Since "git fetch" learned "--all" and "--multiple" options, it has become
tempting for users to say "git pull --all". Even though it may fetch from
remotes that do not need to be fetched from for merging with the current
branch, it is handy.
"git fetch" however clears the list of fetched branches every time it
contacts a different remote. Unless the current branch is configured to
merge with a branch from a remote that happens to be the last in the list
of remotes that are contacted, "git pull" that fetches from multiple
remotes will not be able to find the branch it should be merging with.
Make "fetch" clear FETCH_HEAD (unless --append is given) and then append
the list of branches fetched to it (even when --append is not given). That
way, "pull" will be able to find the data for the branch being merged in
FETCH_HEAD no matter where the remote appears in the list of remotes to be
contacted by "git fetch".

Add the --multiple option to specify that all arguments are either

to allow us to re-implement 'git remote update' using fetch.

'git remote' is meant for managing remotes and 'git fetch' is meant
for actually fetching data from remote repositories. Therefore, it is
not logical that you must use 'git remote update' to fetch from
more than one repository at once.
Add the --all option to 'git fetch', to tell it to attempt to fetch
from all remotes. Also, if --all is not given, the <repository>
argument is allowed to be the name of a group, to allow fetching
from all repositories in the group.
Other options except -v and -q are silently ignored.

When trying to get a list of remote tags to see if we need to fetch
any we were doing a linear search for the matching tag ref for the
tag^{} commit entries. This proves to be incredibly slow for large
numbers of tags. Rewrite the function so that we build up a
string_list of refs to fetch and then process that instead.
As an extreme example, for a repository with 50000 tags (and just a
single commit on a single branch), a fetch that does nothing goes from
~1m50s to ~4.1s.

In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:
- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);
IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,
static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}
and then use it like this:
- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");
Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.
Transformed via this:
perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
$(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

quickfetch() calls rev-list to check whether the objects we are about to
fetch are already present in the repo (if so, we can skip the object fetch).
However, when there are many (~1000) refs to be fetched, the rev-list
command line grows larger than the maximum command line size on some systems
(32K in Windows). This causes rev-list to fail, making quickfetch() return
non-zero, which unnecessarily triggers the transport machinery. This somehow
causes fetch to fail with an exit code.
By using the --stdin option to rev-list (and feeding the object list to its
standard input), we prevent the overflow of the rev-list command line,
which causes quickfetch(), and subsequently the overall fetch, to succeed.
However, using rev-list --stdin is not entirely straightforward: rev-list
terminates immediately when encountering an unknown object, which can
trigger SIGPIPE if we are still writing object's to its standard input.
We therefore temporarily ignore SIGPIPE so that the fetch process is not
terminated.
The patch also contains a testcase to verify the fix (note that before
the patch, the testcase would only fail on msysGit).

user try running "git prune" to remove up any old refs that

advice is useless and misleading.

The fmt-merge-msg does a strong syntax checking of its input and fails
with if it is incorrect. The LF character is the only character
important for fmt-merge-msg. As the url in FETCH_HEAD plays only
informational role, a quoted representation of the url should be good
and true enough.
The url often comes from either user-editable config or command line,
so it is reasonable to expect all kinds of characters in it, including
the characters which the format of FETCH_HEAD considers special (line
separator in this case).

When pulling from a remote, the full URL including username
is by default added to the commit message. Since it adds
very little value but could be used by malicious people to
glean valid usernames (with matching hostnames), we're far
better off just stripping the username before storing the
remote URL locally.
Note that this patch has no lasting visible effect when
"git pull" does not create a merge commit. It simply

When there's no explicitly-named remote, we use the remote specified
for the current branch, which in turn defaults to "origin". But it
this case should require the remote to actually be configured, and not
fall back to the path "origin".
Possibly, the config file's "remote = something" should require the
something to be a configured remote instead of a bare repository URL,
but we actually test with a bare repository URL.
In fetch, we were giving the sensible error message when coming up
with a URL failed, but this wasn't actually reachable, so move that
error up and use it when appropriate.
In push, we need a new error message, because the old one (formerly
unreachable without a lot of help) used the repo name, which was NULL.

checked a variety of death-dealing signals.
This patch factors out those signals to a single function,

this is a simple clean up. For others, it is an improvement
in that they will now properly clean themselves up after a

If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting
(e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual
strategy was to install a signal handler that did something
like this:
do_cleanup(); /* actual work */
signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */
raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */
For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want
to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem.
The most recently installed handler will run, but when it
removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first
handler.
This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling
a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler,
and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in
the stack.

Some confusing tutorials suggested that it would be a good idea to fetch
into the current branch with something like this:
git fetch origin master:master
(or even worse: the same command line with "pull" instead of "fetch").
While it might make sense to store what you want to pull, it typically is
plain wrong when the current branch is "master". This should only be
allowed when (an incorrect) "git pull origin master:master" tries to work
around by giving --update-head-ok to underlying "git fetch", and otherwise
we should refuse it, but somewhere along the lines we lost that behavior.
The check for the current branch is now _only_ performed in non-bare
repositories, which is an improvement from the original behaviour.
Some newer tests were depending on the broken behaviour of "git fetch"
this patch fixes, and have been adjusted.

There are basically two categories of update failures for
local refs:
1. problems outside of git, like disk full, bad

2. D/F conflicts on tracking branch ref names
In either case, there should already have been an error
message. In case '1', hopefully enough information has
already been given that the user can fix it. In the case of
'2', we can hint that the user can clean up their tracking
branch area by using 'git remote prune'.
Note that we don't actually know _which_ case we have, so
the user will receive the hint in case 1, as well. In this

Previously, if there was an error while storing a local
tracking ref, the low-level functions would report an error,
but fetch's status output wouldn't indicate any problem.
E.g., imagine you have an old "refs/remotes/origin/foo/bar" but
upstream has deleted "foo/bar" in favor of a new branch
"foo". You would get output like this:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
* [new branch] foo -> origin/foo
With this patch, the output takes into account the status of

error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
! [new branch] foo -> origin/foo (unable to update local ref)
