pull: accept --rebase=merges to recreate the branch topology
Similar to the `preserve` mode simply passing the `--preserve-merges`
option to the `rebase` command, the `merges` mode simply passes the
`--rebase-merges` option.
This will allow users to conveniently rebase non-trivial commit
topologies when pulling new commits, without flattening them.

The `git merge` command does not allow merging commits that are already
reachable from HEAD: `git merge HEAD^`, for example, will report that we
are already up to date and not change a thing.
In an interactive rebase, such a merge could occur previously, e.g. when
competing (or slightly modified) versions of a patch series were applied
upstream, and the user had to `git rebase --skip` all of the local
commits, and the topic branch becomes "empty" as a consequence.
Let's teach the todo command `merge` to behave the same as `git merge`.
Seeing as it requires some low-level trickery to create such merges with
Git's commands in the first place, we do not even have to bother to
introduce an option to force `merge` to create such merge commits.

In the previous patches, we implemented the basic functionality of the
`git rebase -i --rebase-merges` command, in particular the `merge`
command to create merge commits in the sequencer.
The interactive rebase is a lot more these days, though, than a simple
cherry-pick in a loop. For example, it calls the post-rewrite hook (if
any) after rebasing with a mapping of the old->new commits.
This patch implements the post-rewrite handling for the `merge` command
we just introduced. The other commands that were added recently (`label`
and `reset`) do not create new commits, therefore post-rewrite hooks do
not need to handle them.

Once upon a time, this here developer thought: wouldn't it be nice if,
say, Git for Windows' patches on top of core Git could be represented as
a thicket of branches, and be rebased on top of core Git in order to
maintain a cherry-pick'able set of patch series?
The original attempt to answer this was: git rebase --preserve-merges.
However, that experiment was never intended as an interactive option,
and it only piggy-backed on git rebase --interactive because that
command's implementation looked already very, very familiar: it was
designed by the same person who designed --preserve-merges: yours truly.
Some time later, some other developer (I am looking at you, Andreas!
;-)) decided that it would be a good idea to allow --preserve-merges to
be combined with --interactive (with caveats!) and the Git maintainer
(well, the interim Git maintainer during Junio's absence, that is)
agreed, and that is when the glamor of the --preserve-merges design
started to fall apart rather quickly and unglamorously.
The reason? In --preserve-merges mode, the parents of a merge commit (or
for that matter, of *any* commit) were not stated explicitly, but were
*implied* by the commit name passed to the `pick` command.
This made it impossible, for example, to reorder commits. Not to mention
to move commits between branches or, deity forbid, to split topic branches
into two.
Alas, these shortcomings also prevented that mode (whose original
purpose was to serve Git for Windows' needs, with the additional hope
that it may be useful to others, too) from serving Git for Windows'
needs.
Five years later, when it became really untenable to have one unwieldy,
big hodge-podge patch series of partly related, partly unrelated patches
in Git for Windows that was rebased onto core Git's tags from time to
time (earning the undeserved wrath of the developer of the ill-fated
git-remote-hg series that first obsoleted Git for Windows' competing
approach, only to be abandoned without maintainer later) was really
untenable, the "Git garden shears" were born [*1*/*2*]: a script,
piggy-backing on top of the interactive rebase, that would first
determine the branch topology of the patches to be rebased, create a
pseudo todo list for further editing, transform the result into a real
todo list (making heavy use of the `exec` command to "implement" the
missing todo list commands) and finally recreate the patch series on
top of the new base commit.
That was in 2013. And it took about three weeks to come up with the
design and implement it as an out-of-tree script. Needless to say, the
implementation needed quite a few years to stabilize, all the while the
design itself proved itself sound.
With this patch, the goodness of the Git garden shears comes to `git
rebase -i` itself. Passing the `--rebase-merges` option will generate
a todo list that can be understood readily, and where it is obvious
how to reorder commits. New branches can be introduced by inserting
`label` commands and calling `merge <label>`. And once this mode will
have become stable and universally accepted, we can deprecate the design
mistake that was `--preserve-merges`.

rebase-helper --make-script: introduce a flag to rebase merges
The sequencer just learned new commands intended to recreate branch
structure (similar in spirit to --preserve-merges, but with a
substantially less-broken design).
Let's allow the rebase--helper to generate todo lists making use of
these commands, triggered by the new --rebase-merges option. For a
commit topology like this (where the HEAD points to C):
- A - B - C
\ /
D
the generated todo list would look like this:
# branch D
pick 0123 A
label branch-point
pick 1234 D
label D
reset branch-point
pick 2345 B
merge -C 3456 D # C
To keep things simple, we first only implement support for merge commits
with exactly two parents, leaving support for octopus merges to a later
patch series.
All merge-rebasing todo lists start with a hard-coded `label onto` line.
This makes it convenient to refer later on to the revision onto which
everything is rebased, e.g. as starting point for branches other than
the very first one.

sequencer: fast-forward `merge` commands, if possible
Just like with regular `pick` commands, if we are trying to rebase a
merge commit, we now test whether the parents of said commit match HEAD
and the commits to be merged, and fast-forward if possible.
This is not only faster, but also avoids unnecessary proliferation of
new objects.

