Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601
standard due to small differences, and it cannot be parsed by ISO
8601-only parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains.
The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways:
- a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter
- a space between time and time zone
- no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone
Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and
author dates. Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add
'--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on
their repository, but they are not at liberty to share the
contents of the repository. It would be useful if they could
produce a repository that has a similar shape to its history
and tree, but without leaking any information. This
"anonymized" repository could then be shared with developers
(assuming it still replicates the original problem).
This patch implements an "--anonymize" option to
fast-export, which generates a stream that can recreate such
a repository. Producing a single stream makes it easy for
the caller to verify that they are not leaking any useful
information. You can get an overview of what will be shared
by running a command like:
git fast-export --anonymize --all |
perl -pe 's/\d+/X/g' |
sort -u |
less
which will show every unique line we generate, modulo any
numbers (each anonymized token is assigned a number, like
"User 0", and we replace it consistently in the output).
In addition to anonymizing, this produces test cases that
are relatively small (compared to the original repository)
and fast to generate (compared to using filter-branch, or
modifying the output of fast-export yourself). Here are
numbers for git.git:
$ time git fast-export --anonymize --all \
--tag-of-filtered-object=drop >output
real 0m2.883s
user 0m2.828s
sys 0m0.052s
$ gzip output
$ ls -lh output.gz | awk '{print $5}'

Pushing a large number of refs works over most transports,
because we implement send-pack as an internal function.
However, it can sometimes fail when pushing over http,
because we have to spawn "git send-pack --stateless-rpc" to
do the heavy lifting, and we pass each refspec on the
command line. This can cause us to overflow the OS limits on
the size of the command line for a large push.
We can solve this by giving send-pack a --stdin option and
using it from remote-curl. We already dealt with this on
the fetch-pack side in 078b895 (fetch-pack: new --stdin
option to read refs from stdin, 2012-04-02). The stdin
option (and in particular, its use of packet-lines for
stateless-rpc input) is modeled after that solution.

Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.
Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.
Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.
Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line
arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time'
utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all
involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug
performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were
called with which parameters, and how long did they execute).
Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit
routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of
main().

Normally scripts do not have to be aware about split indexes because
all shared indexes are in $GIT_DIR. A simple "mv $tmp_index
$GIT_DIR/somewhere" is enough. Scripts that generate temporary indexes
and move them across repos must be aware about split index and copy
the shared file as well. This option enables that.

If you have a large work tree but only make changes in a subset, then
$GIT_DIR/index's size should be stable after a while. If you change
branches that touch something else, $GIT_DIR/index's size may grow
large that it becomes as slow as the unified index. Do --split-index
again occasionally to force all changes back to the shared index and
keep $GIT_DIR/index small.

This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to
the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work
tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.)
This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and
$GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over
time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in
index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this
patch.
Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if
the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just
looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The
good news is one shared index is useable for long, until
$GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index
must be created.
The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index
mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on
split index mode again.

Patch id changes if users reorder file diffs that make up a patch.
As the result is functionally equivalent, a different patch id is
surprising to many users.
In particular, reordering files using diff -O is helpful to make patches
more readable (e.g. API header diff before implementation diff).
Add an option to change patch-id behaviour making it stable against
these kinds of patch change:
calculate SHA1 hash for each hunk separately and sum all hashes
(using a symmetrical sum) to get patch id
We use a 20byte sum and not xor - since xor would give 0 output
for patches that have two identical diffs, which isn't all that
unlikely (e.g. append the same line in two places).
The new behaviour is enabled
- when patchid.stable is true
- when --stable flag is present
Using a new flag --unstable or setting patchid.stable to false force
the historical behaviour.
In the documentation, clarify that patch ID can now be a sum of hashes,
not a hash.
Document how command line and config options affect the
behaviour.

STRING_LIST_INIT_{NODUP,DUP} initializers list values only
for earlier structure members, relying on the usual
convention in C that the omitted members are initailized to
0, i.e. the former is expanded to the latter:
struct string_list l = STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP;
struct string_list l = { NULL, 0, 0, 1 };
and the last member that is not mentioned (i.e. 'cmp') is
initialized to NULL.

Since the very beginning of Git, we gave the LESS environment a
default value "FRSX" when we spawn "less" as the pager. "S" (chop
long lines instead of wrapping) has been removed from this default
set of options, because it is more or less a personal taste thing,
as opposed to others that have good justifications (i.e. "R" is very
much justified because many kinds of output we produce are colored
and "FX" is justified because output we produce is often shorter
than a page).
Existing users who prefer not to see line-wrapped output may want to
set
$ git config core.pager "less -S"
to restore the traditional behaviour. It is expected that people
find output from the most subcommands easier to read with the new
default, except for "blame" which tends to produce really long
lines. To override the new default only for "git blame", you can do
this:
$ git config pager.blame "less -S"

Since the introduction of opportunisitic updates of remote-tracking

to specify what to fetch is given on the command line, and there is

It is misleading to mention that <ref> that does not store is to

also to fetch the LHS into FETCH_HEAD. It is doubly misleading to
list it as part of "short-cut". <ref> stands for a refspec that has
it on the LHS with a colon and an empty RHS, and that definition
should be given at the beginning of the entry where the format is
defined.

mergetool.prompt used to default to 'true', always causing a confirmation
"do you really want to run the tool on this path" to be shown.
Among the two purposes the prompt serves, ignore the use case to
confirm that the user wants to view particular path with the named
tool, and make the prompt only to confirm the choice of the tool
made by autodetection and defaulting. For those who configured the
tool explicitly, the prompt shown for the latter purpose is simply
annoying.

In old days before Git 1.5, it was customery for "git fetch" to use
the same local branch namespace to keep track of the remote-tracking
branches, and it was necessary to tell users not to check them out
and commit on them. Since everybody uses the separate remote layout
these days, there is no need to warn against the practice to check
out the right-hand side of <refspec> and build on it---the RHS is
typically not even a local branch.
Incidentally, this also kills one mention of "Pull:" line of
$GIT_DIR/remotes/* configuration, which is a lot less familiar to
new people than the more modern remote.*.fetch configuration
variable.

- Avoid "X. That means Y." If Y is easier to understand to

- Use of explicit refspec to fetch tags does not have much to do

All child_process structs need to point to an argv. For
flexibility, we do not mandate the use of a dynamic
argv_array. However, because the child_process does not own
the memory, this can make memory management with a
separate argv_array difficult.
For example, if a function calls start_command but not
finish_command, the argv memory must persist. The code needs
to arrange to clean up the argv_array separately after
finish_command runs. As a result, some of our code in this
situation just leaks the memory.
To help such cases, this patch adds a built-in argv_array to
the child_process, which gets cleaned up automatically (both
in finish_command and when start_command fails). Callers
may use it if they choose, but can continue to use the raw
argv if they wish.

By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.
More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:
-old code;
+new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;
would appear identical to:
-old code;
+new good code;
Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.
The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.
