# Git Code of Conduct
This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within
the Git community, as well as steps for reporting unacceptable behavior.
We are committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring community for
all and expect our code of conduct to be honored. Anyone who violates
this code of conduct may be banned from the community.
## Our Pledge
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age,
body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and
expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
orientation.
## Our Standards
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
include:
* Using welcoming and inclusive language
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
* Focusing on what is best for the community
* Showing empathy towards other community members
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
advances
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
address, without explicit permission
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting
## Our Responsibilities
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
threatening, offensive, or harmful.
## Scope
This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies
when an individual is representing the project or its community in public
spaces. Examples of representing a project or community include using an
official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account,
or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project
maintainers.
## Enforcement
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported by contacting the project team at git@sfconservancy.org. All
complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response
that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project
team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of
an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted
separately.
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
members of the project's leadership.
The project leadership team can be contacted by email as a whole at
git@sfconservancy.org, or individually:

- Christian Couder <christian.couder@gmail.com>
- Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
- Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

[[getting-help]]
=== Getting Help
If you get stuck, you can seek help in the following places.
==== git@vger.kernel.org
This is the main Git project mailing list where code reviews, version
announcements, design discussions, and more take place. Those interested in
contributing are welcome to post questions here. The Git list requires
plain-text-only emails and prefers inline and bottom-posting when replying to
mail; you will be CC'd in all replies to you. Optionally, you can subscribe to
the list by sending an email to majordomo@vger.kernel.org with "subscribe git"
in the body. The https://lore.kernel.org/git[archive] of this mailing list is
available to view in a browser.
==== https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/git-mentoring[git-mentoring@googlegroups.com]
This mailing list is targeted to new contributors and was created as a place to
post questions and receive answers outside of the public eye of the main list.
Veteran contributors who are especially interested in helping mentor newcomers
are present on the list. In order to avoid search indexers, group membership is
required to view messages; anyone can join and no approval is required.
==== https://webchat.freenode.net/#git-devel[#git-devel] on Freenode
This IRC channel is for conversations between Git contributors. If someone is
currently online and knows the answer to your question, you can receive help
in real time. Otherwise, you can read the
https://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_logs/git-devel[scrollback] to see
whether someone answered you. IRC does not allow offline private messaging, so
if you try to private message someone and then log out of IRC, they cannot
respond to you. It's better to ask your questions in the channel so that you
can be answered if you disconnect and so that others can learn from the
conversation.

=== Installing Dependencies
To build Git from source, you need to have a handful of dependencies installed
on your system. For a hint of what's needed, you can take a look at
`INSTALL`, paying close attention to the section about Git's dependencies on
external programs and libraries. That document mentions a way to "test-drive"
our freshly built Git without installing; that's the method we'll be using in
this tutorial.
Make sure that your environment has everything you need by building your brand

= My First Object Walk
== What's an Object Walk?
The object walk is a key concept in Git - this is the process that underpins
operations like object transfer and fsck. Beginning from a given commit, the
list of objects is found by walking parent relationships between commits (commit
X based on commit W) and containment relationships between objects (tree Y is
contained within commit X, and blob Z is located within tree Y, giving our
working tree for commit X something like `y/z.txt`).
A related concept is the revision walk, which is focused on commit objects and
their parent relationships and does not delve into other object types. The
revision walk is used for operations like `git log`.
=== Related Reading
- `Documentation/user-manual.txt` under "Hacking Git" contains some coverage of
the revision walker in its various incarnations.
- `revision.h`
- https://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/[Git for Computer Scientists]
gives a good overview of the types of objects in Git and what your object
walk is really describing.
== Setting Up
Create a new branch from `master`.
----
git checkout -b revwalk origin/master
----
We'll put our fiddling into a new command. For fun, let's name it `git walken`.
Open up a new file `builtin/walken.c` and set up the command handler:
----
/*
* "git walken"
*
* Part of the "My First Object Walk" tutorial.
*/
#include "builtin.h"
int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
{
trace_printf(_("cmd_walken incoming...\n"));
return 0;
}
----
NOTE: `trace_printf()` differs from `printf()` in that it can be turned on or
off at runtime. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will write `walken` as
though it is intended for use as a "plumbing" command: that is, a command which
is used primarily in scripts, rather than interactively by humans (a "porcelain"
command). So we will send our debug output to `trace_printf()` instead. When
running, enable trace output by setting the environment variable `GIT_TRACE`.
Add usage text and `-h` handling, like all subcommands should consistently do
(our test suite will notice and complain if you fail to do so).
----
int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
{
const char * const walken_usage[] = {
N_("git walken"),
NULL,
}
struct option options[] = {
OPT_END()
};
argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options, walken_usage, 0);
...
}
----
Also add the relevant line in `builtin.h` near `cmd_whatchanged()`:
----
int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix);

Include the command in `git.c` in `commands[]` near the entry for `whatchanged`,
maintaining alphabetical ordering:

