The documentation for "color.pager" configuration variable has been
updated.
* jk/doc-color-pager:
doc: explain the use of color.pager
|
|
This option is almost never a good idea, as the resulting repository is
larger and slower (see the new explanations in the docs).
I outlined the potential problems. We could go further and make the
option harder to find (or at least, make the command-line option
descriptions a much more terse "you probably don't want this; see
pack.packsizeLimit for details"). But this seems like a minimal change
that may prevent people from thinking it's more useful than it is.

Another brown paper bag inconsistency fix for a new feature
introduced during this cycle.
* dl/stash-show-untracked-fixup:
stash show: use stash.showIncludeUntracked even when diff options given
|
|
If options pertaining to how the diff is displayed is provided to
`git stash show`, the command will ignore the stash.showIncludeUntracked
configuration variable, defaulting to not showing any untracked files.
This is unintuitive behaviour since the format of the diff output and
whether or not to display untracked files are orthogonal.
Use stash.showIncludeUntracked even when diff options are given. Of
course, this is still overridable via the command-line options.
Update the documentation to explicitly say which configuration variables
will be overridden when a diff options are given.

The current documentation for color.pager is technically correct, but
slightly misleading and doesn't really clarify the purpose of the
variable. As explained in the original thread which added it:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/E1G6zPH-00062L-Je@moooo.ath.cx/
the point is to deal with pagers that don't understand colors. And hence it
being set to "true" is necessary for colorizing output to the pager, but
not sufficient by itself (you must also have enabled one of the other
color options, though note that these are set to "auto" by default these
days).

While it already is possible to filter objects by some criteria in
git-rev-list(1), it is not yet possible to filter out only a specific
type of objects. This makes some filters less useful. The `blob:limit`
filter for example filters blobs such that only those which are smaller
than the given limit are returned. But it is unfit to ask only for these
smallish blobs, given that git-rev-list(1) will continue to print tags,
commits and trees.
Now that we have the infrastructure in place to also filter tags and
commits, we can improve this situation by implementing a new filter
which selects objects based on their type. Above query can thus
trivially be implemented with the following command:
$ git rev-list --objects --filter=object:type=blob \
--filter=blob:limit=200
Furthermore, this filter allows to optimize for certain other cases: if
for example only tags or commits have been selected, there is no need to
walk down trees.
The new filter is not yet supported in bitmaps. This is going to be
implemented in a subsequent commit.

