"git send-email" learned to overcome some SMTP server limitation
that does not allow many pieces of e-mails to be sent over a single
session.
* xz/send-email-batch-size:
send-email: --batch-size to work around some SMTP server limit
|
|
Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be
sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when
sending many messages.
Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages
(configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few
seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and
reconnect, to work around such a limit.
Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default.
Note:
We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we
should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server;
Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic
servers.

Using "git add d/i/r" when d/i/r is the top of the working tree of

It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another
repository, like:
git clone $url
git add .
The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching
.gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone
with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to
v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely.
In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly
ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do
anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually
adding the submodule config.
In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real
submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in
their .gitignore file.
Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few
things to note:
- the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody
wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is
welcome to create whatever funny states they want.
- we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink;
updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable,
and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules
entirely
- there's a command-line option to suppress the warning.
This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the
entry before adding any submodule config), but also
provides a mechanism for other scripts doing
submodule-like things.
We could make this a hard error instead of a warning.
However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's
not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users
may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with
a gentle hint is probably the best option.
There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But
I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning
entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is
generally about context, not about the user's preferences.
If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without
matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the
new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the
warning.

If a URL rewrite switches the protocol to something
nonstandard (like "persistent-https" for "https"), the user
may be bitten by the fact that the default protocol
restrictions are different between the two. Let's drop a
note in insteadOf that points the user in the right
direction.
It would be nice if we could make this work out of the box,
but we can't without knowing the security implications of
the user's rewrite. Only the documentation for a particular
remote helper can advise one way or the other. Since we do
include the persistent-https helper in contrib/ (and since
it was the helper in the real-world case that inspired that
patch), let's also drop a note there.

The recently introduced "[includeIf "gitdir:$dir"] path=..."
mechansim has further been taught to take symlinks into account.
The directory "$dir" specified in "gitdir:$dir" may be a symlink to
a real location, not something that $(getcwd) may return. In such
a case, a realpath of "$dir" is compared with the real path of the
current repository to determine if the contents from the named path
should be included.

Change the conditional inclusion mechanism to support
e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo where ~/git_tree is a symlink to
/mnt/stuff/repo.
This worked in the initial version of this facility[1], but regressed
later in the series while solving a related bug[2].
Now gitdir: will match against the symlinked
path (e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo) in addition to the current
/mnt/stuff/repo path.
Since this is already in a release version note in the documentation
that this behavior changed, so users who expect their configuration to
work on both v2.13.0 and some future version of git with this fix
aren't utterly confused.

Most of the include examples use "foo.inc", but some use
"foo". Since the string of examples are meant to show
variations and how they differ, it's a good idea to change
only one thing at a time. The filename differences are not

Using the word "expand" to refer to including the contents
of another config file isn't really accurate, since it's a
verbatim insertion. And it can cause confusion with the

In commit c714e45 ("receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving
push options", 2016-07-14), receive-pack was taught to (among other
things) advertise that it understood push options, depending on
configuration. It was documented that it advertised such ability by
default; however, it actually does not. (In that commit, notice that
advertise_push_options defaults to 0, unlike advertise_atomic_push which
defaults to 1.)
Update the documentation to state that it does not advertise the ability
by default.

Change the documentation for push.tracking=* to re-include a mention
of what "tracking" does.
The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in
53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16),
this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc:
rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of
"tracking".
Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the
config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd
forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation
mentioned that.
That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should
document what it does. This patch does the latter.

Currently the submodule.<name>.url config option is used to determine if
a given submodule is of interest to the user. This ends up being
cumbersome in a world where we want to have different submodules checked
out in different worktrees or a more generalized mechanism to select
which submodules are of interest.
In a future with worktree support for submodules, there will be multiple
working trees, each of which may only need a subset of the submodules
checked out. The URL (which is where the submodule repository can be
obtained) should not differ between different working trees.
It may also be convenient for users to more easily specify groups of
submodules they are interested in as opposed to running "git submodule
init <path>" on each submodule they want checked out in their working
tree.
To this end two config options are introduced, submodule.active and
submodule.<name>.active. The submodule.active config holds a pathspec
that specifies which submodules should exist in the working tree. The
submodule.<name>.active config is a boolean flag used to indicate if
that particular submodule should exist in the working tree.
Its important to note that submodule.active functions differently than
the other configuration options since it takes a pathspec. This allows
users to adopt at least two new workflows:
1. Submodules can be grouped with a leading directory, such that a
pathspec e.g. 'lib/' would cover all library-ish modules to allow
those who are interested in library-ish modules to set
"submodule.active = lib/" just once to say any and all modules in
'lib/' are interesting.
2. Once the pathspec-attribute feature is invented, users can label
submodules with attributes to group them, so that a broad pathspec
with attribute requirements, e.g. ':(attr:lib)', can be used to say
any and all modules with the 'lib' attribute are interesting.
Since the .gitattributes file, just like the .gitmodules file, is
tracked by the superproject, when a submodule moves in the
superproject tree, the project can adjust which path gets the
attribute in .gitattributes, just like it can adjust which path has
the submodule in .gitmodules.
Neither of these two additional configuration options solve the problem
of wanting different submodules checked out in different worktrees
because multiple worktrees share .git/config. Only once per-worktree
configurations become a reality can this be solved, but this is a
necessary preparatory step for that future.
Given these multiple ways to check if a submodule is of interest, the
more fine-grained submodule.<name>.active option has the highest order
of precedence followed by the pathspec check against submodule.active.
To ensure backwards compatibility, if neither of these options are set,
git falls back to checking the submodule.<name>.url option to determine
if a submodule is interesting.

Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings
among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories.
A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple
repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another
for the other.
Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to
update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning
often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in
~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would
not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more
problems than it solves.
Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include
another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some
conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A
only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on.
In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in
absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or
something like that to take advantage of it.
We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes
with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is
required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as
include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will
simply ignore them.
