The logic to select the default user name and e-mail on Windows has
been improved.
* js/mingw-default-ident:
mingw: use domain information for default email
getpwuid(mingw): provide a better default for the user name
getpwuid(mingw): initialize the structure only once
"git p4 unshelve" improvements.
* ld/p4-unshelve:
git-p4: fully support unshelving changelists
git-p4: unshelve into refs/remotes/p4-unshelved, not refs/remotes/p4/unshelved
git-p4: do not fail in verbose mode for missing 'fileSize' key
The documentation of "git gc" has been updated to mention that it
is no longer limited to "pruning away crufts" but also updates
ancillary files like commit-graph as a part of repository
optimization.
* ab/gc-doc-update:
gc doc: mention the commit-graph in the intro
An experiment to fuzz test a few areas, hopefully we can gain more
coverage to various areas.
* js/fuzzer:
fuzz: add fuzz testing for packfile indices.
fuzz: add basic fuzz testing target.
"git cmd --help" when "cmd" is aliased used to only say "cmd is
aliased to ...". Now it shows that to the standard error stream
and runs "git $cmd --help" where $cmd is the first word of the
alias expansion.
This could be misleading for those who alias a command with options
(e.g. with "[alias] cpn = cherry-pick -n", "git cpn --help" would
show the manual of "cherry-pick", and the reader would not be told
to pay close attention to the part that describes the "--no-commit"
option until closing the pager that showed the contents of the
manual, if the pager is configured to restore the original screen,
or would not be told at all, if the pager simply makes the message
on the standard error scroll away.
* rv/alias-help:
git-help.txt: document "git help cmd" vs "git cmd --help" for aliases
git.c: handle_alias: prepend alias info when first argument is -h
help: redirect to aliased commands for "git cmd --help"
"git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
parent commits, which has been corrected.
* np/log-graph-octopus-fix:
log: fix coloring of certain octopus merge shapes
The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.
* sg/split-index-racefix:
split-index: BUG() when cache entry refers to non-existing shared entry
split-index: smudge and add racily clean cache entries to split index
split-index: don't compare cached data of entries already marked for split index
split-index: count the number of deleted entries
t1700-split-index: date back files to avoid racy situations
split-index: add tests to demonstrate the racy split index problem
t1700-split-index: document why FSMONITOR is disabled in this test script
The result of coverage test can be combined with "git blame" to
check the test coverage of code introduced recently with a new
'coverage-diff' tool (in contrib/).
* ds/coverage-diff:
contrib: add coverage-diff script
To help developers, an EditorConfig file that attempts to follow
the project convention has been added.
* bc/editorconfig:
editorconfig: indicate settings should be kept in sync
editorconfig: provide editor settings for Git developers
Various subtree fixes.
* rs/subtree-fixes:
subtree: performance improvement for finding unexpected parent commits
subtree: improve decision on merges kept in split
subtree: use commits before rejoins for splits
subtree: make --ignore-joins pay attention to adds
subtree: refactor split of a commit into standalone method
In a partial clone that will lazily be hydrated from the
originating repository, we generally want to avoid "does this
object exist (locally)?" on objects that we deliberately omitted
when we created the clone. The cache-tree codepath (which is used
to write a tree object out of the index) however insisted that the
object exists, even for paths that are outside of the partial
checkout area. The code has been updated to avoid such a check.
* jt/cache-tree-allow-missing-object-in-partial-clone:
cache-tree: skip some blob checks in partial clone
When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.
* tb/filter-alternate-refs:
transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsPrefixes
transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsCommand
transport.c: extract 'fill_alternate_refs_command'
transport: drop refnames from for_each_alternate_ref
Over some transports, fetching objects with an exact commit object
name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements. The
code has been optimized to exploit this.
* jt/avoid-ls-refs:
fetch: do not list refs if fetching only hashes
transport: list refs before fetch if necessary
transport: do not list refs if possible
transport: allow skipping of ref listing
A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects. The request has been
optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
no blobs are needed.
* jt/non-blob-lazy-fetch:
fetch-pack: exclude blobs when lazy-fetching trees
fetch-pack: avoid object flags if no_dependents
The oidset API was built on top of the oidmap API which in turn is
on the hashmap API. Replace the implementation to build on top of
the khash API and gain performance.
* rs/oidset-on-khash:
oidset: uninline oidset_init()
oidset: use khash
khash: factor out kh_release_*
fetch-pack: load tip_oids eagerly iff needed
fetch-pack: factor out is_unmatched_ref()
Unlike "grep", "git grep" by default recurses to the whole tree.
The command learned "git grep --recursive" option, so that "git
grep --no-recursive" can serve as a synonym to setting the
max-depth to 0.
* rs/grep-no-recursive:
grep: add -r/--[no-]recursive
"git help -a" and "git help -av" give different pieces of
information, and generally the "verbose" version is more friendly
to the new users. "git help -a" by default now uses the more
verbose output (with "--no-verbose", you can go back to the
original). Also "git help -av" now lists aliases and external
commands, which it did not used to.
* nd/help-commands-verbose-by-default:
help -a: improve and make --verbose default
"git fetch $repo $object" in a partial clone did not correctly
fetch the asked-for object that is referenced by an object in
promisor packfile, which has been fixed.
* jt/fetch-tips-in-partial-clone:
fetch: in partial clone, check presence of targets
connected: document connectivity in partial clones
"git status" learns to show progress bar when refreshing the index
takes a long time.
* nd/status-refresh-progress:
status: show progress bar if refreshing the index takes too long

ieot: add Index Entry Offset Table (IEOT) extension
read-cache: load cache extensions on a worker thread
config: add new index.threads config setting
eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension

read-cache.c: optimize reading index format v4
Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git
used during tests are getting renamed for consistency.
* bp/rename-test-env-var:
t0000: do not get self-test disrupted by environment warnings
preload-index: update GIT_FORCE_PRELOAD_TEST support
read-cache: update TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION support
fsmonitor: update GIT_TEST_FSMONITOR support

t7501: add test of "commit --dry-run --short"
wt-status: rename commitable to committable
wt-status.c: move has_unmerged earlier in the file
Various codepaths in the core-ish part learn to work on an

The code in "git status" sometimes hit an assertion failure. This
was caused by a structure that was reused without cleaning the data
used for the first run, which has been corrected.
