The environment variable GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT is set to the number of
push options sent, and GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} is set to the transmitted
option.
The code is not executed as the push options are set to NULL, nor is the
new capability advertised.
There was some discussion back and forth how to present these push options
to the user as there are some ways to do it:
Keep all options in one environment variable
============================================
+ easiest way to implement in Git
- This would make things hard to parse correctly in the hook.
Put the options in files instead,
filenames are in GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES
======================================
+ After a discussion about environment variables and shells, we may not
want to put user data into an environment variable (see [1] for example).
+ We could transmit binaries, i.e. we're not bound to C strings as
we are when using environment variables to the user.
+ Maybe easier to parse than constructing environment variable names
GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} yourself
- cleanup of the temporary files is hard to do reliably
- we have race conditions with multiple clients pushing, hence we'd need
to use mkstemp. That's not too bad, but still.
Use environment variables, but restrict to key/value pairs
==========================================================
(When the user pushes a push option `foo=bar`, we'd
GIT_PUSH_OPTION_foo=bar)
+ very easy to parse for a simple model of push options
- it's not sufficient for more elaborate models, e.g.
it doesn't allow doubles (e.g. cc=reviewer@email)
Present the options in different environment variables
======================================================
(This is implemented)
* harder to parse as a user, but we have a sample hook for that.
- doesn't allow binary files
+ allows the same option twice, i.e. is not restrictive about
options, except for binary files.
+ doesn't clutter a remote directory with (possibly stale)
temporary files
As we first want to focus on getting simple strings to work
reliably, we go with the last option for now. If we want to
do transmission of binaries later, we can just attach a
'side-channel', e.g. "any push option that contains a '\0' is
put into a file instead of the environment variable and we'd
have new GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES, GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILENAME_{0,1,..}
environment variables".

In v2.9.0, we prematurely flipped the default to force cloning
submodules shallowly, when the superproject is getting cloned
shallowly. This is likely to fail when the upstream repositories
submodules are cloned from a repository that is not prepared to
serve histories that ends at a commit that is not at the tip of a
branch, and we know the world is not yet ready.
Use a safer default to clone the submodules fully, unless the user
tells us that she knows that the upstream repository of the
submodules are willing to cooperate with "--shallow-submodules"
option.

If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").
With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by
git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>",
which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than
"<when>", and drop any older ones.
This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because
"<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not
drop any new objects that are about to be referenced.
However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that
a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that
process were to take care to update the timestamp on the
object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running
"repack" process.
So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop
an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you
do automated repacking on a large number of active
repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a
corrupted repository.
It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's
complicated. In the meantime, there is a much simpler
strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop
objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable"
option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through
from git-repack.
Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at
this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own
advanced repository maintenance strategy.

There are two types of string_lists: those that own the
string memory, and those that don't. You can tell the
difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use
either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an
initializer.
Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has
corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no
initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that
case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to
remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually
have each site declare which type it means to use.
This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site
was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

There's no need for these option variables to be static,
except that they are referenced by the options array itself,
which is static. But having all of this static is simply
unnecessary and confusing (and inconsistent with most other
commands, which either use a static global option list or a
true function-local one).
Note that in some cases we may need to actually initialize
the variables (since we cannot rely on BSS to do so). This
is a net improvement to readability, though, as we can use
the more verbose initializers for our string_lists.

This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.
Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.
This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.
"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

You can ask rev-list to use bitmaps to speed up an --objects
traversal, which should generally give you your answers much
faster.
Likewise, you can ask rev-list to limit such a traversal
with `-n`, in which case we'll show only a limited set of
commits (and only the tree and commit objects directly
reachable from those commits).
But if you do both together, the results are nonsensical. We
end up limiting any fallback traversal we do to _find_ the
bitmaps, but the actual set of objects we output will be
picked arbitrarily from the union of any bitmaps we do find,
and will involve the objects of many more commits.
It's possible that somebody might want this as a "show me
what you can, but limit the amount of work you do" flag.
But as with the prior commit clamping "--count", the results
are basically non-deterministic; you'll get the values from
some commits between `n` and the total number, and you can't
tell which.
And unlike the `--count` case, we can't easily generate the
"real" value from the bitmap values (you can't just walk
back `-n` commits and subtract out the reachable objects
from the boundary commits; the bitmaps for `X` record its
total reachability, so you don't know which objects are
directly from `X` itself, which from `X^`, and so on).
So let's just fallback to the non-bitmap code path in this
case, so we always give a sane answer.

If you ask rev-list for:
git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD
we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the
number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster,
which is good.
But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like:
git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD
we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On
the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked
to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the
real answer, so we gave it to you.
But there's something much more complicated going on under
the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then
we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a
bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our
`-n` count.
This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to
do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for
`-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might
get many values:
- your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a
bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits)
- the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for
every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit
- any number in between! We might have walked back and
found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal
early with some commits not accounted for in the result.
So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say
"OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count".
The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a
maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the
exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not.
The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`.
Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we
do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the
partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an
actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work.
I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because
it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the
full-count case, which we do cover.
