9f673f9477 gc: config option for running --auto in background
`gc --auto` takes time and can block the user temporarily (but not any
less annoyingly). Make it run in background on systems that support
it. The only thing lost with running in background is printouts. But
gc output is not really interesting. You can keep it in foreground by
changing gc.autodetach.

92251b1b5b Merge branch 'nd/shallow-clone'
Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden,
primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted
and we did not bother supporting such usage. This attempts to allow
object transfer out of a shallow-cloned repository in a controlled
way (i.e. the receiver become a shallow repository with truncated
history).

e54c1f2d25 pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:

	$ git diff
	^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
	^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m

"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default.  Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.

Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

ae4f07fbcc pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.

In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.

As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.

The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.

But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.

This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.

Here are perf results for p5310:

Test                      origin/master       HEAD^                      HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5310.3: simulated clone   30.78(29.70+2.14)   1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5%     1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5%
5310.4: simulated fetch   3.16(6.10+0.08)     3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0%    1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2%

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

7cc8f97108 pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing
it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together
with the `.idx` index that currently gets written.

If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling
`pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having
`pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is
writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to
stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the
packfile.

Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been
successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is
performed in several steps:

    1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial
       checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be
       written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity

    2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of
       `struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out
       the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps
       (one for each object type).

       These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of
       the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be
       1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit.

       This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has
       access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array,
       and hence the real type for each object in the packfile.

    3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap
       index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call
       will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be
       reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored
       in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will
       prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly
       to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to
       fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a
       repository that already has bitmaps.

    4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for
       a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated
       during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array.

       We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits.
       Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository
       would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick
       the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps.

       The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's
       original implementation. We select a higher density of commits
       depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always
       selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap
       increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure
       that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips
       that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and
       when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the
       commit with the most parents.

       Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit
       selection; different selection algorithms will result in
       different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as
       "missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in
       `prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by
       performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal
       selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are
       more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g.
       the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them
       is always available.

    5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part
       of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were
       selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental
       walks to generate the bitmap for each commit.

       The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up
       incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B,
       C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk
       of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps.

            A---a---B--b--C--c--D
                     \
                      E--e--F

       We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a
       revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable
       until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the
       bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we
       reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already
       been SEEN on the previous walk.

       This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to
       generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk
       nor the bitmap we have generated so far.

       What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the
       bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the
       origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed.
       Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored
       for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed
       so far, allowing us to limit the walk early.

       After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration
       through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR
       offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of
       the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with
       its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the
       time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and
       then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when
       loaded.

       This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using
       bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics
       have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before
       any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good
       results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of
       the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile.

     6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is
	serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated
	in the two previous steps.

	The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to
	its final destination, using the same process as
	`pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

6b8fda2db1 pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).

For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:

  1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
     `upload-pack` would do).

  2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
     "have" objects that the client is asking for.

  3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
     disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
     `--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).

If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.

Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

    [existing graph traversal]
    $ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \
			    </dev/null >/dev/null
    Counting objects: 3237103, done.

    real    0m44.111s
    user    0m42.396s
    sys     0m3.544s

    [bitmaps only, without partial pack reuse; note that
     pack reuse is automatic, so timing this required a
     patch to disable it]
    $ time git pack-objects --all --stdout </dev/null >/dev/null
    Counting objects: 3237103, done.
    Compressing objects: 100% (508752/508752), done.

0a1bc12b6e receive-pack: allow pushes that update .git/shallow
The basic 8 steps to update .git/shallow does not fully apply here
because the user may choose to accept just a few refs (while fetch
always accepts all refs). The steps are modified a bit.

1-6. same as before. After calling assign_shallow_commits_to_refs at
   step 6, each shallow commit has a bitmap that marks all refs that
   require it.

7. mark all "ours" shallow commits that are reachable from any
   refs. We will need to do the original step 7 on them later.

8. go over all shallow commit bitmaps, mark refs that require new
   shallow commits.

9. setup a strict temporary shallow file to plug all the holes, even
   if it may cut some of our history short. This file is used by all
   hooks. The hooks could use --shallow-file=$GIT_DIR/shallow to
   overcome this and reach everything in current repo.

10. go over the new refs one by one. For each ref, do the reachability
   test if it needs a shallow commit on the list from step 7. Remove
   it if it's reachable from our refs. Gather all required shallow
   commits, run check_everything_connected() with the new ref, then
   install them to .git/shallow.

