The '--sparse' flag in 'git pack-objects' changes the algorithm
used to enumerate objects to one that is faster for individual
users pushing new objects that change only a small cone of the
working directory. The sparse algorithm is not recommended for a
server, which likely sends new objects that appear across the
entire working directory.
Create a 'pack.useSparse' setting that enables this new algorithm.
This allows 'git push' to use this algorithm without passing a
'--sparse' flag all the way through four levels of run_command()
calls.
If the '--no-sparse' flag is set, then this config setting is
overridden.

When creating a pack-file using 'git pack-objects --revs' we provide
a list of interesting and uninteresting commits. For example, a push
operation would make the local topic branch be interesting and the
known remote refs as uninteresting. We want to discover the set of
new objects to send to the server as a thin pack.
We walk these commits until we discover a frontier of commits such
that every commit walk starting at interesting commits ends in a root
commit or unintersting commit. We then need to discover which
non-commit objects are reachable from uninteresting commits. This
commit walk is not changing during this series.
The mark_edges_uninteresting() method in list-objects.c iterates on
the commit list and does the following:
* If the commit is UNINTERSTING, then mark its root tree and every
object it can reach as UNINTERESTING.
* If the commit is interesting, then mark the root tree of every
UNINTERSTING parent (and all objects that tree can reach) as
UNINTERSTING.
At the very end, we repeat the process on every commit directly
given to the revision walk from stdin. This helps ensure we properly
cover shallow commits that otherwise were not included in the
frontier.
The logic to recursively follow trees is in the
mark_tree_uninteresting() method in revision.c. The algorithm avoids
duplicate work by not recursing into trees that are already marked
UNINTERSTING.
Add a new 'sparse' option to the mark_edges_uninteresting() method
that performs this logic in a slightly different way. As we iterate
over the commits, we add all of the root trees to an oidset. Then,
call mark_trees_uninteresting_sparse() on that oidset. Note that we
include interesting trees in this process. The current implementation
of mark_trees_unintersting_sparse() will walk the same trees as
the old logic, but this will be replaced in a later change.
Add a '--sparse' flag in 'git pack-objects' to call this new logic.
Add a new test script t/t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh that tests this
option. The tests currently demonstrate that the resulting object
list is the same as the old algorithm. This includes a case where
both algorithms pack an object that is not needed by a remote due to
limits on the explored set of trees. When the sparse algorithm is
changed in a later commit, we will add a test that demonstrates a
change of behavior in some cases.

Currently, a response to a fetch request has sideband support only while
the packfile is being sent, meaning that the server cannot send notices
until the start of the packfile.
Extend sideband support in protocol v2 fetch responses to the whole
response. upload-pack will advertise it if the
uploadpack.allowsidebandall configuration variable is set, and
fetch-pack will automatically request it if advertised.
If the sideband is to be used throughout the whole response, upload-pack
will use it to send errors instead of prefixing a PKT-LINE payload with
"ERR ".
This will be tested in a subsequent patch.

Implement positive values for <depth> in the tree:<depth> filter. The
exact semantics are described in Documentation/rev-list-options.txt.
The long-term goal at the end of this is to allow a partial clone to
eagerly fetch an entire directory of files by fetching a tree and
specifying <depth>=1. This, for instance, would make a build operation
fast and convenient. It is fast because the partial clone does not need
to fetch each file individually, and convenient because the user does
not need to supply a sparse-checkout specification.
Another way of considering this feature is as a way to reduce
round-trips, since the client can get any number of levels of
directories in a single request, rather than wait for each level of tree
objects to come back, whose entries are used to construct a new request.

Currently 'git checkout' is defined as an overlay operation, which
means that if in 'git checkout <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' we have an
entry in the index that matches <pathspec>, but that doesn't exist in
<tree-ish>, that entry will not be removed from the index or the
working tree.
Introduce a new --{,no-}overlay option, which allows using 'git
checkout' in non-overlay mode, thus removing files from the working
tree if they do not exist in <tree-ish> but match <pathspec>.
Note that 'git checkout -p <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' already works
this way, so no changes are needed for the patch mode. We disallow
'git checkout --overlay -p' to avoid confusing users who would expect
to be able to force overlay mode in 'git checkout -p' this way.
Untracked files are not affected by this change, so 'git checkout
--no-overlay HEAD -- untracked' will not remove untracked from the
working tree. This is so e.g. 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- dir/'
doesn't delete all untracked files in dir/, but rather just resets the
state of files that are known to git.

As part of an ongoing effort to make rebase have more uniform behavior,
modify the merge backend to behave like the interactive one, by
re-implementing it on top of the latter.
Interactive rebases are implemented in terms of cherry-pick rather than
the merge-recursive builtin, but cherry-pick also calls into the
recursive merge machinery by default and can accept special merge
strategies and/or special strategy options. As such, there really is
not any need for having both git-rebase--merge and
git-rebase--interactive anymore. Delete git-rebase--merge.sh and
instead implement it in builtin/rebase.c.
This results in a few deliberate but small user-visible changes:
* The progress output is modified (see t3406 and t3420 for examples)
* A few known test failures are now fixed (see t3421)
* bash-prompt during a rebase --merge is now REBASE-i instead of
REBASE-m. Reason: The prompt is a reflection of the backend in use;
this allows users to report an issue to the git mailing list with
the appropriate backend information, and allows advanced users to
know where to search for relevant control files. (see t9903)
testcase modification notes:
t3406: --interactive and --merge had slightly different progress output
while running; adjust a test to match the new expectation
t3420: these test precise output while running, but rebase--am,
rebase--merge, and rebase--interactive all were built on very
different commands (am, merge-recursive, cherry-pick), so the
tests expected different output for each type. Now we expect
--merge and --interactive to have the same output.
t3421: --interactive fixes some bugs in --merge! Wahoo!
t9903: --merge uses the interactive backend so the prompt expected is
now REBASE-i.

In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in
a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O
error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow
an error packet to be sent instead of any packet.
Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a
request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server
cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection
without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be
more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets
as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected
EOF.
Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is
moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses
pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of
Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an
error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet
handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code
considering this.

Asciidoctor removes the indentation of each line in these tables, so the

Because this gives us some extra indentation, we can remove the one that

indentation on each line. With Asciidoc (8.6.10), this results in

The -G<regex> option of log looks for the differences whose patch text
contains added/removed lines that match regex.
Currently -G looks also into patches of binary files (which
according to [1]) is binary as well.
This has a couple of issues:
- It makes the pickaxe search slow. In a proprietary repository of the
author with only ~5500 commits and a total .git size of ~300MB
searching takes ~13 seconds
$time git log -Gwave > /dev/null
real 0m13,241s
user 0m12,596s
sys 0m0,644s
whereas when we ignore binary files with this patch it takes ~4s
$time ~/devel/git/git log -Gwave > /dev/null
real 0m3,713s
user 0m3,608s
sys 0m0,105s
which is a speedup of more than fourfold.
- The internally used algorithm for generating patch text is based on
xdiff and its states in [1]
> The output format of the binary patch file is proprietary
> (and binary) and it is basically a collection of copy and insert
> commands [..]
which means that the current format could change once the internal
algorithm is changed as the format is not standardized. In addition
the git binary patch format used for preparing patches for git apply
is *different* from the xdiff format as can be seen by comparing
