If we have a 64 bit address space we can easily afford to commit
a larger amount of virtual address space to pack file access.
So on these platforms we should increase the default settings of
core.packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} to something that will better
handle very large projects.
Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for pointing out that we can safely

This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.
We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.
In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.
I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing. We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

Rather than hardcoding the maximum number of bytes which can be
mmapped from pack files we should make this value configurable,
allowing the end user to increase or decrease this limit on a
per-repository basis depending on the size of the repository
and the capabilities of their operating system.
In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level
setting within the core code, but being able to artifically limit
the number of bytes which we can mmap at once from pack files will
make it easier to craft test cases for the new mmap sliding window
implementation.

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.

It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a
different encoding from i18n.commitencoding -- the project's
policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8). Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.
The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a
regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as:
* pack-refs --prune
* reflog expire
* repack -a -d
* prune
* rerere gc
So here is a command which does exactly that. The parameters fed
to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting
configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may
want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't
be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

file whose name matches an ignored pattern could not be added to

Fileglobs and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files to
the index. That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and
two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree:
$ git add foo.o
$ git add '*.o'
$ git add bar

Now that 'git add' is considered a first-class UI for 'update-index'
and that the 'git add' documentation states "Even modified files
must be added to the set of changes about to be committed" we should
make the output of 'git status' align with that documentation and
common usage.
So now we see a status output such as:
# Added but not yet committed:
# (will commit)
#
# new file: x
#
# Changed but not added:
# (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit)
#
# modified: x
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add" on files to include for commit)
#
# y
which just reads better in the context of using 'git add' to
manipulate a commit (and not a checkin, whatever the heck that is).
We also now support 'color.status.added' as an alias for the existing
'color.status.updated', as this alias more closely aligns with the
current output and documentation.

New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).
So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:
[core]
logAllRefUpdates = false
in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.
We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.
Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are
likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing
they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects'

Back in the old days of Git when people messed around with their
GIT_DIR environment variable more often it was nice to know whether
or not git-init-db created a .git directory or used GIT_DIR.
As most users at that time were rather technical UNIXy folk the
message "defaulting to local storage area" made sense to some and
seemed reasonable.
But it doesn't really convey any meaning to the new Git user,
as they don't know what a 'local storage area is' nor do they
know enough about Git to care. It also really doesn't tell the
experienced Git user a whole lot about the command they just ran,
especially if they might be reinitializing an existing repository
(e.g. to update hooks).
So now we print out what we did ("Initialized empty" or
"Reinitialized existing"), what type of repository ("" or "shared"),
and what location the repository will be in ("$GIT_DIR").

This reverts commit 4c81c213a4.
Although --cached and --index are confusing wording, the use of
word --cached for git-diff is consistent with git-apply. It means
"work with index without looking at the working tree".
We should probably come up with better wording for --cached, if
somebody wants to deprecate it. But making --index and --cached
synonyms for diff while leaving them mean different things for
apply is no good.
While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches. The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.
This patch does the same thing for
- git-log (color.diff)
- git-status (color.status)
- git-diff (color.diff)
- pager (color.pager)
I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions. I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.
Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I

This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.
Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.
Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model
without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the
technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page.
Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that
content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter. You
just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing
git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course).
No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files
please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have
when using GIT.

With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare

It was called --use-immingled-remote.
Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it

--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote

Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of
structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a
symbolic constant representing its type.
The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line
switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote
branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local
branches or remote branches".
As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in
print_ref_list() where it used.
Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the
list creation was never freed.

One new thing is that the (abscence of) --thin also enforce it on

_not_ asked for.

Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects
should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack
to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
--fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the
number of objects contained in the received pack.
If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is
below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default)
then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.
If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and
ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it
easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository.
Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack. We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small. Instead we
want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have
been updated. That is being left as room for future improvement.

To prevent a race condition between `index-pack --stdin` and
`repack -a -d` where the repack deletes the newly created pack
file before any refs are updated to reference objects contained
within it we mark the pack file as one that should be kept. This
removes it from the list of packs that `repack -a -d` will consider
for removal.
Callers such as `receive-pack` which want to invoke `index-pack`
should use this new --keep option to prevent the newly created pack
and index file pair from being deleted before they have finished any
related ref updates. Only after all ref updates have been finished
should the associated .keep file be removed.

"new file" and "deleted file" were already reported in the
original code, but the logic was not as transparent as it could
have. This uses a few variables and more comments to clarify
the flow. The rule is: (1) if a path exists in the merge result
when no parent had it, we report "new" (otherwise it came from
the parents, as opposed to have added by the evil merge). (2) if
the path does not exist in the merge result, it is "deleted".
Since we can say "new" and "deleted", there is no reason not to
follow the /dev/null convention. This fixes it.

This makes pickaxe more intelligent than the classic blame.
A typical example is a change that moves one static C function
from lower part of the file to upper part of the same file,
because you added a new caller in the middle.
The versions in the parent and the child would look like this:
parent child
A static foo() {
B ...
C }
D A
E B
F C
G D
static foo() { ... call foo();
... E
} F
H G
H
With the classic blame algorithm, we can blame lines A B C D E F
G and H to the parent. The child is guilty of introducing the
line "... call foo();", and the blame is placed on the child.
However, the classic blame algorithm fails to notice that the
implementation of foo() at the top of the file is not new, and
moved from the lower part of the parent.
This commit introduces detection of such line movements, and
correctly blames the lines that were simply moved in the file to
the parent.

content movement (aka cut-and-paste) more easily by allowing
more than one paths to be taken from the same commit.

* rs/rebase:
git-rebase: Add a -v option to show a diffstat of the changes upstream at the start of a rebase.
git-rebase: Use --ignore-if-in-upstream option when executing git-format-patch.
When configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` is set
for the repository, the command passes `--delta-base-offset`
option to `git-pack-objects`; this typically results in slightly
smaller packs, but the generated packs are incompatible with
versions of git older than (and including) v1.4.3.
We will make it default to true sometime in the future, but not
for a while.

This patch does 3 things:
1) Output the number of commits along with the name for each author
(nice to know for long lists spending more than a screen worth of
commit lines).
2) Provide a switch (-n) to sort authors according to their number of
commits instead of author alphabetic order.
3) Provide a switch (-s) to supress commit lines and only keep a
summary of authors and the number of commits for each of them.
And for good measure a short usage is displayed with -h.

It used to mean "create log file for any ref that is updated",
but now it creates new log files only for branch heads.
The old behaviour made this configuration less useful than
otherwise it would be; automatically creating log file for tags
is almost always not useful.

This lets you say:
git grep --all-match -e A -e B -e C
to find lines that match A or B or C but limit the matches from
the files that have all of A, B and C.
This is different from
git grep -e A --and -e B --and -e C
in that the latter looks for a single line that has all of these
at the same time.

Before deleting it, the command checks if the given <oldvalue>

Added --ignore-nodate to allow 'git svn fetch' to import revisions
from Subversion which have '(no date)' listed as the date of the
revision. By default 'git svn fetch' will crash with an error
when encountering such a revision. The user may restart the fetch
operation by adding --ignore-nodate if they want to continue tracking
that repository.
I'm not entirely sure why a centralized version control system such
as Subversion permits revisions to be created with absolutely no
date/time associated with it but it apparently is possible as one
of the Subversion repositories that I'm tracking with 'git svn'
created such a revision on '(no date)' and by '(no user)'.
