In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \
t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\

In some tests, the default branch name is part of aligned output. As we
want to change the default branch name to `main`, which is two
characters shorter than the old default branch name, we will have to
adjust those tests.
Since we use the original default branch name until the entire test
suite has been adjusted accordingly, the touched test cases need to be
guarded by a prereq (that is so far disabled so that they are skipped
for now).
The test cases that depend on those test cases that are newly guarded by
that prereq naturally have to be guarded, too.

A "git gc"'s big brother has been introduced to take care of more
repository maintenance tasks, not limited to the object database
cleaning.
* ds/maintenance-part-1:
maintenance: add trace2 regions for task execution
maintenance: add auto condition for commit-graph task
maintenance: use pointers to check --auto
maintenance: create maintenance.<task>.enabled config
maintenance: take a lock on the objects directory
maintenance: add --task option
maintenance: add commit-graph task
maintenance: initialize task array
maintenance: replace run_auto_gc()
maintenance: add --quiet option
maintenance: create basic maintenance runner
The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check
for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or
'git fetch'.
To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace
the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run
--auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other
steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities.
Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is
happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff.
Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls
slightly.
Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'
subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more
descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the
documentation to include these options at the same time.

887952b8c6 ("fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update",
2020-08-18) introduced the ability to disable writing to FETCH_HEAD
during fetch, but did not suppress the "<source> -> FETCH_HEAD" message
when this ability is used. This message is misleading in this case,
because FETCH_HEAD is not written. Also, because "fetch" is used to
lazy-fetch missing objects in a partial clone, this significantly
clutters up the output in that case since the objects to be fetched are
potentially numerous.
Therefore, suppress this message when --no-write-fetch-head is passed
(but not when --dry-run is set).

If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches,
and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are
merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking
refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately),
you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all.
Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head".
The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily
meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default,
because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration
variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive
form may become necessary to defeat it).
Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written;
otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not
actually have. Passing `--write-fetch-head` does not force `git
fetch` to write the file.

In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:
test_expect_success 'name' '
do-something somehow &&
do-some-more testing
'
When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line test section
is actually closing the lone single quotes that surround it.
It can be a non-issue in practice:
test_expect_success 'sed a little' '
sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out # "ok": no whitespace in s/hi/lo/
'
Or it can be a bug in the test, e.g., because variable interpolation
happens before the test even begins executing:
v=abc
test_expect_success 'variable interpolation' '
v=def &&
echo '"$v"' # abc
'
Change several such in-test single quotes to use double quotes instead
or, in a few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using
some crude grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're
hopefully making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain.
There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new
one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single
quote. I'm not touching any of those here.

Currently we detect the hash algorithm in use by the length of the
object ID. This is inelegant and prevents us from using a different
hash algorithm that is also 256 bits in length.
Since we cannot extend the v2 format in a backward-compatible way, let's
add a v3 format, which is identical, except for the addition of
capabilities, which are prefixed by an at sign. We add "object-format"
as the only capability and reject unknown capabilities, since we do not
have a network connection and therefore cannot negotiate with the other
side.
For compatibility, default to the v2 format for SHA-1 and require v3
for SHA-256.
In t5510, always use format v3 so we can be sure we produce consistent
results across hash algorithms. Since head -n N lists the top N lines
instead of the Nth line, let's run our output through sed to normalize
it and compare it against a fixed value, which will make sure we get
exactly what we're expecting.

To prevent long blocking time during a 'git fetch' call, a user
may want to set up a schedule for background 'git fetch' processes.
However, these runs will update the refs/remotes branches due to
the default refspec set in the config when Git adds a remote.
Hence the user will not notice when remote refs are updated during
their foreground fetches. In fact, they may _want_ those refs to
stay put so they can work with the refs from their last foreground
fetch call.
This can be accomplished by overriding the configured refspec using
'--refmap=' along with a custom refspec:
git fetch --refmap='' <remote> +refs/heads/*:refs/hidden/<remote>/*
to populate a custom ref space and download a pack of the new
reachable objects. This kind of call allows a few things to happen:
1. We download a new pack if refs have updated.
2. Since the refs/hidden branches exist, GC will not remove the
newly-downloaded data.
3. With fetch.writeCommitGraph enabled, the refs/hidden refs are
used to update the commit-graph file.
To avoid the refs/hidden directory from filling without bound, the
--prune option can be included. When providing a refspec like this,
the --prune option does not delete remote refs and instead only
deletes refs in the target refspace.
Update the documentation to clarify how '--refmap=""' works and
create tests to guarantee this behavior remains in the future.

