+allocation growing API
+======================
+
+Dynamically growing an array using realloc() is error prone and boring.
+
+Define your array with:
+
+* a pointer (`item`) that points at the array, initialized to `NULL`
+  (although please name the variable based on its contents, not on its
+  type);
+
+* an integer variable (`alloc`) that keeps track of how big the current
+  allocation is, initialized to `0`;
+
+* another integer variable (`nr`) to keep track of how many elements the
+  array currently has, initialized to `0`.
+
+Then before adding `n`th element to the item, call `ALLOC_GROW(item, n,
+alloc)`.  This ensures that the array can hold at least `n` elements by
+calling `realloc(3)` and adjusting `alloc` variable.
+
+------------
+sometype *item;
+size_t nr;
+size_t alloc
+
+for (i = 0; i < nr; i++)
+	if (we like item[i] already)
+		return;
+
+/* we did not like any existing one, so add one */
+ALLOC_GROW(item, nr + 1, alloc);
+item[nr++] = value you like;
+------------
+
+You are responsible for updating the `nr` variable.
+
+If you need to specify the number of elements to allocate explicitly
+then use the macro `REALLOC_ARRAY(item, alloc)` instead of `ALLOC_GROW`.

+argv-array API
+==============
+
+The argv-array API allows one to dynamically build and store
+NULL-terminated lists.  An argv-array maintains the invariant that the
+`argv` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
+always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `argv[argc]`. This
+makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive
+argv from main(), or the link:api-run-command.html[run-command API].
+
+The string-list API (documented in string-list.h) is similar, but cannot be
+used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer,
+it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible
+with the traditional argv interface.
+
+Each `argv_array` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the
+array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by argv_array_clear().
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct argv_array`::
+
+	A single array. This should be initialized by assignment from
+	`ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`, or by calling `argv_array_init`. The `argv`
+	member contains the actual array; the `argc` member contains the
+	number of elements in the array, not including the terminating
+	NULL.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`argv_array_init`::
+	Initialize an array. This is no different than assigning from
+	`ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`.
+
+`argv_array_push`::
+	Push a copy of a string onto the end of the array.
+
+`argv_array_pushl`::
+	Push a list of strings onto the end of the array. The arguments
+	should be a list of `const char *` strings, terminated by a NULL
+	argument.
+
+`argv_array_pushf`::
+	Format a string and push it onto the end of the array. This is a
+	convenience wrapper combining `strbuf_addf` and `argv_array_push`.
+
+`argv_array_pushv`::
+	Push a null-terminated array of strings onto the end of the array.
+
+`argv_array_pop`::
+	Remove the final element from the array. If there are no
+	elements in the array, do nothing.
+
+`argv_array_clear`::
+	Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
+	initial, empty state.
+
+`argv_array_detach`::
+	Disconnect the `argv` member from the `argv_array` struct and
+	return it. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory used
+	by the array, and by the strings it references. After detaching,
+	the `argv_array` is in a reinitialized state and can be pushed
+	into again.

+config API
+==========
+
+The config API gives callers a way to access Git configuration files
+(and files which have the same syntax). See linkgit:git-config[1] for a
+discussion of the config file syntax.
+
+General Usage
+-------------
+
+Config files are parsed linearly, and each variable found is passed to a
+caller-provided callback function. The callback function is responsible
+for any actions to be taken on the config option, and is free to ignore
+some options. It is not uncommon for the configuration to be parsed
+several times during the run of a Git program, with different callbacks
+picking out different variables useful to themselves.
+
+A config callback function takes three parameters:
+
+- the name of the parsed variable. This is in canonical "flat" form: the
+  section, subsection, and variable segments will be separated by dots,
+  and the section and variable segments will be all lowercase. E.g.,
+  `core.ignorecase`, `diff.SomeType.textconv`.
+
+- the value of the found variable, as a string. If the variable had no
+  value specified, the value will be NULL (typically this means it
+  should be interpreted as boolean true).
+
+- a void pointer passed in by the caller of the config API; this can
+  contain callback-specific data
+
+A config callback should return 0 for success, or -1 if the variable
+could not be parsed properly.
+
+Basic Config Querying
+---------------------
+
+Most programs will simply want to look up variables in all config files
+that Git knows about, using the normal precedence rules. To do this,
+call `git_config` with a callback function and void data pointer.
+
+`git_config` will read all config sources in order of increasing
+priority. Thus a callback should typically overwrite previously-seen
+entries with new ones (e.g., if both the user-wide `~/.gitconfig` and
+repo-specific `.git/config` contain `color.ui`, the config machinery
+will first feed the user-wide one to the callback, and then the
+repo-specific one; by overwriting, the higher-priority repo-specific
+value is left at the end).
+
+The `config_with_options` function lets the caller examine config
+while adjusting some of the default behavior of `git_config`. It should
+almost never be used by "regular" Git code that is looking up
+configuration variables. It is intended for advanced callers like
+`git-config`, which are intentionally tweaking the normal config-lookup
+process. It takes two extra parameters:
+
+`config_source`::
+If this parameter is non-NULL, it specifies the source to parse for
+configuration, rather than looking in the usual files. See `struct
+git_config_source` in `config.h` for details. Regular `git_config` defaults
+to `NULL`.
+
+`opts`::
+Specify options to adjust the behavior of parsing config files. See `struct
+config_options` in `config.h` for details. As an example: regular `git_config`
+sets `opts.respect_includes` to `1` by default.
+
+Reading Specific Files
+----------------------
+
+To read a specific file in git-config format, use
+`git_config_from_file`. This takes the same callback and data parameters
+as `git_config`.
+
+Querying For Specific Variables
+-------------------------------
+
+For programs wanting to query for specific variables in a non-callback
+manner, the config API provides two functions `git_config_get_value`
+and `git_config_get_value_multi`. They both read values from an internal
+cache generated previously from reading the config files.
+
+`int git_config_get_value(const char *key, const char **value)`::
+
+	Finds the highest-priority value for the configuration variable `key`,
+	stores the pointer to it in `value` and returns 0. When the
+	configuration variable `key` is not found, returns 1 without touching
+	`value`. The caller should not free or modify `value`, as it is owned
+	by the cache.
+
+`const struct string_list *git_config_get_value_multi(const char *key)`::
+
+	Finds and returns the value list, sorted in order of increasing priority
+	for the configuration variable `key`. When the configuration variable
+	`key` is not found, returns NULL. The caller should not free or modify
+	the returned pointer, as it is owned by the cache.
+
+`void git_config_clear(void)`::
+
+	Resets and invalidates the config cache.
+
+The config API also provides type specific API functions which do conversion
+as well as retrieval for the queried variable, including:
+
+`int git_config_get_int(const char *key, int *dest)`::
+
+	Finds and parses the value to an integer for the configuration variable
+	`key`. Dies on error; otherwise, stores the value of the parsed integer in
+	`dest` and returns 0. When the configuration variable `key` is not found,
+	returns 1 without touching `dest`.
+
+`int git_config_get_ulong(const char *key, unsigned long *dest)`::
+
+	Similar to `git_config_get_int` but for unsigned longs.
+
+`int git_config_get_bool(const char *key, int *dest)`::
+
+	Finds and parses the value into a boolean value, for the configuration
+	variable `key` respecting keywords like "true" and "false". Integer
+	values are converted into true/false values (when they are non-zero or
+	zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If parsing is successful,
+	stores the value of the parsed result in `dest` and returns 0. When the
+	configuration variable `key` is not found, returns 1 without touching
+	`dest`.
+
+`int git_config_get_bool_or_int(const char *key, int *is_bool, int *dest)`::
+
+	Similar to `git_config_get_bool`, except that integers are copied as-is,
+	and `is_bool` flag is unset.
+
+`int git_config_get_maybe_bool(const char *key, int *dest)`::
+
+	Similar to `git_config_get_bool`, except that it returns -1 on error
+	rather than dying.
+
+`int git_config_get_string_const(const char *key, const char **dest)`::
+
+	Allocates and copies the retrieved string into the `dest` parameter for
+	the configuration variable `key`; if NULL string is given, prints an
+	error message and returns -1. When the configuration variable `key` is
+	not found, returns 1 without touching `dest`.
+
+`int git_config_get_string(const char *key, char **dest)`::
+
+	Similar to `git_config_get_string_const`, except that retrieved value
+	copied into the `dest` parameter is a mutable string.
+
+`int git_config_get_pathname(const char *key, const char **dest)`::
+
+	Similar to `git_config_get_string`, but expands `~` or `~user` into
+	the user's home directory when found at the beginning of the path.
+
+`git_die_config(const char *key, const char *err, ...)`::
+
+	First prints the error message specified by the caller in `err` and then
+	dies printing the line number and the file name of the highest priority
+	value for the configuration variable `key`.
+
+`void git_die_config_linenr(const char *key, const char *filename, int linenr)`::
+
+	Helper function which formats the die error message according to the
+	parameters entered. Used by `git_die_config()`. It can be used by callers
+	handling `git_config_get_value_multi()` to print the correct error message
+	for the desired value.
+
+See test-config.c for usage examples.
+
+Value Parsing Helpers
+---------------------
+
+To aid in parsing string values, the config API provides callbacks with
+a number of helper functions, including:
+
+`git_config_int`::
+Parse the string to an integer, including unit factors. Dies on error;
+otherwise, returns the parsed result.
+
+`git_config_ulong`::
+Identical to `git_config_int`, but for unsigned longs.
+
+`git_config_bool`::
+Parse a string into a boolean value, respecting keywords like "true" and
+"false". Integer values are converted into true/false values (when they
+are non-zero or zero, respectively). Other values cause a die(). If
+parsing is successful, the return value is the result.
+
+`git_config_bool_or_int`::
+Same as `git_config_bool`, except that integers are returned as-is, and
+an `is_bool` flag is unset.
+
+`git_parse_maybe_bool`::
+Same as `git_config_bool`, except that it returns -1 on error rather
+than dying.
+
+`git_config_string`::
+Allocates and copies the value string into the `dest` parameter; if no
+string is given, prints an error message and returns -1.
+
+`git_config_pathname`::
+Similar to `git_config_string`, but expands `~` or `~user` into the
+user's home directory when found at the beginning of the path.
+
+Include Directives
+------------------
+
+By default, the config parser does not respect include directives.
+However, a caller can use the special `git_config_include` wrapper
+callback to support them. To do so, you simply wrap your "real" callback
+function and data pointer in a `struct config_include_data`, and pass
+the wrapper to the regular config-reading functions. For example:
+
+-------------------------------------------
+int read_file_with_include(const char *file, config_fn_t fn, void *data)
+{
+	struct config_include_data inc = CONFIG_INCLUDE_INIT;
+	inc.fn = fn;
+	inc.data = data;
+	return git_config_from_file(git_config_include, file, &inc);
+}
+-------------------------------------------
+
+`git_config` respects includes automatically. The lower-level
+`git_config_from_file` does not.
+
+Custom Configsets
+-----------------
+
+A `config_set` can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
+config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
+`~/.gitconfig` etc.). For example,
+
+----------------------------------------
+struct config_set gm_config;
+git_configset_init(&gm_config);
+int b;
+/* we add config files to the config_set */
+git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules");
+git_configset_add_file(&gm_config, ".gitmodules_alt");
+
+if (!git_configset_get_bool(gm_config, "submodule.frotz.ignore", &b)) {
+	/* hack hack hack */
+}
+
+/* when we are done with the configset */
+git_configset_clear(&gm_config);
+----------------------------------------
+
+Configset API provides functions for the above mentioned work flow, including:
+
+`void git_configset_init(struct config_set *cs)`::
+
+	Initializes the config_set `cs`.
+
+`int git_configset_add_file(struct config_set *cs, const char *filename)`::
+
+	Parses the file and adds the variable-value pairs to the `config_set`,
+	dies if there is an error in parsing the file. Returns 0 on success, or
+	-1 if the file does not exist or is inaccessible. The user has to decide
+	if he wants to free the incomplete configset or continue using it when
+	the function returns -1.
+
+`int git_configset_get_value(struct config_set *cs, const char *key, const char **value)`::
+
+	Finds the highest-priority value for the configuration variable `key`
+	and config set `cs`, stores the pointer to it in `value` and returns 0.
+	When the configuration variable `key` is not found, returns 1 without
+	touching `value`. The caller should not free or modify `value`, as it
+	is owned by the cache.
+
+`const struct string_list *git_configset_get_value_multi(struct config_set *cs, const char *key)`::
+
+	Finds and returns the value list, sorted in order of increasing priority
+	for the configuration variable `key` and config set `cs`. When the
+	configuration variable `key` is not found, returns NULL. The caller
+	should not free or modify the returned pointer, as it is owned by the cache.
+
+`void git_configset_clear(struct config_set *cs)`::
+
+	Clears `config_set` structure, removes all saved variable-value pairs.
+
+In addition to above functions, the `config_set` API provides type specific
+functions in the vein of `git_config_get_int` and family but with an extra
+parameter, pointer to struct `config_set`.
+They all behave similarly to the `git_config_get*()` family described in
+"Querying For Specific Variables" above.
+
+Writing Config Files
+--------------------
+
+Git gives multiple entry points in the Config API to write config values to
+files namely `git_config_set_in_file` and `git_config_set`, which write to
+a specific config file or to `.git/config` respectively. They both take a
+key/value pair as parameter.
+In the end they both call `git_config_set_multivar_in_file` which takes four
+parameters:
+
+- the name of the file, as a string, to which key/value pairs will be written.
+
+- the name of key, as a string. This is in canonical "flat" form: the section,
+  subsection, and variable segments will be separated by dots, and the section
+  and variable segments will be all lowercase.
+  E.g., `core.ignorecase`, `diff.SomeType.textconv`.
+
+- the value of the variable, as a string. If value is equal to NULL, it will
+  remove the matching key from the config file.
+
+- the value regex, as a string. It will disregard key/value pairs where value
+  does not match.
+
+- a multi_replace value, as an int. If value is equal to zero, nothing or only
+  one matching key/value is replaced, else all matching key/values (regardless
+  how many) are removed, before the new pair is written.
+
+It returns 0 on success.
+
+Also, there are functions `git_config_rename_section` and
+`git_config_rename_section_in_file` with parameters `old_name` and `new_name`
+for renaming or removing sections in the config files. If NULL is passed
+through `new_name` parameter, the section will be removed from the config file.

