Add a "[no-]" prefix to options without the flag PARSE_OPT_NONEG to
document the fact that you can negate them.
This looks a bit strange for options that already start with "no-", e.g.
for the option --no-name of git show-branch:
--[no-]no-name suppress naming strings
You can actually use --no-no-name as an alias of --name, so the short
help is not wrong. If we strip off any of the "no-"s, we lose either
the ability to see if the remaining one belongs to the documented
variant or to see if it can be negated.

With roughly 800 remotes all fetching into their own
refs/remotes/$REMOTE/* island, the connectivity check[1] gets
expensive for each fetch on systems which lack sufficient RAM to
cache objects.
To do a no-op fetch on one $REMOTE out of hundreds, hideRefs now
allows the no-op fetch to take ~30 seconds instead of ~20 minutes
on a noisy, RAM-constrained machine (localhost, so no network latency):
git -c fetch.hideRefs=refs \
-c fetch.hideRefs='!refs/remotes/$REMOTE/' \
fetch $REMOTE
[1] `git rev-list --objects --stdin --not --all --quiet --alternate-refs'

git rev-parse has several options which print various paths. Some of
these paths are printed relative to the current working directory, and
some are absolute.
Normally, this is not a problem, but there are times when one wants
paths entirely in one format or another. This can be done trivially if
the paths are canonical, but canonicalizing paths is not possible on
some shell scripting environments which lack realpath(1) and also in Go,
which lacks functions that properly canonicalize paths on Windows.
To help out the scripter, let's provide an option which turns most of
the paths printed by git rev-parse to be either relative to the current
working directory or absolute and canonical. Document which options are
affected and which are not so that users are not confused.
This approach is cleaner and tidier than providing duplicates of
existing options which are either relative or absolute.
Note that if the user needs both forms, it is possible to pass an
additional option in the middle of the command line which changes the
behavior of subsequent operations.

We taught rev-list a new way to separate options from revisions in
19e8789b23 (revision: allow --end-of-options to end option parsing,
2019-08-06), but rev-parse uses its own parser. It should know about
--end-of-options not only for consistency, but because it may be
presented with similarly ambiguous cases. E.g., if a caller does:
git rev-parse "$rev" -- "$path"
to parse an untrusted input, then it will get confused if $rev contains
an option-like string like "--local-env-vars". Or even "--not-real",
which we'd keep as an option to pass along to rev-list.
Or even more importantly:
git rev-parse --verify "$rev"
can be confused by options, even though its purpose is safely parsing
untrusted input. On the plus side, it will always fail the --verify
part, as it will not have parsed a revision, so the caller will
generally "fail closed" rather than continue to use the untrusted
string. But it will still trigger whatever option was in "$rev"; this
should be mostly harmless, since rev-parse options are all read-only,
but I didn't carefully audit all paths.
This patch lets callers write:
git rev-parse --end-of-options "$rev" -- "$path"
and:
git rev-parse --verify --end-of-options "$rev"
which will both treat "$rev" always as a revision parameter. The latter
is a bit clunky. It would be nicer if we had defined "--verify" to
require that its next argument be the revision. But we have not
historically done so, and:
git rev-parse --verify -q "$rev"
does currently work. I added a test here to confirm that we didn't break
that.
A few implementation notes:
- We don't document --end-of-options explicitly in commands, but rather
in gitcli(7). So I didn't give it its own section in git-rev-parse(1).
But I did call it out specifically in the --verify section, and
include it in the examples, which should show best practices.
- We don't have to re-indent the main option-parsing block, because we
can combine our "did we see end of options" check with "does it start
with a dash". The exception is the pre-setup options, which need
their own block.
- We do however have to pull the "--" parsing out of the "does it start
with dash" block, because we want to parse it even if we've seen
--end-of-options.
- We'll leave "--end-of-options" in the output. This is probably not
technically necessary, as a careful caller will do:
git rev-parse --end-of-options $revs -- $paths
and anything in $revs will be resolved to an object id. However, it
does help a slightly less careful caller like:
git rev-parse --end-of-options $revs_or_paths
where a path "--foo" will remain in the output as long as it also
exists on disk. In that case, it's helpful to retain --end-of-options
to get passed along to rev-list, s it would otherwise see just
"--foo".

