Introduce commit.gpgsign configuration variable to force every
commit to be GPG signed. The variable cannot be overriden from the
command line of some of the commands that create commits except for
"git commit" and "git commit-tree", but I am not convinced that it
is a good idea to sprinkle support for --no-gpg-sign everywhere,
which in turn means that this configuration variable may not be
such a good idea.

`gc --auto` takes time and can block the user temporarily (but not any
less annoyingly). Make it run in background on systems that support
it. The only thing lost with running in background is printouts. But
gc output is not really interesting. You can keep it in foreground by
changing gc.autodetach.

Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden,

Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.
* jn/pager-lv-default-env:
pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
|
|
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
$ git diff
^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.
In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.
As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.
The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.
But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.
This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.
Here are perf results for p5310:
Test origin/master HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.2: repack to disk 36.81(37.82+1.43) 47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6% 47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7%
5310.3: simulated clone 30.78(29.70+2.14) 1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5% 1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5%

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing
it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together
with the `.idx` index that currently gets written.
If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling
`pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having
`pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is
writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to
stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the
packfile.
Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been
successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is
performed in several steps:
1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial
checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be
written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity
2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of
`struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out
the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps
(one for each object type).
These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of
the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be
1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit.
This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has
access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array,
and hence the real type for each object in the packfile.
3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap
index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call
will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be
reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored
in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will
prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly
to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to
fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a
repository that already has bitmaps.
4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for
a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated
during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array.
We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits.
Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository
would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick
the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps.
The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's
original implementation. We select a higher density of commits
depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always
selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap
increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure
that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips
that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and
when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the
commit with the most parents.
Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit
selection; different selection algorithms will result in
different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as
"missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in
`prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by
performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal
selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are
more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g.
the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them
is always available.
5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part
of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were
selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental
walks to generate the bitmap for each commit.
The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up
incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B,
C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk
of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps.
A---a---B--b--C--c--D
\
E--e--F
We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a
revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable
until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the
bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we
reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already
been SEEN on the previous walk.
This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to
generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk
nor the bitmap we have generated so far.
What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the
bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the
origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed.
Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored
for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed
so far, allowing us to limit the walk early.
After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration
through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR
offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of
the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with
its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the
time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and
then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when
loaded.
This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using
bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics
have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before
any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good
results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of
the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile.
6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is
serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated
in the two previous steps.
The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to
its final destination, using the same process as
`pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

The basic 8 steps to update .git/shallow does not fully apply here
because the user may choose to accept just a few refs (while fetch
always accepts all refs). The steps are modified a bit.
1-6. same as before. After calling assign_shallow_commits_to_refs at
step 6, each shallow commit has a bitmap that marks all refs that
require it.
7. mark all "ours" shallow commits that are reachable from any
refs. We will need to do the original step 7 on them later.
8. go over all shallow commit bitmaps, mark refs that require new
shallow commits.
9. setup a strict temporary shallow file to plug all the holes, even
if it may cut some of our history short. This file is used by all
hooks. The hooks could use --shallow-file=$GIT_DIR/shallow to
overcome this and reach everything in current repo.
10. go over the new refs one by one. For each ref, do the reachability
test if it needs a shallow commit on the list from step 7. Remove
it if it's reachable from our refs. Gather all required shallow
commits, run check_everything_connected() with the new ref, then
install them to .git/shallow.
This mode is disabled by default and can be turned on with
receive.shallowupdate

The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being
fetched. In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only
to be fetched, but also to be pruned. This is inappropriate because
there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local
repository and all remotes. Therefore, if the user defines a local
tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is
deleted. Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via
fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it
even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in
tag lossage.
Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the
same problem.
The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the
setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent
with that of the other commands.
So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags. To fix this
problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on
refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line
or via remote.<name>.fetch. Thus, tags are no longer made subject to
pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.
However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as
part of a refspec, and that is good. For example:
* On the command line,
git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is
therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old
behavior of "--prune --tag".
* For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the
configuration is set to include
[remote "name"]
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
, which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other
references. This is the behavior that will typically be desired for
a mirror.

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
the connection hung.

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.

Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.
Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.
Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.
This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.
Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.
Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

The text mentions core.pager and GIT_PAGER without giving the
overall picture of precedences. Borrow a better description from
the git-var(1) documentation.
The use of the mechanism to allow system-wide, global and
per-repository configuration files is not limited to this particular
variable. Remove it to clarify the paragraph.
Rewrite the part that explains how the environment variable LESS is
set to Git's default value, and how to selectively customize it.

Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good
enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the
working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some
time ago, and it started biting us in places. This removes it and
uses the standard lstat() that comes with Cygwin.
Recent topic that uses lstat on packed-refs file is broken when
this cheating lstat is used, and this is a simplest fix that is
also the cleanest direction to go in the long run.

HTTP servers may send Set-Cookie headers in a response and expect them
to be set on subsequent requests. By default, libcurl behavior is to
store such cookies in memory and reuse them across requests within a
single session. However, it may also make sense, depending on the
server and the cookies, to store them across sessions. Provide users
an option to enable this behavior, writing cookies out to the same
file specified in http.cookiefile.

Newer Net::SMTP::SSL module does not want the user programs to use
the default behaviour to let server certificate go without
verification, so by default enable the verification with a
mechanism to turn it off if needed.

Add "interactive" mode to "git clean".
The early part to refactor relative path related helper functions
looked sensible.
* jx/clean-interactive:
test: run testcases with POSIX absolute paths on Windows
test: add t7301 for git-clean--interactive
git-clean: add documentation for interactive git-clean
git-clean: add ask each interactive action
git-clean: add select by numbers interactive action
git-clean: add filter by pattern interactive action
git-clean: use a git-add-interactive compatible UI
git-clean: add colors to interactive git-clean
git-clean: show items of del_list in columns
git-clean: add support for -i/--interactive
git-clean: refactor git-clean into two phases
write_name{_quoted_relative,}(): remove redundant parameters
quote_path_relative(): remove redundant parameter
quote.c: substitute path_relative with relative_path
path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefix
test: add test cases for relative_path

When initiating an SSL connection without explicitly specifying the
SSL certificate verification mode, Net::SMTP::SSL defaults to no
verification, but recent versions of the module gives a warning
against this use of the default.
Enable certificate verification by default, using /etc/ssl/certs as
the default path for certificates of certificate authorities. This
path can be overriden by the --smtp-ssl-cert-path command line
option and the sendemail.smtpSSLCertPath configuration variable.
Passing an empty string as the path for CA certificates path disables
the SSL certificate verification explicitly, which does not trigger
the warning from recent versions of Net::SMTP::SSL.

Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever. Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".
To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":
- "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.
- "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.
The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.
Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.
Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.
In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

"git status" learned status.branch and status.short configuration
variables to use --branch and --short options by default (override
with --no-branch and --no-short options from the command line).
* jg/status-config:
status/commit: make sure --porcelain is not affected by user-facing config
commit: make it work with status.short
status: introduce status.branch to enable --branch by default
status: introduce status.short to enable --short by default

Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from. This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.
The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.
. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.
. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
will be the safe default in Git 2.0.
In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
the central repository).
In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid
surprises in some way.

t/t5528-push-default: test pushdefault workflows
