2020-01-08config/advice.txt: fix description list separatorLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
The whole submoduleAlternateErrorStrategyDie item is interpreted as being part of the supporting content of the preceding item. This is because we don't give a double-colon "::" for the separator, but just a single colon, ":". Let's fix that. There are a few other matches for [^:]:\s*$ in Documentation/config, but I didn't spot any similar bugs among them.

2019-12-03submodule--helper: advise on fatal alternate errorLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+3
When recursively cloning a superproject with some shallow modules defined in its .gitmodules, then recloning with "--reference=<path>", an error occurs. For example: git clone --recurse-submodules --branch=master -j8 \ https://android.googlesource.com/platform/superproject \ master 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 "--reference-if-able" instead of "--reference" when cloning.

2019-12-03Doc: explain submodule.alternateErrorStrategyLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+3
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.

2019-11-23mingw: restrict file handle inheritance only on Windows 7 and laterLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
Turns out that it don't work so well on Vista, see https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1742 for details. According to https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=8873, it *should* work on Windows Vista and later. But apparently there are issues on Windows Vista when pipes are involved. Given that Windows Vista is past its end of life (official support ended on April 11th, 2017), let's not spend *too* much time on this issue and just disable the file handle inheritance restriction on any Windows version earlier than Windows 7.

2019-11-22sparse-checkout: add 'cone' modeLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+8
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 upon in a later commit. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-11-14Start to implement a built-in version of `git add --interactive`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+5
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).

2019-10-06fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, tooLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+10
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`).

2019-10-05trace2: discard new traces if target directory has too many filesLibravatar Josh Steadmon1-0/+6
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.

2019-09-03fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config settingLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-0/+18
The commit-graph feature is now on by default, and is being written during 'git gc' by default. Typically, Git only writes a commit-graph when a 'git gc --auto' command passes the gc.auto setting to actualy do work. This means that a commit-graph will typically fall behind the commits that are being used every day. To stay updated with the latest commits, add a step to 'git fetch' to write a commit-graph after fetching new objects. The fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting enables writing a split commit-graph, so on average the cost of writing this file is very small. Occasionally, the commit-graph chain will collapse to a single level, and this could be slow for very large repos. For additional use, adjust the default to be true when feature.experimental is enabled. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The feature is a critical performance enhancement for medium- to large-sized repos, and does not significantly hurt small repos.

There are several places in the test suite where the environment variable GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH is disabled to avoid reading a commit-graph, if it exists.
