the bundle records that it requires v2.6.20^0 commit (correct)
and gives you tag v2.6.22 (incorrect); the bug is that the
object it lists in fact is the commit v2.6.22^0, not the tag.
This is because the revision range operation .. is always about
set of commits, but the code near where my patch touches does
not validate that the sha1 value obtained from dwim_ref()
against the commit object name e->item->sha1 before placing the
head information in the commit.
While "git bundle" was a useful way to sneakernet incremental
changes, we did not allow:
$ git bundle create v2.6.20.bndl v2.6.20
to create a bundle that contains the whole history to a
well-known good revision. Such a bundle can be mirrored
everywhere, and people can prime their repository with it to
reduce the load on the repository that serves near the tip of
the development.
This trivially optimizes the two-way merge case of git-read-tree too,
which affects switching branches.
When you have tons and tons of files in your repository, but there are
only small differences in the branches (maybe just a couple of files
changed), the biggest cost of the branch switching was actually just the
index calculations.
This fixes it (timings for switching between the "testing" and "master"
branches in the 100,000 file testing-repo-from-hell, where the branches
only differ in one small file).

so it's easily an order of magnitude different.
This concludes the series. I think we could/should do the three-way merge
too (to speed up merges), but I'm lazy. Somebody else can do it.
The rule is very simple: you need to remove the old entry if:
- you want to remove the file entirely
- you replace it with a "merge conflict" entry (ie a non-stage-0 entry)
and you can avoid removing it if you either
- keep the old one
- or resolve it to a new one.
and these rules should all be valid for the three-way case too.

This optimizes bind_merge() and oneway_merge() to not unnecessarily
remove and re-add the old index entries when they can just get replaced
by updated ones.
This makes these operations much faster for large trees (where "large"
is in the 50,000+ file range), because we don't unnecessarily move index
entries around in the index array all the time.
Using the "bummer" tree (a test-tree with 100,000 files) we get:

The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to
run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by
git-runstatus to run_diff_index()). The function vacates stage
without any funky "merge" magic. The caller then goes and
compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries
from the original index.
When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general
purpose add_cache_entry(). This function looks for an existing
entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the
new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things.
For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of
that processing is needed. We can instead append everything and
then sort the result at the end.
This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is
no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the
case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag
(new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort().
This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks
such as "Does this path already exist? Does adding this path
remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a
file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the
end of the active cache. The caller of course is expected to
sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result.
This doesn't actually change any real code, but it changes the interface
to unpack_trees() to take an array of "struct tree_desc" entries, the same
way the tree-walk.c functions do.
The reason for this is that we would be much better off if we can do the
tree-unpacking using the generic "traverse_trees()" functionality instead
of having to the special "unpack" infrastructure.
This really is a pretty minimal diff, just to change the calling
convention. It passes all the tests, and looks sane. There were only two
users of "unpack_trees()": builtin-read-tree and merge-recursive, and I
tried to keep the changes minimal.

Teach the update-paranoid to look at file differences
In some applications of the update hook a user may be allowed to
modify a branch, but only if the file level difference is also an
allowed change. This is the commonly requested feature of allowing
users to modify only certain files.
A new repository.*.allow syntax permits granting the three basic
file level operations:
A: file is added relative to the other tree
M: file exists in both trees, but its SHA-1 or mode differs
D: file is removed relative to the other tree
on a per-branch and path-name basis. The user must also have a
branch level allow line already granting them access to create,
rewind or update (CRU) that branch before the hook will consult
any file level rules.
In order for a branch change to succeed _all_ files that differ
relative to some base (by default the old value of this branch,
but it can also be any valid tree-ish) must be allowed by file
level allow rules. A push is rejected if any diff exists that
is not covered by at least one allow rule.

