Since "git fetch" learned "--all" and "--multiple" options, it has become
tempting for users to say "git pull --all". Even though it may fetch from
remotes that do not need to be fetched from for merging with the current
branch, it is handy.
"git fetch" however clears the list of fetched branches every time it
contacts a different remote. Unless the current branch is configured to
merge with a branch from a remote that happens to be the last in the list
of remotes that are contacted, "git pull" that fetches from multiple
remotes will not be able to find the branch it should be merging with.
Make "fetch" clear FETCH_HEAD (unless --append is given) and then append
the list of branches fetched to it (even when --append is not given). That
way, "pull" will be able to find the data for the branch being merged in
FETCH_HEAD no matter where the remote appears in the list of remotes to be
contacted by "git fetch".

If you have a branch.$X.merge config option, but no branch.$X.remote, and
your configuration tries to push tracking branches, git will segfault.
The problem is that even though branch->merge_nr is 1, you don't actually
have an upstream since there is no remote. Other callsites generally
check explicitly that branch->merge is not NULL, so let's do that here,
too.

All of these tests were bogus, as they created new directory and tried to
run "git pull" without even running "git init" in there. They were mucking
with the repository in $TEST_DIRECTORY.
While fixing it, modernize the style not to chdir around outside of
subshell. Otherwise a failed test will take us to an unexpected directory
and we need to chdir back to the test directory in each test, which is

When git am does an automatic gc it doesn't clean up the rebase-apply
directory until after this has finished. This means that if the user
aborts the gc then future am or rebase operations will report that an

When we look at a patch for adding hunks interactively, we
first split it into a header and a list of hunks. Some of
the header lines, such as mode changes and deletion, however,
become their own selectable hunks. Later when we reassemble
the patch, we simply concatenate the header and the selected
hunks. This leads to patches like this:
diff --git a/file b/file
index d95f3ad..0000000
--- a/file
+++ /dev/null
deleted file mode 100644
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-content
Notice how the deletion comes _after_ the ---/+++ lines,
when it should come before.
In many cases, we can get away with this as git-apply
accepts the slightly bogus input. However, in the specific
case of a deletion line that is being applied via "apply
-R", this malformed patch triggers an assert in git-apply.
This comes up when discarding a deletion via "git checkout
-p".
Rather than try to make git-apply accept our odd input,
let's just reassemble the patch in the correct order.

We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and
other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect
as a normal file creation with a umask.
But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of
the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according
to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and
doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of
actual group permission.
In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the
umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the
default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the
umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the
later chmod.

Pagers that do not consume their input are dangerous: for example,

$ echo $?

The only reason these tests were able to work before was that
'git log' would write to the pipe (and not fill it) before the
pager had time to terminate and close the pipe.

We don't want the data being deflated and stored into loose objects
to be different from what we expect. While the deflated data is
protected by a CRC which is good enough for safe data retrieval
operations, we still want to be doubly sure that the source data used
at object creation time is still what we expected once that data has
been deflated and its CRC32 computed.
The most plausible data corruption may occur if the source file is
modified while Git is deflating and writing it out in a loose object.
Or Git itself could have a bug causing memory corruption. Or even bad
RAM could cause trouble. So it is best to make sure everything is
coherent and checksum protected from beginning to end.
To do so we compute the SHA1 of the data being deflated _after_ the
deflate operation has consumed that data, and make sure it matches
with the expected SHA1. This way we can rely on the CRC32 checked by
the inflate operation to provide a good indication that the data is still
coherent with its SHA1 hash. One pathological case we ignore is when
the data is modified before (or during) deflate call, but changed back
before it is hashed.
There is some overhead of course. Using 'git add' on a set of large files:
Before:
real 0m25.210s
user 0m23.783s
sys 0m1.408s
After:
real 0m26.537s
user 0m25.175s
sys 0m1.358s
The overhead is around 5% for full data coherency guarantee.

There is no real advantage to malloc the whole output buffer and
deflate the data in a single pass when writing loose objects. That is
like only 1% faster while using more memory, especially with large
files where memory usage is far more. It is best to deflate and write
the data out in small chunks reusing the same memory instead.
For example, using 'git add' on a few large files averaging 40 MB ...

Testing pagination requires (fake or real) access to a terminal so we
can see whether the pagination automatically kicks in, which makes it
hard to get good coverage when running tests without --verbose. There
are a number of ways to work around that:
- Replace all isatty calls with calls to a custom xisatty wrapper
that usually checks for a terminal but can be overridden for tests.
This would be workable, but it would require implementing xisatty
separately in three languages (C, shell, and perl) and making sure
that any code that is to be tested always uses the wrapper.
- Redirect stdout to /dev/tty. This would be problematic because
there might be no terminal available, and even if a terminal is
available, it might not be appropriate to spew output to it.
- Create a new pseudo-terminal on the fly and capture its output.
This patch implements the third approach.
The new test-terminal.perl helper uses IO::Pty from Expect.pm to create
a terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments with
that terminal as stdout. If the IO::Pty module is missing or not
working on a system, the test script will maintain its old behavior
(skipping most of its tests unless GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

The --cherry-pick logic starts by counting the commits on each side,
so that it can filter away commits on the bigger one. However, so
far it missed an opportunity for optimization: it doesn't need to do
any work if either side is empty.

it internally uses --cherry-pick, but since HEAD~$n is a direct

Git’s automatic pagination support has some subtleties. Add some
tests to make sure we don’t break:
- when git will use a pager by default;
- the effect of the --paginate and --no-pager options;
- the effect of pagination on use of color;
- how the choice of pager is configured.
This does not yet test:
- use of pager by scripted commands (git svn and git am);
- effect of the pager.* configuration variables;
- setting of the LESS variable.
Some features involve checking whether stdout is a terminal, so many
of these tests are skipped unless output is passed through to the
terminal (i.e., unless $GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).
The immediate purpose for these tests was to avoid making things worse
after the breakage from my jn/editor-pager series (see commit 376f39,

is_utf8() works by calling utf8_width() for each character at the
supplied location. In strbuf_add_wrapped_text(), we do that anyway
while wrapping the lines. So instead of checking the encoding
beforehand, optimistically assume that it's utf-8 and wrap along
until an invalid character is hit, and when that happens start over.
This pays off if the text consists only of valid utf-8 characters.
The following command was run against the Linux kernel repo with
git 1.7.0:
$ time git log --format='%b' v2.6.32 >/dev/null
real 0m2.679s
user 0m2.580s
sys 0m0.100s
$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null
real 0m4.342s
user 0m4.230s

$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null
real 0m3.741s
user 0m3.630s

It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.
This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:
- most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer
paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
"refs/heads/").
- in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).
- In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).
