By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command
collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before
this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In
"git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for
getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not
really count.
A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed
anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay
because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and
without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable.
There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before
"git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as
well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over
command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a
man page for external commands anyway.

It is possible to configure 'less', the pager, to use an alternate

Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial
ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of
capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability
advertisement. A client can then request that a particular command be
executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific
parameters. At the completion of a command, a client can request that
another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a

Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config.
We have several getters and some are guaranteed to give at most one line
of output. Paging all getters including those could be convenient from a
documentation point-of-view. The downside would be that a misconfigured
or not so modern pager might wait for user interaction before
terminating. Let's instead respect the config for precisely those
getters which may produce more than one line of output.
`--get-urlmatch` may or may not produce multiple lines of output,
depending on the exact usage. Let's not try to recognize the two modes,
but instead make `--get-urlmatch` always respect the config. Analyzing
the detailed usage might be trivial enough here, but could establish a
precedent that we will never be able to enforce throughout the codebase
and that will just open a can of worms.
This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the

Some commands (most notably "git status") makes an opportunistic
update when performing a read-only operation to help optimize later
operations in the same repository. The new "--no-optional-locks"
option can be passed to Git to disable them.
* jk/no-optional-locks:
git: add --no-optional-locks option
Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run
commands like "git status" in the background to keep track
of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may
refresh the index and write out the result in an
opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they
update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if
not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be
recomputed by the next caller.
But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations
in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing
themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words,
"git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is
holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status
would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it.
There are a couple possible solutions:
1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other
commands to tell status that they want the lock.
This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to
implement (and maybe even impossible with just
dotlocks to work from, as it requires some
inter-process communication).
2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status"
that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring
instead plumbing like diff-files, etc.
This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that
"status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the
repository state than is available from individual
plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_
want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to
take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands
like diff-files expect us to refresh the index
separately and write it to disk so that they can depend
on the result. But that write is exactly what we're
trying to avoid.
3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index.
This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any
work done in refreshing the index for such a call is
lost when the process exits. So a background process
may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times
until the user runs a command that does an index
refresh themselves.
This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test)
is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes
Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the
index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that
instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes
a "git" option and matching environment variable.
The reason there is two-fold:
1. An environment variable is carried through to
sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a
background process or not should apply to the whole
process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks
foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls
"status", you'll still get the effect.
2. There may be other programs that want the same
treatment.
I've punted here on finding more callers to convert,
since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated
background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh
of the index may be a good candidate.
The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating
Johannes's explanation:
Note that the regression test added in this commit does
not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written;
that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we
verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git
status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

"git grep --recurse-submodules" has been reworked to give a more

config: add config_from_gitmodules
cache.h: add GITMODULES_FILE macro
repository: have the_repository use the_index
repo_read_index: don't discard the index
When running, e.g., `git -c alias.bar=foo bar`, we expand the alias and
execute `git-foo` as a dashed external. This is true even if git foo is
a builtin. That is on purpose, and is motivated in a comment which was
added in commit 441981bc ("git: simplify environment save/restore
logic", 2016-01-26).
Shortly before we launch a dashed external, and unless we have already
found out whether we should use a pager, we check `pager.foo`. This was
added in commit 92058e4d ("support pager.* for external commands",
2011-08-18). If the dashed external is a builtin, this does not match
that commit's intention and is arguably wrong, since it would be cleaner
if we let the "dashed external builtin" handle `pager.foo`.
This has not mattered in practice, but a recent patch taught `git-tag`
to ignore `pager.tag` under certain circumstances. But, when started
using an alias, it doesn't get the chance to do so, as outlined above.
That recent patch added a test to document this breakage.
Do not check `pager.foo` before launching a builtin as a dashed
external, i.e., if we recognize the name of the external as a builtin.

Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will
probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work,
at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`.
Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore
`pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own.
Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode.
There is a window between where the pager is started before and after
this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different
before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen
inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager
is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should
be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages.
Update the documentation and update tests.
If an alias is used to run `git tag -a`, then `pager.tag` will still be
respected. Document this known breakage. It will be fixed in a later
commit. Add a similar test for `-l`, which works.

