2233ad4534 Merge branch 'jc/push-cas'
Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.

The machinery is more or less ready.  The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).

The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily).  It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

  push: teach --force-with-lease to smart-http transport
  send-pack: fix parsing of --force-with-lease option
  t5540/5541: smart-http does not support "--force-with-lease"

a5e10f8bc1 Merge branch 'ms/fetch-prune-configuration'
Allow fetch.prune and remote.*.prune configuration variables to be set,
and "git fetch" to behave as if "--prune" is given.

"git fetch" that honors remote.*.prune is fine, but I wonder if we
should somehow make "git push" aware of it as well.  Perhaps
remote.*.prune should not be just a boolean, but a 4-way "none",
"push", "fetch", "both"?

* ms/fetch-prune-configuration:
  fetch: make --prune configurable

115dedd722 upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds
There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default.
They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than
the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case
that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send
a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing
progress and resetting the keepalive timer.

We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a
reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of
5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer
our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive
packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider
the connection hung.

05e95155a1 upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation
When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet
period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects
and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the
client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect,
pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is
ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even
minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed).
Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this
situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung.

This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no
data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send
an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are
still working on it.

44e1e4d67d git: run in a directory given with -C option
This is similar in spirit to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...".

It takes more keypresses to invoke git command in a different
directory without leaving the current directory:

    1. (cd ~/foo && git status)
       git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status
       GIT_DIR=~/foo/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=~/foo git status
    2. (cd ../..; git grep foo)
    3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done

The methods shown above are acceptable for scripting but are too
cumbersome for quick command line invocations.

With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes:

    1. git -C ~/foo status
    2. git -C ../.. grep foo
    3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done

A new test script is added to verify the behavior of this option with
other path-related options like --git-dir and --work-tree.

prefer a "link" to point to an HTML file instead of a text file if an HTML
version of the file is being generated. For RelNotes, keep pointing to

If appropriate, also update the link description to not contain the linked

2556b9962e status: disable display of '#' comment prefix by default
Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.

Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.

Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

66713ef3b0 pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasing
If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.

This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.

Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.

Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

75aa26d34c peel_onion(): add support for <rev>^{tag}
Complete the <rev>^{<type>} family of object descriptors by having
<rev>^{tag} dereference <rev> until a tag object is found (or fail if
unable).

At first glance this may not seem very useful, as commits, trees, and
blobs cannot be peeled to a tag, and a tag would just peel to itself.
However, this can be used to ensure that <rev> names a tag object:

    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.4^{tag}
    04f013dc38d7512eadb915eba22efc414f18b869
    $ git rev-parse --verify master^{tag}
    error: master^{tag}: expected tag type, but the object dereferences to tree type
    fatal: Needed a single revision

Users can already ensure that <rev> is a tag object by checking the
output of 'git cat-file -t <rev>', but:
  * users may expect <rev>^{tag} to exist given that <rev>^{commit},
    <rev>^{tree}, and <rev>^{blob} all exist
  * this syntax is more convenient/natural in some circumstances

52f425e1a9 whatchanged: document its historical nature
Encourage new users to use 'log' instead.  These days, these
commands are unified and just have different defaults.

'git log' only allowed you to view the log messages and no diffs
when it was added in early June 2005.  It was only in early April
2006 that the command learned to take diff options.  Because of
this, power users tended to use 'whatchanged' that already existed
since mid May 2005 and supported diff options.

627a8b8dcd core-tutorial: trim the section on Inspecting Changes
Back when the core tutorial was written, `log` and `whatchanged`
were scripted Porcelains.  In the "Inspecting Changes" section that
talks about the plumbing commands in the diff family, it made sense
to use `log` and `whatchanged` as good examples of the use of these
plumbing commands, and because even these scripted Porcelains were
novelty (there wasn't the new end-user tutorial written), it made
some sense to illustrate uses of the `git log` (and `git
whatchanged`) scripted Porcelain commands.

But we no longer have scripted `log` and `whatchanged` to serve as
examples, and this document is not where the end users learn what
`git log` command is about.  Stop at briefly mentioning the
possibility of combining rev-list with diff-tree to build your own
log, and leave the end-user documentation of `log` to the new
tutorial and the user manual.

Also resurrect the last version of `git-log`, `git-whatchanged`, and
`git-show` to serve as examples to contrib/examples/ directory.

While at it, remove 'whatchanged' from a list of sample commands
that are affected by GIT_FLUSH environment variable. This is not
meant to be an exhaustive list but as a list of typical ones, and an
old command that is kept primarily for backward compatibility does
not belong to it.

