trace2: write discard message to sentinel files

2019-10-05T08:53:51Z

Add a new "discard" event type for trace2 event destinations. When the trace2 file count check creates a sentinel file, it will include the normal trace2 output in the sentinel, along with this new discard event. Writing this message into the sentinel file is useful for tracking how often the file count check triggers in practice. Bump up the event format version since we've added a new event type.

docs: clarify trace2 version invariants

2019-10-04T00:26:42Z

Make it explicit that we always want trace2 "version" events to be the first event of any trace session. Also list the changes that would or would not cause the EVENT format version field to be incremented. Signed-off-by: Josh Steadmon Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

docs: mention trace2 target-dir mode in git-config

2019-10-04T00:26:42Z

Move the description of trace2's target-directory behavior into the shared trace2-target-values file so that it is included in both the git-config and api-trace2 docs. Leave the SID discussion only in api-trace2 since it's a technical detail. Signed-off-by: Josh Steadmon Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'ds/include-exclude'

2019-09-30T04:19:32Z

The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a path is "included". * ds/include-exclude: unpack-trees: rename 'is_excluded_from_list()' treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern' treewide: rename 'EXCL_FLAG_' to 'PATTERN_FLAG_' treewide: rename 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct pattern_list' treewide: rename 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern'

Teach the lazy clone machinery that there can be more than one promisor remote and consult them in order when downloading missing objects on demand. * cc/multi-promisor: Move core_partial_clone_filter_default to promisor-remote.c Move repository_format_partial_clone to promisor-remote.c Remove fetch-object.{c,h} in favor of promisor-remote.{c,h} remote: add promisor and partial clone config to the doc partial-clone: add multiple remotes in the doc t0410: test fetching from many promisor remotes builtin/fetch: remove unique promisor remote limitation promisor-remote: parse remote.*.partialclonefilter Use promisor_remote_get_direct() and has_promisor_remote() promisor-remote: use repository_format_partial_clone promisor-remote: add promisor_remote_reinit() promisor-remote: implement promisor_remote_get_direct() Add initial support for many promisor remotes fetch-object: make functions return an error code t0410: remove pipes after git commands

treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern'

2019-09-05T21:05:12Z

The first consumer of pattern-matching filenames was the .gitignore feature. In that context, storing a list of patterns as a 'struct exclude_list' makes sense. However, the sparse-checkout feature then adopted these structures and methods, but with the opposite meaning: these patterns match the files that should be included! It would be clearer to rename this entire library as a "pattern matching" library, and the callers apply exclusion/inclusion logic accordingly based on their needs. This commit renames several methods defined in dir.h to make more sense with the renamed 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct pattern_list' and 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern': * last_exclude_matching() -> last_matching_pattern() * parse_exclude() -> parse_path_pattern() In addition, the word 'exclude' was replaced with 'pattern' in the methods below: * add_exclude_list() * add_excludes_from_file_to_list() * add_excludes_from_file() * add_excludes_from_blob_to_list() * add_exclude() * clear_exclude_list() A few methods with the word "exclude" remain. These will be handled seperately. In particular, the method "is_excluded()" is concretely about the .gitignore file relative to a specific directory. This is the important boundary between library and consumer: is_excluded() cares about .gitignore, but is_excluded() calls last_matching_pattern() to make that decision.

doc: fix repeated words

2019-08-12T00:40:07Z

Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran "git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed one of the repeated words. There were many false positives by this grep command, including deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that that" which I left alone, of course. I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated words in old RelNotes. Signed-off-by: Mark Rushakoff Acked-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Docfix. * mr/doc-can-not-to-cannot: doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/

doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/

2019-08-05T17:05:24Z

"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas "cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible. Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances. Only files in the Documentation folder were modified. 'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately from the documentation change. Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no other occurrences of that typo according to git grep. Signed-off-by: Mark Rushakoff Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
