2018-08-10	t5552: suppress upload-pack trace output	Jeff King	1	-5/+18
	The t5552 test script uses GIT_TRACE_PACKET to monitor what git-fetch sends and receives. However, because we're accessing a local repository, the child upload-pack also sends trace output to the same file. On Linux, this works out OK. We open the trace file with O_APPEND, so all writes are atomically positioned at the end of the file. No data can be overwritten or omitted. And since we prepare our small writes in a strbuf and write them with a single write(), we should see each line as an atomic unit. The order of lines between the two processes is undefined, but the test script greps only for "fetch>" or "fetch<" lines. So under Linux, the test results are deterministic. The test fails intermittently on Windows, however, reportedly even overwriting bits of the output file (i.e., O_APPEND does not seem to give us an atomic position+write). Since the test only cares about the trace output from fetch, we can just disable the output from upload-pack. That doesn't solve the greater question of O_APPEND/trace issues under Windows, but it easily fixes the flakiness from this test.

2018-08-01	negotiator: unknown fetch.negotiationAlgorithm should error out	Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	1	-0/+23
	Change the handling of fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=<str> to error out on unknown strings, i.e. everything except "default" or "skipping". This changes the behavior added in 42cc7485a2 ("negotiator/skipping: skip commits during fetch", 2018-07-16) which would ignore all unknown values and silently fall back to the "default" value. For a feature like this it's much better to produce an error than proceed. We don't want users to debug some amazingly slow fetch that should benefit from "skipping", only to find that they'd forgotten to deploy the new git version on that particular machine.

2018-07-16	negotiator/skipping: skip commits during fetch	Jonathan Tan	1	-0/+179
	Introduce a new negotiation algorithm used during fetch that skips commits in an effort to find common ancestors faster. The skips grow similarly to the Fibonacci sequence as the commit walk proceeds further away from the tips. The skips may cause unnecessary commits to be included in the packfile, but the negotiation step typically ends more quickly. Usage of this algorithm is guarded behind the configuration flag fetch.negotiationAlgorithm. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
