If the user enables untracked cache, then
- move worktree to an unsupported filesystem
- or simply upgrade OS
- or move the whole (portable) disk from one machine to another
- or access a shared fs from another machine
there's no guarantee that untracked cache can still function properly.
Record the worktree location and OS footprint in the cache. If it
changes, err on the safe side and disable the cache. The user can
'update-index --untracked-cache' again to make sure all conditions are
met.
This adds a new requirement that setup_git_directory* must be called
before read_cache() because we need worktree location by then, or the
cache is dropped.
This change does not cover all bases, you can fool it if you try
hard. The point is to stop accidents.

receive-pack.c: shorten the execute_commands loop over all commands
Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions,
and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt.
This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation.
We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the
text document, or all in the header.
Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the
formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the
documentation close to the related code. The hope is that
this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable
comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier
for writers to keep the documentation up to date.
This is more or less a straight import of the text from
api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc
formatting. The exceptions are:
1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**"
to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This
may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print
it.
2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name,
as it is available in the context directly below. So:
`strbuf_add`::
Add data of given length to the buffer.
from api-strbuf.txt becomes:
/**
* Add data of given length to the buffer.
*/
void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t);
As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc
for that list item was dropped in favor of straight
blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we
are not in a list item).
3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments
and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever
version was more descriptive, and eliminated any
redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api
documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated
this as redundant with the actual definition, which can
be seen directly below the comment.
4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match
the ordering of the API documentation, under the
assumption that more thought went into the grouping
there.

Credential helpers are asked in turn until one of them give
positive response, which is cumbersome to turn off when you need to
run Git in an automated setting. The credential helper interface
learned to allow a helper to say "stop, don't ask other helpers."
Also GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT environment can be set to false to disable
our built-in prompt mechanism for passwords.
* jk/credential-quit:
prompt: respect GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT to disable terminal prompts
credential: let helpers tell us to quit
When we are trying to fill a credential, we loop over the
set of defined credential-helpers, then fall back to running
askpass, and then finally prompt on the terminal. Helpers
which cannot find a credential are free to tell us nothing,
but they cannot currently ask us to stop prompting.
This patch lets them provide a "quit" attribute, which asks
us to stop the process entirely (avoiding running more
helpers, as well as the askpass/terminal prompt).
This has a few possible uses:
1. A helper which prompts the user itself (e.g., in a
dialog) can provide a "cancel" button to the user to
stop further prompts.
2. Some helpers may know that prompting cannot possibly
work. For example, if their role is to broker a ticket
from an external auth system and that auth system
cannot be contacted, there is no point in continuing
(we need a ticket to authenticate, and the user cannot
provide one by typing it in).

If closing an open lockfile fails, then we cannot be sure of the
contents of the lockfile, so there is nothing sensible to do but
delete it. This change also insures that the lock_file object is left
in a defined state in this error path (namely, unlocked).
The only caller that is ultimately affected by this change is
try_merge_strategy() -> write_locked_index(), which can call
close_lock_file() via various execution paths. This caller uses a
static lock_file object which previously could have been reused after
a failed close_lock_file() even though it was still in locked state.
This change causes the lock_file object to be unlocked on failure,
thus fixing this error-handling path.

The macro ALLOC_GROW manages several aspects of dynamic memory
allocations for arrays: It performs overprovisioning in order to avoid
reallocations in future calls, updates the allocation size variable,
multiplies the item size and thus allows users to simply specify the
item count, performs the reallocation and updates the array pointer.
Sometimes this is too much. Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only
takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the
number of items the array can store. It can increase and also decrease
the size. Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and

In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an
repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send
a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer
include it in the push certificate. The receiving end uses an HMAC
hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time
stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to
be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate
the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge
a nonce that looks like it originated from it.
The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks
to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the
certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the
push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is
exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK"
if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so
that the hooks can more easily check.

Record the URL of the intended recipient for a push (after
anonymizing it if it has authentication material) on a new "pushee
URL" header. Because the networking configuration (SSH-tunnels,
proxies, etc.) on the pushing user's side varies, the receiving
repository may not know the single canonical URL all the pushing
users would refer it as (besides, many sites allow pushing over
ssh://host/path and https://host/path protocols to the same
repository but with different local part of the path). So this
value may not be reliably used for replay-attack prevention
purposes, but this will still serve as a human readable hint to
identify the repository the certificate refers to.

With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even
though we already send a signed copy of the same information when
push certificate is in use. Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair
not to do so.
The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure
that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet
outside the push certificate. Otherwise a pusher can claim to be
pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while
issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will
evade later audits.
Finally, start documenting the protocol.

Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.
Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.
Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.
Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get()

run-command: store an optional argv_array
This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to
the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work
tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.)
This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and
$GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over
time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in
index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this
patch.
Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if
the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just
looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The
good news is one shared index is useable for long, until
$GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index
must be created.
The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index
mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on
split index mode again.

