Test all possible use-cases of git-status "--ignored" with the
"--untracked-files" option with values "normal" and "all":

- An untracked directory is listed as untracked if it has a mix of
untracked and ignored files in it. With -uall, ignored/untracked
files are listed as ignored/untracked.

- An untracked directory with only ignored files is listed as
ignored. With -uall, all files in the directory are listed.

dir.c: Make git-status --ignored more consistent

The current behavior of git-status is inconsistent and misleading.
Especially when used with --untracked-files=all option:

- files ignored in untracked directories will be missing from
status output.

- untracked files in committed yet ignored directories are also
missing.

- with --untracked-files=normal, untracked directories that
contains only ignored files are dropped too.

Make the behavior more consistent across all possible use cases:

- "--ignored --untracked-files=normal" doesn't show each specific
files but top directory. It instead shows untracked directories
that only contains ignored files, and ignored tracked directories
with untracked files.

- "--ignored --untracked-files=all" shows all ignored files, either
because it's in an ignored directory (tracked or untracked), or
because the file is explicitly ignored.

Makefile: add USE_WILDMATCH to use wildmatch as fnmatch

This is similar to NO_FNMATCH but it uses wildmatch instead of
compat/fnmatch. This is an intermediate step to let wildmatch be used
as fnmatch replacement for wider audience before it replaces fnmatch
completely and compat/fnmatch is removed.

fnmatch in test-wildmatch is not impacted by this and is the only
place that NO_FNMATCH or NO_FNMATCH_CASEFOLD remain active when
USE_WILDMATCH is set.

Normally when we match "*X" on "abcX", we call dowild("X", "abcX"),
dowild("X", "bcX"), dowild("X", "cX") and dowild("X", "X"). Only the
last call may have a chance of matching. By skipping the text before
"X", we can eliminate the first three useless calls.

test-wildmatch: add "perf" command to compare wildmatch... Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Tue, 1 Jan 2013 02:44:08 +0000 (09:44 +0700)

test-wildmatch: add "perf" command to compare wildmatch and fnmatch

It takes a text file, a pattern, a number <n> and pathname flag. Each
line in the text file is matched against the pattern <n> times. If
"pathname" is given, FNM_PATHNAME is used.

test-wildmatch is built with -O2 and tested against glibc 2.14.1 (also
-O2) and compat/fnmatch. The input file is linux-2.6.git file list.
<n> is 2000. The complete command list is at the end.

improvement in FNM_PATHNAME case:

So far, wildmatch() has always honoured directory boundary and there

requiring all callers that want the FNM_PATHNAME behaviour to pass
that in the equivalent flag WM_PATHNAME. Callers that do not specify
WM_PATHNAME will get wildcards like ? and * in their patterns matched
against '/', just like not passing FNM_PATHNAME to fnmatch().

wildmatch: fix "**" special case

"**" is adjusted to only be effective when surrounded by slashes, in
40bbee0 (wildmatch: adjust "**" behavior - 2012-10-15). Except that
the commit did it wrong:

1. when it checks for "the preceding slash unless ** is at the
beginning", it compares to wrong pointer. It should have compared
to the beginning of the pattern, not the text.

2. prev_p points to the character before "**", not the first "*". The
correct comparison must be "prev_p < pattern" or
"prev_p + 1 == pattern", not "prev_p == pattern".

3. The pattern must be surrounded by slashes unless it's at the
beginning or the end of the pattern. We do two checks: one for the
preceding slash and one the trailing slash. Both checks must be
met. The use of "||" is wrong.

This patch fixes all above.

gitk: Fix display of branch names on some commits

Sometimes the code that divides commits up into arcs creates two
successive arcs, but the commit between them (the commit at the end
of the first arc and the beginning of the second arc) has only one
parent and one child. If that commit is also the head of one or more
branches, those branches get omitted from the "Branches" field in the
commit display.

The omission occurs because the commit gets erroneously identified as
a commit which is part-way along an arc in [descheads]. This fixes it
by changing the test to look at the arcouts array, which only contains
elements for the commits at the start or end of an arc.

Use longer alias names in subdirectory testsAaron Schrab Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:03:06 +0000 (18:03 -0500)

Use longer alias names in subdirectory tests

When testing aliases in t/t1020-subdirectory.sh use longer names so that
they're less likely to conflict with a git-* command somewhere in the
$PATH.

I have a git-ss command in my path which prevents the 'ss' alias from
being used. This command will always fail for git.git, causing the test
to fail. Even if the command succeeded, that would be a false success
for the test since the alias wasn't actually used. A longer, more
descriptive name will make it much less likely that somebody has a
command in their $PATH which will shadow the alias created for the test.

