There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default.
They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than
the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case
that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send
a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing
progress and resetting the keepalive timer.
We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a
reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of
5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer
our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive
packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider

When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet
period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects
and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the
client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect,
pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is
ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even
minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed).
Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this
situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung.
This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no
data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send
an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are
still working on it.

When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".
This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.
Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).
Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.
Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a
number outside of the representable range, we die with the
cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".
We can improve two things:
1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').
2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
"invalid unit" versus "out of range").
A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our
stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.

When we are parsing an integer or unsigned long, we use
the strto*max functions, which properly set errno to ERANGE
if we get a large value. However, we also do further range
checks after applying our multiplication factor, but do not
set ERANGE. This means that a caller cannot tell if an error
was caused by ERANGE or if the input was simply not a valid
number.
This patch teaches git_parse_signed and git_parse_unsigned to set
ERANGE for range errors, and EINVAL for other errors, so that the
caller can reliably tell these cases apart.

When we look at a config value as an integer using the
git_config_int function, we carefully range-check the value
we get and complain if it is out of our range. But the range
we compare to is that of a "long", which we then cast to an
"int" in the function's return value. This means that on
systems where "int" and "long" have different sizes (e.g.,
LP64 systems), we may pass the range check, but then return
nonsense by truncating the value as we cast it to an int.
We can solve this by converting git_parse_long into
git_parse_int, and range-checking the "int" range. Nobody
actually cared that we used a "long" internally, since the
result was truncated anyway. And the only other caller of
git_parse_long is git_config_maybe_bool, which should be
fine to just use int (though we will now forbid out-of-range
nonsense like setting "merge.ff" to "10g" to mean "true",
which is probably a good thing).

When we are parsing integers for config, we use an intmax_t
(or uintmax_t) internally, and then check against the size
of our result type at the end. We can parameterize the
maximum representable value, which will let us re-use the
parsing code for a variety of range checks.
Unfortunately, we cannot combine the signed and unsigned
parsing functions easily, as we have to rely on the signed

When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and
their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings
branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching
refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end
up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration.
It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that
upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is
typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous
patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream
relationship from being formed. Furthermore:
- We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its
branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs
that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*.
- The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote
repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo.
Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the
testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative
effect on the rest of the test suite.
This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in
41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

In 41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*), we changed the rules for what is considered a valid tracking
branch (a.k.a. upstream branch). We now use the configured remotes and their
refspecs to determine whether a proposed tracking branch is in fact within
the domain of a remote, and we then use that information to deduce the
upstream configuration (branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge).
However, with that change, we also check that - in addition to a matching
refspec - the result of mapping the tracking branch through that refspec
(i.e. the corresponding ref name in the remote repo) happens to start with
"refs/heads/". In other words, we require that a tracking branch refers to
a _branch_ in the remote repo.
Now, consider that you are e.g. setting up an automated building/testing
infrastructure for a group of similar "source" repositories. The build/test
infrastructure consists of a central scheduler, and a number of build/test
"slave" machines that perform the actual build/test work. The scheduler
monitors the group of similar repos for changes (e.g. with a periodic
"git fetch"), and triggers builds/tests to be run on one or more slaves.
Graphically the changes flow between the repos like this:
Source #1 -------v ----> Slave #1
/
Source #2 -----> Scheduler -----> Slave #2
\
Source #3 -------^ ----> Slave #3
... ...
The scheduler maintains a single Git repo with each of the source repos set
up as distinct remotes. The slaves also need access to all the changes from
all of the source repos, so they pull from the scheduler repo, but using the
following custom refspec:
remote.origin.fetch = "+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*"
This makes all of the scheduler's remote-tracking branches automatically
available as identical remote-tracking branches in each of the slaves.
Now, consider what happens if a slave tries to create a local branch with
one of the remote-tracking branches as upstream:
git branch local_branch --track refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
Git now looks at the configured remotes (in this case there is only "origin",
pointing to the scheduler's repo) and sees refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
matching origin's refspec. Mapping through that refspec we find that the
corresponding remote ref name is "refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch".
However, since this remote ref name does not start with "refs/heads/", we
discard it as a suitable upstream, and the whole command fails.
This patch adds a testcase demonstrating this failure by creating two
source repos ("a" and "b") that are forwarded through a scheduler ("c")
to a slave repo ("d"), that then tries create a local branch with an
upstream. See the next patch in this series for the exciting conclusion
to this story...

We're testing that trying to --track a ref that is not covered by any remote

refs/remotes/local/master (so that the tracking setup will fail, as intended).
However, when doing "git fetch local" to ensure the existence of
refs/remotes/local/master, we must not already have changed remote.local.fetch
so as to cause refs/remotes/local/master not to be fetched. Therefore, set
remote.local.fetch to refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/local/* BEFORE we fetch, and
then reset it to refs/heads/s:refs/remotes/local/s AFTER we have fetched
(but before we test --track).

* If the user is using OpenSSH and the ControlMaster setting is set
to auto, git-remote-bzr might hang. This is because bzrlib closes
the multiple ssh sessions in an undefined order and might try to
close the master ssh session before the other sessions. The

Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for

1.3.1 still exhibits the problem; a fix for the bug exists (see
https://code.google.com/p/serf/source/detail?r=2146).
Until the bug is fixed, work around the issue within the git perl
module Ra.pm by freeing the private copy of the remote access object
on termination, which seems to be sufficient to prevent the error
from happening.
Note: Since subversion-1.8.0 and later do require serf-1.2.1 or
later, this issue typically shows up when upgrading to a recent
version of subversion.
Credits go to Jonathan Lambrechts for proposing a fix to Ra.pm,
Evgeny Kotkov and Ivan Zhakov for fixing the issue in serf and
pointing me to that fix.
