In the longer term, tightening rules is a good thing to do, and
because nobody who has worked in the remote helper area seems to be
interested in reviewing this, I would assume they do not think
such a retroactive tightening will affect their remote helpers. So
let's advance this topic to see what happens.
* fc/remote-testgit-feature-done:
remote-testgit: properly check for errors
A minor consistency check patch that does not have much relevance
to the real world.
* nd/upload-pack-shallow-must-be-commit:
upload-pack: only accept commits from "shallow" line
Output from "git status --ignored" showed an unexpected interaction
with "--untracked".
* ap/status-ignored-in-ignored-directory:
status: always report ignored tracked directories
git-status: Test --ignored behavior
dir.c: Make git-status --ignored more consistent
When user spells "cc:" in lowercase in the fake "header" in the
trailer part, send-email failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this
script should follow suit and treat "cc:" and "Cc:" the same way.
* nz/send-email-headers-are-case-insensitive:
git-send-email: treat field names as case-insensitively
A tar archive created by "git archive" recorded a directory in a
way that made NetBSD's implementation of "tar" sometimes unhappy.
* rs/leave-base-name-in-name-field-of-tar:
archive-tar: split long paths more carefully
When "git clone --separate-git-dir=$over_there" is interrupted, it
failed to remove the real location of the $GIT_DIR it created. This
was most visible when interrupting a submodule update.
* jl/interrupt-clone-remove-separate-git-dir:
clone: support atomic operation with --separate-git-dir
"git merge --no-edit" computed who were involved in the work done
on the side branch, even though that information is to be discarded
without getting seen in the editor.
* jc/maint-fmt-merge-msg-no-edit-lose-credit:
merge --no-edit: do not credit people involved in the side branch
"git apply" misbehaved when fixing whitespace breakages by removing
excess trailing blank lines.
* jc/apply-trailing-blank-removal:
apply.c:update_pre_post_images(): the preimage can be truncated
The behaviour visible to the end users was confusing, when they
attempt to kill a process spawned in the editor that was in turn
launched by Git with SIGINT (or SIGQUIT), as Git would catch that
signal and die. We ignore these signals now.
* pf/editor-ignore-sigint:
fix compilation with NO_PTHREADS
launch_editor: propagate signals from editor to git
run-command: do not warn about child death from terminal
launch_editor: ignore terminal signals while editor has control
launch_editor: refactor to use start/finish_command
run-command: drop silent_exec_failure arg from wait_or_whine
Improve compatibility of our zip output to fill uncompressed size
in the header, which we can do without seeking back (even though it
should not be necessary).
* rs/zip-with-uncompressed-size-in-the-header:
archive-zip: write uncompressed size into header even with streaming
Update zip tests to skip some that cannot be handled on platform
unzip.
* rs/zip-tests:
t5003: check if unzip supports symlinks
t5000, t5003: move ZIP tests into their own script
t0024, t5000: use test_lazy_prereq for UNZIP
t0024, t5000: clear variable UNZIP, use GIT_UNZIP instead
The internal logic had to deal with two representations of a death
of a child process by a signal.
* jk/unify-exit-code-by-receiving-signal:
run-command: encode signal death as a positive integer
Update the disused merge-tree proof-of-concept code.
* jc/merge-blobs:
merge-tree: fix d/f conflicts
merge-tree: add comments to clarify what these functions are doing
merge-tree: lose unused "resolve_directories"
merge-tree: lose unused "flags" from merge_list
Which merge_file() function do you mean?
Teach "format-patch" to prefix v4- to its output files for the
fourth iteration of a patch series, to make it easier for the
submitter to keep separate copies for iterations.
* jc/format-patch-reroll:
format-patch: give --reroll-count a short synonym -v
format-patch: document and test --reroll-count
format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option
get_patch_filename(): split into two functions
get_patch_filename(): drop "just-numbers" hack
get_patch_filename(): simplify function signature
builtin/log.c: stop using global patch_suffix
builtin/log.c: drop redundant "numbered_files" parameter from make_cover_letter()
builtin/log.c: drop unused "numbered" parameter from make_cover_letter()
We have two simple and quick tests to catch common mistakes when
writing test scripts, but we did not run them by default when
running tests.
* jk/enable-test-lint-by-default:
tests: turn on test-lint by default
"git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git
commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit
status of the hook.
* ap/merge-stop-at-prepare-commit-msg-failure:
merge: Honor prepare-commit-msg return code
* jc/submittingpatches:
SubmittingPatches: give list and maintainer addresses
SubmittingPatches: remove overlong checklist
SubmittingPatches: mention subsystems with dedicated repositories
SubmittingPatches: who am I and who cares?
"gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new
activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely nothing
in it early, which was not very useful.
* os/gitweb-highlight-uncaptured:
gitweb: fix error in sanitize when highlight is enabled
When autoconf is used, any build on a different commit always ran
"config.status --recheck" even when unnecessary.
* jn/less-reconfigure:
build: do not automatically reconfigure unless configure.ac changed
When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and
finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error
message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does
not exist there" and moving on.
* jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen:
config: exit on error accessing any config file
doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors
config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok
The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
exclude mechanism does.
* ja/directory-attrs:
Add directory pattern matching to attributes
"git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec with
wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match the
wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the real ref
that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated anyway).
Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch.
* jc/fetch-ignore-symref:
fetch: ignore wildcarded refspecs that update local symbolic refs
The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and
GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system.
* ss/svn-prompt:
git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend and use Git->prompt method for querying users
perl/Git.pm: Honor SSH_ASKPASS as fallback if GIT_ASKPASS is not set
git-svn, perl/Git.pm: add central method for prompting passwords
Earlier, dc87183 (use GIT_CONFIG only in "git config", not other
programs, 2008-06-30) made sure that the environment variable is
never used outside "git config", but "git clone", after creating a
directory for the new repository and until the init_db() function
populates its .git/ directory, exported the variable for no good
reason. No hook will run from init_db() and more importantly no
hook can run until init_db() finishes creation of the new
repository, so it cannot be used by any invocation of "git config"
by definition.
Stop doing the useless export/unexport.

