Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.
Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.
First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.
The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425b (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a53 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.
Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.
Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.
However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

Because the hook runs after the main checkout operation finishes, it
cannot affect what branch will be the current branch, what paths are
updated in the working tree, etc., which was described as "cannot
affect the outcome of 'checkout'".
However, the exit status of the hook is used as the exit status of
the 'checkout' command and is observable by anybody who spawned the
'checkout', which was missing from the documentation. Fix this.

The low-level reference transactions used to update references are
currently completely opaque to the user. While certainly desirable in
most usecases, there are some which might want to hook into the
transaction to observe all queued reference updates as well as observing
the abortion or commit of a prepared transaction.
One such usecase would be to have a set of replicas of a given Git
repository, where we perform Git operations on all of the repositories
at once and expect the outcome to be the same in all of them. While
there exist hooks already for a certain subset of Git commands that
could be used to implement a voting mechanism for this, many others
currently don't have any mechanism for this.
The above scenario is the motivation for the new "reference-transaction"
hook that reaches directly into Git's reference transaction mechanism.
The hook receives as parameter the current state the transaction was
moved to ("prepared", "committed" or "aborted") and gets via its
standard input all queued reference updates. While the exit code gets
ignored in the "committed" and "aborted" states, a non-zero exit code in
the "prepared" state will cause the transaction to be aborted
prematurely.
Given the usecase described above, a voting mechanism can now be
implemented via this hook: as soon as it gets called, it will take all
of stdin and use it to cast a vote to a central service. When all
replicas of the repository agree, the hook will exit with zero,
otherwise it will abort the transaction by returning non-zero. The most
important upside is that this will catch _all_ commands writing
references at once, allowing to implement strong consistency for
reference updates via a single mechanism.
In order to test the impact on the case where we don't have any
"reference-transaction" hook installed in the repository, this commit
introduce two new performance tests for git-update-refs(1). Run against
an empty repository, it produces the following results:
Test origin/master HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref 2.70(2.10+0.71) 2.71(2.10+0.73) +0.4%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin 0.21(0.09+0.11) 0.21(0.07+0.14) +0.0%
The performance test p1400.2 creates, updates and deletes a branch a
thousand times, thus averaging runtime of git-update-refs over 3000
invocations. p1400.3 instead calls `git-update-refs --stdin` three times
and queues a thousand creations, updates and deletes respectively.
As expected, p1400.3 consistently shows no noticeable impact, as for
each batch of updates there's a single call to access(3P) for the
negative hook lookup. On the other hand, for p1400.2, one can see an
impact caused by this patchset. But doing five runs of the performance
tests where each one was run with GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10, the overhead
ranged from -1.5% to +1.1%. These inconsistent performance numbers can
be explained by the overhead of spawning 3000 processes. This shows that
the overhead of assembling the hook path and executing access(3P) once
to check if it's there is mostly outweighed by the operating system's
overhead.

"git p4" learned four new hooks and also "--no-verify" option to
bypass them (and the existing "p4-pre-submit" hook).
* bk/p4-pre-edit-changelist:
git-p4: add RCS keyword status message
git-p4: add p4 submit hooks
git-p4: restructure code in submit
git-p4: add --no-verify option
git-p4: add p4-pre-submit exit text
git-p4: create new function run_git_hook
git-p4: rewrite prompt to be Windows compatible
|
|
The git command "commit" supports a number of hooks that support
changing the behavior of the commit command. The git-p4.py program only
has one existing hook, "p4-pre-submit". This command occurs early in
the process. There are no hooks in the process flow for modifying
the P4 changelist text programmatically.
Adds 3 new hooks to git-p4.py to the submit option.
The new hooks are:
* p4-prepare-changelist - Execute this hook after the changelist file
has been created. The hook will be executed even if the
--prepare-p4-only option is set. This hook ignores the --no-verify
option in keeping with the existing behavior of git commit.
* p4-changelist - Execute this hook after the user has edited the
changelist. Do not execute this hook if the user has selected the
--prepare-p4-only option. This hook will honor the --no-verify,
following the conventions of git commit.
* p4-post-changelist - Execute this hook after the P4 submission process
has completed successfully. This hook takes no parameters and is
executed regardless of the --no-verify option. It's return value will
not be checked.
The calls to the new hooks: p4-prepare-changelist, p4-changelist,
and p4-post-changelist should all be called inside the try-finally
block.

--no-verify command line option found in git commit. It will cause the

--no-verify option. Before exiting on failure of this hook, display
text to the user explaining which hook has failed and the impact
of using the --no-verify option.

Start discouraging the use of "git filter-branch".
* en/filter-branch-deprecation:
t9902: use a non-deprecated command for testing
Recommend git-filter-repo instead of git-filter-branch
t6006: simplify, fix, and optimize empty message test
|

filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure
history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes). Many of
these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the
new repository is in use. This can result in problems ranging from an
even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first
place, to data loss or corruption. These issues cannot be backward
compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage
recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead.
Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch. Several of
these needed updates even if we could continue recommending
filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to
filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting
tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because
something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more
commonly known examples now existing. Reword these sections to fix
these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch.
Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an
alternative to filter-branch. I feel somewhat bad about this,
especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to
good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for
filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems:
* In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need
to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that
can handle all the same types of rewrites. To my knowledge,
filter-repo is the only such tool. So it needs to be mentioned.
* I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users
* If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both
and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one
can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than
the other.
* BFG and filter-repo have similar performance
* All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do. In
fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named
bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with
several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in
BFG due to its technical underpinnings.
While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to
provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that
filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it
is just better to remove that section altogether.

