Some users might want to see diff (patch) output always rather than diffstat when [s]he runs 'git stash show'.

2015-08-17notes: teach git-notes about notes.<name>.mergeStrategy optionLibravatar Jacob Keller1-0/+6
Teach notes about a new "notes.<name>.mergeStrategy" option for configuring the notes merge strategy when merging into refs/notes/<name>. This option allows for the selection of merge strategy for particular notes refs, rather than all notes ref merges, as user may not want cat_sort_uniq for all refs, but only some. Note that the <name> is the local reference we are merging into, not the remote ref we merged from. The assumption is that users will mostly want to configure separate local ref merge strategies rather than strategies depending on which remote ref they merge from. notes.<name>.mergeStrategy overrides the general behavior as it is more specific.

2015-08-07refs: support negative transfer.hideRefsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs config, there is no way to later override that config to "unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if another match would hide it. We take care to apply the matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins" config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for example, will override /etc/gitconfig). So you can now do: $ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret $ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret' to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit in one specific repo. Or you can even do: $ git clone \ -u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \ remote:repo.git to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has configured. There are two alternatives that were considered and rejected: 1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo"). This is nice because it could apply to other multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as flexible. There is no way to say: [transfer] hideRefs = refs/secret hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret Having explicit negative specifications means we can override previous entries, even if they are not the same literal string. 2. Adding another variable to override some parts of hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs"). This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it cannot easily obey the normal config precedence, because it would use two separate lists. For example: [transfer] hideRefs = refs/secret exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that does not match what the above config intends. Of course we could internally parse that to a single list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name communicates to the user that the ordering _is_ important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").

2015-07-28docs/config.txt: reorder hideRefs configLibravatar Jeff King1-17/+15
The descriptions for receive.hideRefs and uploadpack.hideRefs are largely the same, and then transfer.hideRefs refers to both of them. Instead, let's make transfer.hideRefs the "master" source, and refer to it from the other sites (with appropriate program-specific annotations). This avoids duplication, and will make it easier to document changes to the config option without having to copy and paste the description in two places.

2015-06-30git rebase -i: warn about removed commitsLibravatar Galan Rémi1-0/+11
Check if commits were removed (i.e. a line was deleted) and print warnings or stop git rebase depending on the value of the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck. This patch gives the user the possibility to avoid silent loss of information (losing a commit through deleting the line in this case) if he wants. Add the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck. - When unset or set to "ignore", no checking is done. - When set to "warn", the commits are checked, warnings are displayed but git rebase still proceeds. - When set to "error", the commits are checked, warnings are displayed and the rebase is stopped. (The user can then use 'git rebase --edit-todo' and 'git rebase --continue', or 'git rebase --abort') rebase.missingCommitsCheck defaults to "ignore".

Identical to support in `git receive-pack for the config option `receive.fsck.skiplist`, we now support ignoring given objects in `git fsck` via `fsck.skiplist` altogether.

2015-06-23fsck: git receive-pack: support excluding objects from fsck'ingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
The optional new config option `receive.fsck.skipList` specifies the path to a file listing the names, i.e. SHA-1s, one per line, of objects that are to be ignored by `git receive-pack` when `receive.fsckObjects = true`. This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them (e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object). The intended use case is for server administrators to inspect objects that are reported by `git push` as being too problematic to enter the repository, and to add the objects' SHA-1 to a (preferably sorted) file when the objects are legitimate, i.e. when it is determined that those problematic objects should be allowed to enter the server.

2015-06-23fsck: support demoting errors to warningsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+11
We already have support in `git receive-pack` to deal with some legacy repositories which have non-fatal issues. Let's make `git fsck` itself useful with such repositories, too, by allowing users to ignore known issues, or at least demote those issues to mere warnings. Example: `git -c fsck.missingEmail=ignore fsck` would hide problems with missing emails in author, committer and tagger lines. In the same spirit that `git receive-pack`'s usage of the fsck machinery differs from `git fsck`'s – some of the non-fatal warnings in `git fsck` are fatal with `git receive-pack` when receive.fsckObjects = true, for example – we strictly separate the fsck.<msg-id> from the receive.fsck.<msg-id> settings.

2015-05-22upload-pack: optionally allow fetching reachable sha1Libravatar Fredrik Medley1-0/+6
With uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant configuration option set on the server side, "git fetch" can make a request with a "want" line that names an object that has not been advertised (likely to have been obtained out of band or from a submodule pointer). Only objects reachable from the branch tips, i.e. the union of advertised branches and branches hidden by transfer.hideRefs, will be processed. Note that there is an associated cost of having to walk back the history to check the reachability. This feature can be used when obtaining the content of a certain commit, for which the sha1 is known, without the need of cloning the whole repository, especially if a shallow fetch is used. Useful cases are e.g. repositories containing large files in the history, fetching only the needed data for a submodule checkout, when sharing a sha1 without telling which exact branch it belongs to and in Gerrit, if you think in terms of commits instead of change numbers. (The Gerrit case has already been solved through allowTipSHA1InWant as every Gerrit change has a ref.)
