This version +specifies the rules for operating on the on-disk repository data. An +implementation of git which does not understand a particular version +advertised by an on-disk repository MUST NOT operate on that repository; +doing so risks not only producing wrong results, but actually losing +data. + +Because of this rule, version bumps should be kept to an absolute +minimum. Instead, we generally prefer these strategies: + + - bumping format version numbers of individual data files (e.g., + index, packfiles, etc). This restricts the incompatibilities only to + those files. + + - introducing new data that gracefully degrades when used by older + clients (e.g., pack bitmap files are ignored by older clients, which + simply do not take advantage of the optimization they provide). + +A whole-repository format version bump should only be part of a change +that cannot be independently versioned. For instance, if one were to +change the reachability rules for objects, or the rules for locking +refs, that would require a bump of the repository format version. + +Note that this applies only to accessing the repository's disk contents +directly. An older client which understands only format `0` may still +connect via `git://` to a repository using format `1`, as long as the +server process understands format `1`. + +The preferred strategy for rolling out a version bump (whether whole +repository or for a single file) is to teach git to read the new format, +and allow writing the new format with a config switch or command line +option (for experimentation or for those who do not care about backwards +compatibility with older gits). Then after a long period to allow the +reading capability to become common, we may switch to writing the new +format by default. + +The currently defined format versions are: + +Version `0` +----------- + +This is the format defined by the initial version of git, including but +not limited to the format of the repository directory, the repository +configuration file, and the object and ref storage. Specifying the +complete behavior of git is beyond the scope of this document. + +Version `1` +----------- + +This format is identical to version `0`, with the following exceptions: + + 1. When reading the `core.repositoryformatversion` variable, a git + implementation which supports version 1 MUST also read any + configuration keys found in the `extensions` section of the + configuration file. + + 2. If a version-1 repository specifies any `extensions.*` keys that + the running git has not implemented, the operation MUST NOT + proceed. Similarly, if the value of any known key is not understood + by the implementation, the operation MUST NOT proceed. + +Note that if no extensions are specified in the config file, then +`core.repositoryformatversion` SHOULD be set to `0` (setting it to `1` +provides no benefit, and makes the repository incompatible with older +implementations of git). + +This document will serve as the master list for extensions.
