When using tab-completion, a directory path will often end with a
trailing slash which currently confuses "git reset" when dealing with
submodules. Now that we have parse_pathspec we can easily handle this
by simply adding the PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_CHEAP flag.
To do this, we need to move the read_cache() call before the
parse_pathspec() call. All of the existing paths through cmd_reset()
that do not die early already call read_cache() at some point, so there
is no performance impact to doing this in the common case.

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the

defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the

There was a NULL pointer check after the seen = NULL assignment, which

for (i = 0; pathspec[i] ; i++)
A few lines later, 'pathspec' still cannot be NULL, but that check was

A Git-aware "connect" transport allows the "transport_take_over" to
redirect generic transport requests like fetch(), push_refs() and
get_refs_list() to the native Git transport handling methods. The
take-over process replaces transport->data with a fake data that
these method implementations understand.
While this hack works OK for a single request, it breaks when the
transport needs to make more than one requests. transport->data
that used to hold necessary information for the specific helper to
work correctly is destroyed during the take-over process.
One codepath that this matters is "git fetch" in auto-follow mode;
when it does not get all the tags that ought to point at the history
it got (which can be determined by looking at the peeled tags in the
initial advertisement) from the primary transfer, it internally
makes a second request to complete the fetch. Because "take-over"
hack has already destroyed the data necessary to talk to the
transport helper by the time this happens, the second request cannot
make a request to the helper to make another connection to fetch
these additional tags.
Mark such a transport as "cannot_reuse", and use a separate
transport to perform the backfill fetch in order to work around
this breakage.
Note that this problem does not manifest itself when running t5802,
because our upload-pack gives you all the necessary auto-followed
tags during the primary transfer. You would need to step through
"git fetch" in a debugger, stop immediately after the primary
transfer finishes and writes these auto-followed tags, remove the
tag references and repack/prune the repository to convince the
"find-non-local-tags" procedure that the primary transfer failed to
give us all the necessary tags, and then let it continue, in order
to trigger the bug in the secondary transfer this patch fixes.

Usually the upload-pack process running on the other side will give

another fetch to pick up leftover tags that we know point at the
commits reachable from our updated tips.

The --no-create was parsed with OPT_BOOLEAN, which has a counting up
logic implemented. Since b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN,
2011-09-27) the OPT_BOOLEAN is deprecated and is only a define:
/* Deprecated synonym */
#define OPTION_BOOLEAN OPTION_COUNTUP
However the variable not_new, which can be counted up by giving
--no-create multiple times, is used to set a bit in the struct checkout
bitfield (defined in cache.h:969, declared at builtin/checkout-index.c:19):
state.not_new = not_new;
When assigning a value other than 0 or 1 to a bit, all leading digits but
the last are ignored and only the last bit is used for setting the bit
variable.
Hence the following:
# in git.git:
$ git status
# working directory clean
rm COPYING
$ git status
# deleted: COPYING
$ git checkout-index -a -n
$ git status
# deleted: COPYING
# which is expected as we're telling git to not restore or create
# files, however:
$ git checkout-index -a -n -n
$ git status
# working directory clean, COPYING is restored again!
# That's the bug, we're fixing here.
By restraining the variable not_new to a value being definitely 0 or 1
by the macro OPT_BOOL the bug is fixed.

This task emerged from b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN,

not change the input/output behavior for now.
Unfortunately we have these lines relying on the count up mechanism of

errstr = "Multiple --stdin arguments are not supported";
Using OPT_BOOL will make "git hash-object --stdin --stdin" the same
as "git hash-object --stdin", resulting in just one object, which
will surprise users with an expectation to see two objects hashed.

Currently using "git rm" on a submodule removes the submodule's work tree
from that of the superproject and the gitlink from the index. But the
submodule's section in .gitmodules is left untouched, which is a leftover
of the now removed submodule and might irritate users (as opposed to the
setting in .git/config, this must stay as a reminder that the user showed
interest in this submodule so it will be repopulated later when an older
commit is checked out).
Let "git rm" help the user by not only removing the submodule from the
work tree but by also removing the "submodule.<submodule name>" section
from the .gitmodules file and stage both. This doesn't happen when the
"--cached" option is used, as it would modify the work tree. This also
silently does nothing when no .gitmodules file is found and only issues a
warning when it doesn't have a section for this submodule. This is because
the user might just use plain gitlinks without the .gitmodules file or has
already removed the section by hand before issuing the "git rm" command
(in which case the warning reminds him that rm would have done that for
him). Only when .gitmodules is found and contains merge conflicts the rm
command will fail and tell the user to resolve the conflict before trying
again.
Also extend the man page to inform the user about this new feature. While

git config [--<type>] --get-urlmatch <section>[.<key>] <url>
With <section>.<key> fully specified, the configuration data for

and reported. For example, with this configuration:

sslVerify
[http "https://weak.example.com"]
cookieFile = /tmp/cookie.txt
sslVerify = false
You would get
$ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://good.example.com
true
$ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://weak.example.com
false
With only <section> specified, you can get a list of all variables

Commit c334b87b (cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace,
2013-07-11) taught `cat-file --batch-check` to split input lines on
the first whitespace, and stash everything after the first token
into the %(rest) output format element. It claimed:
Object names cannot contain spaces, so any input with
spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line.
But that is not correct. Refs, object sha1s, and various peeling
suffixes cannot contain spaces, but some object names can. In
particular:
1. Tree paths like "[<tree>]:path with whitespace"
2. Reflog specifications like "@{2 days ago}"
3. Commit searches like "rev^{/grep me}" or ":/grep me"
To remain backwards compatible, we cannot split on whitespace by
default, hence we will ship 1.8.4 with the commit reverted.
Resurrect its attempt but in a weaker form; only do the splitting
when "%(rest)" is used in the output format. Since that element did
not exist at all before c334b87, old scripts cannot be affected.
The existence of object names with spaces does mean that you
cannot reliably do:
echo ":path with space and other data" |
git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectname) %(rest)"
as it would split the path and feed only ":path" to get_sha1. But
that command is nonsensical. If you wanted to see "and other data"
in "%(rest)", git cannot possibly know where the filename ends and
the "rest" begins.
It might be more robust to have something like "-z" to separate the
input elements. But this patch is still a reasonable step before
having that. It makes the easy cases easy; people who do not care
about %(rest) do not have to consider it, and the %(rest) code
handles the spaces and newlines of "rev-list --objects" correctly.
Hard cases remain hard but possible (if you might get whitespace in
your input, you do not get to use %(rest) and must split and join
the output yourself using more flexible tools). And most
importantly, it does not preclude us from having different splitting
