2477ab2ea8 diff: support anchoring line(s)
Teach diff a new algorithm, one that attempts to prevent user-specified
lines from appearing as a deletion or addition in the end result. The
end user can use this by specifying "--anchored=<text>" one or more
times when using Git commands like "diff" and "show".

5e83cca0b8 git-status.txt: mention --no-optional-locks
If you come to the documentation thinking "I do not want Git
to take any locks for my background processes", then you may
easily run across "--no-optional-locks" in git.txt.

But it's quite reasonable to hit a specific instance of the
problem: you have "git status" running in the background,
and you notice that it causes lock contention with other
processes. So you look in git-status.txt to see if there is
a way to disable it, but there's no mention of the flag.

Let's add a short note mentioning that status does indeed
touch the index (and why), with a pointer to the global
option. That can point users in the right direction and help
them make a more informed decision about what they're
disabling.

4e85333197 worktree: make add <path> <branch> dwim
Currently 'git worktree add <path> <branch>', errors out when 'branch'
is not a local branch.  It has no additional dwim'ing features that one
might expect.

Make it behave more like 'git checkout <branch>' when the branch doesn't
exist locally, but a remote tracking branch uniquely matches the desired
branch name, i.e. create a new branch from the remote tracking branch
and set the upstream to the remote tracking branch.

As 'git worktree add' currently just dies in this situation, there are
no backwards compatibility worries when introducing this feature.

Currently 'git worktree add' sets up tracking branches if '<branch>' is

This may or may not be what the user wants.  Allow overriding this

7db2cbf4f1 hooks doc: clarify when receive-pack invokes its hooks
The text meant to say that receive-pack runs these hooks, and only
because receive-pack is not a command the end users use every day
(ever), as an explanation also meantioned that it is run in response
to 'git push', which is an end-user facing command readers hopefully
know about.

This unfortunately gave an incorrect impression that 'git push'
always result in the hook to run.  If the refs push wanted to update
all already had the desired value, these hooks are not run.

Explicitly mention "... and updates reference(s)" as a precondition
to avoid this confusion.

9535ce7337 pack-objects: add list-objects filtering
Teach pack-objects to use the filtering provided by the
traverse_commit_list_filtered() interface to omit unwanted
objects from the resulting packfile.

Filtering requires the use of the "--stdout" option.

Add t5317 test.

In the future, we will introduce a "partial clone" mechanism
wherein an object in a repo, obtained from a remote, may
reference a missing object that can be dynamically fetched from
that remote once needed.  This "partial clone" mechanism will
have a way, sometimes slow, of determining if a missing link
is one of the links expected to be produced by this mechanism.

This patch introduces handling of missing objects to help
debugging and development of the "partial clone" mechanism,
and once the mechanism is implemented, for a power user to
perform operations that are missing-object aware without
incurring the cost of checking if a missing link is expected.

65516f586b log: add option to choose which refs to decorate
When `log --decorate` is used, git will decorate commits with all
available refs. While in most cases this may give the desired effect,
under some conditions it can lead to excessively verbose output.

Introduce two command line options, `--decorate-refs=<pattern>` and
`--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>` to allow the user to select which
refs are used in decoration.

When "--decorate-refs=<pattern>" is given, only the refs that match the
pattern are used in decoration. The refs that match the pattern when
"--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" is given, are never used in
decoration.

These options follow the same convention for mixing negative and
positive patterns across the system, assuming that the inclusive default
is to match all refs available.

 (1) if there is no positive pattern given, pretend as if an
     inclusive default positive pattern was given;

 (2) for each candidate, reject it if it matches no positive
     pattern, or if it matches any one of the negative patterns.

The rules for what is considered a match are slightly different from the
rules used elsewhere.

Commands like `log --glob` assume a trailing '/*' when glob chars are
not present in the pattern. This makes it difficult to specify a single
ref.  On the other hand, commands like `describe --match --all` allow
specifying exact refs, but do not have the convenience of allowing
"shorthand refs" like 'refs/heads' or 'heads' to refer to
'refs/heads/*'.

The commands introduced in this patch consider a match if:

  (a) the pattern contains globs chars,
	and regular pattern matching returns a match.

  (b) the pattern does not contain glob chars,
         and ref '<pattern>' exists, or if ref exists under '<pattern>/'

This allows both behaviours (allowing single refs and shorthand refs)
yet remaining compatible with existent commands.