95c16418f0 rm: delete .gitmodules entry of submodules removed from the work tree
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule removes the submodule's work tree
from that of the superproject and the gitlink from the index. But the
submodule's section in .gitmodules is left untouched, which is a leftover
of the now removed submodule and might irritate users (as opposed to the
setting in .git/config, this must stay as a reminder that the user showed
interest in this submodule so it will be repopulated later when an older
commit is checked out).

Let "git rm" help the user by not only removing the submodule from the
work tree but by also removing the "submodule.<submodule name>" section
from the .gitmodules file and stage both. This doesn't happen when the
"--cached" option is used, as it would modify the work tree. This also
silently does nothing when no .gitmodules file is found and only issues a
warning when it doesn't have a section for this submodule. This is because
the user might just use plain gitlinks without the .gitmodules file or has
already removed the section by hand before issuing the "git rm" command
(in which case the warning reminds him that rm would have done that for
him). Only when .gitmodules is found and contains merge conflicts the rm
command will fail and tell the user to resolve the conflict before trying
again.

Also extend the man page to inform the user about this new feature. While
at it promote the submodule sub-section to a chapter as it made not much
sense under "REMOVING FILES THAT HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE FILESYSTEM".

In t7610 three uses of "git rm submod" had to be replaced with "git rm
--cached submod" because that test expects .gitmodules and the work tree
to stay untouched. Also in t7400 the tests for the remaining settings in
the .gitmodules file had to be changed to assert that these settings are
missing.

0656781fad mv: update the path entry in .gitmodules for moved submodules
Currently using "git mv" on a submodule moves the submodule's work tree in
that of the superproject. But the submodule's path setting in .gitmodules
is left untouched, which is now inconsistent with the work tree and makes
git commands that rely on the proper path -> name mapping (like status and
diff) behave strangely.

Let "git mv" help here by not only moving the submodule's work tree but
also updating the "submodule.<submodule name>.path" setting from the
.gitmodules file and stage both. This doesn't happen when no .gitmodules
file is found and only issues a warning when it doesn't have a section for
this submodule. This is because the user might just use plain gitlinks
without the .gitmodules file or has already updated the path setting by
hand before issuing the "git mv" command (in which case the warning
reminds him that mv would have done that for him). Only when .gitmodules

Using the same urlmatch_config_entry() infrastructure, add a new
mode "--get-urlmatch" to the "git config" command, to learn values
for the "virtual" two-level variables customized for the specific
URL.

    git config [--<type>] --get-urlmatch <section>[.<key>] <url>

With <section>.<key> fully specified, the configuration data for
<section>.<urlpattern>.<key> for <urlpattern> that best matches the
given <url> is sought (and if not found, <section>.<key> is used)
and reported.  For example, with this configuration:

    [http]
        sslVerify
    [http "https://weak.example.com"]
        cookieFile = /tmp/cookie.txt
        sslVerify = false

You would get

    $ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://good.example.com
    true
    $ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://weak.example.com
    false

With only <section> specified, you can get a list of all variables
in the section with their values that apply to the given URL.  E.g

    $ git config --get-urlmatch http https://weak.example.com
    http.cookiefile /tmp/cookie.txt
    http.sslverify false

The documentation of log doesn't even talk about --quiet, so I'll leave
that for more experienced git contributors. ;)
It doesn't seem to change the default behavior, but in combination
with --stat for example it suppresses the actual stats.
however the only relevant code in log is

97be04077f cat-file: only split on whitespace when %(rest) is used
Commit c334b87b (cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace,
2013-07-11) taught `cat-file --batch-check` to split input lines on
the first whitespace, and stash everything after the first token
into the %(rest) output format element.  It claimed:

   Object names cannot contain spaces, so any input with
   spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line.

But that is not correct.  Refs, object sha1s, and various peeling
suffixes cannot contain spaces, but some object names can. In
particular:

  1. Tree paths like "[<tree>]:path with whitespace"

  2. Reflog specifications like "@{2 days ago}"

  3. Commit searches like "rev^{/grep me}" or ":/grep me"

To remain backwards compatible, we cannot split on whitespace by
default, hence we will ship 1.8.4 with the commit reverted.

Resurrect its attempt but in a weaker form; only do the splitting
when "%(rest)" is used in the output format. Since that element did
not exist at all before c334b87, old scripts cannot be affected.

The existence of object names with spaces does mean that you
cannot reliably do:

  echo ":path with space and other data" |
  git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectname) %(rest)"

as it would split the path and feed only ":path" to get_sha1. But
that command is nonsensical. If you wanted to see "and other data"
in "%(rest)", git cannot possibly know where the filename ends and
the "rest" begins.

