In some scenarios, users may want more history than the repository
offered for cloning, which happens to be a shallow repository, can
give them. But because users don't know it is a shallow repository
until they download it to local, we may want to refuse to clone
this kind of repository, without creating any unnecessary files.
The '--depth=x' option cannot be used as a solution; the source may
be deep enough to give us 'x' commits when cloned, but the user may
later need to deepen the history to arbitrary depth.
Teach '--reject-shallow' option to "git clone" to abort as soon as
we find out that we are cloning from a shallow repository.

"git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable
to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository
was cloned from.
* sb/clone-origin:
clone: allow configurable default for `-o`/`--origin`
clone: read new remote name from remote_name instead of option_origin
clone: validate --origin option before use
refs: consolidate remote name validation
remote: add tests for add and rename with invalid names
clone: use more conventional config/option layering
clone: add tests for --template and some disallowed option pairs
|
|
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`

The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check
for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or
'git fetch'.
To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace
the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run
--auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other
steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities.
Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is
happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff.
Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls
slightly.
Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'
subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more
descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the
documentation to include these options at the same time.

It turns out that the "--filter=<filter-spec>" option is not
documented anywhere in the "git clone" page, and instead is
detailed carefully in "git rev-list" where it serves a
different purpose.
Add a small bit about this option in the documentation. It
would be worth some time to create a subsection in the "git clone"
documentation about partial clone as a concept and how it can be
a surprising experience. For example, "git checkout" will likely
trigger a pack download.

When someone wants to clone a large repository, but plans to work
using a sparse-checkout file, they either need to do a full
checkout first and then reduce the patterns they included, or
clone with --no-checkout, set up their patterns, and then run
a checkout manually. This requires knowing a lot about the repo
shape and how sparse-checkout works.
Add a new '--sparse' option to 'git clone' that initializes the
sparse-checkout file to include the following patterns:
/*
!/*/
These patterns include every file in the root directory, but
no directories. This allows a repo to include files like a
README or a bootstrapping script to grow enlistments from that
point.
During the 'git sparse-checkout init' call, we must first look
to see if HEAD is valid, since 'git clone' does not have a valid
HEAD at the point where it initializes the sparse-checkout. The
following checkout within the clone command will create the HEAD
ref and update the working directory correctly.

When using `git clone --recurse-submodules` there was previously no way to
pass a `--remote` switch to the implicit `git submodule update` command for
any use case where you want the submodules to be checked out on their
remote-tracking branch rather than with the SHA-1 recorded in the superproject.
This patch rectifies this situation. It actually passes `--no-fetch` to
`git submodule update` as well on the grounds they the submodule has only just
been cloned, so fetching from the remote again only serves to slow things down.

Commit 5e3548ef16 ("fetch: send server options when using protocol v2",
2018-04-24) taught "fetch" the ability to send server options when using
protocol v2, but not "clone". This ability is triggered by "-o" or
"--server-option".
Teach "clone" the same ability, except that because "clone" already
has "-o" for another parameter, teach "clone" only to receive
"--server-option".
Explain in the documentation, both for clone and for fetch, that server
handling of server options are server-specific. This is similar to
receive-pack's handling of push options - currently, they are just sent
to hooks to interpret as they see fit.

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper

This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's

There have been a few complaints on the mailing list that git-clone doesn't
respect the `submodule.recurse` setting, which every other command (that
potentially knows how to deal with submodules) respects. In case of clone
this is not beneficial to respect as the user may not want to obtain all
submodules (assuming a pathspec of '.').
Improve the documentation such that the pathspec is mentioned in the
synopsis to alleviate the confusion around the submodule recursion flag
in git-clone.
While at it clarify that the option can be given multiple times for complex

Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags.
Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without
also fetching its tags.
When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be
cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now
--no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without
tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch.
This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a
normal clone but not fetch any tags.
Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number
of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a
command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead
of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will
slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly
show ~40k references instead of 1.
The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a
repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like
a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring
about any other references.
Without this change the only way of accomplishing this was either by
manually tweaking the config in a fresh repository:
git init git &&
cat >git/.git/config <<EOF &&
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:git/git.git
tagOpt = --no-tags
fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
EOF
cd git &&
git pull
Which requires hardcoding the "master" name, which may not be the main
--single-branch would have retrieved, or alternatively by setting
tagOpt=--no-tags right after cloning & deleting any existing tags:
git clone --single-branch git@github.com:git/git.git &&
cd git &&
git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d
Which of course was also subtly buggy if --branch was pointed at a
tag, leaving the user in a detached head:
git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 git@github.com:git/git.git &&
cd git &&
git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags &&
git tag -l | xargs git tag -d
Now all this complexity becomes the much simpler:
git clone --single-branch --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git
Or in the case of cloning a single tag "branch":
git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git

