Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran
"git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases
where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed
one of the repeated words.
There were many false positives by this grep command, including
deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that
that" which I left alone, of course.
I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated
words in old RelNotes.

Docfix.
* mr/doc-can-not-to-cannot:
doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/
|

"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas
"cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible.
Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help
glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances.
Only files in the Documentation folder were modified.
'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test
assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can
not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately
from the documentation change.
Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no
other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.

The log.mailmap setting may be explicitly set to false, which disables
the mailmap feature implicity. In practice, doing so is equivalent to
always using the previously undocumented --no-use-mailmap option on the
command line.
Accordingly, we document both the existence of --no-use-mailmap as
well as briefly discuss the equivalence of it to log.mailmap=False.

The --[no-]show-forced-updates option in 'git fetch' can be confusing
for some users, especially if it is enabled via config setting and not
by argument. Add advice to warn the user that the (forced update)
messages were not listed.
Additionally, warn users when the forced update check takes longer
than ten seconds, and recommend that they disable the check. These
messages can be disabled by the advice.fetchShowForcedUpdates config
setting.

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.

(status: add --[no-]ahead-behind to status and commit for V2
format, 2018-01-09). This is a necessary change of behavior
in repos where the remote tracking branches can move very

As many CI/CD tools don't allow to control command line options when
executing `git tag` command, a default value in the configuration file
will allow to enforce tag signing if required.
The new config-file option tag.gpgSign is added to define default behavior
of tag signings. To override default behavior the command line option -s,
--sign and --no-sign can be used:
$ git tag -m "commit message"
will generate a GPG signed tag if tag.gpgSign option is true, while
$ git tag --no-sign -m "commit message"
will skip the signing step.

For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the
GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly.
Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use
abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR,
GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the
abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for. But what does TR stand for?
Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation,
transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree,
trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?!
The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is
supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility. It's
reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables
follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are
called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'.
All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the
'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'.
OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three
characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables.
So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*,
before they make their way into a stable release.

In git-format-patch, notes can be appended with the `--notes` option.
However, this must be specified by the user on an
invocation-by-invocation basis. If a user is not careful, it's possible
that they may forget to include it and generate a patch series without
notes.
Teach git-format-patch the `format.notes` config option. Its value is a
notes ref that will be automatically appended. The special value of
"standard" can be used to specify the standard notes. This option is
overridable with the `--no-notes` option in case a user wishes not to
append notes.

When ignoring commits, the commit that is blamed might not be
responsible for the change, due to the inaccuracy of our heuristic.
Users might want to know when a particular line has a potentially
inaccurate blame.
Furthermore, guess_line_blames() may fail to find any parent commit for
a given line touched by an ignored commit. Those 'unblamable' lines
remain blamed on an ignored commit. Users might want to know if a line
is unblamable so that they do not spend time investigating a commit they
know is uninteresting.
This patch adds two config options to mark these two types of lines in
the output of blame.
The first option can identify ignored lines by specifying
blame.markIgnoredLines. When this option is set, each blame line that
was blamed on a commit other than the ignored commit is marked with a
'?'.
For example:
278b6158d6fdb (Barret Rhoden 2016-04-11 13:57:54 -0400 26)
appears as:
?278b6158d6fd (Barret Rhoden 2016-04-11 13:57:54 -0400 26)
where the '?' is placed before the commit, and the hash has one fewer
characters.
Sometimes we are unable to even guess at what ancestor commit touched a
line. These lines are 'unblamable.' The second option,
blame.markUnblamableLines, will mark the line with '*'.
For example, say we ignore e5e8d36d04cbe, yet we are unable to blame
this line on another commit:
e5e8d36d04cbe (Barret Rhoden 2016-04-11 13:57:54 -0400 26)
appears as:
*e5e8d36d04cb (Barret Rhoden 2016-04-11 13:57:54 -0400 26)
When these config options are used together, every line touched by an
ignored commit will be marked with either a '?' or a '*'.