=== `struct rev_cmdline_info`
The definition of `struct rev_cmdline_info` can be found in `revision.h`.
This struct is contained within the `rev_info` struct and is used to reflect
parameters provided by the user over the CLI.
`nr` represents the number of `rev_cmdline_entry` present in the array.
`alloc` is used by the `ALLOC_GROW` macro. Check `cache.h` - this variable is
used to track the allocated size of the list.
Per entry, we find:
`item` is the object provided upon which to base the object walk. Items in Git
can be blobs, trees, commits, or tags. (See `Documentation/gittutorial-2.txt`.)
`name` is the object ID (OID) of the object - a hex string you may be familiar
with from using Git to organize your source in the past. Check the tutorial
mentioned above towards the top for a discussion of where the OID can come
from.
`whence` indicates some information about what to do with the parents of the
specified object. We'll explore this flag more later on; take a look at
`Documentation/revisions.txt` to get an idea of what could set the `whence`
value.
`flags` are used to hint the beginning of the revision walk and are the first
block under the `#include`s in `revision.h`. The most likely ones to be set in
the `rev_cmdline_info` are `UNINTERESTING` and `BOTTOM`, but these same flags
can be used during the walk, as well.
=== `struct rev_info`
This one is quite a bit longer, and many fields are only used during the walk
by `revision.c` - not configuration options. Most of the configurable flags in
`struct rev_info` have a mirror in `Documentation/rev-list-options.txt`. It's a
good idea to take some time and read through that document.
== Basic Commit Walk
First, let's see if we can replicate the output of `git log --oneline`. We'll
refer back to the implementation frequently to discover norms when performing
an object walk of our own.
To do so, we'll first find all the commits, in order, which preceded the current
commit. We'll extract the name and subject of the commit from each.
Ideally, we will also be able to find out which ones are currently at the tip of
various branches.
=== Setting Up
Preparing for your object walk has some distinct stages.
1. Perform default setup for this mode, and others which may be invoked.
2. Check configuration files for relevant settings.
3. Set up the `rev_info` struct.
4. Tweak the initialized `rev_info` to suit the current walk.
5. Prepare the `rev_info` for the walk.
6. Iterate over the objects, processing each one.
==== Default Setups
Before examining configuration files which may modify command behavior, set up
default state for switches or options your command may have. If your command
utilizes other Git components, ask them to set up their default states as well.
For instance, `git log` takes advantage of `grep` and `diff` functionality, so
its `init_log_defaults()` sets its own state (`decoration_style`) and asks
`grep` and `diff` to initialize themselves by calling each of their
initialization functions.
For our first example within `git walken`, we don't intend to use any other
components within Git, and we don't have any configuration to do. However, we
may want to add some later, so for now, we can add an empty placeholder. Create
a new function in `builtin/walken.c`:
----
static void init_walken_defaults(void)
{
/*
* We don't actually need the same components `git log` does; leave this
* empty for now.
*/
}
----
Make sure to add a line invoking it inside of `cmd_walken()`.
----
int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
{
init_walken_defaults();
}
----
==== Configuring From `.gitconfig`
Next, we should have a look at any relevant configuration settings (i.e.,
settings readable and settable from `git config`). This is done by providing a
callback to `git_config()`; within that callback, you can also invoke methods
from other components you may need that need to intercept these options. Your
callback will be invoked once per each configuration value which Git knows about
(global, local, worktree, etc.).
Similarly to the default values, we don't have anything to do here yet
ourselves; however, we should call `git_default_config()` if we aren't calling
any other existing config callbacks.
Add a new function to `builtin/walken.c`:
----
static int git_walken_config(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb)
{
/*
* For now, we don't have any custom configuration, so fall back to
* the default config.
*/
return git_default_config(var, value, cb);
}
----
Make sure to invoke `git_config()` with it in your `cmd_walken()`:
----
int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
{
...
git_config(git_walken_config, NULL);
...
}
----
==== Setting Up `rev_info`
Now that we've gathered external configuration and options, it's time to
initialize the `rev_info` object which we will use to perform the walk. This is
typically done by calling `repo_init_revisions()` with the repository you intend
to target, as well as the `prefix` argument of `cmd_walken` and your `rev_info`
struct.
Add the `struct rev_info` and the `repo_init_revisions()` call:
----
int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
{
/* This can go wherever you like in your declarations.*/
struct rev_info rev;
...
/* This should go after the git_config() call. */
repo_init_revisions(the_repository, &rev, prefix);
...
}
----
==== Tweaking `rev_info` For the Walk
We're getting close, but we're still not quite ready to go. Now that `rev` is
initialized, we can modify it to fit our needs. This is usually done within a
helper for clarity, so let's add one:
----
static void final_rev_info_setup(struct rev_info *rev)
{
/*
* We want to mimic the appearance of `git log --oneline`, so let's
* force oneline format.
*/
get_commit_format("oneline", rev);
/* Start our object walk at HEAD. */
add_head_to_pending(rev);
}
----
[NOTE]
====
Instead of using the shorthand `add_head_to_pending()`, you could do
something like this:
----
struct setup_revision_opt opt;
memset(&opt, 0, sizeof(opt));
opt.def = "HEAD";
opt.revarg_opt = REVARG_COMMITTISH;
setup_revisions(argc, argv, rev, &opt);
----
Using a `setup_revision_opt` gives you finer control over your walk's starting
point.
====
Then let's invoke `final_rev_info_setup()` after the call to
`repo_init_revisions()`:
----
int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
{
...
final_rev_info_setup(&rev);
...
}
----
Later, we may wish to add more arguments to `final_rev_info_setup()`. But for
now, this is all we need.
==== Preparing `rev_info` For the Walk
Now that `rev` is all initialized and configured, we've got one more setup step
before we get rolling. We can do this in a helper, which will both prepare the
`rev_info` for the walk, and perform the walk itself. Let's start the helper
with the call to `prepare_revision_walk()`, which can return an error without
dying on its own:
----
static void walken_commit_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
{
if (prepare_revision_walk(rev))
die(_("revision walk setup failed"));
}
----
NOTE: `die()` prints to `stderr` and exits the program. Since it will print to
`stderr` it's likely to be seen by a human, so we will localize it.
==== Performing the Walk!
Finally! We are ready to begin the walk itself. Now we can see that `rev_info`
can also be used as an iterator; we move to the next item in the walk by using
`get_revision()` repeatedly. Add the listed variable declarations at the top and
the walk loop below the `prepare_revision_walk()` call within your
`walken_commit_walk()`:
----
static void walken_commit_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
{
struct commit *commit;
struct strbuf prettybuf = STRBUF_INIT;
...
while ((commit = get_revision(rev))) {
if (!commit)
continue;
strbuf_reset(&prettybuf);
pp_commit_easy(CMIT_FMT_ONELINE, commit, &prettybuf);
puts(prettybuf.buf);
}
strbuf_release(&prettybuf);
}
----
NOTE: `puts()` prints a `char*` to `stdout`. Since this is the part of the
command we expect to be machine-parsed, we're sending it directly to stdout.
Give it a shot.
----
$ make
$ ./bin-wrappers/git walken
----
You should see all of the subject lines of all the commits in
your tree's history, in order, ending with the initial commit, "Initial revision
of "git", the information manager from hell". Congratulations! You've written
your first revision walk. You can play with printing some additional fields
from each commit if you're curious; have a look at the functions available in
`commit.h`.
=== Adding a Filter
Next, let's try to filter the commits we see based on their author. This is
equivalent to running `git log --author=<pattern>`. We can add a filter by
modifying `rev_info.grep_filter`, which is a `struct grep_opt`.
First some setup. Add `init_grep_defaults()` to `init_walken_defaults()` and add
`grep_config()` to `git_walken_config()`:
----
static void init_walken_defaults(void)
{
init_grep_defaults(the_repository);
}
...
static int git_walken_config(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb)
{
grep_config(var, value, cb);
return git_default_config(var, value, cb);
}
----
Next, we can modify the `grep_filter`. This is done with convenience functions
found in `grep.h`. For fun, we're filtering to only commits from folks using a
`gmail.com` email address - a not-very-precise guess at who may be working on
Git as a hobby. Since we're checking the author, which is a specific line in the
header, we'll use the `append_header_grep_pattern()` helper. We can use
the `enum grep_header_field` to indicate which part of the commit header we want
to search.
In `final_rev_info_setup()`, add your filter line:
----
static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv,
const char *prefix, struct rev_info *rev)
{
...
append_header_grep_pattern(&rev->grep_filter, GREP_HEADER_AUTHOR,
"gmail");
compile_grep_patterns(&rev->grep_filter);
...
}
----
`append_header_grep_pattern()` adds your new "gmail" pattern to `rev_info`, but
it won't work unless we compile it with `compile_grep_patterns()`.
NOTE: If you are using `setup_revisions()` (for example, if you are passing a
`setup_revision_opt` instead of using `add_head_to_pending()`), you don't need
to call `compile_grep_patterns()` because `setup_revisions()` calls it for you.
NOTE: We could add the same filter via the `append_grep_pattern()` helper if we
wanted to, but `append_header_grep_pattern()` adds the `enum grep_context` and
`enum grep_pat_token` for us.
=== Changing the Order
There are a few ways that we can change the order of the commits during a
revision walk. Firstly, we can use the `enum rev_sort_order` to choose from some
typical orderings.
`topo_order` is the same as `git log --topo-order`: we avoid showing a parent
before all of its children have been shown, and we avoid mixing commits which
are in different lines of history. (`git help log`'s section on `--topo-order`
has a very nice diagram to illustrate this.)
Let's see what happens when we run with `REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE` as opposed to
`REV_SORT_BY_AUTHOR_DATE`. Add the following:
----
static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv,
const char *prefix, struct rev_info *rev)
{
...
rev->topo_order = 1;
rev->sort_order = REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE;
...
}
----
Let's output this into a file so we can easily diff it with the walk sorted by
author date.
----
$ make
$ ./bin-wrappers/git walken > commit-date.txt
----
Then, let's sort by author date and run it again.
----
static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv,
const char *prefix, struct rev_info *rev)
{
...
rev->topo_order = 1;
rev->sort_order = REV_SORT_BY_AUTHOR_DATE;
...
}
----
----
$ make
$ ./bin-wrappers/git walken > author-date.txt
----
Finally, compare the two. This is a little less helpful without object names or
dates, but hopefully we get the idea.
----
$ diff -u commit-date.txt author-date.txt
----
This display indicates that commits can be reordered after they're written, for
example with `git rebase`.
Let's try one more reordering of commits. `rev_info` exposes a `reverse` flag.
Set that flag somewhere inside of `final_rev_info_setup()`:
----
static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix,
struct rev_info *rev)
{
...
rev->reverse = 1;
...
}
----
Run your walk again and note the difference in order. (If you remove the grep
pattern, you should see the last commit this call gives you as your current
HEAD.)
== Basic Object Walk
So far we've been walking only commits. But Git has more types of objects than
that! Let's see if we can walk _all_ objects, and find out some information
about each one.
We can base our work on an example. `git pack-objects` prepares all kinds of
objects for packing into a bitmap or packfile. The work we are interested in
resides in `builtins/pack-objects.c:get_object_list()`; examination of that
function shows that the all-object walk is being performed by
`traverse_commit_list()` or `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`. Those two
