http: add support for selecting SSL backends at runtime
As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the certificate
bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would override the
Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable by default, let's
tell Git to not ask cURL to use that bundle by default when the `schannel`
backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`, unless
`http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.

This adds support for a new http.schannelCheckRevoke config value.
This config value is only used if http.sslBackend is set to "schannel",
which forces cURL to use the Windows Certificate Store when validating
server certificates associated with a remote server.
This config value should only be set to "false" if you are in an
environment where revocation checks are blocked by the network, with
no alternative options.
This is only supported in cURL 7.44 or later.
Note: originally, we wanted to call the config setting
`http.schannel.checkRevoke`. This, however, does not work: the `http.*`
config settings can be limited to specific URLs via `http.<url>.*`
(and this feature would mistake `schannel` for a URL).

A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it
works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.

"gc --auto" ended up calling exit(-1) upon error, which has been
corrected to use exit(1). Also the error reporting behaviour when

failure in such a case.

As of version 7.56.0, curl supports being compiled with multiple SSL
backends.
This patch adds the Git side of that feature: by setting http.sslBackend
to "openssl" or "schannel", Git for Windows can now choose the SSL
backend at runtime.
This comes in handy on Windows because Secure Channel ("schannel") is
the native solution, accessing the Windows Credential Store, thereby
allowing for enterprise-wide management of certificates. For historical
reasons, Git for Windows needs to support OpenSSL still, as it has
previously been the only supported SSL backend in Git for Windows for
almost a decade.
The patch has been carried in Git for Windows for over a year, and is
considered mature.

The recently-introduced "core.alternateRefsCommand" allows callers to
specify with high flexibility the tips that they wish to advertise from
alternates. This flexibility comes at the cost of some inconvenience
when the caller only wishes to limit the advertisement to one or more
prefixes.
For example, to advertise only tags, a caller using
'core.alternateRefsCommand' would have to do:
$ git config core.alternateRefsCommand ' \
f() { git -C "$1" for-each-ref \
refs/tags --format="%(objectname)" }; f "$@"'
The above is cumbersome to write, so let's introduce a
"core.alternateRefsPrefixes" to address this common case. Instead, the
caller can run:
$ git config core.alternateRefsPrefixes 'refs/tags'
Which will behave identically to the longer example using
"core.alternateRefsCommand".
Since the value of "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" is appended to 'git
for-each-ref' and then executed, include a "--" before taking the
configured value to avoid misinterpreting arguments as flags to 'git
for-each-ref'.
In the case that the caller wishes to specify multiple prefixes, they
may separate them by whitespace. If "core.alternateRefsCommand" is set,
it will take precedence over "core.alternateRefsPrefixes".

When in a repository containing one or more alternates, Git would
sometimes like to list references from those alternates. For example,
'git receive-pack' lists the "tips" pointed to by references in those
alternates as special ".have" references.
Listing ".have" references is designed to make pushing changes from
upstream to a fork a lightweight operation, by advertising to the pusher
that the fork already has the objects (via its alternate). Thus, the
client can avoid sending them.
However, when the alternate (upstream, in the previous example) has a
pathologically large number of references, the initial advertisement is
too expensive. In fact, it can dominate any such optimization where the
pusher avoids sending certain objects.
Introduce "core.alternateRefsCommand" in order to provide a facility to
limit or filter alternate references. This can be used, for example, to
filter out references the alternate does not wish to send (for space
concerns, or otherwise) during the initial advertisement.
Let the repository that has alternates configure this command to avoid
trusting the alternate to provide us a safe command to run in the shell.
To find the alternate, pass its absolute path as the first argument.

It's annoying not to be able to put comments and empty lines in the

Change the implementation of the skipList feature to use oidset
instead of oid_array to store SHA-1s for later lookup.
This list is parsed once on startup by fsck, fetch-pack or
receive-pack depending on the *.skipList config in use. I.e. only once
per invocation, but note that for "clone --recurse-submodules" each
submodule will re-parse the list, in addition to the main project, and
it will be re-parsed when checking .gitmodules blobs, see
fb16287719 ("fsck: check skiplist for object in fsck_blob()",
2018-06-27).
Memory usage is a bit higher, but we don't need to keep track of the
sort order anymore. Embed the oidset into struct fsck_options to make
its ownership clear (no hidden sharing) and avoid unnecessary pointer
indirection.

