Subject: [PATCH 1/5] git-fetch.txt: document fetch output
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This documents the ref update status of fetch. The structure of this
output is defined in [1]. The ouput content is refined a bit in [2]
[3] [4].

This patch is a copy from git-push.txt, modified a bit because the
flag '-' means different things in push (delete) and fetch (tag
update).

PS. For code archaeologists, the discussion mentioned in [1] is
probably [5].

+OUTPUT
+------
+
+The output of "git fetch" depends on the transport method used; this
+section describes the output when fetching over the Git protocol
+(either locally or via ssh) and Smart HTTP protocol.
+
+The status of the fetch is output in tabular form, with each line
+representing the status of a single ref. Each line is of the form:
+
+-------------------------------
+ <flag> <summary> <from> -> <to> [<reason>]
+-------------------------------
+
+The status of up-to-date refs is shown only if the --verbose option is
+used.
+
+flag::
+	A single character indicating the status of the ref:
+(space);; for a successfully fetched fast-forward;
+`+`;; for a successful forced update;
+`x`;; for a successfully pruned ref;
+`-`;; for a successful tag update;
+`*`;; for a successfully fetched new ref;
+`!`;; for a ref that was rejected or failed to update; and
+`=`;; for a ref that was up to date and did not need fetching.
+
+summary::
+	For a successfully fetched ref, the summary shows the old and new
+	values of the ref in a form suitable for using as an argument to
+	`git log` (this is `<old>..<new>` in most cases, and
+	`<old>...<new>` for forced non-fast-forward updates).
+
+from::
+	The name of the remote ref being fetched from, minus its
+	`refs/<type>/` prefix. In the case of deletion, the name of
+	the remote ref is "(none)".
+
+to::
+	The name of the local ref being updated, minus its
+	`refs/<type>/` prefix.
+
+reason::
+	A human-readable explanation. In the case of successfully fetched
+	refs, no explanation is needed. For a failed ref, the reason for
+	failure is described.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fetch: refactor ref update status formatting code
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This makes it easier to change the formatting later. And it makes sure
translators cannot mess up format specifiers and break Git.

There are a couple call sites where the length of the second column is
TRANSPORT_SUMMARY_WIDTH instead of calculated by TRANSPORT_SUMMARY(),
which is enforced now. The result should be the same because these call
sites do not contain characters outside ASCII range.

The two strbuf_addf() calls instead of one is mostly to reduce
diff-noise in a future patch where "ref -> ref" is reformatted
differently.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

We do align "remote -> local" output by allocating 10 columns to
"remote". That produces aligned output only for short refs. An extra
pass is performed to find the longest remote ref name (that does not
produce a line longer than terminal width) to produce better aligned
output.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] fetch: reduce duplicate in ref update status lines with
 placeholder
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In the "remote -> local" line, if either ref is a substring of the
other, the common part in the other string is replaced with "*". For
example

    abc                -> origin/abc
    refs/pull/123/head -> pull/123

become

    abc         -> origin/*
    refs/*/head -> pull/123

Activated with fetch.output=compact.

For the record, this output is not perfect. A single giant ref can
push all refs very far to the right and likely be wrapped around. We
may have a few options:

 - exclude these long lines smarter

 - break the line after "->", exclude it from column width calculation

 - implement a new format, { -> origin/}foo, which makes the problem
   go away at the cost of a bit harder to read

 - reverse all the arrows so we have "* <- looong-ref", again still
   hard to read.
