"git gc" in a large repository takes a lot of time as it considers to repack all objects into one pack by default.

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.

2018-04-26pull: accept --rebase=merges to recreate the branch topologyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
Similar to the `preserve` mode simply passing the `--preserve-merges` option to the `rebase` command, the `merges` mode simply passes the `--rebase-merges` option.

2018-04-24builtin/blame: highlight recently changed linesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+17
Choose a different color for dates and imitate a 'temperature cool down' depending upon age. 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.

2018-04-16convert: 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.

2018-03-29upload-pack: disable object filtering when disabled by configLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12, 2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it. That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the 'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway, the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false. This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being vulnerable. Simplify and limit the attack surface by making uploadpack.allowFilter disable the feature, not just the advertisement of it.

2018-02-09fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags configLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+14
Add a --prune-tags option to git-fetch, along with fetch.pruneTags config option and a -P shorthand (-p is --prune). This allows for doing any of: git fetch -p -P git fetch --prune --prune-tags git fetch -p -P origin git fetch --prune --prune-tags origin Or simply: git config fetch.prune true && git config fetch.pruneTags true && git fetch Instead of the much more verbose: git fetch --prune origin 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*' Before this feature it was painful to support the use-case of pulling from a repo which is having both its branches *and* tags deleted regularly, and have our local references to reflect upstream. At work we create deployment tags in the repo for each rollout, and there's *lots* of those, so they're archived within weeks for performance reasons. Without this change it's hard to centrally configure such repos in /etc/gitconfig (on servers that are only used for working with them). You need to set fetch.prune=true globally, and then for each repo: git -C {} config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" "^\+*refs/tags/\*:refs/tags/\*$" Now I can simply set fetch.pruneTags=true in /etc/gitconfig as well, and users running "git pull" will automatically get the pruning semantics I want. Even though "git remote" has corresponding "prune" and "update --prune" subcommands I'm intentionally not adding a corresponding prune-tags or "update --prune --prune-tags" mode to that command. It's advertised (as noted in my recent "git remote doc: correct dangerous lies about what prune does") as only modifying remote tracking references, whereas any --prune-tags option is always going to modify what from the user's perspective is a local copy of the tag, since there's no such thing as a remote tracking tag. Ideally add_prune_tags_to_fetch_refspec() would be something that would use ALLOC_GROW() to grow the 'fetch` member of the 'remote' struct. Instead I'm realloc-ing remote->fetch and adding the tag_refspec to the end. The reason is that parse_{fetch,push}_refspec which allocate the refspec (ultimately remote->fetch) struct are called many places that don't have access to a 'remote' struct. It would be hard to change all their callsites to be amenable to carry around the bookkeeping variables required for dynamic allocation. All the other callers of the API first incrementally construct the string version of the refspec in remote->fetch_refspec via add_fetch_refspec(), before finally calling parse_fetch_refspec() via some variation of remote_get(). It's less of a pain to deal with the one special case that needs to modify already constructed refspecs than to chase down and change all the other callsites. The API I'm adding is intentionally not generalized because if we add more of these we'd probably want to re-visit how this is done.

2017-12-07launch_editor(): indicate that Git waits for user inputLibravatar Lars Schneider1-0/+3
When a graphical GIT_EDITOR is spawned by a Git command that opens and waits for user input (e.g. "git rebase -i"), then the editor window might be obscured by other windows. The user might be left staring at the original Git terminal window without even realizing that s/he needs to interact with another window before Git can proceed. To this user Git appears hanging. Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal supports erasing the last line. Also, make sure that our message is terminated with a whitespace so that any message the editor may show upon starting up will be kept separate from our message. Power users might not want to see this message or their editor might already print such a message (e.g. emacsclient). Allow these users to suppress the message by disabling the "advice.waitingForEditor" config. The standard advise() function is not used here as it would always add a newline which would make deleting the message harder.

2017-12-06add worktree.guessRemote config optionLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+10
Some users might want to have the --guess-remote option introduced in the previous commit on by default, so they don't have to type it out every time they create a new worktree. Add a config option worktree.guessRemote that allows users to configure the default behaviour for themselves.

2017-12-06Merge branch 'jn/ssh-wrappers'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+16
The ssh-variant 'simple' introduced earlier broke existing installations by not passing --port/-4/-6 and not diagnosing an attempt to pass these as an error. Instead, default to automatically detect how compatible the GIT_SSH/GIT_SSH_COMMAND is to OpenSSH convention and then error out an invocation to make it easier to diagnose connection errors. * jn/ssh-wrappers: connect: correct style of C-style comment ssh: 'simple' variant does not support --port ssh: 'simple' variant does not support -4/-6 ssh: 'auto' variant to select between 'ssh' and 'simple' connect: split ssh option computation to its own function connect: split ssh command line options into separate function connect: split git:// setup into a separate function connect: move no_fork fallback to git_tcp_connect ssh test: make copy_ssh_wrapper_as clean up after itself
2017-12-06Merge branch 'bw/protocol-v1'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+40
A new mechanism to upgrade the wire protocol in place is proposed and demonstrated that it works with the older versions of Git without harming them. * bw/protocol-v1: Documentation: document Extra Parameters ssh: introduce a 'simple' ssh variant i5700: add interop test for protocol transition http: tell server that the client understands v1 connect: tell server that the client understands v1 connect: teach client to recognize v1 server response upload-pack, receive-pack: introduce protocol version 1 daemon: recognize hidden request arguments protocol: introduce protocol extension mechanisms pkt-line: add packet_write function connect: in ref advertisement, shallows are last
2017-12-04Documentation: move rebase.* configs to new fileLibravatar Liam Beguin1-30/+1
Move all rebase.* configuration variables to a separate file in order to remove duplicates, and include it in config.txt and git-rebase.txt. The new descriptions are mostly taken from config.txt as they are more verbose. Signed-off-by: Liam Beguin <liambeguin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Teach "sendemail.tocmd" to places that know about "sendemail.to", like documentation and shell completion (in contrib/). * rv/sendemail-tocmd-in-config-and-completion: completion: add git config sendemail.tocmd Documentation/config: add sendemail.tocmd to list preceding "See git-send-email(1)"
2017-11-21Merge branch 'bp/fsmonitor'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
We learned to talk to watchman to speed up "git status" and other operations that need to see which paths have been modified. * bp/fsmonitor: fsmonitor: preserve utf8 filenames in fsmonitor-watchman log fsmonitor: read entirety of watchman output fsmonitor: MINGW support for watchman integration fsmonitor: add a performance test fsmonitor: add a sample integration script for Watchman fsmonitor: add test cases for fsmonitor extension split-index: disable the fsmonitor extension when running the split index test fsmonitor: add a test tool to dump the index extension update-index: add fsmonitor support to update-index ls-files: Add support in ls-files to display the fsmonitor valid bit fsmonitor: add documentation for the fsmonitor extension. fsmonitor: teach git to optionally utilize a file system monitor to speed up detecting new or changed files. update-index: add a new --force-write-index option preload-index: add override to enable testing preload-index bswap: add 64 bit endianness helper get_be64
