Perforce repositories can contain large (binary) files. Migrating these
repositories to Git generates very large local clones. External storage
systems such as Git LFS [1], Git Fat [2], Git Media [3], git-annex [4]
try to address this problem.
Add a generic mechanism to detect large files based on extension,
uncompressed size, and/or compressed size.

"git describe" without argument defaulted to describe the HEAD
commit, but "git describe --contains" didn't. Arguably, in a
repository used for active development, such defaulting would not
be very useful as the tip of branch is typically not tagged, but it
is better to be consistent.
* sg/describe-contains:
describe --contains: default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given

gc: use tempfile module to handle gc.pid file
lock_repo_for_gc(): compute the path to "gc.pid" only once

lockfile: add accessors get_lock_file_fd() and get_lock_file_fp()
create_bundle(): duplicate file descriptor to avoid closing it twice
lockfile: move documentation to lockfile.h and lockfile.c
To prepare for allowing a different "ref" backend to be plugged in
to the system, update_ref()/delete_ref() have been taught about
ref-like things like MERGE_HEAD that are per-worktree (they will
always be written to the filesystem inside $GIT_DIR).
* dt/refs-pseudo:
pseudoref: check return values from read_ref()
sequencer: replace write_cherry_pick_head with update_ref
bisect: use update_ref
pseudorefs: create and use pseudoref update and delete functions
refs: add ref_type function
refs: introduce pseudoref and per-worktree ref concepts
'git describe --contains' doesn't default to HEAD when no commit is
given, and it doesn't produce any output, not even an error:
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains HEAD
v2.5.0^0
Unlike other 'git describe' options, the '--contains' code path is
implemented by calling 'name-rev' with a bunch of options plus all the
commit-ishes that were passed to 'git describe'. If no commit-ish was
present, then 'name-rev' got invoked with none, which then leads to the
behavior illustrated above.
Porcelain commands usually default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given,
and 'git describe' already does so in all other cases, so it should do
so with '--contains' as well.
Pass HEAD to 'name-rev' when no commit-ish is given on the command line
to make '--contains' behave consistently with other 'git describe'
options. While at it, use argv_array_pushv() instead of the loop to
pass commit-ishes to 'git name-rev'.
'git describe's short help already indicates that the commit-ish is
optional, but the synopsis in the man page doesn't, so update it
accordingly as well.

The rev-list command does not have the internal
infrastructure to display notes. Running:
git rev-list --notes HEAD
will silently ignore the "--notes" option. Running:
git rev-list --notes --grep=. HEAD
will crash on an assert. Running:
git rev-list --format=%N HEAD
will place a literal "%N" in the output (it does not even
expand to an empty string).
Let's have rev-list tell the user that it cannot fill the
user's request, rather than silently producing wrong data.
Likewise, let's remove mention of the notes options from the
rev-list documentation.

The "rev-parse --parseopt" mode parsed the option specification
and the argument hint in a strange way to allow '=' and other
special characters in the option name while forbidding them from
the argument hint. This made it impossible to define an option
like "--pair <key>=<value>" with "pair=key=value" specification,
which instead would have defined a "--pair=key <value>" option.

We remove the extracted functions and directly parse into and read out
of the cache. This allows us to have one unified way of accessing

In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They
need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree
of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a
caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then
parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one
place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the
worktree).
The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read
.gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then
be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for
path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed.
It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between
commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then
either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an
unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each
requested commit.
This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about
submodule configurations. Example use cases are:
* Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from
its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before
this configuration exists in the worktree.
* The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to
lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a
revision that is not checked out.
* 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or
configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the
database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it
needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new
submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without
any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that
revision.

Teach notes about a new "notes.<name>.mergeStrategy" option for
configuring the notes merge strategy when merging into
refs/notes/<name>. This option allows for the selection of merge
strategy for particular notes refs, rather than all notes ref merges, as
user may not want cat_sort_uniq for all refs, but only some. Note that
the <name> is the local reference we are merging into, not the remote
ref we merged from. The assumption is that users will mostly want to
configure separate local ref merge strategies rather than strategies
depending on which remote ref they merge from.
notes.<name>.mergeStrategy overrides the general behavior as it is more
specific.
