When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color
support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a
tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a
tty, we must check whether it is because we started the
pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use
variable.
This variable was set only when the git program being run
started the pager; there was no way for an external program
running git indicate that it had already started a pager.
This patch allows a program to set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE to a
true value to indicate that even though stdout is not a tty,
it is because a pager is being used.

The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer
control per path.
For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:
frotz whitespace
nitfol -whitespace
xyzzy whitespace=-trailing
all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:
*.c whitespace
*.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab
in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle
the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is
the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than
git-add and git-status.
* git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by
default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files.
The calling scripts established the convention to use
.git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile.
* git-add and git-status know about it because they call
add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of
which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a
stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time
the definition of the standard set of ignore files is
changed.
* git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was
because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
files.
* git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore
and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not
honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not
know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either.
We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set
when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore
processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a
change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle
way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change.
On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.
This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.
The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets
you specify the definition of "whitespace error".
Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined:
* trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line.
* space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the
indent part of the line.
You can specify the desired types of errors to be detected by
listing their names (unique abbreviations are accepted)
separated by comma. By default, these two errors are always
detected, as that is the traditional behaviour. You can disable
detection of a particular type of error by prefixing a '-' in
front of the name of the error, like this:
[core]
whitespace = -trailing-space
This patch teaches the code to output colored diff with
DIFF_WHITESPACE color to highlight the detected whitespace
errors to honor the new configuration.

The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.
For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status". Now it works.
Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?
IOW it is allowed to call
$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla
when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.
Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.
The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:
--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.
In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using
C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not
handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother).
The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this
purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote
and backslash.
However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit
range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because
we were being cautious.
This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and
core.quotepath configuration variable to control it. When set

Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.
Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level".
Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.
Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes, since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.
In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.

Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.
Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.

the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to

The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.
We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.
On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.
We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.
Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a
[core]
AutoCRLF = true
in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).
But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:
- "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
- "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
- "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF
and things work fine.
Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:
git clone -n git test-crlf
cd test-crlf
git config core.autocrlf true
git checkout
git diff
shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.
Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).
I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.

The patches to prevent Porcelainish that require working tree
from doing any damage in a bare repository make a lot of sense,
and I want to make the is_bare_git_dir() function more reliable.
In order to allow the repository owner override the heuristic
implemented in is_bare_git_dir() if/when it misidentifies a
particular repository, it would make sense to introduce a new
configuration variable "[core] bare = true/false", and make
is_bare_git_dir() notice it.
The scripts would do a 'repo-config --bool --get core.bare' and
iff the command fails (i.e. there is no such variable in the
configuration file), it would use the heuristic implemented at
the script level [*1*].
However, setup_git_env() which is called a lot earlier than we
even read from the repository configuration currently makes a
call to is_bare_git_dir(), in order to change the default
setting for log_all_ref_updates. It somehow feels that this is
a hack.
By the way, [*1*] is another thing I hate about the current
config mechanism. "git-repo-config --get" does not know what
the possible configuration variables are, let alone what the
default values for them are. It allows us not to maintain a
centralized configuration table, which makes it easy to
introduce ad-hoc variables and gives a warm fuzzy feeling of
being modular, but my feeling is that it is turning out to be a
rather high price to pay for scripts.

This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.
We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.
In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.
I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing. We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

and the capabilities of their operating system.
In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level

New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).
So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:
[core]
logAllRefUpdates = false
in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.
We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.

When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

If the config variable 'core.sharedrepository' is set, the directories
$GIT_DIR/objects/
$GIT_DIR/objects/??
$GIT_DIR/objects/pack
$GIT_DIR/refs
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/tags
are set group writable (and g+s, since the git group may be not the primary
group of all users).
Since all files are written as lock files first, and then moved to
their destination, they do not have to be group writable. Indeed, if
this leads to problems you found a bug.
Note that -- as in my first attempt -- the config variable is set in the
function which checks the repository format. If this were done in
git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified
to call git_config(git_default_config) first.
[jc: git variables should be in environment.c unless there is a
compelling reason to do otherwise.]

This is to hold what the project-local rule as to the
charset/encoding for the commit log message is. Lack of it
defaults to utf-8.

This allows you to force git to avoid symlinks for refs. Just add
something like
[core]
symrefsonly = true
to .git/config.
Don´t forget to "git checkout your_branch", or it does not do anything...

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.
