Introduce two new ways to feed configuration variable-value pairs
via environment variables, and tweak the way GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
encodes variable/value pairs to make it more robust.
* ps/config-env-pairs:
config: allow specifying config entries via envvar pairs
environment: make `getenv_safe()` a public function
config: store "git -c" variables using more robust format
config: parse more robust format in GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
config: extract function to parse config pairs
quote: make sq_dequote_step() a public function
config: add new way to pass config via `--config-env`
git: add `--super-prefix` to usage string
|
|
While it's already possible to pass runtime configuration via `git -c
<key>=<value>`, it may be undesirable to use when the value contains
sensitive information. E.g. if one wants to set `http.extraHeader` to
contain an authentication token, doing so via `-c` would trivially leak
those credentials via e.g. ps(1), which typically also shows command
arguments.
To enable this usecase without leaking credentials, this commit
introduces a new switch `--config-env=<key>=<envvar>`. Instead of
directly passing a value for the given key, it instead allows the user
to specify the name of an environment variable. The value of that
variable will then be used as value of the key.

When set in the environment, GIT_TRACE_REFS makes git print operations and
results as they flow through the ref storage backend. This helps debug
discrepancies between different ref backends.

Doc update.
* pb/doc-external-diff-env:
git.txt: correct stale 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' description
|
|
In fde97d8ac6 (Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS
example., 2006-11-27), the description of the 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'
variable was moved from 'diff-format.txt' to 'git.txt', and the
documentation was updated to remove a 'diff(1)' invocation since Git did
not use an external diff program anymore by default.
However, the description of 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' still mentions "instead
of the diff invocation described above", which is confusing.
Correct that outdated sentence.
Also, link to git(1) in 'diff-generate-patch.txt' when GIT_DIFF_OPTS and
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF are mentioned, so that users can easily know what
these variables are about.

The recent addition of SHA-256 support is marked as experimental in
the documentation.
* ma/doc-sha-256-is-experimental:
Documentation: mark `--object-format=sha256` as experimental
|
|
After eff45daab8 ("repository: enable SHA-256 support by default",
2020-07-29), vanilla builds of Git enable the user to run, e.g.,
git init --object-format=sha256
and hack away. This can be a good way to gain experience with the
SHA-256 world, e.g., to find bugs that
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 make test
doesn't spot.
But it really is a separate world: Such SHA-256 repos will live entirely
separate from the (by now fairly large) set of SHA-1 repos. Interacting
across the border is possible in principle, e.g., through "diff + apply"
(or "format-patch + am"), but even that has its limitations: Applying a
SHA-256 diff in a SHA-1 repo works in the simple case, but if you need
to resort to `-3`, you're out of luck.
Similarly, "push + pull" should work, but you really will be operating
mostly offset from the rest of the world. That might be ok by the time
you initialize your repository, and it might be ok for several months
after that, but there might come a day when you're starting to regret
your use of `git init --object-format=sha256` and have dug yourself into
a fairly deep hole.
There are currently topics in flight to document our data formats and
protocols regarding SHA-256 and in some cases (midx and commit-graph),
we're considering adjusting how the file formats indicate which object
format to use.
Wherever `--object-format` is mentioned in our documentation, let's make
it clear that using it with "sha256" is experimental. If we later need
to explain why we can't handle data we generated back in 2020, we can
always point to this paragraph we're adding here.
By "include::"-ing a small blurb, we should be able to be consistent
throughout the documentation and can eventually gradually tone down the
severity of this text. One day, we might even use it to start phasing
out `--object-format=sha1`, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...
There's also `extensions.objectFormat`, but it's only mentioned three
times. Twice where we're adding this new disclaimer and in the third
spot we already have a "do not edit" warning. From there, interested
readers should eventually find this new one that we're adding here.
Because `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` provides another entry point to this
functionality, document the experimental nature of it too.

Not all man5/man7 guides are mentioned in the 'git(1)' documentation,
which makes the missing ones somewhat hard to find.
Add a list of the guides to git(1) by leveraging the existing
`Documentation/cmd-list.perl` script to generate a file `cmds-guide.txt`
which gets included in git.txt.
Also, do not hard-code the manual section '1'. Instead, use a regex so
that the manual section is discovered from the first line of each
`git*.txt` file.
This addition was hinted at in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt
for the source of guides, 2018-05-20).

HTTP cookies by default. Now that auth headers (since the implementation
of GIT_TRACE_CURL in 74c682d3c6 ("http.c: implement the GIT_TRACE_CURL

commit) are redacted by default in these traces, also allow the user to
inhibit these redactions through an environment variable.
Since values of all cookies are now redacted by default,
GIT_REDACT_COOKIES (which previously allowed users to select individual
cookies to redact) now has no effect.

