2016-04-27http: support sending custom HTTP headersLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
We introduce a way to send custom HTTP headers with all requests. This allows us, for example, to send an extra token from build agents for temporary access to private repositories. (This is the use case that triggered this patch.) This feature can be used like this: git -c http.extraheader='Secret: sssh!' fetch $URL $REF Note that `curl_easy_setopt(..., CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ...)` takes only a single list, overriding any previous call. This means we have to collect _all_ of the headers we want to use into a single list, and feed it to cURL in one shot. Since we already unconditionally set a "pragma" header when initializing the curl handles, we can add our new headers to that list. For callers which override the default header list (like probe_rpc), we provide `http_copy_default_headers()` so they can do the same trick. Big thanks to Jeff King and Junio Hamano for their outstanding help and patient reviews.

Some people argue that these were silly from the beginning (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/285590/focus=285601 for example), but we have to support them for compatibility. That doesn't mean we have to show them in the documentation. These were already left out of the main list, but a reference in the main manpage was left, so remove that.

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.
