Allow easier parsing by cat-file by giving rev-list an option to print
only the OID of a non-commit object without any additional information.
This is a short-term shim; later on, rev-list should be taught how to
print the types of objects it finds in a format similar to cat-file's.
Before this commit, the output from rev-list needed to be massaged
before being piped to cat-file, like so:
git rev-list --objects HEAD | cut -f 1 -d ' ' |
git cat-file --batch-check
This was especially unexpected when dealing with root trees, as an
invisible whitespace exists at the end of the OID:
git rev-list --objects --filter=tree:1 --max-count=1 HEAD |
xargs -I% echo "AA%AA"
Now, it can be piped directly, as in the added test case:
git rev-list --objects --no-object-names HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check

The commit-graph feature began with a long list of planned
benefits, most of which are now complete. The future work
section has only a few items left.
As for making more algorithms aware of generation numbers,
some are only waiting for generation number v2 to ensure the
performance matches the existing behavior using commit date.
It is unlikely that we will ever send a commit-graph file
as part of the protocol, since we would need to verify the
data, and that is expensive. If we want to start trusting
remote content, then that item can be investigated again.
While there is more work to be done on the feature, having
a section of the docs devoted to a TODO list is wasteful and
hard to keep up-to-date.

As many CI/CD tools don't allow to control command line options when
executing `git tag` command, a default value in the configuration file
will allow to enforce tag signing if required.
The new config-file option tag.gpgSign is added to define default behavior
of tag signings. To override default behavior the command line option -s,
--sign and --no-sign can be used:
$ git tag -m "commit message"
will generate a GPG signed tag if tag.gpgSign option is true, while
$ git tag --no-sign -m "commit message"
will skip the signing step.

If someone wants to use as a filter a sparse file that is in the
repository, something like "--filter=sparse:oid=<ref>:<path>"
already works.
So 'sparse:path' is only interesting if the sparse file is not in
the repository. In this case though the current implementation has
a big security issue, as it makes it possible to ask the server to
read any file, like for example /etc/password, and to explore the
filesystem, as well as individual lines of files.
If someone is interested in using a sparse file that is not in the
repository as a filter, then at the minimum a config option, such
as "uploadpack.sparsePathFilter", should be implemented first to
restrict the directory from which the files specified by
'sparse:path' can be read.
For now though, let's just disable 'sparse:path' filters.

Fix a regression in my recent 3494dfd3ee ("send-email: do defaults ->
config -> getopt in that order", 2019-05-09). I missed that the
$identity variable needs to be extracted from the command-line before
we do the config reading, as it determines which config variable we
should read first. See [1] for the report.
The sendemail.identity feature was added back in
34cc60ce2b ("send-email: Add support for SSL and SMTP-AUTH",
2007-09-03), there were no tests to assert that it worked properly.
So let's fix both the regression, and add some tests to assert that
this is being parsed properly. While I'm at it I'm adding a
--no-identity option to go with --[to|cc|bcc] variable, since the
semantics are similar. It's like to/cc/bcc except that unlike those we
don't support multiple identities, but we could now easily add it
support for it if anyone cares.
In just fixing the --identity command-line parsing bug I discovered
that a narrow fix to that wouldn't do. In read_config() we had a state
machine that would only set config values if they weren't set already,
and thus by proxy we wouldn't e.g. set "to" based on sendemail.to if
we'd seen sendemail.gmail.to before, with --identity=gmail.
I'd modified some of the relevant code in 3494dfd3ee, but just
reverting to that wouldn't do, since it would bring back the
regression fixed in that commit.
Refactor read_config() do what we actually mean here. We don't want to
set a given sendemail.VAR if a sendemail.$identity.VAR previously set
it. The old code was conflating this desire with the hardcoded
defaults for these variables, and as discussed in 3494dfd3ee that was
never going to work. Instead pass along the state of whether an
identity config set something before, as distinguished from the state
of the default just being false, or the default being a non-bool or
true (e.g. --transferencoding).
I'm still not happy with the test coverage here, e.g. there's nothing
testing sendemail.smtpEncryption, but I only have so much time to fix
this code.
