2020-04-06doc: be more precise on (fetch|push).recurseSubmodulesLibravatar Damien Robert1-5/+8
The default value also depends on the value of submodule.recurse. Use this opportunity to correct some grammar mistakes in Documentation/config/fetch.txt signaled by Robert P. J. Day. Also mention `fetch.recurseSubmodules` in fetch-options.txt. In git-push.txt, `push.recurseSubmodules` is implicitly mentioned (by explaining how to disable it), so no need to add it there. Lastly add a link to `git-fetch` in `git-pull.txt` to explain the meaning of `--recurse-submodules` there.

2019-10-15Merge branch 'js/fetch-jobs'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+10
"git fetch --jobs=<n>" allowed <n> parallel jobs when fetching submodules, but this did not apply to "git fetch --multiple" that fetches from multiple remote repositories. It now does. * js/fetch-jobs: fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too
2019-10-06fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, tooLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+10
So far, `--jobs=<n>` only parallelizes submodule fetches/clones, not `--multiple` fetches, which is unintuitive, given that the option's name does not say anything about submodules in particular. Let's change that. With this patch, also fetches from multiple remotes are parallelized. For backwards-compatibility (and to prepare for a use case where submodule and multiple-remote fetches may need different parallelization limits), the config setting `submodule.fetchJobs` still only controls the submodule part of `git fetch`, while the newly-introduced setting `fetch.parallel` controls both (but can be overridden for submodules with `submodule.fetchJobs`).

2019-09-03fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config settingLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+10
The commit-graph feature is now on by default, and is being written during 'git gc' by default. Typically, Git only writes a commit-graph when a 'git gc --auto' command passes the gc.auto setting to actualy do work. This means that a commit-graph will typically fall behind the commits that are being used every day. To stay updated with the latest commits, add a step to 'git fetch' to write a commit-graph after fetching new objects. The fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting enables writing a split commit-graph, so on average the cost of writing this file is very small. Occasionally, the commit-graph chain will collapse to a single level, and this could be slow for very large repos. For additional use, adjust the default to be true when feature.experimental is enabled. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-08-13repo-settings: create feature.experimental settingLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+2
The 'feature.experimental' setting includes config options that are not committed to become defaults, but could use additional testing. Update the following config settings to take new defaults, and to use the repo_settings struct if not already using them: * 'pack.useSparse=true' * 'fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping' In the case of fetch.negotiationAlgorithm, the existing logic would load the config option only when about to use the setting, so had a die() statement on an unknown string value. This is removed as now the config is parsed under prepare_repo_settings(). In general, this die() is probably misplaced and not valuable. A test was removed that checked this die() statement executed. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-06-21fetch: add --[no-]show-forced-updates argumentLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+5
After updating a set of remove refs during a 'git fetch', we walk the commits in the new ref value and not in the old ref value to discover if the update was a forced update. This results in two things happening during the command: 1. The line including the ref update has an additional "(forced-update)" marker at the end. 2. The ref log for that remote branch includes a bit saying that update is a forced update. For many situations, this forced-update message happens infrequently, or is a small bit of information among many ref updates. Many users ignore these messages, but the calculation required here slows down their fetches significantly. Keep in mind that they do not have the opportunity to calculate a commit-graph file containing the newly-fetched commits, so these comparisons can be very slow. Add a '--[no-]show-forced-updates' option that allows a user to skip this calculation. The only permanent result is dropping the forced-update bit in the reflog. Include a new fetch.showForcedUpdates config setting that allows this behavior without including the argument in every command. The config setting is overridden by the command-line arguments.
