To make our tests portable, we check that we have a way to both gzip and gunzip, and we respected environment variables to point to alternate commands for doing these operations. However, the $GZIP variable did not actually do anything, as changing it would not affect the baked-in value in archive-tar.c. Moreover, setting the variable $GZIP influences gzip itself. From the gzip man page: The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default options for gzip. These options are interpreted first and can be overwritten by explicit command line parameters. We could rename this variable, and use it to set up custom config (or even have a Makefile knob to affect the built binary), but it is not worth the trouble; nobody has ever reported a problem with the baked-in default, and they can always change it via config if they need to. Let's just drop the variable and use "gzip" in the test (keeping the prerequisite, of course). While we're at it, we can drop the GUNZIP variable and prerequisite; it uses "gzip -d", so if we have GZIP, we will have both. We can also use test_lazy_prereq for the gzip prerequisite, which is simpler and behaves more consistently with the rest of git (e.g., by making output available when the test is run with "-v").

The harm: - When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell. - Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script. - Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start with a #! line. The good: - Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in place. The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh" suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments. This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!" (see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17). Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and Clemens Buchacher for further analysis. Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line: find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable | while read file do read line <"$file" case $line in '#!'*) echo "$file" ;; esac done The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts (unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests (t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

(using whatever shell sources them) instead of run directly using the interpreter named on the #! line. Removing the #! line shouldn't hurt syntax highlighting since these files have filenames ending with '.sh'. For documentation, add a brief description of how the files are meant to be used in place of the shebang line.

(According to the mailing list discussion when it was moved to contrib/, git-p4import has serious bugs --- e.g., its incremental mode just doesn't work.) Since then, git p4 has been actively developed and was promoted to a standard git command alongside git svn. Searches on google.com/trends and stackoverflow suggest that no one is looking for git-p4import any more. Remove it. Noticed while considering marking the contrib/p4import/git-p4import.py script executable as part of a wider sweep.

It contains too much explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base). Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short paragraphs. In return, provide much longer examples of how it fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it compares to reading the same from git-log. Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does not mean something that comes from git-merge(1). Instead, say "apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow concepts. While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream branch we treat as the default. I literally just learned that we support having several, so let's not confuse new users here, especially considering that git-config(1) does not document this.

Use a variable-sized array instead. This in particular fixes the symptoms git-svn had when storing large numbers of svn-remote.*.added-placeholder entries in the config file. While the tests are rather more paranoid than just --unset and --replace-all, the other operations already worked. Indeed git-svn's usage only breaks the first time *after* creating so many entries, when it wants to unset and re-add them all.

There is a small bug when updating references opportunistically, namely that an explicit user wish like git fetch origin \ refs/heads/branch1:refs/remotes/origin/branch2 \ refs/heads/branch2:refs/remotes/origin/branch1 should override a configured refspec like +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* The current code incorrectly treats this as a fatal error. In a few commits we will improve the error messages for refspec conflicts in general and also turn this buggy fatal error into a warning.

Instead, just call string_list_insert() right away. If an entry for that peer reference name already existed, then its util pointer is always non-NULL. Of course this doesn't change the fact that the repeated string_list_insert() calls make the function scale like O(N^2) if the input reference list is not already approximately sorted.

In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only to be fetched, but also to be pruned. This is inappropriate because there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local repository and all remotes. Therefore, if the user defines a local tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is deleted. Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in tag lossage. Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the same problem. The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent with that of the other commands. So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags. To fix this problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line or via remote.<name>.fetch. Thus, tags are no longer made subject to pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting. However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as part of a refspec, and that is good. For example: * On the command line, git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old behavior of "--prune --tag". * For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the configuration is set to include [remote "name"] fetch = +refs/*:refs/* , which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other references. This is the behavior that will typically be desired for a mirror. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

But it is not very useful to fetch tags without also fetching other references, whereas it *is* quite useful to be able to fetch tags *in addition to* other references. So change the semantics of this option to do the latter. If a user wants to fetch *only* tags, then it is still possible to specifying an explicit refspec: git fetch <remote> 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' Please note that the documentation prior to 1.8.0.3 was ambiguous about this aspect of "fetch --tags" behavior. Commit f0cb2f137c 2012-12-14 fetch --tags: clarify documentation made the documentation match the old behavior. This commit changes the documentation to match the new behavior.
