fbd7a23237 rebase: introduce and use pseudo-ref REBASE_HEAD
The new command `git rebase --show-current-patch` is useful for seeing
the commit related to the current rebase state. Some however may find
the "git show" command behind it too limiting. You may want to
increase context lines, do a diff that ignores whitespaces...

For these advanced use cases, the user can execute any command they
want with the new pseudo ref REBASE_HEAD.

This also helps show where the stopped commit is from, which is hard
to see from the previous patch which implements --show-current-patch.

66335298a4 rebase: add --show-current-patch
It is useful to see the full patch while resolving conflicts in a
rebase. The only way to do it now is

    less .git/rebase-*/patch

which could turn out to be a lot longer to type if you are in a
linked worktree, or not at top-dir. On top of that, an ordinary user
should not need to peek into .git directory. The new option is
provided to examine the patch.

984913a210 am: add --show-current-patch
Pointing the user to $GIT_DIR/rebase-apply may encourage them to mess
around in there, which is not a good thing. With this, the user does
not have to keep the path around somewhere (because after a couple of
commands, the path may be out of scrollback buffer) when they need to
look at the patch.

97716d217c fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags config
Add a --prune-tags option to git-fetch, along with fetch.pruneTags
config option and a -P shorthand (-p is --prune). This allows for
doing any of:

    git fetch -p -P
    git fetch --prune --prune-tags
    git fetch -p -P origin
    git fetch --prune --prune-tags origin

Or simply:

    git config fetch.prune true &&
    git config fetch.pruneTags true &&
    git fetch

Instead of the much more verbose:

    git fetch --prune origin 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

Before this feature it was painful to support the use-case of pulling
from a repo which is having both its branches *and* tags deleted
regularly, and have our local references to reflect upstream.

At work we create deployment tags in the repo for each rollout, and
there's *lots* of those, so they're archived within weeks for
performance reasons.

Without this change it's hard to centrally configure such repos in
/etc/gitconfig (on servers that are only used for working with
them). You need to set fetch.prune=true globally, and then for each
repo:

    git -C {} config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" "^\+*refs/tags/\*:refs/tags/\*$"

Now I can simply set fetch.pruneTags=true in /etc/gitconfig as well,
and users running "git pull" will automatically get the pruning
semantics I want.

Even though "git remote" has corresponding "prune" and "update
--prune" subcommands I'm intentionally not adding a corresponding
prune-tags or "update --prune --prune-tags" mode to that command.

It's advertised (as noted in my recent "git remote doc: correct
dangerous lies about what prune does") as only modifying remote
tracking references, whereas any --prune-tags option is always going
to modify what from the user's perspective is a local copy of the tag,
since there's no such thing as a remote tracking tag.

Ideally add_prune_tags_to_fetch_refspec() would be something that
would use ALLOC_GROW() to grow the 'fetch` member of the 'remote'
struct. Instead I'm realloc-ing remote->fetch and adding the
tag_refspec to the end.

The reason is that parse_{fetch,push}_refspec which allocate the
refspec (ultimately remote->fetch) struct are called many places that
don't have access to a 'remote' struct. It would be hard to change all
their callsites to be amenable to carry around the bookkeeping
variables required for dynamic allocation.

All the other callers of the API first incrementally construct the
string version of the refspec in remote->fetch_refspec via
add_fetch_refspec(), before finally calling parse_fetch_refspec() via
some variation of remote_get().

It's less of a pain to deal with the one special case that needs to
modify already constructed refspecs than to chase down and change all
the other callsites. The API I'm adding is intentionally not
generalized because if we add more of these we'd probably want to
re-visit how this is done.

See my "Re: [BUG] git remote prune removes local tags, depending on
fetch config" (87po6ahx87.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com;
https://public-inbox.org/git/87po6ahx87.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/) for

041fe8fc83 git-prompt: fix reading files with windows line endings
If any of the files read by __git_eread have \r\n line endings, read
will only strip \n, leaving \r. This results in an ugly prompt, where
instead of

    user@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master)

the last parenthesis is printed over the beginning of the prompt like

    )ser@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master

This patch fixes the issue by changing the internal field separator
variable IFS to $'\r\n' before using the read builtin command.