Make parallel checkout configurable by introducing two new settings:
checkout.workers and checkout.thresholdForParallelism. The first defines
the number of workers (where one means sequential checkout), and the
second defines the minimum number of entries to attempt parallel
checkout.
To decide the default value for checkout.workers, the parallel version
was benchmarked during three operations in the linux repo, with cold
cache: cloning v5.8, checking out v5.8 from v2.6.15 (checkout I) and
checking out v5.8 from v5.7 (checkout II). The four tables below show
the mean run times and standard deviations for 5 runs in: a local file
system on SSD, a local file system on HDD, a Linux NFS server, and
Amazon EFS (all on Linux). Each parallel checkout test was executed with
the number of workers that brings the best overall results in that
environment.
Local SSD:
Sequential 10 workers Speedup
Clone 8.805 s ± 0.043 s 3.564 s ± 0.041 s 2.47 ± 0.03
Checkout I 9.678 s ± 0.057 s 4.486 s ± 0.050 s 2.16 ± 0.03
Checkout II 5.034 s ± 0.072 s 3.021 s ± 0.038 s 1.67 ± 0.03
Local HDD:
Sequential 10 workers Speedup
Clone 32.288 s ± 0.580 s 30.724 s ± 0.522 s 1.05 ± 0.03
Checkout I 54.172 s ± 7.119 s 54.429 s ± 6.738 s 1.00 ± 0.18
Checkout II 40.465 s ± 2.402 s 38.682 s ± 1.365 s 1.05 ± 0.07
Linux NFS server (v4.1, on EBS, single availability zone):
Sequential 32 workers Speedup
Clone 240.368 s ± 6.347 s 57.349 s ± 0.870 s 4.19 ± 0.13
Checkout I 242.862 s ± 2.215 s 58.700 s ± 0.904 s 4.14 ± 0.07
Checkout II 65.751 s ± 1.577 s 23.820 s ± 0.407 s 2.76 ± 0.08
EFS (v4.1, replicated over multiple availability zones):
Sequential 32 workers Speedup
Clone 922.321 s ± 2.274 s 210.453 s ± 3.412 s 4.38 ± 0.07
Checkout I 1011.300 s ± 7.346 s 297.828 s ± 0.964 s 3.40 ± 0.03
Checkout II 294.104 s ± 1.836 s 126.017 s ± 1.190 s 2.33 ± 0.03
The above benchmarks show that parallel checkout is most effective on
repositories located on an SSD or over a distributed file system. For
local file systems on spinning disks, and/or older machines, the
parallelism does not always bring a good performance. For this reason,
the default value for checkout.workers is one, a.k.a. sequential
checkout.
To decide the default value for checkout.thresholdForParallelism,
another benchmark was executed in the "Local SSD" setup, where parallel
checkout showed to be beneficial. This time, we compared the runtime of
a `git checkout -f`, with and without parallelism, after randomly
removing an increasing number of files from the Linux working tree. The
"sequential fallback" column below corresponds to the executions where
checkout.workers was 10 but checkout.thresholdForParallelism was equal
to the number of to-be-updated files plus one (so that we end up writing
sequentially). Each test case was sampled 15 times, and each sample had
a randomly different set of files removed. Here are the results:
sequential fallback 10 workers speedup
10 files 772.3 ms ± 12.6 ms 769.0 ms ± 13.6 ms 1.00 ± 0.02
20 files 780.5 ms ± 15.8 ms 775.2 ms ± 9.2 ms 1.01 ± 0.02
50 files 806.2 ms ± 13.8 ms 767.4 ms ± 8.5 ms 1.05 ± 0.02
100 files 833.7 ms ± 21.4 ms 750.5 ms ± 16.8 ms 1.11 ± 0.04
200 files 897.6 ms ± 30.9 ms 730.5 ms ± 14.7 ms 1.23 ± 0.05
500 files 1035.4 ms ± 48.0 ms 677.1 ms ± 22.3 ms 1.53 ± 0.09
1000 files 1244.6 ms ± 35.6 ms 654.0 ms ± 38.3 ms 1.90 ± 0.12
2000 files 1488.8 ms ± 53.4 ms 658.8 ms ± 23.8 ms 2.26 ± 0.12
From the above numbers, 100 files seems to be a reasonable default value
for the threshold setting.
Note: Up to 1000 files, we observe a drop in the execution time of the
parallel code with an increase in the number of files. This is a rather
odd behavior, but it was observed in multiple repetitions. Above 1000
files, the execution time increases according to the number of files, as
one would expect.
About the test environments: Local SSD tests were executed on an
i7-7700HQ (4 cores with hyper-threading) running Manjaro Linux. Local
HDD tests were executed on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3-1230 (also 4 cores
with hyper-threading), HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 SATA 3.1, running
Debian. NFS and EFS tests were executed on an Amazon EC2 c5n.xlarge
instance, with 4 vCPUs. The Linux NFS server was running on a m6g.large
instance with 2 vCPUSs and a 1 TB EBS GP2 volume. Before each timing,
the linux repository was removed (or checked out back to its previous
state), and `sync && sysctl vm.drop_caches=3` was executed.

When `uploadpackfilter.allow` is set to `true`, it means that filters
are enabled by default except in the case where a filter is explicitly
disabled via `uploadpackilter.<filter>.allow`. This option will not only
enable the currently supported set of filters, but also any filters
which get added in the future. As such, an admin which wants to have
tight control over which filters are allowed and which aren't probably
shouldn't ever set `uploadpackfilter.allow=true`.

admins are aware of this.

`git add` refrains from adding or updating index entries that are

`git add` already refrains from updating SKIP_WORKTREE entries, but it
silently exits with zero code when it is asked to do so. Instead, let's
warn the user and display a hint on how to update these entries.
Note that we only warn the user whey they give a pathspec item that
matches no eligible path for updating, but it does match one or more
SKIP_WORKTREE entries. A warning was chosen over erroring out right away
to reproduce the same behavior `add` already exhibits with ignored
files. This also allow users to continue their workflow without having
to invoke `add` again with only the eligible paths (as those will have
already been added).