This mode is disabled by default and can be turned on with
receive.shallowupdate

0838bf47b3 fetch --prune: prune only based on explicit refspecs
The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being
fetched.  In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only
to be fetched, but also to be pruned.  This is inappropriate because
there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local
repository and all remotes.  Therefore, if the user defines a local
tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is
deleted.  Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via
fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it
even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in
tag lossage.

Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the
same problem.

The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the
setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent
with that of the other commands.

So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags.  To fix this
problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on
refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line
or via remote.<name>.fetch.  Thus, tags are no longer made subject to
pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.

However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as
part of a refspec, and that is good.  For example:

* On the command line,

      git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'

  causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is
  therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old
  behavior of "--prune --tag".

* For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the
  configuration is set to include

      [remote "name"]
              fetch = +refs/*:refs/*

  , which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other
  references.  This is the behavior that will typically be desired for
  a mirror.

But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the
"submodule.<name>.ignore" settings, which then disable the summary partly
or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not
affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented.

Extend the documentation in those places where "status.submodulesummary",
"diff.ignoreSubmodules" and "submodule.<name>.ignore" are described to
better explain these dependencies.

115dedd722 upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds
There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default.
They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than
the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case
that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send
a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing
progress and resetting the keepalive timer.

We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a
reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of
5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer
our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive
packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider
the connection hung.

05e95155a1 upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation
When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet
period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects
and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the
client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect,
pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is
ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even
minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed).
Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this
situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung.

This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no
data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send
an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are
still working on it.

2556b9962e status: disable display of '#' comment prefix by default
Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.

Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.

Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

66713ef3b0 pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasing
If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.

This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.

Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.

Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

35035bbf07 send-email: be explicit with SSL certificate verification
When initiating an SSL connection without explicitly specifying the
SSL certificate verification mode, Net::SMTP::SSL defaults to no
verification, but recent versions of the module gives a warning
against this use of the default.

Enable certificate verification by default, using /etc/ssl/certs as
the default path for certificates of certificate authorities.  This
path can be overriden by the --smtp-ssl-cert-path command line
option and the sendemail.smtpSSLCertPath configuration variable.

Passing an empty string as the path for CA certificates path disables
the SSL certificate verification explicitly, which does not trigger
the warning from recent versions of Net::SMTP::SSL.

737c5a9cde fetch: make --prune configurable
Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever.  Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".

To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":

 - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.

 - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.

The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.

Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

f66450ae94 cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.

Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

3b8d2765c7 Merge branch 'jc/triangle-push-fixup'
Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from.  This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.

The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.

. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
  remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
  integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.

. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
  will be the safe default in Git 2.0.

  In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
  between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
  branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
  current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
  the central repository).

  In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
  the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid

ed2b18292b push: change simple to accommodate triangular workflows
When remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote is set to a
remote that is different from where you usually fetch from (i.e. a
triangular workflow), master@{u} != origin, and push.default is set
to `upstream` or `simple` would fail with this error:

  $ git push
  fatal: You are pushing to remote 'origin', which is not the upstream of
  your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push
  to update which remote branch.

The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for
use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new
meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as before.

However, the `simple` does not have to share this error.  It is
poised to be the default for Git 2.0, and we would like it to do
something sensible in triangular workflows.

Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as
before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow.

We may want to make it "safer current", but that is a separate
issue.

4c7f1819b3 make color.ui default to 'auto'
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").

Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.

These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.

A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.

A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.

The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

587947750b rebase: implement --[no-]autostash and rebase.autostash
This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree or
index.  It works by creating a temporary "dangling merge commit" out
of the worktree and index changes (via 'git stash create'), and
automatically applying it after a successful rebase or abort.

rebase stores the SHA-1 hex of the temporary merge commit, along with
the rest of the rebase state, in either
.git/{rebase-merge,rebase-apply}/autostash depending on the kind of
rebase.  Since $state_dir is automatically removed at the end of a
successful rebase or abort, so is the autostash.

The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user.  This
means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual.

When the autostash application results in a conflict, we push
$state_dir/autostash onto the normal stash and remove $state_dir
ending the rebase.  The user can inspect the stash, and pop or drop at
any time.

Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with
pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the
require_clean_work_tree restriction.

daebaa7813 upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.

Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable.  Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable.  As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.

Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).

Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.

An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected.  This
is not a new restriction.  To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs.  I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit".  The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

may find 'pull.default = tracking' and wonder what it means, but
earlier we stopped mentioning this value, even though the code still
support it and more importantly, we have no intention to force old
timers to update their configuration files.