It might be more robust to have something like "-z" to separate the
input elements. But this patch is still a reasonable step before
having that.  It makes the easy cases easy; people who do not care
about %(rest) do not have to consider it, and the %(rest) code
handles the spaces and newlines of "rev-list --objects" correctly.

Hard cases remain hard but possible (if you might get whitespace in
your input, you do not get to use %(rest) and must split and join
the output yourself using more flexible tools). And most
importantly, it does not preclude us from having different splitting
rules later if a "-z" (or similar) option is added.  So we can make
the hard cases easier later, if we choose to.

a88c915de9 mv: move submodules using a gitfile
When moving a submodule which uses a gitfile to point to the git directory
stored in .git/modules/<name> of the superproject two changes must be made
to make the submodule work: the .git file and the core.worktree setting
must be adjusted to point from work tree to git directory and back.

Achieve that by remembering which submodule uses a gitfile by storing the
result of read_gitfile() of each submodule. If that is not NULL the new
function connect_work_tree_and_git_dir() is called after renaming the
submodule's work tree which updates the two settings to the new values.

Extend the man page to inform the user about that feature (and while at it
change the description to not talk about a script anymore, as mv is a
builtin for quite some time now).

5ff0c0e875 config doc: quote paths, fixing tilde-interpretation
The --global section of git-config(1) currently reads like:

  For writing options: write to global /.gitconfig file rather than the
                                       ^
				       start tilde

  repository .git/config, write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file if
  this file exists and the/.gitconfig file doesn’t.
                          ^
			  end tilde

Instead of tilde (~) being interpreted literally, asciidoc subscripts
the text between the two tildes.  To fix this problem, use backticks (`)
to quote all the paths in the file uniformly, just like config.txt does.

28f5d17611 remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease"
Update "git push" and "git send-pack" to parse this commnd line
option.

The intended sematics is:

 * "--force-with-lease" alone, without specifying the details, will
   protect _all_ remote refs that are going to be updated by
   requiring their current value to be the same as some reasonable
   default, unless otherwise specified;

 * "--force-with-lease=refname", without specifying the expected
   value, will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated,
   by requiring its current value to be the same as some reasonable
   default.

 * "--force-with-lease=refname:value" will protect that refname, if
   it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be
   the same as the specified value; and

 * "--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the
   command line.

For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the
value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the
remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a
remote-tracking branch.  But this is known to be fragile, its use is
not yet recommended, and hopefully we will find more reasonable
default as we gain experience with this feature.  The manual marks
the feature as experimental unless the expected value is specified
explicitly for this reason.

Because the command line options are parsed _before_ we know which
remote we are pushing to, there needs further processing to the
parsed data after we instantiate the transport object to:

 * expand "refname" given by the user to a full refname to be
   matched with the list of "struct ref" used in match_push_refs()
   and set_ref_status_for_push(); and

 * learning the actual local ref that is the remote-tracking branch
   for the specified remote ref.

Further, some processing need to be deferred until we find the set
of remote refs and match_push_refs() returns in order to find the
ones that need to be checked after explicit ones have been processed
for "--force-with-lease" (no specific details).

These post-processing will be the topic of the next patch.

This option was originally called "cas" (for "compare and swap"),
the name which nobody liked because it was too technical.  The
second attempt called it "lockref" (because it is conceptually like
pushing after taking a lock) but the word "lock" was hated because
it implied that it may reject push by others, which is not the way
this option works.  This round calls it "force-with-lease".  You
assume you took the lease on the ref when you fetched to decide what
the rebased history should be, and you can push back only if the
lease has not been broken.

35035bbf07 send-email: be explicit with SSL certificate verification
When initiating an SSL connection without explicitly specifying the
SSL certificate verification mode, Net::SMTP::SSL defaults to no
verification, but recent versions of the module gives a warning
against this use of the default.

Enable certificate verification by default, using /etc/ssl/certs as
the default path for certificates of certificate authorities.  This
path can be overriden by the --smtp-ssl-cert-path command line
option and the sendemail.smtpSSLCertPath configuration variable.

Passing an empty string as the path for CA certificates path disables
the SSL certificate verification explicitly, which does not trigger
the warning from recent versions of Net::SMTP::SSL.

737c5a9cde fetch: make --prune configurable
Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever.  Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".

To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":

 - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.

 - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.

The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.

Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

f66450ae94 cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.

Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

e6d2b9f6e7 blame-options.txt: place each -L option variation on its own line
Standard practice in Git documentation is for each variation of an
option (such as: -p / --porcelain) to be placed on its own line in the
OPTIONS table. The -L option does not follow suit. It cuddles
"-L <start>,<end>" and "-L :<regex>", separated by a comma. This is
inconsistent and potentially confusing since the comma separating them
is typeset the same as the comma in "<start>,<end>". Fix this by placing
each variation on its own line.

bd30c2e484 pathspec: support :(glob) syntax
:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with
WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The
difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed.

With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global
options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can:

 - make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs
   --literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it
   disables _all_ pathspec magic.

 - individually turn on globbing with :(glob)

 - make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs

 - individually turn off globbing with :(literal)

The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default
matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get
new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered
deprecated and discouraged to use.

87323bdace add parse_pathspec() that converts cmdline args to struct pathspec
Currently to fill a struct pathspec, we do:

   const char **paths;
   paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv);
   ...
   init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths);

"paths" can only carry bare strings, which loses information from
command line arguments such as pathspec magic or the prefix part's
length for each argument.

parse_pathspec() is introduced to combine the two calls into one. The
plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with
parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of
parse_pathspec().

parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that
it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can
enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no
problem with the new magic.

"flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to
pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing
literal pathspec when no magic is used.

With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions
that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and
parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be
reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in
favor of parse_pathspec().

dacd2bcc41 git-clone.txt: remove the restriction on pushing from a shallow clone
The document says one cannot push from a shallow clone. But that is
not true (maybe it was at some point in the past). The client does not
stop such a push nor does it give any indication to the receiver that
this is a shallow push. If the receiver accepts it, it's in.

Since 52fed6e (receive-pack: check connectivity before concluding "git
push" - 2011-09-02), receive-pack is prepared to deal with broken
push, a shallow push can't cause any corruption. Update the document
to reflect that.

c334b87b30 cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace
If we get an input line to --batch or --batch-check that
looks like "HEAD foo bar", we will currently feed the whole
thing to get_sha1(). This means that to use --batch-check
with `rev-list --objects`, one must pre-process the input,
like:

  git rev-list --objects HEAD |
  cut -d' ' -f1 |
  git cat-file --batch-check

Besides being more typing and slightly less efficient to
invoke `cut`, the result loses information: we no longer
know which path each object was found at.

This patch teaches cat-file to split input lines at the
first whitespace. Everything to the left of the whitespace
is considered an object name, and everything to the right is
made available as the %(reset) atom. So you can now do:

  git rev-list --objects HEAD |
  git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize) %(rest)'

to collect object sizes at particular paths.

Even if %(rest) is not used, we always do the whitespace
split (which means you can simply eliminate the `cut`
command from the first example above).

This whitespace split is backwards compatible for any
reasonable input. Object names cannot contain spaces, so any
input with spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line.
The only input hurt is if somebody really expected input of
the form "HEAD is a fine-looking ref!" to fail; it will now
parse HEAD, and make "is a fine-looking ref!" available as
%(rest).

a4ac106178 cat-file: add %(objectsize:disk) format atom
This atom is just like %(objectsize), except that it shows
the on-disk size of the object rather than the object's true
size. In other words, it makes the "disk_size" query of
sha1_object_info_extended available via the command-line.

This can be used for rough attribution of disk usage to
particular refs, though see the caveats in the
documentation.

This patch does not include any tests, as the exact numbers
returned are volatile and subject to zlib and packing
decisions. We cannot even reliably guarantee that the
on-disk size is smaller than the object content (though in
general this should be the case for non-trivial objects).

93d2a607ba cat-file: add --batch-check=<format>
The `cat-file --batch-check` command can be used to quickly
get information about a large number of objects. However, it
provides a fixed set of information.

This patch adds an optional <format> option to --batch-check
to allow a caller to specify which items they are interested
in, and in which order to output them. This is not very
exciting for now, since we provide the same limited set that
you could already get. However, it opens the door to adding
new format items in the future without breaking backwards
compatibility (or forcing callers to pay the cost to
calculate uninteresting items).

Since the --batch option shares code with --batch-check, it
receives the same feature, though it is less likely to be of
interest there.

The format atom names are chosen to match their counterparts
in for-each-ref. Though we do not (yet) share any code with
for-each-ref's formatter, this keeps the interface as
consistent as possible, and may help later on if the
implementations are unified.

3b8d2765c7 Merge branch 'jc/triangle-push-fixup'
Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from.  This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.

The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.

. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
  remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
  integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.

. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
  will be the safe default in Git 2.0.

  In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
  between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
  branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
  current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
  the central repository).

  In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
  the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid
  surprises in some way.
