One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one
branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now
reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.

* jk/format-patch-from:
format-patch: print in-body "From" only when needed
Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option,
which places the author ident into an in-body from header,
and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The
documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header
when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never
implemented that behavior.
This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents
and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same
as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by
definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it
reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches
your particular workflow), rather than only using it when
exporting other people's patches.

Each caller of sha1_object_info_extended sets up an
object_info struct to tell the function which elements of
the object it wants to get. Until now, getting the type of
the object has always been required (and it is returned via
the return type rather than a pointer in object_info).
This can involve actually opening a loose object file to
determine its type, or following delta chains to determine a
packed file's base type. These effects produce a measurable
slow-down when doing a "cat-file --batch-check" that does
not include %(objecttype).
This patch adds a "typep" query to struct object_info, so
that it can be optionally queried just like size and
disk_size. As a result, the return type of the function is
no longer the object type, but rather 0/-1 for success/error.
As there are only three callers total, we just fix up each
caller rather than keep a compatibility wrapper:
1. The simpler sha1_object_info wrapper continues to
always ask for and return the type field.
2. The istream_source function wants to know the type, and
so always asks for it.
3. The cat-file batch code asks for the type only when
%(objecttype) is part of the format string.
On linux.git, the best-of-five for running:
$ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
$ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'
on a fully packed repository goes from:
real 0m8.680s
user 0m8.160s
sys 0m0.512s
to:
real 0m7.205s

A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().
Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.
With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:
$ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
$ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects
on the linux.git repository:
real 1m13.494s
user 0m25.924s
sys 0m47.532s
If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:
real 0m54.697s
user 0m21.692s
sys 0m32.916s
but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:
real 0m7.452s
user 0m6.836s
sys 0m0.608s
This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that
callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for
the warning.

I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then

Original design of relative_path() is simple, just strip the prefix
(*base) from the absolute path (*abs).
In most cases, we need a real relative path, such as: ../foo,
../../bar. That's why there is another reimplementation
(path_relative()) in quote.c.
Borrow some codes from path_relative() in quote.c to refactor
relative_path() in path.c, so that it could return real relative
path, and user can reuse this function without reimplementing
his/her own. The function path_relative() in quote.c will be
substituted, and I would use the new relative_path() function when
implementing the interactive git-clean later.
Different results for relative_path() before and after this refactor:
abs path base path relative (original) relative (refactor)
======== ========= =================== ===================

You may notice that return value "." has been changed to "./".
It is because:
* Function quote_path_relative() in quote.c will show the relative
path as "./" if abs(in) and base(prefix) are the same.
* Function relative_path() is called only once (in setup.c), and
it will be OK for the return value as "./" instead of ".".

It can sometimes be useful to know whether a path in the
filesystem has been updated without going to the work of
opening and re-reading its content. We trust the stat()
information on disk already to handle index updates, and we
can use the same trick here.
This patch introduces a "stat_validity" struct which
encapsulates the concept of checking the stat-freshness of a

We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options

Each "struct ref" has a boolean flag that is set by the
fetch code to determine whether the ref should be marked as
"not-for-merge" or not when we write it out to FETCH_HEAD.
It would be useful to turn this boolean into a tri-state,
with the third state meaning "do not bother writing it out
to FETCH_HEAD at all". That would let us add extra refs to
the set of refs to be stored (e.g., to store copies of
things we fetched) without impacting FETCH_HEAD.
This patch turns it into an enum that covers the tri-state
case, and hopefully makes the code more explicit and easier
to read.

In Git 2.0, "git add -u" and "git add -A" without any pathspec will
update the index for all paths, including those outside the current
directory, making it more consistent with "commit -a". To help the
migration pain, a warning is issued when the differences between the
current behaviour and the upcoming behaviour matters, i.e. when the
user has local changes outside the current directory.
* 'jn/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec' (early part):
add -A: only show pathless 'add -A' warning when changes exist outside cwd
add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd
add: make warn_pathless_add() a no-op after first call
add: add a blank line at the end of pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning
add: make pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning a file-global function
"git reflog --expire=all" tries to expire reflog entries up to the
current second, because the approxidate() parser gives the current
timestamp for anything it does not understand (and it does not know
what time "all" means). When the user tells us to expire "all" (or
set the expiration time to "now"), the user wants to remove all the
reflog entries (no reflog entry should record future time).
Just set it to ULONG_MAX and to let everything that is older that
timestamp expire.
While at it, allow "now" to be treated the same way for callers that
parse expiry date timestamp with this function. Also use an error
reporting version of approxidate() to report misspelled date. When
the user says e.g. "--expire=mnoday" to delete entries two days or
older on Wednesday, we wouldn't want the "unknown, default to now"
logic to kick in.

A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of
interest and only do work there:
cd src
vi foo.c
make test
git add -u
git commit
The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a
workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory,
'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an
implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant
implementation detail.
The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying
because it seemingly serves no purpose in this case. So suppress the
warning unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being
added.
A previous version of this patch ran two I/O-intensive diff-files
passes: one to find changes outside the cwd, and another to find
changes to add to the index within the cwd. This version runs one
full-tree diff and decides for each change whether to add it or warn
and suppress it in update_callback. As a result, even on very large
repositories "git add -u" will not be significantly slower than the
future default behavior ("git add -u :/"), and the slowdown relative
to "git add -u ." should be a useful clue to users of such
repositories to get into the habit of explicitly passing '.'.

entries in this case, so the "for all items" above could be modified
to "for all updated items". But..

match $path, but not updated by $tree, are now NOT touched. Although
this should be considered a bug fix, not a regression. A new test is
added for this change.

negative number of bits to size the window. For that purpose, factor
out the function do_git_deflate_init() and add git_deflate_init_raw(),
which wraps it. Then use the latter in archive-zip.c and get rid of
the code that stripped the zlib header and trailer.
Also rename the helper function zlib_deflate() to zlib_deflate_raw()
to reflect the change.
Thus we avoid generating data that we throw away anyway, the code
becomes shorter and some magic constants are removed.

If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:
GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status
would compare against the cwd.
Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails, as we expect
git config alias.st status
git status ;# does not fail, but should
What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.
It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).
You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails
git --bare status ;# does NOT fail
We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.
Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.
The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within
the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever
GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared.
In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of
the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared
actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing
to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing.
While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT
macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which
can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.
