"git instaweb" has been adjusted to run better with newer Apache on
RedHat based distros.
* sk/instaweb-rh-update:
git-instaweb: fix apache2 config with apache >= 2.4
git-instaweb: support Fedora/Red Hat apache module path
Test fixes.
* en/t7406-fixes:
t7406: avoid using test_must_fail for commands other than git
t7406: prefer test_* helper functions to test -[feds]
t7406: avoid having git commands upstream of a pipe
t7406: simplify by using diff --name-only instead of diff --raw
t7406: fix call that was failing for the wrong reason
The "--exec" option to "git rebase --rebase-merges" placed the exec
commands at wrong places, which has been corrected.
* js/rebase-merges-exec-fix:
rebase --exec: make it work with --rebase-merges
t3430: demonstrate what -r, --autosquash & --exec should do
Documentation update.
* ab/newhash-is-sha256:
doc hash-function-transition: pick SHA-256 as NewHash
doc hash-function-transition: note the lack of a changelog
"git pull --rebase=interactive" learned "i" as a short-hand for
"interactive".
* js/pull-rebase-type-shorthand:
pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations for the type
The end result of documentation update has been made to be
inspected more easily to help developers.
* jk/diff-rendered-docs:
add a script to diff rendered documentation
"git merge --abort" etc. did not clean things up properly when
there were conflicted entries in the index in certain order that
are involved in D/F conflicts. This has been corrected.
* en/abort-df-conflict-fixes:
read-cache: fix directory/file conflict handling in read_index_unmerged()
t1015: demonstrate directory/file conflict recovery failures
The http-backend (used for smart-http transport) used to slurp the
whole input until EOF, without paying attention to CONTENT_LENGTH
that is supplied in the environment and instead expecting the Web
server to close the input stream. This has been fixed.
* mk/http-backend-content-length:
t5562: avoid non-portable "export FOO=bar" construct
http-backend: respect CONTENT_LENGTH for receive-pack
http-backend: respect CONTENT_LENGTH as specified by rfc3875
http-backend: cleanup writing to child process
A few atoms like %(objecttype) and %(objectsize) in the format
specifier of "for-each-ref --format=<format>" can be filled without
getting the full contents of the object, but just with the object
header. These cases have been optimized by calling
oid_object_info() API (instead of reading and inspecting the data).
* ot/ref-filter-object-info:
ref-filter: use oid_object_info() to get object
ref-filter: merge get_obj and get_object
ref-filter: initialize eaten variable
ref-filter: fill empty fields with empty values
ref-filter: add info_source to valid_atom
Noiseword "extern" has been removed from function decls in the
header files.
* nd/no-extern:
submodule.h: drop extern from function declaration
revision.h: drop extern from function declaration
repository.h: drop extern from function declaration
rerere.h: drop extern from function declaration
line-range.h: drop extern from function declaration
diff.h: remove extern from function declaration
diffcore.h: drop extern from function declaration
convert.h: drop 'extern' from function declaration
cache-tree.h: drop extern from function declaration
blame.h: drop extern on func declaration
attr.h: drop extern from function declaration
apply.h: drop extern on func declaration
The parse-options machinery learned to refrain from enclosing
placeholder string inside a "<bra" and "ket>" pair automatically
without PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP. Existing help text for option
arguments that are not formatted correctly have been identified and
fixed.
* rs/parse-opt-lithelp:
parse-options: automatically infer PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP
shortlog: correct option help for -w
send-pack: specify --force-with-lease argument help explicitly
pack-objects: specify --index-version argument help explicitly
difftool: remove angular brackets from argument help
add, update-index: fix --chmod argument help
push: use PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP instead of unbalanced brackets
Update to a few other topics around 'git fetch'.
* ab/fetch-nego:
fetch doc: cross-link two new negotiation options
negotiator: unknown fetch.negotiationAlgorithm should error out
"git fetch $there refs/heads/s" ought to fetch the tip of the
branch 's', but when "refs/heads/refs/heads/s", i.e. a branch whose
name is "refs/heads/s" exists at the same time, fetched that one
instead by mistake. This has been corrected to honor the usual
disambiguation rules for abbreviated refnames.
* jt/refspec-dwim-precedence-fix:
remote: make refspec follow the same disambiguation rule as local refs
The automatic tree-matching in "git merge -s subtree" was broken 5
years ago and nobody has noticed since then, which is now fixed.
* jk/merge-subtree-heuristics:
score_trees(): fix iteration over trees with missing entries
The test performed at the receiving end of "git push" to prevent
bad objects from entering repository can be customized via
receive.fsck.* configuration variables; we now have gained a
counterpart to do the same on the "git fetch" side, with
fetch.fsck.* configuration variables.
