The repository set-up sequence has been streamlined (the biggest
change is that there is no longer git_config_early()), so that we
do not attempt to look into refs/* when we know we do not have a
Git repository.

config: drop git_config_early
check_repository_format_gently: stop using git_config_early
lazily load core.sharedrepository
wrap shared_repository global in get/set accessors
setup: document check_repository_format()
Nobody reads this anymore, and they're not likely to; the
interesting thing is whether or not we passed
check_repository_format(), and possibly the individual
"extension" variables.

The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of
check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the
other values we check there. Something like
core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo
config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user
config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by
default).
So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config.
Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22)
says:
[...]the config variable is set in the function which
checks the repository format. If this were done in
git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need
to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config)
first.
This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up
our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset
infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a
single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand.
This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems
with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called,
but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we
were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would
not have been set by check_repository_format_version!). The
trickiest caller is git-init, but it handles the values
manually itself.

It would be useful to control access to the global
shared_repository, so that we can lazily load its config.
The first step to doing so is to make sure all access
goes through a set of functions.
This step is purely mechanical, and should result in no

Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was
found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure,
which records some parts of the setup_git_directory()
process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or
not).
One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave
appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the
startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by
the main program, and the only program that sets it up is
the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to
startup_info, but externally linked programs do not.
Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be
careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to
trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1():
$ git fast-import <<-\EOF
tag foo
from HEAD:./whatever
EOF
fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized.
Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to
fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there
may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins
resolve sha1s.
So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static
variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the
library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular
extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the
existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection
in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as
they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the
test covering this case, which was a rather artificial
situation using one of the test-* programs).

To correctly perform its testing function,

As a previous patch makes read_index_from() change the state of
the untracked cache and as test-dump-untracked-cache indirectly
calls this function, we need a mechanism to prevent
read_index_from() from changing the untracked cache state when
it's called from test-dump-untracked-cache.

An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by
exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree,

setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves.

Prepare for Git on-disk repository representation to undergo

It's a common pattern to do:
foo = xmalloc(strlen(one) + strlen(two) + 1 + 1);
sprintf(foo, "%s %s", one, two);
(or possibly some variant with strcpy()s or a more
complicated length computation). We can switch these to use
xstrfmt, which is shorter, involves less error-prone manual
computation, and removes many sprintf and strcpy calls which
make it harder to audit the code for real buffer overflows.

Running an aliased command from a subdirectory when the .git thing
in the working tree is a gitfile pointing elsewhere did not work.
* nd/export-worktree:
setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR
In the test case, we run setup_git_dir_gently() the first time to read
$GIT_DIR/config so that we can resolve aliases. We'll enter
setup_discovered_git_dir() and may or may not call set_git_dir() near
the end of the function, depending on whether the detected git dir is
".git" or not. This set_git_dir() will set env var $GIT_DIR.
For normal repo, git dir detected via setup_discovered_git_dir() will be
".git", and set_git_dir() is not called. If .git file is used however,
the git dir can't be ".git" and set_git_dir() is called and $GIT_DIR
set. This is the key of this problem.
If we expand an alias (or autocorrect command names), then
setup_git_dir_gently() is run the second time. If $GIT_DIR is not set in
the first run, we run the same setup_discovered_git_dir() as before.
Nothing to see. If it is, however, we'll enter setup_explicit_git_dir()
this time.
This is where the "fun" is. If $GIT_WORK_TREE is not set but
$GIT_DIR is, you are supposed to be at the root level of the
worktree. But if you are in a subdir "foo/bar" (real worktree's top
is "foo"), this rule bites you: your detected worktree is now
"foo/bar", even though the first run correctly detected worktree as
"foo". You get "internal error: work tree has already been set" as a
result.
Bottom line is, when $GIT_DIR is set, $GIT_WORK_TREE should be set too
unless there's no work tree. But setting $GIT_WORK_TREE inside
set_git_dir() may backfire. We don't know at that point if work tree is
already configured by the caller. So set it when work tree is
detected. It does not harm if $GIT_WORK_TREE is set while $GIT_DIR is
not.

