2020-04-05pull doc: correct outdated description of an exampleLibravatar Philippe Blain1-3/+3
Since f269048754 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs, 2013-05-11), the underlying `git fetch` in `git pull <remote> <branch>` updates the configured remote-tracking branch for <branch>. However, an example in the 'Examples' section of the `git pull` documentation still states that this is not the case. Correct the description of this example.

In the given example, `commit` cannot be `NULL` (because this is the loop condition: if it was `NULL`, the loop body would not be entered at all). It took this developer a moment or two to see that this is therefore dead code. Let's remove it, to avoid puzzling future readers.

2020-03-30docs: add a FAQLibravatar brian m. carlson2-0/+338
Git is an enormously flexible and powerful piece of software. However, it can be intimidating for many users and there are a set of common questions that users often ask. While we already have some new user documentation, it's worth adding a FAQ to address common questions that users often have. Even though some of this is addressed elsewhere in the documentation, experience has shown that it is difficult for users to find, so a centralized location is helpful. Add such a FAQ and fill it with some common questions and answers. While there are few entries now, we can expand it in the future to cover more things as we find new questions that users have. Let's also add section markers so that people answering questions can directly link users to the proper answer. The FAQ also addresses common configuration questions that apply not only to Git as an independent piece of software but also the ecosystem of CI tools and hosting providers that people use, since these are the source of common questions. An attempt has been made to avoid mentioning any particular provider or tool, but to nevertheless cover common configurations that apply to a wide variety of such tools. Note that the long lines for certain questions are required, since Asciidoctor does not permit broken lines there.

2020-03-29Merge branch 'ds/default-pack-use-sparse-to-true'Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-9/+8
The 'pack.useSparse' configuration variable now defaults to 'true', enabling an optimization that has been experimental since Git 2.21. * ds/default-pack-use-sparse-to-true: pack-objects: flip the use of GIT_TEST_PACK_SPARSE config: set pack.useSparse=true by default
2020-03-29CodingGuidelines: allow ${#posix} == strlen($posix)Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+0
The construct has been in POSIX for the past 10+ years, and we have used in t9xxx (subversion) series of the tests, so we know it is at portable across systems that people have run those tests, which is almost everything we'd care about. Let's loosen the rule; luckily, the check-non-portable-shell script does not have any rule to find its use, so the only change needed is a removal of one paragraph from the documentation.

'git pull' implicitly passes --update-head-ok to 'git fetch', but doesn't itself accept that option from users. That makes sense, as it wouldn't work without the possibility to update HEAD.

2020-03-23trace2: teach Git to log environment variablesLibravatar Josh Steadmon2-1/+11
Via trace2, Git can already log interesting config parameters (see the trace2_cmd_list_config() function). However, this can grant an incomplete picture because many config parameters also allow overrides via environment variables. To allow for more complete logs, we add a new trace2_cmd_list_env_vars() function and supporting implementation, modeled after the pre-existing config param logging implementation.

2020-03-22clone: document --filter optionsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+12
It turns out that the "--filter=<filter-spec>" option is not documented anywhere in the "git clone" page, and instead is detailed carefully in "git rev-list" where it serves a different purpose. Add a small bit about this option in the documentation. It would be worth some time to create a subsection in the "git clone" documentation about partial clone as a concept and how it can be a surprising experience. For example, "git checkout" will likely trigger a pack download. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-03-20config: set pack.useSparse=true by defaultLibravatar Derrick Stolee3-9/+8
The pack.useSparse config option was introduced by 3d036eb0 (pack-objects: create pack.useSparse setting, 2019-01-19) and was first available in v2.21.0. When enabled, the pack-objects process during 'git push' will use a sparse tree walk when deciding which trees and blobs to send to the remote. The algorithm was introduced by d5d2e93 (revision: implement sparse algorithm, 2019-01-16) and has been in production use by VFS for Git since around that time. The features.experimental config option also enabled pack.useSparse, so hopefully that has also increased exposure. It is worth noting that pack.useSparse has a possibility of sending more objects across a push, but requires a special arrangement of exact _copies_ across directories. There is a test in t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh that demonstrates this possibility. This test uses the --sparse option to "git pack-objects" but we can make it implied by the config value to demonstrate that the default value has changed. While updating that test, I noticed that the documentation did not include an option for --no-sparse, which is now more important than it was before. Since the downside is unlikely but the upside is significant, set the default value of pack.useSparse to true. Remove it from the set of options implied by features.experimental.
