The previous commit added the necessary machinery to implement the
"--force-if-includes" protection, when "--force-with-lease" is used
without giving exact object the remote still ought to have. Surface
the feature by adding a command line option and a configuration
variable to enable it.
- Add a flag: "TRANSPORT_PUSH_FORCE_IF_INCLUDES" to indicate that the
new option was passed from the command line of via configuration
settings; update command line and configuration parsers to set the
new flag accordingly.
- Introduce a new configuration option "push.useForceIfIncludes", which
is equivalent to setting "--force-if-includes" in the command line.
- Update "remote-curl" to recognize and pass this option to "send-pack"
when enabled.
- Update "advise" to catch the reject reason "REJECT_REF_NEEDS_UPDATE",
set when the ref status is "REF_STATUS_REJECT_REMOTE_UPDATED" and
(optionally) print a help message when the push fails.
- The new option is a "no-op" in the following scenarios:
* When used without "--force-with-lease".
* When used with "--force-with-lease", and if the expected commit
on the remote side is specified as an argument.

Add a check to verify if the remote-tracking ref of the local branch
is reachable from one of its "reflog" entries.
The check iterates through the local ref's reflog to see if there
is an entry for the remote-tracking ref and collecting any commits
that are seen, into a list; the iteration stops if an entry in the
reflog matches the remote ref or if the entry timestamp is older
the latest entry of the remote ref's "reflog". If there wasn't an
entry found for the remote ref, "in_merge_bases_many()" is called
to check if it is reachable from the list of collected commits.
When a local branch that is based on a remote ref, has been rewound
and is to be force pushed on the remote, "--force-if-includes" runs
a check that ensures any updates to the remote-tracking ref that may
have happened (by push from another repository) in-between the time
of the last update to the local branch (via "git-pull", for instance)
and right before the time of push, have been integrated locally
before allowing a forced update.
If the new option is passed without specifying "--force-with-lease",
or specified along with "--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expect>" it
is a "no-op".

The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.
This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:
$ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list
This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).
We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.
Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.
In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.
Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.
This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.
Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

Both fetch and push support pattern refspecs which allow fetching or
pushing references that match a specific pattern. Because these patterns
are globs, they have somewhat limited ability to express more complex
situations.
For example, suppose you wish to fetch all branches from a remote except
for a specific one. To allow this, you must setup a set of refspecs
which match only the branches you want. Because refspecs are either
explicit name matches, or simple globs, many patterns cannot be
expressed.
Add support for a new type of refspec, referred to as "negative"
refspecs. These are prefixed with a '^' and mean "exclude any ref
matching this refspec". They can only have one "side" which always
refers to the source. During a fetch, this refers to the name of the ref
on the remote. During a push, this refers to the name of the ref on the
local side.
With negative refspecs, users can express more complex patterns. For
example:
git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ^refs/heads/dontwant
will fetch all branches on origin into remotes/origin, but will exclude
fetching the branch named dontwant.
Refspecs today are commutative, meaning that order doesn't expressly
matter. Rather than forcing an implied order, negative refspecs will
always be applied last. That is, in order to match, a ref must match at
least one positive refspec, and match none of the negative refspecs.
This is similar to how negative pathspecs work.

5e46139376 ("builtin/fetch: remove unique promisor remote limitation",
2019-06-25) - in particular, changing from:
* If this is the FIRST partial-fetch request, we enable partial
* on this repo and remember the given filter-spec as the default
* for subsequent fetches to this remote.
to:
* If this is a partial-fetch request, we enable partial on
* this repo if not already enabled and remember the given
* filter-spec as the default for subsequent fetches to this
* remote.
(The given filter-spec is "remembered" even if there is already an
existing one.)
This is problematic whenever a lazy fetch is made, because lazy fetches
are made using "git fetch --filter=blob:none", but this will also happen
if the user invokes "git fetch --filter=<filter>" manually. Therefore,
restore the behavior prior to 5e46139376, which writes a filter-spec
only if the current fetch request is the first partial-fetch one (for
that remote).

