The format.attach configuration variable lacked a way to override a value defined in a lower-priority configuration file (e.g. the system one) by redefining it in a higher-priority configuration file.

2023-02-22credential: new attribute password_expiry_utcM Hickford
Some passwords have an expiry date known at generation. This may be years away for a personal access token or hours for an OAuth access token. When multiple credential helpers are configured, `credential fill` tries each helper in turn until it has a username and password, returning early. If Git authentication succeeds, `credential approve` stores the successful credential in all helpers. If authentication fails, `credential reject` erases matching credentials in all helpers. Helpers implement corresponding operations: get, store, erase. The credential protocol has no expiry attribute, so helpers cannot store expiry information. Even if a helper returned an improvised expiry attribute, git credential discards unrecognised attributes between operations and between helpers. This is a particular issue when a storage helper and a credential-generating helper are configured together: [credential] helper = storage # eg. cache or osxkeychain helper = generate # eg. oauth `credential approve` stores the generated credential in both helpers without expiry information. Later `credential fill` may return an expired credential from storage. There is no workaround, no matter how clever the second helper. The user sees authentication fail (a retry will succeed). Introduce a password expiry attribute. In `credential fill`, ignore expired passwords and continue to query subsequent helpers. In the example above, `credential fill` ignores the expired password and a fresh credential is generated. If authentication succeeds, `credential approve` replaces the expired password in storage. If authentication fails, the expired credential is erased by `credential reject`. It is unnecessary but harmless for storage helpers to self prune expired credentials. Add support for the new attribute to credential-cache. Eventually, I hope to see support in other popular storage helpers.

2023-02-21diff: teach diff to read algorithm from diff driverJohn Cai
It can be useful to specify diff algorithms per file type. For example, one may want to use the minimal diff algorithm for .json files, another for .c files, etc. The diff machinery already checks attributes for a diff driver. Teach the diff driver parser a new type "algorithm" to look for in the config, which will be used if a driver has been specified through the attributes. Enforce precedence of the diff algorithm by favoring the command line option, then looking at the driver attributes & config combination, then finally the diff.algorithm config. To enforce precedence order, use a new `ignore_driver_algorithm` member during options parsing to indicate the diff algorithm was set via command line args.

2023-02-18archive: add --mtimeRené Scharfe
Allow users to specify the modification time of archive entries. The new option --mtime uses approxidate() to parse a time specification and overrides the default of using the current time for trees and the commit time for tags and commits. It can be used to create a reproducible archive for a tree, or to use a specific mtime without creating a commit with GIT_COMMITTER_DATE set. This implementation doesn't support the negated form of the new option, i.e. --no-mtime is not accepted. It is not possible to have no mtime at all. We could use the Unix epoch or revert to the default behavior, but since negation is not necessary for the intended use it's left undecided for now.

2023-02-17format.attach: allow empty value to disable multi-part messagesJunio C Hamano
When a lower precedence configuration file (e.g. /etc/gitconfig) defines format.attach in any way, there was no way to disable it in a more specific configuration file (e.g. $HOME/.gitconfig). Change the behaviour of setting it to an empty string. It used to mean that the result is still a multipart message with only dashes used as a multi-part separator, but now it resets the setting to the default (which would be to give an inline patch, unless other command line options are in effect).

2023-02-15rev-list: clarify git-log default date formatJunio C Hamano
The documentation mistakenly said that the default format was similar to RFC 2822 format and tried to specify it by enumerating differences, which had two problems: * There are some more differences from the 2822 format that are not mentioned; worse yet * The default format is not modeled after RFC 2822 format at all. As can be seen in f80cd783 (date.c: add "show_date()" function., 2005-05-06), it is a derivative of ctime(3) format. Stop saying that it is similar to RFC 2822, and rewrite the description to explain the format without requiring the reader to know any other format. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
