Jonathan Tan	cbe566a071	negotiator/noop: add noop fetch negotiator Add a noop fetch negotiator. This is introduced to allow partial clones to skip the unneeded negotiation step when fetching missing objects using a "git fetch" subprocess. (The implementation of spawning a "git fetch" subprocess will be done in a subsequent patch.) But this can also be useful for end users, e.g. as a blunt fix for object corruption.

Taylor Blau	5b01a4e8ff	upload-pack.c: introduce 'uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth' In b79cf959b2 (upload-pack.c: allow banning certain object filter(s), 2020-02-26), we introduced functionality to disallow certain object filters from being chosen from within 'git upload-pack'. Traditionally, administrators use this functionality to disallow filters that are known to perform slowly, for e.g., those that do not have bitmap-level filtering. In the past, the '--filter=tree:<n>' was one such filter that does not have bitmap-level filtering support, and so was likely to be banned by administrators. However, in the previous couple of commits, we introduced bitmap-level filtering for the case when 'n' is equal to '0', i.e., as if we had a '--filter=tree:none' choice. While it would be sufficient to simply write $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true (since it would allow all values of 'n'), we would like to be able to allow this filter for certain values of 'n', i.e., those no greater than some pre-specified maximum. In order to do this, introduce a new configuration key, as follows: $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth <m> where '<m>' specifies the maximum allowed value of 'n' in the filter 'tree:n'. Administrators who wish to allow for only the value '0' can write: $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true $ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth 0 which allows '--filter=tree:0', but no other values.

Taylor Blau	6dd3456a8c	upload-pack.c: allow banning certain object filter(s) Git clients may ask the server for a partial set of objects, where the set of objects being requested is refined by one or more object filters. Server administrators can configure 'git upload-pack' to allow or ban these filters by setting the 'uploadpack.allowFilter' variable to 'true' or 'false', respectively. However, administrators using bitmaps may wish to allow certain kinds of object filters, but ban others. Specifically, they may wish to allow object filters that can be optimized by the use of bitmaps, while rejecting other object filters which aren't and represent a perceived performance degradation (as well as an increased load factor on the server). Allow configuring 'git upload-pack' to support object filters on a case-by-case basis by introducing two new configuration variables: - 'uploadpackfilter.allow' - 'uploadpackfilter.<kind>.allow' where '<kind>' may be one of 'blobNone', 'blobLimit', 'tree', and so on. Setting the second configuration variable for any valid value of '<kind>' explicitly allows or disallows restricting that kind of object filter. If a client requests the object filter <kind> and the respective configuration value is not set, 'git upload-pack' will default to the value of 'uploadpackfilter.allow', which itself defaults to 'true' to maintain backwards compatibility. Note that this differs from 'uploadpack.allowfilter', which controls whether or not the 'filter' capability is advertised.

Junio C Hamano	6e6029a82a	fmt-merge-msg: allow merge destination to be omitted again In Git 2.28, we stopped special casing 'master' when producing the default merge message by just removing the code to squelch "into 'master'" at the end of the message. Introduce multi-valued merge.suppressDest configuration variable that gives a set of globs to match against the name of the branch into which the merge is being made, to let users specify for which branch fmt-merge-msg's output should be shortened. When it is not set, 'master' is used as the sole value of the variable by default. The above move mostly reverts the pre-2.28 default in repositories that have no relevant configuration. Add a few tests to protect the behaviour with the new configuration variable from future regression.

Jonathan Nieder	b5651a2092	experimental: default to fetch.writeCommitGraph=false The fetch.writeCommitGraph feature makes fetches write out a commit graph file for the newly downloaded pack on fetch. This improves the performance of various commands that would perform a revision walk and eventually ought to be the default for everyone. To prepare for that future, it's enabled by default for users that set feature.experimental=true to experience such future defaults. Alas, for --unshallow fetches from a shallow clone it runs into a snag: by the time Git has fetched the new objects and is writing a commit graph, it has performed a revision walk and r->parsed_objects contains information about the shallow boundary from before the fetch. The commit graph writing code is careful to avoid writing a commit graph file in shallow repositories, but the new state is not shallow, and the result is that from that point on, commands like "git log" make use of a newly written commit graph file representing a fictional history with the old shallow boundary. We could fix this by making the commit graph writing code more careful to avoid writing a commit graph that could have used any grafts or shallow state, but it is possible that there are other pieces of mutated state that fetch's commit graph writing code may be relying on. So disable it in the feature.experimental configuration. Google developers have been running in this configuration (by setting fetch.writeCommitGraph=false in the system config) to work around this bug since it was discovered in April. Once the fix lands, we'll enable fetch.writeCommitGraph=true again to give it some early testing before rolling out to a wider audience. In other words: - this patch only affects behavior with feature.experimental=true - it makes feature.experimental match the configuration Google has been using for the last few months, meaning it would leave users in a better tested state than without it - this should improve testing for other features guarded by feature.experimental, by making feature.experimental safer to use Reported-by: Jay Conrod <jayconrod@google.com> Helped-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	5 years ago