Whenever GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is set, teach Git to behave as if
GIT_TRACE_CURL=1 and GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA=1 is set, instead of setting
CURLOPT_VERBOSE.
This is to prevent inadvertent revelation of sensitive data. In
particular, GIT_CURL_VERBOSE redacts neither the "Authorization" header
nor any cookies specified by GIT_REDACT_COOKIES.
Unifying the tracing mechanism also has the future benefit that any
improvements to the tracing mechanism will benefit both users of
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and GIT_TRACE_CURL, and we do not need to remember to
implement any improvement twice.

For the foreseeable future, SHA-1 will be the default algorithm for Git.
However, when running the testsuite, we want to be able to test an
arbitrary algorithm. It would be quite burdensome and very untidy to
have to specify the algorithm we'd like to test every time we
initialized a new repository somewhere in the testsuite, so add an
environment variable to allow us to specify the default hash algorithm
for Git.
This has the benefit that we can set it once for the entire testsuite
and not have to think about it. In the future, users can also use it to
set the default for their repositories if they would like to do so.

One effect of specifying where the GIT_DIR is (either with the
environment variable, or with the "git --git-dir=<where> cmd"
option) is to disable the repository discovery. This has been
placed a bit more stress in the documentation, as new users often
get confused.
* hw/doc-git-dir:
git: update documentation for --git-dir
|
|
git --git-dir <path> is a bit confusing and sometimes doesn't work as
the user would expect it to.
For example, if the user runs `git --git-dir=<path> status`, git
will skip the repository discovery algorithm and will assign the
work tree to the user's current work directory unless otherwise
specified. When this assignment is wrong, the output will not match
the user's expectations.
This patch updates the documentation to make it clearer.

While at one time it made perfect sense to store information about
configuring author and committer information in the documentation for
git commit-tree, in modern Git that operation is seldom used. Most
users will use git commit and expect to find comprehensive documentation
about its use in the manual page for that command.
Considering that there is significant confusion about how one is to use
the user.name and user.email variables, let's put as much documentation
as possible into an obvious place where users will be more likely to
find it.
In addition, expand the environment variables section to describe their
use more fully. Even though we now describe all of the options there
and in the configuration settings documentation, preserve the existing
text in git-commit.txt so that people can easily reason about the
ordering of the various options they can use. Explain the use of the
author.* and committer.* options as well.

The start_delayed_progress() method is a preferred way to show
optional progress to users as it ignores steps that take less
than two seconds. However, this makes testing unreliable as tests
expect to be very fast.
In addition, users may want to decrease or increase this time
interval depending on their preferences for terminal noise.
Create the GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY environment variable to control
the delay set during start_delayed_progress(). Set the value
in some tests to guarantee their output remains consistent.

The descriptions of the GIT_TRACE2* environment variables link to the
technical docs for further details on the supported values. However,
a link like this only really works if the docs are viewed in a browser
and the full documentation is available. OTOH, in 'man git' there are
no links to conveniently click on, and distro-shipped git packages
tend to include only the man pages, while the technical docs and the
docs in html format are in a separate 'git-doc' package.
So let's describe the supported values to make the manpage more
self-contained, but still keep the references to the technical docs
because the details of the SID, and the JSON and perf output formats
are definitely beyond the scope of 'man git'.

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.

Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.
Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.
A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':
- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
worktree and index).
- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.
- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
(from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'
- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
with --source (*).
- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
specified since the default source for these two individual targets
are different (**)
- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
source, restoring means deleting the entry
(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
--from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.
(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
through when they type the commands.

By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command
collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before
this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In
"git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for
getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not
really count.
A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed
anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay
because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and
without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable.
There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before
"git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as
well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over
command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a
man page for external commands anyway.

This is part of the effort to break down and provide commands by
category in machine-readable form. This could be helpful later on when
completion script switches to use --list-cmds for selecting
completable commands. It would be much easier for the user to choose
to complete _all_ commands instead of the default selection by passing
different values to --list-cmds in git-completino.bash.
While at there, replace "git help -a" in git-completion.bash with
--list-cmds since it's better suited for this task.

Even if these are hidden options, let's make them a bit more generic
since we're introducing more listing types shortly. The code is
structured to allow combining multiple listing types together because
we will soon add more types the 'builtins'.
'parseopt' remains separate because it has separate (SPC) to match
git-completion.bash needs and will not combine with others.

It is possible to configure 'less', the pager, to use an alternate
screen to show the content, for example, by setting LESS=RS in the
environment. When it is closed in this configuration, it switches
back to the original screen, and all content is gone.
It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in
the terminal. For this, the option --no-pager can be used. But
it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is
available. Provide a short option, -P, to make the option more
easily accessible.
