quickfetch() calls rev-list to check whether the objects we are about to
fetch are already present in the repo (if so, we can skip the object fetch).
However, when there are many (~1000) refs to be fetched, the rev-list
command line grows larger than the maximum command line size on some systems
(32K in Windows). This causes rev-list to fail, making quickfetch() return
non-zero, which unnecessarily triggers the transport machinery. This somehow
causes fetch to fail with an exit code.
By using the --stdin option to rev-list (and feeding the object list to its
standard input), we prevent the overflow of the rev-list command line,
which causes quickfetch(), and subsequently the overall fetch, to succeed.
However, using rev-list --stdin is not entirely straightforward: rev-list
terminates immediately when encountering an unknown object, which can
trigger SIGPIPE if we are still writing object's to its standard input.
We therefore temporarily ignore SIGPIPE so that the fetch process is not
terminated.
The patch also contains a testcase to verify the fix (note that before
the patch, the testcase would only fail on msysGit).

When we fail to store a fetched ref, we recommend that the
user try running "git prune" to remove up any old refs that
have been deleted by the remote, which would clear up any DF
conflicts. However, ref storage might fail for other
reasons (e.g., permissions problems) in which case the
advice is useless and misleading.
This patch detects when there is an actual DF situation and
only issues the advice when one is found.

The fmt-merge-msg does a strong syntax checking of its input and fails
with if it is incorrect. The LF character is the only character
important for fmt-merge-msg. As the url in FETCH_HEAD plays only
informational role, a quoted representation of the url should be good
and true enough.
The url often comes from either user-editable config or command line,
so it is reasonable to expect all kinds of characters in it, including
the characters which the format of FETCH_HEAD considers special (line
separator in this case).

When pulling from a remote, the full URL including username

very little value but could be used by malicious people to
glean valid usernames (with matching hostnames), we're far
better off just stripping the username before storing the
remote URL locally.

When there's no explicitly-named remote, we use the remote specified
for the current branch, which in turn defaults to "origin". But it
this case should require the remote to actually be configured, and not
fall back to the path "origin".
Possibly, the config file's "remote = something" should require the
something to be a configured remote instead of a bare repository URL,
but we actually test with a bare repository URL.
In fetch, we were giving the sensible error message when coming up
with a URL failed, but this wasn't actually reachable, so move that
error up and use it when appropriate.
In push, we need a new error message, because the old one (formerly

The current code is very inconsistent about which signals

If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting
(e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual
strategy was to install a signal handler that did something
like this:
do_cleanup(); /* actual work */
signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */
raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */
For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want
to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem.
The most recently installed handler will run, but when it
removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first
handler.
This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling
a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler,
and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in
the stack.

Some confusing tutorials suggested that it would be a good idea to fetch
into the current branch with something like this:
git fetch origin master:master
(or even worse: the same command line with "pull" instead of "fetch").
While it might make sense to store what you want to pull, it typically is
plain wrong when the current branch is "master". This should only be
allowed when (an incorrect) "git pull origin master:master" tries to work
around by giving --update-head-ok to underlying "git fetch", and otherwise
we should refuse it, but somewhere along the lines we lost that behavior.
The check for the current branch is now _only_ performed in non-bare
repositories, which is an improvement from the original behaviour.
Some newer tests were depending on the broken behaviour of "git fetch"
this patch fixes, and have been adjusted.