Commits that make formatting changes or function renames are often not
interesting when blaming a file. A user may deem such a commit as 'not
interesting' and want to ignore and its changes it when assigning blame.
For example, say a file has the following git history / rev-list:
---O---A---X---B---C---D---Y---E---F
Commits X and Y both touch a particular line, and the other commits do
not:
X: "Take a third parameter"
-MyFunc(1, 2);
+MyFunc(1, 2, 3);
Y: "Remove camelcase"
-MyFunc(1, 2, 3);
+my_func(1, 2, 3);
git-blame will blame Y for the change. I'd like to be able to ignore Y:
both the existence of the commit as well as any changes it made. This
differs from -S rev-list, which specifies the list of commits to
process for the blame. We would still process Y, but just don't let the
blame 'stick.'
This patch adds the ability for users to ignore a revision with
--ignore-rev=rev, which may be repeated. They can specify a set of
files of full object names of revs, e.g. SHA-1 hashes, one per line. A
single file may be specified with the blame.ignoreRevFile config option
or with --ignore-rev-file=file. Both the config option and the command
line option may be repeated multiple times. An empty file name "" will
clear the list of revs from previously processed files. Config options
are processed before command line options.
For a typical use case, projects will maintain the file containing
revisions for commits that perform mass reformatting, and their users
have the option to ignore all of the commits in that file.
Additionally, a user can use the --ignore-rev option for one-off
investigation. To go back to the example above, X was a substantive
change to the function, but not the change the user is interested in.
The user inspected X, but wanted to find the previous change to that
line - perhaps a commit that introduced that function call.
To make this work, we can't simply remove all ignored commits from the
rev-list. We need to diff the changes introduced by Y so that we can
ignore them. We let the blames get passed to Y, just like when
processing normally. When Y is the target, we make sure that Y does not
*keep* any blames. Any changes that Y is responsible for get passed to
its parent. Note we make one pass through all of the scapegoats
(parents) to attempt to pass blame normally; we don't know if we *need*
to ignore the commit until we've checked all of the parents.
The blame_entry will get passed up the tree until we find a commit that
has a diff chunk that affects those lines.
One issue is that the ignored commit *did* make some change, and there is
no general solution to finding the line in the parent commit that
corresponds to a given line in the ignored commit. That makes it hard
to attribute a particular line within an ignored commit's diff
correctly.
For example, the parent of an ignored commit has this, say at line 11:
commit-a 11) #include "a.h"
commit-b 12) #include "b.h"
Commit X, which we will ignore, swaps these lines:
commit-X 11) #include "b.h"
commit-X 12) #include "a.h"
We can pass that blame entry to the parent, but line 11 will be
attributed to commit A, even though "include b.h" came from commit B.
The blame mechanism will be looking at the parent's view of the file at
line number 11.
ignore_blame_entry() is set up to allow alternative algorithms for
guessing per-line blames. Any line that is not attributed to the parent
will continue to be blamed on the ignored commit as if that commit was
not ignored. Upcoming patches have the ability to detect these lines
and mark them in the blame output.
The existing algorithm is simple: blame each line on the corresponding
line in the parent's diff chunk. Any lines beyond that stay with the
target.
For example, the parent of an ignored commit has this, say at line 11:
commit-a 11) void new_func_1(void *x, void *y);
commit-b 12) void new_func_2(void *x, void *y);
commit-c 13) some_line_c
commit-d 14) some_line_d
After a commit 'X', we have:
commit-X 11) void new_func_1(void *x,
commit-X 12) void *y);
commit-X 13) void new_func_2(void *x,
commit-X 14) void *y);
commit-c 15) some_line_c
commit-d 16) some_line_d
Commit X nets two additionally lines: 13 and 14. The current
guess_line_blames() algorithm will not attribute these to the parent,
whose diff chunk is only two lines - not four.
When we ignore with the current algorithm, we get:
commit-a 11) void new_func_1(void *x,
commit-b 12) void *y);
commit-X 13) void new_func_2(void *x,
commit-X 14) void *y);
commit-c 15) some_line_c
commit-d 16) some_line_d
Note that line 12 was blamed on B, though B was the commit for
new_func_2(), not new_func_1(). Even when guess_line_blames() finds a
line in the parent, it may still be incorrect.

"git merge-recursive" backend recently learned a new heuristics to
infer file movement based on how other files in the same directory

based on the content similarity of the file itself (rather than

Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.
Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.
A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':
- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
worktree and index).
- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.
- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
(from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'
- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
with --source (*).
- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
specified since the default source for these two individual targets
are different (**)
- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
source, restoring means deleting the entry
(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
--from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.
(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
through when they type the commands.

this isn't a very common case and creating a tag-to-a-tag can be a

Since 07e7dbf0db (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11) we
somewhat confusingly use the same depth under --aggressive as we do by
default.
As noted in that commit that makes sense, it was wrong to make more
depth the default for "aggressive", and thus save disk space at the
expense of runtime performance, which is usually the opposite of
someone who'd like "aggressive gc" wants.
But that's left us with a mostly-redundant configuration variable, so
let's clearly note in its documentation that it doesn't change the
default.

Change the AsciiDoc formatting so that an example of "gc --auto" isn't
rendered as "git-gc(1) --auto", but as "git gc --auto". This is
consistent with the rest of the links and command examples in this
documentation.
The formatting I'm changing was initially introduced in
d5d5d7b641 ("gc: automatically write commit-graph files", 2018-06-27).

Re-flow the "gc.*" section in "config". A previous commit moved this
over from the "gc" docs, but tried to keep as many of the lines
identical to benefit from diff's move detection.

Rather than duplicating the documentation for the various "gc" options
let's include the "gc" docs from git-config. They were mostly better
already, and now we don't have the same docs in two places with subtly
different wording.
In the cases where the git-gc(1) docs were saying something the "gc"
docs in git-config(1) didn't cover move the relevant section over to
the git-config(1) docs.

When all of x/a, x/b, and x/c have moved to z/a, z/b, and z/c on one
branch, there is a question about whether x/d added on a different
branch should remain at x/d or appear at z/d when the two branches are
merged. There are different possible viewpoints here:
A) The file was placed at x/d; it's unrelated to the other files in
x/ so it doesn't matter that all the files from x/ moved to z/ on
one branch; x/d should still remain at x/d.
B) x/d is related to the other files in x/, and x/ was renamed to z/;
therefore x/d should be moved to z/d.
Since there was no ability to detect directory renames prior to
git-2.18, users experienced (A) regardless of context. Choice (B) was
implemented in git-2.18, with no option to go back to (A), and has been
in use since. However, one user reported that the merge results did not
match their expectations, making the change of default problematic,
especially since there was no notice printed when directory rename
detection moved files.
Note that there is also a third possibility here:
C) There are different answers depending on the context and content
that cannot be determined by git, so this is a conflict. Use a
higher stage in the index to record the conflict and notify the
user of the potential issue instead of silently selecting a
resolution for them.
Add an option for users to specify their preference for whether to use
directory rename detection, and default to (C). Even when directory
rename detection is on, add notice messages about files moved into new
directories.
As a sidenote, x/d did not have to be a new file here; it could have
already existed at some other path and been renamed to x/d, with
directory rename detection just renaming it again to z/d. Thus, it's
not just new files, but also a modification to all rename types (normal
renames, rename/add, rename/delete, rename/rename(1to1),
rename/rename(1to2), and rename/rename(2to1)).

When we switch from one branch to another, it makes sense to show a
summary of local changes since there could be conflicts, or some files
left modified.... When switch is used solely for creating a new
branch (and "switch" to the same commit) or detaching, we don't really
need to show anything.
"git checkout" does it anyway for historical reasons. But we can start
with a clean slate with switch and don't have to.
This essentially reverts fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout
-b <new_branch>" - 2018-08-16) and make it default for switch,
but also for -B and --detach. Users of big repos are encouraged to
move to switch.

"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many
users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the
command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good
old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most
of users) are sick of it.
See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual
implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout"
and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will
adjust their behavior to match the man page.
