The fsck-cache complains if objects referred to by files in .git/refs/
or objects stored in files under .git/objects/??/ are not found as
stand-alone SHA1 files (i.e. found in alternate object pools
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES or packed archives stored under
.git/objects/pack).
Although this is a good semantics to maintain consistency of a single
.git/objects directory as a self contained set of objects, it sometimes
is useful to consider it is OK as long as these "outside" objects are
available.
This commit introduces a new flag, --standalone, to git-fsck-cache.
When it is not specified, connectivity checks and .git/refs pointer
checks are taught that it is OK when expected objects do not exist under
.git/objects/?? hierarchy but are available from an packed archive or in
an alternate object pool.
Another new flag, --full, makes git-fsck-cache to check not only the
current GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY but also objects found in alternate object
pools and packed GIT archives.a

Patch for a completely rewritten file detected by the -B flag
was shown as a pair of creation followed by deletion in earlier
versions. This was an misguided attempt to make reviewing such
a complete rewrite easier, and unnecessarily ended up confusing
git-apply. Instead, show the entire contents of old version
prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new
version prefixed with '+'. This gives the same easy-to-review

modification patch for machine consumption, something that even

This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.
The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.
With this patch a graph like this:
a4 ---
| \ \
| b4 |
|/ | |
a3 | |
| | |
a2 | |
| | c3
| | |
| | c2
| b3 |
| | /|
| b2 |
| | c1
| | /
| b1
a1 |
| |
a0 |
| /
root
Sorts like this:
= a4
| c3
| c2
| c1
^ b4
| b3
| b2
| b1
^ a3
| a2
| a1
| a0
= root
Instead of this:
= a4
| c3
^ b4
| a3
^ c2
^ b3
^ a2
^ b2
^ c1
^ a1
^ b1
^ a0
= root
A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:
cd t
./t6000-rev-list.sh
cd trash
cat actual-default-order
cat actual-merge-order
The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.
This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.
This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8d.
This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)
This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

This addresses a concern raised by Jason McMullan in the mailing
list discussion. After retrieving and storing a potentially
deltified object, pull logic tries to check and fulfil its delta
dependency. When the pull procedure is killed at this point,
however, there was no easy way to recover by re-running pull,
since next run would have found that we already have that
deltified object and happily reported success, without really
checking its delta dependency is satisfied.
This patch introduces --recover option to git-*-pull family
which causes them to re-validate dependency of deltified objects
we are fetching. A new test t5100-delta-pull.sh covers such a
failure mode.

This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings:
- clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse";
rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically
they are different when -C is involved.
- describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was
implemented, documented but not described in usage text.
Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B),
this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by
the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to
diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody
else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines
are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between

When a remote repository is deltified, we need to get the
objects that a deltified object we want to obtain is based upon.
The initial parts of each retrieved SHA1 file is inflated and
inspected to see if it is deltified, and its base object is
asked from the remote side when it is. Since this partial
inflation and inspection has a small performance hit, it can
optionally be skipped by giving -d flag to git-*-pull commands.
This flag should be used only when the remote repository is
known to have no deltified objects.
Rsync transport does not have this problem since it fetches
everything the remote side has.

A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'

The score number that follow R/C status were parsed but the
parse pointer was not updated, causing the entire line to become
unrecognized. This patch fixes this problem.
There was a test missing to catch this breakage, which this
commit adds as t4009-diff-rename-4.sh. The diff-raw tests used
in related t4005-diff-rename-2.sh (the same test without -z) and
t4007-rename-3.sh were stricter than necessarily, despite that
the comment for the tests said otherwise. This patch also
corrects them.
The documentation is updated to say that the status can
optionally be followed by a number called "score"; it does not
have to stay similarity index forever and there is no reason to
limit it only to C and R.

This is a complete rewrite of ls-tree to make it behave more
like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory.
Namely, the changes are:
- Unlike the old ls-tree behaviour that used paths arguments to
restrict output (not that it worked as intended---as pointed
out in the mailing list discussion, it was quite incoherent),
this rewrite uses paths arguments to specify what to show.
- Without arguments, it implicitly uses the root level as its
sole argument ("/bin/ls -a" behaves as if "." is given
without argument).
- Without -r (recursive) flag, it shows the named blob (either
file or symlink), or the named tree and its immediate
children.
- With -r flag, it shows the named path, and recursively
descends into it if it is a tree.
- With -d flag, it shows the named path and does not show its
children even if the path is a tree, nor descends into it
recursively.
This is still request-for-comments patch. There is no mailing
list consensus that this proposed new behaviour is a good one.
The patch to t/t3100-ls-tree-restrict.sh illustrates
user-visible behaviour changes. Namely:
* "git-ls-tree $tree path1 path0" lists path1 first and then
path0. It used to use paths as an output restrictor and
showed output in cache entry order (i.e. path0 first and then
path1) regardless of the order of paths arguments.
* "git-ls-tree $tree path2" lists path2 and its immediate
children but having explicit paths argument does not imply
recursive behaviour anymore, hence paths/baz is shown but not
paths/baz/b.