+credentials API
+===============
+
+The credentials API provides an abstracted way of gathering username and
+password credentials from the user (even though credentials in the wider
+world can take many forms, in this document the word "credential" always
+refers to a username and password pair).
+
+This document describes two interfaces: the C API that the credential
+subsystem provides to the rest of Git, and the protocol that Git uses to
+communicate with system-specific "credential helpers". If you are
+writing Git code that wants to look up or prompt for credentials, see
+the section "C API" below. If you want to write your own helper, see
+the section on "Credential Helpers" below.
+
+Typical setup
+-------------
+
+------------
++-----------------------+
+| Git code (C)          |--- to server requiring --->
+|                       |        authentication
+|.......................|
+| C credential API      |--- prompt ---> User
++-----------------------+
+	^      |
+	| pipe |
+	|      v
++-----------------------+
+| Git credential helper |
++-----------------------+
+------------
+
+The Git code (typically a remote-helper) will call the C API to obtain
+credential data like a login/password pair (credential_fill). The
+API will itself call a remote helper (e.g. "git credential-cache" or
+"git credential-store") that may retrieve credential data from a
+store. If the credential helper cannot find the information, the C API
+will prompt the user. Then, the caller of the API takes care of
+contacting the server, and does the actual authentication.
+
+C API
+-----
+
+The credential C API is meant to be called by Git code which needs to
+acquire or store a credential. It is centered around an object
+representing a single credential and provides three basic operations:
+fill (acquire credentials by calling helpers and/or prompting the user),
+approve (mark a credential as successfully used so that it can be stored
+for later use), and reject (mark a credential as unsuccessful so that it
+can be erased from any persistent storage).
+
+Data Structures
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+`struct credential`::
+
+	This struct represents a single username/password combination
+	along with any associated context. All string fields should be
+	heap-allocated (or NULL if they are not known or not applicable).
+	The meaning of the individual context fields is the same as
+	their counterparts in the helper protocol; see the section below
+	for a description of each field.
++
+The `helpers` member of the struct is a `string_list` of helpers.  Each
+string specifies an external helper which will be run, in order, to
+either acquire or store credentials. See the section on credential
+helpers below. This list is filled-in by the API functions
+according to the corresponding configuration variables before
+consulting helpers, so there usually is no need for a caller to
+modify the helpers field at all.
++
+This struct should always be initialized with `CREDENTIAL_INIT` or
+`credential_init`.
+
+
+Functions
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+`credential_init`::
+
+	Initialize a credential structure, setting all fields to empty.
+
+`credential_clear`::
+
+	Free any resources associated with the credential structure,
+	returning it to a pristine initialized state.
+
+`credential_fill`::
+
+	Instruct the credential subsystem to fill the username and
+	password fields of the passed credential struct by first
+	consulting helpers, then asking the user. After this function
+	returns, the username and password fields of the credential are
+	guaranteed to be non-NULL. If an error occurs, the function will
+	die().
+
+`credential_reject`::
+
+	Inform the credential subsystem that the provided credentials
+	have been rejected. This will cause the credential subsystem to
+	notify any helpers of the rejection (which allows them, for
+	example, to purge the invalid credentials from storage).  It
+	will also free() the username and password fields of the
+	credential and set them to NULL (readying the credential for
+	another call to `credential_fill`). Any errors from helpers are
+	ignored.
+
+`credential_approve`::
+
+	Inform the credential subsystem that the provided credentials
+	were successfully used for authentication.  This will cause the
+	credential subsystem to notify any helpers of the approval, so
+	that they may store the result to be used again.  Any errors
+	from helpers are ignored.
+
+`credential_from_url`::
+
+	Parse a URL into broken-down credential fields.
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+The example below shows how the functions of the credential API could be
+used to login to a fictitious "foo" service on a remote host:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+int foo_login(struct foo_connection *f)
+{
+	int status;
+	/*
+	 * Create a credential with some context; we don't yet know the
+	 * username or password.
+	 */
+
+	struct credential c = CREDENTIAL_INIT;
+	c.protocol = xstrdup("foo");
+	c.host = xstrdup(f->hostname);
+
+	/*
+	 * Fill in the username and password fields by contacting
+	 * helpers and/or asking the user. The function will die if it
+	 * fails.
+	 */
+	credential_fill(&c);
+
+	/*
+	 * Otherwise, we have a username and password. Try to use it.
+	 */
+	status = send_foo_login(f, c.username, c.password);
+	switch (status) {
+	case FOO_OK:
+		/* It worked. Store the credential for later use. */
+		credential_accept(&c);
+		break;
+	case FOO_BAD_LOGIN:
+		/* Erase the credential from storage so we don't try it
+		 * again. */
+		credential_reject(&c);
+		break;
+	default:
+		/*
+		 * Some other error occurred. We don't know if the
+		 * credential is good or bad, so report nothing to the
+		 * credential subsystem.
+		 */
+	}
+
+	/* Free any associated resources. */
+	credential_clear(&c);
+
+	return status;
+}
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Credential Helpers
+------------------
+
+Credential helpers are programs executed by Git to fetch or save
+credentials from and to long-term storage (where "long-term" is simply
+longer than a single Git process; e.g., credentials may be stored
+in-memory for a few minutes, or indefinitely on disk).
+
+Each helper is specified by a single string in the configuration
+variable `credential.helper` (and others, see linkgit:git-config[1]).
+The string is transformed by Git into a command to be executed using
+these rules:
+
+  1. If the helper string begins with "!", it is considered a shell
+     snippet, and everything after the "!" becomes the command.
+
+  2. Otherwise, if the helper string begins with an absolute path, the
+     verbatim helper string becomes the command.
+
+  3. Otherwise, the string "git credential-" is prepended to the helper
+     string, and the result becomes the command.
+
+The resulting command then has an "operation" argument appended to it
+(see below for details), and the result is executed by the shell.
+
+Here are some example specifications:
+
+----------------------------------------------------
+# run "git credential-foo"
+foo
+
+# same as above, but pass an argument to the helper
+foo --bar=baz
+
+# the arguments are parsed by the shell, so use shell
+# quoting if necessary
+foo --bar="whitespace arg"
+
+# you can also use an absolute path, which will not use the git wrapper
+/path/to/my/helper --with-arguments
+
+# or you can specify your own shell snippet
+!f() { echo "password=`cat $HOME/.secret`"; }; f
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Generally speaking, rule (3) above is the simplest for users to specify.
+Authors of credential helpers should make an effort to assist their
+users by naming their program "git-credential-$NAME", and putting it in
+the $PATH or $GIT_EXEC_PATH during installation, which will allow a user
+to enable it with `git config credential.helper $NAME`.
+
+When a helper is executed, it will have one "operation" argument
+appended to its command line, which is one of:
+
+`get`::
+
+	Return a matching credential, if any exists.
+
+`store`::
+
+	Store the credential, if applicable to the helper.
+
+`erase`::
+
+	Remove a matching credential, if any, from the helper's storage.
+
+The details of the credential will be provided on the helper's stdin
+stream. The exact format is the same as the input/output format of the
+`git credential` plumbing command (see the section `INPUT/OUTPUT
+FORMAT` in linkgit:git-credential[1] for a detailed specification).
+
+For a `get` operation, the helper should produce a list of attributes
+on stdout in the same format. A helper is free to produce a subset, or
+even no values at all if it has nothing useful to provide. Any provided
+attributes will overwrite those already known about by Git.  If a helper
+outputs a `quit` attribute with a value of `true` or `1`, no further
+helpers will be consulted, nor will the user be prompted (if no
+credential has been provided, the operation will then fail).
+
+For a `store` or `erase` operation, the helper's output is ignored.
+If it fails to perform the requested operation, it may complain to
+stderr to inform the user. If it does not support the requested
+operation (e.g., a read-only store), it should silently ignore the
+request.
+
+If a helper receives any other operation, it should silently ignore the
+request. This leaves room for future operations to be added (older
+helpers will just ignore the new requests).