"git clone --reject-shallow" option fails the clone as soon as we
notice that we are cloning from a shallow repository.
* ll/clone-reject-shallow:
builtin/clone.c: add --reject-shallow option
|
|
In some scenarios, users may want more history than the repository
offered for cloning, which happens to be a shallow repository, can
give them. But because users don't know it is a shallow repository
until they download it to local, we may want to refuse to clone
this kind of repository, without creating any unnecessary files.
The '--depth=x' option cannot be used as a solution; the source may
be deep enough to give us 'x' commits when cloned, but the user may
later need to deepen the history to arbitrary depth.
Teach '--reject-shallow' option to "git clone" to abort as soon as
we find out that we are cloning from a shallow repository.

When writing a new pack with a bitmap, it is sometimes convenient to
indicate some reference prefixes which should receive priority when
selecting which commits to receive bitmaps.
A truly motivated caller could accomplish this by setting
'pack.islandCore', (since all commits in the core island are similarly
marked as preferred) but this requires callers to opt into using delta
islands, which they may or may not want to do.
Introduce a new multi-valued configuration, 'pack.preferBitmapTips' to
allow callers to specify a list of reference prefixes. All references
which have a prefix contained in 'pack.preferBitmapTips' will mark their
tips as "preferred" in the same way as commits are marked as preferred
for selection by 'pack.islandCore'.
The choice of the verb "prefer" is intentional: marking the NEEDS_BITMAP
flag on an object does *not* guarantee that that object will receive a
bitmap. It merely guarantees that that commit will receive a bitmap over
any *other* commit in the same window by bitmap_writer_select_commits().
The test this patch adds reflects this quirk, too. It only tests that
a commit (which didn't receive bitmaps by default) is selected for
bitmaps after changing the value of 'pack.preferBitmapTips' to include
it. Other commits may lose their bitmaps as a byproduct of how the
selection process works (bitmap_writer_select_commits() ignores the
remainder of a window after seeing a commit with the NEEDS_BITMAP flag).
This configuration will aide in selecting important references for
multi-pack bitmaps, since they do not respect the same pack.islandCore
configuration. (They could, but doing so may be confusing, since it is
packs--not bitmaps--which are influenced by the delta-islands
configuration).
In a fork network repository (one which lists all forks of a given
repository as remotes), for example, it is useful to set
pack.preferBitmapTips to 'refs/remotes/<root>/heads' and
'refs/remotes/<root>/tags', where '<root>' is an opaque identifier
referring to the repository which is at the base of the fork chain.

Remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting and the now-obsolete

This was left in place after my d03ebd411c6 (rebase: remove the

It's been more than long enough for those users to get a headsup about
this. So remove all the scaffolding that was left inplace after
d03ebd411c6. I'm also removing the documentation entry, if anyone

Disable the recent mergetool's hideresolved feature by default for
backward compatibility and safety.
* jn/mergetool-hideresolved-is-optional:
doc: describe mergetool configuration in git-mergetool(1)
mergetool: do not enable hideResolved by default
|
|
When 98ea309b3f (mergetool: add hideResolved configuration,
2021-02-09) introduced the mergetool.hideResolved setting to reduce
the clutter in viewing non-conflicted sections of files in a
mergetool, it enabled it by default, explaining:
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`.
In practice, alas, adverse effects do appear. A few issues:
1. No indication is shown in the UI that the base, local, and remote
versions shown have been modified by additional resolution. This
is inherent in the design: the idea of mergetool.hideResolved is to
convince a mergetool that expects pristine local, base, and remote
files to show partially resolved verisons of those files instead;
there is no additional source of information accessible to the
mergetool to see where the resolution has happened.
(By contrast, a mergetool generating the partial resolution from
conflict markers for itself would be able to hilight the resolved
sections with a different color.)
A user accustomed to seeing the files without partial resolution
gets no indication that this behavior has changed when they upgrade
Git.
2. If the computed merge did not line up the files correctly (for
example due to repeated sections in the file), the partially
resolved files can be misleading and do not have enough information
to reconstruct what happened and compute the correct merge result.
3. Resolving a conflict can involve information beyond the textual
conflict. For example, if the local and remote versions added
overlapping functionality in different ways, seeing the full
unresolved versions of each alongside the base gives information
about each side's intent that makes it possible to come up with a
resolution that combines those two intents. By contrast, when
starting with partially resolved versions of those files, one can
produce a subtly wrong resolution that includes redundant extra
code added by one side that is not needed in the approach taken
on the other.
All that said, a user wanting to focus on textual conflicts with
reduced clutter can still benefit from mergetool.hideResolved=true as
a way to deemphasize sections of the code that resolve cleanly without
requiring any changes to the invoked mergetool. The caveats described
above are reduced when the user has explicitly turned this on, because
then the user is aware of them.
Flip the default to 'false'.