--depth is explained as deepen, but the way it's applied, it can
shorten the history as well. Keen users may have noticed the
implication by the phrase "the specified number of commits from the
tip of each remote branch". Put "shorten" in the description to make
it clearer.

get_shallow_commits() is used to determine the cut points at a given
depth (i.e. the number of commits in a chain that the user likes to
get). However we count current depth up to the commit "commit" but we
do the cutting at its parents (i.e. current depth + 1). This makes
upload-pack always return one commit more than requested. This patch
fixes it.

The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo
now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the
longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some
guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias
for --depth=2147483647.
Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The
effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is
more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom
anymore.
The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits
depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is
probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or
subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually
happens.
(*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can
contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK
with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

Trying to complete the command
git show master:./file
would cause a "Not a valid object name" error to be output on standard
error. Silence the error so it won't appear on the command line.

The --separate-git-dir option was introduced to make it simple to put
the git directory somewhere outside the worktree, for example when
cloning a repository for use as a submodule.
It was not intended for use when creating a bare repository. In that
case there is no worktree and it is more natural to directly clone the
repository and create a .git file as separate steps:
git clone --bare /path/to/repo.git bar.git
printf 'gitdir: bar.git\n' >foo.git
Forbid the combination, making the command easier to explain.

Rely on the upstream filetype.vim instead of duplicating its rules in
git's instructions for syntax highlighting support on pre-7.2 vim
versions.
The result is a shorter contrib/vim/README. More importantly, it lets
us punt on maintenance of the autocmd rules.
So now when we fix the upstream gitsendemail rule in light of commit
eed6ca7, new git users stuck on old vim reading contrib/vim/README can
automagically get the fix without any further changes needed to git.
Once the world has moved on to vim 7.2+ completely, we can get rid of
these instructions, but for now if they are this simple it's
effortless to keep them.
