcli(7), but it is
easy for users to miss, and hard for the same user to understand why e.g.
"git status -u no" does not work.

separated by a comma, where the `<position>` is either left, right or
middle, default being left and `<width>` is the total length of the
content with alignment. If the contents length is more than the width
then no alignment is performed. e.g. to align a refname atom to the
middle with a total width of 40 we can do:
--format="%(align:middle,40)%(refname)%(end)".
We introduce an `at_end` function for each element of the stack which
is to be called when the `end` atom is encountered. Using this we
implement end_align_handler() for the `align` atom, this aligns the
final strbuf by calling `strbuf_utf8_align()` from utf8.c.
Ensure that quote formatting is performed on the whole of
%(align:...)...%(end) rather than individual atoms inside. We skip
quote formatting for individual atoms when the current stack element
is handling an %(align:...) atom and perform quote formatting at the
end when we encounter the %(end) atom of the second element of then
stack.

Most of our "--date" modes are about the format of the date:
which items we show and in what order. But "--date=local" is
a bit of an oddball. It means "show the date in the normal

is orthogonal to the actual format, and there is no reason

This patch adds a "local" boolean field to "struct

date_mode_type enum (it's now just DATE_NORMAL plus
local=1). The new feature is accessible to users by adding
"-local" to any date mode (e.g., "iso-local"), and we retain

The spec is very inconsistent about which PKT-LINE() parts
of the grammar include a LF. On top of that, the code is not
consistent, either (e.g., send-pack does not put newlines
into the ref-update commands it sends).
Let's make explicit the long-standing expectation that we
generally expect pkt-lines to end in a newline, but that
receivers should be lenient. This makes the spec consistent,
and matches what git already does (though it does not always
fulfill the SHOULD).
We do make an exception for the push-cert, where the
receiving code is currently a bit pickier. This is a
reasonable way to be, as the data needs to be byte-for-byte
compatible with what was signed. We _could_ make up some
rules about signing a canonicalized version including
newlines, but that would require a code change, and is out
of scope for this patch.

Perforce keeps the encoding of a path as given by the originating OS.
Git expects paths encoded as UTF-8. Add a config to tell git-p4 what
encoding Perforce had used for the paths. This encoding is used to
transcode the paths to UTF-8. As an example, Perforce on Windows often
uses “cp1252” to encode path names.

We need the place we stick refs for bisects in progress to not be
shared between worktrees. So we make the refs/bisect/ hierarchy
per-worktree.
The is_per_worktree_ref function and associated docs learn that
refs/bisect/ is per-worktree, as does the git_path code in path.c
The ref-packing functions learn that per-worktree refs should not be
packed (since packed-refs is common rather than per-worktree).
Since refs/bisect is per-worktree, logs/refs/bisect should be too.

'git describe --contains' doesn't default to HEAD when no commit is
given, and it doesn't produce any output, not even an error:
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains HEAD
v2.5.0^0
Unlike other 'git describe' options, the '--contains' code path is
implemented by calling 'name-rev' with a bunch of options plus all the
commit-ishes that were passed to 'git describe'. If no commit-ish was
present, then 'name-rev' got invoked with none, which then leads to the
behavior illustrated above.
Porcelain commands usually default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given,
and 'git describe' already does so in all other cases, so it should do
so with '--contains' as well.
Pass HEAD to 'name-rev' when no commit-ish is given on the command line
to make '--contains' behave consistently with other 'git describe'
options. While at it, use argv_array_pushv() instead of the loop to
pass commit-ishes to 'git name-rev'.
'git describe's short help already indicates that the commit-ish is
optional, but the synopsis in the man page doesn't, so update it
accordingly as well.

In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They
need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree
of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a
caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then
parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one
place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the
worktree).
The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read
.gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then
be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for
path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed.
It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between
commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then
either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an
unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each
requested commit.
This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about
submodule configurations. Example use cases are:
* Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from
its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before
this configuration exists in the worktree.
* The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to
lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a
revision that is not checked out.
* 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or
configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the
database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it
needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new
submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without
any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that
revision.

'git config' can only show values or name-value pairs, so if a shell
script needs the names of set config variables it has to run 'git config
--list' or '--get-regexp' and parse the output to separate config
variable names from their values. However, such a parsing can't cope
with multi-line values. Though 'git config' can produce null-terminated
output for newline-safe parsing, that's of no use in such a case, becase
shells can't cope with null characters.
Even our own bash completion script suffers from these issues.
Help the completion script, and shell scripts in general, by introducing
the '--name-only' option to modify the output of '--list' and
'--get-regexp' to list only the names of config variables, so they don't
have to perform error-prone post processing to separate variable names
from their values anymore.