+diff API
+========
+
+The diff API is for programs that compare two sets of files (e.g. two
+trees, one tree and the index) and present the found difference in
+various ways.  The calling program is responsible for feeding the API
+pairs of files, one from the "old" set and the corresponding one from
+"new" set, that are different.  The library called through this API is
+called diffcore, and is responsible for two things.
+
+* finding total rewrites (`-B`), renames (`-M`) and copies (`-C`), and
+  changes that touch a string (`-S`), as specified by the caller.
+
+* outputting the differences in various formats, as specified by the
+  caller.
+
+Calling sequence
+----------------
+
+* Prepare `struct diff_options` to record the set of diff options, and
+  then call `repo_diff_setup()` to initialize this structure.  This
+  sets up the vanilla default.
+
+* Fill in the options structure to specify desired output format, rename
+  detection, etc.  `diff_opt_parse()` can be used to parse options given
+  from the command line in a way consistent with existing git-diff
+  family of programs.
+
+* Call `diff_setup_done()`; this inspects the options set up so far for
+  internal consistency and make necessary tweaking to it (e.g. if
+  textual patch output was asked, recursive behaviour is turned on);
+  the callback set_default in diff_options can be used to tweak this more.
+
+* As you find different pairs of files, call `diff_change()` to feed
+  modified files, `diff_addremove()` to feed created or deleted files,
+  or `diff_unmerge()` to feed a file whose state is 'unmerged' to the
+  API.  These are thin wrappers to a lower-level `diff_queue()` function
+  that is flexible enough to record any of these kinds of changes.
+
+* Once you finish feeding the pairs of files, call `diffcore_std()`.
+  This will tell the diffcore library to go ahead and do its work.
+
+* Calling `diff_flush()` will produce the output.
+
+
+Data structures
+---------------
+
+* `struct diff_filespec`
+
+This is the internal representation for a single file (blob).  It
+records the blob object name (if known -- for a work tree file it
+typically is a NUL SHA-1), filemode and pathname.  This is what the
+`diff_addremove()`, `diff_change()` and `diff_unmerge()` synthesize and
+feed `diff_queue()` function with.
+
+* `struct diff_filepair`
+
+This records a pair of `struct diff_filespec`; the filespec for a file
+in the "old" set (i.e. preimage) is called `one`, and the filespec for a
+file in the "new" set (i.e. postimage) is called `two`.  A change that
+represents file creation has NULL in `one`, and file deletion has NULL
+in `two`.
+
+A `filepair` starts pointing at `one` and `two` that are from the same
+filename, but `diffcore_std()` can break pairs and match component
+filespecs with other filespecs from a different filepair to form new
+filepair.  This is called 'rename detection'.
+
+* `struct diff_queue`
+
+This is a collection of filepairs.  Notable members are:
+
+`queue`::
+
+	An array of pointers to `struct diff_filepair`.  This
+	dynamically grows as you add filepairs;
+
+`alloc`::
+
+	The allocated size of the `queue` array;
+
+`nr`::
+
+	The number of elements in the `queue` array.
+
+
+* `struct diff_options`
+
+This describes the set of options the calling program wants to affect
+the operation of diffcore library with.
+
+Notable members are:
+
+`output_format`::
+	The output format used when `diff_flush()` is run.
+
+`context`::
+	Number of context lines to generate in patch output.
+
+`break_opt`, `detect_rename`, `rename-score`, `rename_limit`::
+	Affects the way detection logic for complete rewrites, renames
+	and copies.
+
+`abbrev`::
+	Number of hexdigits to abbreviate raw format output to.
+
+`pickaxe`::
+	A constant string (can and typically does contain newlines to
+	look for a block of text, not just a single line) to filter out
+	the filepairs that do not change the number of strings contained
+	in its preimage and postimage of the diff_queue.
+
+`flags`::
+	This is mostly a collection of boolean options that affects the
+	operation, but some do not have anything to do with the diffcore
+	library.
+
+`touched_flags`::
+	Records whether a flag has been changed due to user request
+	(rather than just set/unset by default).
+
+`set_default`::
+	Callback which allows tweaking the options in diff_setup_done().
+
+BINARY, TEXT;;
+	Affects the way how a file that is seemingly binary is treated.
+
+FULL_INDEX;;
+	Tells the patch output format not to use abbreviated object
+	names on the "index" lines.
+
+FIND_COPIES_HARDER;;
+	Tells the diffcore library that the caller is feeding unchanged
+	filepairs to allow copies from unmodified files be detected.
+
+COLOR_DIFF;;
+	Output should be colored.
+
+COLOR_DIFF_WORDS;;
+	Output is a colored word-diff.
+
+NO_INDEX;;
+	Tells diff-files that the input is not tracked files but files
+	in random locations on the filesystem.
+
+ALLOW_EXTERNAL;;
+	Tells output routine that it is Ok to call user specified patch
+	output routine.  Plumbing disables this to ensure stable output.
+
+QUIET;;
+	Do not show any output.
+
+REVERSE_DIFF;;
+	Tells the library that the calling program is feeding the
+	filepairs reversed; `one` is two, and `two` is one.
+
+EXIT_WITH_STATUS;;
+	For communication between the calling program and the options
+	parser; tell the calling program to signal the presence of
+	difference using program exit code.
+
+HAS_CHANGES;;
+	Internal; used for optimization to see if there is any change.
+
+SILENT_ON_REMOVE;;
+	Affects if diff-files shows removed files.
+
+RECURSIVE, TREE_IN_RECURSIVE;;
+	Tells if tree traversal done by tree-diff should recursively
+	descend into a tree object pair that are different in preimage
+	and postimage set.

+directory listing API
+=====================
+
+The directory listing API is used to enumerate paths in the work tree,
+optionally taking `.git/info/exclude` and `.gitignore` files per
+directory into account.
+
+Data structure
+--------------
+
+`struct dir_struct` structure is used to pass directory traversal
+options to the library and to record the paths discovered.  A single
+`struct dir_struct` is used regardless of whether or not the traversal
+recursively descends into subdirectories.
+
+The notable options are:
+
+`exclude_per_dir`::
+
+	The name of the file to be read in each directory for excluded
+	files (typically `.gitignore`).
+
+`flags`::
+
+	A bit-field of options:
+
+`DIR_SHOW_IGNORED`:::
+
+	Return just ignored files in `entries[]`, not untracked
+	files. This flag is mutually exclusive with
+	`DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO`.
+
+`DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO`:::
+
+	Similar to `DIR_SHOW_IGNORED`, but return ignored files in
+	`ignored[]` in addition to untracked files in
+	`entries[]`. This flag is mutually exclusive with
+	`DIR_SHOW_IGNORED`.
+
+`DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS`:::
+
+	Only has meaning if `DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO` is also set; if this is set, the
+	untracked contents of untracked directories are also returned in
+	`entries[]`.
+
+`DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING`:::
+
+	Only has meaning if `DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO` is also set; if
+	this is set, returns ignored files and directories that match
+	an exclude pattern. If a directory matches an exclude pattern,
+	then the directory is returned and the contained paths are
+	not. A directory that does not match an exclude pattern will
+	not be returned even if all of its contents are ignored. In
+	this case, the contents are returned as individual entries.
++
+If this is set, files and directories that explicitly match an ignore
+pattern are reported. Implicitly ignored directories (directories that
+do not match an ignore pattern, but whose contents are all ignored)
+are not reported, instead all of the contents are reported.
+
+`DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED`:::
+
+	Special mode for git-add. Return ignored files in `ignored[]` and
+	untracked files in `entries[]`. Only returns ignored files that match
+	pathspec exactly (no wildcards). Does not recurse into ignored
+	directories.
+
+`DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES`:::
+
+	Include a directory that is not tracked.
+
+`DIR_HIDE_EMPTY_DIRECTORIES`:::
+
+	Do not include a directory that is not tracked and is empty.
+
+`DIR_NO_GITLINKS`:::
+
+	If set, recurse into a directory that looks like a Git
+	directory.  Otherwise it is shown as a directory.
+
+The result of the enumeration is left in these fields:
+
+`entries[]`::
+
+	An array of `struct dir_entry`, each element of which describes
+	a path.
+
+`nr`::
+
+	The number of members in `entries[]` array.
+
+`alloc`::
+
+	Internal use; keeps track of allocation of `entries[]` array.
+
+`ignored[]`::
+
+	An array of `struct dir_entry`, used for ignored paths with the
+	`DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO` and `DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED` flags.
+
+`ignored_nr`::
+
+	The number of members in `ignored[]` array.
+
+Calling sequence
+----------------
+
+Note: index may be looked at for .gitignore files that are CE_SKIP_WORKTREE
+marked. If you to exclude files, make sure you have loaded index first.
+
+* Prepare `struct dir_struct dir` and clear it with `memset(&dir, 0,
+  sizeof(dir))`.
+
+* To add single exclude pattern, call `add_exclude_list()` and then
+  `add_exclude()`.
+
+* To add patterns from a file (e.g. `.git/info/exclude`), call
+  `add_excludes_from_file()` , and/or set `dir.exclude_per_dir`.  A
+  short-hand function `setup_standard_excludes()` can be used to set
+  up the standard set of exclude settings.
+
+* Set options described in the Data Structure section above.
+
+* Call `read_directory()`.
+
+* Use `dir.entries[]`.
+
+* Call `clear_directory()` when none of the contained elements are no longer in use.