Now that shortlog supports reading from trailers, it can be useful to
combine counts from multiple trailers, or between trailers and authors.
This can be done manually by post-processing the output from multiple
runs, but it's non-trivial to make sure that each name/commit pair is
counted only once.
This patch teaches shortlog to accept multiple --group options on the
command line, and pull data from all of them. That makes it possible to
run:
git shortlog -ns --group=author --group=trailer:co-authored-by
to get a shortlog that counts authors and co-authors equally.
The implementation is mostly straightforward. The "group" enum becomes a
bitfield, and the trailer key becomes a list. I didn't bother
implementing the multi-group semantics for reading from stdin. It would
be possible to do, but the existing matching code makes it awkward, and
I doubt anybody cares.
The duplicate suppression we used for trailers now covers authors and
committers as well (though in non-trailer single-group mode we can skip
the hash insertion and lookup, since we only see one value per commit).
There is one subtlety: we now care about the case when no group bit is
set (in which case we default to showing the author). The caller in
builtin/log.c needs to be adapted to ask explicitly for authors, rather
than relying on shortlog_init(). It would be possible with some
gymnastics to make this keep working as-is, but it's not worth it for a
single caller.

Trailers don't necessarily contain name/email identity values, so
shortlog has so far treated them as opaque strings. However, since many
trailers do contain identities, it's useful to treat them as such when
they can be parsed. That lets "-e" work as usual, as well as mailmap.
When they can't be parsed, we'll continue with the old behavior of
treating them as a single string (there's no new test for that here,
since the existing tests cover a trailer like this).

Add new subcommands to 'git maintenance' that start or stop background
maintenance using 'cron', when available. This integration is as simple
as I could make it, barring some implementation complications.
The schedule is laid out as follows:
0 1-23 * * * $cmd maintenance run --schedule=hourly
0 0 * * 1-6 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=daily
0 0 * * 0 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=weekly
where $cmd is a properly-qualified 'git for-each-repo' execution:
$cmd=$path/git --exec-path=$path for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo
where $path points to the location of the Git executable running 'git
maintenance start'. This is critical for systems with multiple versions
of Git. Specifically, macOS has a system version at '/usr/bin/git' while
the version that users can install resides at '/usr/local/bin/git'
(symlinked to '/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git'). This will also use
your locally-built version if you build and run this in your development
environment without installing first.
This conditional schedule avoids having cron launch multiple 'git
for-each-repo' commands in parallel. Such parallel commands would likely
lead to the 'hourly' and 'daily' tasks competing over the object
database lock. This could lead to to some tasks never being run! Since
the --schedule=<frequency> argument will run all tasks with _at least_
the given frequency, the daily runs will also run the hourly tasks.
Similarly, the weekly runs will also run the daily and hourly tasks.
The GIT_TEST_CRONTAB environment variable is not intended for users to
edit, but instead as a way to mock the 'crontab [-l]' command. This
variable is set in test-lib.sh to avoid a future test from accidentally
running anything with the cron integration from modifying the user's
schedule. We use GIT_TEST_CRONTAB='test-tool crontab <file>' in our
tests to check how the schedule is modified in 'git maintenance
(start|stop)' commands.

Maintenance currently triggers when certain data-size thresholds are
met, such as number of pack-files or loose objects. Users may want to
run certain maintenance tasks based on frequency instead. For example,
a user may want to perform a 'prefetch' task every hour, or 'gc' task
every day. To help these users, update the 'git maintenance run' command
to include a '--schedule=<frequency>' option. The allowed frequencies
are 'hourly', 'daily', and 'weekly'. These values are also allowed in a
new config value 'maintenance.<task>.schedule'.
The 'git maintenance run --schedule=<frequency>' checks the '*.schedule'
config value for each enabled task to see if the configured frequency is
at least as frequent as the frequency from the '--schedule' argument. We
use the following order, for full clarity:
'hourly' > 'daily' > 'weekly'
Use new 'enum schedule_priority' to track these values numerically.
The following cron table would run the scheduled tasks with the correct
frequencies:
0 1-23 * * * git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=hourly
0 0 * * 1-6 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=daily
0 0 * * 0 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=weekly
This cron schedule will run --schedule=hourly every hour except at
midnight. This avoids a concurrent run with the --schedule=daily that
runs at midnight every day except the first day of the week. This avoids
a concurrent run with the --schedule=weekly that runs at midnight on
the first day of the week. Since --schedule=daily also runs the
'hourly' tasks and --schedule=weekly runs the 'hourly' and 'daily'
tasks, we will still see all tasks run with the proper frequencies.

