The git-repack command always passes `--honor-pack-keep`
to pack-objects. This has traditionally been a good thing,
as we do not want to duplicate those objects in a new pack,
and we are not going to delete the old pack.
However, when bitmaps are in use, it is important for a full
repack to include all reachable objects, even if they may be
duplicated in a .keep pack. Otherwise, we cannot generate
the bitmaps, as the on-disk format requires the set of
objects in the pack to be fully closed.
Even if the repository does not generally have .keep files,
a simultaneous push could cause a race condition in which a
.keep file exists at the moment of a repack. The repack may
try to include those objects in one of two situations:
1. The pushed .keep pack contains objects that were
already in the repository (e.g., blobs due to a revert of
an old commit).
2. Receive-pack updates the refs, making the objects
reachable, but before it removes the .keep file, the
repack runs.
In either case, we may prefer to duplicate some objects in
the new, full pack, and let the next repack (after the .keep
file is cleaned up) take care of removing them.
This patch introduces both a command-line and config option
to disable the `--honor-pack-keep` option. By default, it
is triggered when pack.writeBitmaps (or `--write-bitmap-index`
is turned on), but specifying it explicitly can override the
behavior (e.g., in cases where you prefer .keep files to
bitmaps, but only when they are present).
Note that this option just disables the pack-objects
behavior. We still leave packs with a .keep in place, as we
do not necessarily know that we have duplicated all of their
objects.

Commit 322bb6e12f (add update 'none' flag to disable update of submodule
by default) added the '--checkout' option to "git submodule update" but
forgot to explicitly document it in synopsis, usage string and man page
(It is only mentioned implicitly in the man page). In 23d25e48 (submodule:
explicit local branch creation in module_clone) the synopsis of the man
page was updated, but the "OPTIONS" section of the man page and the usage
string of the git-submodule script still do not mention the '--checkout'
option.
Fix that by documenting this option in usage string and the "OPTIONS"
section of man page too. While at it group the update-mode options into
a single set in the usage string.

In commit ee27ca4, we started restricting remote git-archive
invocations to only accessing reachable commits. This
matches what upload-pack allows, but does restrict some
useful cases (e.g., HEAD:foo). We loosened this in 0f544ee,
which allows `foo:bar` as long as `foo` is a ref tip.
However, that still doesn't allow many useful things, like:
1. Commits accessible from a ref, like `foo^:bar`, which
are reachable
2. Arbitrary sha1s, even if they are reachable.
We can do a full object-reachability check for these cases,
but it can be quite expensive if the client has sent us the
sha1 of a tree; we have to visit every sub-tree of every
commit in the worst case.
Let's instead give site admins an escape hatch, in case they
prefer the more liberal behavior. For many sites, the full
object database is public anyway (e.g., if you allow dumb
walker access), or the site admin may simply decide the
security/convenience tradeoff is not worth it.
This patch adds a new config option to disable the
restrictions added in ee27ca4. It defaults to off, meaning
there is no change in behavior by default.

The previous code only checked out branches in cmd_add. This commit
moves the branch-checkout logic into module_clone, where it can be
shared by cmd_add and cmd_update. I also update the initial checkout
command to use 'reset' to preserve branches setup during module_clone.
With this change, folks cloning submodules for the first time via:
$ git submodule update ...
will get a local branch instead of a detached HEAD, unless they are
using the default checkout-mode updates. This is a change from the
previous situation where cmd_update always used checkout-mode logic
(regardless of the requested update mode) for updates that triggered
an initial clone, which always resulted in a detached HEAD.
This commit does not change the logic for updates after the initial
clone, which will continue to create detached HEADs for checkout-mode
updates, and integrate remote work with the local HEAD (detached or
not) in other modes.
The motivation for the change is that developers doing local work
inside the submodule are likely to select a non-checkout-mode for
updates so their local work is integrated with upstream work.
Developers who are not doing local submodule work stick with
checkout-mode updates so any apparently local work is blown away
during updates. For example, if upstream rolls back the remote branch
or gitlinked commit to an earlier version, the checkout-mode developer
wants their old submodule checkout to be rolled back as well, instead
of getting a no-op merge/rebase with the rolled-back reference.
By using the update mode to distinguish submodule developers from
black-box submodule consumers, we can setup local branches for the
developers who will want local branches, and stick with detached HEADs
for the developers that don't care.
Testing
=======
In t7406, just-cloned checkouts now update to the gitlinked hash with
'reset', to preserve the local branch for situations where we're not
on a detached HEAD.
I also added explicit tests to t7406 for HEAD attachement after
cloning updates, showing that it depends on their update mode:
* Checkout-mode updates get detached HEADs
* Everyone else gets a local branch, matching the configured
submodule.<name>.branch and defaulting to master.
The 'initial-setup' tag makes it easy to reset the superproject to a
known state, as several earlier tests commit to submodules and commit
the changed gitlinks to the superproject, but don't push the new
submodule commits to the upstream subprojects. This makes it
impossible to checkout the current super master, because it references
submodule commits that don't exist in the upstream subprojects. For a
specific example, see the tests that currently generate the
'two_new_submodule_commits' commits.
Documentation
=============
I updated the docs to describe the 'submodule update' modes in detail.
The old documentation did not distinguish between cloning and
non-cloning updates and lacked clarity on which operations would lead
to detached HEADs, and which would not. The new documentation
addresses these issues while updating the docs to reflect the changes
introduced by this commit's explicit local branch creation in
module_clone.
I also add '--checkout' to the usage summary and group the update-mode
options into a single set.

