 8.3.1 Listing Submodules
 ------------------------
 
 The command ‘magit-list-submodules’ displays a list of the current
 repository’s submodules in a separate buffer.  It’s also possible to
 display information about submodules directly in the status buffer of
 the super-repository by adding ‘magit-insert-modules’ to the hook
 ‘magit-status-sections-hook’ as described in *note Status Module
 Sections::.
 
  -- Command: magit-list-submodules
 
      This command displays a list of the current repository’s submodules
      in a separate buffer.
 
      It can be invoked by pressing ‘RET’ on the section titled
      "Modules".
 
  -- User Option: magit-submodule-list-columns
 
      This option controls what columns are displayed by the command
      ‘magit-list-submodules’ and how they are displayed.
 
      Each element has the form ‘(HEADER WIDTH FORMAT PROPS)’.
 
      HEADER is the string displayed in the header.  WIDTH is the width
      of the column.  FORMAT is a function that is called with one
      argument, the repository identification (usually its basename), and
      with ‘default-directory’ bound to the toplevel of its working tree.
      It has to return a string to be inserted or nil.  PROPS is an alist
      that supports the keys ‘:right-align’ and ‘:pad-right’.

 8.3.2 Submodule Transient
 -------------------------
 
 ‘o’     (‘magit-submodule’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds the following suffix commands
      along with the appropriate infix arguments and displays them in a
      temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.
 
    Some of the below commands default to act on the modules that are
 selected using the region.  For brevity their description talk about
 "the selected modules", but if no modules are selected, then they act on
 the current module instead, or if point isn’t on a module, then the read
 a single module to act on.  With a prefix argument these commands ignore
 the selection and the current module and instead act on all suitable
 modules.
 
 ‘o a’     (‘magit-submodule-add’)
 
      This commands adds the repository at URL as a module.  Optional
      PATH is the path to the module relative to the root of the
      super-project.  If it is nil then the path is determined based on
      URL.
 
 ‘o r’     (‘magit-submodule-register’)
 
      This command registers the selected modules by copying their urls
      from ".gitmodules" to "$GIT_DIR/config".  These values can then be
      edited before running ‘magit-submodule-populate’.  If you don’t
      need to edit any urls, then use the latter directly.
 
 ‘o p’     (‘magit-submodule-populate’)
 
      This command creates the working directory or directories of the
      selected modules, checking out the recorded commits.
 
 ‘o u’     (‘magit-submodule-update’)
 
      This command updates the selected modules checking out the recorded
      commits.
 
 ‘o s’     (‘magit-submodule-synchronize’)
 
      This command synchronizes the urls of the selected modules, copying
      the values from ".gitmodules" to the ".git/config" of the
      super-project as well those of the modules.
 
 ‘o d’     (‘magit-submodule-unpopulate’)
 
      This command removes the working directory of the selected modules.
 
 ‘o l’     (‘magit-list-submodules’)
 
      This command displays a list of the current repository’s modules.
 
 ‘o f’     (‘magit-fetch-modules’)
 
      This command fetches all modules.
 
      Option ‘magit-fetch-modules-jobs’ controls how many submodules are
      being fetched in parallel.  Also fetch the super-repository,
      because ‘git fetch’ does not support not doing that.  With a prefix
      argument fetch all remotes.

 8.4 Subtree
 ===========
 
 Also see *note (gitman)git-subtree::.
 
 ‘O’     (‘magit-subtree’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds the two sub-transients; one for
      importing a subtree and one for exporting a subtree.
 
 ‘O i’     (‘magit-subtree-import’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds the following suffix commands
      along with the appropriate infix arguments and displays them in a
      temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.
 
      The suffixes of this command import subtrees.
 
      If the ‘--prefix’ argument is set, then the suffix commands use
      that prefix without prompting the user.  If it is unset, then they
      read the prefix in the minibuffer.
 
 ‘O i a’     (‘magit-subtree-add’)
 
      This command adds COMMIT from REPOSITORY as a new subtree at
      PREFIX.
 
 ‘O i c’     (‘magit-subtree-add-commit’)
 
      This command add COMMIT as a new subtree at PREFIX.
 
 ‘O i m’     (‘magit-subtree-merge’)
 
      This command merges COMMIT into the PREFIX subtree.
 
 ‘O i f’     (‘magit-subtree-pull’)
 
      This command pulls COMMIT from REPOSITORY into the PREFIX subtree.
 
 ‘O e’     (‘magit-subtree-export’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds the following suffix commands
      along with the appropriate infix arguments and displays them in a
      temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.
 
      The suffixes of this command export subtrees.
 
      If the ‘--prefix’ argument is set, then the suffix commands use
      that prefix without prompting the user.  If it is unset, then they
      read the prefix in the minibuffer.
 
 ‘O e p’     (‘magit-subtree-push’)
 
      This command extract the history of the subtree PREFIX and pushes
      it to REF on REPOSITORY.
 
 ‘O e s’     (‘magit-subtree-split’)
 
      This command extracts the history of the subtree PREFIX.

 8.5 Worktree
 ============
 
 Also see *note (gitman)git-worktree::.
 
 ‘Z’     (‘magit-worktree’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds the following suffix commands
      and displays them in a temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.
 
 ‘Z b’     (‘magit-worktree-checkout’)
 
      Checkout BRANCH in a new worktree at PATH.
 
 ‘Z c’     (‘magit-worktree-branch’)
 
      Create a new BRANCH and check it out in a new worktree at PATH.
 
 ‘Z m’     (‘magit-worktree-move’)
 
      Move an existing worktree to a new PATH.
 
 ‘Z k’     (‘magit-worktree-delete’)
 
      Delete a worktree, defaulting to the worktree at point.  The
      primary worktree cannot be deleted.
 
 ‘Z g’     (‘magit-worktree-status’)
 
      Show the status for the worktree at point.
 
      If there is no worktree at point, then read one in the minibuffer.
      If the worktree at point is the one whose status is already being
      displayed in the current buffer, then show it in Dired instead.

 8.6 Bundle
 ==========
 
 Also see *note (gitman)git-bundle::.
 
  -- Command: magit-bundle
 
      This transient prefix command binds several suffix commands for
      running ‘git bundle’ subcommands and displays them in a temporary
      buffer until a suffix is invoked.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Common Commands,  Next: Wip Modes,  Prev: Bundle,  Up: Miscellaneous
 
 8.7 Common Commands
 ===================
 
  -- Command: magit-switch-to-repository-buffer
  -- Command: magit-switch-to-repository-buffer-other-window
  -- Command: magit-switch-to-repository-buffer-other-frame
  -- Command: magit-display-repository-buffer
 
      These commands read any existing Magit buffer that belongs to the
      current repository from the user and then switch to the selected
      buffer (without refreshing it).
 
      The last variant uses ‘magit-display-buffer’ to do so and thus
      respects ‘magit-display-buffer-function’.
 
    These are some of the commands that can be used in all buffers whose
 major-modes derive from ‘magit-mode’.  There are other common commands
 beside the ones below, but these didn’t fit well anywhere else.
 
 ‘C-w’     (‘magit-copy-section-value’)
 
      This command saves the value of the current section to the
      ‘kill-ring’, and, provided that the current section is a commit,
      branch, or tag section, it also pushes the (referenced) revision to
      the ‘magit-revision-stack’.
 
      When the current section is a branch or a tag, and a prefix
      argument is used, then it saves the revision at its tip to the
      ‘kill-ring’ instead of the reference name.
 
      When the region is active, this command saves that to the
      ‘kill-ring’, like ‘kill-ring-save’ would, instead of behaving as
      described above.  If a prefix argument is used and the region is
      within a hunk, then it strips the diff marker column and keeps only
      either the added or removed lines, depending on the sign of the
      prefix argument.
 
 ‘M-w’     (‘magit-copy-buffer-revision’)
 
      This command saves the revision being displayed in the current
      buffer to the ‘kill-ring’ and also pushes it to the
      ‘magit-revision-stack’.  It is mainly intended for use in
      ‘magit-revision-mode’ buffers, the only buffers where it is always
      unambiguous exactly which revision should be saved.
 
      Most other Magit buffers usually show more than one revision, in
      some way or another, so this command has to select one of them, and
      that choice might not always be the one you think would have been
      the best pick.
 
    Outside of Magit ‘M-w’ and ‘C-w’ are usually bound to
 ‘kill-ring-save’ and ‘kill-region’, and these commands would also be
 useful in Magit buffers.  Therefore when the region is active, then both
 of these commands behave like ‘kill-ring-save’ instead of as described
 above.

 8.8 Wip Modes
 =============
 
 Git keeps *committed* changes around long enough for users to recover
 changes they have accidentally deleted.  It does so by not garbage
 collecting any committed but no longer referenced objects for a certain
 period of time, by default 30 days.
 
    But Git does *not* keep track of *uncommitted* changes in the working
 tree and not even the index (the staging area).  Because Magit makes it
 so convenient to modify uncommitted changes, it also makes it easy to
 shoot yourself in the foot in the process.
 
    For that reason Magit provides a global mode that saves *tracked*
 files to work-in-progress references after or before certain actions.
 (At present untracked files are never saved and for technical reasons
 nothing is saved before the first commit has been created).
 
    Two separate work-in-progress references are used to track the state
 of the index and of the working tree: ‘refs/wip/index/<branchref>’ and
 ‘refs/wip/wtree/<branchref>’, where ‘<branchref>’ is the full ref of the
 current branch, e.g.  ‘refs/heads/master’.  When the ‘HEAD’ is detached
 then ‘HEAD’ is used in place of ‘<branchref>’.
 
    Checking out another branch (or detaching ‘HEAD’) causes the use of
 different wip refs for subsequent changes.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-mode
 
      When this mode is enabled, then uncommitted changes are committed
      to dedicated work-in-progress refs whenever appropriate (i.e.  when
      dataloss would be a possibility otherwise).
 
      Setting this variable directly does not take effect; either use the
      Custom interface to do so or call the respective mode function.
 
      For historic reasons this mode is implemented on top of four other
      ‘magit-wip-*’ modes, which can also be used individually, if you
      want finer control over when the wip refs are updated; but that is
      discouraged.  See *note Legacy Wip Modes::.
 