Provide setup_auto_pager(), which builtins can call in order to handle
`pager.<cmd>`, including possibly starting the pager. Make this function
don't do anything if a pager has already been started, as indicated by
use_pager or pager_in_use().
Whenever this function is called from a builtin, git.c will already have
called commit_pager_choice(). Since commit_pager_choice() treats the
special value -1 as "punt" or "not yet decided", it is not a problem
that we might end up calling commit_pager_choice() once in git.c and
once (or more) in the builtin. Make the new function use -1 in the same

Before launching a builtin git foo and unless mechanisms with precedence
are in use, we check for and handle the `pager.foo` config. This is done
without considering exactly how git foo is being used, and indeed, git.c
cannot (and should not) know what the arguments to git foo are supposed
to achieve.
In practice this means that, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag`

and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and
`git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a`

to respect `pager.foo`, introduce a flag DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG. If the flag
is set, do not check `pager.foo`.
Do not check for DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG in `execv_dashed_external()`. That
call site is arguably wrong, although in a way that is not yet visible,
and will be changed in a slightly different direction in a later patch.

Instead of discovering the .git/ directory, reading the config and then
trying to painstakingly reset all the global state if we did not find a
matching alias, let's use the early config machinery instead.
It may look like unnecessary work to discover the .git/ directory in the
early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the
case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery *again*.
However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains
*not* to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly
changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR
variables to be set.
This change also fixes a known issue where Git tried to read the pager

Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite
its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point
of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from
performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where
we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX.
Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed
the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and
instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally
never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop.
To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other
benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*.
The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends
to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most
affected by the performance penalties mentioned above.
In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer
to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git
rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper.
Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the
technical debt.
Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient
--ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not
persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.

"git read-tree" and its underlying unpack_trees() machinery learned
to report problematic paths prefixed with the --super-prefix option.
* sb/unpack-trees-super-prefix:
unpack-trees: support super-prefix option
t1001: modernize style
t1000: modernize style
read-tree: use OPT_BOOL instead of OPT_SET_INT
Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C.
* js/difftool-builtin:
difftool: hack around -Wzero-length-format warning
difftool: retire the scripted version
difftool: implement the functionality in the builtin
difftool: add a skeleton for the upcoming builtin
In the future we want to support working tree operations within submodules,
e.g. "git checkout --recurse-submodules", which will update the submodule
to the commit as recorded in its superproject. In the submodule the
unpack-tree operation is carried out as usual, but the reporting to the
user needs to prefix any path with the superproject. The mechanism for
this is the super-prefix. (see 74866d757, git: make super-prefix option)
Add support for the super-prefix option for commands that unpack trees
by wrapping any path output in unpacking trees in the newly introduced
super_prefixed function. This new function prefixes any path with the
super-prefix if there is one. Assuming the submodule case doesn't happen
in the majority of the cases, we'd want to have a fast behavior for no
super prefix, i.e. no reallocation/copying, but just returning path.
Another aspect of introducing the `super_prefixed` function is to consider
who owns the memory and if this is the right place where the path gets
modified. As the super prefix ought to change the output behavior only and
not the actual unpack tree part, it is fine to be that late in the line.
As we get passed in 'const char *path', we cannot change the path itself,
which means in case of a super prefix we have to copy over the path.
We need two static buffers in that function as the error messages
contain at most two paths.
For testing purposes enable it in read-tree, which has no output
of paths other than an unpack-trees.c. These are all converted in
this patch.

It served its purpose, but now we have a builtin difftool. Time for the

Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and
took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree
structure. This has been fixed.
* jk/execv-dashed-external:
execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death
execv_dashed_external: stop exiting with negative code
execv_dashed_external: use child_process struct
"git grep" has been taught to optionally recurse into submodules.
* bw/grep-recurse-submodules:
grep: search history of moved submodules
grep: enable recurse-submodules to work on <tree> objects
grep: optionally recurse into submodules
grep: add submodules as a grep source type
submodules: load gitmodules file from commit sha1
submodules: add helper to determine if a submodule is initialized
submodules: add helper to determine if a submodule is populated
real_path: canonicalize directory separators in root parts
real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath
real_path: create real_pathdup
real_path: convert real_path_internal to strbuf_realpath
real_path: resolve symlinks by hand
This adds a builtin difftool that still falls back to the legacy Perl
version, which has been renamed to `legacy-difftool`.
The idea is that the new, experimental, builtin difftool immediately hands
off to the legacy difftool for now, unless the config variable
difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.
This feature flag will be used in the upcoming Git for Windows v2.11.0
release, to allow early testers to opt-in to use the builtin difftool and
flesh out any bugs.
