2016-09-21Merge branch 'jk/reduce-gc-aggressive-depth'Junio C Hamano
"git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250, which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to 50. * jk/reduce-gc-aggressive-depth: gc: default aggressive depth to 50
2016-09-21Merge branch 'et/add-chmod-x'Junio C Hamano
"git add --chmod=+x" added recently lacked documentation, which has been corrected. * et/add-chmod-x: add: document the chmod option
2016-09-21Merge branch 'js/cat-file-filters'Junio C Hamano
Even though "git hash-objects", which is a tool to take an on-filesystem data stream and put it into the Git object store, allowed to perform the "outside-world-to-Git" conversions (e.g. end-of-line conversions and application of the clean-filter), and it had the feature on by default from very early days, its reverse operation "git cat-file", which takes an object from the Git object store and externalize for the consumption by the outside world, lacked an equivalent mechanism to run the "Git-to-outside-world" conversion. The command learned the "--filters" option to do so. * js/cat-file-filters: cat-file: support --textconv/--filters in batch mode cat-file --textconv/--filters: allow specifying the path separately cat-file: introduce the --filters option cat-file: fix a grammo in the man page

The "git diff --submodule={short,log}" mechanism has been enhanced to allow "--submodule=diff" to show the patch between the submodule commits bound to the superproject. * jk/diff-submodule-diff-inline: diff: teach diff to display submodule difference with an inline diff submodule: refactor show_submodule_summary with helper function submodule: convert show_submodule_summary to use struct object_id * allow do_submodule_path to work even if submodule isn't checked out diff: prepare for additional submodule formats graph: add support for --line-prefix on all graph-aware output diff.c: remove output_prefix_length field cache: add empty_tree_oid object and helper function

2016-09-11cat-file: support --textconv/--filters in batch modeJohannes Schindelin
With this patch, --batch can be combined with --textconv or --filters. For this to work, the input needs to have the form <object name><single white space><path> so that the filters can be chosen appropriately.

2016-09-11cat-file --textconv/--filters: allow specifying the path separatelyJohannes Schindelin
There are circumstances when it is relatively easy to figure out the object name for a given path, but not the name of the containing tree. For example, when looking at a diff generated by Git, the object names are recorded, but not the revision. As a matter of fact, the revisions from which the diff was generated may not even exist locally. In such a case, the user would have to generate a fake revision just to be able to use --textconv or --filters. Let's simplify this dramatically, because we do not really need that revision at all: all we care about is that we know the path. In the scenario described above, we do know the path, and we just want to specify it separately from the object name. Example usage: git cat-file --textconv --path=main.c 0f1937fd Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-09-11cat-file: introduce the --filters optionJohannes Schindelin
The --filters option applies the convert_to_working_tree() filter for the path when showing the contents of a regular file blob object; the contents are written out as-is for other types of objects. This feature comes in handy when a 3rd-party tool wants to work with the contents of files from past revisions as if they had been checked out, but without detouring via temporary files.

2016-09-09Merge branch 'sb/submodule-clone-rr'Junio C Hamano
"git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing $path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able. * sb/submodule-clone-rr: clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates clone: implement optional references clone: clarify option_reference as required clone: factor out checking for an alternate path submodule--helper update-clone: allow multiple references submodule--helper module-clone: allow multiple references t7408: merge short tests, factor out testing method t7408: modernize style

2016-09-09Merge branch 'jk/push-force-with-lease-creation' into maintJunio C Hamano
"git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow ensuring that such a push results in creation of a ref (i.e. the receiving end did not have another push from sideways that would be discarded by our force-pushing), but didn't expose this possibility to the users. It does so now. * jk/push-force-with-lease-creation: t5533: make it pass on case-sensitive filesystems push: allow pushing new branches with --force-with-lease push: add shorthand for --force-with-lease branch creation Documentation/git-push: fix placeholder formatting

2016-09-01diff: teach diff to display submodule difference with an inline diffJacob Keller
Teach git-diff and friends a new format for displaying the difference of a submodule. The new format is an inline diff of the contents of the submodule between the commit range of the update. This allows the user to see the actual code change caused by a submodule update. Add tests for the new format and option.

2016-09-01graph: add support for --line-prefix on all graph-aware outputJacob Keller
Add an extension to git-diff and git-log (and any other graph-aware displayable output) such that "--line-prefix=<string>" will print the additional line-prefix on every line of output. To make this work, we have to fix a few bugs in the graph API that force graph_show_commit_msg to be used only when you have a valid graph. Additionally, we extend the default_diff_output_prefix handler to work even when no graph is enabled. This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it should be acceptable here. This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which displays the submodule diff as the actual diff between the pre and post commit in the submodule project. Add some tests for both git-log and git-diff to ensure that the prefix is honored correctly. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Receive-pack feeds its input to either index-pack or unpack-objects, which will happily accept as many bytes as a sender is willing to provide.