If this extension is used in a repository, then no
operations should run which may drop objects from the object
storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage
with other repositories whose refs you cannot see.
For instance, if you do:
$ git clone -s parent child
$ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true
$ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1
you now have additional safety when running git in the
parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an
error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will
continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations).
Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will
fail on every operation.
Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by
default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks
backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should
make explicitly.

Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore
broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed
with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better
for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to
silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are
computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune
objects).
These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that
ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For
instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to
inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it
would in turn have to tell the revision code that our
"--all" should include broken refs.
It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous"
operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we

filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior
commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS

We make this check optional for two reasons:
1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is
unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32.
In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as
the restricted names are rather obscure and almost
certainly would never come up in practice.
2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we

This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config

This variable is intended to support multiple working directories
attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working
directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more
linked working directories. These working directories and the main
repository share the same repository directory.
In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point
to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused
subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the
repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point:
- worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level
refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR.
- the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow...
are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's
a separate patch)
Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse
--git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR"
business.
The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and
strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR,
not the other way around in case a developer adds a new
worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared
across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party
commands)
The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are:
ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG
BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via
environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or
git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use
get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file()
respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for
example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in
sha1_file.c).
This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those
environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar,
git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done
for the two remaining env variables.
"git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use.
This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup
instead of xmalloc + sprintf - 2014-06-19) because using git_pathdup
here would result in infinite recursion:
setup_git_env() -> git_pathdup("objects") -> .. -> adjust_git_path()
-> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set
yet -> setup_git_env()
I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path().
But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is
introduced, git_pathdup_literal("objects") needs adjust_git_path() to
replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

If somebody wants to only know on-disk footprint of an object
without having to know its type or payload size, we can bypass a
lot of code to cheaply learn it.
* jk/cat-file-batch-optim:
Fix some sparse warnings
sha1_object_info_extended: pass object_info to helpers
sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional
packed_object_info: make type lookup optional
packed_object_info: hoist delta type resolution to helper
sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional
sha1_object_info_extended: rename "status" to "type"
cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().
Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.
With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:
$ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
$ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects
on the linux.git repository:
real 1m13.494s
user 0m25.924s
sys 0m47.532s
If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:
real 0m54.697s
user 0m21.692s
sys 0m32.916s
but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:
real 0m7.452s
user 0m6.836s
sys 0m0.608s
This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that

5f44324 (core: log offset pack data accesses happened - 2011-07-06)
provides a way to observe pack access patterns via a config
switch. Setting an environment variable looks more obvious than a
config var, especially when you just need to _observe_, and more
inline with other tracing knobs we have.
Document it as it may be useful for remote troubleshooting.

An aliased command spawned from a bare repository that does not say
it is bare with "core.bare = yes" is treated as non-bare by mistake.
* jk/alias-in-bare:
setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos
environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_env
cache.h: drop LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:
GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status
would compare against the cwd.
Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails, as we expect
git config alias.st status
git status ;# does not fail, but should
What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.
It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).
You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails
git --bare status ;# does NOT fail
We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.
Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.
The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within
the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever
GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared.
In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of
the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared
actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing
to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing.
While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT
macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which
can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

We keep a static array of variables that should be cleared
when invoking a sub-process on another repo. We statically
size the array with the LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE macro so that
any readers do not have to count it themselves.
As it turns out, no readers actually use the macro, and it
creates a maintenance headache, as modifications to the
array need to happen in two places (one to add the new
element, and another to bump the size).
Since it's NULL-terminated, we can just drop the size macro
entirely. While we're at it, we'll clean up some comments
around it, and add a new mention of it at the top of the
list of environment variable macros. Even though
local_repo_env is right below that list, it's easy to miss,
and additions to that list should consider local_repo_env.

Allow a configuration variable core.commentchar to customize the
character used to comment out the hint lines in the edited text from
the default '#'.
* jc/custom-comment-char:
Allow custom "comment char"
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.
Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.
This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).
