It doesn't matter? I find that statement hard to align with what the maintainer of git, and thus the person who decides whether your patch series gets merged or not, wrote just above? In fact, it seems to me that what Junio said matters a great deal...
This is a very strange attitude...
In another email, you complained about nobody reviewing your patches respectively nobody voicing any constructive criticism. Yet Junio did just that, and again in $gmane/210745 -- and you replied to neither, and acted on neither (not even by refuting the points brought up), and now summarily dismiss them as irrelevant. I find that quite disturbing :-(.

Hi,
With git fetch --tags

git fetch only fetches tags, but not branches.
Current documentation does not mention that no branches are fetched /

If you insert a block for M following the existing formatting
convention in the middle, your heuristics will pick the blank line
after "about A" as having minimum cost, no?
You inherently have to know the nature of the payload, as your eyes
that judge the result use that knowledge when doing so, I am afraid.
I think your "define a function that gives a good score to lines
that are likely to be good breaking points" idea has merit, but I
think that should be tied to the content type, most likely via the
attribute mechanism.
In any case, I consider this as a low-impact (as Michael Haggerty
noted, it is impossible to introduce a bug that subtly break the
output; your result is either totally borked or is correct) and
low-hanging fruit (it can be done as a postprocessing phase after
the xdiff machinery has done the heavy-lifting of computing LCA), if
somebody wants to experiment and implement one. As long as the new
heuristics is hidden behind an explicit command line option to avoid
other "consequences", I wouldn't discourage interested parties from
working on it. It is not just my itch, though.

Here the some would be 3 vs 0. In case of ties, use the last
possibility with minimum cost.
I think it would be nice if the cost function we choose does not
depend on file type, as that is something that is very dependent
on the exact local configuration and might hinder comparison of
patches. If something really simple gets us 90% there, that would
be preferable over extra complexity.

Huh?
The "-1" in the original is the bog-standard compensation for the

While the rewritten version is not *wrong* per-se, I have a feeling
that it may be much easier to read if written like this:
if (sub->cache_tree_entry_count < 0) {
to_invalidate = 1;
to_skip = 0 - sub->cache_tree_entry_count;
sub->cache_tree_entry_count = -1;
} else {
to_skip = sub->cache_tree_entry_count;
}

Nice. I think what entry_count means immediately after update_one()
returned should be commented near the beginning of that function,
too, though.

I was merely asking if an algorithm to pick between the
2+ choices was allowed to look at the contents of the
lines.
I.e., an algorithm would look at the C comment
example and determine that the choice starting containing
a full inserted comment is preferable over the one that
appears to close one comment and open a new.
And the in inserted-function case it would prefer the one
where the matching { and } are in correct order.

You can easily imagine a definition like this:
- If non-negative, the entry is valid and it is the number of index
entries that are covered by this subtree;
- If -1, the cached-tree does not know the object name of the tree
object, and nothing else is known. The caller needs to walk the
index to skip the entries that could have been covered by this
subtree, if the cached tree information were valid;
- If less than -1, the cached-tree does not know the object name of
the tree object, but we know the number of index entries that are
covered by this subtree. The caller, instead of walking the index,
can subtract the count from -1 and skip that many entries to find
the index entry after the part that is inside this directory.
Newer Git may write -201 and newer Git may be able to take advantage
of the new information encoded there, saving 200 calls to
prefixcmp(), while given the same index, older Git will operate just
as correctly as before. An older Git may write that part of the
cache-tree back with -1, defeating the optimization when a newer Git
reads it back, but by definition the older Git does not know what to
write to help that optimization that did not exist when it was done,
and writing -1 will not confuse the newer Git.

In-Reply-To: <7vip89bz4v.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>
Intent-to-add entries used to forbid writing trees so it was not a
problem. After commit 3f6d56d (commit: ignore intent-to-add entries
instead of refusing - 2012-02-07), we can generate trees from an index
with i-t-a entries.
However, the commit forgets to invalidate all paths leading to i-t-a
entries. With fully valid cache-tree (e.g. after commit or
write-tree), diff operations may prefer cache-tree to index and not
see i-t-a entries in the index, because cache-tree does not have them.

We have been writing -1 as "invalid" since day 1. On that same day we
accept all negative entry counts as "invalid". So in theory all C Git
versions out there would be happy to accept any negative numbers. JGit
seems to do exactly the same.
Correct the document to reflect the fact that -1 is not the only magic
number. At least one implementation, libgit2, is found to treat -1
this way.

How would that work with existing versions? If you write -2 in
cache-tree, the next time 1.8.0 updates cache tree it writes -1 back.
That loses whatever information you attach to -2. A new cache-tree
extension is probably better.

Ah yes, the gitlink is only in the index. Sorry for the noise.