There are basically two categories of update failures for
local refs:

2. D/F conflicts on tracking branch ref names
In either case, there should already have been an error
message. In case '1', hopefully enough information has
already been given that the user can fix it. In the case of
'2', we can hint that the user can clean up their tracking
branch area by using 'git remote prune'.
Note that we don't actually know _which_ case we have, so
the user will receive the hint in case 1, as well. In this

Previously, if there was an error while storing a local
tracking ref, the low-level functions would report an error,
but fetch's status output wouldn't indicate any problem.
E.g., imagine you have an old "refs/remotes/origin/foo/bar" but
upstream has deleted "foo/bar" in favor of a new branch
"foo". You would get output like this:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
* [new branch] foo -> origin/foo
With this patch, the output takes into account the status of
updating the local ref:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
! [new branch] foo -> origin/foo (unable to update local ref)

There was code in update_local_ref for handling this case,

On top of that, the display formatting was different from

We tightened the refspec validation code in an earlier commit ef00d15
(Tighten refspec processing, 2008-03-17) per my suggestion, but the
suggestion was misguided to begin with and it broke this usage:
$ git push origin HEAD~12:master
The syntax of push refspecs and fetch refspecs are similar in that they
are both colon separated LHS and RHS (possibly prefixed with a + to
force), but the similarity ends there. For example, LHS in a push refspec
can be anything that evaluates to a valid object name at runtime (except
when colon and RHS is missing, or it is a glob), while it must be a
valid-looking refname in a fetch refspec. To validate them correctly, the
caller needs to be able to say which kind of refspecs they are. It is
unreasonable to keep a single interface that cannot tell which kind it is
dealing with, and ask it to behave sensibly.
This commit separates the parsing of the two into different functions, and
clarifies the code to implement the parsing proper (i.e. splitting into
two parts, making sure both sides are wildcard or neither side is).
This happens to also allow pushing a commit named with the esoteric "look
for that string" syntax:

Prior to commit 8320199 (Rewrite builtin-fetch option parsing to use

but not identical to the pre commit 8320199 times.
Back then, -n always overrode --tags, so if both --tags and -n was
given on command-line, no tags were fetched regardless of argument
ordering. Now we use a "last entry wins" strategy, so '-n --tags'
means "fetch tags".
Since it's patently absurd to say both --tags and --no-tags, this
shouldn't matter in practice.

If the remote peer upload-pack process supports the include-tag

on the client side by letting the server send us the annotated tags
along with the objects it is packing for us. In the following graph
we can now fetch both "tag1" and "tag2" on the same connection that
we fetched "master" from the remote when we only have L available
on the local side:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - o ------ o ------ B
\ \

If the situation is the following on the remote and L is the common

\ \
origin/master master
and we have decided to fetch "master" to acquire the range L..B we
can also nab tag S at the same time during the first connection,
as we can clearly see from the refs advertised by upload-pack that
S^{} = B and master = B.
Unfortunately we still cannot nab T at the same time as we are not
able to see that T^{} will also be in the range implied by L..B.
Such computations must be performed on the remote side (not yet
supported) or on the client side as post-processing (the current
behavior).
This optimization is an extension of the previous one in that it
helps on projects which tend to publish both a new commit and a
new tag, then lay idle for a while before publishing anything else.
Most followers are able to download both the new commit and the new
tag in one connection, rather than two. git.git tends to follow
such patterns with its roughly once-daily updates from Junio.
A protocol extension and additional server side logic would be
necessary to also ensure T is grabbed on the first connection.

If autofollowing of tags is enabled, we see a new tag on the remote
that we don't have, and we already have the SHA-1 object that the
tag is peeled to, then we can fetch the tag while we are fetching
the other objects on the first connection.
This is a slight optimization for projects that have a habit of
tagging a release commit after most users have already seen and
downloaded that commit object through a prior fetch session. In
such cases the users may still find new objects in branch heads,
but the new tag will now also be part of the first pack transfer
and the subsequent connection to autofollow tags is not required.
Currently git.git does not benefit from this optimization as any
release usually gets a new commit at the same time that it gets a
new release tag, however git-gui.git and many other projects are
in the habit of tagging fairly old commits.
Users who did not already have the tagged commit still require
opening a second connection to autofollow the tag, as we are unable
to determine on the client side if $tag^{} will be sent to the
client during the first transfer or not. Such computation must be
performed on the remote side of the connection and is deferred to
another series of changes.