"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many
users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the
command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good
old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most
of users) are sick of it.
See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual
implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout"
and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will
adjust their behavior to match the man page.

Add a post-index-change hook that is invoked after the index is written in
do_write_locked_index().
This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
the outcome of git commands that trigger the index write.
The hook is passed a flag to indicate whether the working directory was
updated or not and a flag indicating if a skip-worktree bit could have
changed. These flags enable the hook to optimize its response to the

git-clone and git-checkout both invoke the post-checkout hook following
a successful checkout, yet git-worktree neglects to do so even though it
too "checks out" the worktree. Fix this oversight.
Implementation note: The newly-created worktree may reference a branch
or be detached. In the latter case, a commit lookup is performed, though
the result is used only in a boolean sense to (a) determine if the
commit actually exists, and (b) assign either the branch name or commit
ID to HEAD. Since the post-commit hook needs to know the ID of the
checked-out commit, the lookup now needs to be done in all cases, rather
than only when detached. Consequently, a new boolean is needed to handle
(b) since the lookup result itself can no longer perform that role.

The text meant to say that receive-pack runs these hooks, and only
because receive-pack is not a command the end users use every day
(ever), as an explanation also meantioned that it is run in response
to 'git push', which is an end-user facing command readers hopefully
know about.
This unfortunately gave an incorrect impression that 'git push'
always result in the hook to run. If the refs push wanted to update
all already had the desired value, these hooks are not run.

The environment variable GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT is set to the number of
push options sent, and GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} is set to the transmitted
option.
The code is not executed as the push options are set to NULL, nor is the
new capability advertised.
There was some discussion back and forth how to present these push options
to the user as there are some ways to do it:
Keep all options in one environment variable
============================================
+ easiest way to implement in Git
- This would make things hard to parse correctly in the hook.
Put the options in files instead,
filenames are in GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES
======================================
+ After a discussion about environment variables and shells, we may not
want to put user data into an environment variable (see [1] for example).
+ We could transmit binaries, i.e. we're not bound to C strings as
we are when using environment variables to the user.
+ Maybe easier to parse than constructing environment variable names
GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} yourself
- cleanup of the temporary files is hard to do reliably
- we have race conditions with multiple clients pushing, hence we'd need
to use mkstemp. That's not too bad, but still.
Use environment variables, but restrict to key/value pairs
==========================================================
(When the user pushes a push option `foo=bar`, we'd
GIT_PUSH_OPTION_foo=bar)
+ very easy to parse for a simple model of push options
- it's not sufficient for more elaborate models, e.g.
it doesn't allow doubles (e.g. cc=reviewer@email)
Present the options in different environment variables
======================================================
(This is implemented)
* harder to parse as a user, but we have a sample hook for that.
- doesn't allow binary files
+ allows the same option twice, i.e. is not restrictive about
options, except for binary files.
+ doesn't clutter a remote directory with (possibly stale)
temporary files
As we first want to focus on getting simple strings to work
reliably, we go with the last option for now. If we want to
do transmission of binaries later, we can just attach a
'side-channel', e.g. "any push option that contains a '\0' is
put into a file instead of the environment variable and we'd
have new GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES, GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILENAME_{0,1,..}
environment variables".

Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in
$(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead.
This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to
specify hooks on init time via init templates.
The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can
be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to
apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the
system.
I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create
arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the
hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

Change:
* Sentences that needed "the" or "a" to either add those or change them
so they don't need them.
* The little tangent about "You can use this to do X (if your project
wants to do X)" can just be shortened to "if you want to do X".
* s/parameter/parameters/ when the plural made more sense.
Most of this goes all the way back to the initial introduction of
hooks.txt in 6d35cc76 (Document hooks., 2005-09-02).

Any ACL you implement via an 'update' hook isn't actual access control
if the user has login access to the machine running git, because they
can trivially just build their own version of Git which doesn't run the
hook.
Change the documentation to take this dangerous edge case into account,
and remove the mention of the advice originating on the mailing list,
the users reading this don't care where the idea came up.

Change the documentation so that:
* We don't talk about "little scripts". Hooks can be as big as you
want, and don't have to be scripts, just call them "programs".
* We note that we change the working directory before a hook is called,
nothing documented this explicitly, but the current behavior is
predictable. It helps a lot to know what directory these hooks will
be executed from.
* We don't make claims about the example hooks which may not be true
depending on the configuration of 'init.templateDir'. Clarify that
we're talking about the default settings of git-init in those cases,
and move some of this documentation into git-init's documentation
about the default templates.
* We briefly note in the intro that hooks can get their arguments in
various different ways, and that how exactly is described below for
each hook.

When receive.denyCurrentBranch is set to updateInstead, a push that
tries to update the branch that is currently checked out is accepted
only when the index and the working tree exactly matches the
currently checked out commit, in which case the index and the
working tree are updated to match the pushed commit. Otherwise the
push is refused.
This hook can be used to customize this "push-to-deploy" logic. The
hook receives the commit with which the tip of the current branch is
going to be updated, and can decide what kind of local changes are
acceptable and how to update the index and the working tree to match
the updated tip of the current branch.
For example, the hook can simply run `git read-tree -u -m HEAD "$1"`
in order to emulate 'git fetch' that is run in the reverse direction
with `git push`, as the two-tree form of `read-tree -u -m` is
essentially the same as `git checkout` that switches branches while
keeping the local changes in the working tree that do not interfere
with the difference between the branches.

In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about
the following points:
- Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS;
- Spell Linux as Capitalized;
- Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

Use "SHA-1" instead of "SHA1" whenever we talk about the hash function.
When used as a programming symbol, we keep "SHA1".
