The later patches in that series[1][2] weren't changed to also refer

Parts of "git maintenance" to ease writing crontab entries (and

For the past 15 years, we've used the hardcoded 64 as the length
limit of the filename of the output from the "git format-patch"
command. Since the value is shorter than the 80-column terminal, it
could grow without line wrapping a bit. At the same time, since the
value is longer than half of the 80-column terminal, we could fit
two or more of them in "ls" output on such a terminal if we allowed
to lower it.
Introduce a new command line option --filename-max-length=<n> and a
new configuration variable format.filenameMaxLength to override the
hardcoded default.
While we are at it, remove a check that the name of output directory
does not exceed PATH_MAX---this check is pointless in that by the
time control reaches the function, the caller would already have
done an equivalent of "mkdir -p", so if the system does not like an
overly long directory name, the control wouldn't have reached here,
and otherwise, we know that the system allowed the output directory
to exist. In the worst case, we will get an error when we try to
open the output file and handle the error correctly anyway.

Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.
Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.
First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.
The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.
Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.
Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.
However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

To provide an on-ramp for users to use background maintenance without
several 'git config' commands, create a 'maintenance.strategy' config
option. Currently, the only important value is 'incremental' which
assigns the following schedule:
* gc: never
* prefetch: hourly
* commit-graph: hourly
* loose-objects: daily
* incremental-repack: daily
These tasks are chosen to minimize disruptions to foreground Git
commands and use few compute resources.
The 'maintenance.strategy' is intended as a baseline that can be
customzied further by manually assigning 'maintenance.<task>.enabled'
and 'maintenance.<task>.schedule' config options, which will override
any recommendation from 'maintenance.strategy'. This operates similarly
to config options like 'feature.experimental' which operate as "meta"
config options that change default config values.
This presents a way forward for updating the 'incremental' strategy in
the future or adding new strategies. For example, a potential strategy
could be to include a 'full' strategy that runs the 'gc' task weekly
and no other tasks by default.

The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.
This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:
$ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list
This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).
We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.
Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.
In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.
Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.
This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.
Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

Protocol v2 became the default in v2.26.0 via 684ceae32d (fetch: default

regression in negotiation. That was fixed in v2.27.0 via 4fa3f00abb

also reverted the default to v0 as a precuation in 11c7f2a30b (Revert
"fetch: default to protocol version 2", 2020-04-22).
In v2.28.0, we re-enabled it for experimental users with 3697caf4b9
(config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2, 2020-05-20)
and haven't heard any complaints. v2.28 has only been out for 2 months,
but I'd generally expect people turning on feature.experimental to also
stay pretty up-to-date. So we're not likely to collect much more data by
waiting. In addition, we have no further reports from people running
v2.26.0, and of course some people have been setting protocol.version
manually for ages.
Let's move forward with v2 as the default again. It's possible there are

Maintenance currently triggers when certain data-size thresholds are
met, such as number of pack-files or loose objects. Users may want to
run certain maintenance tasks based on frequency instead. For example,
a user may want to perform a 'prefetch' task every hour, or 'gc' task
every day. To help these users, update the 'git maintenance run' command
to include a '--schedule=<frequency>' option. The allowed frequencies
are 'hourly', 'daily', and 'weekly'. These values are also allowed in a
new config value 'maintenance.<task>.schedule'.
The 'git maintenance run --schedule=<frequency>' checks the '*.schedule'
config value for each enabled task to see if the configured frequency is
at least as frequent as the frequency from the '--schedule' argument. We
use the following order, for full clarity:
'hourly' > 'daily' > 'weekly'
Use new 'enum schedule_priority' to track these values numerically.
The following cron table would run the scheduled tasks with the correct
frequencies:
0 1-23 * * * git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=hourly
0 0 * * 1-6 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=daily
0 0 * * 0 git -C <repo> maintenance run --schedule=weekly
This cron schedule will run --schedule=hourly every hour except at
midnight. This avoids a concurrent run with the --schedule=daily that
runs at midnight every day except the first day of the week. This avoids
a concurrent run with the --schedule=weekly that runs at midnight on
the first day of the week. Since --schedule=daily also runs the
'hourly' tasks and --schedule=weekly runs the 'hourly' and 'daily'
tasks, we will still see all tasks run with the proper frequencies.

The incremental-repack task updates the multi-pack-index by deleting pack-
files that have been replaced with new packs, then repacking a batch of
small pack-files into a larger pack-file. This incremental repack is faster
than rewriting all object data, but is slower than some other
maintenance activities.
The 'maintenance.incremental-repack.auto' config option specifies how many
pack-files should exist outside of the multi-pack-index before running
the step. These pack-files could be created by 'git fetch' commands or
by the loose-objects task. The default value is 10.
Setting the option to zero disables the task with the '--auto' option,

The multi-pack-index feature is relatively stable now, so make the
config option true by default. For users that do not use a
multi-pack-index, the only extra cost will be a file lookup to see if a
multi-pack-index file exists (once per process, per object directory).
Also, this config option will be referenced by an upcoming
"incremental-repack" task in the maintenance builtin, so move the config
option into the repository settings struct. Note that if