Ever since the skipList support was first added in cd94c6f91 ("fsck:
git receive-pack: support excluding objects from fsck'ing",
2015-06-22) the documentation for the format has that the file is a
sorted list of object names.
Thus, anyone using the feature would have thought the list needed to
be sorted. E.g. I recently in conjunction with my fetch.fsck.*
implementation in 1362df0d41 ("fetch: implement fetch.fsck.*",
2018-07-27) wrote some code to ship a skipList, and went out of my way
to sort it.
Doing so seems intuitive, since it contains fixed-width records, and
has no support for comments, so one might expect it to be binary
searched in-place on-disk.
However, as documented here this was never a requirement, so let's
change the documentation. Since this is a file format change let's
also document what was said about this in the past, so e.g. someone
like myself reading the new docs can see this never needed to be
sorted ("why do I have all this code to sort this thing...").

Any other checkout options will still go through the former code path.
If sparse_checkout is on, require the user to manually opt in to this
optimzed behavior by setting the config setting checkout.optimizeNewBranch
to true as we will no longer update the skip-worktree bit in the index, nor
add/remove files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse

It *is* a confusing thing to look at a diff of diffs. All too easy is it
to mix up whether the -/+ markers refer to the "inner" or the "outer"
diff, i.e. whether a `+` indicates that a line was added by either the
old or the new diff (or both), or whether the new diff does something
different than the old diff.
To make things easier to process for normal developers, we introduced
the dual color mode which colors the lines according to the commit diff,
i.e. lines that are added by a commit (whether old, new, or both) are
colored in green. In non-dual color mode, the lines would be colored
according to the outer diff: if the old commit added a line, it would be
colored red (because that line addition is only present in the first
commit range that was specified on the command-line, i.e. the "old"
commit, but not in the second commit range, i.e. the "new" commit).
However, this dual color mode is still not making things clear enough,
as we are looking at two levels of diffs, and we still only pick a color
according to *one* of them (the outer diff marker is colored
differently, of course, but in particular with deep indentation, it is
easy to lose track of that outer diff marker's background color).
Therefore, let's add another dimension to the mix. Still use
green/red/normal according to the commit diffs, but now also dim the
lines that were only in the old commit, and use bold face for the lines
that are only in the new commit.
That way, it is much easier not to lose track of, say, when we are
looking at a line that was added in the previous iteration of a patch
series but the new iteration adds a slightly different version: the
obsolete change will be dimmed, the current version of the patch will be
bold.
At least this developer has a much easier time reading the range-diffs
that way.

The colorization is controlled with the config setting "color.remote".
Supported keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success". They
are highlighted if they appear at the start of the line, which is
common in error messages, eg.
ERROR: commit is missing Change-Id
The Git push process itself prints lots of non-actionable messages
(eg. bandwidth statistics, object counters for different phases of the
process). This obscures actionable error messages that servers may
send back. Highlighting keywords in the sideband draws more attention
to those messages.
The background for this change is that Gerrit does server-side
processing to create or update code reviews, and actionable error
messages (eg. missing Change-Id) must be communicated back to the user
during the push. User research has shown that new users have trouble
seeing these messages.
The highlighting is done on the client rather than server side, so
servers don't have to grow capabilities to understand terminal escape
codes and terminal state. It also consistent with the current state
where Git is control of the local display (eg. prefixing messages with
"remote: ").
The highlighting can be configured using color.remote.<KEYWORD>
configuration settings. Since the keys are matched case insensitively,
we match the keywords case insensitively too.
Finally, this solution is backwards compatible: many servers already
prefix their messages with "error", and they will benefit from this
change without requiring a server update. By contrast, a server-side
solution would likely require plumbing the TERM variable through the
git protocol, so it would require changes to both server and client.

This changes the behavior added in 42cc7485a2 ("negotiator/skipping:

For a feature like this it's much better to produce an error than
proceed. We don't want users to debug some amazingly slow fetch that

Implement support for fetch.fsck.* corresponding with the existing
receive.fsck.*. This allows for pedantically cloning repositories with
specific issues without turning off fetch.fsckObjects.
One such repository is https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git
which before this change will emit this error when cloned with
fetch.fsckObjects:
error: object 2b7227859263b6aabcc28355b0b994995b7148b6: zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes
fatal: Error in object
fatal: index-pack failed
Now with fetch.fsck.zeroPaddedFilemode=warn we'll warn about that
issue, but the clone will succeed:
warning: object 2b7227859263b6aabcc28355b0b994995b7148b6: zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes

warning: object 84df066176c8da3fd59b13731a86d90f4f1e5c9d: zeroPaddedFilemode: contains zero-padded file modes
The motivation for this is to be able to turn on fetch.fsckObjects
globally across a fleet of computers but still be able to manually
clone various legacy repositories by either white-listing specific
issues, or better yet whitelist specific objects.

