Merge branch 'jk/http-backend-deadlock' into maint

2015-06-16T21:33:45Z

Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request. Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a request first into core (to a reasonable limit). * jk/http-backend-deadlock: http-backend: spool ref negotiation requests to buffer t5551: factor out tag creation http-backend: fix die recursion with custom handler

Merge branch 'jh/filter-empty-contents' into maint

2015-06-16T21:33:44Z

The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through). It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange things, then why not? * jh/filter-empty-contents: sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty file

Merge branch 'jk/stash-options' into maint

2015-06-16T21:33:43Z

Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can safely say "git stash drop --help". * jk/stash-options: stash: recognize "--help" for subcommands stash: complain about unknown flags

Merge branch 'jk/skip-http-tests-under-no-curl' into maint

2015-06-05T19:00:28Z

Test clean-up. * jk/skip-http-tests-under-no-curl: tests: skip dav http-push tests under NO_EXPAT=NoThanks t/lib-httpd.sh: skip tests if NO_CURL is defined

Merge branch 'pt/pull-log-n' into maint

2015-06-05T19:00:24Z

"git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but "git pull --log=20" did not. * pt/pull-log-n: pull: handle --log=

Merge branch 'pt/pull-ff-vs-merge-ff' into maint

2015-06-05T19:00:23Z

The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff configuration, but it didn't. * pt/pull-ff-vs-merge-ff: pull: parse pull.ff as a bool or string pull: make pull.ff=true override merge.ff

Merge branch 'mh/write-refs-sooner-2.4' into maint

2015-06-05T19:00:17Z

Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with resource exhaustion. This is for 2.4.x track. * mh/write-refs-sooner-2.4: ref_transaction_commit(): fix atomicity and avoid fd exhaustion ref_transaction_commit(): remove the local flags variable ref_transaction_commit(): inline call to write_ref_sha1() rename_ref(): inline calls to write_ref_sha1() from this function commit_ref_update(): new function, extracted from write_ref_sha1() write_ref_to_lockfile(): new function, extracted from write_ref_sha1() t7004: rename ULIMIT test prerequisite to ULIMIT_STACK_SIZE update-ref: test handling large transactions properly ref_transaction_commit(): fix atomicity and avoid fd exhaustion ref_transaction_commit(): remove the local flags variable ref_transaction_commit(): inline call to write_ref_sha1() rename_ref(): inline calls to write_ref_sha1() from this function commit_ref_update(): new function, extracted from write_ref_sha1() write_ref_to_lockfile(): new function, extracted from write_ref_sha1() t7004: rename ULIMIT test prerequisite to ULIMIT_STACK_SIZE update-ref: test handling large transactions properly

Merge branch 'mh/ref-directory-file' into maint

2015-06-05T19:00:16Z

The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice versa) very well. * mh/ref-directory-file: reflog_expire(): integrate lock_ref_sha1_basic() errors into ours ref_transaction_commit(): delete extra "the" from error message ref_transaction_commit(): provide better error messages rename_ref(): integrate lock_ref_sha1_basic() errors into ours lock_ref_sha1_basic(): improve diagnostics for ref D/F conflicts lock_ref_sha1_basic(): report errors via a "struct strbuf *err" verify_refname_available(): report errors via a "struct strbuf *err" verify_refname_available(): rename function refs: check for D/F conflicts among refs created in a transaction ref_transaction_commit(): use a string_list for detecting duplicates is_refname_available(): use dirname in first loop struct nonmatching_ref_data: store a refname instead of a ref_entry report_refname_conflict(): inline function entry_matches(): inline function is_refname_available(): convert local variable "dirname" to strbuf is_refname_available(): avoid shadowing "dir" variable is_refname_available(): revamp the comments t1404: new tests of ref D/F conflicts within transactions

Merge branch 'mg/log-decorate-HEAD' into maint

2015-06-05T19:00:15Z

The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not work with --decorate=full. * mg/log-decorate-HEAD: log: do not shorten decoration names too early log: decorate HEAD with branch name under --decorate=full, too

Merge branch 'sb/t1020-cleanup' into maint

2015-06-05T19:00:14Z

There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the test was written; turn it into a proper test. * sb/t1020-cleanup: subdirectory tests: code cleanup, uncomment test