This patch is part of the effort to reimplement `--preserve-merges` with
a substantially improved design, a design that has been developed in the
Git for Windows project to maintain the dozens of Windows-specific patch
series on top of upstream Git.
The previous patch implemented the `label` and `reset` commands to label
commits and to reset to labeled commits. This patch adds the `merge`
command, with the following syntax:
merge [-C <commit>] <rev> # <oneline>
The <commit> parameter in this instance is the *original* merge commit,
whose author and message will be used for the merge commit that is about
to be created.
The <rev> parameter refers to the (possibly rewritten) revision to
merge. Let's see an example of a todo list (the initial `label onto`
command is an auto-generated convenience so that the label `onto` can be
used to refer to the revision onto which we rebase):
reset onto
pick cafecafe And now for something completely different
merge -C baaabaaa abc # Merge the branch 'abc' into master
To edit the merge commit's message (a "reword" for merges, if you will),
use `-c` (lower-case) instead of `-C`; this convention was borrowed from
`git commit` that also supports `-c` and `-C` with similar meanings.
To create *new* merges, i.e. without copying the commit message from an
existing commit, simply omit the `-C <commit>` parameter (which will
open an editor for the merge message):
merge abc
This comes in handy when splitting a branch into two or more branches.
Note: this patch only adds support for recursive merges, to keep things
simple. Support for octopus merges will be added later in a separate
patch series, support for merges using strategies other than the
recursive merge is left for the future.

sequencer: introduce new commands to reset the revision
In the upcoming commits, we will teach the sequencer to rebase merges.
This will be done in a very different way from the unfortunate design of
`git rebase --preserve-merges` (which does not allow for reordering
commits, or changing the branch topology).
The main idea is to introduce new todo list commands, to support
labeling the current revision with a given name, resetting the current
revision to a previous state, and merging labeled revisions.
This idea was developed in Git for Windows' Git garden shears (that are
used to maintain Git for Windows' "thicket of branches" on top of
upstream Git), and this patch is part of the effort to make it available
to a wider audience, as well as to make the entire process more robust
(by implementing it in a safe and portable language rather than a Unix
shell script).
This commit implements the commands to label, and to reset to, given
revisions. The syntax is:
label <name>
reset <name>
Internally, the `label <name>` command creates the ref
`refs/rewritten/<name>`. This makes it possible to work with the labeled
revisions interactively, or in a scripted fashion (e.g. via the todo
list command `exec`).
These temporary refs are removed upon sequencer_remove_state(), so that
even a `git rebase --abort` cleans them up.
We disallow '#' as label because that character will be used as separator
in the upcoming `merge` command.
Later in this patch series, we will mark the `refs/rewritten/` refs as
worktree-local, to allow for interactive rebases to be run in parallel in
worktrees linked to the same repository.
As typos happen, a failed `label` or `reset` command will be rescheduled
immediately. As the previous code to reschedule a command is embedded
deeply in the pick/fixup/squash code path, we simply duplicate the few
lines. This will allow us to extend the new code path easily for the
upcoming `merge` command.

sequencer: make rearrange_squash() a bit more obvious
There are some commands that have to be skipped from rearranging by virtue
of not handling any commits.
However, the logic was not quite obvious: it skipped commands based on
their position in the enum todo_command.
Instead, let's make it explicit that we skip all commands that do not
handle any commit. With one exception: the `drop` command, because it,
well, drops the commit and is therefore not eligible to rearranging.
Note: this is a bit academic at the moment because the only time we call
`rearrange_squash()` is directly after generating the todo list, when we
have nothing but `pick` commands anyway.
However, the upcoming `merge` command *will* want to be handled by that
function, and it *can* handle commits.

rather than:

rev-parse --verify --foo: command returned error: 128
To implement that let's use Getopt::Long for option parsing
instead of the current manual and sloppy parsing. This should
save some code and make option parsing simpler, tighter and
safer.
This will avoid something like 'foo--sort-by=regression' to
be handled as if '--sort-by=regression' had been used, for
example.
As Getopt::Long eats '--' at the end of options, this changes
a bit the way '--' is handled as we can now have '--' both
after the options and before the scripts.

