Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore
broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed
with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better
for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to
silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are
computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune
objects).
These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that
ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For
instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to
inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it
would in turn have to tell the revision code that our
"--all" should include broken refs.
It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous"
operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

rev-list --bisect is used by git bisect, but never together with
--first-parent. Because rev-list --bisect together with --first-parent
is not handled currently, and even leads to segfaults, refuse to use
both options together.
Because this is not supported, it makes little sense to use git log
--bisect --first parent either, because refs/heads/bad is not limited to

Because "--graph" is about connected history while --no-walk is

This change makes a few calls to "show --graph" fail in t4052, but
asking to show one commit with graph is a nonsensical thing to do.
Thus, tests on "show --graph" in t4052 have been removed [2,3].
Same tests on "show" without --graph option have already been tested
in 4052.

If we are expiring reflog entries for a symbolic reference, then how
should --updateref be handled if the newest reflog entry is expired?
Option 1: Update the referred-to reference. (This is what the current
code does.) This doesn't make sense, because the referred-to reference
has its own reflog, which hasn't been rewritten.
Option 2: Update the symbolic reference itself (as in, REF_NODEREF).
This would convert the symbolic reference into a non-symbolic
reference (e.g., detaching HEAD), which is surely not what a user
would expect.
Option 3: Error out. This is plausible, but it would make the
following usage impossible:
git reflog expire ... --updateref --all
Option 4: Ignore --updateref for symbolic references.
We choose to implement option 4.
Note: another problem in this code will be fixed in a moment.

In "git log --decorate", you would see the commit header like this:
commit ... (HEAD, jc/decorate-leaky-separator-color)
where "commit ... (" is painted in color.diff.commit, "HEAD" in
color.decorate.head, ", " in color.diff.commit, the branch name in
color.decorate.branch and then closing ")" in color.diff.commit.
If you wanted to paint the HEAD and local branch name in the same
color as the body text (perhaps because cyan and green are too faint
on a black-on-white terminal to be readable), you would not want to
have to say
[color "decorate"]
head = black
branch = black
because that you would not be able to reuse same configuration on a
white-on-black terminal. You would naively expect
[color "decorate"]
head = normal
branch = normal
to work, but unfortunately it does not. It paints the string "HEAD"
and the branch name in the same color as the opening parenthesis or
comma between the decoration elements. This is because the code
forgets to reset the color after printing the "prefix" in its own
color.
It theoretically is possible that some people were expecting and
relying on that the attribute set as the "diff.commit" color, which
is used to draw these opening parenthesis and inter-item comma, is
inherited by the drawing of branch names, but it is not how the
coloring works everywhere else.

By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a
Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when
"git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a
mistake (or a mischief). Git itself does not create such a patch,
unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard
prefix to "git diff" and friends.
When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass
the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This
option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use.

It seems to be a common mistake to try using a single remote
(e.g. 'origin') to fetch from one place (i.e. upstream) while
pushing to another (i.e. your publishing point).
That will never work satisfactorily, and it is easy to understand
why if you think about what refs/remotes/origin/* would mean in such
a world. It fundamentally cannot reflect the reality. If it
follows the state of your upstream, it cannot match what you have
published, and vice versa.
It may be that misinformation is spread by some people. Let's
counter them by adding a few words to our documentation.
- The description was referring to <oldurl> and <newurl>, but never
mentioned <name> argument you give from the command line. By
mentioning "remote <name>", stress the fact that it is configuring
a single remote.
- Add a reminder that explicitly states that this is about a single
remote, which the triangular workflow is not about.

because C and R _were_ the only ones that came with a number back
then. This was corrected by ddafa7e9 (diff-helper: Fix R/C score

score; it did not have to fix any documentation.

Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions,
and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt.
This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation.
We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the
text document, or all in the header.
Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the
formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the
documentation close to the related code. The hope is that
this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable
comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier
for writers to keep the documentation up to date.
This is more or less a straight import of the text from
api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc
formatting. The exceptions are:
1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**"
to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This
may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print
it.
2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name,
as it is available in the context directly below. So:
`strbuf_add`::
Add data of given length to the buffer.
from api-strbuf.txt becomes:
/**
* Add data of given length to the buffer.
*/
void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t);
As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc
for that list item was dropped in favor of straight
blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we
are not in a list item).
3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments
and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever
version was more descriptive, and eliminated any
redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api
documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated
this as redundant with the actual definition, which can
be seen directly below the comment.
4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match
the ordering of the API documentation, under the
assumption that more thought went into the grouping
there.

Even though "advice.h" includes "git-compat-util.h", it is not
sensible to have it as the first #include and indirectly satisify
the "You must give git-compat-util.h a clean environment to set up
feature test macros before including any of the system headers are
included", which is the real requirement.
Because:
- A command that interacts with the object store, config subsystem,
the index, or the working tree cannot do anything without using
what is declared in "cache.h";
- A built-in command must be declared in "builtin.h", so anything
in builtin/*.c must include it;
- These two headers both include "git-compat-util.h" as the first
thing; and
- Almost all our *.c files (outside compat/ and borrowed files in
xdiff/) need some Git-ness from "cache.h" to do something
Git-ish.
let's explicitly specify that one of these three header files must
be the first thing that is included.
Any of our *.c file should include the header file that directly
declares what it uses, instead of relying on the fact that some *.h
file it includes happens to include another *.h file that declares
the necessary function or type. Spell it out as another guideline
item.

"git log --grep=<string>" shows only commits with messages that
match the given string, but sometimes it is useful to be able to
show only commits that do *not* have certain messages (e.g. "show
me ones that are not FIXUP commits").
Originally, we had the invert-grep flag in grep_opt, but because
"git grep --invert-grep" does not make sense except in conjunction
with "--files-with-matches", which is already covered by
"--files-without-matches", it was moved it to revisions structure.
To have the flag there expresses the function to the feature better.
When the newly inserted two tests run, the history would have commits
with messages "initial", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth"
and "Second", committed in this order. The commits that does not match
either "th" or "Sec" is "second" and "initial". For the case insensitive

Earlier we made "rev-list --object-edge" more aggressively list the

fetched into a shallow repository, but the change affected cases
other than "fetching into a shallow repository" and made it

When receive.denyCurrentBranch is set to updateInstead, a push that
tries to update the branch that is currently checked out is accepted
only when the index and the working tree exactly matches the
currently checked out commit, in which case the index and the
working tree are updated to match the pushed commit. Otherwise the
push is refused.
This hook can be used to customize this "push-to-deploy" logic. The
hook receives the commit with which the tip of the current branch is
going to be updated, and can decide what kind of local changes are
acceptable and how to update the index and the working tree to match
the updated tip of the current branch.
For example, the hook can simply run `git read-tree -u -m HEAD "$1"`
in order to emulate 'git fetch' that is run in the reverse direction
with `git push`, as the two-tree form of `read-tree -u -m` is
essentially the same as `git checkout` that switches branches while
keeping the local changes in the working tree that do not interfere
with the difference between the branches.

This adds support to send-pack to negotiate and use atomic pushes
iff the server supports it. Atomic pushes are activated by a new command
line flag --atomic.
In order to do this we also need to change the semantics for send_pack()
slightly. The existing send_pack() function actually doesn't send all the
refs back to the server when multiple refs are involved, for example
when using --all. Several of the failure modes for pushes can already be
detected locally in the send_pack client based on the information from the
initial server side list of all the refs as generated by receive-pack.
Any such refs that we thus know would fail to push are thus pruned from
the list of refs we send to the server to update.
For atomic pushes, we have to deal thus with both failures that are detected
locally as well as failures that are reported back from the server. In order
to do so we treat all local failures as push failures too.
We introduce a new status code REF_STATUS_ATOMIC_PUSH_FAILED so we can
flag all refs that we would normally have tried to push to the server
but we did not due to local failures. This is to improve the error message
back to the end user to flag that "these refs failed to update since the
atomic push operation failed."

When fetching into or pushing from a shallow repository, we want to
aggressively mark edges as uninteresting, since this decreases the pack
size. However, aggressively marking edges can negatively affect
performance on large non-shallow repositories with lots of refs.
Teach pack-objects a --shallow option to indicate that we're pushing
from or fetching into a shallow repository. Use
--objects-edge-aggressive only for shallow repositories and otherwise
use --objects-edge, which performs better in the general case. Update
the callers to pass the --shallow option when they are dealing with a

of edges uninteresting. This change, and the subsequent change to make
this conditional on --objects-edge, are used by --thin to make much
smaller packs for shallow clones.
Unfortunately, they cause a significant performance regression when
pushing non-shallow clones with lots of refs (23.322 seconds vs.
4.785 seconds with 22400 refs). Add an option to git rev-list,
--objects-edge-aggressive, that preserves this more aggressive behavior,

commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS

1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is
unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32.
In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as
the restricted names are rather obscure and almost
certainly would never come up in practice.
2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we

If you run git as part of an automated system, you might
prefer git to die rather than try to issue a prompt on the
terminal (because there would be nobody to see it and
respond, and the process would hang forever).
This usually works out of the box because getpass() (and our
more featureful replacements) will fail when there is no
tty, but this does not cover all cases. For example, a batch
system run via ssh might have a tty, even when the user does
not expect it.