+gitattributes API
+=================
+
+gitattributes mechanism gives a uniform way to associate various
+attributes to set of paths.
+
+
+Data Structure
+--------------
+
+`struct git_attr`::
+
+	An attribute is an opaque object that is identified by its name.
+	Pass the name to `git_attr()` function to obtain the object of
+	this type.  The internal representation of this structure is
+	of no interest to the calling programs.  The name of the
+	attribute can be retrieved by calling `git_attr_name()`.
+
+`struct attr_check_item`::
+
+	This structure represents one attribute and its value.
+
+`struct attr_check`::
+
+	This structure represents a collection of `attr_check_item`.
+	It is passed to `git_check_attr()` function, specifying the
+	attributes to check, and receives their values.
+
+
+Attribute Values
+----------------
+
+An attribute for a path can be in one of four states: Set, Unset,
+Unspecified or set to a string, and `.value` member of `struct
+attr_check_item` records it.  There are three macros to check these:
+
+`ATTR_TRUE()`::
+
+	Returns true if the attribute is Set for the path.
+
+`ATTR_FALSE()`::
+
+	Returns true if the attribute is Unset for the path.
+
+`ATTR_UNSET()`::
+
+	Returns true if the attribute is Unspecified for the path.
+
+If none of the above returns true, `.value` member points at a string
+value of the attribute for the path.
+
+
+Querying Specific Attributes
+----------------------------
+
+* Prepare `struct attr_check` using attr_check_initl()
+  function, enumerating the names of attributes whose values you are
+  interested in, terminated with a NULL pointer.  Alternatively, an
+  empty `struct attr_check` can be prepared by calling
+  `attr_check_alloc()` function and then attributes you want to
+  ask about can be added to it with `attr_check_append()`
+  function.
+
+* Call `git_check_attr()` to check the attributes for the path.
+
+* Inspect `attr_check` structure to see how each of the
+  attribute in the array is defined for the path.
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+To see how attributes "crlf" and "ident" are set for different paths.
+
+. Prepare a `struct attr_check` with two elements (because
+  we are checking two attributes):
+
+------------
+static struct attr_check *check;
+static void setup_check(void)
+{
+	if (check)
+		return; /* already done */
+	check = attr_check_initl("crlf", "ident", NULL);
+}
+------------
+
+. Call `git_check_attr()` with the prepared `struct attr_check`:
+
+------------
+	const char *path;
+
+	setup_check();
+	git_check_attr(path, check);
+------------
+
+. Act on `.value` member of the result, left in `check->items[]`:
+
+------------
+	const char *value = check->items[0].value;
+
+	if (ATTR_TRUE(value)) {
+		The attribute is Set, by listing only the name of the
+		attribute in the gitattributes file for the path.
+	} else if (ATTR_FALSE(value)) {
+		The attribute is Unset, by listing the name of the
+		attribute prefixed with a dash - for the path.
+	} else if (ATTR_UNSET(value)) {
+		The attribute is neither set nor unset for the path.
+	} else if (!strcmp(value, "input")) {
+		If none of ATTR_TRUE(), ATTR_FALSE(), or ATTR_UNSET() is
+		true, the value is a string set in the gitattributes
+		file for the path by saying "attr=value".
+	} else if (... other check using value as string ...) {
+		...
+	}
+------------
+
+To see how attributes in argv[] are set for different paths, only
+the first step in the above would be different.
+
+------------
+static struct attr_check *check;
+static void setup_check(const char **argv)
+{
+	check = attr_check_alloc();
+	while (*argv) {
+		struct git_attr *attr = git_attr(*argv);
+		attr_check_append(check, attr);
+		argv++;
+	}
+}
+------------
+
+
+Querying All Attributes
+-----------------------
+
+To get the values of all attributes associated with a file:
+
+* Prepare an empty `attr_check` structure by calling
+  `attr_check_alloc()`.
+
+* Call `git_all_attrs()`, which populates the `attr_check`
+  with the attributes attached to the path.
+
+* Iterate over the `attr_check.items[]` array to examine
+  the attribute names and values.  The name of the attribute
+  described by an `attr_check.items[]` object can be retrieved via
+  `git_attr_name(check->items[i].attr)`.  (Please note that no items
+  will be returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return
+  false for all returned `attr_check.items[]` objects.)
+
+* Free the `attr_check` struct by calling `attr_check_free()`.

+history graph API
+=================
+
+The graph API is used to draw a text-based representation of the commit
+history.  The API generates the graph in a line-by-line fashion.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+Core functions:
+
+* `graph_init()` creates a new `struct git_graph`
+
+* `graph_update()` moves the graph to a new commit.
+
+* `graph_next_line()` outputs the next line of the graph into a strbuf.  It
+  does not add a terminating newline.
+
+* `graph_padding_line()` outputs a line of vertical padding in the graph.  It
+  is similar to `graph_next_line()`, but is guaranteed to never print the line
+  containing the current commit.  Where `graph_next_line()` would print the
+  commit line next, `graph_padding_line()` prints a line that simply extends
+  all branch lines downwards one row, leaving their positions unchanged.
+
+* `graph_is_commit_finished()` determines if the graph has output all lines
+  necessary for the current commit.  If `graph_update()` is called before all
+  lines for the current commit have been printed, the next call to
+  `graph_next_line()` will output an ellipsis, to indicate that a portion of
+  the graph was omitted.
+
+The following utility functions are wrappers around `graph_next_line()` and
+`graph_is_commit_finished()`.  They always print the output to stdout.
+They can all be called with a NULL graph argument, in which case no graph
+output will be printed.
+
+* `graph_show_commit()` calls `graph_next_line()` and
+  `graph_is_commit_finished()` until one of them return non-zero.  This prints
+  all graph lines up to, and including, the line containing this commit.
+  Output is printed to stdout.  The last line printed does not contain a
+  terminating newline.
+
+* `graph_show_oneline()` calls `graph_next_line()` and prints the result to
+  stdout.  The line printed does not contain a terminating newline.
+
+* `graph_show_padding()` calls `graph_padding_line()` and prints the result to
+  stdout.  The line printed does not contain a terminating newline.
+
+* `graph_show_remainder()` calls `graph_next_line()` until
+  `graph_is_commit_finished()` returns non-zero.  Output is printed to stdout.
+  The last line printed does not contain a terminating newline.  Returns 1 if
+  output was printed, and 0 if no output was necessary.
+
+* `graph_show_strbuf()` prints the specified strbuf to stdout, prefixing all
+  lines but the first with a graph line.  The caller is responsible for
+  ensuring graph output for the first line has already been printed to stdout.
+  (This can be done with `graph_show_commit()` or `graph_show_oneline()`.)  If
+  a NULL graph is supplied, the strbuf is printed as-is.
+
+* `graph_show_commit_msg()` is similar to `graph_show_strbuf()`, but it also
+  prints the remainder of the graph, if more lines are needed after the strbuf
+  ends.  It is better than directly calling `graph_show_strbuf()` followed by
+  `graph_show_remainder()` since it properly handles buffers that do not end in
+  a terminating newline.  The output printed by `graph_show_commit_msg()` will
+  end in a newline if and only if the strbuf ends in a newline.
+
+Data structure
+--------------
+`struct git_graph` is an opaque data type used to store the current graph
+state.
+
+Calling sequence
+----------------
+
+* Create a `struct git_graph` by calling `graph_init()`.  When using the
+  revision walking API, this is done automatically by `setup_revisions()` if
+  the '--graph' option is supplied.
+
+* Use the revision walking API to walk through a group of contiguous commits.
+  The `get_revision()` function automatically calls `graph_update()` each time
+  it is invoked.
+
+* For each commit, call `graph_next_line()` repeatedly, until
+  `graph_is_commit_finished()` returns non-zero.  Each call to
+  `graph_next_line()` will output a single line of the graph.  The resulting
+  lines will not contain any newlines.  `graph_next_line()` returns 1 if the
+  resulting line contains the current commit, or 0 if this is merely a line
+  needed to adjust the graph before or after the current commit.  This return
+  value can be used to determine where to print the commit summary information
+  alongside the graph output.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* `graph_update()` must be called with commits in topological order.  It should
+  not be called on a commit if it has already been invoked with an ancestor of
+  that commit, or the graph output will be incorrect.
+
+* `graph_update()` must be called on a contiguous group of commits.  If
+  `graph_update()` is called on a particular commit, it should later be called
+  on all parents of that commit.  Parents must not be skipped, or the graph
+  output will appear incorrect.
++
+`graph_update()` may be used on a pruned set of commits only if the parent list
+has been rewritten so as to include only ancestors from the pruned set.
+
+* The graph API does not currently support reverse commit ordering.  In
+  order to implement reverse ordering, the graphing API needs an
+  (efficient) mechanism to find the children of a commit.
+
+Sample usage
+------------
+
+------------
+struct commit *commit;
+struct git_graph *graph = graph_init(opts);
+
+while ((commit = get_revision(opts)) != NULL) {
+	while (!graph_is_commit_finished(graph))
+	{
+		struct strbuf sb;
+		int is_commit_line;
+
+		strbuf_init(&sb, 0);
+		is_commit_line = graph_next_line(graph, &sb);
+		fputs(sb.buf, stdout);
+
+		if (is_commit_line)
+			log_tree_commit(opts, commit);
+		else
+			putchar(opts->diffopt.line_termination);
+	}
+}
+------------
+
+Sample output
+-------------
+
+The following is an example of the output from the graph API.  This output does
+not include any commit summary information--callers are responsible for
+outputting that information, if desired.

+	If a helper program is specified by the
+	`[merge "<driver>"] recursive` configuration, it will
+	be used (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
+
+`variant`::
+	Resolve local conflicts automatically in favor
+	of one side or the other (as in 'git merge-file'
+	`--ours`/`--theirs`/`--union`).  Can be `0`,
+	`XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_OURS`, `XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_THEIRS`, or
+	`XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_UNION`.
+
+`renormalize`::
+	Resmudge and clean the "base", "theirs" and "ours" files
+	before merging.  Use this when the merge is likely to have
+	overlapped with a change in smudge/clean or end-of-line
+	normalization rules.
 
