 .SH "PERFORMANCE"
-The design of gfi allows it to import large projects in a minimum amount of memory usage and processing time. Assuming the frontend is able to keep up with gfi and feed it a constant stream of data, import times for projects holding 10+ years of history and containing 100,000+ individual commits are generally completed in just 1\-2 hours on quite modest (~$2,000 USD) hardware.

-Most bottlenecks appear to be in foreign source data access (the source just cannot extract revisions fast enough) or disk IO (gfi writes as fast as the disk will take the data). Imports will run faster if the source data is stored on a different drive than the destination Git repository (due to less IO contention).

Imports will run faster if the source data is stored on a different drive than the destination Git repository (due to less IO contention).
 .SH "DEVELOPMENT COST"
-A typical frontend for gfi tends to weigh in at approximately 200 lines of Perl/Python/Ruby code. Most developers have been able to create working importers in just a couple of hours, even though it is their first exposure to gfi, and sometimes even to Git. This is an ideal situation, given that most conversion tools are throw\-away (use once, and never look back).

This is an ideal situation, given that most conversion tools are throw\-away (use once, and never look back).
 .SH "PARALLEL OPERATION"
-Like git\-push or git\-fetch, imports handled by gfi are safe to run alongside parallel git repack \-a \-d or git gc invocations, or any other Git operation (including git prune, as loose objects are never used by gfi).
+Like git\-push or git\-fetch, imports handled by fast\-import are safe to run alongside parallel git repack \-a \-d or git gc invocations, or any other Git operation (including git prune, as loose objects are never used by fast\-import).
 
-gfi does not lock the branch or tag refs it is actively importing. After the import, during its ref update phase, gfi tests each existing branch ref to verify the update will be a fast\-forward update (the commit stored in the ref is contained in the new history of the commit to be written). If the update is not a fast\-forward update, gfi will skip updating that ref and instead prints a warning message. gfi will always attempt to update all branch refs, and does not stop on the first failure.

 Branch updates can be forced with \-\-force, but its recommended that this only be used on an otherwise quiet repository. Using \-\-force is not necessary for an initial import into an empty repository.
 .SH "TECHNICAL DISCUSSION"
-gfi tracks a set of branches in memory. Any branch can be created or modified at any point during the import process by sending a commit command on the input stream. This design allows a frontend program to process an unlimited number of branches simultaneously, generating commits in the order they are available from the source data. It also simplifies the frontend programs considerably.

This design allows a frontend program to process an unlimited number of branches simultaneously, generating commits in the order they are available from the source data. It also simplifies the frontend programs considerably.
 
-gfi does not use or alter the current working directory, or any file within it. (It does however update the current Git repository, as referenced by GIT_DIR.) Therefore an import frontend may use the working directory for its own purposes, such as extracting file revisions from the foreign source. This ignorance of the working directory also allows gfi to run very quickly, as it does not need to perform any costly file update operations when switching between branches.

 .SH "INPUT FORMAT"
-With the exception of raw file data (which Git does not interpret) the gfi input format is text (ASCII) based. This text based format simplifies development and debugging of frontend programs, especially when a higher level language such as Perl, Python or Ruby is being used.

-gfi is very strict about its input. Where we say SP below we mean \fBexactly\fR one space. Likewise LF means one (and only one) linefeed. Supplying additional whitespace characters will cause unexpected results, such as branch names or file names with leading or trailing spaces in their name, or early termination of gfi when it encounters unexpected input.

 .SS "Date Formats"
 The following date formats are supported. A frontend should select the format it will use for this import by passing the format name in the \-\-date\-format=<fmt> command line option.
 .TP
 raw
-This is the Git native format and is <time> SP <offutc>. It is also gfi's default format, if \-\-date\-format was not specified.
+This is the Git native format and is <time> SP <offutc>. It is also fast\-import's default format, if \-\-date\-format was not specified.
 
 The time of the event is specified by <time> as the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch (midnight, Jan 1, 1970, UTC) and is written as an ASCII decimal integer.
 
 The local offset is specified by <offutc> as a positive or negative offset from UTC. For example EST (which is 5 hours behind UTC) would be expressed in <tz> by \(lq\-0500\(rq while UTC is \(lq+0000\(rq. The local offset does not affect <time>; it is used only as an advisement to help formatting routines display the timestamp.
 
-If the local offset is not available in the source material, use \(lq+0000\(rq, or the most common local offset. For example many organizations have a CVS repository which has only ever been accessed by users who are located in the same location and timezone. In this case the offset from UTC can be easily assumed.

 .TP
 rfc2822
 This is the standard email format as described by RFC 2822.
 
-An example value is \(lqTue Feb 6 11:22:18 2007 \-0500\(rq. The Git parser is accurate, but a little on the lenient side. Its the same parser used by \fBgit\-am\fR(1) when applying patches received from email.

 Some malformed strings may be accepted as valid dates. In some of these cases Git will still be able to obtain the correct date from the malformed string. There are also some types of malformed strings which Git will parse wrong, and yet consider valid. Seriously malformed strings will be rejected.
 
