Since 0f086e6dca (checkout: print something when checking out paths -
2018-11-13), this command reports how many paths have been updated
from what source (either from a tree, or from the index). I forget
that there's a third source: when -m is used, the merge conflict is
re-created (granted, also from the index, but it's not a straight copy
from the index).
Count and report unmerged paths separately. There's a bit more update
to avoid reporting:
Recreated X merge conflicts
Updated 0 paths from the index
The second line is unnecessary. Though if there's no conflict
recreation, we still report
Updated 0 paths from the index
to make it clear we're not really doing anything.

Commit 0f086e6dca [1] counts the number of files updated by "git
checkout -- <paths>" command and prints it. Later on 536ec1839d [2]
adds the ability to remove files in "git checkout -- <paths>". This is
still an update on worktree and should be reported to the user.
To prepare for such an update since that commit is on track to
'master' now, the messages are rephrased to avoid "checked out" which
does not imply file deletion.

This reverts 1495ff7da5 ("checkout: introduce checkout.overlayMode
config", 2019-01-08) and thus removes the checkout.overlayMode config
option.
The option was originally introduced to give users the option to make
the new no-overlay behaviour the default. However users may be using
'git checkout' in scripts, even though it is porcelain. Users setting
the option to false may actually end up accidentally breaking scripts.
With the introduction of a new subcommand that will make the behaviour
the default, the config option will not be needed anymore anyway.
Revert the commit and remove the config option, so we don't risk
breaking scripts.

Currently 'git checkout' is defined as an overlay operation, which
means that if in 'git checkout <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' we have an
entry in the index that matches <pathspec>, but that doesn't exist in
<tree-ish>, that entry will not be removed from the index or the
working tree.
Introduce a new --{,no-}overlay option, which allows using 'git
checkout' in non-overlay mode, thus removing files from the working
tree if they do not exist in <tree-ish> but match <pathspec>.
Note that 'git checkout -p <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' already works
this way, so no changes are needed for the patch mode. We disallow
'git checkout --overlay -p' to avoid confusing users who would expect
to be able to force overlay mode in 'git checkout -p' this way.
Untracked files are not affected by this change, so 'git checkout
--no-overlay HEAD -- untracked' will not remove untracked from the
working tree. This is so e.g. 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- dir/'
doesn't delete all untracked files in dir/, but rather just resets the
state of files that are known to git.

One of the problems with "git checkout" is that it does so many
different things and could confuse people specially when we fail to
handle ambiguation correctly.
One way to help with that is tell the user what sort of operation is
actually carried out. When switching branches, we always print
something unless --quiet, either
- "HEAD is now at ..."
- "Reset branch ..."
- "Already on ..."
- "Switched to and reset ..."
- "Switched to a new branch ..."
- "Switched to branch ..."
Checking out paths however is silent. Print something so that if we
got the user intention wrong, they won't waste too much time to find
that out. For the remaining cases of checkout we now print either
- "Checked out ... paths out of the index"
- "Checked out ... paths out of <abbrev hash>"
Since the purpose of printing this is to help disambiguate. Only do it
when "--" is missing.

When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when
certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior
otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the
conditions to turn
git checkout frotz
to
git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz
is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to
expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there
happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz"
file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2]
and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3].
We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple
"right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide.
Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate:
- "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo"
- "git checkout foo --" will dwim and create branch "foo" [4]
For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this
particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just
fail. But it could be used by scripts.

Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

It has been observed that the time spent loading an index with a large
number of entries is partly dominated by malloc() calls. This change
is in preparation for using memory pools to reduce the number of
malloc() calls made to allocate cahce entries when loading an index.
Add an API to allocate and discard cache entries, abstracting the
details of managing the memory backing the cache entries. This commit
does actually change how memory is managed - this will be done in a
later commit in the series.
This change makes the distinction between cache entries that are
associated with an index and cache entries that are not associated with
an index. A main use of cache entries is with an index, and we can
optimize the memory management around this. We still have other cases
where a cache entry is not persisted with an index, and so we need to
handle the "transient" use case as well.
To keep the congnitive overhead of managing the cache entries, there
will only be a single discard function. This means there must be enough
information kept with the cache entry so that we know how to discard
them.
A summary of the main functions in the API is:
make_cache_entry: create cache entry for use in an index. Uses specified
parameters to populate cache_entry fields.
make_empty_cache_entry: Create an empty cache entry for use in an index.
Returns cache entry with empty fields.
make_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in an
index. Uses specified parameters to populate
cache_entry fields.
make_empty_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in
an index. Returns cache entry with
empty fields.
discard_cache_entry: A single function that knows how to discard a cache
entry regardless of how it was allocated.