Teach update-paranoid how to store ACLs organized by groups
In some applications of this paranoid update hook the set of ACL
rules that need to be applied to a user can be large, and the
number of users that those rules must also be applied to can be
more than a handful of individuals. Rather than repeating the same
rules multiple times (once for each user) we now allow users to be
members of groups, where the group supplies the list of ACL rules.
For various reasons we don't depend on the underlying OS groups
and instead perform our own group handling.
Users can be made a member of one or more groups by setting the
user.memberOf property within the "users/$who.acl" file:
This will cause the hook to also parse the "groups/$groupname.acl"
file for each value of user.memberOf, and merge any allow rules
that match the current repository with the user's own private rules
(if they had any).
Since some rules are basically the same but may have a component
differ based on the individual user, any user.* key may be inserted
into a rule using the "${user.foo}" syntax. The allow rule does
not match if the user does not define one (and exactly one) value
for the key "foo".

The basic idea is from Mark Levedahl. I do not use GZ=1 nor
quick-install-doc myself (there obviously is a chicken-and-egg
issue with quick-install-doc for me).
It was very unfortunate that we added core.pager setting to the
configuration file; even when the underlying command does not care
if there is no git repository is involved (think "git diff --no-index"),
the user would now rightfully want the configuration setting to be
honored, which means we would need to read the configuration file before
we launch the pager.
This is a minimum change in the sense that it restores the old
behaviour of not even reading config in setup_git_directory(),
but have the core.pager honored when we know it matters.
Note that this does not cover "git -p --git-dir where command";
the -p option immediately trigger the pager settings before we
even see --git-dir to learn where the configuration file is, so
we will end up reading the configuration from the place where
we would _normally_ find the git repository.
git-am expects the variable $resume to be empty or unset, which might not
be the case if $resume is set in the user's environment. So initialize
it to an empty value on startup.

If you have a working tree _file_ "foo", attempt to refer to a

We run lstat("foo/bar") to check that. If it does not succeed,
there is no ambiguity.
That is good. But we also checked the error status for the
lstat() and expected it to fail with ENOENT. In this particular
case, however, it fails with ENOTDIR. That should be treated as

unpack-trees.c: assume submodules are clean during check-out
Sven originally raised this issue:
If you have a submodule checked out and you go back (or
forward) to a revision of the supermodule that contains a
different revision of the submodule and then switch to
another revision, it will complain that the submodule is not
uptodate, because git simply didn't update the submodule in
the first move.
The current policy is to consider it is perfectly normal that
checked-out submodule is out-of-sync wrt the supermodule index.
At least until we introduce a superproject repository
configuration option that says "in this repository, I do care
about this submodule and at any time I move around in the
superproject, recursively check out the submodule to match", it
is a reasonable policy, as we currently do not recursively
checkout the submodules at all. The most extreme case of this
policy is that the superproject index knows about the submodule
but the subdirectory does not even have to be checked out.
The function verify_uptodate(), called during the two-way merge
aka branch switching, is about "make sure the filesystem entity
that corresponds to this cache entry is up to date, lest we lose
the local modifications". As we explicitly allow submodule
checkout to drift from the supermodule index entry, the check
should say "Ok, for submodules, not matching is the norm" for
now.
Later when we have the ability to mark "I care about this
submodule to be always in sync with the superproject" (thereby
implementing automatic recursive checkout and perhaps diff,
among other things), we should check if the submodule in
question is marked as such and perform the current test.

If somebody used to advertise his repository that physically

git-clone: aggressively optimize local clone behaviour.
This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the
local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share
files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op. A new
option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy
of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal
"pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer
overhead. The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s
is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly
introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as
network" cloning).
* With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via
cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and
also risks corrupted recipient repository if an
alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving
deltas. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you
have a good back-up.
* same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage
of the source repository. It still risks corrupted recipient
repository due to hardware failure. As long as the recipient
is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up.
* The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source
repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient
would be, too. Also it is very cheap. You do not get any
back-up benefit, though.
None of the method is resilient against the source repository
corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison. Then
the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily
if you value the back-up benefit or not. If you want to use the
cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone
with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone,
recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as
you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so
paranoid anyway.
Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is
probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of
little practical value. We default to hardlinked clone for
everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to
make a back-up.