Instead of not mentioning it, add it to the description in a way
that makes it clear that users have no reason to add new uses of it
preferring over 'upstream', by not listing it as a separate item on
the same footing as other values but as a deprecated synonym of the
'upstream' in its description.

75e5c0dc55 push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:

 * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
 * the object we are pushing is not a commit,

it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge".  We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.

If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged.  In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time.  And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage.  As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.

In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.

Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

c08e4d5b5c Enable minimal stat checking
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.

Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.

This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

06b1abb5bd submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes
The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1).  Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1.  This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.

However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject.  Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:

  $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates.  When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch.  If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`.  You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).

Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================

Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option.  The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in

  commit f030c96d86
  Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
  Date:   Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000

    git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable

Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.

Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same.  The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls.  The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`.  Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.

Implementation details
======================

In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1.  However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:

  if test -z "$nofetch"
  then
    # Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
    # is not reachable from a ref.
    (clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
      ( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
       test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
    die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
  fi

There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository.  If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

8c473cecfd mailmap: default mailmap.blob in bare repositories
The motivation for mailmap.blob is to let users of bare
repositories use the mailmap feature, as they would not have
a checkout containing the .mailmap file. We can make it even
easier for them by just looking in HEAD:.mailmap by default.

We can't know for sure that this is where they would keep a
mailmap, of course, but it is the best guess (and it matches
the non-bare behavior, which reads from HEAD:.mailmap in the
working tree). If it's missing, git will silently ignore the
setting.

We do not do the same magic in the non-bare case, because:

  1. In the common case, HEAD:.mailmap will be the same as
     the .mailmap in the working tree, which is a no-op.

  2. In the uncommon case, the user has modified .mailmap
     but not yet committed it, and would expect the working
     tree version to take precedence.

"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior

76759c7dff git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA.  When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.

Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".

As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode.  Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode.  When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.

The unicode decomposition causes many problems:

- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
  often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
  from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
  to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
  filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.

- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
  compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
  precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
  be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
  be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
  consistency in general).

- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
  precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
  readdir().

NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.

As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can

 - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and

 - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
   precomposed form,

to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form.  This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.

The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv().  The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.

The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line.  It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.

When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".

The user needs to activate this feature manually.  She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

dc79687e0b Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

 1. to create such a file,

 2. and add configuration variable to point at it.

Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.

And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config).  The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

3f8eccbe16 column: add dense layout support
Normally all cells (and in turn columns) share the same width. This
layout mode can waste space because one long item can stretch our all
columns.

With COL_DENSE enabled, column width is calculated indepdendently. All
columns are shrunk to minimum, then it attempts to push cells of the
last row over to the next column with hope that everything still fits
even there's one row less. The process is repeated until the new layout
cannot fit in given width any more, or there's only one row left
(perfect!).

Apparently, this mode consumes more cpu than the old one, but it makes
better use of terminal space. For layouting one or two screens, cpu
usage should not be detectable.

This patch introduces option handling code besides layout modes and
enable/disable to expose this feature as "dense". The feature can be
turned off by specifying "nodense".

7e29b8254f Add column layout skeleton and git-column
A column option string consists of many token separated by either
a space or a  comma. A token belongs to one of three groups:

 - enabling: always, never and auto
 - layout mode: currently plain (which does not layout at all)
 - other future tuning flags

git-column can be used to pipe output to from a command that wants
column layout, but not to mess with its own output code. Simpler output
code can be changed to use column layout code directly.

6cf378f0cb docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.

It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:

  1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
     contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
     of `master{tilde}1`.

  2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
     tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
     quoting.

This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).

Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:

  - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
    literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")

  - some code examples used the right-arrow character
    instead of '->' because they failed to quote

  - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
    HTML contained a bogus snippet like:

      <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>

    which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
    sections of the page.

  - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
    literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)

  - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
    erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
    author@example.com

  - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
    the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".

  - using "prime" notation like:

      commit `C` and its replacement `C'`

    confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
    the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
    to be inside matched quotes

  - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
    asterisks. In particular,

      `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`

    properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
    literally passed through the backslash in the second
    case.

It is too early to start warning loudly about the future default change
in favor of 'simple', since many users use different versions of Git, and
would be harmed if we advised them to explicitely set
'push.default=simple' when using old versions of Git.

Still, we want to document the upcomming change so that:

* Users who may be affected by the change get one more chance to know it
  in advance.