    To view the log for a branch and its wip refs use the commands
 ‘magit-wip-log’ and ‘magit-wip-log-current’.  You should use ‘--graph’
 when using these commands.
 
  -- Command: magit-wip-log
 
      This command shows the log for a branch and its wip refs.  With a
      negative prefix argument only the worktree wip ref is shown.
 
      The absolute numeric value of the prefix argument controls how many
      "branches" of each wip ref are shown.  This is only relevant if the
      value of ‘magit-wip-merge-branch’ is ‘nil’.
 
  -- Command: magit-wip-log-current
 
      This command shows the log for the current branch and its wip refs.
      With a negative prefix argument only the worktree wip ref is shown.
 
      The absolute numeric value of the prefix argument controls how many
      "branches" of each wip ref are shown.  This is only relevant if the
      value of ‘magit-wip-merge-branch’ is ‘nil’.
 
 ‘X w’     (‘magit-reset-worktree’)
 
      This command resets the working tree to some commit read from the
      user and defaulting to the commit at point, while keeping the
      ‘HEAD’ and index as-is.
 
      This can be used to restore files to the state committed to a wip
      ref.  Note that this will discard any unstaged changes that might
      have existed before invoking this command (but of course only after
      committing that to the working tree wip ref).
 
    Note that even if you enable ‘magit-wip-mode’ this won’t give you
 perfect protection.  The most likely scenario for losing changes despite
 the use of ‘magit-wip-mode’ is making a change outside Emacs and then
 destroying it also outside Emacs.  In some such a scenario, Magit, being
 an Emacs package, didn’t get the opportunity to keep you from shooting
 yourself in the foot.
 
    When you are unsure whether Magit did commit a change to the wip
 refs, then you can explicitly request that all changes to all tracked
 files are being committed.
 
 ‘M-x magit-wip-commit’     (‘magit-wip-commit’)
 
      This command commits all changes to all tracked files to the index
      and working tree work-in-progress refs.  Like the modes described
      above, it does not commit untracked files, but it does check all
      tracked files for changes.  Use this command when you suspect that
      the modes might have overlooked a change made outside Emacs/Magit.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-namespace
 
      The namespace used for work-in-progress refs.  It has to end with a
      slash.  The wip refs are named ‘<namespace>index/<branchref>’ and
      ‘<namespace>wtree/<branchref>’.  When snapshots are created while
      the ‘HEAD’ is detached then ‘HEAD’ is used in place of
      ‘<branchref>’.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-mode-lighter
 
      Mode-line lighter for ‘magit-wip--mode’.

 8.8.1 Wip Graph
 ---------------
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-merge-branch
 
      This option controls whether the current branch is merged into the
      wip refs after a new commit was created on the branch.
 
      If non-nil and the current branch has new commits, then it is
      merged into the wip ref before creating a new wip commit.  This
      makes it easier to inspect wip history and the wip commits are
      never garbage collected.
 
      If nil and the current branch has new commits, then the wip ref is
      reset to the tip of the branch before creating a new wip commit.
      With this setting wip commits are eventually garbage collected.
 
    When ‘magit-wip-merge-branch’ is ‘t’, then the history looks like
 this:
 
        *--*--*--*--*--*       refs/wip/index/refs/heads/master
       /     /     /
      A-----B-----C            refs/heads/master
 
    When ‘magit-wip-merge-branch’ is ‘nil’, then creating a commit on the
 real branch and then making a change causes the wip refs to be recreated
 to fork from the new commit.  But the old commits on the wip refs are
 not lost.  They are still available from the reflog.  To make it easier
 to see when the fork point of a wip ref was changed, an additional
 commit with the message "restart autosaving" is created on it (‘xxO’
 commits below are such boundary commits).
 
    Starting with
 
            BI0---BI1    refs/wip/index/refs/heads/master
           /
      A---B              refs/heads/master
           \
            BW0---BW1    refs/wip/wtree/refs/heads/master
 
    and committing the staged changes and editing and saving a file would
 result in
 
            BI0---BI1        refs/wip/index/refs/heads/master
           /
      A---B---C              refs/heads/master
           \   \
            \   CW0---CW1    refs/wip/wtree/refs/heads/master
             \
              BW0---BW1      refs/wip/wtree/refs/heads/master@{2}
 
    The fork-point of the index wip ref is not changed until some change
 is being staged.  Likewise just checking out a branch or creating a
 commit does not change the fork-point of the working tree wip ref.  The
 fork-points are not adjusted until there actually is a change that
 should be committed to the respective wip ref.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Legacy Wip Modes,  Prev: Wip Graph,  Up: Wip Modes
 
 8.8.2 Legacy Wip Modes
 ----------------------
 
 It is recommended that you use the mode ‘magit-wip-mode’ (which see) and
 ignore the existence of the following modes, which are preserved for
 historic reasons.
 
    Setting the following variables directly does not take effect; either
 use the Custom interface to do so or call the respective mode functions.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-after-save-mode
 
      When this mode is enabled, then saving a buffer that visits a file
      tracked in a Git repository causes its current state to be
      committed to the working tree wip ref for the current branch.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-after-apply-mode
 
      When this mode is enabled, then applying (i.e.  staging, unstaging,
      discarding, reversing, and regularly applying) a change to a file
      tracked in a Git repository causes its current state to be
      committed to the index and/or working tree wip refs for the current
      branch.
 
    If you only ever edit files using Emacs and only ever interact with
 Git using Magit, then the above two modes should be enough to protect
 each and every change from accidental loss.  In practice nobody does
 that.  Two additional modes exists that do commit to the wip refs before
 making changes that could cause the loss of earlier changes.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-before-change-mode
 
      When this mode is enabled, then certain commands commit the
      existing changes to the files they are about to make changes to.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-initial-backup-mode
 
      When this mode is enabled, then the current version of a file is
      committed to the worktree wip ref before the buffer visiting that
      file is saved for the first time since the buffer was created.
 
      This backs up the same version of the file that ‘backup-buffer’
      would save.  While ‘backup-buffer’ uses a backup file, this mode
      uses the same worktree wip ref as used by the other Magit Wip
      modes.  Like ‘backup-buffer’, it only does this once; unless you
      kill the buffer and visit the file again only one backup will be
      created per Emacs session.
 
      This mode ignores the variables that affect ‘backup-buffer’ and can
      be used along-side that function, which is recommended because it
      only backs up files that are tracked in a Git repository.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-after-save-local-mode-lighter
 
      Mode-line lighter for ‘magit-wip-after-save-local-mode’.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-after-apply-mode-lighter
 
      Mode-line lighter for ‘magit-wip-after-apply-mode’.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-before-change-mode-lighter
 
      Mode-line lighter for ‘magit-wip-before-change-mode’.
 
  -- User Option: magit-wip-initial-backup-mode-lighter
 
      Mode-line lighter for ‘magit-wip-initial-backup-mode’.

 8.9 Commands for Buffers Visiting Files
 =======================================
 
 Magit defines a few global key bindings unless the user sets
 ‘magit-define-global-key-bindings’ to ‘nil’.  This includes binding ‘C-c
 M-g’ to ‘magit-file-dispatch’.  ‘C-c g’ would be a much better binding
 but the ‘C-c <letter>’ namespace is reserved for users, meaning that
 packages are not allowed to use it.  If you want to use ‘C-c g’, then
 you have to add that binding yourself.  Also see *note Default
 Bindings:: and *note (elisp)Key Binding Conventions::.
 
    If you want a better binding, you have to add it yourself:
 
      (global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") 'magit-file-dispatch)
 
    The key bindings shown below assume that you have not improved the
 binding for ‘magit-file-dispatch’.
 
 ‘C-c M-g’     (‘magit-file-dispatch’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds the following suffix commands
      and displays them in a temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.
 
      When invoked in a buffer that does not visit a file, then it falls
      back to regular ‘magit-dispatch’.
 
 ‘C-c M-g s’     (‘magit-stage-file’)
 
      Stage all changes to the file being visited in the current buffer.
 
 ‘C-c M-g u’     (‘magit-unstage-file’)
 
      Unstage all changes to the file being visited in the current
      buffer.
 
 ‘C-c M-g c’     (‘magit-commit’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds the following suffix commands
      along with the appropriate infix arguments and displays them in a
      temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.  See *note Initiating a
      Commit::.
 
 ‘C-c M-g D’     (‘magit-diff’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds several diff suffix commands
      and infix arguments and displays them in a temporary buffer until a
      suffix is invoked.  See *note Diffing::.
 
      This is the same command that ‘d’ is bound to in Magit buffers.  If
      this command is invoked from a file-visiting buffer, then the
      initial value of the option (‘--’) that limits the diff to certain
      file(s) is set to the visited file.
 
 ‘C-c M-g d’     (‘magit-diff-buffer-file’)
 
      This command shows the diff for the file of blob that the current
      buffer visits.
 
  -- User Option: magit-diff-buffer-file-locked
 
      This option controls whether ‘magit-diff-buffer-file’ uses a
      dedicated buffer.  See *note Modes and Buffers::.
 
 ‘C-c M-g L’     (‘magit-log’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds several log suffix commands and
      infix arguments and displays them in a temporary buffer until a
      suffix is invoked.  See *note Logging::.
 
      This is the same command that ‘l’ is bound to in Magit buffers.  If
      this command is invoked from a file-visiting buffer, then the
      initial value of the option (‘--’) that limits the log to certain
      file(s) is set to the visited file.
 
 ‘C-c M-g l’     (‘magit-log-buffer-file’)
 
      This command shows the log for the file of blob that the current
      buffer visits.  Renames are followed when a prefix argument is used
      or when ‘--follow’ is an active log argument.  When the region is
      active, the log is restricted to the selected line range.
 
 ‘C-c M-g t’     (‘magit-log-trace-definition’)
 
      This command shows the log for the definition at point.
 
  -- User Option: magit-log-buffer-file-locked
 
      This option controls whether ‘magit-log-buffer-file’ uses a
      dedicated buffer.  See *note Modes and Buffers::.
 
 ‘C-c M-g B’     (‘magit-blame’)
 
      This transient prefix command binds all blaming suffix commands
      along with the appropriate infix arguments and displays them in a
      temporary buffer until a suffix is invoked.
 
      For more information about this and the following commands also see
      *note Blaming::.
 
