bundle: add new version for use with SHA-256

2020-07-30T16:16:48Z

Currently we detect the hash algorithm in use by the length of the object ID. This is inelegant and prevents us from using a different hash algorithm that is also 256 bits in length. Since we cannot extend the v2 format in a backward-compatible way, let's add a v3 format, which is identical, except for the addition of capabilities, which are prefixed by an at sign. We add "object-format" as the only capability and reject unknown capabilities, since we do not have a network connection and therefore cannot negotiate with the other side. For compatibility, default to the v2 format for SHA-1 and require v3 for SHA-256. In t5510, always use format v3 so we can be sure we produce consistent results across hash algorithms. Since head -n N lists the top N lines instead of the Nth line, let's run our output through sed to normalize it and compare it against a fixed value, which will make sure we get exactly what we're expecting.

Doc: Bundle file usage

2019-10-21T03:02:39Z

Improve the command description, including paragraph spacing. Git URLs can accept bundle files for fetch, pull and clone, include in that section. Include git clone in the bundle usage description. Correct the quoting of . Detail the options for cloning a complete repo. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: keep first level section header in upper case

2018-05-02T08:03:33Z

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this. While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

transport: drop support for git-over-rsync

2016-02-01T21:07:41Z

The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/", regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones, leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry, or complaining that the other side has two copies of the refs[1]). This latter breakage means that nobody could have successfully pulled from a moderately active repository since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01). We never made an official deprecation notice in the release notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30). And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!). Of course some people professed their love of rsync through 2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]: > Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though > everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is > deprecated." No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing something _wrong_. The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7]. Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4) lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without further deprecation warnings.

Documentation: full-ness of a bundle is significant for cloning

2013-01-01T23:48:20Z

Not necessarily every bundle file can be cloned from. Only the ones that do not need prerequisites can. When 1d52b02 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22) reworded this paragraph, it lost a critical hint to tell readers why this particular bundle can be cloned from. Resurrect it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: correct example restore from bundle

2013-01-01T20:43:02Z

Because the bundle created in the example does not record HEAD, "git clone" will not check out the files to the working tree: $ git clone pr.bundle q/ Cloning into 'q'... Receiving objects: 100% (619/619), 13.52 MiB | 18.74 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (413/413), done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. Avoid alarming the readers by adding "-b master" to the example. A better fix may be to arrange the bundle created in the earlier step to record HEAD, so that it can be cloned without this workaround.
