A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects. The request has been
optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
no blobs are needed.

Unlike "grep", "git grep" by default recurses to the whole tree.
The command learned "git grep --recursive" option, so that "git

"git help -a" and "git help -av" give different pieces of
information, and generally the "verbose" version is more friendly
to the new users. "git help -a" by default now uses the more

original). Also "git help -av" now lists aliases and external
commands, which it did not used to.

Add support for a new index.threads config setting which will be used to
control the threading code in do_read_index(). A value of 0 will tell the
index code to automatically determine the correct number of threads to use.
A value of 1 will make the code single threaded. A value greater than 1
will set the maximum number of threads to use.
For testing purposes, this setting can be overwritten by setting the
GIT_TEST_INDEX_THREADS=<n> environment variable to a value greater than 0.

The End of Index Entry (EOIE) is used to locate the end of the variable
length index entries and the beginning of the extensions. Code can take
advantage of this to quickly locate the index extensions without having
to parse through all of the index entries.
The EOIE extension is always written out to the index file including to
the shared index when using the split index feature. Because it is always
written out, the SHA checksums in t/t1700-split-index.sh were updated
to reflect its inclusion.
It is written as an optional extension to ensure compatibility with other
git implementations that do not yet support it. It is always written out
to ensure it is available as often as possible to speed up index operations.
Because it must be able to be loaded before the variable length cache
entries and other index extensions, this extension must be written last.
The signature for this extension is { 'E', 'O', 'I', 'E' }.
The extension consists of:
- 32-bit offset to the end of the index entries
- 160-bit SHA-1 over the extension types and their sizes (but not
their contents). E.g. if we have "TREE" extension that is N-bytes
long, "REUC" extension that is M-bytes long, followed by "EOIE",
then the hash would be:
SHA-1("TREE" + <binary representation of N> +
"REUC" + <binary representation of M>)

It is a common mistake to put positional arguments before flags when
invoking git-rev-list. Order the positional arguments last.
This patch skips git-rev-list invocations which include the --not flag,
since the ordering of flags and positional arguments affects the
behavior. This patch also skips invocations of git-rev-list that occur
in command substitution in which the exit code is discarded, since
fixing those properly will require a more involved cleanup.

'git ... | foo' will mask any errors or crashes in git, so split up such
pipes in this file.
One testcase uses several separate pipe sequences in a row which are

awkwardness is not repeated. Also change that testcase's surrounding

Instead of using a line-continuation and pipe on the second line, take
advantage of the shell's implicit line continuation after a pipe
character. So for example, instead of
some long line \
| next line
use
some long line |
next line
And add a blank line before and after the pipe where it aids readability
(it usually does).
This better matches the coding style documented in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines and used in shell scripts elsewhere in

The list of Don'ts for test writing has grown large such that it is hard
to see at a glance which section an item is in. In other words, if I
ignore a little bit of surrounding context, the "don'ts" look like
"do's."
To make the list more readable, prefix "Don't" in front of every first
sentence in the items.
Also, the "Keep in mind" list is out of place and awkward, because it
was a very short "list" beneath two very long ones, and it seemed easy
to miss under the list of "don'ts," and it only had one item. So move
this item to the list of "do's" and phrase as "Remember..."

A partial clone with missing trees can be obtained using "git clone
--filter=tree:none <repo>". In such a repository, when a tree needs to
be lazily fetched, any tree or blob it directly or indirectly references
is fetched as well, regardless of whether the original command required
those objects, or if the local repository already had some of them.
This is because the fetch protocol, which the lazy fetch uses, does not
allow clients to request that only the wanted objects be sent, which
would be the ideal solution. This patch implements a partial solution:
specify the "blob:none" filter, somewhat reducing the fetch payload.
This change has no effect when lazily fetching blobs (due to how filters
work). And if lazily fetching a commit (such repositories are difficult
to construct and is not a use case we support very well, but it is
possible), referenced commits and trees are still fetched - only the
blobs are not fetched.
The necessary code change is done in fetch_pack() instead of somewhere
closer to where the "filter" instruction is written to the wire so that
only one part of the code needs to be changed in order for users of all
protocol versions to benefit from this optimization.