 Unlike the raw format above, the timezone/UTC offset information contained in an RFC 2822 date string is used to adjust the date value to UTC prior to storage. Therefore it is important that this information be as accurate as possible.
 
-If the source material is formatted in RFC 2822 style dates, the frontend should let gfi handle the parsing and conversion (rather than attempting to do it itself) as the Git parser has been well tested in the wild.
+If the source material uses RFC 2822 style dates, the frontend should let fast\-import handle the parsing and conversion (rather than attempting to do it itself) as the Git parser has been well tested in the wild.

 now
 Always use the current time and timezone. The literal now must always be supplied for <when>.
 
-This is a toy format. The current time and timezone of this system is always copied into the identity string at the time it is being created by gfi. There is no way to specify a different time or timezone.
+This is a toy format. The current time and timezone of this system is always copied into the identity string at the time it is being created by fast\-import. There is no way to specify a different time or timezone.
 
 This particular format is supplied as its short to implement and may be useful to a process that wants to create a new commit right now, without needing to use a working directory or \fBgit\-update\-index\fR(1).
 
 If separate author and committer commands are used in a commit the timestamps may not match, as the system clock will be polled twice (once for each command). The only way to ensure that both author and committer identity information has the same timestamp is to omit author (thus copying from committer) or to use a date format other than now.

If the frontend can tie the marks back to the source repository, it is easy to verify the accuracy and completeness of the import by comparing each Git commit to the corresponding source revision.

-Don't bother trying to optimize the frontend to stick to one branch at a time during an import. Although doing so might be slightly faster for gfi, it tends to increase the complexity of the frontend code considerably.

 .SS "Use Tag Fixup Branches"
 Some other SCM systems let the user create a tag from multiple files which are not from the same commit/changeset. Or to create tags which are a subset of the files available in the repository.
 
-Importing these tags as\-is in Git is impossible without making at least one commit which \(lqfixes up\(rq the files to match the content of the tag. Use gfi's reset command to reset a dummy branch outside of your normal branch space to the base commit for the tag, then commit one or more file fixup commits, and finally tag the dummy branch.
+Importing these tags as\-is in Git is impossible without making at least one commit which \(lqfixes up\(rq the files to match the content of the tag. Use fast\-import's reset command to reset a dummy branch outside of your normal branch space to the base commit for the tag, then commit one or more file fixup commits, and finally tag the dummy branch.
 
 For example since all normal branches are stored under refs/heads/ name the tag fixup branch TAG_FIXUP. This way it is impossible for the fixup branch used by the importer to have namespace conflicts with real branches imported from the source (the name TAG_FIXUP is not refs/heads/TAG_FIXUP).
 
 When committing fixups, consider using merge to connect the commit(s) which are supplying file revisions to the fixup branch. Doing so will allow tools such as \fBgit\-blame\fR(1) to track through the real commit history and properly annotate the source files.
 
-After gfi terminates the frontend will need to do rm .git/TAG_FIXUP to remove the dummy branch.

+As soon as fast\-import completes the Git repository is completely valid and ready for use. Typicallly this takes only a very short time, even for considerably large projects (100,000+ commits).
 
 However repacking the repository is necessary to improve data locality and access performance. It can also take hours on extremely large projects (especially if \-f and a large \-\-window parameter is used). Since repacking is safe to run alongside readers and writers, run the repack in the background and let it finish when it finishes. There is no reason to wait to explore your new Git project!
 
-If you choose to wait for the repack, don't try to run benchmarks or performance tests until repacking is completed. gfi outputs suboptimal packfiles that are simply never seen in real use situations.

 .SS "Repacking Historical Data"
 If you are repacking very old imported data (e.g. older than the last year), consider expending some extra CPU time and supplying \-\-window=50 (or higher) when you run \fBgit\-repack\fR(1). This will take longer, but will also produce a smaller packfile. You only need to expend the effort once, and everyone using your project will benefit from the smaller repository.
 .SH "PACKFILE OPTIMIZATION"
-When packing a blob gfi always attempts to deltify against the last blob written. Unless specifically arranged for by the frontend, this will probably not be a prior version of the same file, so the generated delta will not be the smallest possible. The resulting packfile will be compressed, but will not be optimal.

The resulting packfile will be compressed, but will not be optimal.
 
-Frontends which have efficient access to all revisions of a single file (for example reading an RCS/CVS ,v file) can choose to supply all revisions of that file as a sequence of consecutive blob commands. This allows gfi to deltify the different file revisions against each other, saving space in the final packfile. Marks can be used to later identify individual file revisions during a sequence of commit commands.

Marks can be used to later identify individual file revisions during a sequence of commit commands.
 
-The packfile(s) created by gfi do not encourage good disk access patterns. This is caused by gfi writing the data in the order it is received on standard input, while Git typically organizes data within packfiles to make the most recent (current tip) data appear before historical data. Git also clusters commits together, speeding up revision traversal through better cache locality.

