2013-02-22Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling pathsMichael Haggerty
Commit 1b77d83cab 'setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths' changed the setup code to resolve symlinks in the entries in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES. Because those entries are compared textually to the symlink-resolved current directory, an entry in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contained a symlink would have no effect. It was known that this could cause performance problems if the symlink resolution *itself* touched slow filesystems, but it was thought that such use cases would be unlikely. The intention of the earlier change was to deal with a case when the user has this: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/home/gitster but in reality, /home/gitster is a symbolic link to somewhere else, e.g. /net/machine/home4/gitster. A textual comparison between the specified value /home/gitster and the location getcwd(3) returns would not help us, but readlink("/home/gitster") would still be fast. After this change was released, Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> reported: > [...] my computer has been acting so slow when I’m not connected to > the network. I put various network filesystem paths in > $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, such as > /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n/andersk (to avoid hitting its parents > /afs/athena.mit.edu, /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a, and > /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n which all live in different AFS > volumes). Now when I’m not connected to the network, every > invocation of Git, including the __git_ps1 in my shell prompt, waits > for AFS to timeout. To allow users to work around this problem, give them a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES entries. All the entries that follow an empty entry will not be checked for symbolic links and used literally in comparison. E.g. with these: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=:/foo/bar:/xyzzy or GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/foo/bar::/xyzzy we will not readlink("/xyzzy") because it comes after an empty entry. With the former (but not with the latter), "/foo/bar" comes after an empty entry, and we will not readlink it, either.

2013-02-15git.txt: update description of the configuration mechanismMatthieu Moy
The old Git version where it appeared is now useful only to historians, not to normal users. Also, the text was mentioning only the per-repo config file, but this is a good place to teach that customization can also be made per-user. While at it, remove a now-defunct e-mail from an example.

2012-10-14doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEMJonathan Nieder
On a multiuser system where mortals do not have write access to /etc, the GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM variable is the best tool we have to keep getting work done when a syntax error or other problem renders /etc/gitconfig buggy, until the sysadmin sorts the problem out. Noticed while experimenting with teaching git to error out when /etc/gitconfig is unreadable.

The second paragraph in the git(1) description section were meant to guide people who are not ready to dive into this page away from here. Referring migrating CVS users to another page before they get acquainted with Git was somewhat out of place. Move the reference to the "FURTHER DOCUMENTATION" section and push that section down.
