2018-10-09transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsPrefixesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+7
The recently-introduced "core.alternateRefsCommand" allows callers to specify with high flexibility the tips that they wish to advertise from alternates. This flexibility comes at the cost of some inconvenience when the caller only wishes to limit the advertisement to one or more prefixes. For example, to advertise only tags, a caller using 'core.alternateRefsCommand' would have to do: $ git config core.alternateRefsCommand ' \ f() { git -C "$1" for-each-ref \ refs/tags --format="%(objectname)" }; f "$@"' The above is cumbersome to write, so let's introduce a "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" to address this common case. Instead, the caller can run: $ git config core.alternateRefsPrefixes 'refs/tags' Which will behave identically to the longer example using "core.alternateRefsCommand". Since the value of "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" is appended to 'git for-each-ref' and then executed, include a "--" before taking the configured value to avoid misinterpreting arguments as flags to 'git for-each-ref'. In the case that the caller wishes to specify multiple prefixes, they may separate them by whitespace. If "core.alternateRefsCommand" is set, it will take precedence over "core.alternateRefsPrefixes".

2018-10-09transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsCommandLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+11
When in a repository containing one or more alternates, Git would sometimes like to list references from those alternates. For example, 'git receive-pack' lists the "tips" pointed to by references in those alternates as special ".have" references. Listing ".have" references is designed to make pushing changes from upstream to a fork a lightweight operation, by advertising to the pusher that the fork already has the objects (via its alternate). Thus, the client can avoid sending them. However, when the alternate (upstream, in the previous example) has a pathologically large number of references, the initial advertisement is too expensive. In fact, it can dominate any such optimization where the pusher avoids sending certain objects. Introduce "core.alternateRefsCommand" in order to provide a facility to limit or filter alternate references. This can be used, for example, to filter out references the alternate does not wish to send (for space concerns, or otherwise) during the initial advertisement. Let the repository that has alternates configure this command to avoid trusting the alternate to provide us a safe command to run in the shell. To find the alternate, pass its absolute path as the first argument. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-13range-diff: use dim/bold cues to improve dual color modeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+4
It *is* a confusing thing to look at a diff of diffs. All too easy is it to mix up whether the -/+ markers refer to the "inner" or the "outer" diff, i.e. whether a `+` indicates that a line was added by either the old or the new diff (or both), or whether the new diff does something different than the old diff. To make things easier to process for normal developers, we introduced the dual color mode which colors the lines according to the commit diff, i.e. lines that are added by a commit (whether old, new, or both) are colored in green. In non-dual color mode, the lines would be colored according to the outer diff: if the old commit added a line, it would be colored red (because that line addition is only present in the first commit range that was specified on the command-line, i.e. the "old" commit, but not in the second commit range, i.e. the "new" commit). However, this dual color mode is still not making things clear enough, as we are looking at two levels of diffs, and we still only pick a color according to *one* of them (the outer diff marker is colored differently, of course, but in particular with deep indentation, it is easy to lose track of that outer diff marker's background color). Therefore, let's add another dimension to the mix. Still use green/red/normal according to the commit diffs, but now also dim the lines that were only in the old commit, and use bold face for the lines that are only in the new commit. That way, it is much easier not to lose track of, say, when we are looking at a line that was added in the previous iteration of a patch series but the new iteration adds a slightly different version: the obsolete change will be dimmed, the current version of the patch will be bold. At least this developer has a much easier time reading the range-diffs that way. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-08sideband: highlight keywords in remote sideband outputLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys1-0/+12
The colorization is controlled with the config setting "color.remote". Supported keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success". They are highlighted if they appear at the start of the line, which is common in error messages, eg. ERROR: commit is missing Change-Id The Git push process itself prints lots of non-actionable messages (eg. bandwidth statistics, object counters for different phases of the process). This obscures actionable error messages that servers may send back. Highlighting keywords in the sideband draws more attention to those messages. The background for this change is that Gerrit does server-side processing to create or update code reviews, and actionable error messages (eg. missing Change-Id) must be communicated back to the user during the push. User research has shown that new users have trouble seeing these messages. The highlighting is done on the client rather than server side, so servers don't have to grow capabilities to understand terminal escape codes and terminal state. It also consistent with the current state where Git is control of the local display (eg. prefixing messages with "remote: "). The highlighting can be configured using color.remote.<KEYWORD> configuration settings. Since the keys are matched case insensitively, we match the keywords case insensitively too. Finally, this solution is backwards compatible: many servers already prefix their messages with "error", and they will benefit from this change without requiring a server update. By contrast, a server-side solution would likely require plumbing the TERM variable through the git protocol, so it would require changes to both server and client.