We have two established generation number versions:
1: topological levels
2: corrected commit dates
The corrected commit dates are enabled by default, but they also write
extra data in the GDAT and GDOV chunks. Services that host Git data
might want to have more control over when this feature rolls out than
just updating the Git binaries.
Add a new "commitGraph.generationVersion" config option that specifies
the intended generation number version. If this value is less than 2,
then the GDAT chunk is never written _or read_ from an existing file.
This can replace our use of the GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT

function it will be called when the mergetool is invoked and the return
value will be used as the default for the `hideResolved` flag.
hide_resolved_enabled () {
return 1
}
Disabling may be desirable if the mergetool wants or needs access to the
original, unmodified 'LOCAL' and 'REMOTE' versions of the conflicted
file. For example:
- A tool may use a custom conflict resolution algorithm and prefer to
ignore the results of Git's conflict resolution.
- A tool may want to visually compare/constrast the version of the file
from before the merge (saved to 'LOCAL', 'REMOTE', and 'BASE') with
Git's conflict resolution results (saved to 'MERGED').

The purpose of a mergetool is to help the user resolve any conflicts
that Git cannot automatically resolve. If there is a conflict that must
be resolved manually Git will write a file named MERGED which contains
everything Git was able to resolve by itself and also everything that it
was not able to resolve wrapped in conflict markers.
One way to think of MERGED is as a two- or three-way diff. If each
"side" of the conflict markers is separately extracted an external tool
can represent those conflicts as a side-by-side diff.
However many mergetools instead diff LOCAL and REMOTE both of which
contain versions of the file from before the merge. Since the conflicts
Git resolved automatically are not present it forces the user to
manually re-resolve those conflicts. Some mergetools also show MERGED
but often only for reference and not as the focal point to resolve the
conflicts.
This adds a `mergetool.hideResolved` flag that will overwrite LOCAL and
REMOTE with each corresponding "side" of a conflicted file and thus hide
all conflicts that Git was able to resolve itself. Overwriting these
files will immediately benefit any mergetool that uses them without
requiring any changes to the tool.
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`. However it can be globally disabled
by setting `mergetool.hideResolved` to `false`.

Teach Git to use the "unborn" feature introduced in a previous patch as
follows: Git will always send the "unborn" argument if it is supported
by the server. During "git clone", if cloning an empty repository, Git
will use the new information to determine the local branch to create. In
all other cases, Git will ignore it.

When cloning, we choose the default branch based on the remote HEAD.
But if there is no remote HEAD reported (which could happen if the
target of the remote HEAD is unborn), we'll fall back to using our local
init.defaultBranch. Traditionally this hasn't been a big deal, because
most repos used "master" as the default. But these days it is likely to
cause confusion if the server and client implementations choose
different values (e.g., if the remote started with "main", we may choose
"master" locally, create commits there, and then the user is surprised
when they push to "master" and not "main").
To solve this, the remote needs to communicate the target of the HEAD
symref, even if it is unborn, and "git clone" needs to use this
information.
Currently, symrefs that have unborn targets (such as in this case) are
not communicated by the protocol. Teach Git to advertise and support the
"unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (by default, this is advertised, but
server administrators may turn this off through the lsrefs.unborn
config). This feature indicates that "ls-refs" supports the "unborn"
argument; when it is specified, "ls-refs" will send the HEAD symref with
the name of its unborn target.
This change is only for protocol v2. A similar change for protocol v0
would require independent protocol design (there being no analogous
position to signal support for "unborn") and client-side plumbing of the
data required, so the scope of this patch set is limited to protocol v2.
The client side will be updated to use this in a subsequent commit.

Now that the pack.writeReverseIndex configuration is respected in both
'git index-pack' and 'git pack-objects' (and therefore, all of their
callers), we can safely advertise it for use in the git-config manual.

"git diff" showed a submodule working tree with untracked cruft as
"Submodule commit <objectname>-dirty", but a natural expectation is
that the "-dirty" indicator would align with "git describe --dirty",
which does not consider having untracked files in the working tree
as source of dirtiness. The inconsistency has been fixed.