functions reside in `list-objects.c`; examining the source shows that, despite
the name, these functions traverse all kinds of objects. Let's have a look at
the arguments to `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`, which are a superset of the
arguments to the unfiltered version.
- `struct list_objects_filter_options *filter_options`: This is a struct which
stores a filter-spec as outlined in `Documentation/rev-list-options.txt`.
- `struct rev_info *revs`: This is the `rev_info` used for the walk.
- `show_commit_fn show_commit`: A callback which will be used to handle each
individual commit object.
- `show_object_fn show_object`: A callback which will be used to handle each
non-commit object (so each blob, tree, or tag).
- `void *show_data`: A context buffer which is passed in turn to `show_commit`
and `show_object`.
- `struct oidset *omitted`: A linked-list of object IDs which the provided
filter caused to be omitted.
It looks like this `traverse_commit_list_filtered()` uses callbacks we provide
instead of needing us to call it repeatedly ourselves. Cool! Let's add the
callbacks first.
For the sake of this tutorial, we'll simply keep track of how many of each kind
of object we find. At file scope in `builtin/walken.c` add the following
tracking variables:
----
static int commit_count;
static int tag_count;
static int blob_count;
static int tree_count;
----
Commits are handled by a different callback than other objects; let's do that
one first:
----
static void walken_show_commit(struct commit *cmt, void *buf)
{
commit_count++;
}
----
The `cmt` argument is fairly self-explanatory. But it's worth mentioning that
the `buf` argument is actually the context buffer that we can provide to the
traversal calls - `show_data`, which we mentioned a moment ago.
Since we have the `struct commit` object, we can look at all the same parts that
we looked at in our earlier commit-only walk. For the sake of this tutorial,
though, we'll just increment the commit counter and move on.
The callback for non-commits is a little different, as we'll need to check
which kind of object we're dealing with:
----
static void walken_show_object(struct object *obj, const char *str, void *buf)
{
switch (obj->type) {
case OBJ_TREE:
tree_count++;
break;
case OBJ_BLOB:
blob_count++;
break;
case OBJ_TAG:
tag_count++;
break;
case OBJ_COMMIT:
BUG("unexpected commit object in walken_show_object\n");
default:
BUG("unexpected object type %s in walken_show_object\n",
type_name(obj->type));
}
}
----
Again, `obj` is fairly self-explanatory, and we can guess that `buf` is the same
context pointer that `walken_show_commit()` receives: the `show_data` argument
to `traverse_commit_list()` and `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`. Finally,
`str` contains the name of the object, which ends up being something like
`foo.txt` (blob), `bar/baz` (tree), or `v1.2.3` (tag).
To help assure us that we aren't double-counting commits, we'll include some
complaining if a commit object is routed through our non-commit callback; we'll
also complain if we see an invalid object type. Since those two cases should be
unreachable, and would only change in the event of a semantic change to the Git
codebase, we complain by using `BUG()` - which is a signal to a developer that
the change they made caused unintended consequences, and the rest of the
codebase needs to be updated to understand that change. `BUG()` is not intended
to be seen by the public, so it is not localized.
Our main object walk implementation is substantially different from our commit
walk implementation, so let's make a new function to perform the object walk. We
can perform setup which is applicable to all objects here, too, to keep separate
from setup which is applicable to commit-only walks.
We'll start by enabling all types of objects in the `struct rev_info`. We'll
also turn on `tree_blobs_in_commit_order`, which means that we will walk a
commit's tree and everything it points to immediately after we find each commit,
as opposed to waiting for the end and walking through all trees after the commit
history has been discovered. With the appropriate settings configured, we are
ready to call `prepare_revision_walk()`.
----
static void walken_object_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
{
rev->tree_objects = 1;
rev->blob_objects = 1;
rev->tag_objects = 1;
rev->tree_blobs_in_commit_order = 1;
if (prepare_revision_walk(rev))
die(_("revision walk setup failed"));
commit_count = 0;
tag_count = 0;
blob_count = 0;
tree_count = 0;
----
Let's start by calling just the unfiltered walk and reporting our counts.
Complete your implementation of `walken_object_walk()`:
----
traverse_commit_list(rev, walken_show_commit, walken_show_object, NULL);
printf("commits %d\nblobs %d\ntags %d\ntrees %d\n", commit_count,
blob_count, tag_count, tree_count);
}
----
NOTE: This output is intended to be machine-parsed. Therefore, we are not
sending it to `trace_printf()`, and we are not localizing it - we need scripts
to be able to count on the formatting to be exactly the way it is shown here.
If we were intending this output to be read by humans, we would need to localize
it with `_()`.
Finally, we'll ask `cmd_walken()` to use the object walk instead. Discussing
command line options is out of scope for this tutorial, so we'll just hardcode
a branch we can change at compile time. Where you call `final_rev_info_setup()`
and `walken_commit_walk()`, instead branch like so:
----
if (1) {
add_head_to_pending(&rev);
walken_object_walk(&rev);
} else {
final_rev_info_setup(argc, argv, prefix, &rev);
walken_commit_walk(&rev);
}
----
NOTE: For simplicity, we've avoided all the filters and sorts we applied in
`final_rev_info_setup()` and simply added `HEAD` to our pending queue. If you
want, you can certainly use the filters we added before by moving
`final_rev_info_setup()` out of the conditional and removing the call to
`add_head_to_pending()`.
Now we can try to run our command! It should take noticeably longer than the
commit walk, but an examination of the output will give you an idea why. Your
output should look similar to this example, but with different counts:
----
Object walk completed. Found 55733 commits, 100274 blobs, 0 tags, and 104210 trees.
----
This makes sense. We have more trees than commits because the Git project has
lots of subdirectories which can change, plus at least one tree per commit. We
have no tags because we started on a commit (`HEAD`) and while tags can point to
commits, commits can't point to tags.
NOTE: You will have different counts when you run this yourself! The number of
objects grows along with the Git project.
=== Adding a Filter
There are a handful of filters that we can apply to the object walk laid out in
`Documentation/rev-list-options.txt`. These filters are typically useful for
operations such as creating packfiles or performing a partial clone. They are
defined in `list-objects-filter-options.h`. For the purposes of this tutorial we
will use the "tree:1" filter, which causes the walk to omit all trees and blobs
which are not directly referenced by commits reachable from the commit in
`pending` when the walk begins. (`pending` is the list of objects which need to
be traversed during a walk; you can imagine a breadth-first tree traversal to
help understand. In our case, that means we omit trees and blobs not directly
referenced by `HEAD` or `HEAD`'s history, because we begin the walk with only
`HEAD` in the `pending` list.)
First, we'll need to `#include "list-objects-filter-options.h`" and set up the
`struct list_objects_filter_options` at the top of the function.
----
static void walken_object_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
{
struct list_objects_filter_options filter_options = {};
...
----
For now, we are not going to track the omitted objects, so we'll replace those
parameters with `NULL`. For the sake of simplicity, we'll add a simple
build-time branch to use our filter or not. Replace the line calling
`traverse_commit_list()` with the following, which will remind us which kind of
walk we've just performed:
----
if (0) {
/* Unfiltered: */
trace_printf(_("Unfiltered object walk.\n"));
traverse_commit_list(rev, walken_show_commit,
walken_show_object, NULL);
} else {
trace_printf(
_("Filtered object walk with filterspec 'tree:1'.\n"));
parse_list_objects_filter(&filter_options, "tree:1");
traverse_commit_list_filtered(&filter_options, rev,
walken_show_commit, walken_show_object, NULL, NULL);
}
----
`struct list_objects_filter_options` is usually built directly from a command
line argument, so the module provides an easy way to build one from a string.
Even though we aren't taking user input right now, we can still build one with
a hardcoded string using `parse_list_objects_filter()`.
With the filter spec "tree:1", we are expecting to see _only_ the root tree for
each commit; therefore, the tree object count should be less than or equal to
the number of commits. (For an example of why that's true: `git commit --revert`
points to the same tree object as its grandparent.)
=== Counting Omitted Objects
We also have the capability to enumerate all objects which were omitted by a
filter, like with `git log --filter=<spec> --filter-print-omitted`. Asking
`traverse_commit_list_filtered()` to populate the `omitted` list means that our
object walk does not perform any better than an unfiltered object walk; all
reachable objects are walked in order to populate the list.
First, add the `struct oidset` and related items we will use to iterate it:
----
static void walken_object_walk(
...
struct oidset omitted;
struct oidset_iter oit;
struct object_id *oid = NULL;
int omitted_count = 0;
oidset_init(&omitted, 0);
...
----
Modify the call to `traverse_commit_list_filtered()` to include your `omitted`
object:
----
...
traverse_commit_list_filtered(&filter_options, rev,
walken_show_commit, walken_show_object, NULL, &omitted);
...
----
Then, after your traversal, the `oidset` traversal is pretty straightforward.
Count all the objects within and modify the print statement:
----
/* Count the omitted objects. */
oidset_iter_init(&omitted, &oit);
while ((oid = oidset_iter_next(&oit)))
omitted_count++;
printf("commits %d\nblobs %d\ntags %d\ntrees%d\nomitted %d\n",
commit_count, blob_count, tag_count, tree_count, omitted_count);
----
By running your walk with and without the filter, you should find that the total
object count in each case is identical. You can also time each invocation of
the `walken` subcommand, with and without `omitted` being passed in, to confirm
to yourself the runtime impact of tracking all omitted objects.
=== Changing the Order
Finally, let's demonstrate that you can also reorder walks of all objects, not
just walks of commits. First, we'll make our handlers chattier - modify
`walken_show_commit()` and `walken_show_object()` to print the object as they
go:
----
static void walken_show_commit(struct commit *cmt, void *buf)
{
trace_printf("commit: %s\n", oid_to_hex(&cmt->object.oid));
commit_count++;
}
static void walken_show_object(struct object *obj, const char *str, void *buf)
{
trace_printf("%s: %s\n", type_name(obj->type), oid_to_hex(&obj->oid));
...
}
----
NOTE: Since we will be examining this output directly as humans, we'll use
`trace_printf()` here. Additionally, since this change introduces a significant
number of printed lines, using `trace_printf()` will allow us to easily silence
those lines without having to recompile.
(Leave the counter increment logic in place.)
With only that change, run again (but save yourself some scrollback):
----
$ GIT_TRACE=1 ./bin-wrappers/git walken | head -n 10
----
Take a look at the top commit with `git show` and the object ID you printed; it
should be the same as the output of `git show HEAD`.
Next, let's change a setting on our `struct rev_info` within
`walken_object_walk()`. Find where you're changing the other settings on `rev`,
such as `rev->tree_objects` and `rev->tree_blobs_in_commit_order`, and add the
`reverse` setting at the bottom:
----
...
rev->tree_objects = 1;
rev->blob_objects = 1;
rev->tag_objects = 1;
rev->tree_blobs_in_commit_order = 1;
rev->reverse = 1;
...
----
Now, run again, but this time, let's grab the last handful of objects instead
of the first handful:
----
$ make
$ GIT_TRACE=1 ./bin-wrappers git walken | tail -n 10
----
The last commit object given should have the same OID as the one we saw at the
top before, and running `git show <oid>` with that OID should give you again
the same results as `git show HEAD`. Furthermore, if you run and examine the
first ten lines again (with `head` instead of `tail` like we did before applying
the `reverse` setting), you should see that now the first commit printed is the
initial commit, `e83c5163`.
== Wrapping Up
Let's review. In this tutorial, we:
- Built a commit walk from the ground up
- Enabled a grep filter for that commit walk
- Changed the sort order of that filtered commit walk
- Built an object walk (tags, commits, trees, and blobs) from the ground up