The previous commit includes a failing test for an issue around
fetch.writeCommitGraph and fetching in a repo with a submodule. Here, we
fix that bug and set the test to "test_expect_success".
The problem arises with this set of commands when the remote repo at
<url> has a submodule. Note that --recurse-submodules is not needed to
demonstrate the bug.
$ git clone <url> test
$ cd test
$ git -c fetch.writeCommitGraph=true fetch origin
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (12/12), done.
BUG: commit-graph.c:886: missing parent <hash1> for commit <hash2>
Aborted (core dumped)
As an initial fix, I converted the code in builtin/fetch.c that calls
write_commit_graph_reachable() to instead launch a "git commit-graph
write --reachable --split" process. That code worked, but is not how we
want the feature to work long-term.
That test did demonstrate that the issue must be something to do with
internal state of the 'git fetch' process.
The write_commit_graph() method in commit-graph.c ensures the commits we
plan to write are "closed under reachability" using close_reachable().
This method walks from the input commits, and uses the UNINTERESTING
flag to mark which commits have already been visited. This allows the
walk to take O(N) time, where N is the number of commits, instead of
O(P) time, where P is the number of paths. (The number of paths can be
exponential in the number of commits.)
However, the UNINTERESTING flag is used in lots of places in the
codebase. This flag usually means some barrier to stop a commit walk,
such as in revision-walking to compare histories. It is not often
cleared after the walk completes because the starting points of those
walks do not have the UNINTERESTING flag, and clear_commit_marks() would
stop immediately.
This is happening during a 'git fetch' call with a remote. The fetch
negotiation is comparing the remote refs with the local refs and marking
some commits as UNINTERESTING.
I tested running clear_commit_marks_many() to clear the UNINTERESTING
flag inside close_reachable(), but the tips did not have the flag, so
that did nothing.
It turns out that the calculate_changed_submodule_paths() method is at
fault. Thanks, Peff, for pointing out this detail! More specifically,
for each submodule, the collect_changed_submodules() runs a revision
walk to essentially do file-history on the list of submodules. That
revision walk marks commits UNININTERESTING if they are simplified away
by not changing the submodule.
Instead, I finally arrived on the conclusion that I should use a flag
that is not used in any other part of the code. In commit-reach.c, a
number of flags were defined for commit walk algorithms. The REACHABLE
flag seemed like it made the most sense, and it seems it was not
actually used in the file. The REACHABLE flag was used in early versions
of commit-reach.c, but was removed by 4fbcca4 (commit-reach: make
can_all_from_reach... linear, 2018-07-20).
Add the REACHABLE flag to commit-graph.c and use it instead of
UNINTERESTING in close_reachable(). This fixes the bug in manual
testing.

While dogfooding, Johannes found a bug in the fetch.writeCommitGraph
config behavior. His example initially happened during a clone with
--recurse-submodules, we found that this happens with the first fetch
after cloning a repository that contains a submodule:
$ git clone <url> test
$ cd test
$ git -c fetch.writeCommitGraph=true fetch origin
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (12/12), done.
BUG: commit-graph.c:886: missing parent <hash1> for commit <hash2>
Aborted (core dumped)
In the repo I had cloned, there were really 60 commits to scan, but
only 12 were in the list to write when calling
compute_generation_numbers(). A commit in the list expects to see a
parent, but that parent is not in the list.
A follow-up will fix the bug, but first we create a test that
demonstrates the problem. This test must be careful about an existing
commit-graph file, since GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1 will cause the repo we
are cloning to already have one. This then prevents the incremtnal
commit-graph write during the first 'git fetch'.