* We actually commit to changing the default, and avoid repeating past
  errors.

b55e677522 push: introduce new push.default mode "simple"
When calling "git push" without argument, we want to allow Git to do
something simple to explain and safe. push.default=matching is unsafe
when used to push to shared repositories, and hard to explain to
beginners in some contexts. It is debatable whether 'upstream' or
'current' is the safest or the easiest to explain, so introduce a new
mode called 'simple' that is the intersection of them: push to the
upstream branch, but only if it has the same name remotely. If not, give
an error that suggests the right command to push explicitely to
'upstream' or 'current'.

A question is whether to allow pushing when no upstream is configured. An
argument in favor of allowing the push is that it makes the new mode work
in more cases. On the other hand, refusing to push when no upstream is
configured encourages the user to set the upstream, which will be
beneficial on the next pull. Lacking better argument, we chose to deny
the push, because it will be easier to change in the future if someone
shows us wrong.

f25950f347 push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward errors
Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:

1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.

2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.

3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.

Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

b2c8c6d944 http.proxy: also mention https_proxy and all_proxy
The current wording of the http.proxy documentation suggests that
http_proxy is somehow equivalent to http.proxy. However, while
http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the
proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment
variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only
http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols.

Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and
all_proxy as well.

Also replace linkgit:curl[1] with a literal 'curl(1)', because the
former gets translated to a dead link in the HTML pages.

9b25a0b52e config: add include directive
It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).

This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:

  [include]
    path = /path/to/file

This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).

The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.

Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:

  1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
     There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
     and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.

  2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
     reasons:

       a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
          config-like files.

       b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
	  care about just what's in that file, not a general
          lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
	  all". If that is not the case, the caller can
	  always specify "--includes".

  3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
     include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
     modified), and not expand them. So "git config
     --unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
     .git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
     also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

Currently we either need to set branch.<name>.rebase for existing

the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create
the branch.

Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to
mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch.

This option will be considered at a lower priority than
branch.<name>.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and
branch.<name>.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would
win.

The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by
any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but
is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful
by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example.

The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor
configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while
allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As
usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration
variable.

It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same
mechanism.

565e135a1e Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs.  Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.

AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML).  Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).

AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement.  Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters.  The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain.  (This patch will not
change that.)

The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc.  Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name.  The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

List of lines to fix found by grepping manpages for "(em".

bcfb95dde4 http: pass http.cookiefile using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
If the config option http.cookiefile is set, pass this file to libCURL using
the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. This is similar to calling curl with the -b
option.  This allows git http authorization with authentication mechanisms
that use cookies, such as SAML Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) used by
Shibboleth.

To use SAML/ECP, the user needs to request a session cookie with their own ECP
code. See for example:

<https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP>

Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g.

git config --global http.cookiefile "/home/dbrown/.curlcookies"

libCURL will then pass the appropriate session cookies to the git http server.

dce9648916 Make the default abbrev length configurable
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

53c403116a push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'
Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).

When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.

In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.

push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

15a147e618 rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified
'git rebase' without arguments is currently not supported. Make it
default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what 'git pull
[--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that 'git rebase'
defaults to the same thing.

Defaulting to @{upstream} will make it possible to run e.g. 'git
rebase -i' without arguments, which is probably a quite common use
case. It also improves the scenario where you have multiple branches
that rebase against a remote-tracking branch, where you currently have
to choose between the extra network delay of 'git pull' or the
slightly awkward keys to enter 'git rebase @{u}'.

The error reporting when no upstream is configured for the current
branch or when no branch is checked out is reused from git-pull.sh. A
function is extracted into git-parse-remote.sh for this purpose.

f4b05a4947 Make the tab width used for whitespace checks configurable
A new whitespace "rule" is added that sets the tab width to use for
whitespace checks and fix-ups and replaces the hard-coded constant 8.

Since the setting is part of the rules, it can be set per file using
.gitattributes.

The new configuration is backwards compatible because older git versions
simply ignore unknown whitespace rules.

6b3020a241 add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for add.ignore-errors
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.

What convention?  Glad you asked.

	The section name indicates the affected subsystem.

	The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
	an unbound set of things to set the value for.

	The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
	this knob.

	The section and variable names can be broken into
	words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
	the reader.  These word breaks are not significant
	at the level of code, since the section and variable
	names are not case sensitive.

The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like

	[add]
		ignoreErrors

does not have any effect.  Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.

1d282327d7 status: show branchname with a configurable color
You can tell "git status" to paint the name of the current branch in its
output (the line that says "On branch ...") by setting the configuration
variable color.status.branch; it is by default turned off.
