"git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the
machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing
"--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral
equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend
configuration variable can be set to customize.
* en/rebase-backend:
rebase: rename the two primary rebase backends
rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"
rebase: make the backend configurable via config setting
rebase tests: repeat some tests using the merge backend instead of am
rebase tests: mark tests specific to the am-backend with --am
rebase: drop '-i' from the reflog for interactive-based rebases
git-prompt: change the prompt for interactive-based rebases
rebase: add an --am option
rebase: move incompatibility checks between backend options a bit earlier

"git remote rename X Y" needs to adjust configuration variables
(e.g. branch.<name>.remote) whose value used to be X to Y.
branch.<name>.pushRemote is now also updated.

config: provide access to the current line number
remote rename/remove: handle branch.<name>.pushRemote config values
remote: clean-up config callback

pull --rebase/remote rename: document and honor single-letter abbreviations rebase types
|

The example for the push.pushOption config tries to create a
preformatted section, but uses only two dashes in its "--" line. In
AsciiDoc this is an "open block", with no type; the lines end up jumbled
because they're formatted as paragraphs. We need four or more dashes to
make it a "listing block" that will respect the linebreaks.

Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:
Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
* 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
given that we are making it the default.
* 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
* the directory where state is stored is not called
.git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.
Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
* Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
* Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
* Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
tries to explain to another what they are doing.
* While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
* The directory where state is stored has never been called
.git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.
For all the reasons listed above:
* Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
* Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
(e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
* Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
* Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
backend names for us as well.

rebase types
When 46af44b07d (pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations
for the type, 2018-08-04) landed in Git, it had the side effect that
not only 'pull --rebase=<type>' accepted the single-letter abbreviations
but also the 'pull.rebase' and 'branch.<name>.rebase' configurations.
However, 'git remote rename' did not honor these single-letter
abbreviations when reading the 'branch.*.rebase' configurations.
We now document the single-letter abbreviations and both code places
share a common function to parse the values of 'git pull --rebase=*',
'pull.rebase', and 'branches.*.rebase'.
The only functional change is the handling of the `branch_info::rebase`
value. Before it was an unsigned enum, thus the truth value could be
checked with `branch_info::rebase != 0`. But `enum rebase_type` is
signed, thus the truth value must now be checked with
`branch_info::rebase >= REBASE_TRUE`

The documentation for push.default mentions that it is used if no

since it's vague, and just mention that any refspec from anywhere is
sufficient to override this.
I've dropped the mention of "explicitly given" from the definition of
the "nothing" value right below, too. It's close enough to our

Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push
problems. Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software,
filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times,
they are due to simple unreliability of the network.
However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to
increase http.postBuffer. This works for none of the aforementioned
situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of
cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support
HTTP/1.1.
Document when raising this value is appropriate and what it actually
does, and discourage people from using it as a general solution for push
problems, since it is not effective there.

It's a frequent misconception that the user.name variable controls
authentication in some way, and as a result, beginning users frequently
attempt to change it when they're having authentication troubles.
Document that the convention is that this variable represents some form
of a human's personal name, although that is not required. In addition,
address concerns about whether Unicode is supported.
Use the term "personal name" as this is likely to draw the intended
contrast, be applicable across cultures which may have different naming
conventions, and be easily understandable to people who do not speak
English as their first language. Indicate that "some form" is
conventionally used, as people may use a nickname or preferred name
instead of a full legal name.
Point users who may be confused about authentication to an appropriate
configuration option instead. Provide a shortened form of this
information in the configuration option description.

While at one time it made perfect sense to store information about
configuring author and committer information in the documentation for
git commit-tree, in modern Git that operation is seldom used. Most
users will use git commit and expect to find comprehensive documentation
about its use in the manual page for that command.
Considering that there is significant confusion about how one is to use
the user.name and user.email variables, let's put as much documentation
as possible into an obvious place where users will be more likely to
find it.
In addition, expand the environment variables section to describe their
use more fully. Even though we now describe all of the options there
and in the configuration settings documentation, preserve the existing
text in git-commit.txt so that people can easily reason about the
ordering of the various options they can use. Explain the use of the
author.* and committer.* options as well.

