2020-09-09refs: add GIT_TRACE_REFS debugging mechanismHan-Wen Nienhuys
When set in the environment, GIT_TRACE_REFS makes git print operations and results as they flow through the ref storage backend. This helps debug discrepancies between different ref backends. Example: $ GIT_TRACE_REFS="1" ./git branch 15:42:09.769631 refs/debug.c:26 ref_store for .git 15:42:09.769681 refs/debug.c:249 read_raw_ref: HEAD: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (=> refs/heads/ref-debug) type 1: 0 15:42:09.769695 refs/debug.c:249 read_raw_ref: refs/heads/ref-debug: 3a238e539bcdfe3f9eb5010fd218640c1b499f7a (=> refs/heads/ref-debug) type 0: 0 15:42:09.770282 refs/debug.c:233 ref_iterator_begin: refs/heads/ (0x1) 15:42:09.770290 refs/debug.c:189 iterator_advance: refs/heads/b4 (0) 15:42:09.770295 refs/debug.c:189 iterator_advance: refs/heads/branch3 (0) Signed-off-by: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-09-01git.txt: correct stale 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' descriptionPhilippe Blain
In fde97d8ac6 (Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS example., 2006-11-27), the description of the 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' variable was moved from 'diff-format.txt' to 'git.txt', and the documentation was updated to remove a 'diff(1)' invocation since Git did not use an external diff program anymore by default. However, the description of 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' still mentions "instead of the diff invocation described above", which is confusing. Correct that outdated sentence. Also, link to git(1) in 'diff-generate-patch.txt' when GIT_DIFF_OPTS and GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF are mentioned, so that users can easily know what these variables are about.

2020-08-25Merge branch 'ma/doc-sha-256-is-experimental'Junio C Hamano
The recent addition of SHA-256 support is marked as experimental in the documentation. * ma/doc-sha-256-is-experimental: Documentation: mark `--object-format=sha256` as experimental
2020-08-17Documentation: mark `--object-format=sha256` as experimentalMartin Ågren
After eff45daab8 ("repository: enable SHA-256 support by default", 2020-07-29), vanilla builds of Git enable the user to run, e.g., git init --object-format=sha256 and hack away. This can be a good way to gain experience with the SHA-256 world, e.g., to find bugs that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 make test doesn't spot. But it really is a separate world: Such SHA-256 repos will live entirely separate from the (by now fairly large) set of SHA-1 repos. Interacting across the border is possible in principle, e.g., through "diff + apply" (or "format-patch + am"), but even that has its limitations: Applying a SHA-256 diff in a SHA-1 repo works in the simple case, but if you need to resort to `-3`, you're out of luck. Similarly, "push + pull" should work, but you really will be operating mostly offset from the rest of the world. That might be ok by the time you initialize your repository, and it might be ok for several months after that, but there might come a day when you're starting to regret your use of `git init --object-format=sha256` and have dug yourself into a fairly deep hole. There are currently topics in flight to document our data formats and protocols regarding SHA-256 and in some cases (midx and commit-graph), we're considering adjusting how the file formats indicate which object format to use. Wherever `--object-format` is mentioned in our documentation, let's make it clear that using it with "sha256" is experimental. If we later need to explain why we can't handle data we generated back in 2020, we can always point to this paragraph we're adding here. By "include::"-ing a small blurb, we should be able to be consistent throughout the documentation and can eventually gradually tone down the severity of this text. One day, we might even use it to start phasing out `--object-format=sha1`, but let's not get ahead of ourselves... There's also `extensions.objectFormat`, but it's only mentioned three times. Twice where we're adding this new disclaimer and in the third spot we already have a "do not edit" warning. From there, interested readers should eventually find this new one that we're adding here. Because `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` provides another entry point to this functionality, document the experimental nature of it too.

2020-08-05git.txt: add list of guidesPhilippe Blain
Not all man5/man7 guides are mentioned in the 'git(1)' documentation, which makes the missing ones somewhat hard to find. Add a list of the guides to git(1) by leveraging the existing `Documentation/cmd-list.perl` script to generate a file `cmds-guide.txt` which gets included in git.txt. Also, do not hard-code the manual section '1'. Instead, use a regex so that the manual section is discovered from the first line of each `git*.txt` file. This addition was hinted at in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides, 2018-05-20).

In trace output (when GIT_TRACE_CURL is true), redact the values of all HTTP cookies by default. Now that auth headers (since the implementation of GIT_TRACE_CURL in 74c682d3c6 ("http.c: implement the GIT_TRACE_CURL environment variable", 2016-05-24)) and cookie values (since this commit) are redacted by default in these traces, also allow the user to inhibit these redactions through an environment variable.