0da0e49ba1 ssh: 'auto' variant to select between 'ssh' and 'simple'
Android's "repo" tool is a tool for managing a large codebase
consisting of multiple smaller repositories, similar to Git's
submodule feature.  Starting with Git 94b8ae5a (ssh: introduce a
'simple' ssh variant, 2017-10-16), users noticed that it stopped
handling the port in ssh:// URLs.

The cause: when it encounters ssh:// URLs, repo pre-connects to the
server and sets GIT_SSH to a helper ".repo/repo/git_ssh" that reuses
that connection.  Before 94b8ae5a, the helper was assumed to support
OpenSSH options for lack of a better guess and got passed a -p option
to set the port.  After that patch, it uses the new default of a
simple helper that does not accept an option to set the port.

The next release of "repo" will set GIT_SSH_VARIANT to "ssh" to avoid
that.  But users of old versions and of other similar GIT_SSH
implementations would not get the benefit of that fix.

So update the default to use OpenSSH options again, with a twist.  As
observed in 94b8ae5a, we cannot assume that $GIT_SSH always handles
OpenSSH options: common helpers such as travis-ci's dpl[*] are
configured using GIT_SSH and do not accept OpenSSH options.  So make
the default a new variant "auto", with the following behavior:

 1. First, check for a recognized basename, like today.

 2. If the basename is not recognized, check whether $GIT_SSH supports
    OpenSSH options by running

	$GIT_SSH -G <options> <host>

    This returns status 0 and prints configuration in OpenSSH if it
    recognizes all <options> and returns status 255 if it encounters
    an unrecognized option.  A wrapper script like

	exec ssh -- "$@"

    would fail with

	ssh: Could not resolve hostname -g: Name or service not known

    , correctly reflecting that it does not support OpenSSH options.
    The command is run with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to
    /dev/null so even a command that expects a terminal would exit
    immediately.

 3. Based on the result from step (2), behave like "ssh" (if it
    succeeded) or "simple" (if it failed).

This way, the default ssh variant for unrecognized commands can handle
both the repo and dpl cases as intended.

This autodetection has been running on Google workstations since
2017-10-23 with no reported negative effects.

d74b541e0b branch: respect pager.branch in list-mode only
Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.branch` when we are listing branches.

We have two possibilities of generalizing what that earlier commit made
to `git tag`. One is to interpret, e.g., --set-upstream-to as "it does
not use an editor, so we should page". Another, the one taken by this
commit, is to say "it does not list, so let's not page". That is in line
with the approach of the series on `pager.tag` and in particular the
wording in Documentation/git-tag.txt, which this commit reuses for
git-branch.txt.

This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the
test for whether `git branch --set-upstream-to` respects `pager.branch`.

9472935d81 add: introduce "--renormalize"
Make it safer to normalize the line endings in a repository.
Files that had been commited with CRLF will be commited with LF.

The old way to normalize a repo was like this:

 # Make sure that there are not untracked files
 $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
 $ git read-tree --empty
 $ git add .
 $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"

The user must make sure that there are no untracked files,
otherwise they would have been added and tracked from now on.

The new "add --renormalize" does not add untracked files:

 $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
 $ git add --renormalize .
 $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"

Note that "git add --renormalize <pathspec>" is the short form for
"git add -u --renormalize <pathspec>".

While at it, document that the same renormalization may be needed,
whenever a clean filter is added or changed.

ce5b6f9be8 revision.h: introduce blob/tree walking in order of the commits
The functionality to list tree objects in the order they were seen
while traversing the commits will be used in one of the next commits,
where we teach `git describe` to describe not only commits, but blobs, too.

The change in list-objects.c is rather minimal as we'll be re-using
the infrastructure put in place of the revision walking machinery. For
example one could expect that add_pending_tree is not called, but rather
commit->tree is directly passed to the tree traversal function. This
however requires a lot more code than just emptying the queue containing
trees after each commit.

049e64aa50 Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc
The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an
example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent
commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list.
Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either
refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the
document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope
the file doesn't change.

Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc.  Build it as part of the
technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same
group of people.  Provide stable links to the sections which outside
parties are likely to want to link to.  Make some minor structural
changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely.

Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the
rest of the documentation, simply copy the file.  Ignore the temporary
file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of
the clean process.  Do this instead of renaming the file so that people
who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help)
don't find their links broken.  Avoid symlinking since Windows will not
like that.