If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs
config, there is no way to later override that config to
"unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which
causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if
another match would hide it. We take care to apply the
matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the
config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins"
config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for
example, will override /etc/gitconfig).
So you can now do:
$ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret
$ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret'
to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit
in one specific repo. Or you can even do:
$ git clone \
-u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \
remote:repo.git
to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has
configured.
There are two alternatives that were considered and
rejected:
1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a
list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo").
This is nice because it could apply to other
multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as
flexible. There is no way to say:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
Having explicit negative specifications means we can
override previous entries, even if they are not the
same literal string.
2. Adding another variable to override some parts of
hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs").
This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it
cannot easily obey the normal config precedence,
because it would use two separate lists. For example:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret
With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules
first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that
does not match what the above config intends.
Of course we could internally parse that to a single
list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to
invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name
communicates to the user that the ordering _is_
important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and
should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is
actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here
should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").

This allows a natural user-interface when looking for any change in the
code, not just regression. For example:
git bisect start --term-old fast --term-new slow
git bisect fast
git bisect slow
...
There were several proposed user-interfaces for this feature. This patch
implements it as options to 'git bisect start' for the following reasons:
* By construction, the terms will be valid for one and only one
bisection.
* Unlike positional arguments, using named options avoid having to
remember an order.
* We can combine user-defined terms and passing old/new commits as
argument to "git bisect start".
* The implementation is relatively simple.

When not looking for a regression during a bisect but for a fix or a
change in another given property, it can be confusing to use 'good'
and 'bad'.
This patch introduce `git bisect new` and `git bisect old` as an
alternative to 'bad' and good': the commits which have a certain
property must be marked as `new` and the ones which do not as `old`.
The output will be the first commit after the change in the property.
During a new/old bisect session you cannot use bad/good commands and
vice-versa.
Some commands are still not available for old/new:
* git rev-list --bisect does not treat the revs/bisect/new and

Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*"
within a component instead of only as the whole component.
Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from
check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic
in check_refname_component(). Pass the pointer to the flags argument
to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when
it sees "*".
Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*"
only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the
bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec
contains at most one asterisk.
This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`.
Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with
the new logic.

Allow the creation of a ref (e.g. stash) with a reflog already in
place. For most refs (e.g. those under refs/heads), this happens
automatically, but for others, we need this option.
Currently, git does this by pre-creating the reflog, but alternate ref
backends might store reflogs somewhere other than .git/logs. Code
that now directly manipulates .git/logs should instead use git
plumbing commands.
I also added --create-reflog to git tag, just for completeness.

A line in the input to "rev-parse --parseopt" describes an option by
listing a short and/or long name, optional flags [*=?!], argument hint,
and then whitespace and help string.
We did not allow any of the [*=?!] characters in the argument hints.
The following input
pair=key=value equals sign in the hint
used to generate a help line like this:
--pair=key <value> equals sign in the hint
and used to expect "pair=key" as the argument name.
That is not very helpful as we generally do not want any of the [*=?!]
characters in the argument names. But we do want to use at least the
equals sign in the argument hints.
Update the parser to make long argument names stop at the first [*=?!]
character.
Add test case with equals sign in the argument hint and update the test
to perform all the operations in test_expect_success matching the
t/README requirements and allowing commands like
./t1502-rev-parse-parseopt.sh --run=1-2

As a "distributed" VCS, git should better define the encodings of its core
textual data structures, in particular those that are part of the network
protocol.
That git is encoding agnostic is only really true for blob objects. E.g.
the 'non-NUL bytes' requirement of tree and commit objects excludes
UTF-16/32, and the special meaning of '/' in the index file as well as
space and linefeed in commit objects eliminates EBCDIC and other non-ASCII
encodings.
Git expects bytes < 0x80 to be pure ASCII, thus CJK encodings that partly
overlap with the ASCII range are problematic as well. E.g. fmt_ident()
removes trailing 0x5C from user names on the assumption that it is ASCII
'\'. However, there are over 200 GBK double byte codes that end in 0x5C.
UTF-8 as default encoding on Linux and respective path translations in the
Mac and Windows versions have established UTF-8 NFC as de-facto standard
for path names.

warnings or stop git rebase depending on the value of the
configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.
This patch gives the user the possibility to avoid silent loss of
information (losing a commit through deleting the line in this case)
if he wants.
Add the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.
- When unset or set to "ignore", no checking is done.
- When set to "warn", the commits are checked, warnings are
displayed but git rebase still proceeds.
- When set to "error", the commits are checked, warnings are
displayed and the rebase is stopped.
(The user can then use 'git rebase --edit-todo' and
'git rebase --continue', or 'git rebase --abort')
rebase.missingCommitsCheck defaults to "ignore".