Ever since it was introduced in 7cceca5ccc (Add 'git rev-parse
--show-toplevel' option., 2010-01-12), the --show-toplevel option has
treated a missing working tree as a quiet success: it neither prints a
toplevel path, but nor does it report any kind of error.
While a caller could distinguish this case by looking for an empty
response, the behavior is rather confusing. We're better off complaining
that there is no working tree, as other internal commands would do in
similar cases (e.g., "git status" or any builtin with NEED_WORK_TREE set
would just die()). So let's do the same here.
While we're at it, let's clarify the documentation and add some tests,
both for the new behavior and for the more mundane case (which was not
covered).

Add an option to print the object format used for input, output, or
storage. This allows shell scripts to discover the hash algorithm in
use.
Since the transition plan allows for multiple input algorithms, document
that we may provide multiple results for input, and the format that the
results may take. While we don't support this now, documenting it early
means that script authors can future-proof their scripts for when we do.

The output of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' can be either a relative or an
absolute path, depending on whether the current working directory is
at the top of the worktree or the .git directory or not, or how the
path to the repository is specified via the '--git-dir=<path>' option
or the $GIT_DIR environment variable. And if that output is a
relative path, then it is relative to the directory where any 'git
-C <path>' options might have led us.
This doesn't matter at all for regular scripts, because the git
wrapper automatically takes care of changing directories according to
the '-C <path>' options, and the scripts can then simply follow any
path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', even if it's a relative
path.
Our Bash completion script, however, is unique in that it must run
directly in the user's interactive shell environment. This means that
it's not executed through the git wrapper and would have to take care
of any '-C <path> options on its own, and it can't just change
directories as it pleases. Consequently, adding support for taking
any '-C <path>' options on the command line into account during
completion turned out to be considerably more difficult, error prone
and required more subshells and git processes when it had to cope with
a relative path to the .git directory.
Help this rather special use case and teach 'git rev-parse' a new
'--absolute-git-dir' option which always outputs a canonicalized
absolute path to the .git directory, regardless of whether the path is
discovered automatically or is specified via $GIT_DIR or 'git
--git-dir=<path>'.

A line in the input to "rev-parse --parseopt" describes an option by
listing a short and/or long name, optional flags [*=?!], argument hint,
and then whitespace and help string.
We did not allow any of the [*=?!] characters in the argument hints.
The following input
pair=key=value equals sign in the hint
used to generate a help line like this:
--pair=key <value> equals sign in the hint
and used to expect "pair=key" as the argument name.
That is not very helpful as we generally do not want any of the [*=?!]
characters in the argument names. But we do want to use at least the
equals sign in the argument hints.
Update the parser to make long argument names stop at the first [*=?!]
character.
Add test case with equals sign in the argument hint and update the test
to perform all the operations in test_expect_success matching the
t/README requirements and allowing commands like
./t1502-rev-parse-parseopt.sh --run=1-2
to stop at the test case 2 without any further modification of the test
state area.

Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more
consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative
formatter) happier.
* jk/asciidoc-markup-fix:
doc: convert AsciiDoc {?foo} to ifdef::foo[]
doc: put example URLs and emails inside literal backticks
doc: drop backslash quoting of some curly braces
doc: convert \--option to --option
doc/add: reformat `--edit` option
doc: fix length of underlined section-title
doc: fix hanging "+"-continuation
doc: fix unquoted use of "{type}"
doc: fix misrendering due to `single quote'
|
|
Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
literal backslash.

Curly braces open an "attribute" in AsciiDoc; if there's no
such attribute, strange things may happen. In this case, the
unquoted "{type}" causes AsciiDoc to omit an entire line of
text from the output. We can fix it by putting the whole
phrase inside literal backticks (which also lets us get rid
of ugly backslash escaping).