A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit
graph after finishing.
* ds/commit-graph-on-fetch:
fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting
The commit-graph feature is now on by default, and is being
written during 'git gc' by default. Typically, Git only writes
a commit-graph when a 'git gc --auto' command passes the gc.auto
setting to actualy do work. This means that a commit-graph will
typically fall behind the commits that are being used every day.
To stay updated with the latest commits, add a step to 'git
fetch' to write a commit-graph after fetching new objects. The
fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting enables writing a split
commit-graph, so on average the cost of writing this file is
very small. Occasionally, the commit-graph chain will collapse
to a single level, and this could be slow for very large repos.
For additional use, adjust the default to be true when
feature.experimental is enabled.

After updating a set of remove refs during a 'git fetch', we walk the
commits in the new ref value and not in the old ref value to discover
if the update was a forced update. This results in two things happening
during the command:
1. The line including the ref update has an additional "(forced-update)"
marker at the end.
2. The ref log for that remote branch includes a bit saying that update
is a forced update.
For many situations, this forced-update message happens infrequently, or
is a small bit of information among many ref updates. Many users ignore
these messages, but the calculation required here slows down their fetches
significantly. Keep in mind that they do not have the opportunity to
calculate a commit-graph file containing the newly-fetched commits, so
these comparisons can be very slow.
Add a '--[no-]show-forced-updates' option that allows a user to skip this
calculation. The only permanent result is dropping the forced-update bit
in the reflog.
Include a new fetch.showForcedUpdates config setting that allows this
behavior without including the argument in every command. The config
setting is overridden by the command-line arguments.

"git gc --auto" opens file descriptors for the packfiles before

not want a process to work on a file that is open by another
process. The issue has been worked around.
* kg/gc-auto-windows-workaround:
gc --auto: release pack files before auto packing
When matching a non-wildcard LHS of a refspec against a list of
refs, find_ref_by_name_abbrev() returns the first ref that matches
using any DWIM rules used by refname_match() in refs.c, even if a
better match occurs later in the list of refs.
This causes unexpected behavior when (for example) fetching using
the refspec "refs/heads/s:<something>" from a remote with both
"refs/heads/refs/heads/s" and "refs/heads/s"; even if the former was
inadvertently created, one would still expect the latter to be
fetched. Similarly, when both a tag T and a branch T exist,
fetching T should favor the tag, just like how local refname
disambiguation rule works. But because the code walks over
ls-remote output from the remote, which happens to be sorted in
alphabetical order and has refs/heads/T before refs/tags/T, a
request to fetch T is (mis)interpreted as fetching refs/heads/T.
Update refname_match(), all of whose current callers care only if it
returns non-zero (i.e. matches) to see if an abbreviated name can
mean the full name being tested, so that it returns a positive
integer whose magnitude can be used to tell the precedence, and fix
the find_ref_by_name_abbrev() function not to stop at the first
match but find the match with the highest precedence.
This is based on an earlier work, which special cased only the exact
matches, by Jonathan Tan.

This will speed up negotiation when the repository has multiple

have commits in common with the upstream branch they are fetching.

Clarify how configured fetch refspecs interact with the "--prune"
option of "git fetch", and also add a handy short-hand for getting
rid of stale tags that are locally held.
* ab/fetch-prune:
fetch: make the --prune-tags work with <url>
fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags config
fetch tests: add scaffolding for the new fetch.pruneTags
git-fetch & config doc: link to the new PRUNING section
git remote doc: correct dangerous lies about what prune does
git fetch doc: add a new section to explain the ins & outs of pruning
fetch tests: fetch <url> <spec> as well as fetch [<remote>]
fetch tests: expand case/esac for later change
fetch tests: double quote a variable for interpolation
fetch tests: test --prune and refspec interaction
fetch tests: add a tag to be deleted to the pruning tests
fetch tests: re-arrange arguments for future readability
fetch tests: refactor in preparation for testing tag pruning
remote: add a macro for "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*"
fetch: stop accessing "remote" variable indirectly
fetch: trivially refactor assignment to ref_nr
fetch: don't redundantly NULL something calloc() gave us
Make the new --prune-tags option work properly when git-fetch is
invoked with a <url> parameter instead of a <remote name>
parameter.
This change is split off from the introduction of --prune-tags due to
the relative complexity of munging the incoming argv, which is easier
to review as a separate change.

