5eef828bc0 fast-import: Stream very large blobs directly to pack
If a blob is larger than the configured big-file-threshold, instead
of reading it into a single buffer obtained from malloc, stream it
onto the end of the current pack file.  Streaming the larger objects
into the pack avoids the 4+ GiB memory footprint that occurs when
fast-import is processing 2+ GiB blobs.

13be3e31f1 Reword "detached HEAD" notification
The old "advice" message explained how to create a branch after going into
a detached HEAD state but didn't make it clear why the user may want to do
so.  Also "moving to ... which isn't a local branch" was unclear if it is
complaining, if it is describing the new state, or if it is explaining why
the HEAD is detached (the true reason is the last one).

Give the established phrase 'detached HEAD' first to make it easy for
users to look up the concept in documentation, and briefly describe what
can be done in the state (i.e. play around without having to clean up)
before telling the user how to keep what was done during the temporary
state.

Allow the long description to be hidden by setting advice.detachedHead
configuration to false.

We might want to customize the advice depending on how the commit to check
out was spelled (e.g. instead of "new-branch-name", we way want to say
"topic" when "git checkout origin/topic" triggered this message) in later
updates, but this encapsulates that into a separate function and it should
be a good first step.

b706fcfe93 commit: allow suppression of implicit identity advice
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity
was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos
information, in case it is not correct. Most users will
suppress this by simply setting up their information
correctly.

However, there may be some users who consciously want to use
that information, because having the value change from host
to host contains useful information. These users can now set
advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message.

d38a30df7d Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.

A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

Versions before v1.5.1.2 cannot clone repos with packed refs over
http, and versions before v1.4.4 cannot handled packed refs at
all, but more recent git should have no problems.  Try to make
this more clear in the git-config manual.

The analagous passage in git-gc.txt was updated already with
commit fe2128a (Change git-gc documentation to reflect

525ecd26c6 Remove http.authAny
Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was
originally written, it needed an extra HTTP request for everything when
the feature was in effect, because we didn't reuse curl sessions.

However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme,
not only basic, 2009-11-27) builds on top of an updated codebase that does
reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead
by making this configurable anymore.

b8ac923010 Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic
This adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with
the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl
to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which
sends the password in plaintext).

When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time,
in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which
lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default.

One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which
doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response
mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires
at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier
versions of curl.

c578f51d52 Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

b4479f0747 add -i, send-email, svn, p4, etc: use "git var GIT_EDITOR"
Use the new "git var GIT_EDITOR" feature to decide what editor to
use, instead of duplicating its logic elsewhere.  This should make
the behavior of commands in edge cases (e.g., editor names with
spaces) a little more consistent.

de1a2fdd38 Smart push over HTTP: client side
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts.  This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.

For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image).  The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.

For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

a97a74686d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS
- Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return

This configuration option allows systematically rewriting fetch-only URLs
to push-capable URLs when used with push.  For instance:

[url "ssh://example.org/"]
    pushInsteadOf = "git://example.org/"

This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently
push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.

Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and
test cases (both that pushInsteadOf applies to push, that it does not
apply to fetch, and that it is ignored when pushURL is already defined).

aeb84b05ae core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}
People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.

This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof.  This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

77b15bbd88 apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.

The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes.  The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors.  It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.

Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix.  Or you could call it a new feature.  The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.

Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have.  People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

5749b0b2f9 don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository.  However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt.  So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

be66a6c43d Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

This prepares 'git-difftool' and its documentation for
mainstream use.

'git-difftool-helper' became 'git-difftool--helper'
since users should not use it directly.

'git-difftool' was added to the list of commands as
an ancillaryinterrogator.

521537476f New config push.default to decide default behavior for push
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching
branches to the current remote.  For some workflows this default is not
useful, and surprises new users.  Some have even found that this default
behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences.

Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what
action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the
command line arguments or the current remote configuration.

Possible values are:

  'nothing'  : Push nothing;
  'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already
               exist in the current remote;
  'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking;
  'current'  : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name,
               i.e. HEAD.

dcb11263bc Documentation: remove extra quoting/emphasis around literal texts
If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from
normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need
extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments.

config.txt

  Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide
  emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough.

  Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present
  in the described config value, so drop them.

git-checkout.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line
  argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve
  curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to
  indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of
  certain shells (tcsh).

git-merge.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge
  conflict markers. The quotes should are not important.

git-rev-parse.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line
  arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary.

gitcli.txt

  Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line
  examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong
  inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it.

glossary-content.txt

  Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.

a94982ef39 grep: add support for coloring with external greps
Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to
switch on coloring of external greps.  To enable auto coloring with
GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to
defeat the pager started by git grep.  The value of the config
variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would
colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected
works.  The default is to not pass any option, because the external
grep command could be a program without color support.

Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to
pass the configured color for matches to the external grep.  This
works with GNU grep; other variables could be added as needed.

30984ed2e9 format-patch: support deep threading
For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured
like

  + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
   `-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
      `-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
         `-+ ...

we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default).  On
the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives
shallow mode, i.e.,

  + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
  |-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
  |-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
  ...

To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named
features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch
take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output
as 'send-mail --thread'.  With no argument, or 'shallow', behave as
before.  Also add a configuration variable format.thread with the same
semantics.

879ef2485d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

986e82396a receive-pack: detect push to current branch of non-bare repo
Pushing into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare
repository can be dangerous; the HEAD then loses sync with
the index and working tree, and it looks in the receiving
repo as if the pushed changes have been reverted in the
index (since they were never there in the first place).

This patch adds a safety valve that checks for this
condition and either generates a warning or denies the
update. We trigger the check only on a non-bare repository,
since a bare repo does not have a working tree (and in fact,
pushing to the HEAD branch is a common workflow for
publishing repositories).

The behavior is configurable via receive.denyCurrentBranch,
defaulting to "warn" so as not to break existing setups
(though it may, after a deprecation period, switch to
"refuse" by default). For users who know what they are doing
and want to silence the warning (e.g., because they have a
post-receive hook that reconciles the HEAD and working
tree), they can turn off the warning by setting it to false
or "ignore".

a567fdcb01 format-patch: autonumber by default
format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when
sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on
the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.

In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.

Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch.  Users that want to
change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

Window's implementation of stat / lstat, and Cygwin/git users who have
configured core.filemode true in various repositories will be very

some *nix things that Git does not actually need. This patch adds Win32
specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin.

This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases
it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary
for two reasons:

- Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is
  not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be
  used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it
  causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we
  always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths.

- Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using
  one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls
  back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links.

The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for
common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name
does not exist.

Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible,
it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one
situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository
together.  Therefore, the core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks configuration option is
provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.

a5a818ee48 diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared
With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/".  Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.

    "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
    "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
    "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).

Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

6aeeffd144 Allow git-cvsserver database table name prefix to be specified.
Adds a gitcvs.dbtablenameprefix config variable, the contents of which
are prepended to any database tables names used by git-cvsserver. The
same substutions as gitcvs.dbname and gitcvs.dbuser are supported, and
any non-alphabetic characters are replaced with underscores.

A typo found in contrib/completion/git-completion.bash is also fixed.

970639740c gc --auto: raise default auto pack limit from 20 to 50
Recent discussion on the list, with the improvement f7c22cc (always start
looking up objects in the last used pack first, 2007-05-30) brought in,
reached the concensus that the current default 20 is too low.
