Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.
Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.
First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.
The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425b (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a53 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.
Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.
Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.
However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

The current behavior of git checkout/switch is that --guess is currently
enabled by default. However, some users may not wish for this to happen
automatically. Instead of forcing users to specify --no-guess manually
each time, teach these commands the checkout.guess configuration
variable that gives users the option to set a default behavior.
Teach the completion script to recognize the new config variable and
disable DWIM logic if it is set to false.

The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.
This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:
$ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list
This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).
We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.
Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.
In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.
Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.
This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.
Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

While the default remote name of "origin" can be changed at clone-time
with `git clone`'s `--origin` option, it was previously not possible
to specify a default value for the name of that remote. Add support for
a new `clone.defaultRemoteName` config, with the newly-created remote
name resolved in priority order:
1. (Highest priority) A remote name passed directly to `git clone -o`
2. A `clone.defaultRemoteName=new_name` in config `git clone -c`
3. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in `/path/to/template/config`,
where `--template=/path/to/template` is provided
4. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in a non-template config file
5. The default value of `origin`

We document how `merge.suppressDest` can be used to omit " into <branch
name>" from the title of the merge message. It is true that we omit the
space character before "into", but that lone double quote character
risks ending up on the wrong side of a line break, looking a bit out of
place. This currently happens with, e.g., 80-character terminals.
Drop that leading quoted space. The result should be just as clear about
how this option affects the formatted message.

Protocol v2 became the default in v2.26.0 via 684ceae32d (fetch: default
to protocol version 2, 2019-12-23). More widespread use turned up a
regression in negotiation. That was fixed in v2.27.0 via 4fa3f00abb
(fetch-pack: in protocol v2, in_vain only after ACK, 2020-04-27), but we
also reverted the default to v0 as a precuation in 11c7f2a30b (Revert
"fetch: default to protocol version 2", 2020-04-22).
In v2.28.0, we re-enabled it for experimental users with 3697caf4b9
(config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2, 2020-05-20)
and haven't heard any complaints. v2.28 has only been out for 2 months,
but I'd generally expect people turning on feature.experimental to also
stay pretty up-to-date. So we're not likely to collect much more data by
waiting. In addition, we have no further reports from people running
v2.26.0, and of course some people have been setting protocol.version
manually for ages.
Let's move forward with v2 as the default again. It's possible there are
still lurking bugs, but we won't know until it gets more widespread use.
And we can find and squash them just like any other bug at this point.

The incremental-repack task updates the multi-pack-index by deleting pack-
files that have been replaced with new packs, then repacking a batch of
small pack-files into a larger pack-file. This incremental repack is faster
than rewriting all object data, but is slower than some other
maintenance activities.
The 'maintenance.incremental-repack.auto' config option specifies how many
pack-files should exist outside of the multi-pack-index before running
the step. These pack-files could be created by 'git fetch' commands or
by the loose-objects task. The default value is 10.
Setting the option to zero disables the task with the '--auto' option,
and a negative value makes the task run every time.

The core.multiPackIndex setting has been around since c4d25228ebb
(config: create core.multiPackIndex setting, 2018-07-12), but has been
disabled by default. If a user wishes to use the multi-pack-index
feature, then they must enable this config and run 'git multi-pack-index
write'.
The multi-pack-index feature is relatively stable now, so make the
config option true by default. For users that do not use a
multi-pack-index, the only extra cost will be a file lookup to see if a
multi-pack-index file exists (once per process, per object directory).
Also, this config option will be referenced by an upcoming
"incremental-repack" task in the maintenance builtin, so move the config
option into the repository settings struct. Note that if
GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1, then we want to ignore the config option
and treat core.multiPackIndex as enabled.

The loose-objects task deletes loose objects that already exist in a
pack-file, then place the remaining loose objects into a new pack-file.
If this step runs all the time, then we risk creating pack-files with
very few objects with every 'git commit' process. To prevent
overwhelming the packs directory with small pack-files, place a minimum
number of objects to justify the task.
The 'maintenance.loose-objects.auto' config option specifies a minimum
number of loose objects to justify the task to run under the '--auto'
option. This defaults to 100 loose objects. Setting the value to zero
will prevent the step from running under '--auto' while a negative value
will force it to run every time.

