When adding the information from a tag, put an empty line between the
message of the tag and the commented-out signature verification
information.
At least for the kernel workflow, I often end up re-formatting the message
that people send me in the tag data. In that situation, putting the tag
message and the tag signature verification back-to-back then means that
normal editor "reflow parapgraph" command will get confused and think that
the signature is a continuation of the last message paragraph.
So I always end up having to first add an empty line, and then go back and
reflow the last paragraph. Let's just do it in git directly.
The extra vertical space also makes the verification visually stand out
more from the user-supplied message, so it looks a bit more readable to me
too, but that may be just an odd personal preference.

In abe1998 ("git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn

1) vsnprintf formated the NULL-string as something useful (e.g
"(null)")
2) vsnprintf crashed
Neither were very convenient for formatting a new HEAD-reference.

When we show a reflog selector (e.g., via "git log -g"), we
perform some DWIM magic: while we normally show the entry's
index (e.g., HEAD@{1}), if the user has given us a date
with "--date", then we show a date-based select (e.g.,
HEAD@{yesterday}).
However, we don't want to trigger this magic if the
alternate date format we got was from the "log.date"
configuration; that is not sufficiently strong context for
us to invoke this particular magic. To fix this, commit
f4ea32f (improve reflog date/number heuristic, 2009-09-24)
introduced a "date_mode_explicit" flag in rev_info. This
flag is set only when we see a "--date" option on the
command line, and we a vanilla date to the reflog code if
the date was not explicit.
Later, commit 8f8f547 (Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD]
for reflog information, 2009-10-19) added another way to
show selectors, and it did not respect the date_mode_explicit
flag from f4ea32f.
This patch propagates the date_mode_explicit flag to the
pretty-print code, which can then use it to pass the
appropriate date field to the reflog code. This brings the
behavior of "%gd" in line with the other formats, and means
that its output is independent of any user configuration.

The send_pack function gets a "progress" flag saying "yes,
definitely show progress" or "no, definitely do not show
progress". This gets set properly by transport_push when
send_pack is called directly.
However, when the send-pack command is executed separately
(as it is for the remote-curl helper), there is no way to
tell it "definitely do this". As a result, we do not
properly respect "git push --no-progress" for smart-http
remotes; you will still get progress if stderr is a tty.
This patch teaches send-pack --progress and --no-progress,
and teaches remote-curl to pass the appropriate option to
override send-pack's isatty check. This fixes the
--no-progress case above, and as a bonus, also makes "git
push --progress" work when stderr is not a tty.

The send_pack_args struct has two verbosity flags: "quiet"
and "progress". Originally, if "quiet" was set, we would
tell pack-objects explicitly to be quiet, and if "progress"
was set, we would tell it to show progress. Otherwise, we
told it neither, and it relied on isatty(2) to make the
decision itself.
However, commit 01fdc21 changed the meaning of these
variables. Now both "quiet" and "!progress" instruct us to
tell pack-objects to be quiet (and a non-zero "progress"
means the same as before). This works well for transports
which call send_pack directly, as the transport code copies
transport->progress into send_pack_args->progress, and they
both have the same meaning.
However, the code path of calling "git send-pack" was left
behind. It always sets "progress" to 0, and thus always
tells pack-objects to be quiet. We can work around this by
checking isatty(2) ourselves in the cmd_send_pack code path,
restoring the original behavior of the send-pack command.

git-gc executes many sub-commands. The argument list for
some of these is constant, but for others we add more
arguments at runtime. The latter is implemented by allocating
a constant extra number of NULLs, and either using a custom
append function, or just referencing unused slots by number.
As of commit 7e52f56, which added two new arguments, it is
possible to exceed the constant number of slots for "repack"
by running "git gc --aggressive", causing "git gc" to die.
This patch converts all of the static argv lists to use
argv-array. In addition to fixing the overflow caused by
7e52f56, it has a few advantages:
1. We can drop the custom append function (which,
incidentally, had an off-by-one error exacerbating the
static limit).
2. We can drop the ugly magic numbers used when adding
arguments to "prune".
3. Adding further arguments will be easier; you can just
add new "push" calls without worrying about increasing
any static limits.

Since 88a21979c (fetch/pull: recurse into submodules when necessary) all
fetched commits are examined if they contain submodule changes (unless
configuration or command line options inhibit that). If a newly recorded
submodule commit is not present in the submodule, a fetch is run inside
it to download that commit.
Checking new refs was done in an else branch where it wasn't executed for
tags. This normally isn't a problem because tags are only fetched with
the branches they live on, then checking the new commits in the fetched
branches for submodule commits will also process all tags. But when a
specific tag is fetched (or the refspec contains refs/tags/) commits only
reachable by tags won't be searched for submodule commits, which is a bug.
Fix that by moving the code outside the if/else construct to handle new
tags just like any other ref. The performance impact of adding tags that
most of the time lie on a branch which is checked anyway for new submodule
commit should be minimal, as since 6859de4 (fetch: avoid quadratic loop
checking for updated submodules) all ref-tips are collected first and then
fed to a single rev-list.