Whenever GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is set, teach Git to behave as if GIT_TRACE_CURL=1 and GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA=1 is set, instead of setting CURLOPT_VERBOSE. This is to prevent inadvertent revelation of sensitive data. In particular, GIT_CURL_VERBOSE redacts neither the "Authorization" header nor any cookies specified by GIT_REDACT_COOKIES. Unifying the tracing mechanism also has the future benefit that any improvements to the tracing mechanism will benefit both users of GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and GIT_TRACE_CURL, and we do not need to remember to implement any improvement twice.

2020-02-24builtin/init-db: add environment variable for new repo hashbrian m. carlson
For the foreseeable future, SHA-1 will be the default algorithm for Git. However, when running the testsuite, we want to be able to test an arbitrary algorithm. It would be quite burdensome and very untidy to have to specify the algorithm we'd like to test every time we initialized a new repository somewhere in the testsuite, so add an environment variable to allow us to specify the default hash algorithm for Git. This has the benefit that we can set it once for the entire testsuite and not have to think about it. In the future, users can also use it to set the default for their repositories if they would like to do so.

One effect of specifying where the GIT_DIR is (either with the environment variable, or with the "git --git-dir=<where> cmd" option) is to disable the repository discovery.

2020-01-30git: update documentation for --git-dirHeba Waly
git --git-dir <path> is a bit confusing and sometimes doesn't work as the user would expect it to. For example, if the user runs `git --git-dir=<path> status`, git will skip the repository discovery algorithm and will assign the work tree to the user's current work directory unless otherwise specified. When this assignment is wrong, the output will not match the user's expectations. This patch updates the documentation to make it clearer.

2020-01-22doc: move author and committer information to git-commit(1)brian m. carlson
While at one time it made perfect sense to store information about configuring author and committer information in the documentation for git commit-tree, in modern Git that operation is seldom used. Most users will use git commit and expect to find comprehensive documentation about its use in the manual page for that command. Considering that there is significant confusion about how one is to use the user.name and user.email variables, let's put as much documentation as possible into an obvious place where users will be more likely to find it. In addition, expand the environment variables section to describe their use more fully. Even though we now describe all of the options there and in the configuration settings documentation, preserve the existing text in git-commit.txt so that people can easily reason about the ordering of the various options they can use.

2019-11-27progress: create GIT_PROGRESS_DELAYDerrick Stolee
The start_delayed_progress() method is a preferred way to show optional progress to users as it ignores steps that take less than two seconds. However, this makes testing unreliable as tests expect to be very fast. In addition, users may want to decrease or increase this time interval depending on their preferences for terminal noise. Create the GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY environment variable to control the delay set during start_delayed_progress(). Set the value in some tests to guarantee their output remains consistent.

The descriptions of the GIT_TRACE2* environment variables link to the technical docs for further details on the supported values. However, a link like this only really works if the docs are viewed in a browser and the full documentation is available. OTOH, in 'man git' there are no links to conveniently click on, and distro-shipped git packages tend to include only the man pages, while the technical docs and the docs in html format are in a separate 'git-doc' package. So let's describe the supported values to make the manpage more self-contained, but still keep the references to the technical docs because the details of the SID, and the JSON and perf output formats are definitely beyond the scope of 'man git'.

2019-05-28trace2: rename environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*SZEDER Gábor
For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly. Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR, GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for. But what does TR stand for? Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation, transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree, trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?! The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility. It's reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'. All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the 'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'. OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables. So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*, before they make their way into a stable release.

2019-05-07checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking out paths path. Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to match the man page. A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>': - 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both worktree and index). - 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'. - both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>' - default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as with --source (*). - when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be specified since the default source for these two individual targets are different (**) - --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the source, restoring means deleting the entry (*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD. (**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it through when they type the commands.

By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In "git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not really count. A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable. There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before "git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as well as part of $__git_all_commands.

It is possible to configure 'less', the pager, to use an alternate screen to show the content, for example, by setting LESS=RS in the environment. When it is closed in this configuration, it switches back to the original screen, and all content is gone. It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in the terminal. For this, the option --no-pager can be used. But it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is available. Provide a short option, -P, to make the option more easily accessible.

Add a mention of the security mailing list to the "Reporting Bugs" section. There's a mention of this list at https://git-scm.com/community but none in git.git itself. The copy is pasted from the git-scm.com website. Let's use the same wording in both places. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-01-20http: support omitting data from tracesJonathan Tan
GIT_TRACE_CURL provides a way to debug what is being sent and received over HTTP, with automatic redaction of sensitive information. But it also logs data transmissions, which significantly increases the log file size, sometimes unnecessarily. Add an option "GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA" to allow the user to omit such data transmissions. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-01-20http: support cookie redaction when tracingJonathan Tan
When using GIT_TRACE_CURL, Git already redacts the "Authorization:" and "Proxy-Authorization:" HTTP headers. Extend this redaction to a user-specified list of cookies, specified through the "GIT_REDACT_COOKIES" environment variable.
