submodule: rewrite `module_list` shell function in C
Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules.
Calculating and using this set is usually done via:
module_list "$@" | {
while read mode sha1 stage sm_path
do
# the actual operation
done
}
Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the
git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script.
The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be
easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C.
git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate
to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the
subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from
within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated
to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative
to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh.
That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative
path which to anchor relative path arguments.

submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules values
In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They
need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree
of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a
caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then
parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one
place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the
worktree).
The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read
.gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then
be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for
path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed.
It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between
commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then
either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an
unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each
requested commit.
This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about
submodule configurations. Example use cases are:
* Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from
its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before
this configuration exists in the worktree.
* The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to
lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a
revision that is not checked out.
* 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or
configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the
database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it
needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new
submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without
any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that
revision.

One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:
1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.
2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
correctly at least once), but many of these constant
strings appear throughout the code.
This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.
Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.
Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.
Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

The get_repo_path function calls mkpath() and then does some
non-trivial operations on it, like calling
is_git_directory() and read_gitfile(). These are actually
OK (they do not use more pathname static buffers
themselves), but it takes a fair bit of work to verify.
Let's use our own strbuf to store the path, and we can
simply reuse it for each iteration of the loop (we can even
avoid rewriting the beginning part, since we are trying a
series of suffixes).
To make the strbuf cleanup easier, we split out a thin
wrapper. As a bonus, this wrapper can factor out the
canonicalization that happens in all of the early-return
code paths.

The find_hook function returns the results of git_path,
which is a static buffer shared by other path-related calls.
Returning such a buffer is slightly dangerous, because it
can be overwritten by seemingly unrelated functions.
Let's at least keep our _own_ static buffer, so you can
only get in trouble by calling find_hook in quick
succession, which is less likely to happen and more obvious
to notice.
While we're at it, let's add some documentation of the
function's limitations.

refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbuf
The first thing we do in this function is copy the input
into a strbuf. Of the 4 callers, 3 of them already have a
strbuf we could use. Let's just take the strbuf, and convert
the remaining caller to use a strbuf, rather than a raw
git_path. This is safer, anyway, as remove_dir_recursively
is a non-trivial function that might use the pathname
buffers itself (this is _probably_ OK, as the likely culprit
would be calling resolve_gitlink_ref, but we do not pass the
proper flags to ask it to avoid blowing away gitlinks).

Assigning the result of git_path is a bad pattern, because

which we know is safe (we just have to remember to free it
in all code paths).

("ref_file" is used for two distinct purposes).

refs.c: simplify strbufs in reflog setup and writing
Commit 1a83c24 (git_snpath(): retire and replace with
strbuf_git_path(), 2014-11-30) taught log_ref_setup and
log_ref_write_1 to take a strbuf parameter, rather than a
bare string. It then makes an alias to the strbuf's "buf"
field under the original name.
This made the original diff much shorter, but the resulting
code is more complicated that it needs to be. Since we've
aliased the pointer, we drop our reference to the strbuf to
ensure we don't accidentally change it. But if we simply
drop our alias and use "logfile.buf" directly, we do not
have to worry about this aliasing. It's a larger diff, but
the resulting code is simpler.

refs.c: remove extra git_path calls from read_loose_refs
In iterating over the loose refs in "refs/foo/", we keep a
running strbuf with "refs/foo/one", "refs/foo/two", etc. But
we also need to access these files in the filesystem, as
".git/refs/foo/one", etc. For this latter purpose, we make a
series of independent calls to git_path(). These are safe
(we only use the result to call stat()), but assigning the
result of git_path is a suspicious pattern that we'd rather
avoid.
This patch keeps a running buffer with ".git/refs/foo/", and
we can just append/reset each directory element as we loop.
This matches how we handle the refnames. It should also be
more efficient, as we do not keep formatting the same
".git/refs/foo" prefix (which can be arbitrarily deep).
Technically we are dropping a call to strbuf_cleanup() on
each generated filename, but that's OK; it wasn't doing
anything, as we are putting in single-level names we read
from the filesystem (so it could not possibly be cleaning up
cruft like "./" in this instance).
A clever reader may also note that the running refname
buffer ("refs/foo/") is actually a subset of the filesystem
path buffer (".git/refs/foo/"). We could get by with one
buffer, indexing the length of $GIT_DIR when we want the
refname. However, having tried this, the resulting code
actually ends up a little more confusing, and the efficiency
improvement is tiny (and almost certainly dwarfed by the
system calls we are making).

remote.c: drop extraneous local variable from migrate_file
It's an anti-pattern to assign the result of git_path to a
variable, since other calls may reuse our buffer. In this
case, we feed the result to unlink_or_warn immediately
afterwards, so it's OK. However, it's nice to avoid
assignment entirely, which makes it more obvious that
there's no bug.
We can just pass the result directly to unlink_or_warn,
which is a known-simple function. As a bonus, the code flow
is a little more obvious, as we eliminate an extra
conditional (a reader does not have to wonder any more
"under which circumstances is 'path' set?").

As with the previous commit to git_path, assigning the
result of mkpath is suspicious, since it is not clear
whether we will still depend on the value after it may have
been overwritten by subsequent calls. This patch converts
low-hanging fruit to use mkpathdup instead of mkpath (with
the downside that we must remember to free the result).
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous cases
Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with
calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to
assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial
function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other
calls.
None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:
1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.
2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
hard to tell whether they're safe or not.
The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an
allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a
system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we
are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must
remember to free the result.

The add_to_alternates_file function blindly uses
hold_lock_file_for_append to copy the existing contents, and
then adds the new line to it. This has two minor problems:
1. We might add duplicate entries, which are ugly and
inefficient.
2. We do not check that the file ends with a newline, in
which case we would bogusly append to the final line.
This is quite unlikely in practice, though, as we call
this function only from git-clone, so presumably we are
the only writers of the file (and we always add a
newline).
Instead of using hold_lock_file_for_append, let's copy the
file line by line, which ensures all records are properly
terminated. If we see an extra line, we can simply abort the
update (there is no point in even copying the rest, as we
know that it would be identical to the original).
As a bonus, we also get rid of some calls to the
static-buffer mkpath and git_path functions.

As users of this API will no longer send a ref_filter_cbdata
structure directly, we make the elements of ref_filter_cbdata
pointers. We can now use the information given by the users
to obtain our own ref_filter_cbdata structure. Changes are made to
support the change in ref_filter_cbdata structure.
Make 'for-each-ref' use this API.

Move most of the code from 'for-each-ref' to 'ref-filter' to make
it publicly available to other commands, this is to unify the code
of 'tag -l', 'branch -l' and 'for-each-ref' so that they can share
their implementations with each other.
Add 'ref-filter' to the Makefile, this completes the movement of code
from 'for-each-ref' to 'ref-filter'.

Documentation/git-tools: retire manually-maintained list
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools
came to the Git project itself to find them, so it made sense to
maintain a list of tools here. These days, however, search engines fill
that role much more efficiently, so retire the manually-maintained
list.
The list of front-ends and tools on the Git wiki rates perhaps a distant
second to search engines, and may still have value, so retain a
reference to it.

Documentation/git-tools: drop references to defunct tools
Cogito -- unmaintained since late 2006[1]
pg -- URL dead; web searches reveal no information
quilt2git -- URL dead; web searches reveal no information

Descriptive text for each tool item is incorrectly formatted using a
fixed width font. Fix formatting to use a variable width font by
unindenting the item text.

Documentation/git-tools: improve discoverability of Git wiki
These days, the best way to find Git-related tools is via a search
engine. The Git wiki may be a distant second, and git-tools.txt falls in
last place. Therefore, promote the Git wiki reference to the top of
git-tools.txt so the reader will encounter it first, rather than hiding
it away at the very bottom.

Merge branch 'jc/fsck-retire-require-eoh' into maint
A fix to a minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era that started
complaining about a body-less tag object when it lacks a separator
empty line after its header to separate it with a non-existent body.

fsck: it is OK for a tag and a commit to lack the body
We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method
available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to
talk to one via configuration variables. We now ask libCURL to
always use the most secure authentication method, because the user
can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable
without using configuration variables.
* et/http-proxyauth:
http: always use any proxy auth method available
Merge branch 'jc/unexport-git-pager-in-use-in-pager' into maint
When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse
yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took
control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but
that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked
GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local
communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was
spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many
"interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints
its output in color by default.
Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the
fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager.
* jc/unexport-git-pager-in-use-in-pager:
pager: do not leak "GIT_PAGER_IN_USE" to the pager
Merge branch 'rh/test-color-avoid-terminfo-in-original-home' into maint
An ancient test framework enhancement to allow color was not

Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*"
within a component instead of only as the whole component.
Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from
check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic
in check_refname_component(). Pass the pointer to the flags argument
to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when
it sees "*".
Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*"
only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the
bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec
contains at most one asterisk.
This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`.
Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with
the new logic.

Cogito hasn't been maintained since late 2006, so drop the reference
to it. The warning that SCMS front-ends might override listed
environment variables, however, may still be valuable, so keep it but
generalize the wording.

It used to be possible to apply a patch series with "git am mbox"
and then only after seeing a failure, switch to three-way mode via
"git am -3" (no other options or arguments). The commit being
reverted broke this workflow.
Add support for Fountain, a plain text screenplay format. Git
facilitates not just programming specifically, but creative writing
in general, so it makes sense to also support other plain text
documents besides source code.
In the structure of a screenplay specifically, scenes are roughly
analogous to functions, in the sense that it makes your job easier
if you can see which ones were changed in a given range of patches.
More information about the Fountain format can be found on its
official website, at http://fountain.io .