    In addition to the ‘magit-blame’ sub-transient, the dispatch
 transient also binds several blaming suffix commands directly.  See
 *note Blaming:: for information about those commands and bindings.
 
 ‘C-c M-g e’     (‘magit-edit-line-commit’)
 
      This command makes the commit editable that added the current line.
 
      With a prefix argument it makes the commit editable that removes
      the line, if any.  The commit is determined using ‘git blame’ and
      made editable using ‘git rebase --interactive’ if it is reachable
      from ‘HEAD’, or by checking out the commit (or a branch that points
      at it) otherwise.
 
 ‘C-c M-g p’     (‘magit-blob-previous’)
 
      Visit the previous blob which modified the current file.
 
    There are a few additional commands that operate on a single file but
 are not enabled in the file transient command by default:
 
  -- Command: magit-file-rename
 
      This command renames a file read from the user.
 
  -- Command: magit-file-delete
 
      This command deletes a file read from the user.
 
  -- Command: magit-file-untrack
 
      This command untracks a file read from the user.
 
  -- Command: magit-file-checkout
 
      This command updates a file in the working tree and index to the
      contents from a revision.  Both the revision and file are read from
      the user.
 
    To enable them invoke the transient (‘C-c M-g’), enter "edit mode"
 (‘C-x l’), set the "transient level" (‘C-x l’ again), enter ‘5’, and
 leave edit mode (‘C-g’).  Also see *note (transient)Enabling and
 Disabling Suffixes::.

 8.10 Minor Mode for Buffers Visiting Blobs
 ==========================================
 
 The ‘magit-blob-mode’ enables certain Magit features in blob-visiting
 buffers.  Such buffers can be created using ‘magit-find-file’ and some
 of the commands mentioned below, which also take care of turning on this
 minor mode.  Currently this mode only establishes a few key bindings,
 but this might be extended.
 
 ‘p’     (‘magit-blob-previous’)
 
      Visit the previous blob which modified the current file.
 
 ‘n’     (‘magit-blob-next’)
 
      Visit the next blob which modified the current file.
 
 ‘q’     (‘magit-kill-this-buffer’)
 
      Kill the current buffer.

 9 Customizing
 *************
 
 Both Git and Emacs are highly customizable.  Magit is both a Git
 porcelain as well as an Emacs package, so it makes sense to customize it
 using both Git variables as well as Emacs options.  However this
 flexibility doesn’t come without problems, including but not limited to
 the following.
 
    • Some Git variables automatically have an effect in Magit without
      requiring any explicit support.  Sometimes that is desirable - in
      other cases, it breaks Magit.
 
      When a certain Git setting breaks Magit but you want to keep using
      that setting on the command line, then that can be accomplished by
      overriding the value for Magit only by appending something like
      ‘("-c" "some.variable=compatible-value")’ to
      ‘magit-git-global-arguments’.
 
    • Certain settings like ‘fetch.prune=true’ are respected by Magit
      commands (because they simply call the respective Git command) but
      their value is not reflected in the respective transient buffers.
      In this case the ‘--prune’ argument in ‘magit-fetch’ might be
      active or inactive, but that doesn’t keep the Git variable from
      being honored by the suffix commands anyway.  So pruning might
      happen despite the ‘--prune’ arguments being displayed in a way
      that seems to indicate that no pruning will happen.
 
    I intend to address these and similar issues in a future release.

 File: magit.info,  Node: Per-Repository Configuration,  Next: Essential Settings,  Up: Customizing
 
 9.1 Per-Repository Configuration
 ================================
 
 Magit can be configured on a per-repository level using both Git
 variables as well as Emacs options.
 
    To set a Git variable for one repository only, simply set it in
 ‘/path/to/repo/.git/config’ instead of ‘$HOME/.gitconfig’ or
 ‘/etc/gitconfig’.  See *note (gitman)git-config::.
 
    Similarly, Emacs options can be set for one repository only by
 editing ‘/path/to/repo/.dir-locals.el’.  See *note (emacs)Directory
 Variables::.  For example to disable automatic refreshes of
 file-visiting buffers in just one huge repository use this:
 
    • ‘/path/to/huge/repo/.dir-locals.el’
 
           ((nil . ((magit-refresh-buffers . nil))))
 
    It might only be costly to insert certain information into Magit
 buffers for repositories that are exceptionally large, in which case you
 can disable the respective section inserters just for that repository:
 
    • ‘/path/to/tag/invested/repo/.dir-locals.el’
 
           ((magit-status-mode
             . ((eval . (magit-disable-section-inserter 'magit-insert-tags-header)))))
 
  -- Function: magit-disable-section-inserter fn
 
      This function disables the section inserter FN in the current
      repository.  It is only intended for use in ‘.dir-locals.el’ and
      ‘.dir-locals-2.el’.
 
    If you want to apply the same settings to several, but not all,
 repositories then keeping the repository-local config files in sync
 would quickly become annoying.  To avoid that you can create config
 files for certain classes of repositories (e.g.  "huge repositories")
 and then include those files in the per-repository config files.  For
 example:
 
    • ‘/path/to/huge/repo/.git/config’
 
           [include]
                   path = /path/to/huge-gitconfig
 
    • ‘/path/to/huge-gitconfig’
 
           [status]
                   showUntrackedFiles = no
 
    • ‘$HOME/.emacs.d/init.el’
 
           (dir-locals-set-class-variables 'huge-git-repository
              '((nil . ((magit-refresh-buffers . nil)))))
 
           (dir-locals-set-directory-class
              "/path/to/huge/repo/" 'huge-git-repository)

 9.2 Essential Settings
 ======================
 
 The next two sections list and discuss several variables that many users
 might want to customize, for safety and/or performance reasons.
 
 * Menu:
 
 * Safety::
 * Performance::
 * Default Bindings::
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Safety,  Next: Performance,  Up: Essential Settings
 
 9.2.1 Safety
 ------------
 
 This section discusses various variables that you might want to change
 (or *not* change) for safety reasons.
 
    Git keeps *committed* changes around long enough for users to recover
 changes they have accidentally been deleted.  It does not do the same
 for *uncommitted* changes in the working tree and not even the index
 (the staging area).  Because Magit makes it so easy to modify
 uncommitted changes, it also makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot
 in the process.  For that reason Magit provides three global modes that
 save *tracked* files to work-in-progress references after or before
 certain actions.  See *note Wip Modes::.
 
    These modes are not enabled by default because of performance
 concerns.  Instead a lot of potentially destructive commands require
 confirmation every time they are used.  In many cases this can be
 disabled by adding a symbol to ‘magit-no-confirm’ (see *note Completion
 and Confirmation::).  If you enable the various wip modes then you
 should add ‘safe-with-wip’ to this list.
 
    Similarly it isn’t necessary to require confirmation before moving a
 file to the system trash - if you trashed a file by mistake then you can
 recover it from there.  Option ‘magit-delete-by-moving-to-trash’
 controls whether the system trash is used, which is the case by default.
 Nevertheless, ‘trash’ isn’t a member of ‘magit-no-confirm’ - you might
 want to change that.
 
    By default buffers visiting files are automatically reverted when the
 visited file changes on disk.  This isn’t as risky as it might seem, but
 to make an informed decision you should see *note Risk of Reverting
 Automatically::.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Performance,  Next: Default Bindings,  Prev: Safety,  Up: Essential Settings
 
 9.2.2 Performance
 -----------------
 
 After Magit has run ‘git’ for side-effects, it also refreshes the
 current Magit buffer and the respective status buffer.  This is
 necessary because otherwise outdated information might be displayed
 without the user noticing.  Magit buffers are updated by recreating
 their content from scratch, which makes updating simpler and less
 error-prone, but also more costly.  Keeping it simple and just
 re-creating everything from scratch is an old design decision and
 departing from that will require major refactoring.
 
    I plan to do that in time for the next major release.  I also intend
 to create logs and diffs asynchronously, which should also help a lot
 but also requires major refactoring.
 
    Meanwhile you can tell Magit to only automatically refresh the
 current Magit buffer, but not the status buffer.  If you do that, then
 the status buffer is only refreshed automatically if it is the current
 buffer.
 
      (setq magit-refresh-status-buffer nil)
 
    You should also check whether any third-party packages have added
 anything to ‘magit-refresh-buffer-hook’, ‘magit-status-refresh-hook’,
 ‘magit-pre-refresh-hook’, and ‘magit-post-refresh-hook’.  If so, then
 check whether those additions impact performance significantly.
 
    Magit can be told to refresh buffers verbosely using ‘M-x
 magit-toggle-verbose-refresh’.  Enabling this helps figuring out which
 sections are bottlenecks.  The additional output can be found in the
 ‘*Messages*’ buffer.
 
    Magit also reverts buffers for visited files located inside the
 current repository when the visited file changes on disk.  That is
 implemented on top of ‘auto-revert-mode’ from the built-in library
 ‘autorevert’.  To figure out whether that impacts performance, check
 whether performance is significantly worse, when many buffers exist
 and/or when some buffers visit files using TRAMP.  If so, then this
 should help.
 
      (setq auto-revert-buffer-list-filter
            'magit-auto-revert-repository-buffer-p)
 
    For alternative approaches see *note Automatic Reverting of
 File-Visiting Buffers::.
 
    If you have enabled any features that are disabled by default, then
 you should check whether they impact performance significantly.  It’s
 likely that they were not enabled by default because it is known that
 they reduce performance at least in large repositories.
 
    If performance is only slow inside certain unusually large
 repositories, then you might want to disable certain features on a
 per-repository or per-repository-class basis only.  See *note
 Per-Repository Configuration::.  For example it takes a long time to
 determine the next and current tag in repository with exceptional
 numbers of tags.  It would therefore be a good idea to disable
 ‘magit-insert-tags-headers’, as explained at the mentioned node.

 * MacOS Performance::
 
 Log Performance
 ...............
 
 When showing logs, Magit limits the number of commits initially shown in
 the hope that this avoids unnecessary work.  When using ‘--graph’ is
 used, then this unfortunately does not have the desired effect for large
 histories.  Junio, Git’s maintainer, said on the git mailing list
 (<http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg232230.html>): "‘--graph’ wants to
 compute the whole history and the max-count only affects the output
 phase after ‘--graph’ does its computation".
 
