* git-daemon got safer for kernel.org use [HPA].

* http transport does not barf on funny characters in URL.

* The ref naming restrictions have been formalized and the
  coreish refuses to create funny refs; we still need to audit
  importers.  See git-check-ref-format(1).

New Features and Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* .git/config file as a per-repository configuration mechanism,
  and some commands understand it [Linus].  See
  git(7).

* The core.filemode configuration item can be used to make us a

* .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2} directories are created on demand,
  and removed when becomes empty after prune-packed [Linus].

* Filenames output from various commands without -z option are
  quoted when they embed funny characters (TAB and LF) using
  C-style quoting within double-quotes, to match the proposed
  GNU diff/patch notation [me, but many people contributed in
  the discussion].

* git-mv is expected to be a better replacement for git-rename.
  While the latter has two parameter restriction, it acts more
  like the regular 'mv' that can move multiple things to one
  destinatino directory [Josef Weidendorfer].

* git-checkout can take filenames to revert the changes to
  them.  See git-checkout(1)

* The new program git-am is a replacement for git-applymbox that
  has saner command line options and a bit easier to use when a
  patch does not apply cleanly.

* git-ls-remote can show unwrapped onions using ^{} notation, to
  help Cogito to track tags.

* git-merge-recursive backend can merge unrelated projects.

* git-clone over native transport leaves the result packed.

* git-http-fetch issues multiple requests in parallel when
  underlying cURL library supports it [Nick and Daniel].

* git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack try harder to figure out
  better common commits [Johannes].

* git-read-tree -u removes a directory when it makes it empty.

* git-diff-* records abbreviated SHA1 names of original and
  resulting blob; this sometimes helps to apply otherwise an
  unapplicable patch by falling back to 3-way merge.

* git-format-patch now takes series of from..to rev ranges and
  with '-m --stdout', writes them out to the standard output.
  This can be piped to 'git-am' to implement cheaper
  cherry-picking.

* git-tag takes '-u' to specify the tag signer identity [Linus].

* git-rev-list can take optional pathspecs to skip commits that

ancestors of acknowledged common commits, which was just taking

Therefore, do not use git-rev-list on the fetching side, but rather
construct the list on the go. Send the revisions starting from the

19 years agoBe more careful about reference parsing
Linus Torvalds [Fri, 28 Oct 2005 19:41:49 +0000 (12:41 -0700)]
Be more careful about reference parsing

This does two things:

 - we don't allow "." and ".." as components of a refname. Thus get_sha1()
   will not accept "./refname" as being the same as "refname" any more.

 - git-rev-parse stops doing revision translation after seeing a pathname,
   to match the brhaviour of all the tools (once we see a pathname,
   everything else will also be parsed as a pathname).

Basically, if you did

git log *

and "gitk" was somewhere in the "*", we don't want to replace the filename
"gitk" with the SHA1 of the branch with the same name.

Of course, if there is any change of ambiguity, you should always use "--"
to make it explicit what are filenames and what are revisions, but this
makes the normal cases sane. The refname rule also means that instead of
the "--", you can do the same thing we're used to doing with filenames
that start with a slash: use "./filename" instead, and now it's a
filename, not an option (and not a revision).

So "git log ./*.c" is now actually a perfectly valid thing to do, even if
the first C-file might have the same name as a branch.

Trivial test:

git-rev-parse gitk ./gitk gitk

should output something like

9843c3074dfbf57117565f6b7c93e3e6812857ee
./gitk
gitk

where the "./gitk" isn't seen as a revision, and the second "gitk" is a
filename simply because we've seen filenames already, and thus stopped
doing revision parsing.

19 years agoBe marginally more careful about removing objects
Linus Torvalds [Fri, 28 Oct 2005 16:45:53 +0000 (09:45 -0700)]
Be marginally more careful about removing objects

The git philosophy when it comes to disk accesses is "Laugh in the face of
danger".

Notably, since we never modify an existing object, we don't really care
that deeply about flushing things to disk, since even if the machine
crashes in the middle of a git operation, you can never really have lost
any old work. At most, you'd need to figure out the proper heads (which
git-fsck-objects can do for you) and re-do the operation.

However, there's two exceptions to this: pruning and repacking. Those
operations will actually _delete_ old objects that they know about in
other ways (ie that they just repacked, or that they have found in other
places).

However, since they actually modify old state, we should thus be a bit
more careful about them. If the machine crashes and the duplicate new
objects haven't been flushed to disk, you can actually be in trouble.

This is trivially stupid about it by calling "sync" before removing the
objects. Not very smart, but we're talking about special operations than
are usually done once a week if that.

19 years ago[PATCH] Make "gitk" work better with dense revlists
Linus Torvalds [Tue, 25 Oct 2005 20:01:42 +0000 (13:01 -0700)]
[PATCH] Make "gitk" work better with dense revlists

To generate the diff for a commit, gitk used to do

git-diff-tree -p -C $p $id

(and same thing to generate filenames, except using just "-r" there) which
does actually generate the diff from the parent to the $id, exactly like
it meant to do.

However, that really sucks with --dense, where the "parent" information
has all been rewritten to point to the previous commit. The diff actually
works exactly right, but now it's the diff of the _whole_ sequence of
commits all the way to the previous commit that last changed the file(s)
that we are looking at.

And that's really not what we want 99.9% of the time, even if it may be
perfectly sensible. Not only will the diff not actually match the commit
message, but it will usually be _huge_, and all of it will be totally
uninteresting to us, since we were only interested in a particular set of
files.

It also doesn't match what we do when we write the patch to a file.

So this makes gitk just show the diff of _that_ commit.

We might even want to have some way to limit the diff to only the
filenames we're interested in, but it's often nice to see what else
changed at the same time, so that's secondary.

The merge diff handling is left alone, although I think that should also
be changed to only look at what that _particular_ merge did, not what it
did when compared to the faked-out parents.

19 years agogit-rev-list: do not forget non-commit refs
Linus Torvalds [Wed, 26 Oct 2005 15:18:13 +0000 (08:18 -0700)]
git-rev-list: do not forget non-commit refs

What happens is that the new logic decides that if it can't look up a
commit reference (ie "get_commit_reference()" returns NULL), the thing
must be a pathname.

Fair enough.

But wrong.

The thing is, it may be a perfectly fine ref that _isn't_ a commit. In
git, you have a tag that points to your PGP key, and in the kernel, I have
a tag that points to a tree (and a direct ref that points to that tree
too, for that matter).

So the rule is (as for all the other programs that mix revs and pathnames)
not that we only accept commit references, but _any_ valid object ref.

If the object then isn't a commit ref, git-rev-list will either ignore it,
or add it to the list of non-commit objects (if using "--objects").

The solution is to move the "get_sha1()" out of get_commit_reference(),
and into the callers. In fact, we already _have_ the SHA1 in the case of
the handle_all() loop, since for_each_ref() will have done it for us, so
this is the correct thing to do anyway.

This patch (on top of the original one) does exactly that.
