Subject: [PATCH v4 4/8] remote: add remote.*.negotiationRestrict config
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 12:41:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a14c568a1fd3680e40b70cf9ca14fd2a5305df5e.1778762495.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2085.v4.git.1778762495.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>
In a previous change, the --negotiation-restrict command-line option of 'git
fetch' was added as a synonym of --negotiation-tip. Both of these options
restrict the set of 'haves' the client can send as part of negotiation.
This was previously not available via a configuration option. Add a new
'remote.<name>.negotiationRestrict' multi-valued config option that updates
'git fetch <name>' to use these restrictions by default.
If the user provides even one --negotiation-restrict argument, then the
config is ignored.
An empty value resets the value list to allow ignoring earlier config
values, such as those that might be set in system or global config.

+remote.<name>.negotiationRestrict::
+ When negotiating with this remote during `git fetch`, restrict the
+ commits advertised as "have" lines to only those reachable from refs
+ matching the given patterns. This multi-valued config option behaves
+ like `--negotiation-restrict` on the command line.
++
+Each value is either an exact ref name (e.g. `refs/heads/release`) or a
+glob pattern (e.g. `refs/heads/release/*`). The pattern syntax is the
+same as for `--negotiation-restrict`.
++
+These config values are used as defaults for the `--negotiation-restrict`
+command-line option. If `--negotiation-restrict` (or its synonym
+`--negotiation-tip`) is specified on the command line, then the config
+values are not used.
++
+Blank values signal to ignore all previous values, allowing a reset of
+the list from broader config scenarios.

remote.<name>.followRemoteHEAD::
How linkgit:git-fetch[1] should handle updates to `remotes/<name>/HEAD`
when fetching using the configured refspecs of a remote.