    In other words, it’s not that Git is slow at outputting the
 differences, or that Magit is slow at parsing the output - the problem
 is that Git first goes outside and has a smoke.
 
    We actually work around this issue by limiting the number of commits
 not only by using ‘-<N>’ but by also using a range.  But unfortunately
 that’s not always possible.
 
    When more than a few thousand commits are shown, then the use of
 ‘--graph’ can slow things down.
 
    Using ‘--color --graph’ is even slower.  Magit uses code that is part
 of Emacs to turn control characters into faces.  That code is pretty
 slow and this is quite noticeable when showing a log with many branches
 and merges.  For that reason ‘--color’ is not enabled by default
 anymore.  Consider leaving it at that.
 
 Diff Performance
 ................
 
 If diffs are slow, then consider turning off some optional diff features
 by setting all or some of the following variables to ‘nil’:
 ‘magit-diff-highlight-indentation’, ‘magit-diff-highlight-trailing’,
 ‘magit-diff-paint-whitespace’, ‘magit-diff-highlight-hunk-body’, and
 ‘magit-diff-refine-hunk’.
 
    When showing a commit instead of some arbitrary diff, then some
 additional information is displayed.  Calculating this information can
 be quite expensive given certain circumstances.  If looking at a commit
 using ‘magit-revision-mode’ takes considerably more time than looking at
 the same commit in ‘magit-diff-mode’, then consider setting
 ‘magit-revision-insert-related-refs’ to ‘nil’.
 
    When you are often confronted with diffs that contain deleted files,
 then you might want to enable the ‘--irreversible-delete’ argument.  If
 you do that then diffs still show that a file was deleted but without
 also showing the complete deleted content of the file.  This argument is
 not available by default, see *note (transient)Enabling and Disabling
 Suffixes::.  Once you have done that you should enable it and save that
 setting, see *note (transient)Saving Values::.  You should do this in
 both the diff (‘d’) and the diff refresh (‘D’) transient popups.
 
 Refs Buffer Performance
 .......................
 
 When refreshing the "references buffer" is slow, then that’s usually
 because several hundred refs are being displayed.  The best way to
 address that is to display fewer refs, obviously.
 
    If you are not, or only mildly, interested in seeing the list of
 tags, then start by not displaying them:
 
      (remove-hook 'magit-refs-sections-hook 'magit-insert-tags)
 
    Then you should also make sure that the listed remote branches
 actually all exist.  You can do so by pruning branches which no longer
 exist using ‘f-pa’.
 
 Committing Performance
 ......................
 
 When you initiate a commit, then Magit by default automatically shows a
 diff of the changes you are about to commit.  For large commits this can
 take a long time, which is especially distracting when you are
 committing large amounts of generated data which you don’t actually
 intend to inspect before committing.  This behavior can be turned off
 using:
 
      (remove-hook 'server-switch-hook 'magit-commit-diff)
 
    Then you can type ‘C-c C-d’ to show the diff when you actually want
 to see it, but only then.  Alternatively you can leave the hook alone
 and just type ‘C-g’ in those cases when it takes too long to generate
 the diff.  If you do that, then you will end up with a broken diff
 buffer, but doing it this way has the advantage that you usually get to
 see the diff, which is useful because it increases the odds that you
 spot potential issues.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Microsoft Windows Performance,  Next: MacOS Performance,  Up: Performance
 
 Microsoft Windows Performance
 .............................
 
 In order to update the status buffer, ‘git’ has to be run a few dozen
 times.  That is problematic on Microsoft Windows, because that operating
 system is exceptionally slow at starting processes.  Sadly this is an
 issue that can only be fixed by Microsoft itself, and they don’t appear
 to be particularly interested in doing so.
 
    Beside the subprocess issue, there are also other Windows-specific
 performance issues.  Some of these have workarounds.  The maintainers of
 "Git for Windows" try to improve performance on Windows.  Always use the
 latest release in order to benefit from the latest performance tweaks.
 Magit too tries to work around some Windows-specific issues.
 
    According to some sources, setting the following Git variables can
 also help.
 
      git config --global core.preloadindex true   # default since v2.1
      git config --global core.fscache true        # default since v2.8
      git config --global gc.auto 256
 
    You should also check whether an anti-virus program is affecting
 performance.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: MacOS Performance,  Prev: Microsoft Windows Performance,  Up: Performance
 
 MacOS Performance
 .................
 
 Before Emacs 26.1 child processes were created using ‘fork’ on macOS.
 That needlessly copied GUI resources, which is expensive.  The result
 was that forking took about 30 times as long on Darwin than on Linux,
 and because Magit starts many ‘git’ processes that made quite a
 difference.
 
    So make sure that you are using at least Emacs 26.1, in which case
 the faster ‘vfork’ will be used.  (The creation of child processes still
 takes about twice as long on Darwin compared to Linux.)  See (1) for
 more information.

 9.2.3 Default Bindings
 ----------------------
 
  -- User Option: magit-define-global-key-bindings
 
      This option controls whether some Magit commands are automatically
      bound in the global keymap even before Magit is used for the first
      time in the current session.
 
      If this variable is non-nil, which it is by default, then the
      following bindings may be added to the global keymap.
 
      ‘C-x g’     ‘magit-status’
      ‘C-x M-g’   ‘magit-dispatch’
      ‘C-c M-g’   ‘magit-file-dispatch’
 
      These bindings may be added when ‘after-init-hook’ is run.  Each
      binding is added if and only if at that time no other key is bound
      to the same command and no other command is bound to the same key.
      In other words we try to avoid adding bindings that are
      unnecessary, as well as bindings that conflict with other bindings.
 
      Adding the above bindings is delayed until ‘after-init-hook’ is
      called to allow users to set the variable anywhere in their init
      file (without having to make sure to do so before ‘magit’ is loaded
      or autoloaded) and to increase the likelihood that all the
      potentially conflicting user bindings have already been added.
 
      To set this variable use either ‘setq’ or the Custom interface.  Do
      not use the function ‘customize-set-variable’ because doing that
      would cause Magit to be loaded immediately when that form is
      evaluated (this differs from ‘custom-set-variables’, which doesn’t
      load the libraries that define the customized variables).
 
      Setting this variable to nil has no effect if that is done after
      the key bindings have already been added.
 
      We recommend that you bind ‘C-c g’ instead of ‘C-c M-g’ to
      ‘magit-file-dispatch’.  The former is a much better binding but the
      ‘C-c <letter>’ namespace is strictly reserved for users; preventing
      Magit from using it by default.
 
           (global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") 'magit-file-dispatch)

 The following sections describe how to use several of Magit’s core
 abstractions to extend Magit itself or implement a separate extension.
 
    A few of the low-level features used by Magit have been factored out
 into separate libraries/packages, so that they can be used by other
 packages, without having to depend on Magit.  See *note

 doesn’t have a manual yet.

 10.1 Calling Git
 ================
 
 Magit provides many specialized functions for calling Git.  All of these
 functions are defined in either ‘magit-git.el’ or ‘magit-process.el’ and
 have one of the prefixes ‘magit-run-’, ‘magit-call-’, ‘magit-start-’, or
 ‘magit-git-’ (which is also used for other things).
 
    All of these functions accept an indefinite number of arguments,
 which are strings that specify command line arguments for Git (or in
 some cases an arbitrary executable).  These arguments are flattened
 before being passed on to the executable; so instead of strings they can
 also be lists of strings and arguments that are ‘nil’ are silently
 dropped.  Some of these functions also require a single mandatory
 argument before these command line arguments.
 
    Roughly speaking, these functions run Git either to get some value or
 for side-effects.  The functions that return a value are useful to
 collect the information necessary to populate a Magit buffer, while the
 others are used to implement Magit commands.
 
    The functions in the value-only group always run synchronously, and
 they never trigger a refresh.  The function in the side-effect group can
 be further divided into subgroups depending on whether they run Git
 synchronously or asynchronously, and depending on whether they trigger a
 refresh when the executable has finished.

 10.1.1 Getting a Value from Git
 -------------------------------
 
 These functions run Git in order to get a value, an exit status, or
 output.  Of course you could also use them to run Git commands that have
 side-effects, but that should be avoided.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-exit-code &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns its exit code.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-success &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns ‘t’ if the exit code is ‘0’,
      ‘nil’ otherwise.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-failure &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns ‘t’ if the exit code is ‘1’,
      ‘nil’ otherwise.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-true &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns ‘t’ if the first line printed by
      git is the string "true", ‘nil’ otherwise.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-false &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns ‘t’ if the first line printed by
      git is the string "false", ‘nil’ otherwise.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-insert &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and inserts its output at point.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-string &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns the first line of its output.
      If there is no output or if it begins with a newline character,
      then this returns ‘nil’.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-lines &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns its output as a list of lines.
      Empty lines anywhere in the output are omitted.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-items &rest args
 
      Executes git with ARGS and returns its null-separated output as a
      list.  Empty items anywhere in the output are omitted.
 
      If the value of option ‘magit-git-debug’ is non-nil and git exits
      with a non-zero exit status, then warn about that in the echo area
      and add a section containing git’s standard error in the current
      repository’s process buffer.
 
  -- Function: magit-process-git destination &rest args
 
      Calls Git synchronously in a separate process, returning its exit
      code.  DESTINATION specifies how to handle the output, like for
      ‘call-process’, except that file handlers are supported.  Enables
      Cygwin’s "noglob" option during the call and ensures unix eol
      conversion.
 
  -- Function: magit-process-file process &optional infile buffer display
           &rest args
 
      Processes files synchronously in a separate process.  Identical to
      ‘process-file’ but temporarily enables Cygwin’s "noglob" option
      during the call and ensures unix eol conversion.
 
    If an error occurs when using one of the above functions, then that
 is usually due to a bug, i.e.  using an argument which is not actually
 supported.  Such errors are usually not reported, but when they occur we
 need to be able to debug them.
 