Instead of writing a new commit-graph in every 'git maintenance run
--auto' process (when maintenance.commit-graph.enalbed is configured to
be true), only write when there are "enough" commits not in a
commit-graph file.
This count is controlled by the maintenance.commit-graph.auto config
option.
To compute the count, use a depth-first search starting at each ref, and
leaving markers using the SEEN flag. If this count reaches the limit,
then terminate early and start the task. Otherwise, this operation will
peel every ref and parse the commit it points to. If these are all in
the commit-graph, then this is typically a very fast operation. Users
with many refs might feel a slow-down, and hence could consider updating
their limit to be very small. A negative value will force the step to
run every time.

Currently, a normal run of "git maintenance run" will only run the 'gc'
task, as it is the only one enabled. This is mostly for backwards-
compatible reasons since "git maintenance run --auto" commands replaced
previous "git gc --auto" commands after some Git processes. Users could
manually run specific maintenance tasks by calling "git maintenance run
--task=<task>" directly.
Allow users to customize which steps are run automatically using config.
The 'maintenance.<task>.enabled' option then can turn on these other
tasks (or turn off the 'gc' task).

Git uses the 'core.commitGraph' configuration value to control whether
or not the commit graph is used when parsing commits or performing a
traversal.
Now that commit-graphs can also contain a section for changed-path Bloom
filters, administrators that already have commit-graphs may find it
convenient to use those graphs without relying on their changed-path
Bloom filters. This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out,
or in the event of an incident.
Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom
filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both:
- 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a
commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters.
- The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow
reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently.
When the variable is set, pretend as if no Bloom data was specified at
all. This avoids adding additional special-casing outside of the
commit-graph internals.

Add a new multi-valued config variable "receive.procReceiveRefs"
for `receive-pack` command, like the follows:
git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs refs/for
git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs refs/drafts
If the specific prefix strings given by the config variables match the
reference names of the commands which are sent from git client to
`receive-pack`, these commands will be executed by an external hook
(named "proc-receive"), instead of the internal `execute_commands`
function.
For example, if it is set to "refs/for", pushing to a reference such as
"refs/for/master" will not create or update reference "refs/for/master",
but may create or update a pull request directly by running the hook
"proc-receive".
Optional modifiers can be provided in the beginning of the value to
filter commands for specific actions: create (a), modify (m),
delete (d). A `!` can be included in the modifiers to negate the
reference prefix entry. E.g.:
git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs ad:refs/heads
git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs !:refs/heads

In b79cf959b2 (upload-pack.c: allow banning certain object filter(s),
2020-02-26), we introduced functionality to disallow certain object
filters from being chosen from within 'git upload-pack'. Traditionally,
administrators use this functionality to disallow filters that are known
to perform slowly, for e.g., those that do not have bitmap-level
filtering.
In the past, the '--filter=tree:<n>' was one such filter that does not
have bitmap-level filtering support, and so was likely to be banned by
administrators.
However, in the previous couple of commits, we introduced bitmap-level
filtering for the case when 'n' is equal to '0', i.e., as if we had a
'--filter=tree:none' choice.
While it would be sufficient to simply write
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
(since it would allow all values of 'n'), we would like to be able to
allow this filter for certain values of 'n', i.e., those no greater than
some pre-specified maximum.
In order to do this, introduce a new configuration key, as follows:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth <m>
where '<m>' specifies the maximum allowed value of 'n' in the filter
'tree:n'. Administrators who wish to allow for only the value '0' can
write:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth 0
which allows '--filter=tree:0', but no other values.

Git clients may ask the server for a partial set of objects, where the
set of objects being requested is refined by one or more object filters.
Server administrators can configure 'git upload-pack' to allow or ban
these filters by setting the 'uploadpack.allowFilter' variable to
'true' or 'false', respectively.
However, administrators using bitmaps may wish to allow certain kinds of
object filters, but ban others. Specifically, they may wish to allow
object filters that can be optimized by the use of bitmaps, while
rejecting other object filters which aren't and represent a perceived
performance degradation (as well as an increased load factor on the
server).
Allow configuring 'git upload-pack' to support object filters on a
case-by-case basis by introducing two new configuration variables:
- 'uploadpackfilter.allow'
- 'uploadpackfilter.<kind>.allow'
where '<kind>' may be one of 'blobNone', 'blobLimit', 'tree', and so on.
Setting the second configuration variable for any valid value of
'<kind>' explicitly allows or disallows restricting that kind of object
filter.
If a client requests the object filter <kind> and the respective
configuration value is not set, 'git upload-pack' will default to the
value of 'uploadpackfilter.allow', which itself defaults to 'true' to
maintain backwards compatibility. Note that this differs from
'uploadpack.allowfilter', which controls whether or not the 'filter'
capability is advertised.

