4d00bda2aa make the pack index version configurable
It is a good idea to use pack index version 2 all the time since it has
proper protection against propagation of certain pack corruptions when
repacking which is not possible with index version 1, as demonstrated
in test t5302.

Hence this config option.

The default is still pack index version 1.

2e13e5d892 Merge branch 'master' into db/fetch-pack
There's a number of tricky conflicts between master and
this topic right now due to the rewrite of builtin-push.
Junio must have handled these via rerere; I'd rather not
deal with them again so I'm pre-merging master into the
topic.  Besides this topic somehow started to depend on
the strbuf series that was in next, but is now in master.
It no longer compiles on its own without the strbuf API.

aec7b362ad git-merge: add support for branch.<name>.mergeoptions
This enables per branch configuration of merge options. Currently, the most
useful options to specify per branch are --squash, --summary/--no-summary
and possibly --strategy, but all options are supported.

Note: Options containing whitespace will _not_ be handled correctly. Luckily,
the only option which can include whitespace is --message and it doesn't
make much sense to give that option a default value.

b888d61c83 Make fetch a builtin
Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian
Phillips for the original C translation.

This changes a few small bits of behavior:

branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.

branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.

Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

17815501a8 git-gc --auto: run "repack -A -d -l" as necessary.
This teaches "git-gc --auto" to consolidate many packs into one
without losing unreachable objects in them by using "repack -A"
when there are too many packfiles that are not marked with *.keep
in the repository.  gc.autopacklimit configuration can be used
to set the maximum number of packs a repository is allowed to
have before this mechanism kicks in.

aecbf914c4 git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour
The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea.  It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.

This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.

By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output.  At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user.  In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.

The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

6f084a56fc branch --track: code cleanup and saner handling of local branches
This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a
cleaner version, using code from remote.[ch], which got extended a
little in the process.  This also enables us to fix two cases:

The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started
with "refs/remotes" is wrong.  You are absolutely allowed to use a
separate layout for your tracking branches.  The correct fix, of course,
is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching
remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon.

Another corner case was not handled properly.  If two remotes write to
the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

4017761fd8 branch.autosetupmerge: allow boolean values, or "all"
Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started
cluttering the config for local branches.  That is not the original
intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for
convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics
got lost somewhere.

If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch
branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all".  Otherwise, it is interpreted
as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching
off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

b4372ef136 Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabled
Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache.  That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.

So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.

If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection
of the directory .git/rr-cache.

9378c16135 Add core.quotepath configuration variable.
We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using
C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not
handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother).
The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this
purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote
and backslash.

However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit
range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because
we were being cautious.

This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and
core.quotepath configuration variable to control it.  When set
to false, it does not quote bytes in high 8-bit range anymore
but passes them intact.

The variable defaults to "true" to retain the traditional
behaviour for now.

892c41b98a introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work tree
setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.

The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option).  Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.

setup_gdg does the following now:

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
    parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
    GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored

GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
    GIT_DIR is set to cwd
    see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
    also see the note below

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
    cwd is used as work tree

GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
    the specified work tree is used

Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
    GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
    I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
    times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
    setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.

Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:

(1) is_bare_repository
    A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
    unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
    named .git).  The bare option disables a few protective
    checks which are useful with a working tree.  Currently
    this changes if a repository is bare:
        updates of HEAD are allowed
        git gc packs the refs
        the reflog is disabled by default

(2) is_inside_work_tree
    True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
    is one), false otherwise.

(3) is_inside_git_dir
    True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
    Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
    repositories.

When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called.  This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.

inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository.  The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

information on the gitignore format.

Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor
out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to
.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands.  Reference
gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation.  Remove
now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving
only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what

074b2eea29 git-pack-objects: cache small deltas between big objects
Creating deltas between big blobs is a CPU and memory intensive task.
In the writing phase, all (not reused) deltas are redone.

This patch adds support for caching deltas from the deltifing phase, so
that that the writing phase is faster.

The caching is limited to small deltas to avoid increasing memory usage very much.
The implemented limit is (memory needed to create the delta)/1024.

0d7566a5ba Add --aggressive option to 'git gc'
This option causes 'git gc' to more aggressively optimize the
repository at the cost of taking much more wall clock and CPU time.

Today this option causes git-pack-objects to use --no-use-delta
option, and it allows the --window parameter to be set via the
gc.aggressiveWindow configuration parameter.

960ccca680 Custom compression levels for objects and packs
Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.

Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.  This is the "pack compression level".

Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules,  or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true.  Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.

Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes,  since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.

In either case,  the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level,  instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.

This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre:
[PATCH] allow for undeltified objects not to be reused
[PATCH] make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"

726f852b0e deprecate the new loose object header format
Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.

Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.

