Can you elaborate on when this code is triggered?
In the general case, shouldn't we already know the sha1 of what's on
disk in the index, and be able to just compare the hashes? And if we
don't, because the entry is start-dirty, should we be updating it
(possibly earlier, so we do not even get into the "need to write" code
path) instead of doing this ad-hoc byte comparison?
Confused...

Hi,
I was tempted to ask this before, and the recent thread regarding "add
-u/A" [1] convinced me to.

If #2 is indeed the direction we want to go, then maybe we should make
that the default behavior from parse_pathspec()? I.e. rename the flag
"PATHSPEC_EMPTY_MATCH_PREFIX" (or something). Makes sense?
Btw, Matthieu was asking where we use #1. If you do invert the name
and meaning of the flag, then the answer to that question should be
(mostly?) obvious from a re-roll of your series (i.e. all the places
where PATHSPEC_EMPTY_MATCH_PREFIX is used).

The patch we have is below, but I do not think you want it, as it is
missing several things:
- docs and tests
- handling multiple values
- anything but raw prefix matching (you even have to put in the "/"
yourself).
It was not my patch originally, and I never bothered to clean and
upstream it because I didn't think it was something anybody else would
be interested in. I'm happy to do so, but if you are working in the area
anyway, it would make sense to be part of your series.

Yes, that is what I was getting at (and it should have individual
hiderefs for each side that override the transfer.*, in case somebody
wants to make the distinction).

That is harder, as that is something that happens on the client. How
does the client learn about the transfer.hiderefs setting on the remote?
It has to be out-of-band, at which point calling it by the same name has
little benefit.

I think it is unfortunately not so simple as that. You do not want them
to be part of your "clone --mirror", but some people do (because they
will inspect them when evaluating the pull request). And that decision
is, I think, in the eye of the cloner, not the eye of the repo owner. I
think in your case it is a little harder to see, in that you do not care
about the PR mechanism for git.git at all, but let us think for a minute
about a project that actually uses PRs.
For an ordinary developer, they would be content to fetch the branch
tips and tags (and that is what we do by default with "git clone). They
do not need to fetch all of refs/pull. If they learn out-of-band that PR
123 exists, they can in theory ask for refs/pull/123/head. That works
even with your proposal, because it is just about dropping the
advertisement, not the availability of refs.
But what about entities which really do want all of refs/pull? I can
think of two good reasons to want them:
1. You really do want a mirror, because you are creating a backup or
alternate distribution channel. IOW, you are using "git clone
--mirror", but it is missing those refs.
2. You are a developer who is sometimes disconnected. You want to
fetch all of the PRs, and then examine them at your leisure.
Without advertising, how do they ask for the wildcard of `refs/pull/*`?
They're stuck massaging some out-of-band data into a set of distinct
fetch refspecs.
I don't know much about what's in Gerrit's refs/changes, but I imagine
one could make a similar argument that their value is in the eye of the
client. And later you give this example:
> Another example. If you run ls-remote against the above two

Most people do not want to see those heads. But some people (like me)
do, and it is a great convenience to be able to fetch them all with a
wildcard refspec, which cannot work if they are not advertised. I would
have to parse what's cooking and fetch them each individually. That's
not a technologically insurmountable problem, but it means git is being
a lot less helpful than it could be.
So I think in these cases of "extra refs", some clients would want them,
and some would not. And only they can know which camp they are in, not
the server side. Which is why the current system works pretty well: we
advertise everything and let the client decide what it wants. Clone very
sanely fetches only refs/heads/* (and associated tags), and you can put
whatever extra junk you want elsewhere in the hierarchy. A mirrored
clone will fetch it, but to me that is the point of --mirror. And if you
want some arbitrary subset, then you can implement that, too, by the
use of fetch refspecs[1].
The downside, of course, is that the ref advertisement is bigger than
many clients will want. But dealing with that is a separate issue from
"these refs should never be shown", as solutions for one may not work
from the other (e.g., if we delayed ref advertisement until the client
had spoken, the client could tell us what refspecs they are interested
in).
For your topic branch example, why don't you push to refs/topics of the
main git repository? Then normal cloners wouldn't see it, but anybody
interested could add the appropriate fetch refspec.
-Peff
[1] It may be that refspecs are not as expressive as we would like,
but that is a client side problem we can deal with. For instance,
you cannot currently say "give me everything except refs/foo/*".