Instead of removing a line to remove the commit, you can use the
command "drop" (just like "pick" or "edit"). It has the same effect as
deleting the line (removing the commit) except that you keep a visual
trace of your actions, allowing a better control and reducing the
possibility of removing a commit by mistake.

If this extension is used in a repository, then no
operations should run which may drop objects from the object
storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage
with other repositories whose refs you cannot see.
For instance, if you do:
$ git clone -s parent child
$ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true
$ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1
you now have additional safety when running git in the
parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an
error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will
continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations).
Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will
fail on every operation.
Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by
default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks
backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should
make explicitly.

Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository
core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is
unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of
git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set
of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of
unreachable, safe-to-prune objects).
If we were to bump the repository version for every such
change, then any implementation understanding version `X`
would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth,
even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts
of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot
implement one without the other (or more importantly, that
the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other,
weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that
particular feature).
This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion
strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a
repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of
extensions. This can be used, for example:
- to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based
only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it
has "clone --shared" children)
- that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual
"refs" and "packed-refs" directories
Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1"
requires that a running git knows about any extensions
mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not
do something dangerous when confronted with these new
formats.
For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for
refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to
"db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1"
and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not
know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend"
but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is
annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of
claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or
writing to a location that other implementations will not
read.
Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here.
We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that
is meant to be used by users and future extensions to
provide safety with older implementations.

Identical to support in `git receive-pack for the config option
`receive.fsck.skiplist`, we now support ignoring given objects in

The optional new config option `receive.fsck.skipList` specifies the path
to a file listing the names, i.e. SHA-1s, one per line, of objects that
are to be ignored by `git receive-pack` when `receive.fsckObjects = true`.
This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them
(e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object).
The intended use case is for server administrators to inspect objects
that are reported by `git push` as being too problematic to enter the
repository, and to add the objects' SHA-1 to a (preferably sorted) file
when the objects are legitimate, i.e. when it is determined that those
problematic objects should be allowed to enter the server.

We already have support in `git receive-pack` to deal with some legacy
repositories which have non-fatal issues.
Let's make `git fsck` itself useful with such repositories, too, by
allowing users to ignore known issues, or at least demote those issues
to mere warnings.
Example: `git -c fsck.missingEmail=ignore fsck` would hide
problems with missing emails in author, committer and tagger lines.
In the same spirit that `git receive-pack`'s usage of the fsck machinery
differs from `git fsck`'s – some of the non-fatal warnings in `git fsck`
are fatal with `git receive-pack` when receive.fsckObjects = true, for
example – we strictly separate the fsck.<msg-id> from the
receive.fsck.<msg-id> settings.

The error behavior on parse errors follows that of OPT_INTEGER. The

message describing the expect format for the option argument and
then the full usage message for the command invoked.
This differs from the previous behavior for OPT_ULONG used in
pack-objects for --max-pack-size and --window-memory which used to
display the value supplied in the error message and did not display
the full usage message.

It can sometimes be useful to examine all objects in the
repository. Normally this is done with "git rev-list --all
--objects", but:
1. That shows only reachable objects. You may want to look
at all available objects.
2. It's slow. We actually open each object to walk the
graph. If your operation is OK with seeing unreachable
objects, it's an order of magnitude faster to just
enumerate the loose directories and pack indices.
You can do this yourself using "ls" and "git show-index",
but it's non-obvious. This patch adds an option to
"cat-file --batch-check" to operate on all available
objects (rather than reading names from stdin).
This is based on a proposal by Charles Bailey to provide a
separate "git list-all-objects" command. That is more
orthogonal, as it splits enumerating the objects from
getting information about them. However, in practice you
will either:
a. Feed the list of objects directly into cat-file anyway,
so you can find out information about them. Keeping it
in a single process is more efficient.
b. Ask the listing process to start telling you more
information about the objects, in which case you will
reinvent cat-file's batch-check formatter.
Adding a cat-file option is simple and efficient. And if you
really do want just the object names, you can always do:
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' --batch-all-objects

