Some reimplementations of Git does not write all the stat info back
to the index due to their implementation limitations (e.g. jgit
running on Java). A configuration option can tell Git to ignore
changes to most of the stat fields and only pay attention to mtime
and size, which these implementations can reliably update. This
avoids excessive revalidation of contents.

that come earlier on the command line must not be interpretable as
pathspecs and pathspecs that come later on the command line must

interpreted as a pathspec, to avoid having to say "git cmd -- :/".

Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate
tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their
scope. A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u'
and 'git add -A'. When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they
operate only on paths in the current directory.
The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly
problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p'
and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default. It also means that "git
add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from
what is recorded with "git commit -a".
Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training
users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to
prepare for the next steps:
* forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without
option)
* much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that
will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide.
A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic
pathspec easier to discover for users.
When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no
ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.

When we look up a sha1 object for reading via parse_object() =>
read_sha1_file() => read_object() callpath, we first check
packfiles, and then loose objects. If we still haven't found it, we
re-scan the list of packfiles in `objects/pack`. This final step
ensures that we can co-exist with a simultaneous repack process
which creates a new pack and then prunes the old object.
This extra re-scan usually does not have a performance impact for
two reasons:
1. If an object is missing, then typically the re-scan will find a
new pack, then no more misses will occur. Or if it truly is
missing, then our next step is usually to die().
2. Re-scanning is cheap enough that we do not even notice.
However, these do not always hold. The assumption in (1) is that the
caller is expecting to find the object. This is usually the case,
but the call to `parse_object` in `everything_local` does not follow
this pattern. It is looking to see whether we have objects that the
remote side is advertising, not something we expect to
have. Therefore if we are fetching from a remote which has many refs
pointing to objects we do not have, we may end up re-scanning the
pack directory many times.
Even with this extra re-scanning, the impact is often not noticeable
due to (2); we just readdir() the packs directory and skip any packs
that are already loaded. However, if there are a large number of
packs, even enumerating the directory can be expensive, especially
if we do it repeatedly.
Having this many packs is a good sign the user should run `git gc`,
but it would still be nice to avoid having to scan the directory at
all.

We generally try to run "gc --auto" after any commands that
might introduce a large number of new objects. An obvious
place to do so is after running "fetch", which may introduce
new loose objects or packs (depending on the size of the
fetch).
While an active developer repository will probably
eventually trigger a "gc --auto" on another action (e.g.,
git-rebase), there are two good reasons why it is nicer to
do it at fetch time:
1. Read-only repositories which track an upstream (e.g., a
continuous integration server which fetches and builds,
but never makes new commits) will accrue loose objects
and small packs, but never coalesce them into a more
efficient larger pack.
2. Fetching is often already perceived to be slow to the
user, since they have to wait on the network. It's much
more pleasant to include a potentially slow auto-gc as
part of the already-long network fetch than in the
middle of productive work with git-rebase or similar.

push: finishing touches to explain REJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS better
Now that "already exists" errors are given only when a push tries to
update an existing ref in refs/tags/ hierarchy, we can say "the
tag", instead of "the destination reference", and that is far easier
to understand.
When you have random build artifacts in your build directory, left
behind by running "make" while on another branch, the "git help -a"
command run by __git_list_all_commands in the completion script that
is being tested does not have a way to know that they are not part
of the subcommands this build will ship. Such extra subcommands may
come from the user's $PATH. They will interfere with the tests that
expect a certain prefix to uniquely expand to a known completion.
Instrument the completion script and give it a way for us to tell
what (subset of) subcommands we are going to ship.
Also add a test to "git --help <prefix><TAB>" expansion. It needs
to show not just commands but some selected documentation pages.
push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.
push: further simplify the logic to assign rejection reason
First compute the reason why this push would fail if done without
"--force", and then fail it by assigning that reason when the push
was not forced (or if there is no reason to require force, allow it
to succeed).
Record the fact that the push was forced in the forced_update field
only when the push would have failed without the option.
The code becomes shorter, less repetitive and easier to read this
way, especially given that the set of rejection reasons will be
extended in a later patch.
The "nonfastforward" and "update" fields are only used while
deciding what value to assign to the "status" locally in a single
function. Remove them from the "struct ref".
The "requires_force" field is not used to decide if the proposed
update requires a --force option to succeed, or to record such a
decision made elsewhere. It is used by status reporting code that
the particular update was "forced". Rename it to "forced_update",
and move the code to assign to it around to further clarify how it
is used and what it is used for.
git-cvsimport relies on version 2 of cvsps and does not work with the
new version 3. Since cvsps 3.x does not currently work as well as
version 2 for incremental import, document this fact.
Specifically, there is no way to make new git-cvsimport that supports
cvsps 3.x and have a seamless transition for existing users since cvsps
3.x needs a time from which to continue importing and git-cvsimport does
not save the time of the last import or import into a specific namespace
so there is no safe way to calculate the time of the last import.

We keep a strbuf for the name of the submodule, even though

easier to follow what is going on.
Unfortunately, we still end up having to deal with some
memory ownership issues in some code branches, as we have to
allocate the string in order to do a string list lookup, and
then only sometimes want to hand ownership of that string
over to the string_list. Still, making that explicit in the
code (as opposed to sometimes detaching the strbuf, and then
always releasing it) makes it a little more obvious what is

When we parse userdiff config, we generally assume that
diff.name.key
will affect the "key" value of the "name" driver. However,
without confirming that the key is a valid userdiff key, we
may accidentally conflict with the ancient "diff.color.*"
namespace. The current code is careful not to even create a
driver struct if we do not see a key that is known by the
diff-driver code.
However, this carefulness is unnecessary; the default driver
with no keys set behaves exactly the same as having no
driver at all. We can simply set up the driver struct as
soon as we see we have a config key that looks like a
driver. This makes the code a bit more readable.

Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.
Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.
This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

Currently we see ":/abc" as a rev (most of the time), but never see it
as a pathspec even if "abc" exists and "git log :/abc" will gladly

- ambiguous when "abc" exists on worktree
- a rev if abc does not exist on worktree
- a path if abc is not found in any commits (although better use
"--" to avoid ambiguation because searching through commit DAG is
expensive)
A plus from this patch is, because ":/" never matches anything as a
rev, it is never considered a valid rev and because root directory
always exists, ":/" is always unambiguously seen as a pathspec.