Recognize -r and --recursive as synonyms for --max-depth=-1 for
compatibility with GNU grep; it's still the default for git grep.
This also adds --no-recursive as synonym for --max-depth=0 for free,
which is welcome for completeness and consistency.
Fix the description for --max-depth, while we're at it -- negative
values other than -1 actually disable recursion, i.e. they are
equivalent to --max-depth=0.

When you type "git help" (or just "git") you are greeted with a list
with commonly used commands and their short description and are
suggested to use "git help -a" or "git help -g" for more details.
"git help -av" would be more friendly and inline with what is shown
with "git help" since it shows list of commands with description as
well, and commands are properly grouped.
"help -av" does not show everything "help -a" shows though. Add
external command section in "help -av" for this. While at there, add a
section for aliases as well (until now aliases have no UI, just "git
config").

Invoking 'git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree' exits with
"fatal: BUG: returned path string doesn't match cwd?"
when the superproject has an unmerged entry for the current submodule,
instead of displaying the superproject's working tree.
The problem is due to the fact that when a merge of the submodule reference
is in progress, "git ls-files --stage —full-name <submodule-relative-path>”
returns three seperate entries for the submodule (one for each stage) rather
than a single entry; e.g.,
$ git ls-files --stage --full-name submodule-child-test
160000 dbbd2766fa330fa741ea59bb38689fcc2d283ac5 1 submodule-child-test

Instead of running `test "foo" = "$(bar)"`, we prefix the whole thing
with `echo`. Comparing to nearby tests makes it clear that this is just
debug leftover. This line has actually been modified four times since it
was introduced in e52290428b (General ref log reading improvements.,
2006-05-19) and the `echo` has always survived. Let's finally drop it.
This script could need some more cleanups. This is just an immediate fix
so that we actually test what we intend to.
All other hits for `git grep "\<echo test " -- t/` seem fine. They want
to create some input or expected output data.

The test framework test-lib.sh itself would want to give warnings
and hints, e.g. when it sees a deprecated environment variable is in
use that we want to encourage users to migrate to another variable.
The self-test of test framework done in t0000 however do not expect
to see these warnings and hints, so depending on the settings of
environment variables, a running test may or may not produce these
messages to the standard error output, breaking the expectations of
self-test test framework does on itself. Here is what we see:
$ TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION=4 sh t0000-basic.sh -i -v
...
'err' is not empty, it contains:
warning: TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION is now GIT_TEST_INDEX_VERSION
hint: set GIT_TEST_INDEX_VERSION too during the transition period
not ok 5 - pretend we have a fully passing test suite
The following quick attempt to work it around does not work, because
some tests in t0000 do want to see expected errors from the test
framework itself.

There are a few possible ways to work this around:
* We could strip the warning: and hint: unconditionally from the
error output before the error messages are checked in the
self-test (helper functions check_sub_test_lib_test_err and
check_sub_test_lib_test); the problem with this approach is that
it will make it impossible to write self-tests to ensure that
right warnings and hints are given.
* We could force a sane environment settings before the test helper
_run_sub_test_lib_test_common dot-sources test-lib.sh; the
problem with this approach is that _run_sub_test_lib_test_common
now needs to be aware of what pairs of environment variables are
checked in test-lib.sh using check_var_migration helper.
The final patch I came up with is probably the solution that is
least bad. Set a variable to tell test-lib.sh that we are running
a self-test, so that various pieces in test-lib.sh can react to keep
the output stable.