  -- User Option: magit-git-debug
 
      Whether to report errors that occur when using ‘magit-git-insert’,
      ‘magit-git-string’, ‘magit-git-lines’, or ‘magit-git-items’.  This
      does not actually raise an error.  Instead a message is shown in
      the echo area, and git’s standard error is insert into a new
      section in the current repository’s process buffer.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-str &rest args
 
      This is a variant of ‘magit-git-string’ that ignores the option
      ‘magit-git-debug’.  It is mainly intended to be used while handling
      errors in functions that do respect that option.  Using such a
      function while handing an error could cause yet another error and
      therefore lead to an infinite recursion.  You probably won’t ever
      need to use this function.

 10.1.2 Calling Git for Effect
 -----------------------------
 
 These functions are used to run git to produce some effect.  Most Magit
 commands that actually run git do so by using such a function.
 
    Because we do not need to consume git’s output when using these
 functions, their output is instead logged into a per-repository buffer,
 which can be shown using ‘$’ from a Magit buffer or ‘M-x magit-process’
 elsewhere.
 
    These functions can have an effect in two distinct ways.  Firstly,
 running git may change something, i.e.  create or push a new commit.
 Secondly, that change may require that Magit buffers are refreshed to
 reflect the changed state of the repository.  But refreshing isn’t
 always desirable, so only some of these functions do perform such a
 refresh after git has returned.
 
    Sometimes it is useful to run git asynchronously.  For example, when
 the user has just initiated a push, then there is no reason to make her
 wait until that has completed.  In other cases it makes sense to wait
 for git to complete before letting the user do something else.  For
 example after staging a change it is useful to wait until after the
 refresh because that also automatically moves to the next change.
 
  -- Function: magit-call-git &rest args
 
      Calls git synchronously with ARGS.
 
  -- Function: magit-call-process program &rest args
 
      Calls PROGRAM synchronously with ARGS.
 
  -- Function: magit-run-git &rest args
 
      Calls git synchronously with ARGS and then refreshes.
 
  -- Function: magit-run-git-with-input &rest args
 
      Calls git synchronously with ARGS and sends it the content of the
      current buffer on standard input.
 
      If the current buffer’s ‘default-directory’ is on a remote
      filesystem, this function actually runs git asynchronously.  But
      then it waits for the process to return, so the function itself is
      synchronous.
 
  -- Function: magit-git &rest args
 
      Calls git synchronously with ARGS for side-effects only.  This
      function does not refresh the buffer.
 
  -- Function: magit-git-wash washer &rest args
 
      Execute Git with ARGS, inserting washed output at point.  Actually
      first insert the raw output at point.  If there is no output call
      ‘magit-cancel-section’.  Otherwise temporarily narrow the buffer to
      the inserted text, move to its beginning, and then call function
      WASHER with ARGS as its sole argument.
 
    And now for the asynchronous variants.
 
  -- Function: magit-run-git-async &rest args
 
      Start Git, prepare for refresh, and return the process object.
      ARGS is flattened and then used as arguments to Git.
 
      Display the command line arguments in the echo area.
 
      After Git returns some buffers are refreshed: the buffer that was
      current when this function was called (if it is a Magit buffer and
      still alive), as well as the respective Magit status buffer.
      Unmodified buffers visiting files that are tracked in the current
      repository are reverted if ‘magit-revert-buffers’ is non-nil.
 
  -- Function: magit-run-git-with-editor &rest args
 
      Export GIT_EDITOR and start Git.  Also prepare for refresh and
      return the process object.  ARGS is flattened and then used as
      arguments to Git.
 
      Display the command line arguments in the echo area.
 
      After Git returns some buffers are refreshed: the buffer that was
      current when this function was called (if it is a Magit buffer and
      still alive), as well as the respective Magit status buffer.
 
  -- Function: magit-start-git input &rest args
 
      Start Git, prepare for refresh, and return the process object.
 
      If INPUT is non-nil, it has to be a buffer or the name of an
      existing buffer.  The buffer content becomes the processes standard
      input.
 
      Option ‘magit-git-executable’ specifies the Git executable and
      option ‘magit-git-global-arguments’ specifies constant arguments.
      The remaining arguments ARGS specify arguments to Git.  They are
      flattened before use.
 
      After Git returns, some buffers are refreshed: the buffer that was
      current when this function was called (if it is a Magit buffer and
      still alive), as well as the respective Magit status buffer.
      Unmodified buffers visiting files that are tracked in the current
      repository are reverted if ‘magit-revert-buffers’ is non-nil.
 
  -- Function: magit-start-process &rest args
 
      Start PROGRAM, prepare for refresh, and return the process object.
 
      If optional argument INPUT is non-nil, it has to be a buffer or the
      name of an existing buffer.  The buffer content becomes the
      processes standard input.
 
      The process is started using ‘start-file-process’ and then setup to
      use the sentinel ‘magit-process-sentinel’ and the filter
      ‘magit-process-filter’.  Information required by these functions is
      stored in the process object.  When this function returns the
      process has not started to run yet so it is possible to override
      the sentinel and filter.
 
      After the process returns, ‘magit-process-sentinel’ refreshes the
      buffer that was current when ‘magit-start-process’ was called (if
      it is a Magit buffer and still alive), as well as the respective
      Magit status buffer.  Unmodified buffers visiting files that are
      tracked in the current repository are reverted if
      ‘magit-revert-buffers’ is non-nil.
 
  -- Variable: magit-this-process
 
      The child process which is about to start.  This can be used to
      change the filter and sentinel.
 
  -- Variable: magit-process-raise-error
 
      When this is non-nil, then ‘magit-process-sentinel’ raises an error
      if git exits with a non-zero exit status.  For debugging purposes.

 File: magit.info,  Node: Creating Sections,  Next: Section Selection,  Up: Section Plumbing
 
 10.2.1 Creating Sections
 ------------------------
 
  -- Macro: magit-insert-section &rest args
 
      Insert a section at point.
 
      TYPE is the section type, a symbol.  Many commands that act on the
      current section behave differently depending on that type.  Also if
      a variable ‘magit-TYPE-section-map’ exists, then use that as the
      text-property ‘keymap’ of all text belonging to the section (but
      this may be overwritten in subsections).  TYPE can also have the
      form ‘(eval FORM)’ in which case FORM is evaluated at runtime.
 
      Optional VALUE is the value of the section, usually a string that
      is required when acting on the section.
 
      When optional HIDE is non-nil collapse the section body by default,
      i.e.  when first creating the section, but not when refreshing the
      buffer.  Otherwise, expand it by default.  This can be overwritten
      using ‘magit-section-set-visibility-hook’.  When a section is
      recreated during a refresh, then the visibility of predecessor is
      inherited and HIDE is ignored (but the hook is still honored).
 
      BODY is any number of forms that actually insert the section’s
      heading and body.  Optional NAME, if specified, has to be a symbol,
      which is then bound to the struct of the section being inserted.
 
      Before BODY is evaluated the ‘start’ of the section object is set
      to the value of ‘point’ and after BODY was evaluated its ‘end’ is
      set to the new value of ‘point’; BODY is responsible for moving
      ‘point’ forward.
 
      If it turns out inside BODY that the section is empty, then
      ‘magit-cancel-section’ can be used to abort and remove all traces
      of the partially inserted section.  This can happen when creating a
      section by washing Git’s output and Git didn’t actually output
      anything this time around.
 
  -- Function: magit-insert-heading &rest args
 
      Insert the heading for the section currently being inserted.
 
      This function should only be used inside ‘magit-insert-section’.
 
      When called without any arguments, then just set the ‘content’ slot
      of the object representing the section being inserted to a marker
      at ‘point’.  The section should only contain a single line when
      this function is used like this.
 
      When called with arguments ARGS, which have to be strings, then
      insert those strings at point.  The section should not contain any
      text before this happens and afterwards it should again only
      contain a single line.  If the ‘face’ property is set anywhere
      inside any of these strings, then insert all of them unchanged.
      Otherwise use the ‘magit-section-heading’ face for all inserted
      text.
 
      The ‘content’ property of the section struct is the end of the
      heading (which lasts from ‘start’ to ‘content’) and the beginning
      of the body (which lasts from ‘content’ to ‘end’).  If the value of
      ‘content’ is nil, then the section has no heading and its body
      cannot be collapsed.  If a section does have a heading then its
      height must be exactly one line, including a trailing newline
      character.  This isn’t enforced; you are responsible for getting it
      right.  The only exception is that this function does insert a
      newline character if necessary.
 
  -- Function: magit-cancel-section
 
      Cancel the section currently being inserted.  This exits the
      innermost call to ‘magit-insert-section’ and removes all traces of
      what has already happened inside that call.
 
  -- Function: magit-define-section-jumper sym title &optional value
 
      Define an interactive function to go to section SYM.  TITLE is the
      displayed title of the section.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Section Selection,  Next: Matching Sections,  Prev: Creating Sections,  Up: Section Plumbing
 
 10.2.2 Section Selection
 ------------------------
 
  -- Function: magit-current-section
 
      Return the section at point.
 
  -- Function: magit-region-sections &optional condition multiple
 
      Return a list of the selected sections.
 
      When the region is active and constitutes a valid section
      selection, then return a list of all selected sections.  This is
      the case when the region begins in the heading of a section and
      ends in the heading of the same section or in that of a sibling
      section.  If optional MULTIPLE is non-nil, then the region cannot
      begin and end in the same section.
 
      When the selection is not valid, then return nil.  In this case,
      most commands that can act on the selected sections will instead
      act on the section at point.
 
      When the region looks like it would in any other buffer then the
      selection is invalid.  When the selection is valid then the region
      uses the ‘magit-section-highlight’ face.  This does not apply to
      diffs where things get a bit more complicated, but even here if the
      region looks like it usually does, then that’s not a valid
      selection as far as this function is concerned.
 
      If optional CONDITION is non-nil, then the selection not only has
      to be valid; all selected sections additionally have to match
      CONDITION, or nil is returned.  See ‘magit-section-match’ for the
      forms CONDITION can take.
 
  -- Function: magit-region-values &optional condition multiple
 
      Return a list of the values of the selected sections.
 
      Return the values that themselves would be returned by
      ‘magit-region-sections’ (which see).
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Matching Sections,  Prev: Section Selection,  Up: Section Plumbing
 
 10.2.3 Matching Sections
 ------------------------
 
 ‘M-x magit-describe-section-briefly’     (‘magit-describe-section-briefly’)
 
      Show information about the section at point.  This command is
      intended for debugging purposes.
 
