From: Derrick Stolee Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:25:41 +0000 (+0000) Subject: fetch: add --negotiation-restrict option X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=47a768f4bd6ddfb2668a6a4690f7699e8fbba20b;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git fetch: add --negotiation-restrict option The --negotiation-tip option to 'git fetch' and 'git pull' allows users to specify that they want to focus negotiation on a small set of references. This is a _restriction_ on the negotiation set, helping to focus the negotiation when the ref count is high. However, it doesn't allow for the ability to opportunistically select references beyond that list. This subtle detail that this is a 'maximum set' and not a 'minimum set' is not immediately clear from the option name. This makes it more complicated to add a new option that provides the complementary behavior of a minimum set. For now, create a new synonym option, --negotiation-restrict, that behaves identically to --negotiation-tip. Update the documentation to make it clear that this new name is the preferred option, but we keep the old name for compatibility. Mark --negotiation-tip as an alias of the new, preferred option. Update a few warning messages with the new option, but also make them translatable with the option name inserted by formatting. At least one of these messages will be reused later for a new option.