When debugging the pack protocol, it is sometimes useful to
store the verbatim pack that we sent or received on the
wire. Looking at the on-disk result is often not helpful for
a few reasons:
1. If the operation is a clone, we destroy the repo on
failure, leaving nothing on disk.
2. If the pack is small, we unpack it immediately, and the
full pack never hits the disk.
3. If we feed the pack to "index-pack --fix-thin", the
resulting pack has the extra delta bases added to it.
We already have a GIT_TRACE_PACKET mechanism for tracing
packets. Let's extend it with GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE to dump the
verbatim packfile.
There are a few other positive fallouts that come from
rearranging this code:
- We currently disable the packet trace after seeing the
PACK header, even though we may get human-readable lines
on other sidebands; now we include them in the trace.
- We currently try to print "PACK ..." in the trace to
indicate that the packfile has started. But because we
disable packet tracing, we never printed this line. We
will now do so.

The interface to custom low-level merge driver was modeled to be
capable of driving programs like "merge" (from the RCS suite) that
can produce result solely by looking at three files that hold
contents of common ancestor, ours and theirs. The information we
feed to the external drivers via the command line placeholders %O,
%A, and %B were designed to be purely about contents by giving
names of the temporary files that hold these variants without
exposing the original pathname. No matter where the result goes,
merging the same three variants should produce the same result,
contents is the king, that is the Git way.
The external driver interface, however, is meant to help people to
step outside the Git worldview, and sometimes people want to know
the final path that the resulting merged contents would be stored
in. Expose this to the external drivers via a new placeholder %P.

While parsing the command-line arguments, git-pull stops parsing at the
first unrecognized option, assuming that any subsequent options are for
git-fetch, and can thus be kept in the shell's positional parameters
list, so that it can be passed to git-fetch via the expansion of "$@".
However, certain functions in git-pull assume that the positional
parameters do not contain any options:
* error_on_no_merge_candidates() uses the number of positional
parameters to determine which error message to print out, and will
thus print the wrong message if git-fetch's options are passed in as
well.
* the call to get_remote_merge_branch() assumes that the positional
parameters only contains the optional repo and refspecs, and will
thus silently fail if git-fetch's options are passed in as well.
* --dry-run is a valid git-fetch option, but if provided after any
git-fetch options, it is not recognized by git-pull and thus git-pull
will continue to run the merge or rebase.
Fix these bugs by teaching git-pull to parse git-fetch's options as
well. Add tests to prevent regressions.
This removes the limitation where git-fetch's options have to come after
git-merge's and git-rebase's options on the command line. Update the
documentation to reflect this.

It's better to start the man page with a description of what
submodules actually are, instead of saying what they are not.
Reorder the paragraphs such that
- the first short paragraph introduces the submodule concept,
- the second paragraph highlights the usage of the submodule command,
- the third paragraph giving background information, and finally
- the fourth paragraph discusing alternatives such as subtrees and
remotes, which we don't want to be confused with.
This ordering deepens the knowledge on submodules with each paragraph.
First the basic questions like "How/what" will be answered, while the
underlying concepts will be taught at a later time.
Making sure it is not confused with subtrees and remotes is not really
enhancing knowledge of submodules itself, but rather painting the big
picture of git concepts, so you could also argue to have it as the second
paragraph. Personally I think this may confuse readers, specially
newcomers though.
Additionally to reordering the paragraphs, they have been slightly
reworded.

When http-backend spawns "upload-pack" to do ref
negotiation, it streams the http request body to
upload-pack, who then streams the http response back to the
client as it reads. In theory, git can go full-duplex; the
client can consume our response while it is still sending
the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex
protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write
simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the
way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any
intermediate proxies.
In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock
when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically:
1. Apache proxies the request to the CGI, http-backend.
2. http-backend gzip-inflates the data and sends
the result to upload-pack.
3. upload-pack acts on the data and generates output over
the pipe back to Apache. Apache isn't reading because
it's busy writing (step 1).
This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack
output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads
it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request
and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we
deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend,
http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack
blocks writing to Apache).
We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input
or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input,
because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_
stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we
do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the
client.
The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request
body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up
Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But
there are a few important things to note:
1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious
denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on
requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The
default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous
100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that
actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable
on the off chance that you don't mind spending some
extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work.
2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For
pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary
size, and we should connect the input directly to
receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though,
because we do not produce any output until the whole
packfile has been read.
For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we
similarly do not need to buffer. Even though we may
generate a lot of output, there is no request body at
all (i.e., it is a GET, not a POST).

Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".
To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().
This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

With uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant configuration option set on the
server side, "git fetch" can make a request with a "want" line that names
an object that has not been advertised (likely to have been obtained out
of band or from a submodule pointer). Only objects reachable from the
branch tips, i.e. the union of advertised branches and branches hidden by
transfer.hideRefs, will be processed. Note that there is an associated
cost of having to walk back the history to check the reachability.
This feature can be used when obtaining the content of a certain commit,
for which the sha1 is known, without the need of cloning the whole
repository, especially if a shallow fetch is used. Useful cases are e.g.
repositories containing large files in the history, fetching only the
needed data for a submodule checkout, when sharing a sha1 without telling
which exact branch it belongs to and in Gerrit, if you think in terms of
commits instead of change numbers. (The Gerrit case has already been
solved through allowTipSHA1InWant as every Gerrit change has a ref.)

In a triangular workflow, each branch may have two distinct
points of interest: the @{upstream} that you normally pull
from, and the destination that you normally push to. There
isn't a shorthand for the latter, but it's useful to have.
For instance, you may want to know which commits you haven't
pushed yet:
git log @{push}..
Or as a more complicated example, imagine that you normally
pull changes from origin/master (which you set as your
@{upstream}), and push changes to your own personal fork
(e.g., as myfork/topic). You may push to your fork from
multiple machines, requiring you to integrate the changes
from the push destination, rather than upstream. With this
patch, you can just do:
git rebase @{push}
rather than typing out the full name.
The heavy lifting is all done by branch_get_push; here we
just wire it up to the "@{push}" syntax.

When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:
1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
with looking at remote_name instead.
2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
"struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
the duration of the operation.
So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).
So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?
If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.
And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions
will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback
behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.
Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in
helper functions.

Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

Teach git about a new option, "http.sslCipherList", which permits one to
specify a list of ciphers to use when negotiating SSL connections. The
setting can be overwridden by the GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST environment
variable.

'git cat-file' throws an error while trying to print the type or
size of a broken/corrupt object. This is because these objects are
usually of unknown types.
Teach git cat-file a '--allow-unknown-type' option where it prints
the type or size of a broken/corrupt object without throwing
an error.
Modify '-t' and '-s' options to call sha1_object_info_extended()
directly to support the '--allow-unknown-type' option.
Add documentation for 'cat-file --allow-unknown-type'.

The collect_parents() function now is responsible for
1. parsing the commits given on the command line into a list of
commits to be merged;
2. filtering these parents into independent ones; and
3. optionally calling fmt_merge_msg() via prepare_merge_message()
to prepare an auto-generated merge log message, using fake
contents that FETCH_HEAD would have had if these commits were
fetched from the current repository with "git pull . $args..."
Make "git merge FETCH_HEAD" to be the same as the traditional
git merge "$(git fmt-merge-msg <.git/FETCH_HEAD)" $commits
invocation of the command in "git pull", where $commits are the ones
that appear in FETCH_HEAD that are not marked as not-for-merge, by
making it do a bit more, specifically:
- noticing "FETCH_HEAD" is the only "commit" on the command line
and picking the commits that are not marked as not-for-merge as
the list of commits to be merged (substitute for step #1 above);
- letting the resulting list fed to step #2 above;
- doing the step #3 above, using the contents of the FETCH_HEAD
instead of fake contents crafted from the list of commits parsed
in the step #1 above.
Note that this changes the semantics. "git merge FETCH_HEAD" has
always behaved as if the first commit in the FETCH_HEAD file were
directly specified on the command line, creating a two-way merge
whose auto-generated merge log said "merge commit xyz". With this
change, if the previous fetch was to grab multiple branches (e.g.
"git fetch $there topic-a topic-b"), the new world order is to
create an octopus, behaving as if "git pull $there topic-a topic-b"
were run. This is a deliberate change to make that happen, and
can be seen in the changes to t3033 tests.

The `-v` shows a unified diff in the editor to edit the commit
message to help the user to describe the change. The diff is
stripped and will not become a part of the commit message.
Add a note about this with the `-v` description and slightly modify
the description for the default `--cleanup` mode.