If blob deltas are suboptimal (see above) then also adding the \-f option to force recomputation of all deltas can significantly reduce the final packfile size (30\-50% smaller can be quite typical).

 .SH "MEMORY UTILIZATION"
-There are a number of factors which affect how much memory gfi requires to perform an import. Like critical sections of core Git, gfi uses its own memory allocators to ammortize any overheads associated with malloc. In practice gfi tends to ammoritize any malloc overheads to 0, due to its use of large block allocations.

 .SS "per object"
-gfi maintains an in\-memory structure for every object written in this execution. On a 32 bit system the structure is 32 bytes, on a 64 bit system the structure is 40 bytes (due to the larger pointer sizes). Objects in the table are not deallocated until gfi terminates. Importing 2 million objects on a 32 bit system will require approximately 64 MiB of memory.

Importing 2 million objects on a 32 bit system will require approximately 64 MiB of memory.
 
-The object table is actually a hashtable keyed on the object name (the unique SHA\-1). This storage configuration allows gfi to reuse an existing or already written object and avoid writing duplicates to the output packfile. Duplicate blobs are surprisingly common in an import, typically due to branch merges in the source.

This storage configuration allows fast\-import to reuse an existing or already written object and avoid writing duplicates to the output packfile.

 .SS "per mark"
 Marks are stored in a sparse array, using 1 pointer (4 bytes or 8 bytes, depending on pointer size) per mark. Although the array is sparse, frontends are still strongly encouraged to use marks between 1 and n, where n is the total number of marks required for this import.
 .SS "per branch"
 Branches are classified as active and inactive. The memory usage of the two classes is significantly different.
 
-Inactive branches are stored in a structure which uses 96 or 120 bytes (32 bit or 64 bit systems, respectively), plus the length of the branch name (typically under 200 bytes), per branch. gfi will easily handle as many as 10,000 inactive branches in under 2 MiB of memory.
+Inactive branches are stored in a structure which uses 96 or 120 bytes (32 bit or 64 bit systems, respectively), plus the length of the branch name (typically under 200 bytes), per branch. fast\-import will easily handle as many as 10,000 inactive branches in under 2 MiB of memory.
 
 Active branches have the same overhead as inactive branches, but also contain copies of every tree that has been recently modified on that branch. If subtree include has not been modified since the branch became active, its contents will not be loaded into memory, but if subtree src has been modified by a commit since the branch became active, then its contents will be loaded in memory.
 
 As active branches store metadata about the files contained on that branch, their in\-memory storage size can grow to a considerable size (see below).
 
-gfi automatically moves active branches to inactive status based on a simple least\-recently\-used algorithm. The LRU chain is updated on each commit command. The maximum number of active branches can be increased or decreased on the command line with \-\-active\-branches=.

 .SS "per active tree"
 Trees (aka directories) use just 12 bytes of memory on top of the memory required for their entries (see \(lqper active file\(rq below). The cost of a tree is virtually 0, as its overhead ammortizes out over the individual file entries.
 .SS "per active file entry"
 Files (and pointers to subtrees) within active trees require 52 or 64 bytes (32/64 bit platforms) per entry. To conserve space, file and tree names are pooled in a common string table, allowing the filename \(lqMakefile\(rq to use just 16 bytes (after including the string header overhead) no matter how many times it occurs within the project.
 
-The active branch LRU, when coupled with the filename string pool and lazy loading of subtrees, allows gfi to efficiently import projects with 2,000+ branches and 45,114+ files in a very limited memory footprint (less than 2.7 MiB per active branch).

+.SH "DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR"
+Often people use git pull without giving any parameter. Traditionally, this has been equivalent to saying git pull origin. However, when configuration branch.<name>.remote is present while on branch <name>, that value is used instead of origin.
+
+In order to determine what URL to use to fetch from, the value of the configuration remote.<origin>.url is consulted and if there is not any such variable, the value on URL: line in $GIT_DIR/remotes/<origin> file is used.
+
+In order to determine what remote branches to fetch (and optionally store in the tracking branches) when the command is run without any refspec parameters on the command line, values of the configuration variable remote.<origin>.fetch are consulted, and if there aren't any, $GIT_DIR/remotes/<origin> file is consulted and its Pull: lines are used. In addition to the refspec formats described in the OPTIONS section, you can have a globbing refspec that looks like this:
+.sp
+.nf
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
+.fi
+A globbing refspec must have a non\-empty RHS (i.e. must store what were fetched in tracking branches), and its LHS and RHS must end with /*. The above specifies that all remote branches are tracked using tracking branches in refs/remotes/origin/ hierarchy under the same name.
+
+The rule to determine which remote branch to merge after fetching is a bit involved, in order not to break backward compatibility.
+
+If explicit refspecs were given on the command line of git pull, they are all merged.
+
+When no refspec was given on the command line, then git pull uses the refspec from the configuration or $GIT_DIR/remotes/<origin>. In such cases, the following rules apply:
