Implement the configuration skipFetchAll option to allow
certain remotes to be skipped when doing 'git fetch --all' and
'git remote update'. The existing skipDefaultUpdate variable
is still honored (by 'git fetch --all' and 'git remote update').
(If both are set in the configuration file with different values,
the value of the last occurrence will be used.)

16679e373f Teach the --multiple option to 'git fetch'
Add the --multiple option to specify that all arguments are either
groups or remotes. The primary reason for adding this option is
to allow us to re-implement 'git remote update' using fetch.

It would have been nice if this option was not needed, but since
the colon in a refspec is optional, it is in general not possible
to know whether a single, colon-less argument is a remote or a
refspec.

9c4a036b34 Teach the --all option to 'git fetch'
'git remote' is meant for managing remotes and 'git fetch' is meant
for actually fetching data from remote repositories. Therefore, it is
not logical that you must use 'git remote update' to fetch from
more than one repository at once.

Add the --all option to 'git fetch', to tell it to attempt to fetch
from all remotes. Also, if --all is not given, the <repository>
argument is allowed to be the name of a group, to allow fetching
from all repositories in the group.

Other options except -v and -q are silently ignored.

e62b393505 Show usage string for 'git show-ref -h'
This only changes the behavior of "git show-ref -h" without any
other options and arguments.

"show-ref -h" currently is short for "show-ref --head", which
shows all the refs/* and HEAD, as opposed to "show-ref" that
shows all the refs/* and not HEAD.

Does anybody use "show-ref -h"?  It was in Linus's original, most
likely only because "it might be handy", not because "the command
should not show the HEAD by default for such and such reasons".
So I think it is okay if "show-ref -h" (but not "show-ref
--head") gives help and exits.

If a current script uses "git show-ref -h" without any other
arguments, it would have to be adapted by changing "-h" to
"--head".

This change is strictly about 'git merge-ours -h' without

This change cannot break compatibility since merge drivers are

6e9daeffec Show usage string for 'git commit-tree -h'
Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than a "Not a
valid object name" error.

"commit-tree -h" could be asking to create a new commit from a
treeish named "-h".  Strictly speaking, such a pathological ref
name is possible, but the user would have to had said something
like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological already.  commit-tree
is usually used in scripts with raw object ids, anyway.

For consistency, the "-h" option uses its new meaning even if
followed by other arguments.

fef34270f2 Show usage string for 'git cherry -h'
Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than an
"Unknown commit -h" error.

"cherry -h" could be asking to compare histories that leads to
our HEAD and a commit that can be named as "-h".  Strictly
speaking, that may be a valid refname, but the user would have to
say something like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological ref
already, so it is not such a big deal.

The "-h" option keeps its meaning even if preceded by other
options or followed by other arguments.  This keeps the
command-line syntax closer to what parse_options would give and
supports shell aliases like 'alias cherry="git cherry -v"' a
little better.

203666352f t5551-http-fetch: Work around broken Accept header in libcurl
Unfortunately at least one version of libcurl has a bug causing
it to include "Accept: */*" in the same POST request where we have
already asked for "Accept: application/x-git-upload-pack-response".

This is a bug in libcurl, not Git, or our test vector.  The
application has explicitly asked the server for a single content
type, but libcurl has mistakenly also told the server the client
application will accept */*, which is any content type.

Based on the libcurl change log, this "Accept: */*" header bug
may have been fixed in version 7.18.1 released March 30, 2008:

  http://curl.haxx.se/changes.html#7_18_1

Rather than require users to upgrade libcurl we change the test
vector to trim this line out of the 2nd request.

0a8fcbdca2 t5551-http-fetch: Work around some libcurl versions
Some versions of libcurl report their output when GIT_CURL_VERBOSE
is set differently than other versions do.  At least one variant
(version unknown but likely pre-7.18.1) reports the POST payload to
stderr, and omits the blank line after each HTTP request/response.
We clip these lines out of the stderr output now before doing the
compare, so we aren't surprised by this trivial difference.

34b6cb8bb0 http-backend: Protect GIT_PROJECT_ROOT from /../ requests
Eons ago HPA taught git-daemon how to protect itself from /../
attacks, which Junio brought back into service in d79374c7b5
("daemon.c and path.enter_repo(): revamp path validation").

I did not carry this into git-http-backend as originally we relied
only upon PATH_TRANSLATED, and assumed the HTTP server had done
its access control checks to validate the resolved path was within
a directory permitting access from the remote client.  This would
usually be sufficient to protect a server from requests for its
/etc/passwd file by http://host/smart/../etc/passwd sorts of URLs.

However in 917adc0360 Mark Lodato added GIT_PROJECT_ROOT as an
additional method of configuring the CGI.  When this environment
variable is used the web server does not generate the final access
path and therefore may blindly pass through "/../etc/passwd"
in PATH_INFO under the assumption that "/../" might have special
meaning to the invoked CGI.

Instead of permitting these sorts of malformed path requests, we
now reject them back at the client, with an error message for the
server log.  This matches git-daemon behavior.

b629275fd0 gitweb: Smarter snapshot names
Teach gitweb how to produce nicer snapshot names by only using the
short hash id.  If clients make requests using a tree-ish that is not
a partial or full SHA-1 hash, then the short hash will also be appended
to whatever they asked for.  If clients request snapshot of a tag
(which means that $hash ('h') parameter has 'refs/tags/' prefix),
use only tag name.

Update tests cases in t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output.

Gitweb uses the following format for snapshot filenames:
  <sanitized project name>-<version info>.<snapshot suffix>
where <sanitized project name> is project name with '.git' or '/.git'
suffix stripped, unless '.git' is the whole project name.  For
snapshot prefix it uses:
  <sanitized project name>-<version info>/
as compared to <sanitized project name>/ before (without version info).