We fix directory permissions after creating any directory under .git
with the same code, so that in a repository shared by group, new
subdirectories created by a random somebody who belongs to that
group will belong to that group (we also chmod to g+wx in case such
a random somebody has overly strict umask). Instead of running
chown(2) on every new file created by us, we let the filesystem to
take care of it by telling the directories we create that new files
in them should inherit their group ownership.
What we were worried about back when we decided to use S_ISGID was a
scenario like this:
* A repository is shared by group "src".
* A user belongs to the group "src". That group may or may not be
his primary group (i.e. "mkdir foo" done at random place by him
may not belong to the "src" group).
* The user attempts to create a new branch "foo/bar" by pushing
from outside. There is no other branch whose name is
"foo/anything" when this happens.
* An equivalent of "mkdir -p .git/refs/heads/foo" needs to be done
before an equivalent of "echo $sha >.git/refs/heads/foo/bar"
happens to accept this push. We want "foo" and "bar" to belong
to "src" group and they get appropriate permission bits suitable
to be accessed by the members of the "src" group.
The story is the same for loose objects and their fan-out directory.
Storing a commit object fb/012345... may need to create the leading
fan-out ".git/objects/fb" and we want that directory and any future
files created in it to belong to the "src" group.
Any alternative implementation that achieves the same result that
works on AFS can be substituted with the current code, or made
conditionally activated on AFS.

I have the feeling that a few crude heuristics would go a long way
towards improving diffs like this. For example:
* Prefer to have an add/remove block that has balanced begin/end pairs
(where begin/end pairs might be opening and closing parentheses,
brackets, braces, and angle brackets, "/*" and "*/", and perhaps a
couple of other things. For SGML-like text begin and end tags could be
matched up.
It would be possible to read these begin/end pairs from a
filetype-specific table or configuration setting, though this would add
complication and would also make it possible that diffs generated by two
different people are not identical if their configurations differ.
* Prefer to have a block where the first non-blank line of the block and
the first non-blank line after the block are indented by the same amount.
* Prefer to have a block with trailing (as opposed to leading or
embedded) blank lines--the more the better.
The beautiful thing is that even if the heuristics sometimes fail, the
correctness of the patch (in the sense that you have defined) is not
compromised.

* What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2012, #03; Wed, 12)
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2012-12-12 23:58 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: git
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
A new maintenance release 1.8.0.2 was tagged with accumulated fixes
we have already been using on the 'master' front for a while. The
tip of the 'master' is a bit beyond 1.8.1-rc1 and many topics are
getting into good shape in 'next', hopefully ready to be merged soon
after the 1.8.1 final.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html

MinGW has a workaround when rmdir unnecessarily fails to retry with
a prompt, but the logic was kicking in when the rmdir failed with
ENOTEMPTY, i.e. was expected to fail and there is no point retrying.

- name-rev --algorithm=weight: trivial optimization
- name-rev: --algorithm option
- name_rev: clarify the logic to assign a new tip-name to a commit
- name-rev: lose unnecessary typedef
"git name-rev" names the given revision based on a ref that can be
reached in the smallest number of steps from the rev, but that is
not useful when the caller wants to know which tag is the oldest one
that contains the rev. This teaches a new mode to the command that
uses the oldest ref among those which contain the rev.
I am not sure if this is worth it; for one thing, even with the help
from notes-cache, it seems to make the "describe --contains" even
slower. Also the command will be unusably slow for a user who does
not have a write access (hence unable to create or update the
notes-cache).

- Teach "git remote" about remote.default.
- Teach remote.c about the remote.default configuration setting.

I suspect that this needs to be plugged to pathspec matching code;
otherwise "git log -- 'Docum*/**/*.txt'" would not show the log for
commits that touch Documentation/git.txt, which would be confusing
to the users.

* directory permissions on AFS
From: Jaime Frey @ 2012-12-12 23:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: git
Hi,
We have a shared bare git repository on AFS, which our developers
pull from and push to from their local repositories. Some developers
access the bare repository directly over AFS and others use ssh.
Every couple of months, all of the two-character directories under
the objects directory disappear. Afterwards, most pushes fail with an
error like this:
error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/fb:
Permission denied
Stracing git revealed that it successfully recreated the ./objects/fb
and then failed to chmod() it. It failed because it tried to set the
S_ISGID bit, which mere mortals cannot do on AFS. Manually recreating
all of these directories solves the problem.
I took a quick look at the git source and it appears git always tries
to set the S_ISGID on a new directory if core.sharedrepository is
enabled in the config. I don't know what other effects would result
from setting core.sharedrepository to 0.
Would it be feasible to allow the setting of S_ISGID to disabled,
apart from modifying core.sharedrepository? Possibly a new config
parameter or detecting if the directory is on AFS?

I do not think anybody is arguing that it would not help the human
users to shift the hunk boundaries in the case Kevin's original
message demonstrated.

AFAIU, "restore the user to the state" is the goal. I am not sure
what you meant by "replace it with the original gitlink", though. A
checkout with a submodule that the user is not interested in would
have an empty directory at that path, no?

I must say it is _quite_ helpfull having the diffs well done (natural
diffs as here named), just because when you want to review a patch on
the fly, this sort of things are annoying.
I just wanted to say my opinion. No idea on how to fix that, nor why
does it happen.

Ah, right, I somehow missed that :-/. Well, I guess it's at most a tiny minor cleanup anyway and thus not important :-).
