Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.
git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.
The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.
It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

With a configuration entry like this:
[remote "alt-git"]
url = git://repo.or.cz/alt.git/git/
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/alt-git/*
tagopt = --no-tags
you do not have to say "git pull --no-tags alt-git". Just
saying "git pull alt-git" would suffice.
Obviously, if you want to get the tag from such an alternate
remote in a separate namespace, you could also do something like:
[remote "alt-git"]
url = git://repo.or.cz/alt.git/git/
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/alt-git/*
fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/remote-tags/alt-git/*

Recent commit ae1dffcb28 by Junio
changed the way --upload-pack was passed around between clone,
fetch and ls-remote and modified the handling of the command
line parameter parsing.
Unfortunately FreeBSD 6.1 insists that the expression
expr --upload-pack=git-upload-pack : '-[^=]*=\(.*\)'
is illegal, as the --upload-pack option is not supported by their
implementation of expr.
Elsewhere in Git we use z as a leading prefix of both arguments,
ensuring the -- isn't seen by expr.

This converts scripts that do "cd $(rev-parse --show-cdup)" by

Sometimes, people have only fetch access into a bare repository
that is used as a back-up location (or a distribution point) but
does not have a push access for networking reasons, e.g. one end
being behind a firewall, and updating the "current branch" in
such a case is perfectly fine.
This allows such a fetch without --update-head-ok, which is a
flag that should never be used by end users otherwise.

Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter
was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code
needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to
ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and
not the lower-level actions it invoked.
At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action
function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on
what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only
takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
environment variable.

When checking which tags to fetch, the old code used to call
git-show-ref --verify for each remote tag. Since reading even
packed refs is not a cheap operation when there are a lot of
local refs, the code became quite slow.
This fixes it by teaching git-show-ref to filter out existing
refs using a new mode of operation of git-show-ref.

Unless --no-tags flag was given, git-fetch tried to always
follow remote tags that point at the commits we picked up.
It is not very useful to pick up tags from remote unless storing
the fetched branch head in a local tracking branch. This is
especially true if the fetch is done to merge the remote branch
into our current branch as one-shot basis (i.e. "please pull"),
and is even harmful if the remote repository has many irrelevant
tags.
This proposed update disables the automated tag following unless
we are storing the a fetched branch head in a local tracking
branch.