2018-07-18add core.usereplacerefs config optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
We can already disable replace refs using a command line option or environment variable, but those are awkward to apply universally. Let's add a config option to do the same thing. That raises the question of why one might want to do so universally. The answer is that replace refs violate the immutability of objects. For instance, if you wanted to cache the diff between commit XYZ and its parent, then in theory that never changes; the hash XYZ represents the total state. But replace refs violate that; pushing up a new ref may create a completely new diff. The obvious "if it hurts, don't do it" answer is not to create replace refs if you're doing this kind of caching. But for a site hosting arbitrary repositories, they may want to allow users to share replace refs with each other, but not actually respect them on the site (because the caching is more important than the replace feature).

2018-07-16negotiator/skipping: skip commits during fetchLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+9
Introduce a new negotiation algorithm used during fetch that skips commits in an effort to find common ancestors faster. The skips grow similarly to the Fibonacci sequence as the commit walk proceeds further away from the tips. The skips may cause unnecessary commits to be included in the packfile, but the negotiation step typically ends more quickly. Usage of this algorithm is guarded behind the configuration flag fetch.negotiationAlgorithm. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-06-28Documentation: declare "core.ignoreCase" as internal variableLibravatar Marc Strapetz1-3/+6
The current description of "core.ignoreCase" reads like an option which is intended to be changed by the user while it's actually expected to be set by Git on initialization only. Subsequently, Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable, as noted by Bryan Turner [1]: Git on a case-insensitive filesystem (APFS, HFS+, FAT32, exFAT, vFAT, NTFS, etc.) is not designed to be run with anything other than core.ignoreCase=true.

2018-06-28upload-pack: implement ref-in-wantLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+7
Currently, while performing packfile negotiation, clients are only allowed to specify their desired objects using object ids. This causes a vulnerability to failure when an object turns non-existent during negotiation, which may happen if, for example, the desired repository is provided by multiple Git servers in a load-balancing arrangement and there exists replication delay. In order to eliminate this vulnerability, implement the ref-in-want feature for the 'fetch' command in protocol version 2. This feature enables the 'fetch' command to support requests in the form of ref names through a new "want-ref <ref>" parameter. At the conclusion of negotiation, the server will send a list of all of the wanted references (as provided by "want-ref" lines) in addition to the generated packfile.

2018-06-27gc: automatically write commit-graph filesLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-3/+6
The commit-graph file is a very helpful feature for speeding up git operations. In order to make it more useful, make it possible to write the commit-graph file during standard garbage collection operations. Add a 'gc.commitGraph' config setting that triggers writing a commit-graph file after any non-trivial 'git gc' command. Defaults to false while the commit-graph feature matures. We specifically do not want to have this on by default until the commit-graph feature is fully integrated with history-modifying features like shallow clones.

2018-06-25Merge branch 'nd/complete-config-vars'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
Continuing with the idea to programatically enumerate various pieces of data required for command line completion, teach the codebase to report the list of configuration variables subcommands care about to help complete them. * nd/complete-config-vars: completion: complete general config vars in two steps log-tree: allow to customize 'grafted' color completion: support case-insensitive config vars completion: keep other config var completion in camelCase completion: drop the hard coded list of config vars am: move advice.amWorkDir parsing back to advice.c advice: keep config name in camelCase in advice_config[] fsck: produce camelCase config key names help: add --config to list all available config fsck: factor out msg_id_info[] lazy initialization code grep: keep all colors in an array Add and use generic name->id mapping code for color slot parsing