 Low-level (single file) merge
 -----------------------------
 
-Check ll-merge.h for details.
+`ll_merge`::
+
+	Perform a three-way single-file merge in core.  This is
+	a thin wrapper around `xdl_merge` that takes the path and
+	any merge backend specified in `.gitattributes` or
+	`.git/info/attributes` into account.  Returns 0 for a
+	clean merge.
+
+Calling sequence:
+
+* Prepare a `struct ll_merge_options` to record options.
+  If you have no special requests, skip this and pass `NULL`
+  as the `opts` parameter to use the default options.
+
+* Allocate an mmbuffer_t variable for the result.
+
+* Allocate and fill variables with the file's original content
+  and two modified versions (using `read_mmfile`, for example).
+
+* Call `ll_merge()`.
+
+* Read the merged content from `result_buf.ptr` and `result_buf.size`.
+
+* Release buffers when finished.  A simple
+  `free(ancestor.ptr); free(ours.ptr); free(theirs.ptr);
+  free(result_buf.ptr);` will do.
+
+If the modifications do not merge cleanly, `ll_merge` will return a
+nonzero value and `result_buf` will generally include a description of
+the conflict bracketed by markers such as the traditional `<<<<<<<`
+and `>>>>>>>`.
+
+The `ancestor_label`, `our_label`, and `their_label` parameters are
+used to label the different sides of a conflict if the merge driver
+supports this.
+
+Everything else
+---------------
+
+Talk about <merge-recursive.h> and merge_file():
+
+ - merge_trees() to merge with rename detection
+ - merge_recursive() for ancestor consolidation
+ - try_merge_command() for other strategies
+ - conflict format
+ - merge options

+oid-array API
+==============
+
+The oid-array API provides storage and manipulation of sets of object
+identifiers. The emphasis is on storage and processing efficiency,
+making them suitable for large lists. Note that the ordering of items is
+not preserved over some operations.
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct oid_array`::
+
+	A single array of object IDs. This should be initialized by
+	assignment from `OID_ARRAY_INIT`.  The `oid` member contains
+	the actual data. The `nr` member contains the number of items in
+	the set.  The `alloc` and `sorted` members are used internally,
+	and should not be needed by API callers.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`oid_array_append`::
+	Add an item to the set. The object ID will be placed at the end of
+	the array (but note that some operations below may lose this
+	ordering).
+
+`oid_array_lookup`::
+	Perform a binary search of the array for a specific object ID.
+	If found, returns the offset (in number of elements) of the
+	object ID. If not found, returns a negative integer. If the array
+	is not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it.
+
+`oid_array_clear`::
+	Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
+	initial, empty state.
+
+`oid_array_for_each`::
+	Iterate over each element of the list, executing the callback
+	function for each one. Does not sort the list, so any custom
+	hash order is retained. If the callback returns a non-zero
+	value, the iteration ends immediately and the callback's
+	return is propagated; otherwise, 0 is returned.
+
+`oid_array_for_each_unique`::
+	Iterate over each unique element of the list in sorted order,
+	but otherwise behave like `oid_array_for_each`. If the array
+	is not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting
+	it.
+
+`oid_array_filter`::
+	Apply the callback function `want` to each entry in the array,
+	retaining only the entries for which the function returns true.
+	Preserve the order of the entries that are retained.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+-----------------------------------------
+int print_callback(const struct object_id *oid,
+		    void *data)
+{
+	printf("%s\n", oid_to_hex(oid));
+	return 0; /* always continue */
+}
+
+void some_func(void)
+{
+	struct sha1_array hashes = OID_ARRAY_INIT;
+	struct object_id oid;
+
+	/* Read objects into our set */
+	while (read_object_from_stdin(oid.hash))
+		oid_array_append(&hashes, &oid);
+
+	/* Check if some objects are in our set */
+	while (read_object_from_stdin(oid.hash)) {
+		if (oid_array_lookup(&hashes, &oid) >= 0)
+			printf("it's in there!\n");
+
+	/*
+	 * Print the unique set of objects. We could also have
+	 * avoided adding duplicate objects in the first place,
+	 * but we would end up re-sorting the array repeatedly.
+	 * Instead, this will sort once and then skip duplicates
+	 * in linear time.
+	 */
+	oid_array_for_each_unique(&hashes, print_callback, NULL);

+ref iteration API
+=================
+
+
+Iteration of refs is done by using an iterate function which will call a
+callback function for every ref. The callback function has this
+signature:
+
+	int handle_one_ref(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid,
+			   int flags, void *cb_data);
+
+There are different kinds of iterate functions which all take a
+callback of this type. The callback is then called for each found ref
+until the callback returns nonzero. The returned value is then also
+returned by the iterate function.
+
+Iteration functions
+-------------------
+
+* `head_ref()` just iterates the head ref.
+
+* `for_each_ref()` iterates all refs.
+
+* `for_each_ref_in()` iterates all refs which have a defined prefix and
+  strips that prefix from the passed variable refname.
+
+* `for_each_tag_ref()`, `for_each_branch_ref()`, `for_each_remote_ref()`,
+  `for_each_replace_ref()` iterate refs from the respective area.
+
+* `for_each_glob_ref()` iterates all refs that match the specified glob
+  pattern.
+
+* `for_each_glob_ref_in()` the previous and `for_each_ref_in()` combined.
+
+* Use `refs_` API for accessing submodules. The submodule ref store could
+  be obtained with `get_submodule_ref_store()`.
+
+* `for_each_rawref()` can be used to learn about broken ref and symref.
+
+* `for_each_reflog()` iterates each reflog file.
+
+Submodules
+----------
+
+If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the
+submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like
+this:
+
+	const char *path = "path/to/submodule"
+	if (add_submodule_odb(path))
+		die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
+
+`add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
+do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
+to a valid object.
+
+Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
+objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
+will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
+
+Example:
+--------
+
+----
+static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
+		const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
+{
+	struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
+	strbuf_addf(output, "%s\n", refname);
+	return 0;
+}
+
+...
+
+	struct strbuf output = STRBUF_INIT;
+	for_each_remote_ref(handle_remote_ref, &output);
+	printf("%s", output.buf);

+Remotes configuration API
+=========================
+
+The API in remote.h gives access to the configuration related to
+remotes. It handles all three configuration mechanisms historically
+and currently used by Git, and presents the information in a uniform
+fashion. Note that the code also handles plain URLs without any
+configuration, giving them just the default information.
+
+struct remote
+-------------
+
+`name`::
+
+	The user's nickname for the remote
+
+`url`::
+
+	An array of all of the url_nr URLs configured for the remote
+
+`pushurl`::
+
+	An array of all of the pushurl_nr push URLs configured for the remote
+
+`push`::
+
+	 An array of refspecs configured for pushing, with
+	 push_refspec being the literal strings, and push_refspec_nr
+	 being the quantity.
+
+`fetch`::
+
+	An array of refspecs configured for fetching, with
+	fetch_refspec being the literal strings, and fetch_refspec_nr
+	being the quantity.
+
+`fetch_tags`::
+
+	The setting for whether to fetch tags (as a separate rule from
+	the configured refspecs); -1 means never to fetch tags, 0
+	means to auto-follow tags based on the default heuristic, 1
+	means to always auto-follow tags, and 2 means to fetch all
+	tags.
+
+`receivepack`, `uploadpack`::
+
+	The configured helper programs to run on the remote side, for
+	Git-native protocols.
+
+`http_proxy`::
+
+	The proxy to use for curl (http, https, ftp, etc.) URLs.
+
+`http_proxy_authmethod`::
+
+	The method used for authenticating against `http_proxy`.
+
+struct remotes can be found by name with remote_get(), and iterated
+through with for_each_remote(). remote_get(NULL) will return the
+default remote, given the current branch and configuration.
+
+struct refspec
+--------------
+
+A struct refspec holds the parsed interpretation of a refspec.  If it
+will force updates (starts with a '+'), force is true.  If it is a
+pattern (sides end with '*') pattern is true.  src and dest are the
+two sides (including '*' characters if present); if there is only one
+side, it is src, and dst is NULL; if sides exist but are empty (i.e.,
+the refspec either starts or ends with ':'), the corresponding side is
+"".
+
+An array of strings can be parsed into an array of struct refspecs
+using parse_fetch_refspec() or parse_push_refspec().
+
+remote_find_tracking(), given a remote and a struct refspec with
+either src or dst filled out, will fill out the other such that the
+result is in the "fetch" specification for the remote (note that this
+evaluates patterns and returns a single result).
+
+struct branch
+-------------
+
+Note that this may end up moving to branch.h
+
+struct branch holds the configuration for a branch. It can be looked
+up with branch_get(name) for "refs/heads/{name}", or with
+branch_get(NULL) for HEAD.
+
+It contains:
+
+`name`::
+
+	The short name of the branch.
+
+`refname`::
+
+	The full path for the branch ref.
+
+`remote_name`::
+
+	The name of the remote listed in the configuration.
+
+`merge_name`::
+
+	An array of the "merge" lines in the configuration.
+
+`merge`::
+
+	An array of the struct refspecs used for the merge lines. That
+	is, merge[i]->dst is a local tracking ref which should be
+	merged into this branch by default.
+
+`merge_nr`::
+
+	The number of merge configurations
+
+branch_has_merge_config() returns true if the given branch has merge
+configuration given.
+
+Other stuff
+-----------
+
+There is other stuff in remote.h that is related, in general, to the
+process of interacting with remotes.

+revision walking API
+====================
+
+The revision walking API offers functions to build a list of revisions
+and then iterate over that list.
+
+Calling sequence
+----------------
+
+The walking API has a given calling sequence: first you need to
+initialize a rev_info structure, then add revisions to control what kind
+of revision list do you want to get, finally you can iterate over the
+revision list.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`repo_init_revisions`::
+
+	Initialize a rev_info structure with default values. The third
+	parameter may be NULL or can be prefix path, and then the `.prefix`
+	variable will be set to it. This is typically the first function you
+	want to call when you want to deal with a revision list. After calling
+	this function, you are free to customize options, like set
+	`.ignore_merges` to 0 if you don't want to ignore merges, and so on. See
+	`revision.h` for a complete list of available options.
+
+`add_pending_object`::
+
+	This function can be used if you want to add commit objects as revision
+	information. You can use the `UNINTERESTING` object flag to indicate if
+	you want to include or exclude the given commit (and commits reachable
+	from the given commit) from the revision list.
++
+NOTE: If you have the commits as a string list then you probably want to
+use setup_revisions(), instead of parsing each string and using this
+function.
+
+`setup_revisions`::
+
+	Parse revision information, filling in the `rev_info` structure, and
+	removing the used arguments from the argument list. Returns the number
+	of arguments left that weren't recognized, which are also moved to the
+	head of the argument list. The last parameter is used in case no
+	parameter given by the first two arguments.
+
+`prepare_revision_walk`::
+
+	Prepares the rev_info structure for a walk. You should check if it
+	returns any error (non-zero return code) and if it does not, you can
+	start using get_revision() to do the iteration.
+
+`get_revision`::
+
+	Takes a pointer to a `rev_info` structure and iterates over it,
+	returning a `struct commit *` each time you call it. The end of the
+	revision list is indicated by returning a NULL pointer.
+
+`reset_revision_walk`::
+
+	Reset the flags used by the revision walking api. You can use
+	this to do multiple sequential revision walks.
+
+Data structures
+---------------
+
+Talk about <revision.h>, things like:
+
+* two diff_options, one for path limiting, another for output;
+* remaining functions;

