As a "distributed" VCS, git should better define the encodings of its core
textual data structures, in particular those that are part of the network
protocol.
That git is encoding agnostic is only really true for blob objects. E.g.
the 'non-NUL bytes' requirement of tree and commit objects excludes
UTF-16/32, and the special meaning of '/' in the index file as well as
space and linefeed in commit objects eliminates EBCDIC and other non-ASCII
encodings.
Git expects bytes < 0x80 to be pure ASCII, thus CJK encodings that partly
overlap with the ASCII range are problematic as well. E.g. fmt_ident()
removes trailing 0x5C from user names on the assumption that it is ASCII
'\'. However, there are over 200 GBK double byte codes that end in 0x5C.
UTF-8 as default encoding on Linux and respective path translations in the
Mac and Windows versions have established UTF-8 NFC as de-facto standard
for path names.
Update the documentation in i18n.txt to reflect the current status-quo.

Check if commits were removed (i.e. a line was deleted) and print
warnings or stop git rebase depending on the value of the
configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.
This patch gives the user the possibility to avoid silent loss of
information (losing a commit through deleting the line in this case)
if he wants.
Add the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.
- When unset or set to "ignore", no checking is done.
- When set to "warn", the commits are checked, warnings are
displayed but git rebase still proceeds.
- When set to "error", the commits are checked, warnings are
displayed and the rebase is stopped.
(The user can then use 'git rebase --edit-todo' and
'git rebase --continue', or 'git rebase --abort')
rebase.missingCommitsCheck defaults to "ignore".

If this extension is used in a repository, then no
operations should run which may drop objects from the object
storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage
with other repositories whose refs you cannot see.
For instance, if you do:
$ git clone -s parent child
$ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true
$ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1
you now have additional safety when running git in the
parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an
error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will
continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations).
Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will
fail on every operation.
Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by
default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks
backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should
make explicitly.

Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository
core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is
unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of
git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set
of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of
unreachable, safe-to-prune objects).
If we were to bump the repository version for every such
change, then any implementation understanding version `X`
would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth,
even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts
of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot
implement one without the other (or more importantly, that
the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other,
weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that
particular feature).
This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion
strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a
repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of
extensions. This can be used, for example:
- to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based
only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it
has "clone --shared" children)
- that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual
"refs" and "packed-refs" directories
Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1"
requires that a running git knows about any extensions
mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not
do something dangerous when confronted with these new
formats.
For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for
refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to
"db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1"
and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not
know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend"
but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is
annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of
claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or
writing to a location that other implementations will not
read.
Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here.
We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that
is meant to be used by users and future extensions to
provide safety with older implementations.

Identical to support in `git receive-pack for the config option
`receive.fsck.skiplist`, we now support ignoring given objects in

The optional new config option `receive.fsck.skipList` specifies the path

are to be ignored by `git receive-pack` when `receive.fsckObjects = true`.
This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them

The intended use case is for server administrators to inspect objects
that are reported by `git push` as being too problematic to enter the
repository, and to add the objects' SHA-1 to a (preferably sorted) file
when the objects are legitimate, i.e. when it is determined that those
problematic objects should be allowed to enter the server.

We already have support in `git receive-pack` to deal with some legacy
repositories which have non-fatal issues.
Let's make `git fsck` itself useful with such repositories, too, by
allowing users to ignore known issues, or at least demote those issues
to mere warnings.
Example: `git -c fsck.missingEmail=ignore fsck` would hide
problems with missing emails in author, committer and tagger lines.
In the same spirit that `git receive-pack`'s usage of the fsck machinery
differs from `git fsck`'s – some of the non-fatal warnings in `git fsck`
are fatal with `git receive-pack` when receive.fsckObjects = true, for
example – we strictly separate the fsck.<msg-id> from the
receive.fsck.<msg-id> settings.

The unsigned long option parsing (including 'k'/'m'/'g' suffix
parsing) is more widely applicable. Add support for OPT_MAGNITUDE
to parse-options.h and change pack-objects.c use this support.
The error behavior on parse errors follows that of OPT_INTEGER. The
name of the option that failed to parse is reported with a brief
message describing the expect format for the option argument and
then the full usage message for the command invoked.
This differs from the previous behavior for OPT_ULONG used in
pack-objects for --max-pack-size and --window-memory which used to
display the value supplied in the error message and did not display
the full usage message.

It can sometimes be useful to examine all objects in the
repository. Normally this is done with "git rev-list --all
--objects", but:
1. That shows only reachable objects. You may want to look
at all available objects.
2. It's slow. We actually open each object to walk the
graph. If your operation is OK with seeing unreachable
objects, it's an order of magnitude faster to just
enumerate the loose directories and pack indices.
You can do this yourself using "ls" and "git show-index",
but it's non-obvious. This patch adds an option to
"cat-file --batch-check" to operate on all available
objects (rather than reading names from stdin).
This is based on a proposal by Charles Bailey to provide a
separate "git list-all-objects" command. That is more
orthogonal, as it splits enumerating the objects from
getting information about them. However, in practice you
will either:
a. Feed the list of objects directly into cat-file anyway,
so you can find out information about them. Keeping it
in a single process is more efficient.
b. Ask the listing process to start telling you more
information about the objects, in which case you will
reinvent cat-file's batch-check formatter.
Adding a cat-file option is simple and efficient. And if you
really do want just the object names, you can always do:
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' --batch-all-objects
