This reverts commit 6be4595edb.
That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so
that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions
in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk
config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the
plumbing diff commands began to generate color output.
This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in
git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying
to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to
'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created
even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git
-c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some
commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that
by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are
getting pretty confusing.
Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off
the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of
"always", which this revert does.
Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged
in by da15b78e52. Most of that
series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the
weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping
for a few reasons:
- there are some other preparatory cleanups, like
e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03)
- it adds "--color" options more consistently in
0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter
users, 2017-10-03)
- some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust
and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use
test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03)
- the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color",
and we should be modeling that consistently
We can individually revert the few commits necessary to
restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this
patch).
Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test
added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now.

There are "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--][<paths>...]" in the
SYNOPSIS section, and "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--]<paths>..."
as the header for the section that explains the "check out paths
from index/tree-ish" mode. It is unclear if we require at least one
path, or it is entirely optional.
Actually, both are wrong. Without the "-p(atch)" option, you must
have <pathspec> (otherwise, with a commit that is a <tree-ish>, you
would be checking out that commit to build a new history on top of
it). With it, it is already clear that you are checking out paths,
it is optional. In other words, you cannot omit both.
The source of the confusion is that -p(atch) is described as if it
is just another "optional" part and its description is lumped
together with the non patch mode, even though the actual end user
experience is vastly different.
Let's split the entry into two, and describe the regular mode and
the patch mode separately. This allows us to make it clear that the
regular mode MUST be given at least one pathspec, that the patch
mode can be invoked with either '-p' or '--patch' but one of these
must be given, and that the pathspec is entirely optional in the
patch mode.
Also, revamp the explanation of "checkout paths" by removing
extraneous description at the beginning, that says "checking out
paths is not checking out a branch". Explaining what it is for and
when the user wants to use it upfront is the most direct way to help

There are times when e.g. scripts want to know not only the name of the
upstream branch on the remote repository, but also the name of the
remote.
This patch offers the new suffix :remotename for the upstream and for
the push atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example:
$ cat .git/config
...
[remote "origin"]
url = https://where.do.we.come/from
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/*
[remote "hello-world"]
url = https://hello.world/git
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/*
pushURL = hello.world:git
push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
pushRemote = hello-world
...
$ git for-each-ref \
--format='%(upstream) %(upstream:remotename) %(push:remotename)' \
refs/heads/master
refs/remotes/origin/master origin hello-world
The implementation chooses *not* to DWIM the push remote if no explicit
push remote was configured; The reason is that it is possible to DWIM this
by using
%(if)%(push:remotename)%(then)
%(push:remotename)
%(else)
%(upstream:remotename)
%(end)
while it would be impossible to "un-DWIM" the information in case the
caller is really only interested in explicit push remotes.
While `:remote` would be shorter, it would also be a bit more ambiguous,
and it would also shut the door e.g. for `:remoteref` (which would
obviously refer to the corresponding ref in the remote repository).
Note: the dashless, non-CamelCased form `:remotename` follows the
example of the `:trackshort` example.

It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.
What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:
git -c color.ui=always ...
it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).
Some people have done this anyway, because:
1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
certainly want `auto`.
2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
the confusion came up less frequently than it might
have.
The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.
That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.
Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.
There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.
But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.
This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run
commands like "git status" in the background to keep track
of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may
refresh the index and write out the result in an
opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they
update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if
not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be
recomputed by the next caller.
But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations
in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing
themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words,
"git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is
holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status
would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it.
There are a couple possible solutions:
1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other
commands to tell status that they want the lock.
This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to
implement (and maybe even impossible with just
dotlocks to work from, as it requires some
inter-process communication).
2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status"
that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring
instead plumbing like diff-files, etc.
This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that
"status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the
repository state than is available from individual
plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_
want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to
take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands
like diff-files expect us to refresh the index
separately and write it to disk so that they can depend
on the result. But that write is exactly what we're
trying to avoid.
3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index.
This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any
work done in refreshing the index for such a call is
lost when the process exits. So a background process
may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times
until the user runs a command that does an index
refresh themselves.
This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test)
is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes
Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the
index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that
instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes
a "git" option and matching environment variable.
The reason there is two-fold:
1. An environment variable is carried through to
sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a
background process or not should apply to the whole
process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks
foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls
"status", you'll still get the effect.
2. There may be other programs that want the same
treatment.
I've punted here on finding more callers to convert,
since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated
background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh
of the index may be a good candidate.
The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating
Johannes's explanation:
Note that the regression test added in this commit does
not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written;
that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we
verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git
status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