  -- Function: magit-section-ident section
 
      Return an unique identifier for SECTION.  The return value has the
      form ‘((TYPE . VALUE)...)’.
 
  -- Function: magit-get-section ident &optional root
 
      Return the section identified by IDENT.  IDENT has to be a list as
      returned by ‘magit-section-ident’.
 
  -- Function: magit-section-match condition &optional section
 
      Return ‘t’ if SECTION matches CONDITION.  SECTION defaults to the
      section at point.  If SECTION is not specified and there also is no
      section at point, then return ‘nil’.
 
      CONDITION can take the following forms:
         • ‘(CONDITION...)’
 
           matches if any of the CONDITIONs matches.
 
         • ‘[CLASS...]’
 
           matches if the section’s class is the same as the first CLASS
           or a subclass of that; the section’s parent class matches the
           second CLASS; and so on.
 
         • ‘[* CLASS...]’
 
           matches sections that match ‘[CLASS...]’ and also recursively
           all their child sections.
 
         • ‘CLASS’
 
           matches if the section’s class is the same as CLASS or a
           subclass of that; regardless of the classes of the parent
           sections.
 
      Each CLASS should be a class symbol, identifying a class that
      derives from ‘magit-section’.  For backward compatibility CLASS can
      also be a "type symbol".  A section matches such a symbol if the
      value of its ‘type’ slot is ‘eq’.  If a type symbol has an entry in
      ‘magit--section-type-alist’, then a section also matches that type
      if its class is a subclass of the class that corresponds to the
      type as per that alist.
 
      Note that it is not necessary to specify the complete section
      lineage as printed by ‘magit-describe-section-briefly’, unless of
      course you want to be that precise.
 
  -- Function: magit-section-value-if condition &optional section
 
      If the section at point matches CONDITION, then return its value.
 
      If optional SECTION is non-nil then test whether that matches
      instead.  If there is no section at point and SECTION is nil, then
      return nil.  If the section does not match, then return nil.
 
      See ‘magit-section-match’ for the forms CONDITION can take.
 
  -- Function: magit-section-case &rest clauses
 
      Choose among clauses on the type of the section at point.
 
      Each clause looks like (CONDITION BODY...).  The type of the
      section is compared against each CONDITION; the BODY forms of the
      first match are evaluated sequentially and the value of the last
      form is returned.  Inside BODY the symbol ‘it’ is bound to the
      section at point.  If no clause succeeds or if there is no section
      at point return nil.
 
      See ‘magit-section-match’ for the forms CONDITION can take.
      Additionally a CONDITION of t is allowed in the final clause and
      matches if no other CONDITION match, even if there is no section at
      point.
 
  -- Variable: magit-root-section
 
      The root section in the current buffer.  All other sections are
      descendants of this section.  The value of this variable is set by
      ‘magit-insert-section’ and you should never modify it.
 
    For diff related sections a few additional tools exist.
 
  -- Function: magit-diff-type &optional section
 
      Return the diff type of SECTION.
 
      The returned type is one of the symbols ‘staged’, ‘unstaged’,
      ‘committed’, or ‘undefined’.  This type serves a similar purpose as
      the general type common to all sections (which is stored in the
      ‘type’ slot of the corresponding ‘magit-section’ struct) but takes
      additional information into account.  When the SECTION isn’t
      related to diffs and the buffer containing it also isn’t a
      diff-only buffer, then return nil.
 
      Currently the type can also be one of ‘tracked’ and ‘untracked’,
      but these values are not handled explicitly in every place they
      should be.  A possible fix could be to just return nil here.
 
      The section has to be a ‘diff’ or ‘hunk’ section, or a section
      whose children are of type ‘diff’.  If optional SECTION is nil,
      return the diff type for the current section.  In buffers whose
      major mode is ‘magit-diff-mode’ SECTION is ignored and the type is
      determined using other means.  In ‘magit-revision-mode’ buffers the
      type is always ‘committed’.
 
  -- Function: magit-diff-scope &optional section strict
 
      Return the diff scope of SECTION or the selected section(s).
 
      A diff’s "scope" describes what part of a diff is selected, it is a
      symbol, one of ‘region’, ‘hunk’, ‘hunks’, ‘file’, ‘files’, or
      ‘list’.  Do not confuse this with the diff "type", as returned by
      ‘magit-diff-type’.
 
      If optional SECTION is non-nil, then return the scope of that,
      ignoring the sections selected by the region.  Otherwise return the
      scope of the current section, or if the region is active and
      selects a valid group of diff related sections, the type of these
      sections, i.e.  ‘hunks’ or ‘files’.  If SECTION (or if the current
      section that is nil) is a ‘hunk’ section and the region starts and
      ends inside the body of a that section, then the type is ‘region’.
 
      If optional STRICT is non-nil then return nil if the diff type of
      the section at point is ‘untracked’ or the section at point is not
      actually a ‘diff’ but a ‘diffstat’ section.

 10.3 Refreshing Buffers
 =======================
 
 All commands that create a new Magit buffer or change what is being
 displayed in an existing buffer do so by calling ‘magit-mode-setup’.
 Among other things, that function sets the buffer local values of
 ‘default-directory’ (to the top-level of the repository),
 ‘magit-refresh-function’, and ‘magit-refresh-args’.
 
    Buffers are refreshed by calling the function that is the local value
 of ‘magit-refresh-function’ (a function named ‘magit-*-refresh-buffer’,
 where ‘*’ may be something like ‘diff’) with the value of
 ‘magit-refresh-args’ as arguments.
 
  -- Macro: magit-mode-setup buffer switch-func mode refresh-func
           &optional refresh-args
 
      This function displays and selects BUFFER, turns on MODE, and
      refreshes a first time.
 
      This function displays and optionally selects BUFFER by calling
      ‘magit-mode-display-buffer’ with BUFFER, MODE and SWITCH-FUNC as
      arguments.  Then it sets the local value of
      ‘magit-refresh-function’ to REFRESH-FUNC and that of
      ‘magit-refresh-args’ to REFRESH-ARGS.  Finally it creates the
      buffer content by calling REFRESH-FUNC with REFRESH-ARGS as
      arguments.
 
      All arguments are evaluated before switching to BUFFER.
 
  -- Function: magit-mode-display-buffer buffer mode &optional
           switch-function
 
      This function display BUFFER in some window and select it.  BUFFER
      may be a buffer or a string, the name of a buffer.  The buffer is
      returned.
 
      Unless BUFFER is already displayed in the selected frame, store the
      previous window configuration as a buffer local value, so that it
      can later be restored by ‘magit-mode-bury-buffer’.
 
      The buffer is displayed and selected using SWITCH-FUNCTION.  If
      that is ‘nil’ then ‘pop-to-buffer’ is used if the current buffer’s
      major mode derives from ‘magit-mode’.  Otherwise ‘switch-to-buffer’
      is used.
 
  -- Variable: magit-refresh-function
 
      The value of this buffer-local variable is the function used to
      refresh the current buffer.  It is called with ‘magit-refresh-args’
      as arguments.
 
  -- Variable: magit-refresh-args
 
      The list of arguments used by ‘magit-refresh-function’ to refresh
      the current buffer.  ‘magit-refresh-function’ is called with these
      arguments.
 
      The value is usually set using ‘magit-mode-setup’, but in some
      cases it’s also useful to provide commands that can change the
      value.  For example, the ‘magit-diff-refresh’ transient can be used
      to change any of the arguments used to display the diff, without
      having to specify again which differences should be shown, but
      ‘magit-diff-more-context’, ‘magit-diff-less-context’ and
      ‘magit-diff-default-context’ change just the ‘-U<N>’ argument.  In
      both case this is done by changing the value of this variable and
      then calling this ‘magit-refresh-function’.

 * Menu:
 
 * Theming Faces::
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Theming Faces,  Up: Conventions
 
 10.4.1 Theming Faces
 --------------------
 
 The default theme uses blue for local branches, green for remote
 branches, and goldenrod (brownish yellow) for tags.  When creating a new
 theme, you should probably follow that example.  If your theme already
 uses other colors, then stick to that.
 
    In older releases these reference faces used to have a background
 color and a box around them.  The basic default faces no longer do so,
 to make Magit buffers much less noisy, and you should follow that
 example at least with regards to boxes.  (Boxes were used in the past to
 work around a conflict between the highlighting overlay and text
 property backgrounds.  That’s no longer necessary because highlighting
 no longer causes other background colors to disappear.)  Alternatively
 you can keep the background color and/or box, but then have to take
 special care to adjust ‘magit-branch-current’ accordingly.  By default
 it looks mostly like ‘magit-branch-local’, but with a box (by default
 the former is the only face that uses a box, exactly so that it sticks
 out).  If the former also uses a box, then you have to make sure that it
 differs in some other way from the latter.
 
    The most difficult faces to theme are those related to diffs,
 headings, highlighting, and the region.  There are faces that fall into
 all four groups - expect to spend some time getting this right.
 
    The ‘region’ face in the default theme, in both the light and dark
 variants, as well as in many other themes, distributed with Emacs or by
 third-parties, is very ugly.  It is common to use a background color
 that really sticks out, which is ugly but if that were the only problem
 then it would be acceptable.  Unfortunately many themes also set the
 foreground color, which ensures that all text within the region is
 readable.  Without doing that there might be cases where some foreground
 color is too close to the region background color to still be readable.
 But it also means that text within the region loses all syntax
 highlighting.
 
    I consider the work that went into getting the ‘region’ face right to
 be a good indicator for the general quality of a theme.  My
 recommendation for the ‘region’ face is this: use a background color
 slightly different from the background color of the ‘default’ face, and
 do not set the foreground color at all.  So for a light theme you might
 use a light (possibly tinted) gray as the background color of ‘default’
 and a somewhat darker gray for the background of ‘region’.  That should
 usually be enough to not collide with the foreground color of any other
 face.  But if some other faces also set a light gray as background
 color, then you should also make sure it doesn’t collide with those (in
 some cases it might be acceptable though).
 
    Magit only uses the ‘region’ face when the region is "invalid" by its
 own definition.  In a Magit buffer the region is used to either select
 multiple sibling sections, so that commands which support it act on all
 of these sections instead of just the current section, or to select
 lines within a single hunk section.  In all other cases, the section is
 considered invalid and Magit won’t act on it.  But such invalid sections
 happen, either because the user has not moved point enough yet to make
 it valid or because she wants to use a non-magit command to act on the
 region, e.g.  ‘kill-region’.
 
