You can already use relative paths in include.path, which
means that including "foo" from your global "~/.gitconfig"
will look in your home directory. However, you might want to
do something clever like putting "~/.gitconfig-foo" in a
specific repository's config file.

When "git fetch" encounters repositories with too many references, the
command line of "fetch-pack" that is run by a helper e.g. remote-curl,
may fail to hold all of them. Now such an internal invocation can feed

If fast-import's command pipe and the frontend's cat-blob/ls response
pipe are both filled, there can be a deadlock. Luckily all existing
frontends consume any pending cat-blob/ls responses completely before
writing the next command.
Document the requirements so future frontend authors and users can be
spared from the problem, too. It is not always easy to catch that
kind of bug by testing.
To set the scene, add some words of explanation to help the novice
understand that "cat-blob" and "ls" output are meant for consumption
by the frontend.

Document the default pager and editor chosen at compile time in the
git-var(1) manpage so users curious about what command _this_ copy of
git will fall back to when EDITOR, VISUAL, and PAGER are unset can
find the answer quickly.
In builds leaving those settings uncustomized, this patch makes the
manpage continue to say "usually vi" and "usually less" so the
formatted documentation is usable for a wide audience including users
of custom builds that change those settings. If you would like your
copy of the docs to be less noncommittal, you will need to set
DEFAULT_PAGER=less and DEFAULT_EDITOR=vi explicitly.

The description of "commit -t <file>" said the file is used "as the
initial version" of the commit message, but in the context of an SCM,
"version" is a loaded word that can needlesslyl confuse readers.

If a remote repo has too many tags (or branches), cloning it over the
smart HTTP transport can fail because remote-curl.c puts all the refs
from the remote repo on the fetch-pack command line. This can make the
command line longer than the global OS command line limit, causing
fetch-pack to fail.
This is especially a problem on Windows where the command line limit is
orders of magnitude shorter than Linux. There are already real repos out
there that msysGit cannot clone over smart HTTP due to this problem.
Here is an easy way to trigger this problem:
git init too-many-refs
cd too-many-refs
echo bla > bla.txt
git add .
git commit -m test
sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
tag=$(perl -e 'print "bla" x 30')
for i in `seq 50000`; do
echo $sha refs/tags/$tag-$i >> .git/packed-refs
done
Then share this repo over the smart HTTP protocol and try cloning it:
$ git clone http://localhost/.../too-many-refs/.git
Cloning into 'too-many-refs'...
fatal: cannot exec 'fetch-pack': Argument list too long
50k tags is obviously an absurd number, but it is required to
demonstrate the problem on Linux because it has a much more generous
command line limit. On Windows the clone fails with as little as 500
tags in the above loop, which is getting uncomfortably close to the
number of tags you might see in real long lived repos.
This is not just theoretical, msysGit is already failing to clone our
company repo due to this. It's a large repo converted from CVS, nearly
10 years of history.
Four possible solutions were discussed on the Git mailing list (in no
particular order):
1) Call fetch-pack multiple times with smaller batches of refs.
This was dismissed as inefficient and inelegant.
2) Add option --refs-fd=$n to pass a an fd from where to read the refs.
This was rejected because inheriting descriptors other than
stdin/stdout/stderr through exec() is apparently problematic on Windows,
plus it would require changes to the run-command API to open extra
pipes.
3) Add option --refs-from=$tmpfile to pass the refs using a temp file.
This was not favored because of the temp file requirement.
4) Add option --stdin to pass the refs on stdin, one per line.
In the end this option was chosen as the most efficient and most
desirable from scripting perspective.
There was however a small complication when using stdin to pass refs to
fetch-pack. The --stateless-rpc option to fetch-pack also uses stdin for
communication with the remote server.
If we are going to sneak refs on stdin line by line, it would have to be
done very carefully in the presence of --stateless-rpc, because when
reading refs line by line we might read ahead too much data into our
buffer and eat some of the remote protocol data which is also coming on
stdin.
One way to solve this would be to refactor get_remote_heads() in
fetch-pack.c to accept a residual buffer from our stdin line parsing
above, but this function is used in several places so other callers
would be burdened by this residual buffer interface even when most of
them don't need it.
In the end we settled on the following solution:
If --stdin is specified without --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read
the refs from stdin one per line, in a script friendly format.
However if --stdin is specified together with --stateless-rpc,
fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin in packetized format
(pkt-line) with a flush packet terminating the list of refs. This way we
can read the exact number of bytes that we need from stdin, and then
get_remote_heads() can continue reading from the same fd without losing
a single byte of remote protocol data.
This way the --stdin option only loses generality and scriptability when
used together with --stateless-rpc, which is not easily scriptable
anyway because it also uses pkt-line when talking to the remote server.

Some distributors customize the fallback pager and editor used by git
commands when the user has not indicated a preference via the
core.editor/core.pager configuration or GIT_EDITOR, GIT_PAGER, VISUAL,
EDITOR, and PAGER environment variables, and git's build system
provides DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR makefile settings to help
them with that (see v1.6.6-rc0~24, 2009-11-20).
Unfortunately those compile-time settings do not affect the
documentation, so the uninitiated user who tries to understand git by
reading the git-var(1) manpage can easily be confused when git falls
back to 'nano' and 'more' instead of 'vi' and 'less'. Even if the
distributor patches the distributed docs to reflect the new default,
the user may read the official documentation from the git-htmldocs
repository online and be confused in the same way.
Add a few words stating that the defaults are customizable at
compile time to make the behavior crystal clear.
