Doc update. * ab/man-sec-list: git manpage: note git-security@googlegroups.com

git manpage: note git-security@googlegroups.com

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 Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

http: support omitting data from traces

2018-01-19T21:06:57Z

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 Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

http: support cookie redaction when tracing

2018-01-19T21:06:50Z

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. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'ar/unconfuse-three-dots'

2017-12-19T19:33:58Z

Ancient part of codebase still shows dots after an abbreviated object name just to show that it is not a full object name, but these ellipses are confusing to people who newly discovered Git who are used to seeing abbreviated object names and find them confusing with the range syntax. * ar/unconfuse-three-dots: t2020: test variations that matter t4013: test new output from diff --abbrev --raw diff: diff_aligned_abbrev: remove ellipsis after abbreviated SHA-1 value t4013: prepare for upcoming "diff --raw --abbrev" output format change checkout: describe_detached_head: remove ellipsis after committish print_sha1_ellipsis: introduce helper Documentation: user-manual: limit usage of ellipsis Documentation: revisions: fix typo: "three dot" ---> "three-dot" (in line with "two-dot").

Merge branch 'bw/protocol-v1'

2017-12-06T17:23:44Z

A new mechanism to upgrade the wire protocol in place is proposed and demonstrated that it works with the older versions of Git without harming them. * bw/protocol-v1: Documentation: document Extra Parameters ssh: introduce a 'simple' ssh variant i5700: add interop test for protocol transition http: tell server that the client understands v1 connect: tell server that the client understands v1 connect: teach client to recognize v1 server response upload-pack, receive-pack: introduce protocol version 1 daemon: recognize hidden request arguments protocol: introduce protocol extension mechanisms pkt-line: add packet_write function connect: in ref advertisement, shallows are last

print_sha1_ellipsis: introduce helper

2017-12-04T16:25:35Z

Introduce a helper print_sha1_ellipsis() that pays attention to the GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS environment variable, and prepare the tests to unconditionally set it for the test pieces that will be broken once the code stops showing the extra dots by default. The removal of these dots is merely a plan at this step and has not happened yet but soon will. Document GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS. Signed-off-by: Ann T Ropea Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'av/fsmonitor'

2017-11-21T05:07:51Z

Various fixes to bp/fsmonitor topic. * av/fsmonitor: fsmonitor: simplify determining the git worktree under Windows fsmonitor: store fsmonitor bitmap before splitting index fsmonitor: read from getcwd(), not the PWD environment variable fsmonitor: delay updating state until after split index is merged fsmonitor: document GIT_TRACE_FSMONITOR fsmonitor: don't bother pretty-printing JSON from watchman fsmonitor: set the PWD to the top of the working tree

mingw: document the standard handle redirection

2017-11-02T02:19:44Z

This feature has been in Git for Windows since v2.11.0(2), as an experimental option. Now it is considered mature, and it is high time to document it properly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