* ab/fsck-transfer-updates:
fsck: test and document unknown fsck.<msg-id> values
fsck: add stress tests for fsck.skipList
fsck: test & document {fetch,receive}.fsck.* config fallback
fetch: implement fetch.fsck.*
transfer.fsckObjects tests: untangle confusing setup
config doc: elaborate on fetch.fsckObjects security
config doc: elaborate on what transfer.fsckObjects does
config doc: unify the description of fsck.* and receive.fsck.*
config doc: don't describe *.fetchObjects twice
receive.fsck.<msg-id> tests: remove dead code
"git fetch" sometimes failed to update the remote-tracking refs,
which has been corrected.
* jt/connectivity-check-after-unshallow:
fetch-pack: unify ref in and out param
The Travis CI scripts were taught to ship back the test data from
failed tests.
* sg/travis-retrieve-trash-upon-failure:
travis-ci: include the trash directories of failed tests in the trace log
"git p4 submit" learns to ask its own pre-submit hook if it should
continue with submitting.
* cb/p4-pre-submit-hook:
git-p4: add the `p4-pre-submit` hook
Add a script (in contrib/) to help users of VSCode work better with
our codebase.
* js/vscode:
vscode: let cSpell work on commit messages, too
vscode: add a dictionary for cSpell
vscode: use 8-space tabs, no trailing ws, etc for Git's source code
vscode: wrap commit messages at column 72 by default
vscode: only overwrite C/C++ settings
mingw: define WIN32 explicitly
cache.h: extract enum declaration from inside a struct declaration
vscode: hard-code a couple defines
contrib: add a script to initialize VS Code configuration
It is too easy to misuse system API functions such as strcat();
these selected functions are now forbidden in this codebase and
will cause a compilation failure.
* jk/banned-function:
banned.h: mark strncpy() as banned
banned.h: mark sprintf() as banned
banned.h: mark strcat() as banned
automatically ban strcpy()
When the sparse checkout feature is in use, "git cherry-pick" and
other mergy operations lost the skip_worktree bit when a path that
is excluded from checkout requires content level merge, which is
resolved as the same as the HEAD version, without materializing the
merge result in the working tree, which made the path appear as
deleted. This has been corrected by preserving the skip_worktree
bit (and not materializing the file in the working tree).
* en/merge-recursive-skip-fix:
merge-recursive: preserve skip_worktree bit when necessary
t3507: add a testcase showing failure with sparse checkout
The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to
limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git
fetch $remote branch:branch" that asks tags that point into the
history leading to the "branch" automatically followed sent to
narrow prefix and broke the tag following, which has been fixed.
* jt/tag-following-with-proto-v2-fix:
fetch: send "refs/tags/" prefix upon CLI refspecs
t5702: test fetch with multiple refspecs at a time
Code clean-up to use size_t/ssize_t when they are the right type.
* jk/size-t:
strbuf_humanise: use unsigned variables
pass st.st_size as hint for strbuf_readlink()
strbuf_readlink: use ssize_t
strbuf: use size_t for length in intermediate variables
reencode_string: use size_t for string lengths
reencode_string: use st_add/st_mult helpers
Update the way we use Coccinelle to find out-of-style code that
need to be modernised.
* sg/coccicheck-updates:
coccinelle: extract dedicated make target to clean Coccinelle's results
coccinelle: put sane filenames into output patches
coccinelle: exclude sha1dc source files from static analysis
coccinelle: use $(addsuffix) in 'coccicheck' make target
coccinelle: mark the 'coccicheck' make target as .PHONY
"git diff --histogram" had a bad memory usage pattern, which has
been rearranged to reduce the peak usage.
* sb/histogram-less-memory:
xdiff/histogram: remove tail recursion
xdiff/xhistogram: move index allocation into find_lcs
xdiff/xhistogram: factor out memory cleanup into free_index()
xdiff/xhistogram: pass arguments directly to fall_back_to_classic_diff
Many more strings are prepared for l10n.

Teach "git tag -s" etc. a few configuration variables (gpg.format
that can be set to "openpgp" or "x509", and gpg.<format>.program
that is used to specify what program to use to deal with the format)
to allow x.509 certs with CMS via "gpgsm" to be used instead of
openpgp via "gnupg".
* hs/gpgsm:
gpg-interface t: extend the existing GPG tests with GPGSM
gpg-interface: introduce new signature format "x509" using gpgsm
gpg-interface: introduce new config to select per gpg format program
gpg-interface: do not hardcode the key string len anymore
gpg-interface: introduce an abstraction for multiple gpg formats
t/t7510: check the validation of the new config gpg.format
gpg-interface: add new config to select how to sign a commit
The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to
limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git
clone" when learned to speak v2 forgot to do so, which has been
corrected.
* bw/clone-ref-prefixes:
clone: send ref-prefixes when using protocol v2
A new configuration variable core.usereplacerefs has been added,
primarily to help server installations that want to ignore the
replace mechanism altogether.
* jk/core-use-replace-refs:
add core.usereplacerefs config option
check_replace_refs: rename to read_replace_refs
check_replace_refs: fix outdated comment