This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the
benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more
nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

f6be7edcac doc/SubmittingPatches: correct subject guidance
The examples and common practice for adding markers such as "RFC" or
"v2" to the subject of patch emails is to have them within the same
brackets as the "PATCH" text, not after the closing bracket.  Further,
the practice of `git format-patch` and the like, as well as what appears
to be the more common pratice on the mailing list, is to use "[RFC
PATCH]", not "[PATCH/RFC]".

Update the SubmittingPatches article to match and to reference the
`format-patch` helper arguments, and also make some minor text
clarifications in the area.

6d1700b8af merge-base --fork-point doc: clarify the example and failure modes
The illustrated history used to explain the `--fork-point` mode
named three keypoint commits B3, B2 and B1 from the oldest to the
newest, which was hard to read.  Relabel them to B0, B1, B2.  Also
illustrate the history after the rebase using the `--fork-point`
facility was made.

The text already mentions use of reflog, but the description is not
clear what benefit we are trying to gain by using reflog.  Clarify
that it is to find the commits that were known to be at the tip of
the remote-tracking branch.  This in turn necessitates users to know
the ramifications of the underlying assumptions, namely, expiry of
reflog entries will make it impossible to determine which commits
were at the tip of the remote-tracking branches and we fail when in
doubt (instead of giving a random and incorrect result without even
warning).  Another limitation is that it won't be useful if you did
not fork from the tip of a remote-tracking branch but from in the
middle.

Describe them.

9700fae5ee for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref name
There are times when scripts want to know not only the name of the
push branch on the remote, but also the name of the branch as known
by the remote repository.

An example of this is when a tool wants to push to the very same branch
from which it would pull automatically, i.e. the `<remote>` and the `<to>`
in `git push <remote> <from>:<to>` would be provided by
`%(upstream:remotename)` and `%(upstream:remoteref)`, respectively.

This patch offers the new suffix :remoteref for the `upstream` and `push`
atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example:

	$ cat .git/config
	...
	[remote "origin"]
		url = https://where.do.we.come/from
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/*
	[branch "master"]
		remote = origin
		merge = refs/heads/master
	[branch "develop/with/topics"]
		remote = origin
		merge = refs/heads/develop/with/topics
	...

	$ git for-each-ref \
		--format='%(push) %(push:remoteref)' \
		refs/heads
	refs/remotes/origin/master refs/heads/master
	refs/remotes/origin/develop/with/topics refs/heads/develop/with/topics

Just like other "--ignore-*" options to ignore various kinds of

b072e0a3f8 Documentation: enable compat-mode for Asciidoctor
Asciidoctor 1.5.0 and later have a compatibility mode that makes it more
compatible with some Asciidoc syntax, notably the single and double
quote handling.  While this doesn't affect any of our current
documentation, it would be beneficial to enable this mode to reduce the
differences between AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor if we make use of those
features in the future.

Since this mode is specified as an attribute, if a version of
Asciidoctor doesn't understand it, it will simply be ignored.

concrete branch name that the at-mark magic expands to.

Emphasize that "see if it is usable" role in the description and

2c1acdf6c9 Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
This reverts commit 6be4595edb.

That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so
that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions
in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk
config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the
plumbing diff commands began to generate color output.

This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in
git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying
to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to
'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created
even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git
-c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some
commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that
by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are
getting pretty confusing.

Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off
the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of
"always", which this revert does.

Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged
in by da15b78e52. Most of that
series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the
weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping
for a few reasons:

  - there are some other preparatory cleanups, like
    e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03)

  - it adds "--color" options more consistently in
    0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter
    users, 2017-10-03)

  - some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust
    and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use
    test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03)

  - the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color",
    and we should be modeling that consistently

We can individually revert the few commits necessary to
restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this
patch).

Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test
added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now.

94b8ae5aca ssh: introduce a 'simple' ssh variant
When using the 'ssh' transport, the '-o' option is used to specify an
environment variable which should be set on the remote end.  This allows
git to send additional information when contacting the server,
requesting the use of a different protocol version via the
'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable like so: "-o SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL".

Unfortunately not all ssh variants support the sending of environment
variables to the remote end.  To account for this, only use the '-o'
option for ssh variants which are OpenSSH compliant.  This is done by
checking that the basename of the ssh command is 'ssh' or the ssh
variant is overridden to be 'ssh' (via the ssh.variant config).

