git stash push uses other git commands internally. Currently it only
passes the -q flag to those if the -q flag is passed to git stash. when
using 'git stash push -p -q --no-keep-index', it doesn't even pass the
flag on to the internal reset at all.
It really is enough for the user to know that the stash is created,
without bothering them with the internal details of what's happening.
Always pass the -q flag to the internal git clean and git reset

We may take the path to a bundle file as an argument, and
need to adjust the filename based on the prefix we
discovered while setting up the git directory. We do so
manually into a fixed-size buffer, but using
prefix_filename() is the normal way.
Besides being more concise, there are two subtle
improvements:
1. The original inserted a "/" between the two paths, even
though the "prefix" argument always has the "/"
appended. That means that:
cd subdir && git bundle verify ../foo.bundle
was looking at (and reporting) subdir//../foo.bundle.
Harmless, but ugly. Using prefix_filename() gets this
right.
2. The original checked for an absolute path by looking
for a leading '/'. It should have been using
is_absolute_path(), which also covers more cases on
Windows (backslashes and dos drive prefixes).
But it's easier still to just pass the name to
prefix_filename(), which handles this case
automatically.
Note that we'll just leak the resulting buffer in the name
of simplicity, since it needs to last through the duration
of the program anyway.

The prefix_filename function used to do an early return when

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).
Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).
The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.
I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).
In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

hash-object: fix buffer reuse with --path in a subdirectory
The hash-object command uses prefix_filename() without
duplicating its return value. Since that function returns a
static buffer, the value is overwritten by subsequent calls.
This can cause incorrect results when we use --path along
with hashing a file by its relative path, both of which need
to call prefix_filename(). We overwrite the filename
computed for --path, effectively ignoring it.
We can fix this by calling xstrdup on the return value. Note
that we don't bother freeing the "vpath" instance, as it
remains valid until the program exit.

pickaxe: fix segfault with '-S<...> --pickaxe-regex'
'git {log,diff,...} -S<...> --pickaxe-regex' can segfault as a result
of out-of-bounds memory reads.
diffcore-pickaxe.c:contains() looks for all matches of the given regex
in a buffer in a loop, advancing the buffer pointer to the end of the
last match in each iteration. When we switched to REG_STARTEND in b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21), we started passing
the size of that buffer to the regexp engine, too. Unfortunately,
this buffer size is never updated on subsequent iterations, and as the
buffer pointer advances on each iteration, this "bufptr+bufsize"
points past the end of the buffer. This results in segmentation
fault, if that memory can't be accessed. In case of 'git log' it can
also result in erroneously listed commits, if the memory past the end
of buffer is accessible and happens to contain data matching the
regex.
Reduce the buffer size on each iteration as the buffer pointer is
advanced, thus maintaining the correct end of buffer location.
Furthermore, make sure that the buffer pointer is not dereferenced in
the control flow statements when we already reached the end of the
buffer.
The new test is flaky, I've never seen it fail on my Linux box even
without the fix, but this is expected according to db5dfa3 (regex:
-G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails,
2016-09-21). However, it did fail on Travis CI with the first (and
incomplete) version of the fix, and based on that commit message I
would expect the new test without the fix to fail most of the time on

The original implementation of grep_submodule() used the "struct

was to be printed at a later point in time. This differs from how both
grep_file() and grep_sha1() handle their output. This patch eliminates

Additionally the switch '--recurse' is removed from the Documentation as
well as marked hidden in the options array, to streamline the options
for submodules. A simple '--recurse' doesn't convey what is being
recursed, e.g. it could mean directories or trees (c.f. ls-tree) In a

Currently the submodule.<name>.url config option is used to determine if
a given submodule is of interest to the user. This ends up being
cumbersome in a world where we want to have different submodules checked
out in different worktrees or a more generalized mechanism to select
which submodules are of interest.
In a future with worktree support for submodules, there will be multiple
working trees, each of which may only need a subset of the submodules
checked out. The URL (which is where the submodule repository can be
obtained) should not differ between different working trees.
It may also be convenient for users to more easily specify groups of
submodules they are interested in as opposed to running "git submodule
init <path>" on each submodule they want checked out in their working
tree.
To this end two config options are introduced, submodule.active and
submodule.<name>.active. The submodule.active config holds a pathspec
that specifies which submodules should exist in the working tree. The
submodule.<name>.active config is a boolean flag used to indicate if
that particular submodule should exist in the working tree.
Its important to note that submodule.active functions differently than
the other configuration options since it takes a pathspec. This allows
users to adopt at least two new workflows:
1. Submodules can be grouped with a leading directory, such that a
pathspec e.g. 'lib/' would cover all library-ish modules to allow
those who are interested in library-ish modules to set
"submodule.active = lib/" just once to say any and all modules in
'lib/' are interesting.
2. Once the pathspec-attribute feature is invented, users can label
submodules with attributes to group them, so that a broad pathspec
with attribute requirements, e.g. ':(attr:lib)', can be used to say
any and all modules with the 'lib' attribute are interesting.
Since the .gitattributes file, just like the .gitmodules file, is
tracked by the superproject, when a submodule moves in the
superproject tree, the project can adjust which path gets the
attribute in .gitattributes, just like it can adjust which path has
the submodule in .gitmodules.
Neither of these two additional configuration options solve the problem
of wanting different submodules checked out in different worktrees
because multiple worktrees share .git/config. Only once per-worktree
configurations become a reality can this be solved, but this is a
necessary preparatory step for that future.
Given these multiple ways to check if a submodule is of interest, the
more fine-grained submodule.<name>.active option has the highest order
of precedence followed by the pathspec check against submodule.active.
To ensure backwards compatibility, if neither of these options are set,
git falls back to checking the submodule.<name>.url option to determine
if a submodule is interesting.

