* Allow helper to map private ref names into normal namesDaniel Barkalow2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | This allows a helper to say that, when it handles "import refs/heads/topic", the script it outputs will actually write to refs/svn/origin/branches/topic; therefore, transport-helper should read it from the latter location after git-fast-import completes.

* Add support for "import" helper commandDaniel Barkalow2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This command, supported if the "import" capability is advertized, allows a helper to support fetching by outputting a git-fast-import stream. If both "fetch" and "import" are advertized, git itself will use "fetch" (although other users may use "import" in this case).

* Allow specifying the remote helper in the urlJohannes Schindelin2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | The common case for remote helpers will be to import some repository which can be specified by a single URL.

* Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcsDaniel Barkalow2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses a helper named "git-remote-<value>". It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that method may be used directly.

* Allow fetch to modify refsDaniel Barkalow2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows the transport to use the null sha1 for a ref reported to be present in the remote repository to indicate that a ref exists but its actual value is presently unknown and will be set if the objects are fetched. Also adds documentation to the API to specify exactly what the methods should do and how they should interpret arguments.

* Use a function to determine whether a remote is validDaniel Barkalow2009-11-17

* Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urlsDaniel Barkalow2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For fetch and ls-remote, which use the first url of a remote, have transport_get() determine this by passing a remote and passing NULL for the url. For push, which uses every url of a remote, use each url in turn if there are any, and use NULL if there are none. This will allow the transport code to do something different if the location is not specified with a url. Also, have the message for a fetch say "foreign" if there is no url.

| * help -a: do not unnecessarily look for a repositoryJohannes Schindelin2009-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although 'git help -a' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git repository and uses no repository-specific information, it looks for a git directory. On 'git <TAB><TAB>' the bash completion runs 'git help -a' and unnecessary searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount environments. With this commit, 'git help' no longer searches for a repository when run with the -a option.

If there is no next argument or an invalid one, very confusing error messages appear (the line was '.'; path to git-rebase-todo substituted): Unknown command: . fatal: ambiguous argument 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions fatal: Not a valid object name Please fix this in the file $somefile. fatal: bad revision 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.' Instead, verify the validity of the remaining line and error out earlier if necessary.

| * | Do not try to remove directories when removing old linksSebastian Schuberth2009-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building Git with MSVC on Windows, directories named after the Git alias are created for the output files, e.g. there is a "git-merge-index" directory next to the "git-merge-index.exe" executable in the build root. Previously, "make all" just checked if "git-merge-index" and "git-merge-index.exe" are the same file, and if not, tried to remove "git-merge-index". This fails in the case of "git-merge-index" being a directory, which is why this is checked now.

* | | commit: More generous accepting of RFC-2822 footer lines.David Brown2009-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'git commit -s' will insert a blank line before the Signed-off-by line at the end of the message, unless this last line is a Signed-off-by line itself. Common use has other trailing lines at the ends of commit text, in the style of RFC2822 headers. Be more generous in considering lines to be part of this footer. If the last paragraph of the commit message reasonably resembles RFC-2822 formatted lines, don't insert that blank line. The new Signed-off-by line is still only suppressed when the author's existing Signed-off-by is the last line of the message.

Developers who wanted to make sure that git correctly dealt with packfiles could deliberately trigger their creation and checked them after they were created carefully, but loose objects are the ones that are written by various commands from random codepaths. It made some technical sense to have a mode that checked only loose objects from the debugging point of view for that reason. Even for git developers, there no longer is any reason to type "git fsck" every five minutes these days, worried that some newly created objects might be corrupt due to recent change to git. The reason we did not make "--full" the default is probably we trust our filesystems a bit too much. At least, we trusted filesystems more than we trusted the lower core part of git that was under development. Once a packfile is created and we always use it read-only, there didn't seem to be much point in suspecting that the underlying filesystems or disks may corrupt them in such a way that is not caught by the SHA-1 checksum over the entire packfile and per object checksum. That trust in the filesystems might have been a good tradeoff between fsck performance and reliability on platforms git was initially developed on and for, but it may not be true anymore as we run on many more platforms these days.