builtin/commit.c:prepare_to_commit() can call run_status() twice if
using the editor, including status, and the user attempts to record a
non-merge empty commit without explicit --allow-empty. If there is also
a rename involved as well (due to using 'git add -N'), then a BUG in
wt-status.c is triggered:
BUG: wt-status.c:476: multiple renames on the same target? how?
The reason we hit this bug is that both run_status() calls use the same
struct wt_status * (named s), and s->change is not freed between runs.
Changes are inserted into s with string_list_insert, which usually means
that the second run just recomputes all the same results and overwrites
what was computed the first time. However, ever since commit
176ea7479309 ("wt-status.c: handle worktree renames", 2017-12-27),
wt-status started checking for renames and copies but also added a
preventative check that d->rename_status wasn't already set and output a
BUG message if it was. The problem isn't that there are multiple rename
targets to a single path as the error implies, the problem is that 's'
is not freed/cleared between the two run_status() calls.
Ever since commit dc6b1d92ca9c ("wt-status: use settings from
git_diff_ui_config", 2018-05-04), which stopped hardcoding
DIFF_DETECT_RENAME and allowed users to ask for copy detection, this bug
has also been triggerable with a copy instead of a rename.
Fix the bug by clearing s->change. A better change might be to clean up
all of s between the two run_status() calls. A good first step towards
such a goal might be writing a function to free the necessary fields in
the wt_status * struct; a cursory glance at the code suggests all of its
allocated data is probably leaked. However, doing all that cleanup is a
bigger task for someone else interested to tackle; just fix the bug for
now.

As with urls, submodule paths with dashes are ignored by
git, but may end up confusing older versions. Detecting them
via fsck lets us prevent modern versions of git from being a
vector to spread broken .gitmodules to older versions.
Compared to blocking leading-dash urls, though, this
detection may be less of a good idea:
1. While such paths provide confusing and broken results,
they don't seem to actually work as option injections
against anything except "cd". In particular, the
submodule code seems to canonicalize to an absolute
path before running "git clone" (so it passes
/your/clone/-sub).
2. It's more likely that we may one day make such names
actually work correctly. Even after we revert this fsck
check, it will continue to be a hassle until hosting
servers are all updated.
On the other hand, it's not entirely clear that the behavior
in older versions is safe. And if we do want to eventually
allow this, we may end up doing so with a special syntax
anyway (e.g., writing "./-sub" in the .gitmodules file, and
teaching the submodule code to canonicalize it when
comparing).
So on balance, this is probably a good protection.

Urls with leading dashes can cause mischief on older
versions of Git. We should detect them so that they can be
rejected by receive.fsckObjects, preventing modern versions
of git from being a vector by which attacks can spread.

We recently banned submodule urls that look like
command-line options. This is the matching change to ban
leading-dash paths.
As with the urls, this should not break any use cases that
currently work. Even with our "--" separator passed to
git-clone, git-submodule.sh gets confused. Without the code
portion of this patch, the clone of "-sub" added in t7417
would yield results like:
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
Fetched in submodule path '-sub', but it did not contain b56243f8f4eb91b2f1f8109452e659f14dd3fbe4. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
Moreover, naively adding such a submodule doesn't work:
$ git submodule add $url -sub
The following path is ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
-sub
even though there is no such ignore pattern (the test script
hacks around this with a well-placed "git mv").
Unlike leading-dash urls, though, it's possible that such a
path _could_ be useful if we eventually made it work. So
this commit should be seen not as recommending a particular
policy, but rather temporarily closing off a broken and
possibly dangerous code-path. We may revisit this decision
later.
There are two minor differences to the tests in t7416 (that
covered urls):
1. We don't have a "./-sub" escape hatch to make this
work, since the submodule code expects to be able to
match canonical index names to the path field (so you
are free to add submodule config with that path, but we
would never actually use it, since an index entry would
never start with "./").
2. After this patch, cloning actually succeeds. Since we
ignore the submodule.*.path value, we fail to find a
config stanza for our submodule at all, and simply
treat it as inactive. We still check for the "ignoring"
message.