    So using the regular ‘region’ face for invalid sections is a feature.
 It tells the user that Magit won’t be able to act on it.  It’s
 acceptable if that face looks a bit odd and even (but less so) if it
 collides with the background colors of section headings and other things
 that have a background color.
 
    Magit highlights the current section.  If a section has subsections,
 then all of them are highlighted.  This is done using faces that have
 "highlight" in their names.  For most sections,
 ‘magit-section-highlight’ is used for both the body and the heading.
 Like the ‘region’ face, it should only set the background color to
 something similar to that of ‘default’.  The highlight background color
 must be different from both the ‘region’ background color and the
 ‘default’ background color.
 
    For diff related sections Magit uses various faces to highlight
 different parts of the selected section(s).  Note that hunk headings,
 unlike all other section headings, by default have a background color,
 because it is useful to have very visible separators between hunks.
 That face ‘magit-diff-hunk-heading’, should be different from both
 ‘magit-diff-hunk-heading-highlight’ and ‘magit-section-highlight’, as
 well as from ‘magit-diff-context’ and ‘magit-diff-context-highlight’.
 By default we do that by changing the foreground color.  Changing the
 background color would lead to complications, and there are already
 enough we cannot get around.  (Also note that it is generally a good
 idea for section headings to always be bold, but only for sections that
 have subsections).
 
    When there is a valid region selecting diff-related sibling sections,
 i.e.  multiple files or hunks, then the bodies of all these sections use
 the respective highlight faces, but additionally the headings instead
 use one of the faces ‘magit-diff-file-heading-selection’ or
 ‘magit-diff-hunk-heading-selection’.  These faces have to be different
 from the regular highlight variants to provide explicit visual
 indication that the region is active.
 
    When theming diff related faces, start by setting the option
 ‘magit-diff-refine-hunk’ to ‘all’.  You might personally prefer to only
 refine the current hunk or not use hunk refinement at all, but some of
 the users of your theme want all hunks to be refined, so you have to
 cater to that.
 
    (Also turn on ‘magit-diff-highlight-indentation’,
 ‘magit-diff-highlight-trailing’, and ‘magit-diff-paint-whitespace’; and
 insert some whitespace errors into the code you use for testing.)
 
    For e.g.  "added lines" you have to adjust three faces:
 ‘magit-diff-added’, ‘magit-diff-added-highlight’, and
 ‘smerge-refined-added’.  Make sure that the latter works well with both
 of the former, as well as ‘smerge-other’ and ‘diff-added’.  Then do the
 same for the removed lines, context lines, lines added by us, and lines
 added by them.  Also make sure the respective added, removed, and
 context faces use approximately the same saturation for both the
 highlighted and unhighlighted variants.  Also make sure the file and
 diff headings work nicely with context lines (e.g.  make them look
 different).  Line faces should set both the foreground and the
 background color.  For example, for added lines use two different
 greens.
 
    It’s best if the foreground color of both the highlighted and the
 unhighlighted variants are the same, so you will need to have to find a
 color that works well on the highlight and unhighlighted background, the
 refine background, and the highlight context background.  When there is
 an hunk internal region, then the added- and removed-lines background
 color is used only within that region.  Outside the region the
 highlighted context background color is used.  This makes it easier to
 see what is being staged.  With an hunk internal region the hunk heading
 is shown using ‘magit-diff-hunk-heading-selection’, and so are the thin
 lines that are added around the lines that fall within the region.  The
 background color of that has to be distinct enough from the various
 other involved background colors.
 
    Nobody said this would be easy.  If your theme restricts itself to a
 certain set of colors, then you should make an exception here.
 Otherwise it would be impossible to make the diffs look good in each and
 every variation.  Actually you might want to just stick to the default
 definitions for these faces.  You have been warned.  Also please note
 that if you do not get this right, this will in some cases look to users
 like bugs in Magit - so please do it right or not at all.

 A.1.1 How to pronounce Magit?
 -----------------------------
 
 Either ‘mu[m's] git’ or ‘magi{c => t}’ is fine.
 
    The slogan is "It’s Magit!  The magical Git client", so it makes
 sense to pronounce Magit like magic, while taking into account that C
 and T do not sound the same.
 
    The German "Magie" is not pronounced the same as the English "magic",
 so if you speak German then you can use the above rational to justify
 using the former pronunciation; ‘Mag{ie => it}’.
 
    You can also choose to use the former pronunciation just because you
 like it better.
 
    Also see <https://magit.vc/assets/videos/magic.mp4>.  Also see
 <https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/13696>.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: How to show git's output?,  Next: How to install the gitman info manual?,  Prev: How to pronounce Magit?,  Up: FAQ - How to ...?
 
 A.1.2 How to show git’s output?
 -------------------------------
 
 To show the output of recently run git commands, press ‘$’ (or, if that
 isn’t available, ‘M-x magit-process-buffer’).  This will show a buffer
 containing a section per git invocation; as always press ‘TAB’ to expand
 or collapse them.
 
    By default, git’s output is only inserted into the process buffer if
 it is run for side-effects.  When the output is consumed in some way,
 also inserting it into the process buffer would be too expensive.  For
 debugging purposes, it’s possible to do so anyway by setting
 ‘magit-git-debug’ to ‘t’.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: How to install the gitman info manual?,  Next: How to show diffs for gpg-encrypted files?,  Prev: How to show git's output?,  Up: FAQ - How to ...?
 
 A.1.3 How to install the gitman info manual?
 --------------------------------------------
 
 Git’s manpages can be exported as an info manual called ‘gitman’.
 Magit’s own info manual links to nodes in that manual instead of the
 actual manpages because Info doesn’t support linking to manpages.
 
    Unfortunately some distributions do not install the ‘gitman’ manual
 by default and you will have to install a separate documentation package
 to get it.
 
    Magit patches Info adding the ability to visit links to the ‘gitman’
 Info manual by instead viewing the respective manpage.  If you prefer
 that approach, then set the value of ‘magit-view-git-manual-method’ to
 one of the supported packages ‘man’ or ‘woman’, e.g.:
 
      (setq magit-view-git-manual-method 'man)
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: How to show diffs for gpg-encrypted files?,  Next: How does branching and pushing work?,  Prev: How to install the gitman info manual?,  Up: FAQ - How to ...?
 
 A.1.4 How to show diffs for gpg-encrypted files?
 ------------------------------------------------
 
 Git supports showing diffs for encrypted files, but has to be told to do
 so.  Since Magit just uses Git to get the diffs, configuring Git also
 affects the diffs displayed inside Magit.
 
      git config --global diff.gpg.textconv "gpg --no-tty --decrypt"
      echo "*.gpg filter=gpg diff=gpg" > .gitattributes
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: How does branching and pushing work?,  Next: Can Magit be used as ediff-version-control-package?,  Prev: How to show diffs for gpg-encrypted files?,  Up: FAQ - How to ...?
 
 A.1.5 How does branching and pushing work?
 ------------------------------------------
 
 Please see *note Branching:: and
 <http://emacsair.me/2016/01/18/magit-2.4>
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Can Magit be used as ediff-version-control-package?,  Next: Should I disable VC?,  Prev: How does branching and pushing work?,  Up: FAQ - How to ...?
 
 A.1.6 Can Magit be used as ‘ediff-version-control-package’?
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 
 No, it cannot.  For that to work the functions ‘ediff-magit-internal’
 and ‘ediff-magit-merge-internal’ would have to be implemented, and they
 are not.  These two functions are only used by the three commands
 ‘ediff-revision’, ‘ediff-merge-revisions-with-ancestor’, and
 ‘ediff-merge-revisions’.
 
    These commands only delegate the task of populating buffers with
 certain revisions to the "internal" functions.  The equally important
 task of determining which revisions are to be compared/merged is not
 delegated.  Instead this is done without any support whatsoever from the
 version control package/system - meaning that the user has to enter the
 revisions explicitly.  Instead of implementing ‘ediff-magit-internal’ we
 provide ‘magit-ediff-compare’, which handles both tasks like it is 2005.
 
    The other commands ‘ediff-merge-revisions’ and
 ‘ediff-merge-revisions-with-ancestor’ are normally not what you want
 when using a modern version control system like Git.  Instead of letting
 the user resolve only those conflicts which Git could not resolve on its
 own, they throw away all work done by Git and then expect the user to
 manually merge all conflicts, including those that had already been
 resolved.  That made sense back in the days when version control systems
 couldn’t merge (or so I have been told), but not anymore.  Once in a
 blue moon you might actually want to see all conflicts, in which case
 you *can* use these commands, which then use ‘ediff-vc-merge-internal’.
 So we don’t actually have to implement ‘ediff-magit-merge-internal’.
 Instead we provide the more useful command ‘magit-ediff-resolve’ which
 only shows yet-to-be resolved conflicts.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Should I disable VC?,  Prev: Can Magit be used as ediff-version-control-package?,  Up: FAQ - How to ...?
 
 A.1.7 Should I disable VC?
 --------------------------
 
 If you don’t use VC (the built-in version control interface) then you
 might be tempted to disable it, not least because we used to recommend
 that you do that.
 
    We no longer recommend that you disable VC.  Doing so would break
 useful third-party packages (such as ‘diff-hl’), which depend on VC
 being enabled.
 
    If you choose to disable VC anyway, then you can do so by changing
 the value of ‘vc-handled-backends’.

 A.2.1 Magit is slow
 -------------------
 
 See *note Performance::.

 A.2.2 I changed several thousand files at once and now Magit is unusable
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Magit is *currently* not expected to work under such conditions.  It
 sure would be nice if it did, and v2.5 will hopefully be a big step into
 that direction.  But it might take until v3.1 to accomplish fully
 satisfactory performance, because that requires some heavy refactoring.
 
    But for now we recommend you use the command line to complete this
 one commit.  Also see *note Performance::.

