The regexp on the right hand side of expr : operator somehow was
broken.
expr 'z+pu:refs/tags/ko-pu' : 'z\+\(.*\)'
does not strip '+'; write 'z+\(.*\)' instead.
We probably should switch to shell based substring post 1.3.0;
that's not bashism but just POSIX anyway.

We can now easily fetch and merge things from heads in the

The refs/remotes/ hierarchy is likely to become the standard for

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.

[jc: I have a mild suspicion that this is a broken environment (aka

you would need such workaround everywhere, not just git. But we

I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags
easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the

more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as
well.

When doing something like
git fetch --tags origin
the excessively verbose output of git fetch makes the result totally
unreadable. It's impossible to tell if it actually fetched anything new or
not, since the screen will fill up with an endless supply of
...
* committish: 9165ec17fd
tag 'v0.99.7c' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
* refs/tags/v0.99.7c: same as tag 'v0.99.7c' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
...
and any new tags that got fetched will be totally hidden.
So add a new "--verbose" flag to "git fetch" to enable this verbose mode,
but make the default be quiet.
NOTE! The quiet mode will still report about new or changed heads, so if
you are really fetching a new head, you'll see something like this:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git fetch --tags parent
Packing 6 objects
Unpacking 6 objects
100% (6/6) done
* refs/tags/v1.0rc2: storing tag 'v1.0rc2' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
* refs/tags/v1.0rc3: storing tag 'v1.0rc3' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
* refs/tags/v1.0rc1: storing tag 'v1.0rc1' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
which actually tells you something useful that isn't hidden by all the
useless crud that you already had.
Extensively tested (hey, for me, this _is_ extensive) by doing a
rm .git/refs/tags/v1.0rc*
and re-fetching with both --verbose and without.
NOTE! This means that if the fetch didn't actually fetch anything at all,
git fetch will be totally quiet. I think that's much better than being so
verbose that you can't even tell whether something was fetched or not, but
some people might prefer to get a "nothing to fetch" message in that case.

Note that "funny ref" bits are not strictly fixes but rather
backport from the "master" branch. They will prevent refs and
heads with funny names from being created. In addition, what is
in the master branch will start feeding the clients unwrapped
tag information to help Martin's findtags and possibly later
Cogito. These backported "funny ref" changes are to prevent
clients on the "maint" branch from getting confused when talking
with newer git-upload-pack and when reading from info/refs file
prepared with newer git-update-server-info.

to find out what object each of the remote tags refers to, and
if he has one locally, run "git-fetch $remote tag $tagname" to
automatically catch up with the upstream tags.

"git-fetch --tags" can get confused with tags with spaces in their names,
it used to use shell IFS to split the list of tags and also used curl

moodle repository http://locke.catalyst.net.nz/git/moodle.git/.
We still reserve characters like leading plus-sign '+' and colon
':' anywhere to represent refspec src-dst pair, and obviously we
cannot use LF (that terminates Pull: line in .git/remotes

For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols,
use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server
side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel).
However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the
client end, which we did not bother doing until this week.

since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not

(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.

When the "git pull" command updates the branch head you are
currently on, before doing anything else, first update your
index file and the working tree contents to that of the new
branch head. Otherwise, the later resolving steps would think
your index file is attempting to revert the change between the
original head commit and the updated head commit.
It uses two-tree fast-forward form of "read-tree -m -u" to
prevent losing whatever local changes you may have in the
working tree to do this update. I think this would at least
make things safer (a lot safer), and prevent mistakes.
Also "git fetch" command is forbidden from fetching and fast
forwarding the current branch head unless --update-head-ok flag
is given. "git pull" passes the flag when it internally calls
"git fetch".

With this we could say:

if "origin" makes sense, default to fetch/pull from "origin"
instead of barfing.

explicit refspecs are specified, and did not make sure we know
what "origin" means before defaulting to it.]

Traditionally, fetch takes these forms:
$ git fetch <remote>
$ git fetch <remote> <head>
$ git fetch <remote> tag <tag>
This patch updates it to take
$ git fetch <remote> <refspec>...
where:
- A <refspec> of form "<src>:<dst>" is to fetch the objects
needed for the remote ref that matches <src>, and if <dst>
is not empty, store it as a local <dst>.
- "tag" followed by <next> is just an old way of saying
"refs/tags/<next>:refs/tags/<next>"; this mimics the
current behaviour of the third form above and means "fetch
that tag and store it under the same name".
- A single token <refspec> without colon is a shorthand for
"<refspec>:" That is, "fetch that ref but do not store
anywhere".
- when there is no <refspec> specified
- if <remote> is the name of a file under $GIT_DIR/remotes/
(i.e. a new-style shorthand), then it is the same as giving
the <refspec>s listed on Pull: line in that file.
- if <remote> is the name of a file under $GIT_DIR/branches/
(i.e. an old-style shorthand, without trailing path), then it
is the same as giving a single <refspec>
"<remote-name>:refs/heads/<remote>" on the command line, where
<remote-name> is the remote branch name (defaults to HEAD, but
can be overridden by .git/branches/<remote> file having the
URL fragment notation). That is, "fetch that branch head and
store it in refs/heads/<remote>".
- otherwise, it is the same as giving a single <refspec>
that is "HEAD:".
The SHA1 object names of fetched refs are stored in FETCH_HEAD,
one name per line, with a comment to describe where it came from.
This is later used by "git resolve" and "git octopus".