Git v2.14.6 Release Notes
=========================
This release addresses the security issues CVE-2019-1348,
CVE-2019-1349, CVE-2019-1350, CVE-2019-1351, CVE-2019-1352,
CVE-2019-1353, CVE-2019-1354, and CVE-2019-1387.
Fixes since v2.14.5
-------------------
* CVE-2019-1348:
The --export-marks option of git fast-import is exposed also via
the in-stream command feature export-marks=... and it allows
overwriting arbitrary paths.
* CVE-2019-1349:
When submodules are cloned recursively, under certain circumstances
Git could be fooled into using the same Git directory twice. We now
require the directory to be empty.
* CVE-2019-1350:
Incorrect quoting of command-line arguments allowed remote code
execution during a recursive clone in conjunction with SSH URLs.
* CVE-2019-1351:
While the only permitted drive letters for physical drives on
Windows are letters of the US-English alphabet, this restriction
does not apply to virtual drives assigned via subst <letter>:
<path>. Git mistook such paths for relative paths, allowing writing
outside of the worktree while cloning.
* CVE-2019-1352:
Git was unaware of NTFS Alternate Data Streams, allowing files
inside the .git/ directory to be overwritten during a clone.
* CVE-2019-1353:
When running Git in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (also known as
"WSL") while accessing a working directory on a regular Windows
drive, none of the NTFS protections were active.
* CVE-2019-1354:
Filenames on Linux/Unix can contain backslashes. On Windows,
backslashes are directory separators. Git did not use to refuse to
write out tracked files with such filenames.
* CVE-2019-1387:
Recursive clones are currently affected by a vulnerability that is
caused by too-lax validation of submodule names, allowing very
targeted attacks via remote code execution in recursive clones.
Credit for finding these vulnerabilities goes to Microsoft Security
Response Center, in particular to Nicolas Joly. The `fast-import`
fixes were provided by Jeff King, the other fixes by Johannes
Schindelin with help from Garima Singh.

