On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
$ git diff
^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m

^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m

^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in

Two packfiles that contain the same set of objects have
traditionally been named identically, but that made repacking a

Make "git push origin master" update the same ref that would be
updated by our 'master' when "git push origin" (no refspecs) is run
while the 'master' branch is checked out, which makes "git push"
more symmetric to "git fetch" and more usable for the triangular
workflow.
* jc/push-refmap:
push: also use "upstream" mapping when pushing a single ref
push: use remote.$name.push as a refmap
builtin/push.c: use strbuf instead of manual allocation
It can be useful for debugging or analysis to see which
objects are stored as delta bases on top of others. This
information is available by running `git verify-pack`, but
that is extremely expensive (and is harder than necessary to
parse).

which makes it fast and simple to get the bases for a subset
of the objects.

The BFG is a tool specifically designed for the task of removing
unwanted data from Git repository history - a common use-case for which
git-filter-branch has been the traditional workhorse.
It's beneficial to let users know that filter-branch has an alternative
here:
* speed : The BFG is 10-50x faster
http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#speed
* complexity of configuration : filter-branch is a very flexible tool,
but demands very careful usage in order to get the desired results
http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#examples
Obviously, filter-branch has it's advantages too - it permits very
complex rewrites, and doesn't require a JVM - but for the common
use-case of deleting unwanted data, it's helpful to users to be aware
that an alternative exists.
The BFG was released under the GPL in February 2013, and has since seen
widespread production use (The Guardian, RedHat, Google, UK Government
Digital Service), been tested against large repos (~300K commits, ~5GB
packfiles) and received significant positive feedback from users:

The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.
This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote

The basic 8 steps to update .git/shallow does not fully apply here
because the user may choose to accept just a few refs (while fetch
always accepts all refs). The steps are modified a bit.
1-6. same as before. After calling assign_shallow_commits_to_refs at
step 6, each shallow commit has a bitmap that marks all refs that
require it.
7. mark all "ours" shallow commits that are reachable from any
refs. We will need to do the original step 7 on them later.
8. go over all shallow commit bitmaps, mark refs that require new
shallow commits.
9. setup a strict temporary shallow file to plug all the holes, even
if it may cut some of our history short. This file is used by all
hooks. The hooks could use --shallow-file=$GIT_DIR/shallow to
overcome this and reach everything in current repo.
10. go over the new refs one by one. For each ref, do the reachability
test if it needs a shallow commit on the list from step 7. Remove
it if it's reachable from our refs. Gather all required shallow
commits, run check_everything_connected() with the new ref, then
install them to .git/shallow.

When "fetch --depth=N" where N exceeds the longest chain of history in

When the source repo is shallow we need to make sure to "unshallow"

reaches its shallow bottom in the source repo.

If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow
repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref
advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has
the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for
the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary.
This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow
repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as
today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and
upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and
can make use of this information.
The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the
following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary.
upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if
it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no
shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the
cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it.
Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on
smart-http comes later separately.
(*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision
walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the
revision walker from going out of bound because there is no
guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

Commit 15a147e (rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified,

Make it default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what
'git pull [--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that
'git rebase' defaults to the same thing.
but that isn't actually the case. Since commit d44e712 (pull: support
rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19), pull has actually
chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current
branch if it can find one.
Add a '--fork-point' argument to git-rebase that can be used to trigger
this behaviour. This option is turned on by default if no non-option
arguments are specified on the command line, otherwise we treat an

Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the
command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping
it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs. This allows
$ git fetch origin master
from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the
command line were
$ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master
to reduce surprises and improve usability. Before that change, a
refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the
history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the
remote-tracking branches.
When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a
push by you into your mothership, instead of having:
[remote "satellite"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
on the mothership repository and running:
mothership$ git fetch satellite
you would have:
[remote "mothership"]
push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
on your satellite machine, and run:
satellite$ git push mothership
Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push
side, this command:
satellite$ git push mothership master
does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but
still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master).
Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the
command line via the remote.$name.push refspec. This will bring a
bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".

git-cherry(1)'s "description" section has never really managed
to explain to me what the command does. It contains too much
explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what
goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise
do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base).
Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why
this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short
paragraphs. In return, provide much longer examples of how it
fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it
compares to reading the same from git-log.
Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does
not mean something that comes from git-merge(1). Instead, say
"apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow
concepts.
While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream
