cee0c2750b Git 1.9.1
The version numbering scheme has changed since Git 1.9 and we
dropped the third dewey-decimal from the traditional numbering
(e.g. both 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 were major feature releases).  This
release 1.9.1 is the first maintenance relase for Git 1.9.

b790e0f67c upload-pack: send shallow info over stdin to pack-objects
Before cdab485 (upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to
pack-objects - 2013-08-16) upload-pack does not write to the source
repository. cdab485 starts to write $GIT_DIR/shallow_XXXXXX if it's a
shallow fetch, so the source repo must be writable.

git:// servers do not need write access to repos and usually don't
have it, which means cdab485 breaks shallow clone over git://

Instead of using a temporary file as the media for shallow points, we
can send them over stdin to pack-objects as well. Prepend shallow
SHA-1 with --shallow so pack-objects knows what is what.

ee34a2bead repack: add repack.packKeptObjects config var
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.

893a9764dc submodule update: consistently document the '--checkout' option
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.

7671b63211 add uploadarchive.allowUnreachable option
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.

9937e65d88 Documentation: describe 'submodule update --remote' use case
Make it clear that there is no implicit floating going on; --remote
lets you explicitly integrate the upstream branch in your current
HEAD (just like running 'git pull' in the submodule).  The only
distinction with the current 'git pull' is the config location and
setting used for the upstream branch, which is hopefully clear now.

23d25e48f5 submodule: explicit local branch creation in module_clone
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.

2df85669d1 Documentation: fix documentation AsciiDoc links for external urls
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.

(Documentation/git-pull: put verbosity options before merge/fetch

However, the latter did not have an intended effect, because the

On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the

	^[[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

ae4f07fbcc pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.

In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.

As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.

The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.

But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.

This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.

Here are perf results for p5310:

Test                      origin/master       HEAD^                      HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.2: repack to disk    36.81(37.82+1.43)   47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6%   47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7%
5310.3: simulated clone   30.78(29.70+2.14)   1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5%     1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5%
5310.4: simulated fetch   3.16(6.10+0.08)     3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0%    1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2%
5310.6: partial bitmap    36.76(43.19+1.81)   6.71(11.25+0.76) -81.7%    4.08(6.26+0.46) -88.9%

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

5cf2741c5a repack: consider bitmaps when performing repacks
Since `pack-objects` will write a `.bitmap` file next to the `.pack` and
`.idx` files, this commit teaches `git-repack` to consider the new
bitmap indexes (if they exist) when performing repack operations.

This implies moving old bitmap indexes out of the way if we are
repacking a repository that already has them, and moving the newly
generated bitmap indexes into the `objects/pack` directory, next to
their corresponding packfiles.

Since `git repack` is now capable of handling these `.bitmap` files,
a normal `git gc` run on a repository that has `pack.writebitmaps` set
to true in its config file will generate bitmap indexes as part of the
garbage collection process.

Alternatively, `git repack` can be called with the `-b` switch to
explicitly generate bitmap indexes if you are experimenting
and don't want them on all the time.

7cc8f97108 pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing
it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together
with the `.idx` index that currently gets written.

If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling
`pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having
`pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is
writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to
stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the
packfile.

Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been
successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is
performed in several steps:

    1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial
       checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be
       written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity

    2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of
       `struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out
       the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps
       (one for each object type).

       These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of
       the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be
       1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit.

       This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has
       access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array,
       and hence the real type for each object in the packfile.

    3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap
       index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call
       will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be
       reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored
       in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will
       prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly
       to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to
       fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a
       repository that already has bitmaps.

    4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for
       a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated
       during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array.

       We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits.
       Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository
       would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick
       the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps.

       The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's
       original implementation. We select a higher density of commits
       depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always
       selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap
       increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure
       that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips
       that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and
       when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the
       commit with the most parents.

       Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit
       selection; different selection algorithms will result in
       different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as
       "missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in
       `prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by
       performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal
       selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are
       more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g.
       the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them
       is always available.

    5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part
       of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were
       selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental
       walks to generate the bitmap for each commit.

       The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up
       incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B,
       C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk
       of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps.

            A---a---B--b--C--c--D
                     \
                      E--e--F

       We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a
       revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable
       until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the
       bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we
       reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already
       been SEEN on the previous walk.

       This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to
       generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk
       nor the bitmap we have generated so far.

       What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the
       bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the
       origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed.
       Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored
       for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed
       so far, allowing us to limit the walk early.

       After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration
       through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR
       offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of
       the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with
       its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the
       time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and
       then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when
       loaded.

       This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using
       bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics
       have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before
       any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good
       results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of
       the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile.

     6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is
	serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated
	in the two previous steps.

	The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to
	its final destination, using the same process as
	`pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

aa32939fea rev-list: add bitmap mode to speed up object lists
The bitmap reachability index used to speed up the counting objects
phase during `pack-objects` can also be used to optimize a normal
rev-list if the only thing required are the SHA1s of the objects during
the list (i.e., not the path names at which trees and blobs were found).

Calling `git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index [committish]` will
perform an object iteration based on a bitmap result instead of actually
walking the object graph.

These are some example timings for `torvalds/linux` (warm cache,
best-of-five):

    $ time git rev-list --objects master > /dev/null

    real    0m34.191s
    user    0m33.904s
    sys     0m0.268s

    $ time git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index master > /dev/null

    real    0m1.041s
    user    0m0.976s
    sys     0m0.064s

Likewise, using `git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index` will speed up
the counting operation by building the resulting bitmap and performing a
fast popcount (number of bits set on the bitmap) on the result.

Here are some sample timings of different ways to count commits in
`torvalds/linux`:

    $ time git rev-list master | wc -l
        399882

        real    0m6.524s
        user    0m6.060s
        sys     0m3.284s

    $ time git rev-list --count master
        399882

        real    0m4.318s
        user    0m4.236s
        sys     0m0.076s

    $ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count master
        399882

        real    0m0.217s
        user    0m0.176s
        sys     0m0.040s

This also respects negative refs, so you can use it to count
a slice of history:

        $ time git rev-list --count v3.0..master
        144843

        real    0m1.971s
        user    0m1.932s
        sys     0m0.036s

        $ time git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count v3.0..master
        real    0m0.280s
        user    0m0.220s
        sys     0m0.056s

Though note that the closer the endpoints, the less it helps. In the
traversal case, we have fewer commits to cross, so we take less time.
But the bitmap time is dominated by generating the pack revindex, which
is constant with respect to the refs given.

Note that you cannot yet get a fast --left-right count of a symmetric
difference (e.g., "--count --left-right master...topic"). The slow part
of that walk actually happens during the merge-base determination when
we parse "master...topic". Even though a count does not actually need to
know the real merge base (it only needs to take the symmetric difference
of the bitmaps), the revision code would require some refactoring to
handle this case.

Additionally, a `--test-bitmap` flag has been added that will perform
the same rev-list manually (i.e. using a normal revwalk) and using
bitmaps, and verify that the results are the same. This can be used to
exercise the bitmap code, and also to verify that the contents of the
.bitmap file are sane.

6b8fda2db1 pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).

For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:

  1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
     `upload-pack` would do).

  2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
     "have" objects that the client is asking for.

  3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
     disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
     `--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).

If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.

Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

    [existing graph traversal]
    $ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \
			    </dev/null >/dev/null
    Counting objects: 3237103, done.
    Compressing objects: 100% (508752/508752), done.
    Total 3237103 (delta 2699584), reused 3237103 (delta 2699584)

    real    0m44.111s
    user    0m42.396s
    sys     0m3.544s

    [bitmaps only, without partial pack reuse; note that
     pack reuse is automatic, so timing this required a
     patch to disable it]
    $ time git pack-objects --all --stdout </dev/null >/dev/null
    Counting objects: 3237103, done.
    Compressing objects: 100% (508752/508752), done.
    Total 3237103 (delta 2699584), reused 3237103 (delta 2699584)

    real    0m5.413s
    user    0m5.604s
    sys     0m1.804s

    [bitmaps with pack reuse (what you get with this patch)]
    $ time git pack-objects --all --stdout </dev/null >/dev/null
    Reusing existing pack: 3237103, done.
    Total 3237103 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

    real    0m1.636s

Two packfiles that contain the same set of objects have
traditionally been named identically, but that made repacking a

65ea9c3c3d cat-file: provide %(deltabase) batch format
It can be useful for debugging or analysis to see which
objects are stored as delta bases on top of others. This
information is available by running `git verify-pack`, but
that is extremely expensive (and is harder than necessary to
parse).

Instead, let's make it available as a cat-file query format,
which makes it fast and simple to get the bases for a subset
of the objects.

615b8f1a8d docs: add filter-branch notes on The BFG
The BFG is a tool specifically designed for the task of removing
unwanted data from Git repository history - a common use-case for which
git-filter-branch has been the traditional workhorse.

It's beneficial to let users know that filter-branch has an alternative
here:

* speed : The BFG is 10-50x faster
  http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#speed
* complexity of configuration : filter-branch is a very flexible tool,
  but demands very careful usage in order to get the desired results
  http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#examples

Obviously, filter-branch has it's advantages too - it permits very
complex rewrites, and doesn't require a JVM - but for the common
use-case of deleting unwanted data, it's helpful to users to be aware
that an alternative exists.

The BFG was released under the GPL in February 2013, and has since seen
widespread production use (The Guardian, RedHat, Google, UK Government
Digital Service), been tested against large repos (~300K commits, ~5GB
packfiles) and received significant positive feedback from users:
