2013-11-11git-fetch-pack uses URLs like git-fetchLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-8/+7
"git fetch-pack" allows [<host>:]<directory> to point out the source repository. Use the term <repository>, which is already used in "git fetch" or "git pull" to describe URLs supported by Git. Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-09-09upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 secondsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default. They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing progress and resetting the keepalive timer. We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of 5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider the connection hung.

2013-09-09upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computationLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect, pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed). Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung. This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are still working on it.

As we had to revert two topics at the last minute, let's have another (hopefully short) round of rc to make sure the final release will be sound. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-08-14Revert "Add new @ shortcut for HEAD"Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-5/+0
This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u} applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it shouldn't. The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing use cases for now for the upcoming release.
2013-08-14Revert "git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directory"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+2
This reverts commit a73653130edd6a8977106d45a8092c09040f9132, as it has been reported that "ls-files --killed" is too time-consuming in a deep directory with too many untracked crufts (e.g. $HOME/.git tracking only a few files). We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be optimized before it happens.

2013-08-02Merge branch 'rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+0
Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some time ago, and it started biting us in places. This removes it and uses the standard lstat() that comes with Cygwin. Recent topic that uses lstat on packed-refs file is broken when this cheating lstat is used, and this is a simplest fix that is also the cleanest direction to go in the long run. * rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat: cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation

This reverts commit c334b87b30c1464a1ab563fe1fb8de5eaf0e5bac; the update assumed that people only used the command to read from "rev-list --objects" output, whose lines begin with a 40-hex object name followed by a whitespace, but it turns out that scripts feed random extended SHA-1 expressions (e.g. "HEAD:$pathname") in which a whitespace has to be kept.