cvsserver: use safe_pipe_capture for `constant commands` as well

The ability to exclude paths with a negative pathspec is not mentioned
in the man pages for git grep and other commands where it might be
useful.
Add an example and a pointer to the pathspec glossary entry in the man
page for git grep to help the user to discover this ability.
Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages.
Additionally,
- Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present.
- Add a test for the ^ alias.
- Improve name of existing test.
- Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.

References to multi-word configuration variable names in our
documentation must consistently use camelCase to highlight where
the word boundaries are, even though these are treated case
insensitively.
Fix a few places that spell them in all lowercase, which makes
them harder to read.

The description of `-Xours` merge option has a parenthetical note
that tells the readers that it is very different from `-s ours`,
which is correct, but the description of `-Xtheirs` that follows it
carelessly says "this is the opposite of `ours`", giving a false
impression that the readers also need to be warned that it is very
different from `-s theirs`, which in reality does not even exist.
Clarify it a bit to avoid misleading readers.

With more commands (that potentially change a submodule) paying attention
to submodules as well as the recent discussion[1] on
submodule.<name>.update, let's spell out that submodule.<name>.update
is strictly to be used for configuring the "submodule update" command
and not to be obeyed by other commands.
These other commands usually have a strict meaning of what they should
do (i.e. checkout, reset, rebase, merge) as well as have their name
overlapping with the modes possible for submodule.<name>.update.
[1] https://public-inbox.org/git/4283F0B0-BC1C-4ED1-8126-7E512D84484B@gmail.com/
submodule.<name>.update was set to "none", triggering unexpected
behavior as the submodule was thought to never be touched.
However a newer version of Git taught 'git pull --rebase' to also
populate and rebase submodules if they were active.
The newer options such as submodule.active and command specific
flags would not have triggered unexpected behavior.

The git-read-tree manpage has a table that is meant to
be shown with its spacing exactly as it is in the source. We
mark it as a "literal paragraph" by indenting each line by
at least one space. This renders OK with asciidoc for both
the HTML and manpage versions.
But there are two problems when we render it with
asciidoctor.
The first is that some lines mix tabs and spaces. Even if
asciidoctor is correctly configured for 8-space tabs, it
seems to handle this case differently, soaking up some of
the initial literal-paragraph spaces and mis-aligning the
table text.
The second problem is that the table uses blank lines to
group rows. But as blank lines separate paragraphs in
asciidoc, this actually means that each chunk of the table
is rendered in its own pre-formatted <div> block. This
happens even with vanilla asciidoc, but there's no visible
result because the literal paragraphs aren't styled in any
special way. But with asciidoctor (or at least the styles
used on git-scm.com), literal paragraphs are styled with a
different background. This breaks the table into a visually
distracting sequence of chunks.
We can fix both by adding a literal-paragraph block
delimiter. That turns the whole table into a single block
(for both implementations) and causes asciidoctor to render
the indentation as it is in the source.

With "--state-branch=<branchname>" option, the mapping from old object names
and filtered ones in ./map/ directory is stashed away in the object database,
and the one from the previous run is read to populate the ./map/ directory,
allowing for incremental updates of large trees.

When `git describe` uses `--match`, it matches only tags, basically
ignoring the `--all` argument even when it is specified.
Fix it by also matching branch name and $remote_name/$remote_branch_name,
for remote-tracking references, with the specified patterns. Update
documentation accordingly and add tests.