We can already disable replace refs using a command line
option or environment variable, but those are awkward to
apply universally. Let's add a config option to do the same
thing.
That raises the question of why one might want to do so
universally. The answer is that replace refs violate the
immutability of objects. For instance, if you wanted to
cache the diff between commit XYZ and its parent, then in
theory that never changes; the hash XYZ represents the total
state. But replace refs violate that; pushing up a new ref
may create a completely new diff.
The obvious "if it hurts, don't do it" answer is not to
create replace refs if you're doing this kind of caching.
But for a site hosting arbitrary repositories, they may want
to allow users to share replace refs with each other, but
not actually respect them on the site (because the caching
is more important than the replace feature).

Some build machines started consistently failing to fetch updated
source using "repo sync", with error
error: The last gc run reported the following. Please correct the root cause
and remove /build/.repo/projects/tools/git.git/gc.log.
Automatic cleanup will not be performed until the file is removed.
warning: There are too many unreachable loose objects; run 'git prune' to remove them.
The cause takes some time to describe.
In v2.0.0-rc0~145^2 (gc: config option for running --auto in
background, 2014-02-08), "git gc --auto" learned to run in the
background instead of blocking the invoking command. In this mode, it
closed stderr to avoid interleaving output with any subsequent
commands, causing warnings like the above to be swallowed; v2.6.3~24^2
(gc: save log from daemonized gc --auto and print it next time,
2015-09-19) addressed that by storing any diagnostic output in
.git/gc.log and allowing the next "git gc --auto" run to print it.
To avoid wasteful repeated fruitless gcs, when gc.log is present, the
subsequent "gc --auto" would die after printing its contents. Most
git commands, such as "git fetch", ignore the exit status from "git gc
--auto" so all is well at this point: the user gets to see the error
message, and the fetch succeeds, without a wasteful additional attempt
at an automatic gc.
External tools like repo[1], though, do care about the exit status
from "git gc --auto". In non-daemonized mode, the exit status is
straightforward: if there is an error, it is nonzero, but after a
warning like the above, the status is zero. The daemonized mode, as a
side effect of the other properties provided, offers a very strange
exit code convention:
- if no housekeeping was required, the exit status is 0
- the first real run, after forking into the background, returns exit
status 0 unconditionally. The parent process has no way to know
whether gc will succeed.
- if there is any diagnostic output in gc.log, subsequent runs return
a nonzero exit status to indicate that gc was not triggered.
There's nothing for the calling program to act on on the basis of that
error. Use status 0 consistently instead, to indicate that we decided
not to run a gc (just like if no housekeeping was required). This
way, repo and similar tools can get the benefit of the same behavior
as tools like "git fetch" that ignore the exit status from gc --auto.
Once the period of time described by gc.pruneExpire elapses, the
unreachable loose objects will be removed by "git gc --auto"
automatically.

Currently, while performing packfile negotiation, clients are only
allowed to specify their desired objects using object ids. This causes
a vulnerability to failure when an object turns non-existent during
negotiation, which may happen if, for example, the desired repository is
provided by multiple Git servers in a load-balancing arrangement and
there exists replication delay.
In order to eliminate this vulnerability, implement the ref-in-want
feature for the 'fetch' command in protocol version 2. This feature
enables the 'fetch' command to support requests in the form of ref names
through a new "want-ref <ref>" parameter. At the conclusion of
negotiation, the server will send a list of all of the wanted references
(as provided by "want-ref" lines) in addition to the generated packfile.

from someone else) the DWIMery goes away:

that ambiguity comes up I'd like to prefer "origin", and it'll still
work as though the only remote I had was "origin".
Also adjust the advice.checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName message to
mention this new config setting to the user, the full output on my
git.git is now (the last paragraph is new):
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
hint: 'master' matched more than one remote tracking branch.
hint: We found 26 remotes with a reference that matched. So we fell back
hint: on trying to resolve the argument as a path, but failed there too!
hint:
hint: If you meant to check out a remote tracking branch on, e.g. 'origin',
hint: you can do so by fully qualifying the name with the --track option:
hint:
hint: git checkout --track origin/<name>
hint:
hint: If you'd like to always have checkouts of an ambiguous <name> prefer
hint: one remote, e.g. the 'origin' remote, consider setting
hint: checkout.defaultRemote=origin in your config.
I considered splitting this into checkout.defaultRemote and
worktree.defaultRemote, but it's probably less confusing to break our
own rules that anything shared between config should live in core.*
than have two config settings, and I couldn't come up with a short
name under core.* that made sense (core.defaultRemoteForCheckout?).

