The "credential-cache" daemon process used to run in whatever directory it happened to start in, but this made umount(2)ing the filesystem that houses the repository harder; now the process chdir()s to the directory that house its own socket on startup. * jg/credential-cache-chdir-to-sockdir: credential-cache--daemon: change to the socket dir on startup credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket path credential-cache--daemon: refactor check_socket_directory

We assume Git developers have a reasonably modern compiler and recommend them to enable the DEVELOPER makefile knob to ensure their patches are clear of all compiler warnings the Git core project cares about.

2016-02-24Merge branch 'bc/http-empty-auth'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
Some authentication methods do not need username or password, but libcurl needs some hint that it needs to perform authentication. Supplying an empty username and password string is a valid way to do so, but you can set the http.[<url>.]emptyAuth configuration variable to achieve the same, if you find it cleaner. * bc/http-empty-auth: http: add option to try authentication without username

2016-02-23Documentation/git-push: document that 'simple' is the defaultLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+7
The default behavior is well documented already in git-config(1), but git-push(1) itself did not mention it at all. For users willing to learn how "git push" works but not how to configure it, this makes the documentation cumbersome to read. Make the git-push(1) page self-contained by adding a short summary of what 'push.default=simple' does, early in the page.

2016-02-23credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket pathLibravatar Jon Griffiths1-1/+1
Relative socket paths are dangerous since the user cannot generally control when the daemon starts (initially, after a timeout, kill or crash). Since the daemon creates but does not delete the socket directory, this could lead to spurious directory creation relative to the users cwd.

2016-02-22argv-array: add detach functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
The usual pattern for an argv array is to initialize it, push in some strings, and then clear it when done. Very occasionally, though, we must do other exotic things with the memory, like freeing the list but keeping the strings. Let's provide a detach function so that callers can make use of our API to build up the array, and then take ownership of it.

If config values are queried using 'git config' (e.g. via --get, --get-all, --get-regexp, or --list flag) then it is sometimes hard to find the configuration file where the values were defined.

"git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a worktree to different places without telling Git (the original repository needs to maintain backpointers to its worktrees, but "mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact will obviously not adjust them), which actually made things worse when triggered. * nd/do-not-move-worktree-manually: worktree: stop supporting moving worktrees manually worktree.c: fix indentation

2016-02-15http: add option to try authentication without usernameLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+6
Performing GSS-Negotiate authentication using Kerberos does not require specifying a username or password, since that information is already included in the ticket itself. However, libcurl refuses to perform authentication if it has not been provided with a username and password. Add an option, http.emptyAuth, that provides libcurl with an empty username and password to make it attempt authentication anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

As described in the commit message of 9b25a0b (config: add include directive, 2012-02-06), the `--include` option is only on by default in some cases.

2016-02-12connect & http: support -4 and -6 switches for remote operationsLibravatar Eric Wong2-0/+15
Sometimes it is necessary to force IPv4-only or IPv6-only operation on networks where name lookups may return a non-routable address and stall remote operations. The ssh(1) command has an equivalent switches which we may pass when we run them. There may be old ssh(1) implementations out there which do not support these switches; they should report the appropriate error in that case. rsync support is untouched for now since it is deprecated and scheduled to be removed.
