This patch series adds a flag to git push to update the remote refs atomically.
All comments from Eric and Junio have been incorporated.
The patch to negotiate the atomic push protocol was ripped apart
and we have one commit for the receiving side and one for the sending side,
so the order of new functionality introduced should not bring any bisect
breakages.
The remote side learned the receive.advertiseatomic config option
and a test was added, that the user cannot push any more if they ask
for --atomic but the server doesn't advertise atomic.
But as of writing this cover letter I have a question on the security
implications here. If we ask the remote side to not advertise atomic,
(say because of some problem with too many file descriptors open)
but the client side (being a malicious client, not possible with the code
presented in this patch series) does ask for atomic, the server should not
obey the request to handle it atomic. I just added that as well.
How about other capabilites requested such as "report-status",
"side-band-64k" and "quiet" ?
This series applies on top of origin/mh/reflog-expire
Any comments are welcome!
Thanks,
Stefan