When we are trying to fill a credential, we loop over the
set of defined credential-helpers, then fall back to running
askpass, and then finally prompt on the terminal. Helpers
which cannot find a credential are free to tell us nothing,
but they cannot currently ask us to stop prompting.
This patch lets them provide a "quit" attribute, which asks
us to stop the process entirely (avoiding running more
helpers, as well as the askpass/terminal prompt).
This has a few possible uses:
1. A helper which prompts the user itself (e.g., in a
dialog) can provide a "cancel" button to the user to
stop further prompts.
2. Some helpers may know that prompting cannot possibly
work. For example, if their role is to broker a ticket
from an external auth system and that auth system
cannot be contacted, there is no point in continuing
(we need a ticket to authenticate, and the user cannot
provide one by typing it in).

The thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/257392
details problems when applying patches with "git am" in a repository with
CRLF line endings. In the example in the thread, the repository originated
from "git-svn" so it is not possible to use core.eol and friends on it.
Right now, the best option is to use "git am --keep-cr". However, when
a patch create new files, the patch application process will reject the
new file because it finds a "/dev/null\r" string instead of "/dev/null".
The problem is that SMTP transport is CRLF-unsafe. Sending a patch by
email is the same as passing it through "dos2unix | unix2dos". The newly
introduced CRLFs are normally transparent because git-am strips them. The
keepcr=true setting preserves them, but it is mostly working by chance
and it would be very problematic to have a "git am" workflow in a
repository with mixed LF and CRLF line endings.
The MIME solution to this is the quoted-printable transfer enconding.
This is not something that we want to enable by default, since it makes
received emails horrible to look at. However, it is a very good match
for projects that store CRLF line endings in the repository.
The only disadvantage of quoted-printable is that quoted-printable
patches fail to apply if the maintainer uses "git am --keep-cr". This
is because the decoded patch will have two carriage returns at the end
of the line. Therefore, add support for base64 transfer encoding too,
which makes received emails downright impossible to look at outside
a MUA, but really just works.
The patch covers all bases, including users that still live in the late
80s, by also providing a 7bit content transfer encoding that refuses
to send emails with non-ASCII character in them. And finally, "8bit"
will add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header but otherwise do nothing.

You can turn on ANSI text attributes like "reverse" by
putting "reverse" in your color spec. However, you cannot
ask to turn reverse off.
For common cases, this does not matter. You would turn on
"reverse" at the start of a colored section, and then clear
all attributes with a "reset". However, you may wish to turn
on some attributes, then selectively disable others. For
example:
git log --format="%C(bold ul yellow)%h%C(noul) %s"
underlines just the hash, but without the need to re-specify
the rest of the attributes. This can also help third-party
programs, like contrib/diff-highlight, that want to turn
some attribute on/off without disrupting existing coloring.

Use libcurl's high-level API functions to implement git-imap-send
instead of the previous low-level OpenSSL-based functions.
Since version 7.30.0, libcurl's API has been able to communicate with
IMAP servers. Using those high-level functions instead of the current
ones would reduce imap-send.c by some 1200 lines of code. For now,
the old ones are wrapped in #ifdefs, and the new functions are enabled
by make if curl's version is >= 7.34.0, from which version on curl's
CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS (enabling IMAP authentication) parameter has been
available. The low-level functions will still be used for tunneling
into the server for now.
As I don't have access to that many IMAP servers, I haven't been able to
test the new code with a wide variety of parameter combinations. I did
test both secure and insecure (imaps:// and imap://) connections and
values of "PLAIN" and "LOGIN" for the authMethod.

It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH
when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative
way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line
arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable,
which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell.
The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using
PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH;
in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to
the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling
the underlying ssh implementation.

the new commit.

The option name "--store" was used early in development, but
never even made it into an applied patch, let alone a
released version of git. I forgot to update the matching
documentation at the time, though.

The -v/-q options were sort-of supported but without using the
parse-options API, and were not documented.
