From cdbd70c43773d534aa81ea2c83905a45ff0e74e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2019 13:25:26 -0700 Subject: fetch: add --[no-]show-forced-updates argument After updating a set of remove refs during a 'git fetch', we walk the commits in the new ref value and not in the old ref value to discover if the update was a forced update. This results in two things happening during the command: 1. The line including the ref update has an additional "(forced-update)" marker at the end. 2. The ref log for that remote branch includes a bit saying that update is a forced update. For many situations, this forced-update message happens infrequently, or is a small bit of information among many ref updates. Many users ignore these messages, but the calculation required here slows down their fetches significantly. Keep in mind that they do not have the opportunity to calculate a commit-graph file containing the newly-fetched commits, so these comparisons can be very slow. Add a '--[no-]show-forced-updates' option that allows a user to skip this calculation. The only permanent result is dropping the forced-update bit in the reflog. Include a new fetch.showForcedUpdates config setting that allows this behavior without including the argument in every command. The config setting is overridden by the command-line arguments.