Jonathan Nieder	3697caf4b9	config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2 Git 2.26 used protocol v2 as its default protocol, but soon after release, users noticed that the protocol v2 negotiation code was prone to fail when fetching from some remotes that are far ahead of others (such as linux-next.git versus Linus's linux.git). That has been fixed by `0b07eecf6e` (Merge branch 'jt/v2-fetch-nego-fix', 2020-05-01), but to be cautious, we are using protocol v0 as the default in 2.27 to buy some time for any other unanticipated issues to surface. To that end, let's ensure that users requesting the bleeding edge using the feature.experimental flag do get protocol v2. This way, we can gain experience with a wider audience for the new protocol version and be more confident when it is time to enable it by default for all users in some future Git version. Implementation note: this isn't with the rest of the feature.experimental options in repo-settings.c because those are tied to a repository object, whereas this code path is used for operations like "git ls-remote" that do not require a repository.

Derrick Stolee	a6be5e6764	log: add log.excludeDecoration config option In 'git log', the --decorate-refs-exclude option appends a pattern to a string_list. This list is used to prevent showing some refs in the decoration output, or even by --simplify-by-decoration. Users may want to use their refs space to store utility refs that should not appear in the decoration output. For example, Scalar [1] runs a background fetch but places the "new" refs inside the refs/scalar/hidden/<remote>/* refspace instead of refs/<remote>/* to avoid updating remote refs when the user is not looking. However, these "hidden" refs appear during regular 'git log' queries. A similar idea to use "hidden" refs is under consideration for core Git [2]. Add the 'log.excludeDecoration' config option so users can exclude some refs from decorations by default instead of needing to use --decorate-refs-exclude manually. The config value is multi-valued much like the command-line option. The documentation is careful to point out that the config value can be overridden by the --decorate-refs option, even though --decorate-refs-exclude would always "win" over --decorate-refs. Since the 'log.excludeDecoration' takes lower precedence to --decorate-refs, and --decorate-refs-exclude takes higher precedence, the struct decoration_filter needed another field. This led also to new logic in load_ref_decorations() and ref_filter_match(). There are several tests in t4202-log.sh that test the --decorate-refs-(include\|exclude) options, so these are extended. Since the expected output is already stored as a file, most tests could simply replace a "--decorate-refs-exclude" option with an in-line config setting. Other tests involve the precedence of the config option compared to command-line options and needed more modification.

Denton Liu	a03b55530a	merge: teach --autostash option In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This option is missing in merge, however. Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash` option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after. This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch. Previously, they had to run something like git fetch ... git stash push git merge FETCH_HEAD git stash pop but now, that is reduced to git fetch ... git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the worktree only in three explicit situations: 1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`. 2. A merge completes successfully. 3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`. In all other situations where the merge state is removed using remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via `git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog instead keeping the worktree clean.

Derrick Stolee	de3a864114	config: set pack.useSparse=true by default The pack.useSparse config option was introduced by `3d036eb0` (pack-objects: create pack.useSparse setting, 2019-01-19) and was first available in v2.21.0. When enabled, the pack-objects process during 'git push' will use a sparse tree walk when deciding which trees and blobs to send to the remote. The algorithm was introduced by `d5d2e93` (revision: implement sparse algorithm, 2019-01-16) and has been in production use by VFS for Git since around that time. The features.experimental config option also enabled pack.useSparse, so hopefully that has also increased exposure. It is worth noting that pack.useSparse has a possibility of sending more objects across a push, but requires a special arrangement of exact _copies_ across directories. There is a test in t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh that demonstrates this possibility. This test uses the --sparse option to "git pack-objects" but we can make it implied by the config value to demonstrate that the default value has changed. While updating that test, I noticed that the documentation did not include an option for --no-sparse, which is now more important than it was before. Since the downside is unlikely but the upside is significant, set the default value of pack.useSparse to true. Remove it from the set of options implied by features.experimental.