Introduce a checkout.defaultRemote setting which can be used to
designate a remote to prefer (via checkout.defaultRemote=origin) when
running e.g. "git checkout master" to mean origin/master, even though
there's other remotes that have the "master" branch.
I want this because it's very handy to use this workflow to checkout a
repository and create a topic branch, then get back to a "master" as
retrieved from upstream:
(
cd /tmp &&
rm -rf tbdiff &&
git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git &&
cd tbdiff &&
git branch -m topic &&
git checkout master
)
That will output:
Branch 'master' set up to track remote branch 'master' from 'origin'.
Switched to a new branch 'master'
But as soon as a new remote is added (e.g. just to inspect something
from someone else) the DWIMery goes away:
(
cd /tmp &&
rm -rf tbdiff &&
git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git &&
cd tbdiff &&
git branch -m topic &&
git remote add avar git@github.com:avar/tbdiff.git &&
git fetch avar &&
git checkout master
)
Will output (without the advice output added earlier in this series):
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
The new checkout.defaultRemote config allows me to say that whenever
that ambiguity comes up I'd like to prefer "origin", and it'll still
work as though the only remote I had was "origin".
Also adjust the advice.checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName message to
mention this new config setting to the user, the full output on my
git.git is now (the last paragraph is new):
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
hint: 'master' matched more than one remote tracking branch.
hint: We found 26 remotes with a reference that matched. So we fell back
hint: on trying to resolve the argument as a path, but failed there too!
hint:
hint: If you meant to check out a remote tracking branch on, e.g. 'origin',
hint: you can do so by fully qualifying the name with the --track option:
hint:
hint: git checkout --track origin/<name>
hint:
hint: If you'd like to always have checkouts of an ambiguous <name> prefer
hint: one remote, e.g. the 'origin' remote, consider setting
hint: checkout.defaultRemote=origin in your config.
I considered splitting this into checkout.defaultRemote and
worktree.defaultRemote, but it's probably less confusing to break our
own rules that anything shared between config should live in core.*
than have two config settings, and I couldn't come up with a short
name under core.* that made sense (core.defaultRemoteForCheckout?).

As the "checkout" documentation describes:
If <branch> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in
exactly one remote (call it <remote>) with a matching name, treat
as equivalent to [...] <remote>/<branch.
This is a really useful feature. The problem is that when you add
another remote (e.g. a fork), git won't find a unique branch name
anymore, and will instead print this unhelpful message:
$ git checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git
Now it will, on my git.git checkout, print:
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
hint: 'master' matched more than one remote tracking branch.
hint: We found 26 remotes with a reference that matched. So we fell back
hint: on trying to resolve the argument as a path, but failed there too!
hint:
hint: If you meant to check out a remote tracking branch on, e.g. 'origin',
hint: you can do so by fully qualifying the name with the --track option:
hint:
hint: git checkout --track origin/<name>
Note that the "error: pathspec[...]" message is still printed. This is
because whatever else checkout may have tried earlier, its final
fallback is to try to resolve the argument as a path. E.g. in this
case:
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master pu
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec 'pu' did not match any file(s) known to git.
There we don't print the "hint:" implicitly due to earlier logic
around the DWIM fallback. That fallback is only used if it looks like
we have one argument that might be a branch.
I can't think of an intrinsic reason for why we couldn't in some
future change skip printing the "error: pathspec[...]" error. However,
to do so we'd need to pass something down to checkout_paths() to make
it suppress printing an error on its own, and for us to be confident
that we're not silencing cases where those errors are meaningful.
I don't think that's worth it since determining whether that's the
case could easily change due to future changes in the checkout logic.

The strings allocated in `setup_unpack_trees_porcelain()` are never

non-trivial user is `unpack_trees_start()`, where we should place the

We keep the string pointers in an array, mixing pointers to static
memory and memory that we allocate on the heap. We also keep several
copies of the individual pointers. So we need to make sure that we do
not free what we must not free and that we do not double-free. Let a
separate argv_array take ownership of all the strings we create so that
we can easily free them.
Zero the whole array of string pointers to make sure that we do not

Don't bother tracking exactly which commits need their flags cleared,
just nuke all we have in-core. This change is safe because refs can
point at anything, so other program parts can't depend on any kept flags
anyway. And since all refs are loaded we have to basically deal with