 A.2.3 I am having problems committing
 -------------------------------------
 
 That likely means that Magit is having problems finding an appropriate
 emacsclient executable.  See *note (with-editor)Configuring
 With-Editor:: and *note (with-editor)Debugging::.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: I am using MS Windows and cannot push with Magit,  Next: I am using OS X and SOMETHING works in shell but not in Magit,  Prev: I am having problems committing,  Up: FAQ - Issues and Errors
 
 A.2.4 I am using MS Windows and cannot push with Magit
 ------------------------------------------------------
 
 It’s almost certain that Magit is only incidental to this issue.  It is
 much more likely that this is a configuration issue, even if you can
 push on the command line.
 
    Detailed setup instructions can be found at
 <https://github.com/magit/magit/wiki/Pushing-with-Magit-from-Windows>.

 A.2.5 I am using OS X and SOMETHING works in shell, but not in Magit
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This usually occurs because Emacs doesn’t have the same environment
 variables as your shell.  Try installing and configuring
 <https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell>.  By default it
 synchronizes ‘$PATH’, which helps Magit find the same ‘git’ as the one
 you are using on the shell.
 
    If SOMETHING is "passphrase caching with gpg-agent for commit and/or
 tag signing", then you’ll also need to synchronize ‘$GPG_AGENT_INFO’.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Expanding a file to show the diff causes it to disappear,  Next: Point is wrong in the COMMIT_EDITMSG buffer,  Prev: I am using OS X and SOMETHING works in shell but not in Magit,  Up: FAQ - Issues and Errors
 
 A.2.6 Expanding a file to show the diff causes it to disappear
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This is probably caused by a change of a ‘diff.*’ Git variable.  You
 probably set that variable for a reason, and should therefore only undo
 that setting in Magit by customizing ‘magit-git-global-arguments’.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: Point is wrong in the COMMIT_EDITMSG buffer,  Next: The mode-line information isn't always up-to-date,  Prev: Expanding a file to show the diff causes it to disappear,  Up: FAQ - Issues and Errors
 
 A.2.7 Point is wrong in the ‘COMMIT_EDITMSG’ buffer
 ---------------------------------------------------
 
 Neither Magit nor ‘git-commit‘ fiddle with point in the buffer used to
 write commit messages, so something else must be doing it.
 
    You have probably globally enabled a mode which does restore point in
 file-visiting buffers.  It might be a bit surprising, but when you write
 a commit message, then you are actually editing a file.
 
    So you have to figure out which package is doing.  ‘saveplace’,
 ‘pointback’, and ‘session’ are likely candidates.  These snippets might
 help:
 
      (setq session-name-disable-regexp "\\(?:\\`'\\.git/[A-Z_]+\\'\\)")
 
      (with-eval-after-load 'pointback
        (lambda ()
          (when (or git-commit-mode git-rebase-mode)
            (pointback-mode -1))))
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: The mode-line information isn't always up-to-date,  Next: A branch and tag sharing the same name breaks SOMETHING,  Prev: Point is wrong in the COMMIT_EDITMSG buffer,  Up: FAQ - Issues and Errors
 
 A.2.8 The mode-line information isn’t always up-to-date
 -------------------------------------------------------
 
 Magit is not responsible for the version control information that is
 being displayed in the mode-line and looks something like ‘Git-master’.
 The built-in "Version Control" package, also known as "VC", updates that
 information, and can be told to do so more often:
 
      (setq auto-revert-check-vc-info t)
 
    But doing so isn’t good for performance.  For more (overly
 optimistic) information see *note (emacs)VC Mode Line::.
 
    If you don’t really care about seeing this information in the
 mode-line, but just don’t want to see _incorrect_ information, then
 consider simply not displaying it in the mode-line:
 
      (setq-default mode-line-format
                    (delete '(vc-mode vc-mode) mode-line-format))

 A.2.9 A branch and tag sharing the same name breaks SOMETHING
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Or more generally, ambiguous refnames break SOMETHING.
 
    Magit assumes that refs are named non-ambiguously across the
 "refs/heads/", "refs/tags/", and "refs/remotes/" namespaces (i.e., all
 the names remain unique when those prefixes are stripped).  We consider
 ambiguous refnames unsupported and recommend that you use a
 non-ambiguous naming scheme.  However, if you do work with a repository
 that has ambiguous refnames, please report any issues you encounter so
 that we can investigate whether there is a simple fix.

 A.2.10 My Git hooks work on the command-line but not inside Magit
 -----------------------------------------------------------------
 
 When Magit calls ‘git’ it adds a few global arguments including
 ‘--literal-pathspecs’ and the ‘git’ process started by Magit then passes
 that setting on to other ‘git’ process it starts itself.  It does so by
 setting the environment variable ‘GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS’, not by calling
 subprocesses with the ‘--literal-pathspecs’ argument.  You can therefore
 override this setting in hook scripts using ‘unset
 GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS’.

 A.2.11 ‘git-commit-mode’ isn’t used when committing from the command-line
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 The reason for this is that ‘git-commit.el’ has not been loaded yet
 and/or that the server has not been started yet.  These things have
 always already been taken care of when you commit from Magit because in
 order to do so, Magit has to be loaded and doing that involves loading
 ‘git-commit’ and starting the server.
 
    If you want to commit from the command-line, then you have to take
 care of these things yourself.  Your ‘init.el’ file should contain:
 
      (require 'git-commit)
      (server-mode)
 
    Instead of ‘(require ’git-commit)‘ you may also use:
 
      (load "/path/to/magit-autoloads.el")
 
    You might want to do that because loading ‘git-commit’ causes large
 parts of Magit to be loaded.
 
    There are also some variations of ‘(server-mode)’ that you might want
 to try.  Personally I use:
 
      (use-package server
        :config (or (server-running-p) (server-mode)))
 
    Now you can use:
 
      $ emacs&
      $ EDITOR=emacsclient git commit
 
    However you cannot use:
 
      $ killall emacs
      $ EDITOR="emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs" git commit
 
    This will actually end up using ‘emacs’, not ‘emacsclient’.  If you
 do this, then you can still edit the commit message but
 ‘git-commit-mode’ won’t be used and you have to exit ‘emacs’ to finish
 the process.
 
    Tautology ahead.  If you want to be able to use ‘emacsclient’ to
 connect to a running ‘emacs’ instance, even though no ‘emacs’ instance
 is running, then you cannot use ‘emacsclient’ directly.
 
    Instead you have to create a script that does something like this:
 
    Try to use ‘emacsclient’ (without using ‘--alternate-editor’).  If
 that succeeds, do nothing else.  Otherwise start ‘emacs &’ (and
 ‘init.el’ must call ‘server-start’) and try to use ‘emacsclient’ again.

 A.2.12 Point ends up inside invisible text when jumping to a file-visiting buffer
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This can happen when you type ‘RET’ on a hunk to visit the respective
 file at the respective position.  One solution to this problem is to use
 ‘global-reveal-mode’.  It makes sure that text around point is always
 visible.  If that is too drastic for your taste, then you may instead
 use ‘magit-diff-visit-file-hook’ to reveal the text, possibly using
 ‘reveal-post-command’ or for Org buffers ‘org-reveal’.

 A.2.13 I am unable to stage when using Tramp from MS Windows
 ------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Magit may be unable to stage (or otherwise apply) individual hunks when
 you are connected to remote machine using Tramp and the local machine
 uses MS Windows.
 
    There appears to be a problem with ‘process-send-eof’ in this
 scenario, as mentioned at the end of ‘tramp-tests.el’.  I have contacted
 the Tramp maintainer about this.  For now this unfortunately means that
 it just doesn’t work and we cannot do anything about it.  If you have
 more information, then please comment on
 <https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/3624>.
 
 
 File: magit.info,  Node: I am no longer able to save popup defaults,  Prev: I am unable to stage when using Tramp from MS Windows,  Up: FAQ - Issues and Errors
 
 A.2.14 I am no longer able to save popup defaults
 -------------------------------------------------
 
 Magit used to use Magit-Popup to implement the transient popup menus.
 Now it used Transient instead, which is Magit-Popup’s successor.
 
    In the older Magit-Popup menus, it was possible to save user settings
 (e.g.  setting the gpg signing key for commits) by using ‘C-c C-c’ in
 the popup buffer.  This would dismiss the popup, but save the settings
 as the defaults for future popups.
 
    When switching to Transient menus, this functionality is now
 available via ‘C-x C-s’ instead; the ‘C-x’ prefix has other options as
 well when using Transient, which will be displayed when it is typed.
 See <https://magit.vc/manual/transient/Saving-Values.html#Saving-Values>
 for more details.

 B Debugging Tools
 *****************
 
 Magit and its dependencies provide a few debugging tools, and we
 appreciate it very much if you use those tools before reporting an
 issue.  Please include all relevant output when reporting an issue.
 
 ‘M-x magit-version’     (‘magit-version’)
 
      This command shows the currently used versions of Magit, Git, and
      Emacs in the echo area.  Non-interactively this just returns the
      Magit version.
 
 ‘M-x magit-emacs-Q-command’     (‘magit-emacs-Q-command’)
 
      This command shows a debugging shell command in the echo area and
      adds it to the kill ring.  Paste that command into a shell and run
      it.
 
      This shell command starts ‘emacs’ with only ‘magit’ and its
      dependencies loaded.  Neither your configuration nor other
      installed packages are loaded.  This makes it easier to determine
      whether some issue lays with Magit or something else.
 
      If you run Magit from its Git repository, then you should be able
      to use ‘make emacs-Q’ instead of the output of this command.
 
 ‘M-x magit-toggle-verbose-refresh’     (‘magit-toggle-verbose-refresh’)
 
      This command toggles whether Magit refreshes buffers verbosely.
      Enabling this helps figuring out which sections are bottlenecks.
      The additional output can be found in the ‘*Messages*’ buffer.
 
 ‘M-x magit-debug-git-executable’     (‘magit-debug-git-executable’)
 
      This command displays a buffer containing information about the
      available and used ‘git’ executable(s), and can be useful when
      investigating ‘exec-path’ issues.
 
      Also see *note Git Executable::.
 
 ‘M-x with-editor-debug’     (‘with-editor-debug’)
 
      This command displays a buffer containing information about the
      available and used ‘emacsclient’ executable(s), and can be useful
      when investigating why Magit (or rather ‘with-editor’) cannot find
      an appropriate ‘emacsclient’ executable.
 
      Also see *note (with-editor)Debugging::.
 
    Please also see the *note FAQ::.