Would it be possible to make this conditional on cwd not being at the

different behavior)? E.g.,
static const char *here[2] = { ".", NULL };
if (prefix)

For a small/trivial fix, fixing the code and protecting the fix from
future breakages by adding tests that expect success in a single
commit is the most sensible thing to do. People who are interested,
and people who are auditing, can locally revert only the code change
to see the new tests fail fairly easily in such a case.
For a more involved series, it is easier to demonstrate a breakage
by adding tests that expect failure in the first commit, and then in
subsequent commits, to fix a class of bugs in the code and flipping
expect_failure into expect_success for the tests that the updated
code in the commit fixes.
For this particular topic, squashing the two patches into a single
commit may probably be the more appropriate between the two.
Thanks.

Good point. I rarely cd to anything but the top of the tree, but that
might be just me. OTOH, git diff after -u would remind me. It would bad if -u
was tree wide and diff wasn't, but fortunately that's not the case.
The -A is a bit worse since it adds all the crap files lying around.

As other people already said, it would be nice to have consistency
accross most if not all commands. AFAICT, the only exceptions to
"tree-wide by default, say '.' to restrict to subdirectory" are git add
-u|-A, git grep and git clean.
Arguably, the "subtree by default" is a safety feature of "git clean",
and should be kept.
I don't care too deepely about "git grep". From previous discussions,
IIRC, other people didn't care either.
On the other hand, I can think of at least "git log", "git diff", "git
status" and to some extend "git commit" as tree-wide by default with
optional path restriction. I'd like "git add" to be on the same side.

But the good news is: whatever option is chosen, the other one is only a

Not really. It fixed "git add -u path", not plain "git add -u". A quick
test checking out and compiling v1.5.2.5~1^ shows that "git add -u ."
from a subdirectory was adding everything from the root.
My interpretation is that v1.5.2.5~1 fixed an actual bug, without
thinking about what would happen when "git add -u" was called without
path, so the behavior is "what happens to be the most natural to
implement". Indeed, the behavior was actually documented only later, in
v1.5.4.3~3 (Feb 21 00:29:39 2008, Clarified the meaning of git-add -u in
the documentation), the previous doc said only "If no paths are
specified, all tracked files are updated.".

Consistency is one issue. +1 for having consistent behavior. But even
if all "git add" modes work consistently on current subdirectory, they
will be inconsistent with other git command, for example "git status"
or "git diff". I think it'd be better to have all git command work the
same (is that possible? is there a list of all commands which work on
current dir vs those working on whole tree?). I believe changing all
commands to work on current subdir is not an option.
Another issue is usability. Can we definitely say which is better: add
all changes from current subdir, or add all changes from whole tree? I
don't know. At the moment I think whole tree is better. That's usually
what I want. If I want to add only some changes, I first list the
status or run diff, and then explicitly say what to add. OTOH "add" is
kind of dangerous command - adding content to index is not reversible
(i.e. if there already is a previous version in index with changes,
"add" will overwrite it). But at the same time, another "dangerous"
command, "git add -a" works on whole tree. I use it frequently and
never had any problem with it.
So, from me +1 on making all commands work on whole tree.

Aha, that's a very interesting bug report. My observations support

Yes, but there's precious little clear language on when SA_RESTART is
supposed to act. In all cases?
The wording on
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/glibc/libc_485.html
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/glibc/libc_498.html
leads me to believe that SA_RESTART is actually used on the glibc side
of things, so that any glibc syscall wrapper not specifically equipped
with the restarting behavior would return EINTR unmodified. This might
explain why utime() doesn't restart like it should (assuming we work on
the theory that POSIX doesn't allow an EINTR from utime() to begin
with).

That is the primary plus in practice, I think, and it is a big one.
When naming a directory that belongs to a different subdirectory
hierarchy, typing ":/that/directory/name" is not any easier than
having your shell help you complete "../../that/directory/name"; I
suspect nobody uses the relative-to-root notation to name anything
but the root in real life.

It would be easier on the reviewers if you could split out such
search&replace changes as s/benutzt/verwendet/ into a separate patch.
I'm not sure though which one would be more error-prone. As it stands,
it's very tiring to review because of the very similar s/// changes, and
I am unlikely to spot any other change or mistake in a message that
undergoes the substitution. With my proposal, I'd just skip reviewing
the s/// patch :-)
