fsck.<msg-id>:: |
||||||
|
During fsck git may find issues with legacy data which |
||||||
|
wouldn't be generated by current versions of git, and which |
||||||
|
wouldn't be sent over the wire if `transfer.fsckObjects` was |
||||||
|
set. This feature is intended to support working with legacy |
||||||
|
repositories containing such data. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
Setting `fsck.<msg-id>` will be picked up by linkgit:git-fsck[1], but |
||||||
|
to accept pushes of such data set `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` instead, or |
||||||
|
to clone or fetch it set `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
The rest of the documentation discusses `fsck.*` for brevity, but the |
||||||
|
same applies for the corresponding `receive.fsck.*` and |
||||||
|
`fetch.<msg-id>.*`. variables. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the |
||||||
|
`receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>` variables will not |
||||||
|
fall back on the `fsck.<msg-id>` configuration if they aren't set. To |
||||||
|
uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances |
||||||
|
all three of them they must all set to the same values. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
When `fsck.<msg-id>` is set, errors can be switched to warnings and |
||||||
|
vice versa by configuring the `fsck.<msg-id>` setting where the |
||||||
|
`<msg-id>` is the fsck message ID and the value is one of `error`, |
||||||
|
`warn` or `ignore`. For convenience, fsck prefixes the error/warning |
||||||
|
with the message ID, e.g. "missingEmail: invalid author/committer line |
||||||
|
- missing email" means that setting `fsck.missingEmail = ignore` will |
||||||
|
hide that issue. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
In general, it is better to enumerate existing objects with problems |
||||||
|
with `fsck.skipList`, instead of listing the kind of breakages these |
||||||
|
problematic objects share to be ignored, as doing the latter will |
||||||
|
allow new instances of the same breakages go unnoticed. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
Setting an unknown `fsck.<msg-id>` value will cause fsck to die, but |
||||||
|
doing the same for `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>` |
||||||
|
will only cause git to warn. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
fsck.skipList:: |
||||||
|
The path to a list of object names (i.e. one unabbreviated SHA-1 per |
||||||
|
line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should |
||||||
|
be ignored. On versions of Git 2.20 and later comments ('#'), empty |
||||||
|
lines, and any leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Everything |
||||||
|
but a SHA-1 per line will error out on older versions. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
This feature is useful when an established project should be accepted |
||||||
|
despite early commits containing errors that can be safely ignored |
||||||
|
such as invalid committer email addresses. Note: corrupt objects |
||||||
|
cannot be skipped with this setting. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
Like `fsck.<msg-id>` this variable has corresponding |
||||||
|
`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variants. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the |
||||||
|
`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variables will not |
||||||
|
fall back on the `fsck.skipList` configuration if they aren't set. To |
||||||
|
uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances |
||||||
|
all three of them they must all set to the same values. |
||||||
|
+ |
||||||
|
Older versions of Git (before 2.20) documented that the object names |
||||||
|
list should be sorted. This was never a requirement, the object names |
||||||
|
could appear in any order, but when reading the list we tracked whether |
||||||
|
the list was sorted for the purposes of an internal binary search |
||||||
|
implementation, which could save itself some work with an already sorted |
||||||
|
list. Unless you had a humongous list there was no reason to go out of |
||||||
|
your way to pre-sort the list. After Git version 2.20 a hash implementation |
||||||
|
is used instead, so there's now no reason to pre-sort the list. |