The incremental-repack task updates the multi-pack-index by deleting pack-
files that have been replaced with new packs, then repacking a batch of
small pack-files into a larger pack-file. This incremental repack is faster
than rewriting all object data, but is slower than some other
maintenance activities.
The 'maintenance.incremental-repack.auto' config option specifies how many
pack-files should exist outside of the multi-pack-index before running
the step. These pack-files could be created by 'git fetch' commands or
by the loose-objects task. The default value is 10.
Setting the option to zero disables the task with the '--auto' option,

When repacking during the 'incremental-repack' task, we use the
--batch-size option in 'git multi-pack-index repack'. The initial setting
used --batch-size=0 to repack everything into a single pack-file. This is
not sustainable for a large repository. The amount of work required is
also likely to use too many system resources for a background job.
Update the 'incremental-repack' task by dynamically computing a
--batch-size option based on the current pack-file structure.
The dynamic default size is computed with this idea in mind for a client
repository that was cloned from a very large remote: there is likely one
"big" pack-file that was created at clone time. Thus, do not try
repacking it as it is likely packed efficiently by the server.
Instead, we select the second-largest pack-file, and create a batch size
that is one larger than that pack-file. If there are three or more
pack-files, then this guarantees that at least two will be combined into
a new pack-file.
Of course, this means that the second-largest pack-file size is likely
to grow over time and may eventually surpass the initially-cloned
pack-file. Recall that the pack-file batch is selected in a greedy
manner: the packs are considered from oldest to newest and are selected
if they have size smaller than the batch size until the total selected
size is larger than the batch size. Thus, that oldest "clone" pack will
be first to repack after the new data creates a pack larger than that.
We also want to place some limits on how large these pack-files become,
in order to bound the amount of time spent repacking. A maximum
batch-size of two gigabytes means that large repositories will never be
packed into a single pack-file using this job, but also that repack is
rather expensive. This is a trade-off that is valuable to have if the
maintenance is being run automatically or in the background. Users who
truly want to optimize for space and performance (and are willing to pay
the upfront cost of a full repack) can use the 'gc' task to do so.
Create a test for this two gigabyte limit by creating an EXPENSIVE test
that generates two pack-files of roughly 2.5 gigabytes in size, then
performs an incremental repack. Check that the --batch-size argument in
the subcommand uses the hard-coded maximum.

