* read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variantsJohannes Schindelin2014-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the repository directory. But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path(). We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows, we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows, though.

But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the "submodule.<name>.ignore" settings, which then disable the summary partly or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented. Extend the documentation in those places where "status.submodulesummary", "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and "submodule.<name>.ignore" are described to better explain these dependencies.

They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing progress and resetting the keepalive timer. We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of 5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider the connection hung.

Normally we would see (and send to the client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect, pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed). Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung. This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are still working on it.

This prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the command-line, and this may distract users from the real content. Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix. Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

Some people want to always run "git fetch --prune". To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables "fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune": - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations. - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote. The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune option from the command line will override the configured default. Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by default.

In order to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions. Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables. Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8, 79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

This path can be overriden by the --smtp-ssl-cert-path command line option and the sendemail.smtpSSLCertPath configuration variable.

This attempts to finish that topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the remote repository to be updated by such a push. The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular" workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated. . 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the remote repository that the current branch fetches from and integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow. . 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and will be the safe default in Git 2.0. In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from the central repository). In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid surprises in some way. * jc/triangle-push-fixup: t/t5528-push-default: test pushdefault workflows t/t5528-push-default: generalize test_push_* push: change `simple` to accommodate triangular workflows config doc: rewrite push.default section t/t5528-push-default: remove redundant test_config lines

The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as before. However, the `simple` does not have to share this error. It is poised to be the default for Git 2.0, and we would like it to do something sensible in triangular workflows. Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow. We may want to make it "safer current", but that is a separate issue.

Rewrite the descriptions of `nothing`, `current`, `upstream` and `matching` for greater clarity, and explicitly explain how they should behave in triangular workflows. Leave `simple` as it is for the moment, as we plan to change its meaning to accommodate triangular workflows in a later patch.

Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step, which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value, hence should not be the default. These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors. A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git" already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in beginner-oriented documentations. A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not harmed by it. The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.