cache.h: allow oid_object_info to handle arbitrary repositories
This involves also adapting oid_object_info_extended and a some
internal functions that are used to implement these. It all has to
happen in one patch, because of a single recursive chain of calls visits
all these functions.
oid_object_info_extended is also used in partial clones, which allow
fetching missing objects. As this series will not add the repository
struct to the transport code and fetch_object(), add a TODO note and
omit fetching if a user tries to use a partial clone in a repository
other than the_repository.
Among the functions modified to handle arbitrary repositories,
unpack_entry() is one of them. Note that it still references the globals
"delta_base_cache" and "delta_base_cached", but those are safe to be
referenced (the former is indexed partly by "struct packed_git *", which
is repo-specific, and the latter is only used to limit the size of the
former as an optimization).

gettext: avoid initialization if the locale dir is not present
The runtime of a simple `git.exe version` call on Windows is currently
dominated by the gettext setup, adding a whopping ~150ms to the ~210ms
total.
Given that this cost is added to each and every git.exe invocation goes
through common-main's invocation of git_setup_gettext(), and given that
scripts have to call git.exe dozens, if not hundreds, of times, this is
a substantial performance penalty.
This is particularly pointless when considering that Git for Windows
ships without localization (to keep the installer's size to a bearable
~34MB): all that time setting up gettext is for naught.
To be clear, Git for Windows *needs* to be compiled with localization,
for the following reasons:
- to allow users to copy add-on localization in case they want it, and
- to fix the nasty error message
BUG: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)
by using libgettext's override of vsnprintf() that does not share the
behavior of msvcrt.dll's version of vsnprintf().
So let's be smart about it and skip setting up gettext if the locale
directory is not even present.
Since localization might be missing for not-yet-supported locales, this
will not break anything.

previous line differently. Traditionally, we use CYAN for lines that
are less interesting than others (e.g. hunk header), so go with that.
The command line option '--color-lines' will trigger the coloring of

INSTLIBDIR=... something ...
sed -e 's=@@INSTLIBDIR@@='$$INSTLIBDIR'=g' $< > $@
Because $INSTLIBDIR is not surrounded by double quotes, the shell
splits it at each space, causing errors if INSTLIBDIR contains an $IFS
character:
Junio noticed that this variable is not quoted correctly when it is
passed to sed. As a shell-quoted string, it should be inside
single-quotes like $(perllibdir_relative_SQ), not outside them like
$INSTLIBDIR.
In fact, this substitution variable is not used. Simplify by removing
it.

walker: drop fields of `struct walker` which are always 1
After the previous commit, both users of `struct walker` set `get_tree`,
`get_history` and `get_all` to 1. Drop those fields and simplify the
walker implementation accordingly.
Let's hope that any out-of-tree users will not mind this change. They
should notice that the compilation fails as they try to set these
fields. (If they do not set them, note that `get_http_walker()` leaves
them undefined, so the behavior will have been undefined all the time.)

This is a follow-up to a6c786fce8 (Mark http-fetch without -a as
deprecated, 2011-08-23). For more than six years, we have been warning
when `-a` is not provided, and the documentation has been saying that
`-a` will become the default.
It is a bit unclear what "default" means here. There is no such thing as
`http-fetch --no-a`. But according to my searches, no-one has been
asking on the mailing list how they should silence the warning and
prepare for overriding the flipped default. So let's assume that
everybody is happy with `-a`. They should be, since not using it may
break the repo in such a way that Git itself is unable to fix it.
Always behave as if `-a` was given. Since `-a` implies `-c` (get commit
objects) and `-t` (get trees), all three options are now unnecessary.
Document all of these as historical artefacts that have no effect.
Leave no-op code for handling these options in http-fetch.c. The
options-handling is currently rather loose. If someone tightens it, we
will not want these ignored options to accidentally turn into hard
errors.
Since `-a` was the only safe and sane usage and we have been pushing
people towards it for a long time, refrain from warning when it is used
"unnecessarily" now. Similarly, do not add anything scary-looking to the
man-page about how it will be removed in the future. We can always do so
later. (It is not like we are in desperate need of freeing up
one-letter arguments.)

This is an attempt to resolve an issue I experience with people that are
new to Git -- especially colleagues in a team setting -- where they miss
that their push to a remote location failed because the failure and
success both return a block of white text.
An example is if I push something to a remote repository and then a
colleague attempts to push to the same remote repository and the push
fails because it requires them to pull first, but they don't notice
because a success and failure both return a block of white text. They
then continue about their business, thinking it has been successfully
pushed.
This patch colorizes the errors and hints (in red and yellow,
respectively) so whenever there is a failure when pushing to a remote
repository that fails, it is more noticeable.