The loose-objects task deletes loose objects that already exist in a
pack-file, then place the remaining loose objects into a new pack-file.
If this step runs all the time, then we risk creating pack-files with
very few objects with every 'git commit' process. To prevent
overwhelming the packs directory with small pack-files, place a minimum
number of objects to justify the task.
The 'maintenance.loose-objects.auto' config option specifies a minimum
number of loose objects to justify the task to run under the '--auto'
option. This defaults to 100 loose objects. Setting the value to zero
will prevent the step from running under '--auto' while a negative value

Instead of writing a new commit-graph in every 'git maintenance run
--auto' process (when maintenance.commit-graph.enalbed is configured to
be true), only write when there are "enough" commits not in a
commit-graph file.
This count is controlled by the maintenance.commit-graph.auto config

To compute the count, use a depth-first search starting at each ref, and
leaving markers using the SEEN flag. If this count reaches the limit,
then terminate early and start the task. Otherwise, this operation will
peel every ref and parse the commit it points to. If these are all in
the commit-graph, then this is typically a very fast operation. Users
with many refs might feel a slow-down, and hence could consider updating
their limit to be very small. A negative value will force the step to

Git uses the 'core.commitGraph' configuration value to control whether
or not the commit graph is used when parsing commits or performing a
traversal.
Now that commit-graphs can also contain a section for changed-path Bloom
filters, administrators that already have commit-graphs may find it
convenient to use those graphs without relying on their changed-path
Bloom filters. This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out,
or in the event of an incident.
Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom
filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both:
- 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a
commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters.
- The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow
reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently.
When the variable is set, pretend as if no Bloom data was specified at
all. This avoids adding additional special-casing outside of the
commit-graph internals.

If the specific prefix strings given by the config variables match the

but may create or update a pull request directly by running the hook
"proc-receive".
Optional modifiers can be provided in the beginning of the value to
filter commands for specific actions: create (a), modify (m),
delete (d). A `!` can be included in the modifiers to negate the

In b79cf959b2 (upload-pack.c: allow banning certain object filter(s),
2020-02-26), we introduced functionality to disallow certain object
filters from being chosen from within 'git upload-pack'. Traditionally,
administrators use this functionality to disallow filters that are known
to perform slowly, for e.g., those that do not have bitmap-level
filtering.
In the past, the '--filter=tree:<n>' was one such filter that does not
have bitmap-level filtering support, and so was likely to be banned by
administrators.
However, in the previous couple of commits, we introduced bitmap-level
filtering for the case when 'n' is equal to '0', i.e., as if we had a
'--filter=tree:none' choice.
While it would be sufficient to simply write
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
(since it would allow all values of 'n'), we would like to be able to
allow this filter for certain values of 'n', i.e., those no greater than
some pre-specified maximum.
In order to do this, introduce a new configuration key, as follows:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth <m>
where '<m>' specifies the maximum allowed value of 'n' in the filter
'tree:n'. Administrators who wish to allow for only the value '0' can
write:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth 0
which allows '--filter=tree:0', but no other values.

Git clients may ask the server for a partial set of objects, where the
set of objects being requested is refined by one or more object filters.
Server administrators can configure 'git upload-pack' to allow or ban
these filters by setting the 'uploadpack.allowFilter' variable to
'true' or 'false', respectively.
However, administrators using bitmaps may wish to allow certain kinds of
object filters, but ban others. Specifically, they may wish to allow
object filters that can be optimized by the use of bitmaps, while
rejecting other object filters which aren't and represent a perceived
performance degradation (as well as an increased load factor on the
server).
Allow configuring 'git upload-pack' to support object filters on a
case-by-case basis by introducing two new configuration variables:
- 'uploadpackfilter.allow'
- 'uploadpackfilter.<kind>.allow'
where '<kind>' may be one of 'blobNone', 'blobLimit', 'tree', and so on.
Setting the second configuration variable for any valid value of
'<kind>' explicitly allows or disallows restricting that kind of object
filter.
If a client requests the object filter <kind> and the respective
configuration value is not set, 'git upload-pack' will default to the
value of 'uploadpackfilter.allow', which itself defaults to 'true' to
maintain backwards compatibility. Note that this differs from
'uploadpack.allowfilter', which controls whether or not the 'filter'
capability is advertised.

"git merge" learned to selectively omit " into <branch>" at the end
of the title of default merge message with merge.suppressDest
configuration.
* jc/fmt-merge-msg-suppress-destination:
fmt-merge-msg: allow merge destination to be omitted again
Revert "fmt-merge-msg: stop treating `master` specially"
In Git 2.28, we stopped special casing 'master' when producing the
default merge message by just removing the code to squelch "into
'master'" at the end of the message.
Introduce multi-valued merge.suppressDest configuration variable
that gives a set of globs to match against the name of the branch
into which the merge is being made, to let users specify for which
branch fmt-merge-msg's output should be shortened. When it is not
set, 'master' is used as the sole value of the variable by default.
The above move mostly reverts the pre-2.28 default in repositories
that have no relevant configuration.
Add a few tests to protect the behaviour with the new configuration
variable from future regression.