git-sh-setup.sh: make GIT_EDITOR/core.editor/VISUAL/EDITOR accept commands
The previous code only allowed specifying a single executable rather
than a complete command like "emacsclient --alternate-editor vi" in
those variables. Since VISUAL/EDITOR appear to be traditionally
passed to a shell for interpretation (as corroborated with "less",
"mail" and "mailx", while the really ancient "more" indeed allows only
an executable name), the shell function git_editor has been amended
appropriately.
"eval" is employed to have quotes and similar interpreted _after_
expansion, so that specifying
EDITOR='"/home/dak/My Commands/notepad.exe"'
can be used for actually using commands with blanks.
Instead of passing just the first argument of git_editor on, we pass
all of them (so that +lineno might be employed at a later point of
time, or so that multiple files may be edited when appropriate).
Strictly speaking, there is a change in behavior: when
git config core.editor
returns a valid but empty string, the fallbacks are still searched.
This is more consistent, and the old code was problematic with regard
to multiple blanks. Putting in additional quotes might have worked,
but quotes inside of command substitution inside of quotes is nasty
enough to not reliably work the same across "Bourne shells".

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.

Add functions get_relative_cwd() and is_inside_dir()
The function get_relative_cwd() works just as getcwd(), only that it
takes an absolute path as additional parameter, returning the prefix
of the current working directory relative to the given path. If the
cwd is no subdirectory of the given path, it returns NULL.
is_inside_dir() is just a trivial wrapper over get_relative_cwd().

This patch adds convenience functions to work with absolute paths.
The function is_absolute_path() should help the efforts to integrate
the MinGW fork.
Note that make_absolute_path() returns a pointer to a static buffer.

I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of
a /data/git postfix in the posted urls. But transitioning is tricky,
since now all old paths will fail miserably.
So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon
try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up.
With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git
and the old
git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git
work fine.

There are (really!) systems where using environment variables is very
cumbersome (yes, Windows, it has problems unsetting them). Besides this
form is shorter.

make the name of the library directory a config option
Introduce new makefile variable lib to hold the name of the lib
directory ("lib" by default). Also introduce a switch for configure
to specify this name with --with-lib=ARG. This is useful for systems
that use a different name than "lib" (like "lib64" on some 64 bit
Linux architectures).

Some systems do not provide zlib development headers and libraries in
default search path of the compiler. For these systems we should allow
specifying the location by --with-zlib=PATH or by setting ZLIB_PATH in
the makefile.

add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already matches
An earlier commit 366bfcb6 broke git-add by moving read_cache()
call down, because it wanted the directory walking code to grab
paths that are already in the index. The change serves its
purpose, but introduces a regression because the responsibility
of avoiding unnecessary reindexing by matching the cached stat
is shifted nowhere.
This makes it the job of add_file_to_index() function.
This makes rebase/am keep the original commit log message
better, even when it does not conform to "single line paragraph
to say what it does, then explain and defend why it is a good
change in later paragraphs" convention.
This change is a two-edged sword. While the earlier behaviour
would make such commit log messages more friendly to readers who
expect to get the birds-eye view with oneline summary formats,
users who primarily use git as a way to interact with foreign
SCM systems would not care much about the convenience of oneline
git log tools, but care more about preserving their own
convention. This changes their commits less useful to readers
who read them with git tools while keeping them more consistent
with the foreign SCM systems they interact with.
symbolic-ref, update-ref: do not refuse reflog message with LF
Earlier these tools refused to create a reflog entry when the
message given by the calling Porcelain had a LF in it, partially
to keep the file format integrity of reflog file, which is
one-entry-per-line. These tools should not be dictating such a
policy.
Instead, let the codepath to write out the reflog entry worry
about the format integrity and allow messages with LF in them.
log_ref_write() -- do not chomp reflog message at the first LF
A reflog file is organized as one-line-per-entry records, and we
enforced the file format integrity by chomping the given message
at the first LF. This changes it to convert them to SP, which
is more in line with the --pretty=oneline format.
