The commit-graph feature is now on by default, and is being
written during 'git gc' by default. Typically, Git only writes
a commit-graph when a 'git gc --auto' command passes the gc.auto
setting to actualy do work. This means that a commit-graph will
typically fall behind the commits that are being used every day.
To stay updated with the latest commits, add a step to 'git
fetch' to write a commit-graph after fetching new objects. The
fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting enables writing a split
commit-graph, so on average the cost of writing this file is
very small. Occasionally, the commit-graph chain will collapse
to a single level, and this could be slow for very large repos.
For additional use, adjust the default to be true when
feature.experimental is enabled.

Add the --set-upstream option to git pull/fetch
which lets the user set the upstream configuration
(branch.<current-branch-name>.merge and
branch.<current-branch-name>.remote) for the current branch.
A typical use-case is:
git clone http://example.com/my-public-fork
git remote add main http://example.com/project-main-repo
git pull --set-upstream main master
or, instead of the last line:
git fetch --set-upstream main master
git merge # or git rebase
This is mostly equivalent to cloning project-main-repo (which sets
upsteam) and then "git remote add" my-public-fork, but may feel more
natural for people using a hosting system which allows forking from
the web UI.
This functionality is analog to "git push --set-upstream".

Make the filter_spec string a string_list rather than a raw C string.
The list of strings must be concatted together to make a complete
filter_spec. A future patch will use this capability to build "combine:"
filter specs gradually.
A strbuf would seem to be a more natural choice for this object, but it
unfortunately requires initialization besides just zero'ing out the
memory. This results in all container structs, and all containers of
those structs, etc., to also require initialization. Initializing them
all would be more cumbersome that simply using a string_list, which
behaves properly when its contents are zero'd.
For the purposes of code simplification, change behavior in how filter
specs are conveyed over the protocol: do not normalize the tree:<depth>
filter specs since there should be no server in existence that supports
tree:# but not tree:#k etc.

After updating a set of remove refs during a 'git fetch', we walk the
commits in the new ref value and not in the old ref value to discover
if the update was a forced update. This results in two things happening
during the command:
1. The line including the ref update has an additional "(forced-update)"
marker at the end.
2. The ref log for that remote branch includes a bit saying that update
is a forced update.
For many situations, this forced-update message happens infrequently, or
is a small bit of information among many ref updates. Many users ignore
these messages, but the calculation required here slows down their fetches
significantly. Keep in mind that they do not have the opportunity to
calculate a commit-graph file containing the newly-fetched commits, so
these comparisons can be very slow.
Add a '--[no-]show-forced-updates' option that allows a user to skip this
calculation. The only permanent result is dropping the forced-update bit
in the reflog.
Include a new fetch.showForcedUpdates config setting that allows this
behavior without including the argument in every command. The config
setting is overridden by the command-line arguments.

In multiple remotes mode, git-fetch is launched for n-1 remotes and the
last remote is handled by the current process. Each of these processes
will in turn run 'gc' at the end.
This is not really a problem because even if multiple 'gc --auto' is run
at the same time we still handle it correctly. It does show multiple
"auto packing in the background" messages though. And we may waste some
resources when gc actually runs because we still do some stuff before
checking the lock and moving it to background.
So let's try to avoid that. We should only need one 'gc' run after all
objects and references are added anyway. Add a new option --no-auto-gc
that will be used by those n-1 processes. 'gc --auto' will always run on
the main fetch process (*).
(*) even if we fetch remotes in parallel at some point in future, this
should still be fine because we should "join" all those processes
before this step.

On platforms where "git fetch" is killed with SIGPIPE (e.g. OSX),
the upload-pack that runs on the other end that hangs up after
detecting an error could cause "git fetch" to die with a signal,
which led to a flakey test. "git fetch" now ignores SIGPIPE during
the network portion of its operation (this is not a problem as we
check the return status from our write(2)s).
* jk/no-sigpipe-during-network-transport:
fetch: ignore SIGPIPE during network operation
fetch: avoid calling write_or_die()
The default SIGPIPE behavior can be useful for a command that generates
a lot of output: if the receiver of our output goes away, we'll be
notified asynchronously to stop generating it (typically by killing the
program).
But for a command like fetch, which is primarily concerned with
receiving data and writing it to disk, an unexpected SIGPIPE can be
awkward. We're already checking the return value of all of our write()
calls, and dying due to the signal takes away our chance to gracefully
handle the error.
On Linux, we wouldn't generally see SIGPIPE at all during fetch. If the
other side of the network connection hangs up, we'll see ECONNRESET. But
on OS X, we get a SIGPIPE, and the process is killed. This causes t5570
to racily fail, as we sometimes die by signal (instead of the expected
die() call) when the server side hangs up.
Let's ignore SIGPIPE during the network portion of the fetch, which will
cause our write() to return EPIPE, giving us consistent behavior across
platforms.
This fixes the test flakiness, but note that it stops short of fixing
the larger problem. The server side hit a fatal error, sent us an "ERR"
packet, and then hung up. We notice the failure because we're trying to
write to a closed socket. But by dying immediately, we never actually
read the ERR packet and report its content to the user. This is a (racy)
problem on all platforms. So this patch lays the groundwork from which
that problem might be fixed consistently, but it doesn't actually fix
it.
Note the placement of the SIGPIPE handling. The absolute minimal change
would be to ignore SIGPIPE only when we're writing. But twiddling the
signal handler for each write call is inefficient and maintenance
burden. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we could simply declare
that fetch does not need SIGPIPE handling, since it doesn't generate a
lot of output, and we could just ignore it at the start of cmd_fetch().
This patch takes a middle ground. It ignores SIGPIPE during the network
operation (which is admittedly most of the program, since the actual
network operations are all done under the hood by the transport code).
So it's still pretty coarse.

Currently when git-fetch is asked to recurse into submodules, it dispatches
a plain "git-fetch -C <submodule-dir>" (with some submodule related options
such as prefix and recusing strategy, but) without any information of the
remote or the tip that should be fetched.
But this default fetch is not sufficient, as a newly fetched commit in
the superproject could point to a commit in the submodule that is not
in the default refspec. This is common in workflows like Gerrit's.
When fetching a Gerrit change under review (from refs/changes/??), the
commits in that change likely point to submodule commits that have not
been merged to a branch yet.
Fetch a submodule object by id if the object that the superproject
points to, cannot be found. For now this object is fetched from the
'origin' remote as we defer getting the default remote to a later patch.
A list of new submodule commits are already generated in certain
conditions (by check_for_new_submodule_commits()); this new feature
invokes that function in more situations.
The submodule checks were done only when a ref in the superproject
changed, these checks were extended to also be performed when fetching
into FETCH_HEAD for completeness, and add a test for that too.

When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option
struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback
which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not
defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier
patches in this series show).
Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with
-Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset"
parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered
with PARSE_OPT_NOARG).
But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its
callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence
the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls
in the future.
We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that
they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern,
we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't
as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from
BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that
these should never be seen).
Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers
-Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers
use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

When fetching an object that is known as a promisor object to the local
repository, the connectivity check in quickfetch() in builtin/fetch.c
succeeds, causing object transfer to be bypassed. However, this should
not happen if that object is merely promised and not actually present.
Because this happens, when a user invokes "git fetch origin <sha-1>" on
the command-line, the <sha-1> object may not actually be fetched even
though the command returns an exit code of 0. This is a similar issue
(but with a different cause) to the one fixed by a0c9016abd

Change "fetch" to treat "+" in refspecs (aka --force) to mean we
should clobber a local tag of the same name.
This changes the long-standing behavior of "fetch" added in
853a3697dc ("[PATCH] Multi-head fetch.", 2005-08-20). Before this
change, all tag fetches effectively had --force enabled. See the
git-fetch-script code in fast_forward_local() with the comment:
> Tags need not be pointing at commits so there is no way to
> guarantee "fast-forward" anyway.
That commit and the rest of the history of "fetch" shows that the
"+" (--force) part of refpecs was only conceived for branch updates,
while tags have accepted any changes from upstream unconditionally and
clobbered the local tag object. Changing this behavior has been
discussed as early as 2011[1].
The current behavior doesn't make sense to me, it easily results in
local tags accidentally being clobbered. We could namespace our tags
per-remote and not locally populate refs/tags/*, but as with my
97716d217c ("fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags
config", 2018-02-09) it's easier to work around the current
implementation than to fix the root cause.
So this change implements suggestion #1 from Jeff's 2011 E-Mail[1],
"fetch" now only clobbers the tag if either "+" is provided as part of
the refspec, or if "--force" is provided on the command-line.
This also makes it nicely symmetrical with how "tag" itself works when
creating tags. I.e. we refuse to clobber any existing tags unless
"--force" is supplied. Now we can refuse all such clobbering, whether
it would happen by clobbering a local tag with "tag", or by fetching
it from the remote with "fetch".
Ref updates outside refs/{tags,heads/* are still still not symmetrical
with how "git push" works, as discussed in the recently changed
pull-fetch-param.txt documentation. This change brings the two
divergent behaviors more into line with one another. I don't think
there's any reason "fetch" couldn't fully converge with the behavior
used by "push", but that's a topic for another change.
One of the tests added in 31b808a032 ("clone --single: limit the fetch
refspec to fetched branch", 2012-09-20) is being changed to use
--force where a clone would clobber a tag. This changes nothing about
the existing behavior of the test.

builtin-fetch option parsing to use parse_options().", 2007-12-04).

This is the partner patch to the previous one, but covering
the "hash" variants instead of "oid". Note that our
coccinelle rule is slightly more complex to avoid triggering
the call in hasheq().
I didn't bother to add a new rule to convert:
- hasheq(E1->hash, E2->hash)
+ oideq(E1, E2)
Since these are new functions, there won't be any such
existing callers. And since most of the code is already
using oideq, we're not likely to introduce new ones.
We might still see "!hashcmp(E1->hash, E2->hash)" from topics
in flight. But because our new rule comes after the existing
ones, that should first get converted to "!oidcmp(E1, E2)"
and then to "oideq(E1, E2)".

Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

"git fetch" sometimes failed to update the remote-tracking refs,
which has been corrected.

fetch-pack: unify ref in and out param
The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to
limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git
fetch $remote branch:branch" that asks tags that point into the
history leading to the "branch" automatically followed sent to
narrow prefix and broke the tag following, which has been fixed.
