git/builtin, branch v2.25.3

Merge branch 'hi/gpg-use-check-signature' into maint

2020-03-17T22:02:23Z

"git merge signed-tag" while lacking the public key started to say "No signature", which was utterly wrong. This regression has been reverted. * hi/gpg-use-check-signature: Revert "gpg-interface: prefer check_signature() for GPG verification"

Merge branch 'ds/partial-clone-fixes' into maint

2020-03-17T22:02:23Z

Fix for a bug revealed by a recent change to make the protocol v2 the default. * ds/partial-clone-fixes: partial-clone: avoid fetching when looking for objects partial-clone: demonstrate bugs in partial fetch

Merge branch 'en/check-ignore' into maint

2020-03-17T22:02:23Z

"git check-ignore" did not work when the given path is explicitly marked as not ignored with a negative entry in the .gitignore file. * en/check-ignore: check-ignore: fix documentation and implementation to match

Merge branch 'jk/index-pack-dupfix' into maint

2020-03-17T22:02:22Z

The index-pack code now diagnoses a bad input packstream that records the same object twice when it is used as delta base; the code used to declare a software bug when encountering such an input, but it is an input error. * jk/index-pack-dupfix: index-pack: downgrade twice-resolved REF_DELTA to die()

Revert "gpg-interface: prefer check_signature() for GPG verification"

2020-02-28T17:43:17Z

This reverts commit 72b006f4bfd30b7c5037c163efaf279ab65bea9c, which breaks the end-user experience when merging a signed tag without having the public key. We should report "can't check because we have no public key", but the code with this change claimed that there was no signature.

partial-clone: avoid fetching when looking for objects

2020-02-22T17:23:08Z

When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and thus supply no "haves" in the request. 6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag. However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag. Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist due to updated refs. This resolves a broken test in t5616-partial-clone.sh. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

check-ignore: fix documentation and implementation to match

2020-02-18T23:28:58Z

check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an implementation that matches the documentation. These modes differ in whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final pattern matched by the path. The fix is different for both modes, so I'll discuss both separately. === First (default) mode === The first mode is documented as: For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via --stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is excluded. However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated patterns. Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via calling ... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern() while check-ignore has a call path of the form: ... -> check_ignore() -> last_matching_pattern() The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded() means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over last_matching_pattern()). Unfortunately, we can't make it just call is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode which needs to know the matched pattern in question. This brings us to... === Second (verbose) mode === The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the documentation and says: Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude sources, see gitignore(5). The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches. Unless more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns and thus should be printed by the latter logic. === Resolution == Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are excluded). For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern is excluded. As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change the implementation to match the documented behavior. Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this discrepancy in how negated paths were handled. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'pb/do-not-recurse-grep-no-index' into maint

2020-02-14T20:42:31Z

"git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode. * pb/do-not-recurse-grep-no-index: grep: ignore --recurse-submodules if --no-index is given

Merge branch 'nd/switch-and-restore' into maint

2020-02-14T20:42:29Z

"git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which has been corrected. * nd/switch-and-restore: restore: invalidate cache-tree when removing entries with --staged

Merge branch 'hw/commit-advise-while-rejecting' into maint

2020-02-14T20:42:27Z

"git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints configuration variable, which has been corrected. * hw/commit-advise-while-rejecting: commit: honor advice.statusHints when rejecting an empty commit