When we pack everything into one big pack with "git repack
-Ad", any unreferenced objects in to-be-deleted packs are
exploded into loose objects, with the intent that they will
be examined and possibly cleaned up by the next run of "git
prune".
Since the exploded objects will receive the mtime of the
pack from which they come, if the source pack is old, those
loose objects will end up pruned immediately. In that case,
it is much more efficient to skip the exploding step
entirely for these objects.
This patch teaches pack-objects to receive the expiration
information and avoid writing these objects out. It also
teaches "git gc" to pass the value of gc.pruneexpire to
repack (which in turn learns to pass it along to
pack-objects) so that this optimization happens
automatically during "git gc" and "git gc --auto".

The user can say "git push" without specifying any refspec. When using
the "upstream" semantics via the push.default configuration, the user
wants to update the "upstream" branch of the current branch, which is the
branch at a remote repository the current branch is set to integrate with,
with this command.
However, there are cases that such a "git push" that uses the "upstream"
semantics does not make sense:
- The current branch does not have branch.$name.remote configured. By
definition, "git push" that does not name where to push to will not
know where to push to. The user may explicitly say "git push $there",
but again, by definition, no branch at repository $there is set to
integrate with the current branch in this case and we wouldn't know
which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have branch.$name.remote configured, but it
does not specify branch.$name.merge that names what branch at the
remote this branch integrates with. "git push" knows where to push in
this case (or the user may explicitly say "git push $remote" to tell us
where to push), but we do not know which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have its remote and upstream branch configured,
but the user said "git push $there", where $there is not the remote
named by "branch.$name.remote". By definition, no branch at repository
$there is set to integrate with the current branch in this case, and
this push is not meant to update any branch at the remote repository
$there.
The first two cases were already checked correctly, but the third case was
not checked and we ended up updating the branch named branch.$name.merge
at repository $there, which was totally bogus.

If a remote repo has too many tags (or branches), cloning it over the
smart HTTP transport can fail because remote-curl.c puts all the refs
from the remote repo on the fetch-pack command line. This can make the
command line longer than the global OS command line limit, causing
fetch-pack to fail.
This is especially a problem on Windows where the command line limit is
orders of magnitude shorter than Linux. There are already real repos out
there that msysGit cannot clone over smart HTTP due to this problem.
Here is an easy way to trigger this problem:
git init too-many-refs
cd too-many-refs
echo bla > bla.txt
git add .
git commit -m test
sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
tag=$(perl -e 'print "bla" x 30')
for i in `seq 50000`; do
echo $sha refs/tags/$tag-$i >> .git/packed-refs
done
Then share this repo over the smart HTTP protocol and try cloning it:
$ git clone http://localhost/.../too-many-refs/.git
Cloning into 'too-many-refs'...
fatal: cannot exec 'fetch-pack': Argument list too long
50k tags is obviously an absurd number, but it is required to
demonstrate the problem on Linux because it has a much more generous
command line limit. On Windows the clone fails with as little as 500
tags in the above loop, which is getting uncomfortably close to the
number of tags you might see in real long lived repos.
This is not just theoretical, msysGit is already failing to clone our
company repo due to this. It's a large repo converted from CVS, nearly
10 years of history.
Four possible solutions were discussed on the Git mailing list (in no
particular order):
1) Call fetch-pack multiple times with smaller batches of refs.
This was dismissed as inefficient and inelegant.
2) Add option --refs-fd=$n to pass a an fd from where to read the refs.
This was rejected because inheriting descriptors other than
stdin/stdout/stderr through exec() is apparently problematic on Windows,
plus it would require changes to the run-command API to open extra
pipes.
3) Add option --refs-from=$tmpfile to pass the refs using a temp file.
This was not favored because of the temp file requirement.
4) Add option --stdin to pass the refs on stdin, one per line.
In the end this option was chosen as the most efficient and most
desirable from scripting perspective.
There was however a small complication when using stdin to pass refs to
fetch-pack. The --stateless-rpc option to fetch-pack also uses stdin for
communication with the remote server.
If we are going to sneak refs on stdin line by line, it would have to be
done very carefully in the presence of --stateless-rpc, because when
reading refs line by line we might read ahead too much data into our
buffer and eat some of the remote protocol data which is also coming on
stdin.
One way to solve this would be to refactor get_remote_heads() in
fetch-pack.c to accept a residual buffer from our stdin line parsing
above, but this function is used in several places so other callers
would be burdened by this residual buffer interface even when most of
them don't need it.
In the end we settled on the following solution:
If --stdin is specified without --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read
the refs from stdin one per line, in a script friendly format.
However if --stdin is specified together with --stateless-rpc,
fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin in packetized format
(pkt-line) with a flush packet terminating the list of refs. This way we
can read the exact number of bytes that we need from stdin, and then
get_remote_heads() can continue reading from the same fd without losing
a single byte of remote protocol data.
This way the --stdin option only loses generality and scriptability when
used together with --stateless-rpc, which is not easily scriptable
anyway because it also uses pkt-line when talking to the remote server.