Teach clone --recurse-submodules to optionally take a pathspec argument
which describes which submodules should be recursively initialized and
cloned. If no pathspec is provided, --recurse-submodules will
recursively initialize and clone all submodules by using a default
pathspec of ".". In order to construct more complex pathspecs,
--recurse-submodules can be given multiple times.
This also configures the 'submodule.active' configuration option to be
the given pathspec, such that any future invocation of `git submodule
update` will keep up with the pathspec.
Additionally the switch '--recurse' is removed from the Documentation as
well as marked hidden in the options array, to streamline the options
for submodules. A simple '--recurse' doesn't convey what is being
recursed, e.g. it could mean directories or trees (c.f. ls-tree) In a
lot of other commands we already have '--recurse-submodules' to mean
recursing into submodules, so advertise this spelling here as the
genuine option.

Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth"
that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also
be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream
of the submodules are not prepared for.
* sb/clone-shallow-passthru:
clone: do not let --depth imply --shallow-submodules
|
|
In v2.9.0, we prematurely flipped the default to force cloning
submodules shallowly, when the superproject is getting cloned
shallowly. This is likely to fail when the upstream repositories
submodules are cloned from a repository that is not prepared to
serve histories that ends at a commit that is not at the tip of a
branch, and we know the world is not yet ready.
Use a safer default to clone the submodules fully, unless the user
tells us that she knows that the upstream repository of the
submodules are willing to cooperate with "--shallow-submodules"
option.

"git clone" learned "--shallow-submodules" option.
* sb/clone-shallow-passthru:
clone: add `--shallow-submodules` flag
|
|
When creating a shallow clone of a repository with submodules, the depth
argument does not influence the submodules, i.e. the submodules are done
as non-shallow clones. It is unclear what the best default is for the
depth of submodules of a shallow clone, so we need to have the possibility
to do all kinds of combinations:
* shallow super project with shallow submodules
e.g. build bots starting always from scratch. They want to transmit
the least amount of network data as well as using the least amount
of space on their hard drive.
* shallow super project with unshallow submodules
e.g. The superproject is just there to track a collection of repositories
and it is not important to have the relationship between the repositories
intact. However the history of the individual submodules matter.
* unshallow super project with shallow submodules
e.g. The superproject is the actual project and the submodule is a
library which is rarely touched.
The new switch to select submodules to be shallow or unshallow supports
all of these three cases.
It is easy to transition from the first to the second case by just
unshallowing the submodules (`git submodule foreach git fetch
--unshallow`), but it is not possible to transition from the second to the
first case (as we would have already transmitted the non shallow over
the network). That is why we want to make the first case the default in
case of a shallow super project. This leads to the inconvenience in the
second case with the shallow super project and unshallow submodules,
as you need to pass `--no-shallow-submodules`.

It turns out "git clone" over rsync transport has been broken when
the source repository has packed references for a long time, and
nobody noticed nor complained about it.
* jk/drop-rsync-transport:
transport: drop support for git-over-rsync
|
|
The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and
has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than
it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/",
regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc
parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but
doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones,
leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side
to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry,
or complaining that the other side has two copies of the
refs[1]).
This latter breakage means that nobody could have
successfully pulled from a moderately active repository
since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01).
We never made an official deprecation notice in the release
notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked
it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30).
And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find
Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite
some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had
deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did
come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!).
Of course some people professed their love of rsync through
2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]:
> Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though
> everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is
> deprecated."
No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing
something _wrong_.
The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a
mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7].
Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4)
lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal
warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken
since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without
further deprecation warnings.

While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an
existing local repository of the same project is an effective way to
reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the
resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed"
repository. After running
git clone --reference=P $URL Q
the resulting repository Q will be broken if the borrowed repository
P disappears.
The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack
the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while
power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable.
Teach a new "--dissociate" option to "git clone" to run this
repacking for the user.

The document says one cannot push from a shallow clone. But that is
not true (maybe it was at some point in the past). The client does not
stop such a push nor does it give any indication to the receiver that
this is a shallow push. If the receiver accepts it, it's in.
Since 52fed6e (receive-pack: check connectivity before concluding "git
push" - 2011-09-02), receive-pack is prepared to deal with broken
push, a shallow push can't cause any corruption. Update the document
to reflect that.

The 3.x tree has been out for a while now. The -2.6 repository name
survived the initial release [1], but kernel.org now only lists
'linux.git' (for aegl as well as torvalds) [2].

There may be times when using one of your local repositories as a
reference for a new clone make sense, but the implied version-bump in
the old example isn't one of them. I think a more intuitive example
is multi-user system with a central reference clone, and the new paths
hint at this use case.
