I don't think it's worth worrying about. Given that the entries must be
absolute paths anyway, we do not even have to worry about an insane path

I tried the patch but it doesn't appear to have helped :( Clone time
with it was ~32m.
Do you all by any chance have a tool to obfuscate a repository?
Probably I still wouldn't be permitted to distribute it but might make
the option slightly more palatable. Anything else that I can do to

Makes sense. Thanks for considering the backwards compatibility angle.
Hopefully we can avoid adding names with underscores in the future, but I
think the mapping of "remote_head -> remotehead" is obvious enough that
we do not need to worry about deprecating and replacing the old name.

Is that right? The "out" fd is where we send sideband 1, and it is
almost always not going to be a tty. The suffix should be sent with
sideband 2, which goes to stderr. So I'd think you would want to check
isatty(2).
Also, most isatty checks also need to cover the case that a pager has
already been started. That is probably not worth worrying about here,
though, as we shouldn't be using a pager for commands that do network
communications (and if we do, omitting the magic line-clearing signal is
probably a sane thing to do).
I think the overall goal is a step in the right direction, though.

I think we are getting into premature optimization territory. Let's
take your series as a cleanup, and we can worry about micro-optimizing
the allocation if and when it ever becomes an issue.

Since it supports multiple mailing lists per category you can always
do (I can't remember the specific config keys, but it's not
important):
commits = all-git-activity@example.com,git-commits@example.com
tags = all-git-activity@example.com,git-tags@example.com
etc.

Overall, what should be the approach to the separate mailing lists?
Maybe I don't understand how the script is meant to work. We configured
things here with 'mailinglist' and 'commitlist' set to different lists. Now
if someone wants to get both the summary and per-commit emails, they need to
be on both lists. If I understand correctly, if all 4 mailing lists are
distinct, someone who wants all the emails needs to be on all of them. This
seems a little awkward.
I'd like there to be one list that always gets everything, and the other
lists should get subsets of the everything list.

I installed the script in our main repository here. Some folks complained
about the "flood" of emails for large pushes, but having separate mailing
lists solved that.
Others really appreciate the individual messages with full patches. It's a
challenge to create one script that can satisfy all users, but IMHO this
comes pretty close.

I look forward to trying out your updates. One thing I had to do to the
original script was override get_envelopesender() in GenericEnvironment to
use $USER if hooks.envelopesender is not set. (This is what the old
post-receive-email script does.)
This script is one of a couple of things on my git back-burner. Hopefully
things will settle down here soon and I'll be able to get back to some git
hacking in the next few weeks.

Right. When generating the packed-refs file, we include the "peeled"
reference for a tag (i.e., the commit that a tag object points to). So
we have to actually read any tag objects to get the value.
The upload-pack program generates a similar list, and I recently added
some optimizations. This code path could benefit from some of them by
using "peel_ref" instead of hand-rolling the tag dereferencing. The main
optimization, though, is reusing peeled values that are already in
packed-refs; we would probably need some additional magic to reuse the
values from the source repository.
However:
> It only takes a second or so for each call but when you have thousands

I am more concerned that it takes a second to read each tag. Even in my
pathological tests for optimizing upload-pack, peeling 50,000 refs took
only half a second.

Does this patch help? In a sample repo with 5000 annotated tags, it
drops my local clone time from 0.20s to 0.11s. Which is a big percentage
speedup, but this code isn't taking a long time in the first place for
me.

I think just sending the individual patch e-mails to all people who
subscribe to paths that got changed in that patch that match their
watchlist makes sense.
That's how an internal E-mailing script that I'm hopign to replace
with this works.
That script *also* supports sending the whole batch of patches pushed
in that push to someone watching any file that got modified in one of
the patches, in case you also want to get other stuff pushed in pushes
for files you're interested in.
But it doesn't generate individual E-Mails per recipient. I think that

Yeah, I often use a similar workflow. A related one is:
(1) Make lots of unrelated changes in the working tree.
$ hack hack hack
(2) Pick out hunks for the first commit.
$ git add -p
(3) Put the rest of the changes aside.
$ git stash -k
(4) Test (and possibly tweak) the result, then commit.
$ make test
$ git commit -m "topic 1"
(5) Bring back the stashed changes.
$ git stash pop
(6) If there are still interesting changes, goto step 2.
(7) Otherwise, discard with "git reset --hard" or "git checkout -p".
I.e., iterating on the changes to put them into several different
commits (and achieving a clean, testable state before making each
commit).
The downside of these workflows is that you have to say "no" to hunks
multiple times (one per iteration) instead of just sorting them in a
single pass. This works OK in practice, but it might be nice to have a
tool that makes a single pass and lets you drop hunks into buckets
(topic 1 vs topic 2 vs discard), and then apply the buckets in order,
stopping to test, tweak, and commit after each one.