most space-efficient way to store object data, it is not time or
memory efficient. This becomes extremely important if the repo is
so large that a user struggles to store two copies of the pack on
their disk.
Instead, perform an "incremental" repack by collecting a few small
pack-files into a new pack-file. The multi-pack-index facilitates
this process ever since 'git multi-pack-index expire' was added in
19575c7 (multi-pack-index: implement 'expire' subcommand,
2019-06-10) and 'git multi-pack-index repack' was added in ce1e4a1
(midx: implement midx_repack(), 2019-06-10).
The 'incremental-repack' task runs the following steps:
1. 'git multi-pack-index write' creates a multi-pack-index file if
one did not exist, and otherwise will update the multi-pack-index
with any new pack-files that appeared since the last write. This
is particularly relevant with the background fetch job.
When the multi-pack-index sees two copies of the same object, it
stores the offset data into the newer pack-file. This means that
some old pack-files could become "unreferenced" which I will use
to mean "a pack-file that is in the pack-file list of the
multi-pack-index but none of the objects in the multi-pack-index
reference a location inside that pack-file."
2. 'git multi-pack-index expire' deletes any unreferenced pack-files
and updaes the multi-pack-index to drop those pack-files from the
list. This is safe to do as concurrent Git processes will see the
multi-pack-index and not open those packs when looking for object
contents. (Similar to the 'loose-objects' job, there are some Git
commands that open pack-files regardless of the multi-pack-index,
but they are rarely used. Further, a user that self-selects to
use background operations would likely refrain from using those
commands.)
3. 'git multi-pack-index repack --bacth-size=<size>' collects a set
of pack-files that are listed in the multi-pack-index and creates
a new pack-file containing the objects whose offsets are listed
by the multi-pack-index to be in those objects. The set of pack-
files is selected greedily by sorting the pack-files by modified
time and adding a pack-file to the set if its "expected size" is
smaller than the batch size until the total expected size of the
selected pack-files is at least the batch size. The "expected
size" is calculated by taking the size of the pack-file divided
by the number of objects in the pack-file and multiplied by the
number of objects from the multi-pack-index with offset in that
pack-file. The expected size approximates how much data from that
pack-file will contribute to the resulting pack-file size. The
intention is that the resulting pack-file will be close in size
to the provided batch size.
The next run of the incremental-repack task will delete these
repacked pack-files during the 'expire' step.
In this version, the batch size is set to "0" which ignores the
size restrictions when selecting the pack-files. It instead
selects all pack-files and repacks all packed objects into a
single pack-file. This will be updated in the next change, but
it requires doing some calculations that are better isolated to
a separate change.
These steps are based on a similar background maintenance step in
Scalar (and VFS for Git) [1]. This was incredibly effective for
users of the Windows OS repository. After using the same VFS for Git
repository for over a year, some users had _thousands_ of pack-files
that combined to up to 250 GB of data. We noticed a few users were
running into the open file descriptor limits (due in part to a bug
in the multi-pack-index fixed by af96fe3 (midx: add packs to
packed_git linked list, 2019-04-29).
These pack-files were mostly small since they contained the commits
and trees that were pushed to the origin in a given hour. The GVFS
protocol includes a "prefetch" step that asks for pre-computed pack-
files containing commits and trees by timestamp. These pack-files
were grouped into "daily" pack-files once a day for up to 30 days.
If a user did not request prefetch packs for over 30 days, then they
would get the entire history of commits and trees in a new, large
pack-file. This led to a large number of pack-files that had poor
delta compression.
By running this pack-file maintenance step once per day, these repos
with thousands of packs spanning 200+ GB dropped to dozens of pack-
files spanning 30-50 GB. This was done all without removing objects
from the system and using a constant batch size of two gigabytes.
Once the work was done to reduce the pack-files to small sizes, the
batch size of two gigabytes means that not every run triggers a
repack operation, so the following run will not expire a pack-file.
This has kept these repos in a "clean" state.

The loose-objects task deletes loose objects that already exist in a
pack-file, then place the remaining loose objects into a new pack-file.
If this step runs all the time, then we risk creating pack-files with
very few objects with every 'git commit' process. To prevent
overwhelming the packs directory with small pack-files, place a minimum
number of objects to justify the task.
The 'maintenance.loose-objects.auto' config option specifies a minimum
number of loose objects to justify the task to run under the '--auto'
option. This defaults to 100 loose objects. Setting the value to zero
will prevent the step from running under '--auto' while a negative value
will force it to run every time.

One goal of background maintenance jobs is to allow a user to
disable auto-gc (gc.auto=0) but keep their repository in a clean
state. Without any cleanup, loose objects will clutter the object
database and slow operations. In addition, the loose objects will
take up extra space because they are not stored with deltas against
similar objects.
Create a 'loose-objects' task for the 'git maintenance run' command.
This helps clean up loose objects without disrupting concurrent Git
commands using the following sequence of events:
1. Run 'git prune-packed' to delete any loose objects that exist
in a pack-file. Concurrent commands will prefer the packed
version of the object to the loose version. (Of course, there
are exceptions for commands that specifically care about the
location of an object. These are rare for a user to run on
purpose, and we hope a user that has selected background
maintenance will not be trying to do foreground maintenance.)
2. Run 'git pack-objects' on a batch of loose objects. These
objects are grouped by scanning the loose object directories in
lexicographic order until listing all loose objects -or-
reaching 50,000 objects. This is more than enough if the loose
objects are created only by a user doing normal development.
We noticed users with _millions_ of loose objects because VFS
for Git downloads blobs on-demand when a file read operation
requires populating a virtual file.
This step is based on a similar step in Scalar [1] and VFS for Git.