In many languages, the adverb with the root "actual" means "at the
present time." However, this usage is considered dated or even archaic
in English, and for referring to events occurring at the present time,
we usually prefer "currently" or "presently". "Actually" is commonly
used in modern English only for the meaning of "in fact" or to express a
contrast with what is expected.
Since the documentation refers to the available options at the present
time (that is, at the time of writing) instead of drawing a contrast,
let's switch to "currently," which both is commonly used and sounds less
formal than "presently."

Previously, signature verification for merge and pull operations checked
if the key had a trust-level of either TRUST_NEVER or TRUST_UNDEFINED in
verify_merge_signature(). If that was the case, the process die()d.
The other code paths that did signature verification relied entirely on
the return code from check_commit_signature(). And signatures made with
a good key, irregardless of its trust level, was considered valid by
check_commit_signature().
This difference in behavior might induce users to erroneously assume
that the trust level of a key in their keyring is always considered by
Git, even for operations where it is not (e.g. during a verify-commit or
verify-tag).
The way it worked was by gpg-interface.c storing the result from the
key/signature status *and* the lowest-two trust levels in the `result`
member of the signature_check structure (the last of these status lines
that were encountered got written to `result`). These are documented in
GPG under the subsection `General status codes` and `Key related`,
respectively [1].
The GPG documentation says the following on the TRUST_ status codes [1]:
"""
These are several similar status codes:
- TRUST_UNDEFINED <error_token>
- TRUST_NEVER <error_token>
- TRUST_MARGINAL [0 [<validation_model>]]
- TRUST_FULLY [0 [<validation_model>]]
- TRUST_ULTIMATE [0 [<validation_model>]]
For good signatures one of these status lines are emitted to
indicate the validity of the key used to create the signature.
The error token values are currently only emitted by gpgsm.
"""
My interpretation is that the trust level is conceptionally different
from the validity of the key and/or signature. That seems to also have
been the assumption of the old code in check_signature() where a result
of 'G' (as in GOODSIG) and 'U' (as in TRUST_NEVER or TRUST_UNDEFINED)
were both considered a success.
The two cases where a result of 'U' had special meaning were in
verify_merge_signature() (where this caused git to die()) and in
format_commit_one() (where it affected the output of the %G? format
specifier).
I think it makes sense to refactor the processing of TRUST_ status lines
such that users can configure a minimum trust level that is enforced
globally, rather than have individual parts of git (e.g. merge) do it
themselves (except for a grace period with backward compatibility).
I also think it makes sense to not store the trust level in the same
struct member as the key/signature status. While the presence of a
TRUST_ status code does imply that the signature is good (see the first
paragraph in the included snippet above), as far as I can tell, the
order of the status lines from GPG isn't well-defined; thus it would
seem plausible that the trust level could be overwritten with the
key/signature status if they were stored in the same member of the
signature_check structure.
This patch introduces a new configuration option: gpg.minTrustLevel. It
consolidates trust-level verification to gpg-interface.c and adds a new
`trust_level` member to the signature_check structure.
Backward-compatibility is maintained by introducing a special case in
verify_merge_signature() such that if no user-configurable
gpg.minTrustLevel is set, then the old behavior of rejecting
TRUST_UNDEFINED and TRUST_NEVER is enforced. If, on the other hand,
gpg.minTrustLevel is set, then that value overrides the old behavior.
Similarly, the %G? format specifier will continue show 'U' for
signatures made with a key that has a trust level of TRUST_UNDEFINED or
TRUST_NEVER, even though the 'U' character no longer exist in the
`result` member of the signature_check structure. A new format
specifier, %GT, is also introduced for users that want to show all
possible trust levels for a signature.
Another approach would have been to simply drop the trust-level
requirement in verify_merge_signature(). This would also have made the
behavior consistent with other parts of git that perform signature
verification. However, requiring a minimum trust level for signing keys
does seem to have a real-world use-case. For example, the build system
used by the Qubes OS project currently parses the raw output from
verify-tag in order to assert a minimum trust level for keys used to
sign git tags [2].

The Git users at $DAYJOB have been using protocol v2 as a default for
~1.5 years now and others have been also reporting good experiences
with it, so it seems like a good time to bump the default version. It
produces a significant performance improvement when fetching from
repositories with many refs, such as
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.
This only affects the client, not the server. (The server already
defaults to supporting protocol v2.) The protocol change is backward
compatible, so this should produce no significant effect when
contacting servers that only speak protocol v0.

