After we copy the templates into place, we re-read the
config in case we copied in a default config file. But since
git_config() is backed by a cache these days, it's possible
that the call will not actually touch the filesystem at all;
we need to tell it that something has changed behind the
scenes.
Note that we also need to reset the shared_repository
config. At first glance, it seems like this should probably
just be folded into git_config_clear(). But unfortunately
that is not quite right. The shared repository value may
come from config, _or_ it may have been set manually. So
only the caller who knows whether or not they set it is the
one who can clear it (and indeed, if you _do_ put it into
git_config_clear(), then many tests fail, as we have to
clear the config cache any time we set a new config
variable).
There are three tests here. The first two actually pass
already, though it's largely luck: they just don't happen to
actually read any config before we enter the new repo.
But the third one does fail without this patch; we look at
core.sharedrepository while creating the directory, but need
to make sure the value from the template config overrides
it.

If we see an explicit "--no-index", we do not bother calling
setup_git_directory_gently() at all. This means that we may
miss out on reading repo-specific config.
It's arguable whether this is correct or not. If we were
designing from scratch, making "git diff --no-index"
completely ignore the repository makes some sense. But we
are nowhere near scratch, so let's look at the existing
behavior:
1. If you're in the top-level of a repository and run an
explicit "diff --no-index", the config subsystem falls
back to reading ".git/config", and we will respect repo
config.
2. If you're in a subdirectory of a repository, then we
still try to read ".git/config", but it generally
doesn't exist. So "diff --no-index" there does not
respect repo config.
3. If you have $GIT_DIR set in the environment, we read
and respect $GIT_DIR/config,
4. If you run "git diff /tmp/foo /tmp/bar" to get an
implicit no-index, we _do_ run the repository setup,
and set $GIT_DIR (or respect an existing $GIT_DIR
variable). We find the repo config no matter where we
started, and respect it.
So we already respect the repository config in a number of
common cases, and case (2) is the only one that does not.
And at least one of our tests, t4034, depends on case (1)
behaving as it does now (though it is just incidental, not
an explicit test for this behavior).
So let's bring case (2) in line with the others by always
running the repository setup, even with an explicit
"--no-index". We shouldn't need to change anything else, as the
implicit case already handles the prefix.

We can invoke no-index mode in two ways: by an explicit
request from the user, or implicitly by noticing that we
have two paths, and at least one is outside the repository.
If the user already told us --no-index, there is no need for
us to do the implicit test at all. However, we currently
do, and downgrade our "explicit" to DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT.
This doesn't have any user-visible behavior, though it's not
immediately obvious why. We only trigger the implicit check
when we have exactly two non-option arguments. And the only
code that cares about implicit versus explicit is an error
message that we show when we _don't_ have two non-option
arguments.
However, it's worth fixing anyway. Besides being slightly
more efficient, it makes the code easier to follow, which
will help when we modify it in future patches.

When "hash-object" is run without "-w", we don't need to be
in a git repository at all; we can just hash the object and
write its sha1 to stdout. However, if we _are_ in a git
repository, we would want to know that so we can follow the
normal rules for respecting config, .gitattributes, etc.
This happens to work at the top-level of a git repository
because we blindly read ".git/config", but as the included
test shows, it does not work when you are in a subdirectory.
The solution is to just do a "gentle" setup in this case. We
already take care to use prefix_filename() on any filename
arguments we get (to handle the "-w" case), so we don't need
to do anything extra to handle the side effects of repo
setup.
An alternative would be to specify RUN_SETUP_GENTLY for this
command in git.c, and then die if "-w" is set but we are not
in a repository. However, the error messages generated at
the time of setup_git_directory() are more detailed, so it's
better to find out which mode we are in, and then call the
appropriate function.

Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.
The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:
- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
emitted to pack in suboptimal order).
- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).
Jeff King further explains:
The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
"careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
"git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
responsibility for verifying the data.
But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
pack index.
So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
traversal.
So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:
- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:
See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.
- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:
The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
simultaneously with two bitmap indices.
We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
bitmap tail - not in recency order.
So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.
- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:
Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
friends.
( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )
This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:
erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
repository managed by git-backup[2] via
time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack
before: 37.2s
after: 26.2s
And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git
time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack
before: 7.1s
after: 3.6s
i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.
git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.
[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup
NOTE
Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.
NOTE2
`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:
$ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m22.309s
user 0m21.148s
sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.
NOTE3
The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there
are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap
reachability index.
However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped
counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local
or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In
non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but
bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all.
The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options
and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions -
potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or
.keep'ed pack).
We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to
add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons:
1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and
2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs.
"2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover
"1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be
non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry.
In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found
pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away
in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active. In
particular, as p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh shows (3 consecutive runs), we do
not do harm to served-with-bitmap clones performance-wise:

In the general case we do not want to call find_pack_entry_one() more than
once, because it is expensive. This patch splits the loop in
want_object_in_pack() into two parts: finding the object and seeing if it
impacts our choice to include it in the pack. We may call the inexpensive
want_found_object() twice, but we will never call find_pack_entry_one() if we
do not need to.
I appreciate help and discussing this change with Junio C Hamano and
Jeff King.

With this patch, --batch can be combined with --textconv or --filters.
For this to work, the input needs to have the form
<object name><single white space><path>
so that the filters can be chosen appropriately.

There are circumstances when it is relatively easy to figure out the
object name for a given path, but not the name of the containing tree.
For example, when looking at a diff generated by Git, the object names
are recorded, but not the revision. As a matter of fact, the revisions
from which the diff was generated may not even exist locally.
In such a case, the user would have to generate a fake revision just to
be able to use --textconv or --filters.
Let's simplify this dramatically, because we do not really need that
revision at all: all we care about is that we know the path. In the
scenario described above, we do know the path, and we just want to
specify it separately from the object name.
Example usage:
git cat-file --textconv --path=main.c 0f1937fd

The --filters option applies the convert_to_working_tree() filter for
the path when showing the contents of a regular file blob object;
the contents are written out as-is for other types of objects.
This feature comes in handy when a 3rd-party tool wants to work with
the contents of files from past revisions as if they had been checked
out, but without detouring via temporary files.

"git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to
reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing
$path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it
learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding
repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able.
* sb/submodule-clone-rr:
clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates
clone: implement optional references
clone: clarify option_reference as required
clone: factor out checking for an alternate path
submodule--helper update-clone: allow multiple references
submodule--helper module-clone: allow multiple references
t7408: merge short tests, factor out testing method
t7408: modernize style
Enhance "git status --porcelain" output by collecting more data on
the state of the index and the working tree files, which may
further be used to teach git-prompt (in contrib/) to make fewer
calls to git.
* jh/status-v2-porcelain:
status: unit tests for --porcelain=v2
test-lib-functions.sh: add lf_to_nul helper
git-status.txt: describe --porcelain=v2 format
status: print branch info with --porcelain=v2 --branch
status: print per-file porcelain v2 status data
status: collect per-file data for --porcelain=v2
status: support --porcelain[=<version>]
status: cleanup API to wt_status_print
status: rename long-format print routines
"git nosuchcommand --help" said "No manual entry for gitnosuchcommand",
which was not intuitive, given that "git nosuchcommand" said "git:
'nosuchcommand' is not a git command".
* rt/help-unknown:
help: make option --help open man pages only for Git commands
help: introduce option --exclude-guides
An incoming "git push" that attempts to push too many bytes can now
be rejected by setting a new configuration variable at the receiving
end.
* cc/receive-pack-limit:
receive-pack: allow a maximum input size to be specified
unpack-objects: add --max-input-size=<size> option
index-pack: add --max-input-size=<size> option
"git format-patch --cover-letter HEAD^" to format a single patch
with a separate cover letter now numbers the output as [PATCH 0/1]
and [PATCH 1/1] by default.
* jk/format-patch-number-singleton-patch-with-cover:
format-patch: show 0/1 and 1/1 for singleton patch with cover letter
