When we start the git-fetch program, we call git_config to load all config, but our callback only processes the fetch.prune option; we do not chain to git_default_config at all. This means that we may not load some core configuration which will have an effect. For instance, we do not load core.logAllRefUpdates, which impacts whether or not we create reflogs in a bare repository. Note that I said "may" above. It gets even more exciting. If we have to transfer actual objects as part of the fetch, then we call fetch_pack as part of the same process. That function loads its own config, which does chain to git_default_config, impacting global variables which are used by the rest of fetch. But if the fetch is a pure ref update (e.g., a new ref which is a copy of an old one), we skip fetch_pack entirely. So we get inconsistent results depending on whether or not we have actual objects to transfer or not! Let's just load the core config at the start of fetch, so we know we have it (we may also load it again as part of fetch_pack, but that's OK; it's designed to be idempotent). Our tests check both cases (with and without a pack). We also check similar behavior for push for good measure, but it already works as expected.

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