Note that ANSI-C Quoting/POSIX Quoting ($'...') is supported by bash
as well as zsh, which are the current targets of git-prompt, cf.
contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh.

When an hook is present but the file is not set as executable then git will

For now this is silent which can be confusing.

This commit adds this warning to improve the situation:

  hint: The 'pre-commit' hook was ignored because it's not set as executable.
  hint: You can disable this warning with `git config advice.ignoredHook false`

To allow the old use-case of enabling/disabling hooks via the executable flag a
new setting is introduced: advice.ignoredHook.

Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be

sending many messages.

Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages
(configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few
seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and
reconnect, to work around such a limit.

Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default.

Note:

  We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we
  should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server;
  Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic
  servers.

cedf4e27de completion: mark bash script as LF-only
Without this change, the completion script does not work, as Bash expects
its scripts to have line feeds as end-of-line markers (this is
particularly prominent in quoted multi-line strings, where carriage
returns would slip into the strings as verbatim characters otherwise).

This change is required to let t9902-completion pass when Git's source
code is checked out with `core.autocrlf = true`.

b439747bc1 Merge branch 'jk/complete-checkout-sans-dwim-remote'
Completion for "git checkout <branch>" that auto-creates the branch
out of a remote tracking branch can now be disabled, as this
completion often gets in the way when completing to checkout an
existing local branch that happens to share the same prefix with
bunch of remote tracking branches.

0dab2468ee clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags
Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags.

Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without
also fetching its tags.

When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be
cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now
--no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without
tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch.

This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a
normal clone but not fetch any tags.

Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number
of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a
command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead
of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will
slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly
show ~40k references instead of 1.

The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a
repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like
a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring
about any other references.

Without this change the only way of accomplishing this was either by
manually tweaking the config in a fresh repository:

    git init git &&
    cat >git/.git/config <<EOF &&
    [remote "origin"]
        url = git@github.com:git/git.git
        tagOpt = --no-tags
        fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
    [branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master
    EOF
    cd git &&
    git pull

Which requires hardcoding the "master" name, which may not be the main
--single-branch would have retrieved, or alternatively by setting
tagOpt=--no-tags right after cloning & deleting any existing tags:

    git clone --single-branch git@github.com:git/git.git &&
    cd git &&
    git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
    git tag -l | xargs git tag -d

Which of course was also subtly buggy if --branch was pointed at a
tag, leaving the user in a detached head:

    git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 git@github.com:git/git.git &&
    cd git &&
    git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
    git tag -l | xargs git tag -d

Now all this complexity becomes the much simpler:

    git clone --single-branch --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git

Or in the case of cloning a single tag "branch":

    git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git

93fdf301de status: add color config slots for branch info in "--short --branch"
Add color config slots to be used in the status short-format when
displaying local and remote tracking branch information.

[jc: rebased on top of Peff's fix to 'git status' and tweaked the
test to check both local and remote-tracking branch output]

60e71bbcea completion: optionally disable checkout DWIM
When we complete branch names for "git checkout", we also
complete remote branch names that could trigger the DWIM
behavior. Depending on your workflow and project, this can
be either convenient or annoying.

For instance, my clone of gitster.git contains 74 local
"jk/*" branches, but origin contains another 147. When I
want to checkout a local branch but can't quite remember the
name, tab completion shows me 251 entries. And worse, for a
topic that has been picked up for pu, the upstream branch
name is likely to be similar to mine, leading to a high
probability that I pick the wrong one and accidentally
create a new branch.

This patch adds a way for the user to tell the completion
code not to include DWIM suggestions for checkout. This can
already be done by typing:

  git checkout --no-guess jk/<TAB>

but that's rather cumbersome. The downside, of course, is
that you no longer get completion support when you _do_ want
to invoke the DWIM behavior. But depending on your workflow,
that may not be a big loss (for instance, in git.git I am
much more likely to want to detach, so I'd type "git
checkout origin/jk/<TAB>" anyway).