STRING_LIST_INIT_{NODUP,DUP} initializers list values only
for earlier structure members, relying on the usual
convention in C that the omitted members are initailized to
0, i.e. the former is expanded to the latter:
struct string_list l = STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP;
struct string_list l = { NULL, 0, 0, 1 };
and the last member that is not mentioned (i.e. 'cmp') is
initialized to NULL.
While there is nothing wrong in this construct, spelling out
all the values where the macros are defined will serve also
as a documentation, so let's do so.

operate over the whole strbuf, rather than assuming that a

We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but
there would be no callers (in most pure-string cases, we
actually duplicate and lowercase the duplicate, for which we

All child_process structs need to point to an argv. For
flexibility, we do not mandate the use of a dynamic
argv_array. However, because the child_process does not own
the memory, this can make memory management with a
separate argv_array difficult.
For example, if a function calls start_command but not
finish_command, the argv memory must persist. The code needs
to arrange to clean up the argv_array separately after
finish_command runs. As a result, some of our code in this
situation just leaks the memory.
To help such cases, this patch adds a built-in argv_array to
the child_process, which gets cleaned up automatically (both
in finish_command and when start_command fails). Callers
may use it if they choose, but can continue to use the raw
argv if they wish.

Turns out that putting 'link:' before the 'http' is actually superfluous
in AsciiDoc, as there's already a predefined macro to handle it.
"http, https, [etc] URLs are rendered using predefined inline macros."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_urls
"Hypertext links to files on the local file system are specified
using the link inline macro."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_linking_to_local_documents
Despite being superfluous, the reference implementation of AsciiDoc
tolerates the extra 'link:' and silently removes it, giving a functioning
link in the generated HTML. However, AsciiDoctor (the Ruby implementation
of AsciiDoc used to render the http://git-scm.com/ site) does /not/ have
this behaviour, and so generates broken links, as can be seen here:
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-cvsimport (links to cvs2git & parsecvs)
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch (link to The BFG)
It's worth noting that after this change, the html generated by 'make html'
in the git project is identical, and all links still work.

When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.
In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.
As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.
The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.
But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.
This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.
Here are perf results for p5310:
Test origin/master HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.2: repack to disk 36.81(37.82+1.43) 47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6% 47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7%
5310.3: simulated clone 30.78(29.70+2.14) 1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5% 1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5%
5310.4: simulated fetch 3.16(6.10+0.08) 3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0% 1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2%
5310.6: partial bitmap 36.76(43.19+1.81) 6.71(11.25+0.76) -81.7% 4.08(6.26+0.46) -88.9%
You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.
This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote
counterpart.

If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow
repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref
advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has
the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for
the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary.
This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow
repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as
today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and
upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and
can make use of this information.
The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the
following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary.
upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if
it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no
shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the
cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it.
Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on
smart-http comes later separately.
(*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision
walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the
revision walker from going out of bound because there is no
guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

The existing hashtable implementation (in hash.[ch]) uses open addressing
(i.e. resolve hash collisions by distributing entries across the table).
Thus, removal is difficult to implement with less than O(n) complexity.
Resolving collisions of entries with identical hashes (e.g. via chaining)
is left to the client code.
Add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal and is slightly
easier to use due to builtin entry chaining.
Supports all basic operations init, free, get, add, remove and iteration.
Also includes ready-to-use hash functions based on the public domain FNV-1
algorithm (http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv).
The per-entry data structure (hashmap_entry) is piggybacked in front of
the client's data structure to save memory. See test-hashmap.c for usage
examples.
The hashtable is resized by a factor of four when 80% full. With these
settings, average memory consumption is about 2/3 of hash.[ch], and
insertion is about twice as fast due to less frequent resizing.
Lookups are also slightly faster, because entries are strictly confined to
their bucket (i.e. no data of other buckets needs to be traversed).

Currently to fill a struct pathspec, we do:
const char **paths;
paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv);
...
init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths);
"paths" can only carry bare strings, which loses information from
command line arguments such as pathspec magic or the prefix part's
length for each argument.
parse_pathspec() is introduced to combine the two calls into one. The
plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with
parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of
parse_pathspec().
parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that
it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can
enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no
problem with the new magic.
"flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to
pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing
literal pathspec when no magic is used.
With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions
that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and
parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be
reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in
favor of parse_pathspec().

We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options
of various commands, but it is better to treat --expire=all and
--expire=now a bit more specially than using the current timestamp.

expiry dates.

The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options. It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request. Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:
* Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.
* You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
touched_flags field;
* And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
which bits the user touched;
* There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does
not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object
for shallow <obj-id>". The client may have truncated the history at
the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit
may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this
unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be
sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where
the updated history of the client is cauterised.
The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to
remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it
does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic
because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected
by the server.

