The machinery to clone & fetch, which in turn involves packing and
unpacking objects, have been told how to omit certain objects using
the filtering mechanism introduced by the jh/object-filtering
topic, and also mark the resulting pack as a promisor pack to
tolerate missing objects, taking advantage of the mechanism
introduced by the jh/fsck-promisors topic.
* jh/partial-clone:
t5616: test bulk prefetch after partial fetch
fetch: inherit filter-spec from partial clone
t5616: end-to-end tests for partial clone
fetch-pack: restore save_commit_buffer after use
unpack-trees: batch fetching of missing blobs
clone: partial clone
partial-clone: define partial clone settings in config
fetch: support filters
fetch: refactor calculation of remote list
fetch-pack: test support excluding large blobs
fetch-pack: add --no-filter
fetch-pack, index-pack, transport: partial clone
upload-pack: add object filtering for partial clone
In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the machinery
for checking object connectivity used by gc and fsck has been
taught that a missing object is OK when it is referenced by a
packfile specially marked as coming from trusted repository that
promises to make them available on-demand and lazily.
* jh/fsck-promisors:
gc: do not repack promisor packfiles
rev-list: support termination at promisor objects
sha1_file: support lazily fetching missing objects
introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object
index-pack: refactor writing of .keep files
fsck: support promisor objects as CLI argument
fsck: support referenced promisor objects
fsck: support refs pointing to promisor objects
fsck: introduce partialclone extension
extension.partialclone: introduce partial clone extension
When 'git show' is called without any object it defaults to HEAD. This
has been true since d4ed9793fd ("Simplify common default options setup
for built-in log family.", 2006-04-16).
The SYNOPSIS suggests that the object argument is required. Clarify
that it is not required and note the default.

The -e option added in 7950571ad7 ("A few more options for
git-cat-file", 2005-12-03) has always errored out with message on
stderr saying that the provided object is malformed, like this:
$ git cat-file -e malformed; echo $?
fatal: Not a valid object name malformed
128
A reader of this documentation may be misled into thinking that
if ! git cat-file -e "$object" [...]
as opposed to:
if ! git cat-file -e "$object" 2>/dev/null [...]
is sufficient to implement a truly silent test that checks whether
some arbitrary $object string was both valid, and pointed to an
object that exists.

Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs,
such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as
'<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer
number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right.
The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that
could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that
removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches.
Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this
patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting
the information to what is shown. For example:
$ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile
b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now
47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:"
we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in
v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The
reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil
merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

The same document for "--diff-filter" is included by many
programs in the diff family. Because it mentions all
possible types (added, removed, etc), this may imply to the
reader that all types can be generated by a particular
command. But this isn't necessarily the case; "diff-files"
cannot generally produce an "Added" entry, since the diff is
limited to what is already in the index.
Let's make it clear that the list here is the full one, and
does not imply anything about what a particular invocation
may produce.
Note that conditionally including items (e.g., omitting
"Added" in the git-diff-files manpage) isn't the right
solution here for two reasons:
- The problem isn't diff-files, but doing an index to
working tree diff. "git diff" can do the same diff, but
also has other modes where "Added" does show up.
- The direction of the diff matters. Doing "diff-files -R"
can get you Added entries (but not Deleted ones).
So it's best just to explain that the set of available types
depends on the specific diff invocation.

049e64aa50 ("Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc",
2017-11-12) changed the `git blame` and `git shortlog` examples given in
the section on sending your patches.
In order to italicize the `$path` argument the commands are enclosed in
plus characters as opposed to backticks. The difference between the
quoting methods is that backtick enclosed text is not subject to further
expansion. This formatting makes reading SubmittingPatches in a git
clone a little more difficult. In addition to the underscores around
`$path` the `--` chars in `git shortlog --no-merges` must be replaced
with `{litdd}`.
Use backticks to quote these commands. The italicized `$path` is lost
from the html version but the commands can be read (and copied) more
easily by users reading the text version. These readers are more likely
to use the commands while submitting patches. Make it easier for them.

"git describe" was taught to dig trees deeper to find a
<commit-ish>:<path> that refers to a given blob object.
* sb/describe-blob:
builtin/describe.c: describe a blob
builtin/describe.c: factor out describe_commit
builtin/describe.c: print debug statements earlier
builtin/describe.c: rename `oid` to avoid variable shadowing

list-objects.c: factor out traverse_trees_and_blobs
t6120: fix typo in test name
"git merge" learned to pay attention to merge.verifySignatures
configuration variable and pretend as if '--verify-signatures'
option was given from the command line.
* hi/merge-verify-sig-config:
t5573, t7612: clean up after unexpected success of 'pull' and 'merge'
t: add tests for pull --verify-signatures
merge: add config option for verifySignatures
Before 425a28e0a4 (diff-lib: allow ita entries treated as "not yet exist
in index" - 2016-10-24) there are never "new files" in the index, which
essentially disables rename detection because we only detect renames
when a new file appears in a diff pair.
After that commit, an i-t-a entry can appear as a new file in "git
diff-files". But the diff callback function in wt-status.c does not
handle this case and produces incorrect status output.
PS. The reader may notice that this patch adds a new xstrdup() but not
a free(). Yes we leak memory (the same for head_path). But wt_status
so far has been short lived, this leak should not matter in
practice.