+run-command API
+===============
+
+The run-command API offers a versatile tool to run sub-processes with
+redirected input and output as well as with a modified environment
+and an alternate current directory.
+
+A similar API offers the capability to run a function asynchronously,
+which is primarily used to capture the output that the function
+produces in the caller in order to process it.
+
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`child_process_init`::
+
+	Initialize a struct child_process variable.
+
+`start_command`::
+
+	Start a sub-process. Takes a pointer to a `struct child_process`
+	that specifies the details and returns pipe FDs (if requested).
+	See below for details.
+
+`finish_command`::
+
+	Wait for the completion of a sub-process that was started with
+	start_command().
+
+`run_command`::
+
+	A convenience function that encapsulates a sequence of
+	start_command() followed by finish_command(). Takes a pointer
+	to a `struct child_process` that specifies the details.
+
+`run_command_v_opt`, `run_command_v_opt_cd_env`::
+
+	Convenience functions that encapsulate a sequence of
+	start_command() followed by finish_command(). The argument argv
+	specifies the program and its arguments. The argument opt is zero
+	or more of the flags `RUN_COMMAND_NO_STDIN`, `RUN_GIT_CMD`,
+	`RUN_COMMAND_STDOUT_TO_STDERR`, or `RUN_SILENT_EXEC_FAILURE`
+	that correspond to the members .no_stdin, .git_cmd,
+	.stdout_to_stderr, .silent_exec_failure of `struct child_process`.
+	The argument dir corresponds the member .dir. The argument env
+	corresponds to the member .env.
+
+`child_process_clear`::
+
+	Release the memory associated with the struct child_process.
+	Most users of the run-command API don't need to call this
+	function explicitly because `start_command` invokes it on
+	failure and `finish_command` calls it automatically already.
+
+The functions above do the following:
+
+. If a system call failed, errno is set and -1 is returned. A diagnostic
+  is printed.
+
+. If the program was not found, then -1 is returned and errno is set to
+  ENOENT; a diagnostic is printed only if .silent_exec_failure is 0.
+
+. Otherwise, the program is run. If it terminates regularly, its exit
+  code is returned. No diagnostic is printed, even if the exit code is
+  non-zero.
+
+. If the program terminated due to a signal, then the return value is the
+  signal number + 128, ie. the same value that a POSIX shell's $? would
+  report.  A diagnostic is printed.
+
+
+`start_async`::
+
+	Run a function asynchronously. Takes a pointer to a `struct
+	async` that specifies the details and returns a set of pipe FDs
+	for communication with the function. See below for details.
+
+`finish_async`::
+
+	Wait for the completion of an asynchronous function that was
+	started with start_async().
+
+`run_hook`::
+
+	Run a hook.
+	The first argument is a pathname to an index file, or NULL
+	if the hook uses the default index file or no index is needed.
+	The second argument is the name of the hook.
+	The further arguments correspond to the hook arguments.
+	The last argument has to be NULL to terminate the arguments list.
+	If the hook does not exist or is not executable, the return
+	value will be zero.
+	If it is executable, the hook will be executed and the exit
+	status of the hook is returned.
+	On execution, .stdout_to_stderr and .no_stdin will be set.
+	(See below.)
+
+
+Data structures
+---------------
+
+* `struct child_process`
+
+This describes the arguments, redirections, and environment of a
+command to run in a sub-process.
+
+The caller:
+
+1. allocates and clears (using child_process_init() or
+   CHILD_PROCESS_INIT) a struct child_process variable;
+2. initializes the members;
+3. calls start_command();
+4. processes the data;
+5. closes file descriptors (if necessary; see below);
+6. calls finish_command().
+
+The .argv member is set up as an array of string pointers (NULL
+terminated), of which .argv[0] is the program name to run (usually
+without a path). If the command to run is a git command, set argv[0] to
+the command name without the 'git-' prefix and set .git_cmd = 1.
+
+Note that the ownership of the memory pointed to by .argv stays with the
+caller, but it should survive until `finish_command` completes. If the
+.argv member is NULL, `start_command` will point it at the .args
+`argv_array` (so you may use one or the other, but you must use exactly
+one). The memory in .args will be cleaned up automatically during
+`finish_command` (or during `start_command` when it is unsuccessful).
+
+The members .in, .out, .err are used to redirect stdin, stdout,
+stderr as follows:
+
+. Specify 0 to request no special redirection. No new file descriptor
+  is allocated. The child process simply inherits the channel from the
+  parent.
+
+. Specify -1 to have a pipe allocated; start_command() replaces -1
+  by the pipe FD in the following way:
+
+	.in: Returns the writable pipe end into which the caller writes;
+		the readable end of the pipe becomes the child's stdin.
+
+	.out, .err: Returns the readable pipe end from which the caller
+		reads; the writable end of the pipe end becomes child's
+		stdout/stderr.
+
+  The caller of start_command() must close the so returned FDs
+  after it has completed reading from/writing to it!
+
+. Specify a file descriptor > 0 to be used by the child:
+
+	.in: The FD must be readable; it becomes child's stdin.
+	.out: The FD must be writable; it becomes child's stdout.
+	.err: The FD must be writable; it becomes child's stderr.
+
+  The specified FD is closed by start_command(), even if it fails to
+  run the sub-process!
+
+. Special forms of redirection are available by setting these members
+  to 1:
+
+	.no_stdin, .no_stdout, .no_stderr: The respective channel is
+		redirected to /dev/null.
+
+	.stdout_to_stderr: stdout of the child is redirected to its
+		stderr. This happens after stderr is itself redirected.
+		So stdout will follow stderr to wherever it is
+		redirected.
+
+To modify the environment of the sub-process, specify an array of
+string pointers (NULL terminated) in .env:
+
+. If the string is of the form "VAR=value", i.e. it contains '='
+  the variable is added to the child process's environment.
+
+. If the string does not contain '=', it names an environment
+  variable that will be removed from the child process's environment.
+
+If the .env member is NULL, `start_command` will point it at the
+.env_array `argv_array` (so you may use one or the other, but not both).
+The memory in .env_array will be cleaned up automatically during
+`finish_command` (or during `start_command` when it is unsuccessful).
+
+To specify a new initial working directory for the sub-process,
+specify it in the .dir member.
+
+If the program cannot be found, the functions return -1 and set
+errno to ENOENT. Normally, an error message is printed, but if
+.silent_exec_failure is set to 1, no message is printed for this
+special error condition.
+
+
+* `struct async`
+
+This describes a function to run asynchronously, whose purpose is
+to produce output that the caller reads.
+
+The caller:
+
+1. allocates and clears (memset(&asy, 0, sizeof(asy));) a
+   struct async variable;
+2. initializes .proc and .data;
+3. calls start_async();
+4. processes communicates with proc through .in and .out;
+5. closes .in and .out;
+6. calls finish_async().
+
+The members .in, .out are used to provide a set of fd's for
+communication between the caller and the callee as follows:
+
+. Specify 0 to have no file descriptor passed.  The callee will
+  receive -1 in the corresponding argument.
+
+. Specify < 0 to have a pipe allocated; start_async() replaces
+  with the pipe FD in the following way:
+
+	.in: Returns the writable pipe end into which the caller
+	writes; the readable end of the pipe becomes the function's
+	in argument.
+
+	.out: Returns the readable pipe end from which the caller
+	reads; the writable end of the pipe becomes the function's
+	out argument.

+Pathspec
+--------
+
+See glossary-context.txt for the syntax of pathspec. In memory, a
+pathspec set is represented by "struct pathspec" and is prepared by
+parse_pathspec(). This function takes several arguments:
+
+- magic_mask specifies what features that are NOT supported by the
+  following code. If a user attempts to use such a feature,
+  parse_pathspec() can reject it early.
+
+- flags specifies other things that the caller wants parse_pathspec to
+  perform.
+
+- prefix and args come from cmd_* functions
+
+parse_pathspec() helps catch unsupported features and reject them
+politely. At a lower level, different pathspec-related functions may
+not support the same set of features. Such pathspec-sensitive
+functions are guarded with GUARD_PATHSPEC(), which will die in an
+unfriendly way when an unsupported feature is requested.
+
+The command designers are supposed to make sure that GUARD_PATHSPEC()
+never dies. They have to make sure all unsupported features are caught
+by parse_pathspec(), not by GUARD_PATHSPEC. grepping GUARD_PATHSPEC()
+should give the designers all pathspec-sensitive codepaths and what
+features they support.
+
+A similar process is applied when a new pathspec magic is added. The
+designer lifts the GUARD_PATHSPEC restriction in the functions that
+support the new magic. At the same time (s)he has to make sure this
+new feature will be caught at parse_pathspec() in commands that cannot
+handle the new magic in some cases. grepping parse_pathspec() should
+help.

+sigchain API
+============
+
+Code often wants to set a signal handler to clean up temporary files or
+other work-in-progress when we die unexpectedly. For multiple pieces of
+code to do this without conflicting, each piece of code must remember
+the old value of the handler and restore it either when:
+
+  1. The work-in-progress is finished, and the handler is no longer
+     necessary. The handler should revert to the original behavior
+     (either another handler, SIG_DFL, or SIG_IGN).
+
+  2. The signal is received. We should then do our cleanup, then chain
+     to the next handler (or die if it is SIG_DFL).
+
+Sigchain is a tiny library for keeping a stack of handlers. Your handler
+and installation code should look something like:
+
+------------------------------------------
+  void clean_foo_on_signal(int sig)
+  {
+	  clean_foo();
+	  sigchain_pop(sig);
+	  raise(sig);
+  }
+
+  void other_func()
+  {
+	  sigchain_push_common(clean_foo_on_signal);
+	  mess_up_foo();
+	  clean_foo();
+  }
+------------------------------------------
+
+Handlers are given the typedef of sigchain_fun. This is the same type
+that is given to signal() or sigaction(). It is perfectly reasonable to
+push SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN onto the stack.
+
+You can sigchain_push and sigchain_pop individual signals. For
+convenience, sigchain_push_common will push the handler onto the stack
+for many common signals.