Fixes since v2.17.4
-------------------
* With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks
a scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into
providing credential information that is not appropriate for the
protocol in use and host being contacted.
Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead,
they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
credential helper handles an absent "host" parameter).
The attack has been made impossible by refusing to work with
under-specified credential patterns.
Credit for finding the vulnerability goes to Carlo Arenas.

Git 2.24 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.23
-------------------
Backward compatibility note
* "filter-branch" is showing its age and alternatives are available.
From this release, we started to discourage its use and hint
people about filter-repo.
UI, Workflows & Features
* We now have an active interim maintainer for the Git-Gui part of
the system. Praise and thank Pratyush Yadav for volunteering.
* The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the
standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options
first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user
input as non-options, has been to use "--" as the delimiter, but
that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter
between revs and pathspec.
* A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
configuration variables is introduced.
* "git fetch" learned "--set-upstream" option to help those who first
clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true
upstream via "git remote add" and then "git fetch" from it.
* Device-tree files learned their own userdiff patterns.
(merge 3c81760bc6 sb/userdiff-dts later to maint).
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" learned to drive different merge
strategies and pass strategy specific options to them.
* A new "pre-merge-commit" hook has been introduced.
* Command line completion updates for "git -c var.name=val" have been
added.
* The lazy clone machinery has been taught that there can be more
than one promisor remote and consult them in order when downloading
missing objects on demand.
* The list-objects-filter API (used to create a sparse/lazy clone)
learned to take a combined filter specification.
* The documentation and tests for "git format-patch" have been
cleaned up.
* On Windows, the root level of UNC share is now allowed to be used
just like any other directory.
* The command line completion support (in contrib/) learned about the
"--skip" option of "git revert" and "git cherry-pick".
* "git rebase --keep-base <upstream>" tries to find the original base
of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base,
which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited
variant "git rebase -x").
The command also has learned to fast-forward in more cases where it
can instead of replaying to recreate identical commits.
* A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit
graph after finishing.
* "git add -i" has been taught to show the total number of hunks and
the hunks that has been processed so far when showing prompts.
* "git fetch --jobs=<n>" allowed <n> parallel jobs when fetching
submodules, but this did not apply to "git fetch --multiple" that
fetches from multiple remote repositories. It now does.
* The installation instruction for zsh completion script (in
contrib/) has been a bit improved.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The code to write commit-graph over given commit object names has
been made a bit more robust.
* The first line of verbose output from each test piece now carries
the test name and number to help scanning with eyeballs.
* Further clean-up of the initialization code.
* xmalloc() used to have a mechanism to ditch memory and address
space resources as the last resort upon seeing an allocation
failure from the underlying malloc(), which made the code complex
and thread-unsafe with dubious benefit, as major memory resource
users already do limit their uses with various other mechanisms.
It has been simplified away.
* Unnecessary full-tree diff in "git log -L" machinery has been
optimized away.
* The http transport lacked some optimization the native transports
learned to avoid unnecessary ref advertisement, which has been
corrected.
* Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues in the test department.
(merge 0c37c41d13 bc/hash-independent-tests-part-5 later to maint).
* The memory ownership model of the "git fast-import" got
straightened out.
* Output from trace2 subsystem is formatted more prettily now.
* The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing
got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and
stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for
things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a
path is "included".
* "git stash" learned to write refreshed index back to disk.
* Coccinelle checks are done on more source files than before now.
* The cache-tree code has been taught to be less aggressive in
attempting to see if a tree object it computed already exists in
the repository.
* The code to parse and use the commit-graph file has been made more
robust against corrupted input.
* The hg-to-git script (in contrib/) has been updated to work with
Python 3.
* Update the way build artifacts in t/helper/ directory are ignored.
* Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues.
* "git log --graph" for an octopus merge is sometimes colored
incorrectly, which is demonstrated and documented but not yet
fixed.
* The trace2 output, when sending them to files in a designated
directory, can populate the directory with too many files; a
mechanism is introduced to set the maximum number of files and
discard further logs when the maximum is reached.
* We have adopted a Code-of-conduct document.
(merge 3f9ef874a7 jk/coc later to maint).
Fixes since v2.23
-----------------
* "git grep --recurse-submodules" that looks at the working tree
files looked at the contents in the index in submodules, instead of
files in the working tree.
(merge 6a289d45c0 mt/grep-submodules-working-tree later to maint).
* Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer
overflows and hardened.
(merge 5aa02f9868 jk/tree-walk-overflow later to maint).
* "git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
is getting corrected.
(merge a613d4f817 sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix later to maint).
* "git checkout" and "git restore" to re-populate the index from a
tree-ish (typically HEAD) did not work correctly for a path that
was removed and then added again with the intent-to-add bit, when
the corresponding working tree file was empty. This has been
corrected.
* Compilation fix.
(merge 70597e8386 rs/nedalloc-fixlets later to maint).
* "git gui" learned to call the clean-up procedure before exiting.
(merge 0d88f3d2c5 py/git-gui-do-quit later to maint).
* We promoted the "indent heuristics" that decides where to split
diff hunks from experimental to the default a few years ago, but
some stale documentation still marked it as experimental, which has
been corrected.
(merge 64e5e1fba1 sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental later to maint).
* Fix a mismerge that happened in 2.22 timeframe.
(merge acb7da05ac en/checkout-mismerge-fix later to maint).
* "git archive" recorded incorrect length in extended pax header in
some corner cases, which has been corrected.
(merge 71d41ff651 rs/pax-extended-header-length-fix later to maint).
* On-demand object fetching in lazy clone incorrectly tried to fetch
commits from submodule projects, while still working in the
superproject, which has been corrected.
(merge a63694f523 jt/diff-lazy-fetch-submodule-fix later to maint).
* Prepare get_short_oid() codepath to be thread-safe.
(merge 7cfcb16b0e rs/sort-oid-array-thread-safe later to maint).
* "for-each-ref" and friends that show refs did not protect themselves
against ancient tags that did not record tagger names when asked to
show "%(taggername)", which have been corrected.
(merge 8b3f33ef11 mp/for-each-ref-missing-name-or-email later to maint).
* The "git am" based backend of "git rebase" ignored the result of
updating ".gitattributes" done in one step when replaying
subsequent steps.
(merge 2c65d90f75 bc/reread-attributes-during-rebase later to maint).
* Tell cURL library to use the same malloc() implementation, with the
xmalloc() wrapper, as the rest of the system, for consistency.
(merge 93b980e58f cb/curl-use-xmalloc later to maint).
* Build fix to adjust .gitignore to unignore a path that we started to track.
(merge aac6ff7b5b js/visual-studio later to maint).
* A few implementation fixes in the notes API.
(merge 60fe477a0b mh/notes-duplicate-entries later to maint).
* Fix an earlier regression to "git push --all" which should have
been forbidden when the target remote repository is set to be a
mirror.
(merge 8e4c8af058 tg/push-all-in-mirror-forbidden later to maint).
* Fix an earlier regression in the test suite, which mistakenly
stopped running HTTPD tests.
(merge 3960290675 sg/git-test-boolean later to maint).
* "git rebase --autostash <upstream> <branch>", when <branch> is
different from the current branch, incorrectly moved the tip of the
current branch, which has been corrected.
(merge bf1e28e0ad bw/rebase-autostash-keep-current-branch later to maint).
* Update support for Asciidoctor documentation toolchain.
(merge 83b0b8953e ma/asciidoctor-refmiscinfo later to maint).
* Start using DocBook 5 (instead of DocBook 4.5) as Asciidoctor 2.0
no longer works with the older one.
(merge f6461b82b9 bc/doc-use-docbook-5 later to maint).
* The markup used in user-manual has been updated to work better with
asciidoctor.
(merge c4d2f6143a ma/user-manual-markup-update later to maint).
* Make sure the grep machinery does not abort when seeing a payload
that is not UTF-8 even when JIT is not in use with PCRE1.
(merge ad7c543e3b cb/skip-utf8-check-with-pcre1 later to maint).
* The name of the blob object that stores the filter specification
for sparse cloning/fetching was interpreted in a wrong place in the
code, causing Git to abort.
* "git log --decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" was incorrectly
overruled when the "--simplify-by-decoration" option is used, which
has been corrected.
(merge 0cc7380d88 rs/simplify-by-deco-with-deco-refs-exclude later to maint).
* The "upload-pack" (the counterpart of "git fetch") needs to disable
commit-graph when responding to a shallow clone/fetch request, but
the way this was done made Git panic, which has been corrected.
* The object traversal machinery has been optimized not to load tree
objects when we are only interested in commit history.
(merge 72ed80c784 jk/list-objects-optim-wo-trees later to maint).
* The object name parser for "Nth parent" syntax has been made more
robust against integer overflows.
(merge 59fa5f5a25 rs/nth-parent-parse later to maint).
* The code used in following tags in "git fetch" has been optimized.
(merge b7e2d8bca5 ms/fetch-follow-tag-optim later to maint).
* Regression fix for progress output.
(merge 2bb74b53a4 sg/progress-fix later to maint).
* A bug in merge-recursive code that triggers when a branch with a
symbolic link is merged with a branch that replaces it with a
directory has been fixed.
(merge 83e3ad3b12 jt/merge-recursive-symlink-is-not-a-dir-in-way later to maint).
* The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates
by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie
between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original
location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path).
Force the sorting by similarity done with a stable sort, which is
not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent
results across platforms.
(merge 2049b8dc65 js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort later to maint).
* The code to skip "UTF" and "UTF-" prefix, when computing an advice
message, did not work correctly when the prefix was "UTF", which
has been fixed.
(merge b181676ce9 rs/convert-fix-utf-without-dash later to maint).
* The author names taken from SVN repositories may have extra leading
or trailing whitespaces, which are now munged away.
(merge 4ddd4bddb1 tk/git-svn-trim-author-name later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" showed a wrong HEAD while "reword" open the editor.
(merge b0a3186140 pw/rebase-i-show-HEAD-to-reword later to maint).
* A few simplification and bugfixes to PCRE interface.
(merge c581e4a749 ab/pcre-jit-fixes later to maint).
* PCRE fixes.
(merge ff61681b46 cb/pcre1-cleanup later to maint).
* "git range-diff" segfaulted when diff.noprefix configuration was
used, as it blindly expected the patch it internally generates to
have the standard a/ and b/ prefixes. The command now forces the
internal patch to be built without any prefix, not to be affected
by any end-user configuration.
(merge 937b76ed49 js/range-diff-noprefix later to maint).
* "git stash apply" in a subdirectory of a secondary worktree failed
to access the worktree correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge dfd557c978 js/stash-apply-in-secondary-worktree later to maint).
* The merge-recursive machinery is one of the most complex parts of
the system that accumulated cruft over time. This large series
cleans up the implementation quite a bit.
(merge b657047719 en/merge-recursive-cleanup later to maint).
* Pretty-printed command line formatter (used in e.g. reporting the
command being run by the tracing API) had a bug that lost an
argument that is an empty string, which has been corrected.
(merge ce2d7ed2fd gs/sq-quote-buf-pretty later to maint).
* "git range-diff" failed to handle mode-only change, which has been
corrected.
(merge 2b6a9b13ca tg/range-diff-output-update later to maint).
* Dev support update.
(merge 4f3c1dc5d6 dl/allow-running-cocci-verbosely later to maint).
* "git format-patch -o <outdir>" did an equivalent of "mkdir <outdir>"
not "mkdir -p <outdir>", which was corrected.
* "git stash save" lost local changes to submodules, which has been
corrected.
(merge 556895d0c8 jj/stash-reset-only-toplevel later to maint).
* The atomic push over smart HTTP transport did not work, which has
been corrected.
(merge 6f1194246a bc/smart-http-atomic-push later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

Git 2.25 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.24
-------------------
Backward compatibility notes
UI, Workflows & Features
* A tutorial on object enumeration has been added.
* The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been
used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch
command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
filled.
* "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this
release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output.
* The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to
show) progress indicators.
* "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle
configuration variable, like merges would.
* The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L
placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail
address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'.
* Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting
options explicitly.
* The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has
been added.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto"
option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the
option.
* The userdiff machinery has been taught that "async def" is another
way to begin a "function" in Python.
* "git range-diff" learned to take the "--notes=<ref>" and the
"--no-notes" options to control the commit notes included in the
log message that gets compared.
* "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" run outside of any working tree did
not error out, which has been corrected.
* A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input
or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line
arguments, with the "--pathspec-from-file" option.
* "git submodule" learned a subcommand "set-url".
* "git log" family learned "--pretty=reference" that gives the name
of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
messages.
* The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
alternate object store was ill-designed. The documentation and
code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
users see failures.
* Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a
dedicated "sparse-checkout" command.
* Miscellaneous small UX improvements on "git-p4".
* "git sparse-checkout list" subcommand learned to give its output in
a more concise form when the "cone" mode is in effect.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.
* Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal
literal to (1U<<count) notation.
* Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
* Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object
parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been
cleaned up.
* The implementation of "git log --graph" got refactored and then its
output got simplified.
* Follow recent push to move API docs from Documentation/ to header
files and update config.h
* "git bundle" has been taught to use the parse options API. "git
bundle verify" learned "--quiet" and "git bundle create" learned
options to control the progress output.
* Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during
"rebase -i" has been improved.
* The beginning of rewriting "git add -i" in C.
* A label used in the todo list that are generated by "git rebase
--rebase-merges" is used as a part of a refname; the logic to come
up with the label has been tightened to avoid names that cannot be
used as such.
* The logic to avoid duplicate label names generated by "git rebase
--rebase-merges" forgot that the machinery itself uses "onto" as a
label name, which must be avoided by auto-generated labels, which
has been corrected.
* We have had compatibility fallback macro definitions for "PRIuMAX",
"PRIu32", etc. but did not for "PRIdMAX", while the code used the
last one apparently without any hiccup reported recently. The
fallback macro definitions for these <inttypes.h> macros that must
appear in C99 systems have been removed.
* Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the
usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty
means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make
sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to
these variables.
* Users of oneway_merge() (like "reset --hard") learned to take
advantage of fsmonitor to avoid unnecessary lstat(2) calls.
* Performance tweak on "git push" into a repository with many refs
that point at objects we have never heard of.
* PerfTest fix to avoid stale result mixed up with the latest round
of test results.
* Hide lower-level verify_signed-buffer() API as a pure helper to
implement the public check_signature() function, in order to
encourage new callers to use the correct and more strict
validation.
* Unnecessary reading of state variables back from the disk during
sequencer operation has been reduced.
* The code has been made to avoid gmtime() and localtime() and prefer
their reentrant counterparts.
* In a repository with many packfiles, the cost of the procedure that
avoids registering the same packfile twice was unnecessarily high
by using an inefficient search algorithm, which has been corrected.
* Redo "git name-rev" to avoid recursive calls.
* FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI has been added.
Fixes since v2.24
-----------------
* "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier
update, which has been corrected.
* "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.
* When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
been corrected.
* Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
and repository global refs apart.
(merge f45f88b2e4 sg/dir-trie-fixes later to maint).
* "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out
mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.
(merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint).
* "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path
when run in a secondary worktree.
(merge 76a53d640f js/git-path-head-dot-lock-fix later to maint).
* "git merge --no-commit" needs "--no-ff" if you do not want to move
HEAD, which has been corrected in the manual page for "git bisect".
(merge 8dd327b246 ma/bisect-doc-sample-update later to maint).
* "git worktree add" internally calls "reset --hard" that should not
descend into submodules, even when submodule.recurse configuration
is set, but it was affected. This has been corrected.
(merge 4782cf2ab6 pb/no-recursive-reset-hard-in-worktree-add later to maint).
* Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes
without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked
around.
(merge 116d1fa6c6 js/vreportf-wo-buffering later to maint).
* HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which
has been corrected.
* The watchman integration for fsmonitor was racy, which has been
corrected to be more conservative.
(merge dd0b61f577 kw/fsmonitor-watchman-fix later to maint).
* Fetching from multiple remotes into the same repository in parallel
had a bad interaction with the recent change to (optionally) update
the commit-graph after a fetch job finishes, as these parallel
fetches compete with each other. Which has been corrected.
* Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index
when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected.
* "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects
when I ask if something exists" switch. This has been corrected by
marking the "does this thing exist?" calls with "if not please do not
lazily fetch it" flag.
* Test update to avoid wasted cycles.
(merge e0316695ec sg/skip-skipped-prereq later to maint).
* Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and
waits for the response to the remote side has been improved.
(merge ad7a403268 jk/send-pack-remote-failure later to maint).
* Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated
based on end-user input have been corrected.
(merge a376e37b2c jk/gitweb-anti-xss later to maint).
* CI jobs for macOS has been made less chatty when updating perforce
package used during testing.
(merge 0dbc4a0edf jc/azure-ci-osx-fix-fix later to maint).
* "git unpack-objects" used to show progress based only on the number
of received and unpacked objects, which stalled when it has to
handle an unusually large object. It now shows the throughput as
well.
(merge bae60ba7e9 sg/unpack-progress-throughput later to maint).
* The sequencer machinery compared the HEAD and the state it is
attempting to commit to decide if the result would be a no-op
commit, even when amending a commit, which was incorrect, and
has been corrected.
* The code to parse GPG output used to assume incorrectly that the
finterprint for the primary key would always be present for a valid
signature, which has been corrected.
(merge 67a6ea6300 hi/gpg-optional-pkfp-fix later to maint).
* "git submodule status" and "git submodule status --cached" show
different things, but the documentation did not cover them
correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge 8d483c8408 mg/doc-submodule-status-cached later to maint).
* "git reset --patch $object" without any pathspec should allow a
tree object to be given, but incorrectly required a committish,
which has been corrected.
* "git submodule status" that is run from a subdirectory of the
superproject did not work well, which has been corrected.
(merge 1f3aea22c7 mg/submodule-status-from-a-subdirectory later to maint).
* The revision walking machinery uses resources like per-object flag
bits that need to be reset before a new iteration of walking
begins, but the resources related to topological walk were not
cleared correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge 0aa0c2b2ec mh/clear-topo-walk-upon-reset later to maint).
* TravisCI update.
(merge 176441bfb5 sg/osx-force-gcc-9 later to maint).
* While running "revert" or "cherry-pick --edit" for multiple
commits, a recent regression incorrectly detected "nothing to
commit, working tree clean", instead of replaying the commits,
which has been corrected.
(merge befd4f6a81 sg/assume-no-todo-update-in-cherry-pick later to maint).
* Work around a issue where a FD that is left open when spawning a
child process and is kept open in the child can interfere with the
operation in the parent process on Windows.
* One kind of progress messages were always given during commit-graph
generation, instead of following the "if it takes more than two
seconds, show progress" pattern, which has been corrected.
* "git rebase" did not work well when format.useAutoBase
configuration variable is set, which has been corrected.
* The "diff" machinery learned not to lose added/removed blank lines
in the context when --ignore-blank-lines and --function-context are
used at the same time.
(merge 0bb313a552 rs/xdiff-ignore-ws-w-func-context later to maint).
* The test on "fast-import" used to get stuck when "fast-import" died
in the middle.
(merge 0d9b0d7885 sg/t9300-robustify later to maint).
* "git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values
to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the
output. The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple
--notes command line options, which has been corrected.
(merge e0f9095aaa dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup later to maint).
* "git p4" used to ignore lfs.storage configuration variable, which
has been corrected.
(merge ea94b16fb8 rb/p4-lfs later to maint).
* Assorted fixes to the directory traversal API.
(merge 6836d2fe06 en/fill-directory-fixes later to maint).
* Forbid pathnames that the platform's filesystem cannot represent on
MinGW.
(merge 4dc42c6c18 js/mingw-reserved-filenames later to maint).
* "git rebase --signoff" stopped working when the command was written
in C, which has been corrected.
(merge 4fe7e43c53 en/rebase-signoff-fix later to maint).
* An earlier update to Git for Windows declared that a tree object is
invalid if it has a path component with backslash in it, which was
overly strict, which has been corrected. The only protection the
Windows users need is to prevent such path (or any path that their
filesystem cannot check out) from entering the index.
(merge 224c7d70fa js/mingw-loosen-overstrict-tree-entry-checks later to maint).
* The code to write split commit-graph file(s) upon fetching computed
bogus value for the parameter used in splitting the resulting
files, which has been corrected.
(merge 63020f175f ds/commit-graph-set-size-mult later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

