The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'. This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.
Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.
Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.
Thanks also to Miklos Vajna for documentation.

The loop in get_size_from_delta() feeds a deflated delta data from the
pack stream _until_ we get inflated result of 20 bytes[*] or we reach the
end of stream.
Side note. This magic number 20 does not have anything to do with the
size of the hash we use, but comes from 1a3b55c (reduce delta head
inflated size, 2006-10-18).
The loop reads like this:
do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while ((st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) &&
stream.total_out < sizeof(delta_head));
This git_inflate() can return:
- Z_STREAM_END, if use_pack() fed it enough input and the delta itself
was smaller than 20 bytes;
- Z_OK, when some progress has been made;
- Z_BUF_ERROR, if no progress is possible, because we either ran out of
input (due to corrupt pack), or we ran out of output before we saw the
end of the stream.
The fix b3118bd (sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corrupted,
2009-10-14) attempted was against a corruption that appears to be a valid
stream that produces a result larger than the output buffer, but we are
not even trying to read the stream to the end in this loop. If avail_out
becomes zero, total_out will be the same as sizeof(delta_head) so the loop
will terminate without the "fix". There is no fix from b3118bd needed for
this loop, in other words.
The loop in unpack_compressed_entry() is quite a different story. It
feeds a deflated stream (either delta or base) and allows the stream to
produce output up to what we expect but no more.
do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR)
This _does_ risk falling into an endless interation, as we can exhaust
avail_out if the length we expect is smaller than what the stream wants to
produce (due to pack corruption). In such a case, avail_out will become
zero and inflate() will return Z_BUF_ERROR, while avail_in may (or may
not) be zero.
But this is not a right fix:
do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
+ if (st == Z_BUF_ERROR && (stream.avail_in || !stream.avail_out)
+ break; /* wants more input??? */
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR)
as Z_BUF_ERROR from inflate() may be telling us that avail_in has also run
out before reading the end of stream marker. In such a case, both avail_in
and avail_out would be zero, and the loop should iterate to allow the end
of stream marker to be seen by inflate from the input stream.
The right fix for this loop is likely to be to increment the initial
avail_out by one (we allocate one extra byte to terminate it with NUL
anyway, so there is no risk to overrun the buffer), and break out if we
see that avail_out has become zero, in order to detect that the stream
wants to produce more than what we expect. After the loop, we have a
check that exactly tests this condition:
if ((st != Z_STREAM_END) || stream.total_out != size) {
free(buffer);
return NULL;
}
So here is a patch (without my previous botched attempts) to fix this
issue. The first hunk reverts the corresponding hunk from b3118bd, and
the second hunk is the same fix proposed earlier.

Linus and other git developers from the early days trained their fingers
to type the command, every once in a while even without thinking, to check
the consistency of the repository back when the lower core part of the git
was still being developed. Developers who wanted to make sure that git
correctly dealt with packfiles could deliberately trigger their creation
and checked them after they were created carefully, but loose objects are
the ones that are written by various commands from random codepaths. It
made some technical sense to have a mode that checked only loose objects
from the debugging point of view for that reason.
Even for git developers, there no longer is any reason to type "git fsck"
every five minutes these days, worried that some newly created objects
might be corrupt due to recent change to git.
The reason we did not make "--full" the default is probably we trust our
filesystems a bit too much. At least, we trusted filesystems more than we
trusted the lower core part of git that was under development.
Once a packfile is created and we always use it read-only, there didn't
seem to be much point in suspecting that the underlying filesystems or
disks may corrupt them in such a way that is not caught by the SHA-1
checksum over the entire packfile and per object checksum. That trust in
the filesystems might have been a good tradeoff between fsck performance
and reliability on platforms git was initially developed on and for, but
it may not be true anymore as we run on many more platforms these days.

It's nice to search for an author by merely clicking on their name in
gitweb. This is usually faster than selecting the name, copying the
selection, pasting it into the search box, selecting between
author/committer and then hitting enter.
Linkify the avatar icon in log/shortlog view because the icon is directly
adjacent to the name and thus more related. The same is not true
when in commit/tag view where the icon is farther away.