+submodule config cache API
+==========================
+
+The submodule config cache API allows to read submodule
+configurations/information from specified revisions. Internally
+information is lazily read into a cache that is used to avoid
+unnecessary parsing of the same .gitmodules files. Lookups can be done by
+submodule path or name.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To initialize the cache with configurations from the worktree the caller
+typically first calls `gitmodules_config()` to read values from the
+worktree .gitmodules and then to overlay the local git config values
+`parse_submodule_config_option()` from the config parsing
+infrastructure.
+
+The caller can look up information about submodules by using the
+`submodule_from_path()` or `submodule_from_name()` functions. They return
+a `struct submodule` which contains the values. The API automatically
+initializes and allocates the needed infrastructure on-demand. If the
+caller does only want to lookup values from revisions the initialization
+can be skipped.
+
+If the internal cache might grow too big or when the caller is done with
+the API, all internally cached values can be freed with submodule_free().
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct submodule`::
+
+	This structure is used to return the information about one
+	submodule for a certain revision. It is returned by the lookup
+	functions.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`void submodule_free(struct repository *r)`::
+
+	Use these to free the internally cached values.
+
+`int parse_submodule_config_option(const char *var, const char *value)`::
+
+	Can be passed to the config parsing infrastructure to parse
+	local (worktree) submodule configurations.
+
+`const struct submodule *submodule_from_path(const unsigned char *treeish_name, const char *path)`::
+
+	Given a tree-ish in the superproject and a path, return the
+	submodule that is bound at the path in the named tree.
+
+`const struct submodule *submodule_from_name(const unsigned char *treeish_name, const char *name)`::
+
+	The same as above but lookup by name.
+
+Whenever a submodule configuration is parsed in `parse_submodule_config_option`
+via e.g. `gitmodules_config()`, it will overwrite the null_sha1 entry.
+So in the normal case, when HEAD:.gitmodules is parsed first and then overlayed
+with the repository configuration, the null_sha1 entry contains the local
+configuration of a submodule (e.g. consolidated values from local git
+configuration and the .gitmodules file in the worktree).
+
+For an example usage see test-submodule-config.c.

+trace API
+=========
+
+The trace API can be used to print debug messages to stderr or a file. Trace
+code is inactive unless explicitly enabled by setting `GIT_TRACE*` environment
+variables.
+
+The trace implementation automatically adds `timestamp file:line ... \n` to
+all trace messages. E.g.:
+
+------------
+23:59:59.123456 git.c:312               trace: built-in: git 'foo'
+00:00:00.000001 builtin/foo.c:99        foo: some message
+------------
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct trace_key`::
+
+	Defines a trace key (or category). The default (for API functions that
+	don't take a key) is `GIT_TRACE`.
++
+E.g. to define a trace key controlled by environment variable `GIT_TRACE_FOO`:
++
+------------
+static struct trace_key trace_foo = TRACE_KEY_INIT(FOO);
+
+static void trace_print_foo(const char *message)
+{
+	trace_printf_key(&trace_foo, "%s", message);
+}
+------------
++
+Note: don't use `const` as the trace implementation stores internal state in
+the `trace_key` structure.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+`int trace_want(struct trace_key *key)`::
+
+	Checks whether the trace key is enabled. Used to prevent expensive
+	string formatting before calling one of the printing APIs.
+
+`void trace_disable(struct trace_key *key)`::
+
+	Disables tracing for the specified key, even if the environment
+	variable was set.
+
+`void trace_printf(const char *format, ...)`::
+`void trace_printf_key(struct trace_key *key, const char *format, ...)`::
+
+	Prints a formatted message, similar to printf.
+
+`void trace_argv_printf(const char **argv, const char *format, ...)``::
+
+	Prints a formatted message, followed by a quoted list of arguments.
+
+`void trace_strbuf(struct trace_key *key, const struct strbuf *data)`::
+
+	Prints the strbuf, without additional formatting (i.e. doesn't
+	choke on `%` or even `\0`).
+
+`uint64_t getnanotime(void)`::
+
+	Returns nanoseconds since the epoch (01/01/1970), typically used
+	for performance measurements.
++
+Currently there are high precision timer implementations for Linux (using
+`clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)`) and Windows (`QueryPerformanceCounter`).
+Other platforms use `gettimeofday` as time source.
+
+`void trace_performance(uint64_t nanos, const char *format, ...)`::
+`void trace_performance_since(uint64_t start, const char *format, ...)`::
+
+	Prints the elapsed time (in nanoseconds), or elapsed time since
+	`start`, followed by a formatted message. Enabled via environment
+	variable `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE`. Used for manual profiling, e.g.:
++
+------------
+uint64_t start = getnanotime();
+/* code section to measure */
+trace_performance_since(start, "foobar");
+------------
++
+------------
+uint64_t t = 0;
+for (;;) {
+	/* ignore */
+	t -= getnanotime();
+	/* code section to measure */
+	t += getnanotime();
+	/* ignore */
+}
+trace_performance(t, "frotz");
+------------
+
+Bugs & Caveats
+--------------
+
+GIT_TRACE_* environment variables can be used to tell Git to show
+trace output to its standard error stream. Git can often spawn a pager
+internally to run its subcommand and send its standard output and
+standard error to it.
+
+Because GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE trace is generated only at the very end
+of the program with atexit(), which happens after the pager exits, it
+would not work well if you send its log to the standard error output
+and let Git spawn the pager at the same time.
+
+As a work around, you can for example use '--no-pager', or set
+GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE to another file descriptor which is redirected
+to stderr, or set GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE to a file specified by its
+absolute path.
+
+For example instead of the following command which by default may not
+print any performance information:
+
+------------
+GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 git log -1
+------------
+
+you may want to use:
+
+------------
+GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 git --no-pager log -1
+------------
+
+or:
+
+------------
+GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=3 3>&2 git log -1
+------------
+
+or:
+
+------------
+GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=/path/to/log/file git log -1

 These are concerned with the lifetime of the overall git process.
-e.g: `void trace2_initialize_clock()`, `void trace2_initialize()`,
-`int trace2_is_enabled()`, `void trace2_cmd_start(int argc, const char **argv)`.
+
+`void trace2_initialize_clock()`::
+
+	Initialize the Trace2 start clock and nothing else.  This should
+	be called at the very top of main() to capture the process start
+	time and reduce startup order dependencies.
+
+`void trace2_initialize()`::
+
+	Determines if any Trace2 Targets should be enabled and
+	initializes the Trace2 facility.  This includes setting up the
+	Trace2 thread local storage (TLS).
++

+	Emits a "start" message containing the process command line
+	arguments.
+
+`int trace2_cmd_exit(int exit_code)`::
+
+	Emits an "exit" message containing the process exit-code and

+
+`void trace2_cmd_path(const char *pathname)`::
+
+	Emits a "cmd_path" message with the full pathname of the
+	current process.
 
 === Command Detail Messages
 
 These are concerned with describing the specific Git command
 after the command line, config, and environment are inspected.
-e.g: `void trace2_cmd_name(const char *name)`,
-`void trace2_cmd_mode(const char *mode)`.
+
+`void trace2_cmd_name(const char *name)`::
+
+	Emits a "cmd_name" message with the canonical name of the
+	command, for example "status" or "checkout".
+
+`void trace2_cmd_mode(const char *mode)`::
+
+	Emits a "cmd_mode" message with a qualifier name to further
+	describe the current git command.
++
+This message is intended to be used with git commands having multiple
+major modes.  For example, a "checkout" command can checkout a new
+branch or it can checkout a single file, so the checkout code could
+emit a cmd_mode message of "branch" or "file".
+
+`void trace2_cmd_alias(const char *alias, const char **argv_expansion)`::
+
+	Emits an "alias" message containing the alias used and the
+	argument expansion.
+
+`void trace2_def_param(const char *parameter, const char *value)`::
+
+	Emits a "def_param" message containing a key/value pair.
++
+This message is intended to report some global aspect of the current
+command, such as a configuration setting or command line switch that
+significantly affects program performance or behavior, such as
+`core.abbrev`, `status.showUntrackedFiles`, or `--no-ahead-behind`.
+
+`void trace2_cmd_list_config()`::
+
+	Emits a "def_param" messages for "important" configuration
+	settings.
++
+The environment variable `GIT_TRACE2_CONFIG_PARAMS` or the `trace2.configParams`
+config value can be set to a
+list of patterns of important configuration settings, for example:
+`core.*,remote.*.url`.  This function will iterate over all config
+settings and emit a "def_param" message for each match.
+
+`void trace2_cmd_set_config(const char *key, const char *value)`::
+
+	Emits a "def_param" message for a new or updated key/value
+	pair IF `key` is considered important.
++
+This is used to hook into `git_config_set()` and catch any
+configuration changes and update a value previously reported by
+`trace2_cmd_list_config()`.
+
+`void trace2_def_repo(struct repository *repo)`::
+
+	Registers a repository with the Trace2 layer.  Assigns a
+	unique "repo-id" to `repo->trace2_repo_id`.
++
+Emits a "worktree" messages containing the repo-id and the worktree
+pathname.
++
+Region and data messages (described later) may refer to this repo-id.
++
+The main/top-level repository will have repo-id value 1 (aka "r1").
++
+The repo-id field is in anticipation of future in-proc submodule
+repositories.
 
 === Child Process Messages
 
 These are concerned with the various spawned child processes,
 including shell scripts, git commands, editors, pagers, and hooks.
 
-e.g: `void trace2_child_start(struct child_process *cmd)`.
+`void trace2_child_start(struct child_process *cmd)`::
+
+	Emits a "child_start" message containing the "child-id",
+	"child-argv", and "child-classification".
++
+Before calling this, set `cmd->trace2_child_class` to a name
+describing the type of child process, for example "editor".
++
+This function assigns a unique "child-id" to `cmd->trace2_child_id`.
+This field is used later during the "child_exit" message to associate
+it with the "child_start" message.
++
+This function should be called before spawning the child process.
+
+`void trace2_child_exit(struct child_proess *cmd, int child_exit_code)`::
+
+	Emits a "child_exit" message containing the "child-id",
+	the child's elapsed time and exit-code.
++
+The reported elapsed time includes the process creation overhead and
+time spend waiting for it to exit, so it may be slightly longer than
+the time reported by the child itself.
++
+This function should be called after reaping the child process.
+
+`int trace2_exec(const char *exe, const char **argv)`::
+
+	Emits a "exec" message containing the "exec-id" and the
+	argv of the new process.
++
+This function should be called before calling one of the `exec()`
+variants, such as `execvp()`.
++
+This function returns a unique "exec-id".  This value is used later
+if the exec() fails and a "exec-result" message is necessary.
+
+`void trace2_exec_result(int exec_id, int error_code)`::
+
+	Emits a "exec_result" message containing the "exec-id"
+	and the error code.
++
+On Unix-based systems, `exec()` does not return if successful.
+This message is used to indicate that the `exec()` failed and
+that the current program is continuing.
 