Other options like '-p' and '-P', which are used to specify a specific
port to use, or '-4' and '-6', which are used to indicate that IPV4 or
IPV6 addresses should be used, may also not be supported by all ssh
variants.

Currently if an ssh command's basename wasn't 'plink' or
'tortoiseplink' git assumes that the command is an OpenSSH variant.
Since user configured ssh commands may not be OpenSSH compliant, tighten
this constraint and assume a variant of 'simple' if the basename of the
command doesn't match the variants known to git.  The new ssh variant
'simple' will only have the host and command to execute ([username@]host
command) passed as parameters to the ssh command.

Update the Documentation to better reflect the command-line options sent
to ssh commands based on their variant.

b59698aef3 checkout doc: clarify command line args for "checkout paths" mode
There are "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--][<paths>...]" in the
SYNOPSIS section, and "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--]<paths>..."
as the header for the section that explains the "check out paths
from index/tree-ish" mode.  It is unclear if we require at least one
path, or it is entirely optional.

Actually, both are wrong.  Without the "-p(atch)" option, you must
have <pathspec> (otherwise, with a commit that is a <tree-ish>, you
would be checking out that commit to build a new history on top of
it).  With it, it is already clear that you are checking out paths,
it is optional.  In other words, you cannot omit both.

The source of the confusion is that -p(atch) is described as if it
is just another "optional" part and its description is lumped
together with the non patch mode, even though the actual end user
experience is vastly different.

Let's split the entry into two, and describe the regular mode and
the patch mode separately.  This allows us to make it clear that the
regular mode MUST be given at least one pathspec, that the patch
mode can be invoked with either '-p' or '--patch' but one of these
must be given, and that the pathspec is entirely optional in the
patch mode.

Also, revamp the explanation of "checkout paths" by removing
extraneous description at the beginning, that says "checking out
paths is not checking out a branch".  Explaining what it is for and
when the user wants to use it upfront is the most direct way to help
the readers.

cc72385fe3 for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote name
There are times when e.g. scripts want to know not only the name of the
upstream branch on the remote repository, but also the name of the
remote.

This patch offers the new suffix :remotename for the upstream and for
the push atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example:

	$ cat .git/config
	...
	[remote "origin"]
		url = https://where.do.we.come/from
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/*
	[remote "hello-world"]
		url = https://hello.world/git
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/*
		pushURL = hello.world:git
		push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
	[branch "master"]
		remote = origin
		pushRemote = hello-world
	...

	$ git for-each-ref \
	  --format='%(upstream) %(upstream:remotename) %(push:remotename)' \
	  refs/heads/master
	refs/remotes/origin/master origin hello-world

The implementation chooses *not* to DWIM the push remote if no explicit
push remote was configured; The reason is that it is possible to DWIM this
by using

	%(if)%(push:remotename)%(then)
		%(push:remotename)
	%(else)
		%(upstream:remotename)
	%(end)

while it would be impossible to "un-DWIM" the information in case the
caller is really only interested in explicit push remotes.

While `:remote` would be shorter, it would also be a bit more ambiguous,
and it would also shut the door e.g. for `:remoteref` (which would
obviously refer to the corresponding ref in the remote repository).

Note: the dashless, non-CamelCased form `:remotename` follows the
example of the `:trackshort` example.

For now this is silent which can be confusing.

This commit adds this warning to improve the situation:

  hint: The 'pre-commit' hook was ignored because it's not set as executable.
  hint: You can disable this warning with `git config advice.ignoredHook false`

To allow the old use-case of enabling/disabling hooks via the executable flag a

6be4595edb color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config
It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.

What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:

  git -c color.ui=always ...

it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).

Some people have done this anyway, because:

  1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
     using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
     certainly want `auto`.

  2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
     plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
     the confusion came up less frequently than it might
     have.

The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.

That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it.  We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.

Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.

There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

0c88bf5050 provide --color option for all ref-filter users
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.

But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.

This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

The documentation makes reference to 'contents:trailers' as an example
to dig the trailers out of a commit. 'trailers' is an unmentioned
alternative, which is treated as an alias of 'contents:trailers'.

Since 'trailers' is easier to type, prefer that as the designated way to
dig out trailers information.
