If --no-prune is passed to one of the following commands:

    git fetch --all
    git fetch --multiple
    git fetch --recurse-submodules
    git remote update

then it must also be passed to the "fetch" subprocesses that those
commands use to do their work.  Otherwise there might be a fetch.prune
or remote.<name>.prune configuration setting that causes pruning to
occur, contrary to the user's express wish.

The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being
fetched.  In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only
to be fetched, but also to be pruned.  This is inappropriate because
there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local
repository and all remotes.  Therefore, if the user defines a local
tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is
deleted.  Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via
fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it
even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in
tag lossage.

Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the
same problem.

The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the
setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent
with that of the other commands.

So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags.  To fix this
problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on
refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line
or via remote.<name>.fetch.  Thus, tags are no longer made subject to
pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.

However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as
part of a refspec, and that is good.  For example:

* On the command line,

      git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'

  causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is
  therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old
  behavior of "--prune --tag".

* For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the
  configuration is set to include

      [remote "name"]
              fetch = +refs/*:refs/*

  , which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other
  references.  This is the behavior that will typically be desired for
  a mirror.

Previously, fetch's "--tags" option was considered equivalent to
specifying the refspec "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" on the command line;
in particular, it caused the remote.<name>.refspec configuration to be
ignored.

But it is not very useful to fetch tags without also fetching other
references, whereas it *is* quite useful to be able to fetch tags *in
addition to* other references.  So change the semantics of this option
to do the latter.

If a user wants to fetch *only* tags, then it is still possible to
specifying an explicit refspec:

    git fetch <remote> 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'

Please note that the documentation prior to 1.8.0.3 was ambiguous
about this aspect of "fetch --tags" behavior.  Commit

The old code processed (tags == TAGS_SET) before adding the entries
used to opportunistically update references mentioned on the command
line.  The result was that all tags were also considered candidates
for opportunistic updating.

This is harmless for two reasons: (a) because it would only add
entries if there is a configured refspec that covers tags *and* both
--tags and another refspec appear on the command-line; (b) because any
extra entries would be deleted later by the call to
ref_remove_duplicates() anyway.

But, to avoid extra work and extra memory usage, and to make the
implementation better match the intention, change the algorithm
slightly: compute the opportunistic refspecs based only on the
command-line arguments, storing the results into a separate temporary
list.  Then add the tags (which have to come earlier in the list so
that they are not de-duped in favor of an opportunistic entry).  Then
concatenate the temporary list onto the main list.

This change will also make later changes easier.

A Git-aware "connect" transport allows the "transport_take_over" to
redirect generic transport requests like fetch(), push_refs() and
get_refs_list() to the native Git transport handling methods.  The
take-over process replaces transport->data with a fake data that
these method implementations understand.

While this hack works OK for a single request, it breaks when the
transport needs to make more than one requests.  transport->data
that used to hold necessary information for the specific helper to
work correctly is destroyed during the take-over process.

One codepath that this matters is "git fetch" in auto-follow mode;
when it does not get all the tags that ought to point at the history
it got (which can be determined by looking at the peeled tags in the
initial advertisement) from the primary transfer, it internally
makes a second request to complete the fetch.  Because "take-over"
hack has already destroyed the data necessary to talk to the
transport helper by the time this happens, the second request cannot
make a request to the helper to make another connection to fetch
these additional tags.

Mark such a transport as "cannot_reuse", and use a separate
transport to perform the backfill fetch in order to work around
this breakage.

Note that this problem does not manifest itself when running t5802,
because our upload-pack gives you all the necessary auto-followed
tags during the primary transfer.  You would need to step through
"git fetch" in a debugger, stop immediately after the primary
transfer finishes and writes these auto-followed tags, remove the
tag references and repack/prune the repository to convince the
"find-non-local-tags" procedure that the primary transfer failed to
give us all the necessary tags, and then let it continue, in order
to trigger the bug in the secondary transfer this patch fixes.

Usually the upload-pack process running on the other side will give
us all the reachable tags we need during the primary object transfer
in do_fetch().  If that does not happen (e.g. the other side may be
running a third-party implementation of upload-pack), we will run
another fetch to pick up leftover tags that we know point at the
commits reachable from our updated tips.

Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever.  Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".

To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":

 - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.

 - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.

The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.

Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

When we run a regular "git fetch" without arguments, we
update the tracking refs according to the configured
refspec. However, when we run "git fetch origin master" (or
"git pull origin master"), we do not look at the configured
refspecs at all, and just update FETCH_HEAD.

We miss an opportunity to update "refs/remotes/origin/master"
(or whatever the user has configured). Some users find this
confusing, because they would want to do further comparisons
against the old state of the remote master, like:

  $ git pull origin master
  $ git log HEAD...origin/master

In the currnet code, they are comparing against whatever
commit happened to be in origin/master from the last time
they did a complete "git fetch".  This patch will update a
ref from the RHS of a configured refspec whenever we happen
to be fetching its LHS. That makes the case above work.

The downside is that any users who really care about whether
and when their tracking branches are updated may be
surprised.

Each "struct ref" has a boolean flag that is set by the
fetch code to determine whether the ref should be marked as
"not-for-merge" or not when we write it out to FETCH_HEAD.

It would be useful to turn this boolean into a tri-state,
with the third state meaning "do not bother writing it out
to FETCH_HEAD at all". That would let us add extra refs to
the set of refs to be stored (e.g., to store copies of
things we fetched) without impacting FETCH_HEAD.

This patch turns it into an enum that covers the tri-state
case, and hopefully makes the code more explicit and easier

We generally try to run "gc --auto" after any commands that
might introduce a large number of new objects. An obvious
place to do so is after running "fetch", which may introduce
new loose objects or packs (depending on the size of the
fetch).

While an active developer repository will probably
eventually trigger a "gc --auto" on another action (e.g.,
git-rebase), there are two good reasons why it is nicer to
do it at fetch time:

  1. Read-only repositories which track an upstream (e.g., a
     continuous integration server which fetches and builds,
     but never makes new commits) will accrue loose objects
     and small packs, but never coalesce them into a more
     efficient larger pack.

  2. Fetching is often already perceived to be slow to the
     user, since they have to wait on the network. It's much
     more pleasant to include a potentially slow auto-gc as
     part of the already-long network fetch than in the
     middle of productive work with git-rebase or similar.

The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo
now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the
longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some
guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias
for --depth=2147483647.

Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The
effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is
more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom
anymore.

The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits
depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is
probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or
subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually
happens.

fetch_populated_submodules() allocates the full argv array it uses to
recurse into the submodules from the number of given options plus the six
argv values it is going to add. It then initializes it with those values
which won't change during the iteration and copies the given options into
it. Inside the loop the two argv values different for each submodule get
replaced with those currently valid.

However, this technique is brittle and error-prone (as the comment to
explain the magic number 6 indicates), so let's replace it with an
argv_array. Instead of replacing the argv values, push them to the

Since 88a21979 (fetch/pull: recurse into submodules when necessary) all
fetched commits are examined if they contain submodule changes (unless
configuration or command line options inhibit that). If a newly recorded
submodule commit is not present in the submodule, a fetch is run inside
it to download that commit.

Checking new refs was done in an else branch where it wasn't executed for
tags. This normally isn't a problem because tags are only fetched with
the branches they live on, then checking the new commits in the fetched
branches for submodule commits will also process all tags. But when a
specific tag is fetched (or the refspec contains refs/tags/) commits only
reachable by tags won't be searched for submodule commits, which is a bug.

Fix that by moving the code outside the if/else construct to handle new
tags just like any other ref. The performance impact of adding tags that
most of the time lie on a branch which is checked anyway for new submodule
commit should be minimal, as since 6859de45 (fetch: avoid quadratic loop
checking for updated submodules) all ref-tips are collected first and then
fed to a single rev-list.

The FETCH_HEAD refname is supposed to refer to the ref that was fetched
and should be merged. However all fetched refs are written to
.git/FETCH_HEAD in an arbitrary order, and resolve_ref_unsafe simply
takes the first ref as the FETCH_HEAD, which is often the wrong one,
when other branches were also fetched.

The solution is to write the for-merge ref(s) to FETCH_HEAD first.
Then, unless --append is used, the FETCH_HEAD refname behaves as intended.
If the user uses --append, they presumably are doing so in order to
preserve the old FETCH_HEAD.

While we are at it, update an old example in the read-tree documentation
