From the FILES section of the git-config(1) manual:
$GIT_DIR/config::
Repository specific configuration file. (The filename is
of course relative to the repository root, not the working
directory.)
That's confusing because $GIT_DIR really is relative to the working
directory.
$ GIT_DIR=.git GIT_EDITOR='pwd; echo editing'
$ export GIT_DIR GIT_EDITOR
$ git config --edit --local
/home/jrn/src/git/Documentation
editing .git/config
It turns out that the comment is a remnant from older days when the
heading said ".git/config" (which is indeed relative to the top of the
worktree).
It was only when the heading was changed to refer more precisely to
<git dir>/config (see v1.5.3.2~18, AsciiDoc tweak to avoid leading
dot, 2007-09-14) that the parenthesis stopped making sense. Remove
it.

Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much
concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all,
we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a
check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up
in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK
for them to end up in things like reflogs).
When future commits add more quality checks on the identity,
each of these callers would want to use those checks, too.
Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag,
let's refactor the flag.

Before commit 43ae9f4, we generated the tail of a message id
by calling git_committer_info and parsing the email out of
the result. 43ae9f4 changed to use ident_default_email
directly, so we didn't have to bother with parsing. As a
side effect, it meant we no longer used GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
at all.
In general, this is probably reasonable behavior. Either the
default email is sane on your system, or you are using
user.email to provide something sane. The exception is if
you rely on GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL being set all the time to
override the bogus generated email.
This is unlikely to match anybody's real-life setup, but we
do use it in the test environment. And furthermore, it's
what we have always done, and the change in 43ae9f4 was
about cleaning up, not fixing any bug; we should be
conservative and keep the behavior identical.

Most callers want to see all of "$name <$email> $date", but
a few want only limited parts, omitting the date, or even
the name. We already have IDENT_NO_DATE to handle the date
part, but there's not a good option for getting just the
email. Callers have to done one of:
1. Call ident_default_email; this does not respect
environment variables, nor does it promise to trim
whitespace or other crud from the result.
2. Call git_{committer,author}_info; this returns the name
and email, leaving the caller to parse out the wanted
bits.
This patch adds IDENT_NO_NAME; it stops short of adding
IDENT_NO_EMAIL, as no callers want it (nor are likely to),
and it complicates the error handling of the function.
When no name is requested, the angle brackets (<>) around
the email address are also omitted.

As a short-hand, we extract this flag into the local
variable "name_addr_only". It's more accurate to simply
negate this and refer to it as "want_date", which will be
less confusing when we add more NO_* flags.
While we're touching this part of the code, let's move the
call to ident_default_date() only when we are actually going
to use it, not when we have NO_DATE set, or when we get a

The old code allowed many references to be efficiently added to a
single directory, because it just appended the references to the
containing directory unsorted without doing any searching (and
therefore without requiring any intermediate sorting). But the old
code was inefficient when a large number of subdirectories were added
to a directory, because the directory always had to be searched to see
if the new subdirectory already existed, and this search required the
directory to be sorted first. The same was repeated for every new
subdirectory, so the time scaled like O(N^2), where N is the number of
subdirectories within a single directory.
In practice, references are often added to the ref_cache in
lexicographic order, for example when reading the packed-refs file.
So build some intelligence into add_entry_to_dir() to optimize for the
case of references and/or subdirectories being added in lexicographic
order: if the existing entries were already sorted, and the new entry
comes after the last existing entry, then adjust ref_dir::sorted to
reflect the fact that the ref_dir is still sorted.
Thanks to Peff for pointing out the performance regression that
inspired this change.

unpack_raw_entry() will not allocate and return decompressed blobs if
they are larger than core.bigFileThreshold. sha1_object() may not be
called on those objects because there's no actual content.
sha1_object() is called later on those objects, where we can safely
use get_data_from_pack() to retrieve blob content for checking.
However we always do that when we definitely need the blob
content. And we often don't.
There are two cases when we may need object content. The first case is
when we find an in-repo blob with the same SHA-1. We need to do
collision test, byte-on-byte. If this test is on, the blob must be
loaded on memory (i.e. no streaming). Normally (e.g. in
fetch/pull/clone) this does not happen because git avoid to send
objects that client already has.
The other case is when --strict is specified and the object in
question is not a blob, which can't happen in reality becase we deal
with large _blobs_ here.
Note: --verify (or git-verify-pack) a pack from current repository
will trigger collision test on every object in the pack, which
effectively disables this patch. This could be easily worked around by
setting GIT_DIR to an imaginary place with no packs.

bash-completion 1.90 shipped with support to load completions
dynamically[1], which means the git completion script wouldn't be loaded
until the user types 'git <tab>'--this creates a problem to people using
__git_ps1(); that function won't be available when the shell is first
created.
For now distributions have workarounded this issue by moving the git
completion to the "compatdir"[2]; this of course is not ideal.
The solution, proposed by Kerrick Staley[3], is to split the git script
in two; the part that deals with __git_ps1() in one (i.e.
git-prompt.sh), and everything else in another (i.e.
git-completion.bash).
Another benefit of this is that zsh user that are not interested in the
bash completion can use it for their prompts, which has been tried
before[4].
The only slight issue is that __gitdir() would be duplicated, but this
is probably not a big deal.
So let's go ahead and move __git_ps1() to a new file.
While at this, I took the liberty to reformat the help text in the new
file.

The search_ref_dir() function is about looking up an existing ref_entry in
a sorted array of ref_entry stored in dir->entries, but it still allocates
a new ref_entry and frees it before returning. This is only because the
call to bsearch(3) was coded in a suboptimal way. Unlike the comparison
function given to qsort(3), the first parameter to its comparison function
does not need to point at an object that is shaped like an element in the
array.
Introduce a new comparison function that takes a counted string as the key
and an element in an array of ref_entry and give it to bsearch(), so that
we do not have to allocate a new ref_entry that we will never return to
the caller anyway.

If a commit object has a header line at the end of the
buffer that is missing its newline (or if it appears so
because the content on the header line contains a stray
NUL), then git will segfault.
Interestingly, this case is explicitly handled and we do
correctly scan the final line for the header we are looking
for. But if we don't find it, we will dereference NULL while
trying to look at the next line.
Git will never generate such a commit, but it's good to be
defensive. We could die() in such a case, but since it's
easy enough to handle it gracefully, let's just issue a
warning and continue (so you could still view such a commit
with "git show", though you might be missing headers after
the NUL).

When we parse the name and email from a commit to
pretty-print them, we usually can just put the result
directly into our strbuf result. However, if we are going to
use the mailmap, then we must first copy them into a
NUL-terminated buffer to feed to the mailmap machinery.
We did so by using strlcpy into a static buffer, but we used
it wrong. We fed it the length of the substring we wanted to
copy, but never checked that that length was less than the
size of the destination buffer.
The simplest fix is to just use snprintf to copy the
substring properly while still respecting the destination
buffer's size. It might seem like replacing the static
buffer with a strbuf would help, but we need to feed a
static buffer to the mailmap machinery anyway, so there's
not much benefit to handling arbitrary sizes.
A more ideal solution would be for mailmap to grow an
interface that:
1. Takes a pointer and length combination, instead of
assuming a NUL-terminated string.
2. Returns a pointer to the mailmap's allocated string,
rather than copying it into the buffer.
Then we could avoid the need for an extra buffer entirely.
However, doing this would involve a lot of refactoring of
mailmap and of string_list (which mailmap uses to store the
map itself). For now, let's do the simplest thing to fix the
bug.