As the "checkout" documentation describes:
If <branch> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in
exactly one remote (call it <remote>) with a matching name, treat
as equivalent to [...] <remote>/<branch.
This is a really useful feature. The problem is that when you add
another remote (e.g. a fork), git won't find a unique branch name
anymore, and will instead print this unhelpful message:
$ git checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git
Now it will, on my git.git checkout, print:
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
hint: 'master' matched more than one remote tracking branch.
hint: We found 26 remotes with a reference that matched. So we fell back
hint: on trying to resolve the argument as a path, but failed there too!
hint:
hint: If you meant to check out a remote tracking branch on, e.g. 'origin',
hint: you can do so by fully qualifying the name with the --track option:
hint:
hint: git checkout --track origin/<name>
Note that the "error: pathspec[...]" message is still printed. This is
because whatever else checkout may have tried earlier, its final
fallback is to try to resolve the argument as a path. E.g. in this
case:
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master pu
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec 'pu' did not match any file(s) known to git.
There we don't print the "hint:" implicitly due to earlier logic
around the DWIM fallback. That fallback is only used if it looks like
we have one argument that might be a branch.
I can't think of an intrinsic reason for why we couldn't in some
future change skip printing the "error: pathspec[...]" error. However,
to do so we'd need to pass something down to checkout_paths() to make
it suppress printing an error on its own, and for us to be confident
that we're not silencing cases where those errors are meaningful.
I don't think that's worth it since determining whether that's the
case could easily change due to future changes in the checkout logic.

After performing a merge that has conflicts git status will, by default,
attempt to detect renames which causes many objects to be examined. In a
virtualized repo, those objects do not exist locally so the rename logic
triggers them to be fetched from the server. This results in the status call
taking hours to complete on very large repos vs seconds with this patch.
Add a new config status.renames setting to enable turning off rename
detection during status and commit. This setting will default to the value
of diff.renames.
Add a new config status.renamelimit setting to to enable bounding the time
spent finding out inexact renames during status and commit. This setting
will default to the value of diff.renamelimit.
Add --no-renames command line option to status that enables overriding the
config setting from the command line. Add --find-renames[=<n>] command line
option to status that enables detecting renames and optionally setting the
similarity index.

Choose a different color for dates and imitate a 'temperature cool down'
depending upon age.
Originally I had planned to have the temperature cool down dependent on
the age of the project or file for example, as that might scale better,
but that can be added on top of this commit, e.g. instead of giving a
date, you could imagine giving a percentage that would be the linearly
interpolated between now and the beginning of the file.
Similarly to the previous patch, this offers the command line option
'--color-by-age' to enable this mode and the config option
'color.blame.highlightrecent' to select colors. A later patch will offer
a config option to select the default mode.

When using git-blame lots of lines contain redundant information, for
example in hunks that consist of multiple lines, the metadata (commit
name, author, date) are repeated. A reader may not be interested in those,
so offer an option to color the information that is repeated from the
previous line differently. Traditionally, we use CYAN for lines that
are less interesting than others (e.g. hunk header), so go with that.
The command line option '--color-lines' will trigger the coloring of
repeated lines, and the config option 'color.blame.colorLines' is
provided to select the color. Setting the config option doesn't imply
that repeated lines are colored. A later patch will introduce a config
to enable this mode by default.

This config allows us to keep <N> packs back if their size is larger
than a limit. But if this N >= gc.autoPackLimit, we may have a
problem. We are supposed to reduce the number of packs after a
threshold because it affects performance.
We could tell the user that they have incompatible gc.bigPackThreshold
and gc.autoPackLimit, but it's kinda hard when 'git gc --auto' runs in
background. Instead let's fall back to the next best stategy: try to
reduce the number of packs anyway, but keep the base pack out. This
reduces the number of packs to two and hopefully won't take up too
much resources to repack (the assumption still is the base pack takes
most resources to handle).

The --keep-largest-pack option is not very convenient to use because
you need to tell gc to do this explicitly (and probably on just a few
large repos).

--keep-largest-pack: all packs larger than the threshold are kept, not
just the largest one.

UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be
a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings
(e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1].
Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.
Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.