"git revert -m 0 $merge_commit" complained that reverting a merge
needs to say relative to which parent the reversion needs to
happen, as if "-m 0" weren't given. The correct diagnosis is that
"-m 0" does not refer to the first parent ("-m 1" does). This has
been fixed.

cherry-pick: detect bogus arguments to --mainline
The start-up sequence of "git" needs to figure out some configured

The code has been restructured.

t7006: replace dubious test
Our source code has used the SHA1_HEADER cpp macro after "#include"
in the C code to switch among the SHA-1 implementations. Instead,
list the exact header file names and switch among implementations
using "#ifdef BLK_SHA1/#include "block-sha1/sha1.h"/.../#endif";
this helps some IDE tools.
* bc/sha1-header-selection-with-cpp-macros:
hash.h: move SHA-1 implementation selection into a header file
"git add -p <pathspec>" unnecessarily expanded the pathspec to a
list of individual files that matches the pathspec by running "git
ls-files <pathspec>", before feeding it to "git diff-index" to see
which paths have changes, because historically the pathspec
language supported by "diff-index" was weaker. These days they are
equivalent and there is no reason to internally expand it. This
helps both performance and avoids command line argument limit on
some platforms.
* jk/add-i-use-pathspecs:
add--interactive: do not expand pathspecs with ls-files
The pathspec mechanism learned to further limit the paths that
match the pattern to those that have specified attributes attached
via the gitattributes mechanism.
"git tag --contains" used to (ab)use the object bits to keep track
of the state of object reachability without clearing them after
use; this has been cleaned up and made to use the newer commit-slab
facility.

From a working tree of a repository, a new option of "rev-parse"
lets you ask if the repository is used as a submodule of another
project, and where the root level of the working tree of that
project (i.e. your superproject) is.
The experimental "split index" feature has gained a few

ls-files: fix bug when recursing with relative pathspec
When using the --recurse-submodules flag with a relative pathspec which
includes "..", an error is produced inside the child process spawned for a
submodule. When creating the pathspec struct in the child, the ".." is
interpreted to mean "go up a directory" which causes an error stating that the
path ".." is outside of the repository.
While it is true that ".." is outside the scope of the submodule, it is
confusing to a user who originally invoked the command where ".." was indeed
still inside the scope of the superproject. Since the child process launched
for the submodule has some context that it is operating underneath a
superproject, this error could be avoided.
This patch fixes the bug by passing the 'prefix' to the child process. Now
each child process that works on a submodule has two points of reference to the
superproject: (1) the 'super_prefix' which is the path from the root of the
superproject down to root of the submodule and (2) the 'prefix' which is the
path from the root of the superproject down to the directory where the user
invoked the git command.
With these two pieces of information a child process can correctly interpret
the pathspecs provided by the user as well as being able to properly format its
output relative to the directory the user invoked the original command from.

setup: allow for prefix to be passed to git commands
In a future patch child processes which act on submodules need a little
more context about the original command that was invoked. This patch
teaches git to use the prefix stored in `GIT_INTERNAL_TOPLEVEL_PREFIX`
instead of the prefix that was potentally found during the git directory
setup process.

Make git-credential-cache follow the XDG base path specification by
default. This increases consistency with other applications and helps
keep clutter out of users' home directories.
Check the old socket location, ~/.git-credential-cache/, and use
~/.git-credential-cache/socket if that directory exists rather than
forcing users who have used `git credential-cache` before to migrate to
the new XDG compliant location.
Otherwise use the socket $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/credential/socket following
XDG base path specification. Use the subdirectory credential/ in case
other files are cached under $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/ in the future and to
make the socket's purpose clear.