Thomas Gummerer	8a2cd3f512	stash: remove the stash.useBuiltin setting Remove the stash.useBuiltin setting which was added as an escape hatch to disable the builtin version of stash first released with Git 2.22. Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact become out of date failing a test since the 2.23 release, without anyone noticing until now. So users would be getting a hint to fall back to a potentially buggy version of the tool. We used to shell out to git config to get the useBuiltin configuration to avoid changing any global state before spawning legacy-stash. However that is no longer necessary, so just use the 'git_config' function to get the setting instead. Similar to what we've done in `d03ebd411c` ("rebase: remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting", 2019-03-18), where we remove the corresponding setting for rebase, we leave the documentation in place, so people can refer back to it when searching for it online, and so we can refer to it in the commit message.

Elijah Newren	10cdb9f38a	rebase: rename the two primary rebase backends Two related changes, with separate rationale for each: Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because: * 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones given that we are making it the default. * 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is. * the directory where state is stored is not called .git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge. Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because: * Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point. * Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems. * Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user tries to explain to another what they are doing. * While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too. * The directory where state is stored has never been called .git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply. For all the reasons listed above: * Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names * Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere (e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation) * Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply * Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new backend names for us as well.

However, 'git remote rename' did not honor these single-letter abbreviations when reading the 'branch..rebase' configurations. We now document the single-letter abbreviations and both code places share a common function to parse the values of 'git pull --rebase=', 'pull.rebase', and 'branches.*.rebase'. The only functional change is the handling of the `branch_info::rebase` value. Before it was an unsigned enum, thus the truth value could be checked with `branch_info::rebase != 0`. But `enum rebase_type` is signed, thus the truth value must now be checked with `branch_info::rebase >= REBASE_TRUE` Signed-off-by: Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	5 years ago

However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to increase http.postBuffer. This works for none of the aforementioned situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support HTTP/1.1.

Most users will use git commit and expect to find comprehensive documentation about its use in the manual page for that command. Considering that there is significant confusion about how one is to use the user.name and user.email variables, let's put as much documentation as possible into an obvious place where users will be more likely to find it. In addition, expand the environment variables section to describe their use more fully. Even though we now describe all of the options there and in the configuration settings documentation, preserve the existing text in git-commit.txt so that people can easily reason about the ordering of the various options they can use. Explain the use of the author.* and committer.* options as well. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	5 years ago
brian m. carlson	856249c62a	docs: use "currently" for the present time In many languages, the adverb with the root "actual" means "at the present time." However, this usage is considered dated or even archaic in English, and for referring to events occurring at the present time, we usually prefer "currently" or "presently". "Actually" is commonly used in modern English only for the meaning of "in fact" or to express a contrast with what is expected. Since the documentation refers to the available options at the present time (that is, at the time of writing) instead of drawing a contrast, let's switch to "currently," which both is commonly used and sounds less formal than "presently."

