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.

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.

The indent heuristic started out as experimental, but it's now our
default diff heuristic since 33de716387 (diff: enable indent heuristic
by default, 2017-05-08). Alas, that commit didn't update the
documentation, and the description of the 'diff.indentHeuristic'
configuration variable still implies that it's experimental and not
the default.
Update the description of 'diff.indentHeuristic' to make it clear that
it's the default diff heuristic.

been updated in bab76141da (diff: --indent-heuristic is no

The 'feature.experimental' setting includes config options that are
not committed to become defaults, but could use additional testing.
Update the following config settings to take new defaults, and to
use the repo_settings struct if not already using them:
* 'pack.useSparse=true'
* 'fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping'
In the case of fetch.negotiationAlgorithm, the existing logic
would load the config option only when about to use the setting,
so had a die() statement on an unknown string value. This is
removed as now the config is parsed under prepare_repo_settings().
In general, this die() is probably misplaced and not valuable.
A test was removed that checked this die() statement executed.

The commit-graph feature has seen a lot of activity in the past
year or so since it was introduced. The feature is a critical
performance enhancement for medium- to large-sized repos, and
does not significantly hurt small repos.
Change the defaults for core.commitGraph and gc.writeCommitGraph
to true so users benefit from this feature by default.
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. The config option overrides the
environment, so swap these. Some GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH assignments
remain, and those are to avoid writing a commit-graph when a new
commit is created.

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.

"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas

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

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.

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

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

"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

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.

The stash.useBuiltin variable introduced in 90a462725e ("stash:
optionally use the scripted version again", 2019-02-25) was turned on by
default, 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, and spell out that the
user should please report the bug when they have to turn off the
built-in stash.

The connectivity bitmaps are created by default in bare
repositories now; also the pathname hash-cache is created by
default to avoid making crappy deltas when repacking.
* ew/repack-with-bitmaps-by-default:
pack-objects: default to writing bitmap hash-cache
t5310: correctly remove bitmaps for jgit test
repack: enable bitmaps by default on bare repos