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via
environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or
git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use
get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file()
respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for
example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in
sha1_file.c).
This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those
environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar,
git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done
for the two remaining env variables.
"git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use.
This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup
instead of xmalloc + sprintf - 2014-06-19) because using git_pathdup
here would result in infinite recursion:
setup_git_env() -> git_pathdup("objects") -> .. -> adjust_git_path()
-> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set
yet -> setup_git_env()
I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path().
But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is
introduced, git_pathdup_literal("objects") needs adjust_git_path() to
replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

Contrary to the default form (non stuck arguments and short options),
this can be parsed unambiguously when using options with optional
arguments :
- in the non stuck form, when an option is taking an optional argument
you cannot know if the next argument is its optional argument, or the
next option.

"rev-parse --verify" was documented in a misleading way.

rev-parse: clarify documentation for the --verify option
|

The old version could be read to mean that the argument has to refer
to a valid object, but that is incorrect:
* the object is not necessarily read (e.g., to check for corruption)
* if the argument is a 40-digit string of hex digits, then it is
accepted whether or not is is the name of an existing object.
So reword the explanation to be less ambiguous.
Also fix the examples involving --verify: to be sure that the argument
refers to a commit (rather than some other kind of object), the
argument has to be suffixed with "^{commit}". This trick is not
possible in the example involving --default, so don't imply that it is
exactly the same as the previous example.

rev-parse doc: --git-dir does not always show a relative path
|
|
The description was misleading because it lead the reader to believe
that --git-dir would always show a relative path when, in fact, the
actual behaviour does not guarantee this.
Rather, it was intended that the advice be given that if a relative
path is shown, then the path is relative to the current working
directory and not some other directory (for example, the root of the
working tree).

In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.
Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.
While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented
example
eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)"
the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary
whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed
into a single space.
This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since
47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval
consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling
arguments containing e.g. newlines.
Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the

It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.
This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:
- most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer
paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
"refs/heads/").
- in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).
- In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using

not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to

escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.
The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.
setup_gdg does the following now:
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
GIT_DIR is set to cwd
see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
also see the note below
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
cwd is used as work tree
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
the specified work tree is used
Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.
Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:
(1) is_bare_repository
A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
named .git). The bare option disables a few protective
checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently
this changes if a repository is bare:
updates of HEAD are allowed
git gc packs the refs
the reflog is disabled by default
(2) is_inside_work_tree
True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
is one), false otherwise.
(3) is_inside_git_dir
True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
repositories.
When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.
inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795:
In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice.
The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to
A.
However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the
manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C! I.e.,
he inverts the tree.
And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is
not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).

To name a commit, you can now say
$ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"'
and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose
commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix.
For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated
specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with
a '!', just repeat the exclamation mark. So, to match a commit
which starts with '!Hello World', use
$ git show ':/!!Hello World'

This is a shorthand for "<rev> --not <rev>^@", i.e. "include
this commit but exclude any of its parents".
When a new file $F is introduced by revision $R, this notation
can be used to find a copy-and-paste from existing file in the
parents of that revision without annotating the ancestry of the
lines that were copied from:
git pickaxe -f -C $R^! -- $F

Nobody should create ambiguous refs (i.e. have tag "foobar" and branch
"foobar" at the same time) that need to be disambiguated with these
rules to keep sanity, but the rules are there so document them.

Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is
meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm.
Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now
appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name
in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications
which indicate a point in time within the local repository's
history. If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in
$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated
by the specification is obtained from the ref's log.

"git branch" uses "rev-parse --all" and becomes much too slow when

When --show-prefix is useful, sometimes it is easier to cd up to
the toplevel of the tree. This is equivalent to:
git rev-parse --show-prefix | sed -e 's|[^/][^/]*|..|g'
