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.

2018-06-11checkout & worktree: introduce checkout.defaultRemoteLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+20
Introduce a checkout.defaultRemote setting which can be used to designate a remote to prefer (via checkout.defaultRemote=origin) when running e.g. "git checkout master" to mean origin/master, even though there's other remotes that have the "master" branch. I want this because it's very handy to use this workflow to checkout a repository and create a topic branch, then get back to a "master" as retrieved from upstream: ( cd /tmp && rm -rf tbdiff && git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git && cd tbdiff && git branch -m topic && git checkout master ) That will output: Branch 'master' set up to track remote branch 'master' from 'origin'. Switched to a new branch 'master' But as soon as a new remote is added (e.g. just to inspect something from someone else) the DWIMery goes away: ( cd /tmp && rm -rf tbdiff && git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git && cd tbdiff && git branch -m topic && git remote add avar git@github.com:avar/tbdiff.git && git fetch avar && git checkout master ) Will output (without the advice output added earlier in this series): error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git. The new checkout.defaultRemote config allows me to say that whenever that ambiguity comes up I'd like to prefer "origin", and it'll still work as though the only remote I had was "origin". Also adjust the advice.checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName message to mention this new config setting to the user, the full output on my git.git is now (the last paragraph is new): $ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git. hint: 'master' matched more than one remote tracking branch. hint: We found 26 remotes with a reference that matched. So we fell back hint: on trying to resolve the argument as a path, but failed there too! hint: hint: If you meant to check out a remote tracking branch on, e.g. 'origin', hint: you can do so by fully qualifying the name with the --track option: hint: hint: git checkout --track origin/<name> hint: hint: If you'd like to always have checkouts of an ambiguous <name> prefer hint: one remote, e.g. the 'origin' remote, consider setting hint: checkout.defaultRemote=origin in your config. I considered splitting this into checkout.defaultRemote and worktree.defaultRemote, but it's probably less confusing to break our own rules that anything shared between config should live in core.* than have two config settings, and I couldn't come up with a short name under core.* that made sense (core.defaultRemoteForCheckout?). See also 70c9ac2f19 ("DWIM "git checkout frotz" to "git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz"", 2009-10-18) which introduced this DWIM feature to begin with, and 4e85333197 ("worktree: make add <path> <branch> dwim", 2017-11-26) which added it to git-worktree.

2018-06-11checkout: add advice for ambiguous "checkout <branch>"Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+7
As the "checkout" documentation describes: If <branch> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in exactly one remote (call it <remote>) with a matching name, treat as equivalent to [...] <remote>/<branch. This is a really useful feature. The problem is that when you add another remote (e.g. a fork), git won't find a unique branch name anymore, and will instead print this unhelpful message: $ git checkout master error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git Now it will, on my git.git checkout, print: $ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git. hint: 'master' matched more than one remote tracking branch. hint: We found 26 remotes with a reference that matched. So we fell back hint: on trying to resolve the argument as a path, but failed there too! hint: hint: If you meant to check out a remote tracking branch on, e.g. 'origin', hint: you can do so by fully qualifying the name with the --track option: hint: hint: git checkout --track origin/<name> Note that the "error: pathspec[...]" message is still printed. This is because whatever else checkout may have tried earlier, its final fallback is to try to resolve the argument as a path. E.g. in this case: $ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master pu error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec 'pu' did not match any file(s) known to git. There we don't print the "hint:" implicitly due to earlier logic around the DWIM fallback. That fallback is only used if it looks like we have one argument that might be a branch. I can't think of an intrinsic reason for why we couldn't in some future change skip printing the "error: pathspec[...]" error. However, to do so we'd need to pass something down to checkout_paths() to make it suppress printing an error on its own, and for us to be confident that we're not silencing cases where those errors are meaningful. I don't think that's worth it since determining whether that's the case could easily change due to future changes in the checkout logic.

2018-05-13add status config and command line options for rename detectionLibravatar Ben Peart1-0/+12
After performing a merge that has conflicts git status will, by default, attempt to detect renames which causes many objects to be examined. In a virtualized repo, those objects do not exist locally so the rename logic triggers them to be fetched from the server. This results in the status call taking hours to complete on very large repos vs seconds with this patch. Add a new config status.renames setting to enable turning off rename detection during status and commit. This setting will default to the value of diff.renames. Add a new config status.renamelimit setting to to enable bounding the time spent finding out inexact renames during status and commit. This setting will default to the value of diff.renamelimit. Add --no-renames command line option to status that enables overriding the config setting from the command line. Add --find-renames[=<n>] command line option to status that enables detecting renames and optionally setting the similarity index.

Originally I had planned to have the temperature cool down dependent on the age of the project or file for example, as that might scale better, but that can be added on top of this commit, e.g. instead of giving a date, you could imagine giving a percentage that would be the linearly interpolated between now and the beginning of the file. Similarly to the previous patch, this offers the command line option '--color-by-age' to enable this mode and the config option 'color.blame.highlightrecent' to select colors. A later patch will offer a config option to select the default mode. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-04-24builtin/blame: dim uninteresting metadata linesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+5
When using git-blame lots of lines contain redundant information, for example in hunks that consist of multiple lines, the metadata (commit name, author, date) are repeated. A reader may not be interested in those, so offer an option to color the information that is repeated from the previous line differently. Traditionally, we use CYAN for lines that are less interesting than others (e.g. hunk header), so go with that. The command line option '--color-lines' will trigger the coloring of repeated lines, and the config option 'color.blame.colorLines' is provided to select the color. Setting the config option doesn't imply that repeated lines are colored. A later patch will introduce a config to enable this mode by default.

2018-04-16gc: handle a corner case in gc.bigPackThresholdLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+5
This config allows us to keep <N> packs back if their size is larger than a limit. But if this N >= gc.autoPackLimit, we may have a problem. We are supposed to reduce the number of packs after a threshold because it affects performance. We could tell the user that they have incompatible gc.bigPackThreshold and gc.autoPackLimit, but it's kinda hard when 'git gc --auto' runs in background. Instead let's fall back to the next best stategy: try to reduce the number of packs anyway, but keep the base pack out. This reduces the number of packs to two and hopefully won't take up too much resources to repack (the assumption still is the base pack takes most resources to handle).

2018-04-16gc: add gc.bigPackThreshold configLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+7
The --keep-largest-pack option is not very convenient to use because you need to tell gc to do this explicitly (and probably on just a few large repos). Add a config key that enables this mode when packs larger than a limit are found. Note that there's a slight behavior difference compared to --keep-largest-pack: all packs larger than the threshold are kept, not just the largest one.

2018-04-16pack-objects: shrink z_delta_size field in struct object_entryLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
We only cache deltas when it's smaller than a certain limit. This limit defaults to 1000 but save its compressed length in a 64-bit field. Shrink that field down to 20 bits, so you can only cache 1MB deltas. Larger deltas must be recomputed at when the pack is written down.

2018-04-16pack-objects: use bitfield for object_entry::depthLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
Because of struct packing from now on we can only handle max depth 4095 (or even lower when new booleans are added in this struct). This should be ok since long delta chain will cause significant slow down anyway. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-04-16convert: add round trip check based on 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'Libravatar Lars Schneider1-0/+6
UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings (e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1]. Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding' attribute. Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.