Add a --prune-tags option to git-fetch, along with fetch.pruneTags
config option and a -P shorthand (-p is --prune). This allows for
doing any of:
git fetch -p -P
git fetch --prune --prune-tags
git fetch -p -P origin
git fetch --prune --prune-tags origin
Or simply:
git config fetch.prune true &&
git config fetch.pruneTags true &&
git fetch
Instead of the much more verbose:
git fetch --prune origin 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
Before this feature it was painful to support the use-case of pulling
from a repo which is having both its branches *and* tags deleted
regularly, and have our local references to reflect upstream.
At work we create deployment tags in the repo for each rollout, and
there's *lots* of those, so they're archived within weeks for
performance reasons.
Without this change it's hard to centrally configure such repos in
/etc/gitconfig (on servers that are only used for working with
them). You need to set fetch.prune=true globally, and then for each
repo:
git -C {} config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" "^\+*refs/tags/\*:refs/tags/\*$"
Now I can simply set fetch.pruneTags=true in /etc/gitconfig as well,
and users running "git pull" will automatically get the pruning
semantics I want.
Even though "git remote" has corresponding "prune" and "update
--prune" subcommands I'm intentionally not adding a corresponding
prune-tags or "update --prune --prune-tags" mode to that command.
It's advertised (as noted in my recent "git remote doc: correct
dangerous lies about what prune does") as only modifying remote
tracking references, whereas any --prune-tags option is always going
to modify what from the user's perspective is a local copy of the tag,
since there's no such thing as a remote tracking tag.
Ideally add_prune_tags_to_fetch_refspec() would be something that
would use ALLOC_GROW() to grow the 'fetch` member of the 'remote'
struct. Instead I'm realloc-ing remote->fetch and adding the
tag_refspec to the end.
The reason is that parse_{fetch,push}_refspec which allocate the
refspec (ultimately remote->fetch) struct are called many places that
don't have access to a 'remote' struct. It would be hard to change all
their callsites to be amenable to carry around the bookkeeping
variables required for dynamic allocation.
All the other callers of the API first incrementally construct the
string version of the refspec in remote->fetch_refspec via
add_fetch_refspec(), before finally calling parse_fetch_refspec() via
some variation of remote_get().
It's less of a pain to deal with the one special case that needs to
modify already constructed refspecs than to chase down and change all
the other callsites. The API I'm adding is intentionally not
generalized because if we add more of these we'd probably want to
re-visit how this is done.

When a remote URL is supplied on the command-line the internals of the
fetch are different, in particular the code in get_ref_map(). An
earlier version of the subsequent fetch.pruneTags patch hid a segfault
because the difference wasn't tested for.
Now all the tests are run as both of the variants of:
git fetch
git -c [...] fetch $(git config remote.origin.url) $(git config remote.origin.fetch)
I'm using -c because while the [fetch] config just set by
set_config_tristate will be picked up, the remote.origin.* config
won't override it as intended.
Work around that and turn this into a purely command-line test by
always setting the variables on the command-line, and translate any
setting of remote.origin.X into fetch.X.
The reason for choosing the names "name" and "link" as opposed to
e.g. "named" and "url" is because they're the same length, which makes
the test output easier to read as it will be aligned.
Due to shellscript quoting madness it's not worthwhile to do all of
this within a test_expect_success, but do the parts that can easily be
done there, including the one-time setting of variables that don't
change between runs to be used by subsequent runs in the 'prune_type
setup' test.

