The command accesses default_abbrev (defined in environment.c and is

The MAX_IN_VAIN mechanism was introduced in commit f061e5f ("fetch-pack:
give up after getting too many "ack continue"", 2006-05-24) to stop ref
negotiation if a number of consecutive "have"s have been sent with no
corresponding new acks. This is to stop the client from digging too deep
in an irrelevant side branch in vain without ever finding a common
ancestor. A use case (as described in that commit) is the scenario in
which the local repository has more roots than the remote repository.
However, during a negotiation in which stateless RPCs are used,
MAX_IN_VAIN will (almost) never trigger (in the more-roots scenario
above and others) because in each new request, the client has to inform
the server of objects it already has and knows the server has (to remind
the server of the state), which the server then acks.
Make fetch-pack only consider, as new acks for the purpose of
MAX_IN_VAIN, acks for objects for which the client has never received an
ack before in this session.

We call getaddrinfo() to try to convert a short hostname
into a fully-qualified one (to use it as an email domain).
If there isn't a canonical name, getaddrinfo() will
generally return either a NULL addrinfo list, or one in
which ai->ai_canonname is a copy of the original name.
However, if the result of gethostname() looks like an IP
address, then getaddrinfo() behaves differently on some
systems. On OS X, it will return a "struct addrinfo" with a
NULL ai_canonname, and we segfault feeding it to strchr().
This is hard to test reliably because it involves not only a
system where we we have to fallback to gethostname() to come
up with an ident, but also where the hostname is a number
with no dots. But I was able to replicate the bug by faking
a hostname, like:
diff --git a/ident.c b/ident.c
index e20a772..b790d28 100644

if (strchr(buf, '.'))
strbuf_addstr(out, buf);
else if (canonical_name(buf, out) < 0) {
and running "git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT" on an OS X system.
Before this patch it segfaults, and after we correctly
complain of the bogus "user@1.(none)" address (though this
bogus address would be suitable for non-object uses like
writing reflogs).

When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.
In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.
That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.
This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.
This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:
git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat
work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

The verify_packfile() does not explicitly open the packfile;
instead, it starts with a sha1 checksum over the whole pack,
and relies on use_pack() to open the packfile as a side
effect.
If the pack cannot be opened for whatever reason (either
because its header information is corrupted, or perhaps
because a simultaneous repack deleted it), then use_pack()
will die(), as it has no way to return an error. This is not
ideal, as verify_packfile() otherwise tries to gently return
an error (this lets programs like git-fsck go on to check
other packs).
Instead, let's check is_pack_valid() up front, and return an
error if it fails. This will open the pack as a side effect,
and then use_pack() will later rely on our cached
descriptor, and avoid calling die().