'git-status --ignored' still scans the work tree twice to collect
untracked and ignored files, respectively.
fill_directory / read_directory already supports collecting untracked and
ignored files in a single directory scan. However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED
flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it
doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with
--untracked=all doesn't work).
The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored
files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as
DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git.
We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar
to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the
other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does.
In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either
dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move
the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a
common place.
In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read
results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call.
builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add
specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity.
Update API documentation to reflect the changes.
Performance: with this patch, 'git-status --ignored' is typically as fast
as 'git-status'.

run-command: encode signal death as a positive integer
The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo
now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the
longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some
guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias
for --depth=2147483647.
Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The
effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is
more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom
anymore.
The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits
depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is
probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or
subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually
happens.
(*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can
contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK

Previously each exclude_list could potentially contain patterns
from multiple sources. For example dir->exclude_list[EXC_FILE]
would typically contain patterns from .git/info/exclude and
core.excludesfile, and dir->exclude_list[EXC_DIRS] could contain
patterns from multiple per-directory .gitignore files during
directory traversal (i.e. when dir->exclude_stack was more than
one item deep).
We split these composite exclude_lists up into three groups of
exclude_lists (EXC_CMDL / EXC_DIRS / EXC_FILE as before), so that each
exclude_list now contains patterns from a single source. This will
allow us to cleanly track the origin of each pattern simply by adding
a src field to struct exclude_list, rather than to struct exclude,
which would make memory management of the source string tricky in the
EXC_DIRS case where its contents are dynamically generated.
Similarly, by moving the filebuf member from struct exclude_stack to
struct exclude_list, it allows us to track and subsequently free
memory buffers allocated during the parsing of all exclude files,
rather than only tracking buffers allocated for files in the EXC_DIRS
group.

When a sub-command dies due to a signal, we encode the
signal number into the numeric exit status as "signal -
128". This is easy to identify (versus a regular positive
error code), and when cast to an unsigned integer (e.g., by
feeding it to exit), matches what a POSIX shell would return
when reporting a signal death in $? or through its own exit
code.
So we have a negative value inside the code, but once it
passes across an exit() barrier, it looks positive (and any
code we receive from a sub-shell will have the positive
form). E.g., death by SIGPIPE (signal 13) will look like
-115 to us in inside git, but will end up as 141 when we
call exit() with it. And a program killed by SIGPIPE but run
via the shell will come to us with an exit code of 141.
Unfortunately, this means that when the "use_shell" option
is set, we need to be on the lookout for _both_ forms. We
might or might not have actually invoked the shell (because
we optimize out some useless shell calls). If we didn't invoke
the shell, we will will see the sub-process's signal death
directly, and run-command converts it into a negative value.
But if we did invoke the shell, we will see the shell's
128+signal exit status. To be thorough, we would need to
check both, or cast the value to an unsigned char (after
checking that it is not -1, which is a magic error value).
Fortunately, most callsites do not care at all whether the
exit was from a code or from a signal; they merely check for
a non-zero status, and sometimes propagate the error via
exit(). But for the callers that do care, we can make life
slightly easier by just using the consistent positive form.
This actually fixes two minor bugs:
1. In launch_editor, we check whether the editor died from
SIGINT or SIGQUIT. But we checked only the negative
form, meaning that we would fail to notice a signal
death exit code which was propagated through the shell.
2. In handle_alias, we assume that a negative return value
from run_command means that errno tells us something
interesting (like a fork failure, or ENOENT).
Otherwise, we simply propagate the exit code. Negative
signal death codes confuse us, and we print a useless
"unable to run alias 'foo': Success" message. By
encoding signal deaths using the positive form, the
existing code just propagates it as it would a normal
non-zero exit code.
The downside is that callers of run_command can no longer
differentiate between a signal received directly by the
sub-process, and one propagated. However, no caller
currently cares, and since we already optimize out some
calls to the shell under the hood, that distinction is not
something that should be relied upon by callers.
Fix the same logic in t/test-terminal.perl for consistency [jc:
raised by Jonathan in the discussion].

Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but

Add two new functions, string_list_split() and
string_list_split_in_place(). These split a string into a string_list
on a separator character. The first makes copies of the substrings
(leaving the input string untouched) and the second splits the
original string in place, overwriting the separator characters with
NULs and referring to the original string's memory.
These functions are similar to the strbuf_split_*() functions except
that they work with the more powerful string_list interface.

Use argv-array API in "git fetch" implementation.

fetch: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
argv-array: fix bogus cast when freeing array

Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing
only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To
use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same
set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by
manually manipulating the array's internal members.
Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove
elements from the end.

Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.
We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.
We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:
1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
the linked manpage
2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,
only html

In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look
for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global
config_exclusive_filename variable. By providing a version of git_config
that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global
go away.
Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a
natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care
about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the
large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git).
The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling
config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added
into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect
config_exclusive_filename. That's OK, because the only other caller of
git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function
which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call
check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug,
anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).
