In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in
a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O
error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow
an error packet to be sent instead of any packet.
Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a
request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server
cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection
without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be
more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets
as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected
EOF.
Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is
moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses
pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of
Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an
error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet
handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code
considering this.

Asciidoctor removes the indentation of each line in these tables, so the
last lines of each table have a completely broken alignment.
Similar to 379805051d ("Documentation: render revisions correctly under
Asciidoctor", 2018-05-06), use an explicit literal block to indicate
that we want to keep the leading whitespace in the tables.
Because this gives us some extra indentation, we can remove the one that
we have been carrying explicitly. That is, drop the first four spaces of
indentation on each line. With Asciidoc (8.6.10), this results in
identical rendering before and after this commit, both for git-status.1

The -G<regex> option of log looks for the differences whose patch text
contains added/removed lines that match regex.
Currently -G looks also into patches of binary files (which
according to [1]) is binary as well.
This has a couple of issues:
- It makes the pickaxe search slow. In a proprietary repository of the
author with only ~5500 commits and a total .git size of ~300MB
searching takes ~13 seconds
$time git log -Gwave > /dev/null
real 0m13,241s
user 0m12,596s
sys 0m0,644s
whereas when we ignore binary files with this patch it takes ~4s
$time ~/devel/git/git log -Gwave > /dev/null
real 0m3,713s
user 0m3,608s
sys 0m0,105s
which is a speedup of more than fourfold.
- The internally used algorithm for generating patch text is based on
xdiff and its states in [1]
> The output format of the binary patch file is proprietary
> (and binary) and it is basically a collection of copy and insert
> commands [..]
which means that the current format could change once the internal
algorithm is changed as the format is not standardized. In addition
the git binary patch format used for preparing patches for git apply
is *different* from the xdiff format as can be seen by comparing

If a user explicitly sets
[index]
threads = true
to read the index using multiple threads, ensure that index writes
include the offset table by default to make that possible. This
ensures that the user's intent of turning on threading is respected.
In other words, permit the following configurations:
- index.threads and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified: do not write
the offset table yet (to avoid alarming the user with "ignoring IEOT
extension" messages when an older version of Git accesses the
repository) but do make use of multiple threads to read the index if
the supporting offset table is present.
This can also be requested explicitly by setting index.threads=true,
0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable=false.
- index.threads=false or 1: do not write the offset table, and do not
make use of the offset table.
One can set index.recordOffsetTable=false as well, to be more
explicit.
- index.threads=true, 0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified:
write the offset table and make use of threads at read time.
This can also be requested by setting index.threads=true, 0, >1, or
unspecified and index.recordOffsetTable=true.
Fortunately the complication is temporary: once most Git installations
have upgraded to a version with support for the IEOT and EOIE
extensions, we can flip the defaults for index.recordEndOfIndexEntries
and index.recordOffsetTable to true and eliminate the settings.

we can't be certain about that. Not until match_pathspec_attrs() can

Knowing the original names (hashes) of commits can sometimes enable
post-filtering that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. In
particular, the desire to rewrite commit messages which refer to other
prior commits (on top of whatever other filtering is being done) is
very difficult without knowing the original names of each commit.
In addition, knowing the original names (hashes) of blobs can allow
filtering by blob-id without requiring re-hashing the content of the
blob, and is thus useful as a small optimization.
Once we add original ids for both commits and blobs, we may as well
add them for tags too for completeness. Perhaps someone will have a
use for them.
This commit teaches a new --show-original-ids option to fast-export
which will make it add a 'original-oid <hash>' line to blob, commits,
and tags. It also teaches fast-import to parse (and ignore) such
lines.

git filter-branch has a nifty feature allowing you to rewrite, e.g. just
the last 8 commits of a linear history
git filter-branch $OPTIONS HEAD~8..HEAD
If you try the same with git fast-export, you instead get a history of
only 8 commits, with HEAD~7 being rewritten into a root commit. There
are two alternatives:
1) Don't use the negative revision specification, and when you're
filtering the output to make modifications to the last 8 commits,
just be careful to not modify any earlier commits somehow.
2) First run 'git fast-export --export-marks=somefile HEAD~8', then
run 'git fast-export --import-marks=somefile HEAD~8..HEAD'.
Both are more error prone than I'd like (the first for obvious reasons;
with the second option I have sometimes accidentally included too many
revisions in the first command and then found that the corresponding
extra revisions were not exported by the second command and thus were
not modified as I expected). Also, both are poor from a performance
perspective.
Add a new --reference-excluded-parents option which will cause
fast-export to refer to commits outside the specified rev-list-args
range by their sha1sum. Such a stream will only be useful in a
repository which already contains the necessary commits (much like the
restriction imposed when using --no-data).
Note from Peff:
I think we might be able to do a little more optimization here. If
we're exporting HEAD^..HEAD and there's an object in HEAD^ which is
unchanged in HEAD, I think we'd still print it (because it would not
be marked SHOWN), but we could omit it (by walking the tree of the
boundary commits and marking them shown). I don't think it's a
blocker for what you're doing here, but just a possible future
optimization.