This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

18bdec1118 Limit the size of the new delta_base_cache
The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas.  This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.

We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal.  Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.

On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.

We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache.  These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

9debc3241b git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like

        [remote "local"]
                url = .
                fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names.  The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.

To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'.  In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations.  In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.

The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created.  Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

78a8d641c1 Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.

This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system.  A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).

Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

d67778eccd Allow the tag signing key to be specified in the config file
I did this:

  $ git tag -s test-sign
  gpg: skipped "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>": secret key not available
  gpg: signing failed: secret key not available
  failed to sign the tag with GPG.

The problem is that I have used the comment field in my key's UID
definition.

  $ gpg --list-keys andy
  pub   1024D/4F712F6D 2003-08-14
  uid                  Andy Parkins (Google) <andyparkins@gmail.com>

So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>";
obviously it's not going to be found.

There shouldn't be a requirement that I use the same form of my name in
my git repository and my gpg key - I might want to be formal (Andrew) in
my gpg key and informal (Andy) in the repository.  Further I might have
multiple keys in my keyring, and might want to use one that doesn't
match up with the address I use in commit messages.

This patch adds a configuration entry "user.signingkey" which, if
present, will be passed to the "-u" switch for gpg, allowing the tag
signing key to be overridden.  If the entry is not present, the fallback
is the original method, which means existing behaviour will continue
untouched.

and this change makes it so.  I think level 3 is probably pointless
as its only one line of output above level 2, but I can see how some

22bac0ea52 Increase packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} on 64 bit systems.
If we have a 64 bit address space we can easily afford to commit
a larger amount of virtual address space to pack file access.
So on these platforms we should increase the default settings of
core.packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} to something that will better
handle very large projects.

Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for pointing out that we can safely
increase these defaults on such systems.

60bb8b1453 Fully activate the sliding window pack access.
This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.

We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset.  This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.

In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window.  This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.

I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing.  We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

77ccc5bbd1 Introduce new config option for mmap limit.
Rather than hardcoding the maximum number of bytes which can be
mmapped from pack files we should make this value configurable,
allowing the end user to increase or decrease this limit on a
per-repository basis depending on the size of the repository
and the capabilities of their operating system.

In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level
setting within the core code, but being able to artifically limit
the number of bytes which we can mmap at once from pack files will
make it easier to craft test cases for the new mmap sliding window
implementation.

It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a
different encoding from i18n.commitencoding -- the project's
policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8).  Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.

The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

82dca84871 Align section headers of 'git status' to new 'git add'.
Now that 'git add' is considered a first-class UI for 'update-index'
and that the 'git add' documentation states "Even modified files
must be added to the set of changes about to be committed" we should
make the output of 'git status' align with that documentation and
common usage.

So now we see a status output such as:

  # Added but not yet committed:
  #   (will commit)
  #
  #       new file: x
  #
  # Changed but not added:
  #   (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit)
  #
  #       modified:   x
  #
  # Untracked files:
  #   (use "git add" on files to include for commit)
  #
  #       y

which just reads better in the context of using 'git add' to
manipulate a commit (and not a checkin, whatever the heck that is).

We also now support 'color.status.added' as an alias for the existing
'color.status.updated', as this alias more closely aligns with the
current output and documentation.

0bee591869 Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory.
New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).

So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:

  [core]
    logAllRefUpdates = false

in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.

We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.

Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are
likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing
they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects'
lost+found features.

a159ca0cb7 Allow subcommand.color and color.subcommand color configuration
While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches.  The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.

This patch does the same thing for
  - git-log (color.diff)
  - git-status (color.status)
  - git-diff (color.diff)
  - pager (color.pager)

I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions.  I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.

Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I
don't like to change unilaterally.

fc04c412d8 Teach receive-pack how to keep pack files based on object count.
Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects
should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack
to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
--fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the
number of objects contained in the received pack.

If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is
below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default)
then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.

If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and
ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it
easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository.

Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack.  We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small.  Instead we
want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have
been updated.  That is being left as room for future improvement.

93821bd97a sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.

A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.

Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.
core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes
the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

b68ea12e30 diff.c: respect diff.renames config option
diff.renames is mentioned several times in the documentation,
but to my surprise it didn't do anything before this patch.

Also add the --no-renames option to override this from the
command-line.

12f6c308d5 Make zlib compression level configurable, and change default.
With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about
twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in
object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable
when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster.

The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9]
which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9
being slowest.

3742506578 Some doc typo fixes
All should be clear enough, except perhaps committish / commitish.
I just kept the more-used one within the current docs.

 on the list]

6de08ae688 Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref>
If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed.  Each log line contains
the following information:

  oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>

where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format.  If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.

An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.

1ab661ddb7 Document the configuration file
This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config
and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core
porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format.

It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1).