In Git 2.28, we stopped special casing 'master' when producing the
default merge message by just removing the code to squelch "into
'master'" at the end of the message.
Introduce multi-valued merge.suppressDest configuration variable
that gives a set of globs to match against the name of the branch
into which the merge is being made, to let users specify for which
branch fmt-merge-msg's output should be shortened. When it is not
set, 'master' is used as the sole value of the variable by default.
The above move mostly reverts the pre-2.28 default in repositories
that have no relevant configuration.
Add a few tests to protect the behaviour with the new configuration
variable from future regression.

I've seen several people mis-configure git send-email on their first
attempt because they set the sendmail.* config options - not
sendemail.*. This patch detects this mistake and bails out with a
friendly warning.

The fetch.writeCommitGraph feature makes fetches write out a commit
graph file for the newly downloaded pack on fetch. This improves the
performance of various commands that would perform a revision walk and
eventually ought to be the default for everyone. To prepare for that
future, it's enabled by default for users that set
feature.experimental=true to experience such future defaults.
Alas, for --unshallow fetches from a shallow clone it runs into a
snag: by the time Git has fetched the new objects and is writing a
commit graph, it has performed a revision walk and r->parsed_objects
contains information about the shallow boundary from *before* the
fetch. The commit graph writing code is careful to avoid writing a
commit graph file in shallow repositories, but the new state is not
shallow, and the result is that from that point on, commands like "git
log" make use of a newly written commit graph file representing a
fictional history with the old shallow boundary.
We could fix this by making the commit graph writing code more careful
to avoid writing a commit graph that could have used any grafts or
shallow state, but it is possible that there are other pieces of
mutated state that fetch's commit graph writing code may be relying
on. So disable it in the feature.experimental configuration.
Google developers have been running in this configuration (by setting
fetch.writeCommitGraph=false in the system config) to work around this
bug since it was discovered in April. Once the fix lands, we'll
enable fetch.writeCommitGraph=true again to give it some early testing
before rolling out to a wider audience.
In other words:
- this patch only affects behavior with feature.experimental=true
- it makes feature.experimental match the configuration Google has
been using for the last few months, meaning it would leave users in
a better tested state than without it
- this should improve testing for other features guarded by
feature.experimental, by making feature.experimental safer to use

When cloning a repository without any branches, Git chooses a default
branch name for the as-yet unborn branch.
As part of the implicit initialization of the local repository, Git just
learned to respect `init.defaultBranch` to choose a different initial
branch name. We now really want that branch name to be used as a
fall-back.

We just introduced the command-line option
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>` to allow initializing a new repository
with a different initial branch than the hard-coded one.
To allow users to override the initial branch name more permanently
(i.e. without having to specify the name manually for each and every
`git init` invocation), let's introduce the `init.defaultBranch` config
setting.

The commands in the "diff" family learned to honor "diff.relative"
configuration variable.
* la/diff-relative-config:
diff: add config option relative
|
|
The `diff.relative` boolean option set to `true` shows only changes in
the current directory/value specified by the `path` argument of the
`relative` option and shows pathnames relative to the aforementioned
directory.
Teach `--no-relative` to override earlier `--relative`
Add for git-format-patch(1) options documentation `--relative` and
`--no-relative`

Git 2.26 used protocol v2 as its default protocol, but soon after
release, users noticed that the protocol v2 negotiation code was prone
to fail when fetching from some remotes that are far ahead of others
(such as linux-next.git versus Linus's linux.git). That has been
fixed by 0b07eecf6ed (Merge branch 'jt/v2-fetch-nego-fix',
2020-05-01), but to be cautious, we are using protocol v0 as the
default in 2.27 to buy some time for any other unanticipated issues to
surface.
To that end, let's ensure that users requesting the bleeding edge
using the feature.experimental flag *do* get protocol v2. This way,
we can gain experience with a wider audience for the new protocol
version and be more confident when it is time to enable it by default
for all users in some future Git version.
Implementation note: this isn't with the rest of the
feature.experimental options in repo-settings.c because those are tied
to a repository object, whereas this code path is used for operations
like "git ls-remote" that do not require a repository.