Improve the look of the way "git fetch" reports what happened to
each ref that was fetched.

fetch: reduce duplicate in ref update status lines with placeholder
fetch: align all "remote -> local" output
fetch: change flag code for displaying tag update and deleted ref
fetch: refactor ref update status formatting code
git-fetch.txt: document fetch output
In the "remote -> local" line, if either ref is a substring of the
other, the common part in the other string is replaced with "*". For
example
abc -> origin/abc
refs/pull/123/head -> pull/123
become
abc -> origin/*
refs/*/head -> pull/123
Activated with fetch.output=compact.
For the record, this output is not perfect. A single giant ref can
push all refs very far to the right and likely be wrapped around. We
may have a few options:
- exclude these long lines smarter
- break the line after "->", exclude it from column width calculation
- implement a new format, { -> origin/}foo, which makes the problem
go away at the cost of a bit harder to read
- reverse all the arrows so we have "* <- looong-ref", again still
hard to read.

The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run

trigger following error message from the test harness:

The test in question forces an auto-gc, which, if the system supports
it, runs in the background by default, and occasionally takes long
enough for the test to finish and for 'test_done' to start
housekeeping. This can lead to the test's 'git gc --auto' in the
background and 'test_done's 'rm -rf $trash' in the foreground racing
each other to create and delete files and directories. It might just
happen that 'git gc' re-creates a directory that 'rm -rf' already
visited and removed, which ultimately triggers the above error.
Disable detaching the auto-gc process to ensure that it finishes
before the test can continue, thus avoiding this racy situation.

It turns out "git clone" over rsync transport has been broken when
the source repository has packed references for a long time, and
nobody noticed nor complained about it.
* jk/drop-rsync-transport:
transport: drop support for git-over-rsync
The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and
has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than
it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/",
regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc
parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but
doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones,
leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side
to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry,
or complaining that the other side has two copies of the
refs[1]).
This latter breakage means that nobody could have
successfully pulled from a moderately active repository
since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01).
We never made an official deprecation notice in the release
notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked
it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30).
And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find
Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite
some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had
deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did
come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!).
Of course some people professed their love of rsync through
2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]:
> Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though
> everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is
> deprecated."
No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing
something _wrong_.
The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a
mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7].
Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4)
lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal
warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken
since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without
further deprecation warnings.

When a remote has multiple fetch refspecs and these overlap in the
target namespace, fetch may prune a remote-tracking branch which still
exists in the remote. The test uses a popular form of this, by putting
pull requests as stored in a popular hosting platform alongside "real"
remote-tracking branches.
The fetch command makes a decision of whether to prune based
on the first matching refspec, which in this case is insufficient, as it
covers the pull request names. This pair of refspecs does work as
expected if the more "specific" refspec is the first in the list.

"git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref
directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different
validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the
client side's validation to allow such a ref.
* jk/allow-fetch-onelevel-refname:
fetch-pack: do not filter out one-level refs
Currently fetching a one-level ref like "refs/foo" does not
work consistently. The outer "git fetch" program filters the
list of refs, checking each against check_refname_format.
Then it feeds the result to do_fetch_pack to actually
negotiate the haves/wants and get the pack. The fetch-pack
code does its own filter, and it behaves differently.
The fetch-pack filter looks for refs in "refs/", and then
feeds everything _after_ the slash (i.e., just "foo") into
check_refname_format. But check_refname_format is not
designed to look at a partial refname. It complains that the
ref has only one component, thinking it is at the root
(i.e., alongside "HEAD"), when in reality we just fed it a
partial refname.
As a result, we omit a ref like "refs/foo" from the pack
request, even though "git fetch" then tries to store the
resulting ref. If we happen to get the object anyway (e.g.,
because the ref is contained in another ref we are
fetching), then the fetch succeeds. But if it is a unique
object, we fail when trying to update "refs/foo".
We can fix this by just passing the whole refname into
check_refname_format; we know the part we were omitting is
"refs/", which is acceptable in a refname. This at least
makes the checks consistent with each other.
This problem happens most commonly with "refs/stash", which
is the only one-level ref in wide use. However, our test
does not use "refs/stash", as we may later want to restrict
it specifically (not because it is one-level, but because
of the semantics of stashes).
We may also want to do away with the multiple levels of
filtering (which can cause problems when they are out of
sync), or even forbid one-level refs entirely. However,
those decisions can come later; this fixes the most
immediate problem, which is the mismatch between the two.