 === Git Thread Messages
 
 These messages are concerned with Git thread usage.
 
-e.g: `void trace2_thread_start(const char *thread_name)`.
+`void trace2_thread_start(const char *thread_name)`::
+
+	Emits a "thread_start" message.
++
+The `thread_name` field should be a descriptive name, such as the
+unique name of the thread-proc.  A unique "thread-id" will be added
+to the name to uniquely identify thread instances.
++
+Region and data messages (described later) may refer to this thread
+name.
++
+This function must be called by the thread-proc of the new thread
+(so that TLS data is properly initialized) and not by the caller
+of `pthread_create()`.
+
+`void trace2_thread_exit()`::
+
+	Emits a "thread_exit" message containing the thread name
+	and the thread elapsed time.
++
+This function must be called by the thread-proc before it returns
+(so that the coorect TLS data is used and cleaned up.  It should
+not be called by the caller of `pthread_join()`.
 
 === Region and Data Messages
 
 These are concerned with recording performance data
-over regions or spans of code. e.g:
-`void trace2_region_enter(const char *category, const char *label, const struct repository *repo)`.
+over regions or spans of code.
+
+`void trace2_region_enter(const char *category, const char *label, const struct repository *repo)`::
+
+`void trace2_region_enter_printf(const char *category, const char *label, const struct repository *repo, const char *fmt, ...)`::
+
+`void trace2_region_enter_printf_va(const char *category, const char *label, const struct repository *repo, const char *fmt, va_list ap)`::
+
+	Emits a thread-relative "region_enter" message with optional
+	printf string.
++
+This function pushes a new region nesting stack level on the current
+thread and starts a clock for the new stack frame.
++
+The `category` field is an arbitrary category name used to classify
+regions by feature area, such as "status" or "index".  At this time
+it is only just printed along with the rest of the message.  It may
+be used in the future to filter messages.
++
+The `label` field is an arbitrary label used to describe the activity
+being started, such as "read_recursive" or "do_read_index".
++
+The `repo` field, if set, will be used to get the "repo-id", so that
+recursive oerations can be attributed to the correct repository.
+
+`void trace2_region_leave(const char *category, const char *label, const struct repository *repo)`::
+
+`void trace2_region_leave_printf(const char *category, const char *label, const struct repository *repo, const char *fmt, ...)`::
+
+`void trace2_region_leave_printf_va(const char *category, const char *label, const struct repository *repo, const char *fmt, va_list ap)`::
+
+	Emits a thread-relative "region_leave" message with optional
+	printf string.
++
+This function pops the region nesting stack on the current thread
+and reports the elapsed time of the stack frame.
++
+The `category`, `label`, and `repo` fields are the same as above.
+The `category` and `label` do not need to match the correpsonding
+"region_enter" message, but it makes the data stream easier to
+understand.
+
+`void trace2_data_string(const char *category, const struct repository *repo, const char *key, const char * value)`::
+
+`void trace2_data_intmax(const char *category, const struct repository *repo, const char *key, intmax value)`::
+
+`void trace2_data_json(const char *category, const struct repository *repo, const char *key, const struct json_writer *jw)`::
 
-Refer to trace2.h for details about all trace2 functions.
+	Emits a region- and thread-relative "data" or "data_json" message.
++

+tree walking API
+================
+
+The tree walking API is used to traverse and inspect trees.
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+
+`struct name_entry`::
+
+	An entry in a tree. Each entry has a sha1 identifier, pathname, and
+	mode.
+
+`struct tree_desc`::
+
+	A semi-opaque data structure used to maintain the current state of the
+	walk.
++
+* `buffer` is a pointer into the memory representation of the tree. It always
+points at the current entry being visited.
+
+* `size` counts the number of bytes left in the `buffer`.
+
+* `entry` points to the current entry being visited.
+
+`struct traverse_info`::
+
+	A structure used to maintain the state of a traversal.
++
+* `prev` points to the traverse_info which was used to descend into the
+current tree. If this is the top-level tree `prev` will point to
+a dummy traverse_info.
+
+* `name` is the entry for the current tree (if the tree is a subtree).
+
+* `pathlen` is the length of the full path for the current tree.
+
+* `conflicts` can be used by callbacks to maintain directory-file conflicts.
+
+* `fn` is a callback called for each entry in the tree. See Traversing for more
+information.
+
+* `data` can be anything the `fn` callback would want to use.
+
+* `show_all_errors` tells whether to stop at the first error or not.
+
+Initializing
+------------
+
+`init_tree_desc`::
+
+	Initialize a `tree_desc` and decode its first entry. The buffer and
+	size parameters are assumed to be the same as the buffer and size
+	members of `struct tree`.
+
+`fill_tree_descriptor`::
+
+	Initialize a `tree_desc` and decode its first entry given the
+	object ID of a tree. Returns the `buffer` member if the latter
+	is a valid tree identifier and NULL otherwise.
+
+`setup_traverse_info`::
+
+	Initialize a `traverse_info` given the pathname of the tree to start
+	traversing from. The `base` argument is assumed to be the `path`
+	member of the `name_entry` being recursed into unless the tree is a
+	top-level tree in which case the empty string ("") is used.
+
+Walking
+-------
+
+`tree_entry`::
+
+	Visit the next entry in a tree. Returns 1 when there are more entries
+	left to visit and 0 when all entries have been visited. This is
+	commonly used in the test of a while loop.
+
+`tree_entry_len`::
+
+	Calculate the length of a tree entry's pathname. This utilizes the
+	memory structure of a tree entry to avoid the overhead of using a
+	generic strlen().
+
+`update_tree_entry`::
+
+	Walk to the next entry in a tree. This is commonly used in conjunction
+	with `tree_entry_extract` to inspect the current entry.
+
+`tree_entry_extract`::
+
+	Decode the entry currently being visited (the one pointed to by
+	`tree_desc's` `entry` member) and return the sha1 of the entry. The
+	`pathp` and `modep` arguments are set to the entry's pathname and mode
+	respectively.
+
+`get_tree_entry`::
+
+	Find an entry in a tree given a pathname and the sha1 of a tree to
+	search. Returns 0 if the entry is found and -1 otherwise. The third
+	and fourth parameters are set to the entry's sha1 and mode
+	respectively.
+
+Traversing
+----------
+
+`traverse_trees`::
+
+	Traverse `n` number of trees in parallel. The `fn` callback member of
+	`traverse_info` is called once for each tree entry.
+
+`traverse_callback_t`::
+	The arguments passed to the traverse callback are as follows:
++
+* `n` counts the number of trees being traversed.
+
+* `mask` has its nth bit set if something exists in the nth entry.
+
+* `dirmask` has its nth bit set if the nth tree's entry is a directory.
+
+* `entry` is an array of size `n` where the nth entry is from the nth tree.
+
+* `info` maintains the state of the traversal.
+
++
+Returning a negative value will terminate the traversal. Otherwise the
+return value is treated as an update mask. If the nth bit is set the nth tree
+will be updated and if the bit is not set the nth tree entry will be the
+same in the next callback invocation.
+
+`make_traverse_path`::
+
+	Generate the full pathname of a tree entry based from the root of the
+	traversal. For example, if the traversal has recursed into another
+	tree named "bar" the pathname of an entry "baz" in the "bar"
+	tree would be "bar/baz".
+
+`traverse_path_len`::
+
+	Calculate the length of a pathname returned by `make_traverse_path`.
+	This utilizes the memory structure of a tree entry to avoid the
+	overhead of using a generic strlen().

-= Git bundle v2 format
-
-The Git bundle format is a format that represents both refs and Git objects.
-
-== Format
-
-We will use ABNF notation to define the Git bundle format. See
-protocol-common.txt for the details.
-
-----
-bundle    = signature *prerequisite *reference LF pack
-signature = "# v2 git bundle" LF
-
-prerequisite = "-" obj-id SP comment LF
-comment      = *CHAR
-reference    = obj-id SP refname LF
-
-pack         = ... ; packfile
-----
-
-== Semantics
-
-A Git bundle consists of three parts.
-
-* "Prerequisites" lists the objects that are NOT included in the bundle and the
-  reader of the bundle MUST already have, in order to use the data in the
-  bundle. The objects stored in the bundle may refer to prerequisite objects and
-  anything reachable from them (e.g. a tree object in the bundle can reference
-  a blob that is reachable from a prerequisite) and/or expressed as a delta
-  against prerequisite objects.
-
-* "References" record the tips of the history graph, iow, what the reader of the
-  bundle CAN "git fetch" from it.
-
-* "Pack" is the pack data stream "git fetch" would send, if you fetch from a
-  repository that has the references recorded in the "References" above into a
-  repository that has references pointing at the objects listed in
-  "Prerequisites" above.
-
-In the bundle format, there can be a comment following a prerequisite obj-id.
-This is a comment and it has no specific meaning. The writer of the bundle MAY
-put any string here. The reader of the bundle MUST ignore the comment.
-
-=== Note on the shallow clone and a Git bundle
-
-Note that the prerequisites does not represent a shallow-clone boundary. The
-semantics of the prerequisites and the shallow-clone boundaries are different,
-and the Git bundle v2 format cannot represent a shallow clone repository.

-Using many promisor remotes
----------------------------
-
-Many promisor remotes can be configured and used.
-
-This allows for example a user to have multiple geographically-close
-cache servers for fetching missing blobs while continuing to do
-filtered `git-fetch` commands from the central server.
-
-When fetching objects, promisor remotes are tried one after the other
-until all the objects have been fetched.
-
-Remotes that are considered "promisor" remotes are those specified by
-the following configuration variables:
-
-- `extensions.partialClone = <name>`
-
-- `remote.<name>.promisor = true`
-
-- `remote.<name>.partialCloneFilter = ...`
-
-Only one promisor remote can be configured using the
-`extensions.partialClone` config variable. This promisor remote will
-be the last one tried when fetching objects.
-
-We decided to make it the last one we try, because it is likely that
-someone using many promisor remotes is doing so because the other
-promisor remotes are better for some reason (maybe they are closer or
-faster for some kind of objects) than the origin, and the origin is
-likely to be the remote specified by extensions.partialClone.
-
-This justification is not very strong, but one choice had to be made,
-and anyway the long term plan should be to make the order somehow
-fully configurable.

-For now though the other promisor remotes will be tried in the order
-they appear in the config file.
