Eclipse JGit: Java implementation of Git 4.5

Features

  • Push implementation of option strings.

    Example usage:

        $ ./jgit push \

          --push-option "Reviewer=j.doe@example.org" \

          --push-option "<arbitrary string>" \

          origin HEAD:refs/for/master

    Push options were also added to cgit
  • Packet logging for JGit

    Imitate the packet tracing feature from C Git. Unlike C Git, use the log4j

    log level setting instead of the GIT_TRACE_PACKET environment variable

    to enable tracing. Use as follows:

    1. Enable tracing by adding the lines

            log4j.logger.org.eclipse.jgit.transport=DEBUG, stderr

            log4j.additivity.org.eclipse.jgit.transport=false

        to org.eclipse.jgit.pgm/resources/log4j.properties.

    2. mvn package

    3. org.eclipse.jgit.pgm/target/jgit \

            ls-remote git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git 2>&1 | less

    Then the output provides a trace of packets sent and received over the wire
  • Shallow fetch/clone: Make --depth mean the total history depth

    cgit changed the --depth parameter to mean the total depth of history

    rather than the depth of ancestors to be returned. JGit still uses

    the latter meaning, so update it to match cgit.
  • Shallow fetch: Respect "shallow" lines
  • ReceivePack: report protocol parsing failures on channel 3
  • Push: Report fatal server errors during pack writing
  • Add configureJSch() method to allow configuration of JSch objects
  • Add support for post-commit hooks
  • Enhance ResetCommand to allow disabling reflog update

JGit Command Line

  • Added a clean command.
  • Tag command: implement option -d for deleting tags

LFS

  • improve exception handling in LfsProtocolServlet