Git 2.25.1 Release Notes
========================
Fixes since v2.25
-----------------
* "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints
configuration variable, which has been corrected.
* has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the
system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with
read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an
empty tree from promisor remotes.
* The code that tries to skip over the entries for the paths in a
single directory using the cache-tree was not careful enough
against corrupt index file.
* Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over
"git checkout" that was done only half-way.
* Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the
stateless RPC mechanism.
* "git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree
structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which
has been corrected.
* The code recently added to move to the entry beyond the ones in the
same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode did not count
the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which has been
corrected.
* Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in
libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions
of gcc and clang.
* "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation.
* Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for
performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory
enumeration API has been corrected.
* "git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of
the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or
the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these
settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode.
* Technical details of the bundle format has been documented.
* Unhelpful warning messages during documentation build have been
squelched.
Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.

Git 2.25.2 Release Notes
========================
Fixes since v2.25.1
-------------------
* Minor bugfixes to "git add -i" that has recently been rewritten in C.
* An earlier update to show the location of working tree in the error
message did not consider the possibility that a git command may be
run in a bare repository, which has been corrected.
* The "--recurse-submodules" option of various subcommands did not
work well when run in an alternate worktree, which has been
corrected.
* Running "git rm" on a submodule failed unnecessarily when
.gitmodules is only cache-dirty, which has been corrected.
* "git rebase -i" identifies existing commits in its todo file with
their abbreviated object name, which could become ambigous as it
goes to create new commits, and has a mechanism to avoid ambiguity
in the main part of its execution. A few other cases however were
not covered by the protection against ambiguity, which has been
corrected.
* The index-pack code now diagnoses a bad input packstream that
records the same object twice when it is used as delta base; the
code used to declare a software bug when encountering such an
input, but it is an input error.
* The code to automatically shrink the fan-out in the notes tree had
an off-by-one bug, which has been killed.
* "git check-ignore" did not work when the given path is explicitly
marked as not ignored with a negative entry in the .gitignore file.
* The merge-recursive machinery failed to refresh the cache entry for
a merge result in a couple of places, resulting in an unnecessary
merge failure, which has been fixed.
* Fix for a bug revealed by a recent change to make the protocol v2
the default.
* "git merge signed-tag" while lacking the public key started to say
"No signature", which was utterly wrong. This regression has been
reverted.
* MinGW's poll() emulation has been improved.
* "git show" and others gave an object name in raw format in its
error output, which has been corrected to give it in hex.
* Both "git ls-remote -h" and "git grep -h" give short usage help,
like any other Git subcommand, but it is not unreasonable to expect
that the former would behave the same as "git ls-remote --head"
(there is no other sensible behaviour for the latter). The
documentation has been updated in an attempt to clarify this.
Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.