All config extensions are described in technical/repository-version.txt.
I made a mistake of adding it in config.txt instead. This patch moves
it back to where it belongs.
Since repository-version.txt is not part of officially generated
documents (it's not even part of DOC_HTML target), it's only visible
to developers who read plain .txt files. Let's include it in
gitrepository-layout.5 for more visibility. Some minor asciidoc fixes
are required in repository-version.txt to make this happen.

Document the DWYM behavior that kicks in when pushing to an
unqualified <dst> reference.
This behavior was added in f88395ac23 ("Renaming push.", 2005-08-03)
and f8aae12034 ("push: allow unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM",
2008-04-23), and somewhat documented in bb9fca80ce ("git-push: Update
description of refspecs and add examples", 2007-06-09), but has never
been fully documented.
The closest we got to having documented it was the description in the

this documentation.

Add an advice to the recently improved error message added in
f8aae12034 ("push: allow unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM",
2008-04-23).
Now with advice.pushUnqualifiedRefName=true (on by default) we show a
hint about how to proceed:
$ ./git-push avar v2.19.0^{commit}:newbranch -n
error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:
- Looking for a ref that matches 'newbranch' on the remote side.
- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('v2.19.0^{commit}')
is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.
Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
hint: The <src> part of the refspec is a commit object.
hint: Did you mean to create a new branch by pushing to
hint: 'v2.19.0^{commit}:refs/heads/newbranch'?
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:avar/git.git'
When trying to push a tag, tree or a blob we suggest that perhaps the
user meant to push them to refs/tags/ instead.
The if/else duplication for all of OBJ_{COMMIT,TAG,TREE,BLOB} is
unfortunate, but is required to correctly mark the messages for
translation. See the discussion in

When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when
certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior
otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the
conditions to turn
git checkout frotz
to
git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz
is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to
expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there
happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz"
file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2]
and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3].
We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple
"right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide.
Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate:
- "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo"
- "git checkout foo --" will dwim and create branch "foo" [4]
For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this
particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just
fail. But it could be used by scripts.

The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what

In WM_PATHNAME mode (or FNM_PATHNAME), '*' does not match '/' and '**'
can but only in three patterns:
- '**/' matches zero or more leading directories
- '/**/' matches zero or more directories in between
- '/**' matches zero or more trailing directories/files
When '**' is present but not in one of these patterns, the current
behavior is consider the pattern invalid and stop matching. In other
words, 'foo**bar' never matches anything, whatever you throw at it.
This behavior is arguably a bit confusing partly because we can't
really tell the user their pattern is invalid so that they can fix
it. So instead, tolerate it and make '**' act like two regular '*'s
(which is essentially the same as a single asterisk). This behavior
seems more predictable.

This adds support for a new http.schannelCheckRevoke config value.
This config value is only used if http.sslBackend is set to "schannel",
which forces cURL to use the Windows Certificate Store when validating
server certificates associated with a remote server.
This config value should only be set to "false" if you are in an
environment where revocation checks are blocked by the network, with
no alternative options.
This is only supported in cURL 7.44 or later.
Note: originally, we wanted to call the config setting
`http.schannel.checkRevoke`. This, however, does not work: the `http.*`
config settings can be limited to specific URLs via `http.<url>.*`
(and this feature would mistake `schannel` for a URL).

One of the problems with multiple worktree is accessing per-worktree
refs of one worktree from another worktree. This was sort of solved by
multiple ref store, where the code can open the ref store of another
worktree and has access to the ref space of that worktree.
The problem with this is reporting. "HEAD" in another ref space is
also called "HEAD" like in the current ref space. In order to
differentiate them, all the code must somehow carry the ref store
around and print something like "HEAD from this ref store".
But that is not feasible (or possible with a _lot_ of work). With the
current design, we pass a reference around as a string (so called
"refname"). Extending this design to pass a string _and_ a ref store
is a nightmare, especially when handling extended SHA-1 syntax.
So we do it another way. Instead of entering a separate ref space, we
make refs from other worktrees available in the current ref space. So
"HEAD" is always HEAD of the current worktree, but then we can have
"worktrees/blah/HEAD" to denote HEAD from a worktree named
"blah". This syntax coincidentally matches the underlying directory
structure which makes implementation a bit easier.
The main worktree has to be treated specially because well... it's
special from the beginning. So HEAD from the main worktree is
acccessible via the name "main-worktree/HEAD" instead of
"worktrees/main/HEAD" because "main" could be just another secondary
worktree.
This patch also makes it possible to specify refs from one worktree in
another one, e.g.
git log worktrees/foo/HEAD

A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it

When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.

"git help -a" and "git help -av" give different pieces of
information, and generally the "verbose" version is more friendly
to the new users. "git help -a" by default now uses the more
verbose output (with "--no-verbose", you can go back to the
original). Also "git help -av" now lists aliases and external
commands, which it did not used to.

