When we are asked to peel a ref to a sha1, we internally call
deref_tag, which will recursively parse each tagged object
until we reach a non-tag. This has the benefit that we will
verify our ability to load and parse the pointed-to object.
However, there is a performance downside: we may not need to
load that object at all (e.g., if we are listing peeled
simply listing peeled refs), or it may be a large object
that should follow a streaming code path (e.g., an annotated
tag of a large blob).
It makes more sense for peel_ref to choose the fast thing
rather than performing the extra check, for two reasons:
1. We will already sometimes short-circuit the tag parsing
in favor of a peeled entry from a packed-refs file. So
we are already favoring speed in some cases, and it is
not wise for a caller to rely on peel_ref to detect
corruption.
2. We already silently ignore much larger corruptions,
like a ref that points to a non-existent object, or a
tag object that exists but is corrupted.
2. peel_ref is not the right place to check for such a
database corruption. It is returning only the sha1
anyway, not the actual object. Any callers which use
that sha1 to load an object will soon discover the
corruption anyway, so we are really just pushing back
the discovery to later in the program.

submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a

that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.
$ git submodule show
error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.
Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than
promoting laziness and confusion.

Enable info/refs gzip decompression in HTTP client
Some HTTP servers try to use gzip compression on the /info/refs
request to save transfer bandwidth. Repositories with many tags
may find the /info/refs request can be gzipped to be 50% of the
original size due to the few but often repeated bytes used (hex
SHA-1 and commonly digits in tag names).
For most HTTP requests enable "Accept-Encoding: gzip" ensuring
the /info/refs payload can use this encoding format.
Only request gzip encoding from servers. Although deflate is
supported by libcurl, most servers have standardized on gzip
encoding for compression as that is what most browsers support.
Asking for deflate increases request sizes by a few bytes, but is
unlikely to ever be used by a server.
Disable the Accept-Encoding header on probe RPCs as response bodies
are supposed to be exactly 4 bytes long, "0000". The HTTP headers
requesting and indicating compression use more space than the data
transferred in the body.

Retrying without the query parameter was added as a workaround
for a single broken HTTP server at git.debian.org[1]. The server
was misconfigured to route every request with a query parameter
into gitweb.cgi. Admins fixed the server's configuration within
16 hours of the bug report to the Git mailing list, but we still
patched Git with this fallback and have been paying for it since.
Most Git hosting services configure the smart HTTP protocol and the
retry logic confuses users when there is a transient HTTP error as
Git dropped the real error from the smart HTTP request. Removing the
retry makes root causes easier to identify.
As reported by Jeroen Meijer[1]; the current code doesn't deal properly
with items (tags, branches, etc.) that have ${} in them because they get
expaned by bash while using compgen.
A simple solution is to quote the items so they get expanded properly
(\$\{\}).
In order to achieve that I took bash-completion's quote() function,
which is rather simple, and renamed it to __git_quote() as per Jeff
King's suggestion.

log --grep/--author: honor --all-match honored for multiple --grep patterns
When we have both header expression (which has to be an OR node by
construction) and a pattern expression (which could be anything), we
create a new top-level OR node to bind them together, and the
resulting expression structure looks like this:
OR
/ \
/ \
pattern OR
/ \ / \
..... committer OR
/ \
author TRUE
The three elements on the top-level backbone that are inspected by
the "all-match" logic are "pattern", "committer" and "author". When
there are more than one elements in the "pattern", the top-level
node of the "pattern" part of the subtree is an OR, and that node is
inspected by "all-match".
The result ends up ignoring the "--all-match" given from the command
line. A match on either side of the pattern is considered a match,
hence:
git log --grep=A --grep=B --author=C --all-match
shows the same "authored by C and has either A or B" that is correct
only when run without "--all-match".
Fix this by turning the resulting expression around when "--all-match"
is in effect, like this:
OR
/ \
/ \
/ OR
committer / \
author \
pattern
The set of nodes on the top-level backbone in the resulting
expression becomes "committer", "author", and the nodes that are on
the top-level backbone of the "pattern" subexpression. This makes
the "all-match" logic inspect the same nodes in "pattern" as the
case without the author and/or the committer restriction, and makes
the earlier "log" example to show "authored by C and has A and has
B", which is what the command line expects.
When threaded grep is in effect, the patterns are duplicated and
recompiled for each thread. Avoid "--debug" output during the
recompilation so that the output is given once instead of "1+nthreads"
times.

Our "grep" allows complex boolean expressions to be formed to match
each individual line with operators like --and, '(', ')' and --not.
Introduce the "--debug" option to show the parse tree to help people
who want to debug and enhance it.
Also "log" learns "--grep-debug" option to do the same. The command
line parser to the log family is a lot more limited than the general
"git grep" parser, but it has special handling for header matching
(e.g. "--author"), and a parse tree is valuable when working on it.
Note that "--all-match" is *not* any individual node in the parse
tree. It is an instruction to the evaluator to check all the nodes
in the top-level backbone have matched and reject a document as
non-matching otherwise.
This reverts the i18n part of 7f81463 (Use correct grammar in diffstat

attr: failure to open a .gitattributes file is OK with ENOTDIR
Often we consult an in-tree .gitattributes file that exists per
directory. Majority of directories do not usually have such a file,
and it is perfectly fine if we cannot open it because there is no
such file, but we do want to know when there is an I/O or permission
error. Earlier, we made the codepath warn when we fail to open it
for reasons other than ENOENT for that reason.
We however sometimes have to attempt to open the .gitattributes file
from a directory that does not exist in the commit that is currently
checked out. "git pack-objects" wants to know if a path is marked
with "-delta" attributes, and "git archive" wants to know about
export-ignore and export-subst attributes. Both commands may and do
need to ask the attributes system about paths in an arbitrary
commit. "git diff", after removing an entire directory, may want to
know textconv on paths that used to be in that directory.
Make sure we also ignore a failure to open per-directory attributes
file due to ENOTDIR.
The discussion of email subject throughout the documentation is
misleading; it indicates that the first line will always become
the subject. In fact, the subject is generally all lines up until
the first full blank line.
This patch refines that, and makes more use of the concept of a
commit title, with the title being all text up to the first blank line.

"git blame file" has always meant "find the origin of each line of

This teaches "git blame" that during a conflicted merge, some

The verify_working_tree_path() function introduced in the previous
patch to notice a typo in the filename (primarily on case insensitive
filesystems) has been updated to allow a filename that does not exist
in HEAD (i.e. the tip of our history) as long as it exists one of the
