2015-03-24git-credential-store: support XDG_CONFIG_HOMELibravatar Paul Tan1-2/+33
Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials to the default credential search path of git-credential-store. This allows git-credential-store to support user-specific configuration files in accordance with the XDG base directory specification[1]. [1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html ~/.git-credentials has a higher precedence than $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials when looking up credentials. This means that if any duplicate matching credentials are found in the xdg file (due to ~/.git-credentials being updated by old versions of git or outdated tools), they will not be used at all. This is to give the user some leeway in switching to old versions of git while keeping the xdg directory. This is consistent with the behavior of git-config. However, the higher precedence of ~/.git-credentials means that as long as ~/.git-credentials exist, all credentials will be written to the ~/.git-credentials file even if the user has an xdg file as having a ~/.git-credentials file indicates that the user wants to preserve backwards-compatibility. This is also consistent with the behavior of git-config. To make this precedence explicit in docs/git-credential-store, add a new section FILES that lists out the credential file paths in their order of precedence, and explain how the ordering affects the lookup, storage and erase operations. Also, update the documentation for --file to briefly explain the operations on multiple files if the --file option is not provided. Since the xdg file will not be used unless it actually exists, to prevent the situation where some credentials are present in the xdg file while some are present in the home file, users are recommended to not create the xdg file if they require compatibility with old versions of git or outdated tools. Note, though, that "erase" can be used to explicitly erase matching credentials from all files.

2015-01-12doc: core.ignoreStat update, and clarify the --assume-unchanged effectLibravatar Philip Oakley1-9/+13
The assume-unchanged bit, and consequently core.ignoreStat, can be misunderstood. Be assertive about the expectation that file changes should notified to Git. Overhaul the general wording thus: 1. direct description of what is ignored given first. 2. example instruction of the user manual action required. 3. use sideways indirection for assume-unchanged and update-index references. 4. add a 'normally' to give leeway for the change detection.

Earlier we made "rev-list --object-edge" more aggressively list the objects at the edge commits, in order to reduce number of objects fetched into a shallow repository, but the change affected cases other than "fetching into a shallow repository" and made it unusably slow (e.g. fetching into a normal repository should not have to suffer the overhead from extra processing). Limit it to a more specific case by introducing --objects-edge-aggressive, a new option to rev-list. * bc/fetch-thin-less-aggressive-in-normal-repository: pack-objects: use --objects-edge-aggressive for shallow repos rev-list: add an option to mark fewer edges as uninteresting Documentation: add missing article in rev-list-options.txt

2014-12-29pack-objects: use --objects-edge-aggressive for shallow reposLibravatar brian m. carlson2-2/+8
When fetching into or pushing from a shallow repository, we want to aggressively mark edges as uninteresting, since this decreases the pack size. However, aggressively marking edges can negatively affect performance on large non-shallow repositories with lots of refs. Teach pack-objects a --shallow option to indicate that we're pushing from or fetching into a shallow repository. Use --objects-edge-aggressive only for shallow repositories and otherwise use --objects-edge, which performs better in the general case. Update the callers to pass the --shallow option when they are dealing with a shallow repository.

2014-12-29rev-list: add an option to mark fewer edges as uninterestingLibravatar brian m. carlson2-1/+6
In commit fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges in mark_edges_uninteresting - 2013-08-16), we marked an increasing number of edges uninteresting. This change, and the subsequent change to make this conditional on --objects-edge, are used by --thin to make much smaller packs for shallow clones. Unfortunately, they cause a significant performance regression when pushing non-shallow clones with lots of refs (23.322 seconds vs. 4.785 seconds with 22400 refs). Add an option to git rev-list, --objects-edge-aggressive, that preserves this more aggressive behavior, while leaving --objects-edge to provide more performant behavior. Preserve the current behavior for the moment by using the aggressive option. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Credential helpers are asked in turn until one of them give positive response, which is cumbersome to turn off when you need to run Git in an automated setting.