The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being
fetched. In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only
to be fetched, but also to be pruned. This is inappropriate because
there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local
repository and all remotes. Therefore, if the user defines a local
tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is
deleted. Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via
fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it
even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in
tag lossage.
Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the
same problem.
The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the
setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent
with that of the other commands.
So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags. To fix this
problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on
refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line
or via remote.<name>.fetch. Thus, tags are no longer made subject to
pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.
However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as
part of a refspec, and that is good. For example:
* On the command line,
git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is
therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old
behavior of "--prune --tag".
* For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the
configuration is set to include
[remote "name"]
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
, which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other
references. This is the behavior that will typically be desired for
a mirror.

Previously, fetch's "--tags" option was considered equivalent to
specifying the refspec "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" on the command line;
in particular, it caused the remote.<name>.refspec configuration to be
ignored.
But it is not very useful to fetch tags without also fetching other
references, whereas it *is* quite useful to be able to fetch tags *in
addition to* other references. So change the semantics of this option
to do the latter.
If a user wants to fetch *only* tags, then it is still possible to
specifying an explicit refspec:
git fetch <remote> 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
Please note that the documentation prior to 1.8.0.3 was ambiguous
about this aspect of "fetch --tags" behavior. Commit

"refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*", and supersedes any default refspecs
configured via remote.$REMOTE.fetch.
* "--prune" only operates on the refspecs being fetched.
Therefore, "git fetch --prune --tags" prunes tags in refs/tags/* but
does not fetch or prune other references. The fact that this command
does not prune references outside of refs/tags/* was previously
untested. So add a test that verifies the status quo.
However, the status quo is surprising, so it will be changed later in
this patch series.

"git fetch" was being used with contrived refspecs to create tags and
remote-tracking branches in test repositories in preparation for the
actual tests. This is obscure and also makes one wonder whether this
is indeed just preparation or whether some side-effect of "git fetch"
is being tested.
So use the more straightforward commands "git tag" / "git update-ref"
when preparing branches in test repositories.

Allow fetch.prune and remote.*.prune configuration variables to be set,
and "git fetch" to behave as if "--prune" is given.
"git fetch" that honors remote.*.prune is fine, but I wonder if we
should somehow make "git push" aware of it as well. Perhaps
remote.*.prune should not be just a boolean, but a 4-way "none",
"push", "fetch", "both"?
* ms/fetch-prune-configuration:
fetch: make --prune configurable
Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever. Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".
To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":
- "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.
- "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.
The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.
Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

Since commit f269048 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11) we update tracking refs opportunistically when fetching
remote branches. However, if there is a configured non-pattern refspec
that does not match any of the refspecs given on the command line then a
fatal error occurs.
Fix this by setting the "missing_ok" flag when calling get_fetch_map.

When we run a regular "git fetch" without arguments, we
update the tracking refs according to the configured
refspec. However, when we run "git fetch origin master" (or
"git pull origin master"), we do not look at the configured
refspecs at all, and just update FETCH_HEAD.
We miss an opportunity to update "refs/remotes/origin/master"
(or whatever the user has configured). Some users find this
confusing, because they would want to do further comparisons
against the old state of the remote master, like:
$ git pull origin master
$ git log HEAD...origin/master
In the currnet code, they are comparing against whatever
commit happened to be in origin/master from the last time
they did a complete "git fetch". This patch will update a
ref from the RHS of a configured refspec whenever we happen
to be fetching its LHS. That makes the case above work.
The downside is that any users who really care about whether
and when their tracking branches are updated may be
surprised.