Git 2.26 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.25
-------------------
Backward compatibility notes
* "git rebase" uses a different backend that is based on the 'merge'
machinery by default. There are a few known differences in the
behaviour from the traditional machinery based on patch+apply.
If your workflow is negatively affected by this change, please
report it to git@vger.kernel.org so that we can take a look into
it. After doing so, you can set the 'rebase.backend' configuration
variable to 'apply', in order to use the old default behaviour in
the meantime.
UI, Workflows & Features
* Sample credential helper for using .netrc has been updated to work
out of the box.
* gpg.minTrustLevel configuration variable has been introduced to
tell various signature verification codepaths the required minimum
trust level.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete
subcommands and arguments to "git worktree".
* Disambiguation logic to tell revisions and pathspec apart has been
tweaked so that backslash-escaped glob special characters do not
count in the "wildcards are pathspec" rule.
* One effect of specifying where the GIT_DIR is (either with the
environment variable, or with the "git --git-dir=<where> cmd"
option) is to disable the repository discovery. This has been
placed a bit more stress in the documentation, as new users often
get confused.
* Two help messages given when "git add" notices the user gave it
nothing to add have been updated to use advise() API.
* A new version of fsmonitor-watchman hook has been introduced, to
avoid races.
* "git config" learned to show in which "scope", in addition to in
which file, each config setting comes from.
* The basic 7 colors learned the brighter counterparts
(e.g. "brightred").
* "git sparse-checkout" learned a new "add" subcommand.
* A configuration element used for credential subsystem can now use
wildcard pattern to specify for which set of URLs the entry
applies.
* "git clone --recurse-submodules --single-branch" now uses the same
single-branch option when cloning the submodules.
* "git rm" and "git stash" learns the new "--pathspec-from-file"
option.
* "git am --show-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail
for the stopped step, which is not suitable to directly feed "git
apply" (it is designed to be a good "git am" input). It learned a
new option to show only the patch part.
* Handling of conflicting renames in merge-recursive have further
been made consistent with how existing codepaths try to mimic what
is done to add/add conflicts.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Tell .editorconfig that in this project, *.txt files are indented
with tabs.
* The test-lint machinery knew to check "VAR=VAL shell_function"
construct, but did not check "VAR= shell_function", which has been
corrected.
* Replace "git config --bool" calls with "git config --type=bool" in
sample templates.
* The effort to move "git-add--interactive" to C continues.
* Improve error message generation for "git submodule add".
* Preparation of test scripts for the day when the object names will
use SHA-256 continues.
* Warn programmers about pretend_object_file() that allows the code
to tentatively use in-core objects.
* The way "git pack-objects" reuses objects stored in existing pack
to generate its result has been improved.
* The transport protocol version 2 becomes the default one.
* Traditionally, we avoided threaded grep while searching in objects
(as opposed to files in the working tree) as accesses to the object
layer is not thread-safe. This limitation is getting lifted.
* "git rebase -i" (and friends) used to unnecessarily check out the
tip of the branch to be rebased, which has been corrected.
* A low-level API function get_oid(), that accepts various ways to
name an object, used to issue end-user facing error messages
without l10n, which has been updated to be translatable.
* Unneeded connectivity check is now disabled in a partial clone when
fetching into it.
* Some rough edges in the sparse-checkout feature, especially around
the cone mode, have been cleaned up.
* The diff-* plumbing family of subcommands now pay attention to the
diff.wsErrorHighlight configuration, which has been ignored before;
this allows "git add -p" to also show the whitespace problems to
the end user.
* Some codepaths were given a repository instance as a parameter to
work in the repository, but passed the_repository instance to its
callees, which has been cleaned up (somewhat).
* Memory footprint and performance of "git name-rev" has been
improved.
* The object reachability bitmap machinery and the partial cloning
machinery were not prepared to work well together, because some
object-filtering criteria that partial clones use inherently rely
on object traversal, but the bitmap machinery is an optimization
to bypass that object traversal. There however are some cases
where they can work together, and they were taught about them.
* "git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the
machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing
"--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral
equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend
configuration variable can be set to customize.
* Underlying machinery of "git bisect--helper" is being refactored
into pieces that are more easily reused.
Fixes since v2.25
-----------------
* "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints

* Rendering by "git log --graph" of ancestry lines leading to a merge
commit were made suboptimal to waste vertical space a bit with a
recent update, which has been corrected.
* Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in
libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions
of gcc and clang.
* Minor bugfixes to "git add -i" that has recently been rewritten in C.
* "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation.
* "git checkout X" did not correctly fail when X is not a local
branch but could name more than one remote-tracking branches
(i.e. to be dwimmed as the starting point to create a corresponding
local branch), which has been corrected.
(merge fa74180d08 am/checkout-file-and-ref-ref-ambiguity later to maint).
* Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for
performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory
enumeration API has been corrected.
* A fetch that is told to recursively fetch updates in submodules
inevitably produces reams of output, and it becomes hard to spot
error messages. The command has been taught to enumerate
submodules that had errors at the end of the operation.
(merge 0222540827 es/fetch-show-failed-submodules-atend later to maint).
* The "--recurse-submodules" option of various subcommands did not
work well when run in an alternate worktree, which has been
corrected.
* Futureproofing a test not to depend on the current implementation
detail.
* Running "git rm" on a submodule failed unnecessarily when
.gitmodules is only cache-dirty, which has been corrected.
* C pedantry ;-) fix.
* "git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of
the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or
the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these
settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode.

not covered by the protection against ambiguity, which has been

* Allow the rebase.missingCommitsCheck configuration to kick in when
"rebase --edit-todo" and "rebase --continue" restarts the procedure.
(merge 5a5445d878 ag/edit-todo-drop-check later to maint).
* The way "git submodule status" reports an initialized but not yet
populated submodule has not been reimplemented correctly when a
part of the "git submodule" command was rewritten in C, which has
been corrected.
(merge f38c92452d pk/status-of-uncloned-submodule later to maint).
* The code to automatically shrink the fan-out in the notes tree had
an off-by-one bug, which has been killed.
* The index-pack code now diagnoses a bad input packstream that
records the same object twice when it is used as delta base; the
code used to declare a software bug when encountering such an
input, but it is an input error.
* The code to compute the commit-graph has been taught to use a more
robust way to tell if two object directories refer to the same
thing.
(merge a7df60cac8 tb/commit-graph-object-dir later to maint).
* "git remote rename X Y" needs to adjust configuration variables
(e.g. branch.<name>.remote) whose value used to be X to Y.
branch.<name>.pushRemote is now also updated.
* Update to doc-diff.
* Doc markup fix.
* "git check-ignore" did not work when the given path is explicitly
marked as not ignored with a negative entry in the .gitignore file.
* The merge-recursive machinery failed to refresh the cache entry for
a merge result in a couple of places, resulting in an unnecessary
merge failure, which has been fixed.
* Fix for a bug revealed by a recent change to make the protocol v2
the default.
* In rare cases "git worktree add <path>" could think that <path>
was already a registered worktree even when it wasn't and refuse
to add the new worktree. This has been corrected.
(merge bb69b3b009 es/worktree-avoid-duplication-fix later to maint).
* "git push" should stop from updating a branch that is checked out
when receive.denyCurrentBranch configuration is set, but it failed
to pay attention to checkouts in secondary worktrees. This has
been corrected.
(merge 4d864895a2 hv/receive-denycurrent-everywhere later to maint).
* "git rebase BASE BRANCH" rebased/updated the tip of BRANCH and
checked it out, even when the BRANCH is checked out in a different
worktree. This has been corrected.
(merge b5cabb4a96 es/do-not-let-rebase-switch-to-protected-branch later to maint).
* "git describe" in a repository with multiple root commits sometimes
gave up looking for the best tag to describe a given commit with
too early, which has been adjusted.
* "git merge signed-tag" while lacking the public key started to say
"No signature", which was utterly wrong. This regression has been
reverted.
* MinGW's poll() emulation has been improved.
* "git show" and others gave an object name in raw format in its
error output, which has been corrected to give it in hex.
* "git fetch" over HTTP walker protocol did not show any progress
output. We inherently do not know how much work remains, but still
we can show something not to bore users.
(merge 7655b4119d rs/show-progress-in-dumb-http-fetch later to maint).
* Both "git ls-remote -h" and "git grep -h" give short usage help,

feature.*::
The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
feature.experimental::
Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
features. The new default values are:
+
* `pack.useSparse=true` uses a new algorithm when constructing a pack-file
which can improve `git push` performance in repos with many files.
+
* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
+
* `fetch.writeCommitGraph=true` writes a commit-graph after every `git fetch`
command that downloads a pack-file from a remote. Using the `--split` option,
most executions will create a very small commit-graph file on top of the
existing commit-graph file(s). Occasionally, these files will merge and the
write may take longer. Having an updated commit-graph file helps performance
of many Git commands, including `git merge-base`, `git push -f`, and
`git log --graph`.
feature.manyFiles::
Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
`git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
+
* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.

* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
that mtime is working on your machine.

Note that raising this limit is only effective for disabling chunked
transfer encoding and therefore should be used only where the remote
server or a proxy only supports HTTP/1.0 or is noncompliant with the
HTTP standard. Raising this is not, in general, an effective solution
for most push problems, but can increase memory consumption
significantly since the entire buffer is allocated even for small
pushes.