When working with very large repositories, an incremental 'git fetch'
command can download a large amount of data. If there are many other
users pushing to a common repo, then this data can rival the initial
pack-file size of a 'git clone' of a medium-size repo.
Users may want to keep the data on their local repos as close as
possible to the data on the remote repos by fetching periodically in
the background. This can break up a large daily fetch into several
smaller hourly fetches.
The task is called "prefetch" because it is work done in advance
of a foreground fetch to make that 'git fetch' command much faster.
However, if we simply ran 'git fetch <remote>' in the background,
then the user running a foreground 'git fetch <remote>' would lose
some important feedback when a new branch appears or an existing
branch updates. This is especially true if a remote branch is
force-updated and this isn't noticed by the user because it occurred
in the background. Further, the functionality of 'git push
--force-with-lease' becomes suspect.
When running 'git fetch <remote> <options>' in the background, use
the following options for careful updating:
1. --no-tags prevents getting a new tag when a user wants to see
the new tags appear in their foreground fetches.
2. --refmap= removes the configured refspec which usually updates
refs/remotes/<remote>/* with the refs advertised by the remote.
While this looks confusing, this was documented and tested by
b40a50264a (fetch: document and test --refmap="", 2020-01-21),
including this sentence in the documentation:
Providing an empty `<refspec>` to the `--refmap` option
causes Git to ignore the configured refspecs and rely
entirely on the refspecs supplied as command-line arguments.
3. By adding a new refspec "+refs/heads/*:refs/prefetch/<remote>/*"
we can ensure that we actually load the new values somewhere in
our refspace while not updating refs/heads or refs/remotes. By
storing these refs here, the commit-graph job will update the
commit-graph with the commits from these hidden refs.
4. --prune will delete the refs/prefetch/<remote> refs that no
longer appear on the remote.
5. --no-write-fetch-head prevents updating FETCH_HEAD.
We've been using this step as a critical background job in Scalar
[1] (and VFS for Git). This solved a pain point that was showing up
in user reports: fetching was a pain! Users do not like waiting to
download the data that was created while they were away from their
machines. After implementing background fetch, the foreground fetch
commands sped up significantly because they mostly just update refs
and download a small amount of new data. The effect is especially
dramatic when paried with --no-show-forced-udpates (through
fetch.showForcedUpdates=false).

In 06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function
partially in C, 2019-01-02), we changed the following shell
code:
- rev=$(git rev-parse -q --verify "$arg^{commit}") || {
- test $has_double_dash -eq 1 &&
- die "$(eval_gettext "'\$arg' does not appear to be a valid revision")"
- break
- }
- revs="$revs $rev"
into:
+ char *commit_id = xstrfmt("%s^{commit}", arg);
+ if (get_oid(commit_id, &oid) && has_double_dash)
+ die(_("'%s' does not appear to be a valid "
+ "revision"), arg);
+
+ string_list_append(&revs, oid_to_hex(&oid));
+ free(commit_id);
In case of an invalid "arg" when "has_double_dash" is false, the old
code would "break" out of the argument loop.
In the new C code though, `oid_to_hex(&oid)` is unconditonally
appended to "revs". This is wrong first because "oid" is junk as
`get_oid(commit_id, &oid)` failed and second because it doesn't break
out of the argument loop.
Not breaking out of the argument loop means that "arg" is then not
treated as a path restriction (which is wrong).

The command reads list of object names to place on the ignore list
either from the command line or from a file, but they are not
checked with their object type (those read from the file are not
even checked for object existence).
Extend the oidset_parse_file() API and allow it to take a callback
that can be used to die (e.g. when an inappropriate input is read)
or modify the object name read (e.g. when a tag pointing at a commit
is read, and the caller wants a commit object name), and use it in
the code that handles ignore list.

This reverts commit f39ad38410.
That commit was trying to silence a type-punning warning on older
versions of gcc. However, its analysis was all wrong. I didn't notice
that we _were_ in fact type-punning because there are two versions of
put_be32(): one that uses casts and unaligned loads, and another that
uses bitshifts. I looked at the latter, but on my platform we were
defaulting to the former.
However, as of the previous commit, we'll always use the bitshift
version. So we can drop this hackery to avoid the warning, making the
code slightly cleaner.

Reimplement the `bisect_next()` and the `bisect_auto_next()` shell functions
in C and add the subcommands to `git bisect--helper` to call them from
git-bisect.sh .
bisect_auto_next() function returns an enum bisect_error type as whole
`git bisect` can exit with an error code when bisect_next() does.
Return an error when `bisect_next()` fails, that fix a bug on shell script
version.
Using `--bisect-next` and `--bisect-auto-next` subcommands is a
temporary measure to port shell function to C so as to use the existing
test suite. As more functions are ported, `--bisect-auto-next`
subcommand will be retired and will be called by some other methods.