While here, use a longer name for the 'test' alias as well since that is
also short and meaningful enough to make it not unlikely that somebody
would have a command in their $PATH which will shadow that as well.

The excluded function uses a new helper function called

the exclude patterns. The helper just tells us whether the path is
included, excluded, or undecided.

However, it may be useful to know _which_ pattern was triggered. So
let's pass out the entire exclude match, which contains the status
information we were already passing out.

Further patches can make use of this.

git-remote-helpers.txt: document invocation before input format

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...

Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.

However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

mergetools/p4merge: Honor $TMPDIR for the /dev/null placeholder

Use $TMPDIR when creating the /dev/null placeholder for p4merge.
This prevents users from finding a seemingly random untracked file
in their worktree.

This is different than what mergetool does with $LOCAL and
$REMOTE because those files exist to aid users when resolving
merges. p4merge's /dev/null placeholder is not helpful in that
situation so it is sensible to keep it out of the worktree.

merge-tree: fix d/f conflictsJunio C Hamano Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:51:29 +0000 (15:51 -0800)

merge-tree: fix d/f conflicts

The previous commit documented two known breakages revolving around
a case where one side flips a tree into a blob (or vice versa),
where the original code simply gets confused and feeds a mixture of
trees and blobs into either the recursive merge-tree (and recursing
into the blob will fail) or three-way merge (and merging tree contents
together with blobs will fail).

Fix it by feeding trees (and only trees) into the recursive
merge-tree machinery and blobs (and only blobs) into the three-way
content level merge machinery separately; when this happens, the
entire merge has to be marked as conflicting at the structure level.

format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option

The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:

- Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified. As the default
subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
"PATCH v2".

- Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files. The cover
letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.

This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple
iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a
newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds. The
user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the
newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out
the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.

refs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_refJeff King Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:04:49 +0000 (03:04 -0500)

refs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_ref

When we delete a ref that is packed, we rewrite the whole
packed-refs file and simply omit the ref that no longer
exists. However, we base the rewrite on whatever happens to
be in our refs cache, not what is necessarily on disk. That
opens us up to a race condition if another process is
simultaneously packing the refs, as we will overwrite their
newly-made pack-refs file with our potentially stale data,
losing commits.

You can demonstrate the race like this:

# setup some repositories
git init --bare parent &&
(cd parent && git config core.logallrefupdates true) &&
git clone parent child &&
(cd child && git commit --allow-empty -m base)

# in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd parent &&
while true; do
git pack-refs --all
done

# in another terminal, simultaneously push updates to
# master, and create and delete an unrelated ref
cd child &&
while true; do
git push origin HEAD:newbranch &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo
us=`git rev-parse master` &&
git push origin master &&
git push origin :newbranch &&
them=`git --git-dir=../parent rev-parse master` &&
if test "$them" != "$us"; then
echo >&2 "$them" != "$us"
exit 1
fi
done

In many cases the two processes will conflict over locking
the packed-refs file, and the deletion of newbranch will
simply fail. But eventually you will hit the race, which
happens like this:

1. We push a new commit to master. It is already packed
(from the looping pack-refs call). We write the new
value (let us call it B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master,
but the old value (call it A) remains in the
packed-refs file.

2. We push the deletion of newbranch, spawning a
receive-pack process. Receive-pack advertises all refs
to the client, causing it to iterate over each ref; it
caches the packed refs in memory, which points at the
stale value A.

3. Meanwhile, a separate pack-refs process is running. It
runs to completion, updating the packed-refs file to
point master at B, and deleting $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master
which also pointed at B.

4. Back in the receive-pack process, we get the
instruction to delete :newbranch. We take a lock on
packed-refs (which works, as the other pack-refs
process has already finished). We then rewrite the
contents using the cached refs, which contain the stale
value A.

The resulting packed-refs file points master once again at
A. The loose ref which would override it to point at B was
deleted (rightfully) in step 3. As a result, master now
points at A. The only trace that B ever existed in the
parent is in the reflog: the final entry will show master
moving from A to B, even though the ref still points at A
(so you can detect this race after the fact, because the
next reflog entry will move from A to C).

We can fix this by invalidating the packed-refs cache after
we have taken the lock. This means that we will re-read the
packed-refs file, and since we have the lock, we will be
sure that what we read will be atomically up-to-date when we
write (it may be out of date with respect to loose refs, but
that is OK, as loose refs take precedence).

tests: paint unexpectedly fixed known breakages in bold red

Change color of unexpectedly fixed known breakages to bold red. An
unexpectedly passing test indicates that the test code is somehow
broken or out of sync with the code it is testing. Either way this is
an error which is potentially as bad as a failing test, and as such is
no longer portrayed as a pass in the output.