Hans Jerry Illikainen	54887b4689	gpg-interface: add minTrustLevel as a configuration option Previously, signature verification for merge and pull operations checked if the key had a trust-level of either TRUST_NEVER or TRUST_UNDEFINED in verify_merge_signature(). If that was the case, the process die()d. The other code paths that did signature verification relied entirely on the return code from check_commit_signature(). And signatures made with a good key, irregardless of its trust level, was considered valid by check_commit_signature(). This difference in behavior might induce users to erroneously assume that the trust level of a key in their keyring is always considered by Git, even for operations where it is not (e.g. during a verify-commit or verify-tag). The way it worked was by gpg-interface.c storing the result from the key/signature status and the lowest-two trust levels in the `result` member of the signature_check structure (the last of these status lines that were encountered got written to `result`). These are documented in GPG under the subsection `General status codes` and `Key related`, respectively [1]. The GPG documentation says the following on the TRUST_ status codes [1]: """ These are several similar status codes: - TRUST_UNDEFINED <error_token> - TRUST_NEVER <error_token> - TRUST_MARGINAL [0 [<validation_model>]] - TRUST_FULLY [0 [<validation_model>]] - TRUST_ULTIMATE [0 [<validation_model>]] For good signatures one of these status lines are emitted to indicate the validity of the key used to create the signature. The error token values are currently only emitted by gpgsm. """ My interpretation is that the trust level is conceptionally different from the validity of the key and/or signature. That seems to also have been the assumption of the old code in check_signature() where a result of 'G' (as in GOODSIG) and 'U' (as in TRUST_NEVER or TRUST_UNDEFINED) were both considered a success. The two cases where a result of 'U' had special meaning were in verify_merge_signature() (where this caused git to die()) and in format_commit_one() (where it affected the output of the %G? format specifier). I think it makes sense to refactor the processing of TRUST_ status lines such that users can configure a minimum trust level that is enforced globally, rather than have individual parts of git (e.g. merge) do it themselves (except for a grace period with backward compatibility). I also think it makes sense to not store the trust level in the same struct member as the key/signature status. While the presence of a TRUST_ status code does imply that the signature is good (see the first paragraph in the included snippet above), as far as I can tell, the order of the status lines from GPG isn't well-defined; thus it would seem plausible that the trust level could be overwritten with the key/signature status if they were stored in the same member of the signature_check structure. This patch introduces a new configuration option: gpg.minTrustLevel. It consolidates trust-level verification to gpg-interface.c and adds a new `trust_level` member to the signature_check structure. Backward-compatibility is maintained by introducing a special case in verify_merge_signature() such that if no user-configurable gpg.minTrustLevel is set, then the old behavior of rejecting TRUST_UNDEFINED and TRUST_NEVER is enforced. If, on the other hand, gpg.minTrustLevel is set, then that value overrides the old behavior. Similarly, the %G? format specifier will continue show 'U' for signatures made with a key that has a trust level of TRUST_UNDEFINED or TRUST_NEVER, even though the 'U' character no longer exist in the `result` member of the signature_check structure. A new format specifier, %GT, is also introduced for users that want to show all possible trust levels for a signature. Another approach would have been to simply drop the trust-level requirement in verify_merge_signature(). This would also have made the behavior consistent with other parts of git that perform signature verification. However, requiring a minimum trust level for signing keys does seem to have a real-world use-case. For example, the build system used by the Qubes OS project currently parses the raw output from verify-tag in order to assert a minimum trust level for keys used to sign git tags [2].

Jonathan Nieder	684ceae32d	fetch: default to protocol version 2 The Git users at $DAYJOB have been using protocol v2 as a default for ~1.5 years now and others have been also reporting good experiences with it, so it seems like a good time to bump the default version. It produces a significant performance improvement when fetching from repositories with many refs, such as https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src. This only affects the client, not the server. (The server already defaults to supporting protocol v2.) The protocol change is backward compatible, so this should produce no significant effect when contacting servers that only speak protocol v0.

Jonathan Tan	10c64a0b3c	Doc: explain submodule.alternateErrorStrategy Commit `31224cbdc7` ("clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates", 2016-08-17) taught Git to support the configuration options "submodule.alternateLocation" and "submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" on a superproject. If "submodule.alternateLocation" is configured to "superproject" on a superproject, whenever a submodule of that superproject is cloned, it instead computes the analogous alternate path for that submodule from $GIT_DIR/objects/info/alternates of the superproject, and references it. The "submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" option determines what happens if that alternate cannot be referenced. However, it is not clear that the clone proceeds as if no alternate was specified when that option is not set to "die" (as can be seen in the tests in `31224cbdc7`). Therefore, document it accordingly. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	5 years ago

According to https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=8873, it should work on Windows Vista and later. But apparently there are issues on Windows Vista when pipes are involved.

Derrick Stolee	879321eb0b	sparse-checkout: add 'cone' mode The sparse-checkout feature can have quadratic performance as the number of patterns and number of entries in the index grow. If there are 1,000 patterns and 1,000,000 entries, this time can be very significant. Create a new Boolean config option, core.sparseCheckoutCone, to indicate that we expect the sparse-checkout file to contain a more limited set of patterns. This is a separate config setting from core.sparseCheckout to avoid breaking older clients by introducing a tri-state option. The config option does nothing right now, but will be expanded upon in a later commit.

Johannes Schindelin	f83dff60a7	Start to implement a built-in version of `git add --interactive` Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the `run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in `add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented directly in libgit.a. At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the `run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git. The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl script. The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass, even at each of the incremental conversion steps).