When rerolling a patch series, including various Reviewed-by etc. that
may have come in, it is quite convenient to have git-send-email

So pick up any *-by lines, with a new suppression category 'misc-by',
but special-case Signed-off-by, since that already has its own
suppression category. It seems natural to make 'misc-by' implied by

The previous git-p4 unshelve support would check for changes
in Perforce to the files being unshelved since the original
shelve, and would complain if any were found.
This was to ensure that the user wouldn't end up with both the
shelved change delta, and some deltas from other changes in their
git commit.
e.g. given fileA:
the
quick
brown
fox
change1: s/the/The/ <- p4 shelve this change
change2: s/fox/Fox/ <- p4 submit this change
git p4 unshelve 1 <- FAIL
This change teaches the P4Unshelve class to always create a parent
commit which matches the P4 tree (for the files being unshelved) at
the point prior to the P4 shelve being created (which is reported
in the p4 description for a shelved changelist).
That then means git-p4 can always create a git commit matching the
P4 shelve that was originally created, without any extra deltas.
The user might still need to use the --origin option though - there
is no way for git-p4 to work out the versions of all of the other
*unchanged* files in the shelve, since this information is not recorded
by Perforce.
Additionally this fixes handling of shelved 'move' operations.

The branch detection code looks for branches under refs/remotes/p4/...
and can end up getting confused if there are unshelved changes in
there as well. This happens in the function p4BranchesInGit().
Instead, put the unshelved changes into refs/remotes/p4-unshelved/<N>.

As of version 7.56.0, curl supports being compiled with multiple SSL
backends.
This patch adds the Git side of that feature: by setting http.sslBackend
to "openssl" or "schannel", Git for Windows can now choose the SSL
backend at runtime.
This comes in handy on Windows because Secure Channel ("schannel") is
the native solution, accessing the Windows Credential Store, thereby
allowing for enterprise-wide management of certificates. For historical
reasons, Git for Windows needs to support OpenSSL still, as it has
previously been the only supported SSL backend in Git for Windows for
almost a decade.
The patch has been carried in Git for Windows for over a year, and is
considered mature.

The 'edit' command can be used to cherry-pick a commit and then
immediately drop out of the interactive rebase, with exit code 0, to let
the user amend the commit, or test it, or look around.
Sometimes this functionality would come in handy *without*
cherry-picking a commit, e.g. to interrupt the interactive rebase even
before cherry-picking a commit, or immediately after an 'exec' or a
'merge'.
This commit introduces that functionality, as the spanking new 'break'
command.

Explicitly mention in the intro that we may be writing supplemental
data structures such as the commit-graph during "gc", i.e. to call out
the "optimize" part of what this command does, it doesn't just
"collect garbage" as the "gc" name might imply.
Past changes have updated the intro to reflect new commands, such as
mentioning "worktree" in b586a96a39 ("gc.txt: more details about what
gc does", 2018-03-15). So let's elaborate on what was added in
d5d5d7b641 ("gc: automatically write commit-graph files", 2018-06-27).

This patch enables addressing the CPU cost of loading the index by adding
additional data to the index that will allow us to efficiently multi-
thread the loading and conversion of cache entries.
It accomplishes this by adding an (optional) index extension that is a
table of offsets to blocks of cache entries in the index file. To make
this work for V4 indexes, when writing the cache entries, it periodically
"resets" the prefix-compression by encoding the current entry as if the
path name for the previous entry is completely different and saves the
offset of that entry in the IEOT. Basically, with V4 indexes, it
generates offsets into blocks of prefix-compressed entries.

Add support for a new index.threads config setting which will be used to
control the threading code in do_read_index(). A value of 0 will tell the
index code to automatically determine the correct number of threads to use.
A value of 1 will make the code single threaded. A value greater than 1
will set the maximum number of threads to use.
For testing purposes, this setting can be overwritten by setting the
GIT_TEST_INDEX_THREADS=<n> environment variable to a value greater than 0.

The End of Index Entry (EOIE) is used to locate the end of the variable
length index entries and the beginning of the extensions. Code can take
advantage of this to quickly locate the index extensions without having
to parse through all of the index entries.
The EOIE extension is always written out to the index file including to
the shared index when using the split index feature. Because it is always
written out, the SHA checksums in t/t1700-split-index.sh were updated
to reflect its inclusion.
It is written as an optional extension to ensure compatibility with other
git implementations that do not yet support it. It is always written out
to ensure it is available as often as possible to speed up index operations.
Because it must be able to be loaded before the variable length cache
entries and other index extensions, this extension must be written last.
The signature for this extension is { 'E', 'O', 'I', 'E' }.
The extension consists of:
- 32-bit offset to the end of the index entries
- 160-bit SHA-1 over the extension types and their sizes (but not
their contents). E.g. if we have "TREE" extension that is N-bytes
long, "REUC" extension that is M-bytes long, followed by "EOIE",
then the hash would be:
SHA-1("TREE" + <binary representation of N> +
"REUC" + <binary representation of M>)