Turns out that putting 'link:' before the 'http' is actually superfluous
in AsciiDoc, as there's already a predefined macro to handle it.
"http, https, [etc] URLs are rendered using predefined inline macros."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_urls
"Hypertext links to files on the local file system are specified
using the link inline macro."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_linking_to_local_documents
Despite being superfluous, the reference implementation of AsciiDoc
tolerates the extra 'link:' and silently removes it, giving a functioning
link in the generated HTML. However, AsciiDoctor (the Ruby implementation
of AsciiDoc used to render the http://git-scm.com/ site) does /not/ have
this behaviour, and so generates broken links, as can be seen here:
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-cvsimport (links to cvs2git & parsecvs)
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch (link to The BFG)
It's worth noting that after this change, the html generated by 'make html'
in the git project is identical, and all links still work.

parts of merge-options.txt when used from git-pull.txt.
However, the latter did not have an intended effect, because the
macro "git-pull" used to decide if the source is included in
git-pull documentation were defined a bit too late.
Define the macro before it is used to fix this.

With a submodule that was initialized in an old fashioned way
without gitlinks, switching branches in the superproject between
the one with and without the submodule may leave the submodule
working tree with its embedded repository behind, as there may be
unexpendable state there. Document and warn users about this.
* jl/submodule-mv-checkout-caveat:
rm: better document side effects when removing a submodule
mv: better document side effects when moving a submodule
Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.
* jn/pager-lv-default-env:
pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
"git help $cmd" unnecessarily enumerated potential command names
from the filesystem, even when $cmd is known to be a built-in.
Ideas for further optimization, primarily by killing the use of
is_in_cmdlist(), were suggested in the discussion, but they can
come as follow-ups on top of this series.
* ss/builtin-cleanup:
builtin/help.c: speed up is_git_command() by checking for builtin commands first
builtin/help.c: call load_command_list() only when it is needed
git.c: consistently use the term "builtin" instead of "internal command"
Update the way the user-manual is formatted via AsciiDoc to save
trees.
* ta/format-user-manual-as-an-article:
user-manual: improve html and pdf formatting
Teach "cat-file --batch" to show delta-base object name for a
packed object that is represented as a delta.
* jk/oi-delta-base:
cat-file: provide %(deltabase) batch format
sha1_object_info_extended: provide delta base sha1s
Allow "git diff -O<file>" to be configured with a new configuration
variable.
* sb/diff-orderfile-config:
diff: add diff.orderfile configuration variable
diff: let "git diff -O" read orderfile from any file and fail properly
t4056: add new tests for "git diff -O"
read_sha1_file() that is the workhorse to read the contents given
an object name honoured object replacements, but there is no
corresponding mechanism to sha1_object_info() that is used to
obtain the metainfo (e.g. type & size) about the object, leading
callers to weird inconsistencies.
* cc/replace-object-info:
replace info: rename 'full' to 'long' and clarify in-code symbols
Documentation/git-replace: describe --format option
builtin/replace: unset read_replace_refs
t6050: add tests for listing with --format
builtin/replace: teach listing using short, medium or full formats
sha1_file: perform object replacement in sha1_object_info_extended()
t6050: show that git cat-file --batch fails with replace objects
sha1_object_info_extended(): add an "unsigned flags" parameter
sha1_file.c: add lookup_replace_object_extended() to pass flags
replace_object: don't check read_replace_refs twice
rename READ_SHA1_FILE_REPLACE flag to LOOKUP_REPLACE_OBJECT
Introduce "negative pathspec" magic, to allow "git log -- . ':!dir'" to
tell us "I am interested in everything but 'dir' directory".
* nd/negative-pathspec:
pathspec.c: support adding prefix magic to a pathspec with mnemonic magic
Support pathspec magic :(exclude) and its short form :!
glossary-content.txt: rephrase magic signature part
The "Submodules" section of the "git rm" documentation mentions what will
happen when a submodule with a gitfile gets removed with newer git. But it
doesn't talk about what happens when the user changes between commits
before and after the removal, which does not remove the submodule from the
work tree like using the rm command did the first time.
Explain what happens and what the user has to do manually to fix that in
the new BUGS section. Also document this behavior in a new test.

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
^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1m+++ b/.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
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

Use asciidoc style 'article' instead of 'book' and change asciidoc
title level. This removes blank first page and superfluous "Part I"
page (there is no "Part II") in pdf output. Also pdf size is
decreased by this from 77 to 67 pages. In html output this removes
unnecessary sub-tocs and chapter numbering.

Since 2dce956 is_git_command() is a bit slow as it does file I/O in
the call to list_commands_in_dir(). Avoid the file I/O by adding an

Descriptions for all the settings fell under the initial "Each
submodule section also contains the following required keys:". The
example shows sections with just 'path' and 'url' entries, which are
indeed required, but we should still make the required/optional
distinction explicit to clarify that the rest of them are optional.
