2018-11-21index: make index.threads=true enable ieot and eoieLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+4
If a user explicitly sets [index] threads = true to read the index using multiple threads, ensure that index writes include the offset table by default to make that possible. This ensures that the user's intent of turning on threading is respected. In other words, permit the following configurations: - index.threads and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified: do not write the offset table yet (to avoid alarming the user with "ignoring IEOT extension" messages when an older version of Git accesses the repository) but do make use of multiple threads to read the index if the supporting offset table is present. This can also be requested explicitly by setting index.threads=true, 0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable=false. - index.threads=false or 1: do not write the offset table, and do not make use of the offset table. One can set index.recordOffsetTable=false as well, to be more explicit. - index.threads=true, 0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified: write the offset table and make use of threads at read time. This can also be requested by setting index.threads=true, 0, >1, or unspecified and index.recordOffsetTable=true. Fortunately the complication is temporary: once most Git installations have upgraded to a version with support for the IEOT and EOIE extensions, we can flip the defaults for index.recordEndOfIndexEntries and index.recordOffsetTable to true and eliminate the settings.

2018-11-21ieot: default to not writing IEOT sectionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+7
As with EOIE, popular versions of Git do not support the new IEOT extension yet. When accessing a Git repository written by a more modern version of Git, they correctly ignore the unrecognized section, but in the process they loudly warn ignoring IEOT extension resulting in confusion for users. Introduce the index extension more gently by not writing it yet in this first version with support for it. Soon, once sufficiently many users are running a modern version of Git, we can flip the default so users benefit from this index extension by default. Introduce a '[index] recordOffsetTable' configuration variable to control whether the new index extension is written.

2018-11-21eoie: default to not writing EOIE sectionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+7
Since 3b1d9e04 (eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension, 2018-10-10) Git defaults to writing the new EOIE section when writing out an index file. Usually that is a good thing because it improves threaded performance, but when a Git repository is shared with older versions of Git, it produces a confusing warning: $ git status ignoring EOIE extension HEAD detached at 371ed0defa nothing to commit, working tree clean Let's introduce the new index extension more gently. First we'll roll out the new version of Git that understands it, and then once sufficiently many users are using such a version, we can flip the default to writing it by default. Introduce a '[index] recordEndOfIndexEntries' configuration variable to allow interested users to benefit from this index extension early.

2018-11-16rebase doc: document rebase.useBuiltinLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+14
The rebase.useBuiltin variable introduced in 55071ea248 ("rebase: start implementing it as a builtin", 2018-08-07) was turned on by default in 5541bd5b8f ("rebase: default to using the builtin rebase", 2018-08-08), but had no documentation. Let's document it so that users who run into any stability issues with the C rewrite know there's an escape hatch[1], and make it clear that needing to turn off builtin rebase means you've found a bug in git. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/87y39w1wc2.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