Right. I think the idea of one-pass tool is a good one, but it should
not be called "git add -p".

Right. The key thing that changed in git v1.7 is that we started warning
about and denying an operation that had always been dangerous, and that
is why the referenced document mentions that version.

The easiest answer to this is run 'git status'. It'll list the files in
various states, and tell you how to undo the changes.

This list is okay for the general usage questions.
But since it's the place where the development questions are discussed
as well, and patches get posted, you might find its signal-to-noise
ratio to be not very convenient for a casual user.
For "mere mortals", we have another list, git-users, hosted on Google
Groups [1]. It deals only with problems Git newbies have with Git.

Yes, that was the proper way. A failed Git merge attempt could be
considered as just another case of a messed-up state of the work tree
and the index.
You might want to read the "Reset Demystified" [2] document for a
friendly descriptions of how different ways to invoke `git reset`
affect the repository, the index and the work tree.

`git checkout` is able to fetch specific versions of the specified
files if called like this:
$ git checkout HEAD~n -- filename

* git-svn with ignore-paths misses/skips some revisions during fetch
From: McHenry, Matt @ 2012-11-08 13:50 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: git@vger.kernel.org
My company has a fairly large SVN repository, and I'm running into a bug with git-svn where some revisions aren't being fetched.
The repository has a standard trunk/tags/branches layout, but there are some top-level directories under trunk/ that clearly don't belong in Git, and some that do. So, I've been experimenting with two approaches: a single git-svn clone that uses 'ignore-paths' to exclude the stuff that I don't want; and a series of per-subdir clones that use "fetch = trunk/<subdir>:refs/remotes/trunk" to pull in only that subdir.
The problem is that the 'ignore-paths' approach sometimes misses commits during a fetch, and then at some later time will "realize" it and squash those changes onto some other, unrelated commit. (I've never seen this happen with the per-subdir 'fetch' approach.) Here are three commits in SVN:
$ svn log -v -r 172602 -r 172605 -r 172626 svn://dev

Bare vs. non-bare hasn't changed. The reasoning behind the two types
hasn't changed and is pretty fundamental. There is no reason for it to

FWIW, we moved it to /usr/share/git-core/contrib/completion/ -- it was
only ever in /etc/profile.d in an unreleased version of Fedora for a
short time. (Side note: at some point, we'll likely install most or
all of contrib under /usr/share/git-core/contrib in Fedora.)
Having it in a more standard location would be excellent, it would
avoid bugs like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854061 :)

The templating is currently not super flexible nor very well documented,
but simple changes should be easy enough. I mostly carried over the

That's correct, and I've also thought about the feature that you
described. I think it would be pretty easy to implement; it is only not
quite obvious to which mailing list(s?) such emails should be sent.

Should too-long lines be folded or truncated? Either way, it should be
pretty straightforward (Python even has a textwrap module that could be
used).

I implemented something like this back when we were using Subversion,
but it didn't get much use and seemed like more configuration hassle
than it was worth.
If this were implemented and I asked for notifications about a
particular file, and a particular reference change affects the file,
what should I see?
* The summary email for the reference change (yes/no)?
* Detail emails for all commits within the reference change, or only for
the individual commits that modify the file?
* Should the detail emails include the full patch for the corresponding
commit, or only the diffs affecting the file(s) of interest? (The
latter would start to get expensive, because the script would have to
generate individual emails per subscriber instead of letting sendmail
fan the emails out across all subscribers.)

*How* this feature would be configured depends strongly on how the repo
is hosted. For example, gitolite has a well-developed scheme for how
the server should be configured, and it would make sense to work
together with that. Other people might configure user access via LDAP
or Apache.

Cool, thanks!

I agree. I'd be really nice to have an interactive command about hunk
manipulation between HEAD (or some other ref), index and worktree in
both directions (except writing to HEAD, of course). This reminds me
of the "git put" discussion a while ago, which also moves code between
different locations..
