These blobs +are taken from notes refs. A notes ref is usually a branch which +contains "files" whose paths are the object names for the objects +they describe, with some directory separators included for performance +reasons footnote:[Permitted pathnames have the form +'ab'`/`'cd'`/`'ef'`/`'...'`/`'abcdef...': a sequence of directory +names of two hexadecimal digits each followed by a filename with the +rest of the object ID.]. + +Every notes change creates a new commit at the specified notes ref. +You can therefore inspect the history of the notes by invoking, e.g., +`git log -p notes/commits`. Currently the commit message only records +which operation triggered the update, and the commit authorship is +determined according to the usual rules (see linkgit:git-commit[1]). +These details may change in the future. + +It is also permitted for a notes ref to point directly to a tree +object, in which case the history of the notes can be read with +`git log -p -g <refname>`. + + +NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES +---------------------- + +The default notes merge strategy is "manual", which checks out +conflicting notes in a special work tree for resolving notes conflicts +(`.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE`), and instructs the user to resolve the +conflicts in that work tree. +When done, the user can either finalize the merge with +'git notes merge --commit', or abort the merge with +'git notes merge --abort'. + +"ours" automatically resolves conflicting notes in favor of the local +version (i.e. the current notes ref). + +"theirs" automatically resolves notes conflicts in favor of the remote +version (i.e. the given notes ref being merged into the current notes +ref). + +"union" automatically resolves notes conflicts by concatenating the +local and remote versions. + +"cat_sort_uniq" is similar to "union", but in addition to concatenating +the local and remote versions, this strategy also sorts the resulting +lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent +to applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the local and +remote versions. This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based +format where one wants to avoid duplicated lines in the merge result. +Note that if either the local or remote version contain duplicate lines +prior to the merge, these will also be removed by this notes merge +strategy. + + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +You can use notes to add annotations with information that was not +available at the time a commit was written. + +------------ +$ git notes add -m 'Tested-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>' 72a144e2 +$ git show -s 72a144e +[...] + Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> + +Notes: + Tested-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> +------------ + +In principle, a note is a regular Git blob, and any kind of +(non-)format is accepted.

Various particular -helper programs will behave as documented here. +Remote helper programs are normally not used directly by end users, +but they are invoked by git when it needs to interact with remote +repositories git does not support natively. A given helper will +implement a subset of the capabilities documented here. When git +needs to interact with a repository using a remote helper, it spawns +the helper as an independent process, sends commands to the helper's +standard input, and expects results from the helper's standard +output. Because a remote helper runs as an independent process from +git, there is no need to re-link git to add a new helper, nor any +need to link the helper with the implementation of git. + +Every helper must support the "capabilities" command, which git will +use to determine what other commands the helper will accept. Other +commands generally concern facilities like discovering and updating +remote refs, transporting objects between the object database and +the remote repository, and updating the local object store. + +Helpers supporting the 'fetch' capability can discover refs from the +remote repository and transfer objects reachable from those refs to +the local object store. Helpers supporting the 'push' capability can +transfer local objects to the remote repository and update remote refs. + +Git comes with a "curl" family of remote helpers, that handle various +transport protocols, such as 'git-remote-http', 'git-remote-https', +'git-remote-ftp' and 'git-remote-ftps'. They implement the capabilities +'fetch', 'option', and 'push'. + +INVOCATION +---------- + +Remote helper programs are invoked with one or (optionally) two +arguments. The first argument specifies a remote repository as in git; +it is either the name of a configured remote or a URL. The second +argument specifies a URL; it is usually of the form +'<transport>://<address>', but any arbitrary string is possible. + +When git encounters a URL of the form '<transport>://<address>', where +'<transport>' is a protocol that it cannot handle natively, it +automatically invokes 'git remote-<transport>' with the full URL as +the second argument. If such a URL is encountered directly on the +command line, the first argument is the same as the second, and if it +is encountered in a configured remote, the first argument is the name +of that remote. + +A URL of the form '<transport>::<address>' explicitly instructs git to +invoke 'git remote-<transport>' with '<address>' as the second +argument. If such a URL is encountered directly on the command line, +the first argument is '<address>', and if it is encountered in a +configured remote, the first argument is the name of that remote. + +Additionally, when a configured remote has 'remote.<name>.vcs' set to +'<transport>', git explicitly invokes 'git remote-<transport>' with +'<name>' as the first argument. If set, the second argument is +'remote.<name>.url'; otherwise, the second argument is omitted.

If you - happen to have both heads/master and tags/master, you can - explicitly say 'heads/master' to tell git which one you mean. - When ambiguous, a `<name>` is disambiguated by taking the - first match in the following rules: - - . if `$GIT_DIR/<name>` exists, that is what you mean (this is usually - useful only for `HEAD`, `FETCH_HEAD`, `ORIG_HEAD` and `MERGE_HEAD`); - - . otherwise, `$GIT_DIR/refs/<name>` if exists; - - . otherwise, `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags/<name>` if exists; - - . otherwise, `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<name>` if exists; - - . otherwise, `$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/<name>` if exists; - - . otherwise, `$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD` if exists. -+ -HEAD names the commit your changes in the working tree is based on. -FETCH_HEAD records the branch you fetched from a remote repository -with your last 'git fetch' invocation. -ORIG_HEAD is created by commands that moves your HEAD in a drastic -way, to record the position of the HEAD before their operation, so that -you can change the tip of the branch back to the state before you ran -them easily. -MERGE_HEAD records the commit(s) you are merging into your branch -when you run 'git merge'. - -* A ref followed by the suffix '@' with a date specification - enclosed in a brace - pair (e.g. '\{yesterday\}', '\{1 month 2 weeks 3 days 1 hour 1 - second ago\}' or '\{1979-02-26 18:30:00\}') to specify the value - of the ref at a prior point in time. This suffix may only be - used immediately following a ref name and the ref must have an - existing log ($GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>). Note that this looks up the state - of your *local* ref at a given time; e.g., what was in your local - `master` branch last week. If you want to look at commits made during - certain times, see `--since` and `--until`. - -* A ref followed by the suffix '@' with an ordinal specification - enclosed in a brace pair (e.g. '\{1\}', '\{15\}') to specify - the n-th prior value of that ref. For example 'master@\{1\}' - is the immediate prior value of 'master' while 'master@\{5\}' - is the 5th prior value of 'master'. This suffix may only be used - immediately following a ref name and the ref must have an existing - log ($GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>). - -* You can use the '@' construct with an empty ref part to get at a - reflog of the current branch.

'{caret}<n>' means the <n>th parent (i.e. - 'rev{caret}' - is equivalent to 'rev{caret}1').

E.g. '{caret}r1 r2' means commits reachable +from 'r2' but exclude the ones reachable from 'r1'. + +This set operation appears so often that there is a shorthand +for it. When you have two commits 'r1' and 'r2' (named according +to the syntax explained in SPECIFYING REVISIONS above), you can ask +for commits that are reachable from r2 excluding those that are reachable +from r1 by '{caret}r1 r2' and it can be written as 'r1..r2'. + +A similar notation 'r1\...r2' is called symmetric difference +of 'r1' and 'r2' and is defined as +'r1 r2 --not $(git merge-base --all r1 r2)'. +It is the set of commits that are reachable from either one of +'r1' or 'r2' but not from both. + +Two other shorthands for naming a set that is formed by a commit +and its parent commits exist.