Current rules for <version info>:
* if 'h' / $hash parameter is SHA-1 or shortened SHA-1, use SHA-1
  shortened to to 7 characters
* otherwise if 'h' / $hash parameter is tag name (it begins with
  'refs/tags/' prefix, use tag name (with 'refs/tags/' stripped
* otherwise if 'h' / $hash parameter starts with 'refs/heads/' prefix,
  strip this prefix, convert '/' into '.', and append shortened SHA-1
  after '-', i.e. use <sanitized hash>-<shortened sha1>

3ce9450a81 gitweb: Document current snapshot rules via new tests
Add t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output test script, which runs
gitweb as a CGI script from the commandline and checks that it
produces the correct output.

Currently this test script contains only tests of snapshot naming
(proposed name of snapshot file) and snapshot prefix (prefix of files
in the archive / snapshot).  It defines and uses 'tar' snapshot
format, without compression, for easy checking of snapshot prefix.
Testing is done using check_snapshot function.

Gitweb uses the following format for snapshot filenames:
  <sanitized project name>-<hash parameter><snapshot suffix>
where <sanitized project name> is project name with '.git' or '/.git'
suffix stripped, unless '.git' is the whole project name.  For
snapshot prefix it uses simply:
  <sanitized project name>/

Disadvantages of current snapshot rules:
* There exists convention that <basename>.<suffix> archive unpacks to
  <basename>/ directory (<basename>/ is prefix of archive).  Gitweb
  does not respect it
* Snapshot links generated by gitweb use full SHA-1 id as a value of
  'h' / $hash parameter.  With current rules it leads to long file
  names like e.g. repo-1005c80cc11c531d327b12195027cbbb4ff9e3cb.tgz
* For handcrafted URLs, where 'h' / $hash parameter is a symbolic
  'volatile' revision name such as "HEAD" or "next" snapshot name
  doesn't tell us what exact version it was created from
* Proposed filename in Content-Disposition header should not contain
  any directory path information, which means that it should not
  contain '/' (see RFC2183)... which means that snapshot naming is
  broken for $hash being e.g. hirearchical branch name such as
  'xx/test'

This would be improved in next commit.

This patch adds an asciidoc version of the "Fighting regressions with

2009 (http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009).

This paper might be interesting to people who want to learn as much as

The slides of the related presentation are available at:

http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009/slides/fighting_regressions_with_git_bisect_christian_couder.pdf

But the Linux Kongress people will not publish this paper online because
they print the papers on their UpTimes magazine
(http://www.lob.de/isbn/978-3-86541-358-1). But they don't take away the
rights of the author (which is very nice), so I have the right to publish
it.

1d46f2ea14 format-patch: make "-p" suppress diffstat
Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat
plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the
command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would
suppress the stat and show just the patch.

Commit 68daa64 changed this to keep the stat format when we
had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side
effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now
ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason
that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse).

This patch unbreaks what 68daa64 did (while still preserving
what 68daa64 was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress
the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves
in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly.

7da4e2280c test smart http fetch and push
The top level directory "/smart/" of the test Apache server is mapped
through our git-http-backend CGI, but uses the same underlying
repository space as the server's document root.  This is the most
simple installation possible.

Server logs are checked to verify the client has accessed only the
smart URLs during the test.  During fetch testing the headers are
also logged from libcurl to ensure we are making a reasonably sane
HTTP request, and getting back reasonably sane response headers
from the CGI.

When validating the request headers used during smart fetch we munge
away the actual Content-Length and replace it with the placeholder
"xxx".  This avoids unnecessary varability in the test caused by
an unrelated change in the requested capabilities in the first want
line of the request.  However, we still want to look for and verify
that Content-Length was used, because smaller payloads should be
using Content-Length and not "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".

When validating the server response headers we must discard both
Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding, as Apache2 can use either
format to return our response.

During development of this test I observed Apache returning both
forms, depending on when the processes got CPU time.  If our CGI
returned the pack data quickly, Apache just buffered the whole
thing and returned a Content-Length.  If our CGI took just a bit
too long to complete, Apache flushed its buffer and instead used
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked".

To clarify what part of the HTTP transprot is being tested we change
the URLs used by existing tests to include /dumb/ at the start,
indicating they use the non-Git aware code paths.

b8538603a3 Smart HTTP fetch: gzip requests
The upload-pack requests are mostly plain text and they compress
rather well.  Deflating them with Content-Encoding: gzip can easily
drop the size of the request by 50%, reducing the amount of data
to transfer as we negotiate the common commits.

249b2004d8 Smart fetch over HTTP: client side
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-upload-pack service, and if so, runs git-fetch-pack locally
in a pipe to generate the want/have commands.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-fetch-pack before the POST request
starts, permitting server capability discovery and enablement.

Common objects that are discovered are appended onto the request as
have lines and are sent again on the next request.  This allows the
remote side to reinitialize its in-memory list of common objects
during the next request.

Because all requests are relatively short, below git-remote-curl's
1 MiB buffer limit, requests will use the standard Content-Length
header and be valid HTTP/1.0 POST requests.  This makes the fetch
client more tolerant of proxy servers which don't support HTTP/1.1
or the chunked transfer encoding.

de1a2fdd38 Smart push over HTTP: client side
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts.  This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.

For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image).  The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.

For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

97cc7bc45c Discover refs via smart HTTP server when available
Instead of loading the cached info/refs, try to use the smart HTTP
version when the server supports it.  Since the smart variant is
actually the pkt-line stream from the start of either upload-pack
or receive-pack we need to parse these through get_remote_heads,
which requires a background thread to feed its pipe.