When recursively cloning a superproject with some shallow modules

git clone --recurse-submodules --branch=master -j8 \
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/superproject \
--reference master master2
fails with:
fatal: submodule '<snip>' cannot add alternate: reference repository
'<snip>' is shallow
When a alternate computed from the superproject's alternate cannot be
added, whether in this case or another, advise about configuring the
"submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" configuration option and using

Commit 31224cbdc7 ("clone: recursive and reference option triggers
submodule alternates", 2016-08-17) taught Git to support the
configuration options "submodule.alternateLocation" and
"submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" on a superproject.
If "submodule.alternateLocation" is configured to "superproject" on a
superproject, whenever a submodule of that superproject is cloned, it
instead computes the analogous alternate path for that submodule from
$GIT_DIR/objects/info/alternates of the superproject, and references it.
The "submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" option determines what happens
if that alternate cannot be referenced. However, it is not clear that
the clone proceeds as if no alternate was specified when that option is
not set to "die" (as can be seen in the tests in 31224cbdc7). Therefore,
document it accordingly.

The sparse-checkout feature can have quadratic performance as
the number of patterns and number of entries in the index grow.
If there are 1,000 patterns and 1,000,000 entries, this time can
be very significant.
Create a new Boolean config option, core.sparseCheckoutCone, to
indicate that we expect the sparse-checkout file to contain a
more limited set of patterns. This is a separate config setting
from core.sparseCheckout to avoid breaking older clients by
introducing a tri-state option.
The config option does nothing right now, but will be expanded

Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in
helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the
`run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in
`add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the
corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and
calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented
directly in libgit.a.
At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it
cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the
`run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it
is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the
PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git.
The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows
we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in
Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned
process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from
implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl
script.
The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the
test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the
conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass,
even at each of the incremental conversion steps).

command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
filled.
* dl/format-patch-cover-from-desc:
format-patch: teach --cover-from-description option
format-patch: use enum variables
format-patch: replace erroneous and condition

"git format-patch -o <outdir>" did an equivalent of "mkdir <outdir>"
not "mkdir -p <outdir>", which is being corrected.

Before, when format-patch generated a cover letter, only the body would
be populated with a branch's description while the subject would be
populated with placeholder text. However, users may want to have the
subject of their cover letter automatically populated in the same way.
Teach format-patch to accept the `--cover-from-description` option and
corresponding `format.coverFromDescription` config, allowing users to
populate different parts of the cover letter (including the subject
now).

The trace2 output, when sending them to files in a designated
directory, can populate the directory with too many files; a
mechanism is introduced to set the maximum number of files and
discard further logs when the maximum is reached.
* js/trace2-cap-max-output-files:
trace2: write discard message to sentinel files
trace2: discard new traces if target directory has too many files
docs: clarify trace2 version invariants
docs: mention trace2 target-dir mode in git-config

"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

'git format-patch -o <outdir>' did an equivalent of 'mkdir <outdir>'
not 'mkdir -p <outdir>', which is being corrected.
Avoid the usage of 'adjust_shared_perm' on the leading directories which
may have security implications. Achieved by temporarily disabling of
'config.sharedRepository' like 'git init' does.

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`).

trace2 can write files into a target directory. With heavy usage, this
directory can fill up with files, causing difficulty for
trace-processing systems.
This patch adds a config option (trace2.maxFiles) to set a maximum
number of files that trace2 will write to a target directory. The
following behavior is enabled when the maxFiles is set to a positive
integer:
When trace2 would write a file to a target directory, first check
whether or not the traces should be discarded. Traces should be
discarded if:
* there is a sentinel file declaring that there are too many files
* OR, the number of files exceeds trace2.maxFiles.
In the latter case, we create a sentinel file named git-trace2-discard
to speed up future checks.
The assumption is that a separate trace-processing system is dealing
with the generated traces; once it processes and removes the sentinel
file, it should be safe to generate new trace files again.
The default value for trace2.maxFiles is zero, which disables the file
count check.
The config can also be overridden with a new environment variable:
GIT_TRACE2_MAX_FILES.