So far, we only ever asked whether stdout wants to be colorful. In the
upcoming patches, we will want to make push errors more prominent, which
are printed to stderr, though.
So let's refactor the want_color() function into a want_color_fd()
function (which expects to be called with fd == 1 or fd == 2 for stdout
and stderr, respectively), and then define the macro `want_color()` to
use the want_color_fd() function.
And then also add a macro `want_color_stderr()`, for convenience and
for documentation.

config.c: introduce 'git_config_color' to parse ANSI colors
In preparation for adding `--type=color` to the `git-config(1)` builtin,
let's introduce a color parsing utility, `git_config_color` in a similar
fashion to `git_config_<type>`.
Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to
fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist.
In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure
that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the
configuration.
For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to
`$fallback`, the following is required:
$ git config core.foo || echo "$fallback"
This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express
`$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes.
This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal
type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration
variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their
type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values
are correctly formatted.
This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually
replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing
`--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a
`--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the
`--default` flag introduced in this commit.
Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in
the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers
without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the
configuration.
Specifically, this means that the following will work:
The former is because the function is not prepared to see arg==NULL
(for "--no-expire", it is a norm; "--expire" at the end of the
command line could be made to pass NULL, if it is told that the
argument is optional, but we don't so we do not have to worry about
that case).
The latter is because it does not check the value returned from the
underlying parse_expiry_date().
This seems to be a recent regression introduced while we attempted
to avoid spewing the entire usage message when given a correct
option but with an invalid value at 3bb0923f ("parse-options: do not
show usage upon invalid option value", 2018-03-22). Before that, we
didn't fail silently but showed a full usage help (which arguably is
not all that better).
Also catch this error early when "git gc --prune=<expiration>" is
misspelled by doing a dummy parsing before the main body of "gc"
that is time consuming even begins. Otherwise, we'd spend time to
pack objects and then later have "git prune" first notice the error.
Aborting "gc" in the middle that way is not harmful but is ugly and
can be avoided.

fast-export: fix regression skipping some merge-commits
7199203937 (object_array: add and use `object_array_pop()`, 2017-09-23)
noted that the pattern `object = array.objects[--array.nr].item` could
be abstracted as `object = object_array_pop(&array)`.
Unfortunately, one of the conversions was horribly wrong. Between
grabbing the last object (i.e., peeking at it) and decreasing the object
count, the original code would sometimes return early. The updated code
on the other hand, will always pop the last element, then maybe do the
early return without doing anything with the object.
The end result is that merge commits where all the parents have still
not been exported will simply be dropped, meaning that they will be
completely missing from the exported data.
Re-add a commit when it is not yet time to handle it. An alternative
that was considered was to peek-then-pop. That carries some risk with it
since the peeking and popping need to act on the same object, in a
concerted fashion.
Add a test that would have caught this.

merge-recursive: introduce new functions to handle rename logic
The amount of logic in merge_trees() relative to renames was just a few
lines, but split it out into new handle_renames() and cleanup_renames()
functions to prepare for additional logic to be added to each. No code or
logic changes, just a new place to put stuff for when the rename detection
gains additional checks.
Note that process_renames() records pointers to various information (such
as diff_filepairs) into rename_conflict_info structs. Even though the
rename string_lists are not directly used once handle_renames() completes,
we should not immediately free the lists at the end of that function
because they store the information referenced in the rename_conflict_info,
which is used later in process_entry(). Thus the reason for a separate
cleanup_renames().

builtin/config.c: support `--type=<type>` as preferred alias for `--<type>`
`git config` has long allowed the ability for callers to provide a 'type
specifier', which instructs `git config` to (1) ensure that incoming
values can be interpreted as that type, and (2) that outgoing values are
canonicalized under that type.
In another series, we propose to extend this functionality with
`--type=color` and `--default` to replace `--get-color`.
However, we traditionally use `--color` to mean "colorize this output",
instead of "this value should be treated as a color".
Currently, `git config` does not support this kind of colorization, but
we should be careful to avoid squatting on this option too soon, so that
`git config` can support `--color` (in the traditional sense) in the
future, if that is desired.
In this patch, we support `--type=<int|bool|bool-or-int|...>` in
addition to `--int`, `--bool`, and etc. This allows the aforementioned
upcoming patch to support querying a color value with a default via
`--type=color --default=...`, without squandering `--color`.
We retain the historic behavior of complaining when multiple,
legacy-style `--<type>` flags are given, as well as extend this to
conflicting new-style `--type=<type>` flags. `--int --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does not complain, but `--bool --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does.