We have three sequential tests for for whether tracking refs
are updated by various fetches and pulls; the first two
should not update the ref, and the third should. Each test
depends on the state left by the test before.
This is fragile (a failing early test will confuse later
tests), and means we cannot add more "should update" tests
after the third one.
Let's instead save the initial state before these tests, and
then reset to a known state before running each test.

update_local_ref() used to say "[new branch]" when we stored a new ref
outside refs/tags/ hierarchy, but the message is more about what we
fetched, so use the refname at the origin to make that decision.
Also, only call a new ref a "branch" if it's under refs/heads/.

"git bundle" did not record boundary commits correctly when there
are many of them.
By Thomas Rast
* tr/maint-bundle-boundary:
bundle: keep around names passed to add_pending_object()
t5510: ensure we stay in the toplevel test dir
t5510: refactor bundle->pack conversion
The 'name' field passed to add_pending_object() is used to later
deduplicate in object_array_remove_duplicates().
git-bundle had a bug in this area since 18449ab (git-bundle: avoid
packing objects which are in the prerequisites, 2007-03-08): it passed
the name of each boundary object in a static buffer. In other words,
all that object_array_remove_duplicates() saw was the name of the
*last* added boundary object.
The recent switch to a strbuf in bc2fed4 (bundle: use a strbuf to scan
the log for boundary commits, 2012-02-22) made this slightly worse: we
now free the buffer at the end, so it is not even guaranteed that it
still points into addressable memory by the time object_array_remove_
duplicates looks at it. On the plus side however, it was now
detectable by valgrind.
The fix is easy: pass a copy of the string to add_pending_object.

The FETCH_HEAD refname is supposed to refer to the ref that was fetched
and should be merged. However all fetched refs are written to
.git/FETCH_HEAD in an arbitrary order, and resolve_ref_unsafe simply
takes the first ref as the FETCH_HEAD, which is often the wrong one,
when other branches were also fetched.
The solution is to write the for-merge ref(s) to FETCH_HEAD first.
Then, unless --append is used, the FETCH_HEAD refname behaves as intended.
If the user uses --append, they presumably are doing so in order to
preserve the old FETCH_HEAD.
While we are at it, update an old example in the read-tree documentation
that implied that each entry in FETCH_HEAD only has the object name, which
is not true for quite a while.

"git log frotz" can DWIM to "refs/remotes/frotz/HEAD", but in the remote
access context, "git fetch frotz" to fetch what the other side happened to
have fetched from what it calls 'frotz' (which may not have any relation
to what we consider is 'frotz') the last time would not make much sense,
so the fetch rules table did not include "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD".
When the user really wants to, "git fetch $there remotes/frotz/HEAD" would
let her do so anyway, so this is not about safety or security; it merely
is about confusion avoidance and discouraging meaningless usage.
Specifically, it is _not_ about ambiguity avoidance. A name that would
become ambiguous if we use the same rules table for both fetch and local
rev-parse would be ambiguous locally at the remote side.
So for the same reason as we added rule to allow "git fetch $there v1.0"
instead of "git fetch $there tags/v1.0" in the previous commit, here is a
bit longer rope for the users, which incidentally simplifies our code.

If --tags is specified, add that refspec to the list given to

If the user gave us refspecs on the command line, we should use those
when deciding whether to prune a ref instead of relying on the
refspecs in the config.
Previously, running
git fetch --prune origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
would delete every other ref under the origin namespace because we
were using the refspec to filter the available refs but using the
configured refspec to figure out if a ref had been deleted on the
remote. This is clearly the wrong thing to do.
Change prune_refs and get_stale_heads to simply accept a list of
references and a list of refspecs. The caller of either function needs
to decide what refspecs should be used to decide whether a ref is
stale.

URL and the current branch had a configured merge spec. This commit
expands the original test based on comments from Junio Hamano. In addition
to actually verifying that the fetch updates FETCH_HEAD correctly, and does
not update the current branch, two more tests are added to ensure that the
merge configuration is ignored even when the supplied URL matches the URL
of the remote configured for the branch.

Format the subshells introduced by the previous patch (Several tests:

(

This is generally easier to read and has the nice side-effect that
this patch will show what commands are used in the subshell, making
it easier to check for lost environment variables and similar
