The static allow-list in expand_atom() is hardcoded to allow only
"objectname" and "objectsize" for remote queries. This works because,
up to this point, servers will either support object-info with name
and size or they do not support them at all.
As object-info gains new capabilities, we cannot expect different
servers with different Git versions to have the same object-info
capabilities. Therefore, the client needs to adapt its allow-list to
what the server advertises.
The client now:
1. Requests the protocol option that the placeholder refers to (i.e.
"size" for "%(objectsize)").
2. Drops any requested option that the server does not advertise in
fetch_object_info().
3. Maps the remaining advertised options back to their placeholders and
populates remote_allowed_atoms.
4. Uses remote_allowed_atoms in expand_atom(), preserving the previous
behavior for supported placeholders.
For example, if the client requests "%(objectsize) %(objecttype)" and
the server only supports 'size', then the client only requests 'size'.
The server returns the size (i.e "42") "%(objectsize)" is expanded
normally while "%(objecttype)" expands to an empty string:
"42 "
Note that the empty string expansion is only for known but unsupported
placeholders. "%(objectcolor)" which doesn't exist would die().
This honors what for-each-ref does for known but inapplicable atoms
(placeholders).
Move object_info_options out of get_remote_info() so the caller which
has data can select what options will be requested instead of requesting
always size.
Move batch_object_write() out so output is always produced.
If there are no supported attributes, the output is a blank line.
Include "type" in the object_info_options even though the client does
not yet know how to parse the server's "type" capability.
As a result, "type" is always filtered out, allowing the tests to verify
that known but unsupported placeholders expand to an empty string.
Since the filter removes options by swapping with the last element,
the list is no longer kept sorted. Drop the pre-sort in
fetch_object_info_via_pack() and use the unsorted string_list lookup
for the response header. This has no effect in performance as the list
can only be two entries long ('size' and 'type').

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc 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.adoc
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
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.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (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
