t3401: use test_commit in setup

Simplify t3401 by using test_commit in the setup. This lets us refer
to commits using their tags and there is no longer a need to create
the branch my-topic-branch-merge. Also, the branch master-merge points
to the same commit as master (even before this change), so that branch
does not need to be created either.

While at it, replace "test ! -d" by "test_path_is_missing".

git-p4: use absolute directory for PWD env var

P4 only looks at the environment variable $PWD to figure out
where it is, so chdir() has code to set that every time. But
when the clone --destination is not an absolute path, PWD will
not be absolute and P4 won't be able to find any files expected
to be in the current directory. Fix this by expanding PWD to
an absolute path.

One place this crops up is when using a P4CONFIG environment
variable to specify P4 parameters, such as P4USER or P4PORT.
Setting P4CONFIG=.p4config works for p4 invocations from the
current directory. But if the value of PWD is not absolute, it
fails.

We create this table in a static buffer using sprintf. If
the remote refnames are long, they can overflow this buffer
and smash the stack.

Instead, let's use a strbuf to build the string.

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide failures

it, clean up the style to fit the prevailing style. This means:

- Put the opening quote starting each test on the same line as the

- Indent the file with tabs, not spaces.

- Use test_expect_code() in preference to checking the exit status of
various statements by hand.

- Guard commands that prepare test input for individual tests in the
same test_expect_success, so that their scope is clearer and errors
at that stage can be caught.

- Use <<-\EOF in preference to <<EOF to save readers the trouble of
looking for variable interpolations.

- Include "setup" in the titles of test assertions that prepare for
later ones to make it more obvious which tests can be skipped.

When loading a file into the blame window git-gui does all the work and

necessary to detect the need for a shell script explicitly.

Such filter commands are run using non-blocking I/O but this has the
unfortunate side effect of losing any error that might be reported when
the pipe is closed. Switching to blocking mode just before closing
enables reporting of errors in the filter scripts to the user.

test: remove a porcelain test that hard-codes commit names

The rev-list output in this test depends on the details of test_tick's
dummy dates and the choice of hash function. Worse, it depends on the
order and nature of commits made in the earlier tests, so adding new
tests or rearranging existing ones breaks it.

It would be nice to check that "git commit" and commit-tree name
objects consistently and that commit objects' text is as documented,
but this particular test checks everything at once and hence is not a
robust test for that. Remove it.

commit: write cache-tree data when writing index anyway

In prepare_index(), we refresh the index, and then write it to disk if
this changed the index data. After running hooks we re-read the index
and compute the root tree sha1 with the cache-tree machinery.

This gives us a mostly free opportunity to write up-to-date cache-tree
data: we can compute it in prepare_index() immediately before writing
the index to disk.

If we do this, we were going to write the index anyway, and the later
cache-tree update has no further work to do. If we don't do it, we
don't do any extra work, though we still don't have have cache-tree
data after the commit.

The only case that suffers badly is when the pre-commit hook changes
many trees in the index. I'm writing this off as highly unusual.

Test the current state of the cache-tree optimization

The cache-tree optimization originally helped speed up write-tree
operation. However, many commands no longer properly maintain -- or
use an opportunity to cheaply generate -- the cache-tree data. In
particular, this affects commit, checkout and reset. The notable
examples that *do* write cache-tree data are read-tree and write-tree.

This sadly means most people no longer benefit from the optimization,
as they would not normally use the plumbing commands.

i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext

Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show
localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using
either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation.

This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If
gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of
showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script
we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act
appropriately.

This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and
Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for
those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test
translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this
purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy
to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to
understand.

The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various
sub-parts of this commit.

= Installation

Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard
$(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to
override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself.

= Perl

Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n
module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default.

Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've
opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface)
Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses.

Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and
some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the
$TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own
hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages.

I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to
circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly
internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed
necessary.

See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for
a further elaboration on this topic.

= Shell

Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n
library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh.

If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's
available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris,
which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to
emulate eval_gettext() there.

If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through
wrapper.

= About libcharset.h and langinfo.h

We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if
it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if
HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set.

The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on
systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is
either saner, or the only option on those systems.

GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either,
but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset()
instead.

Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer useNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:22:15 +0000 (17:22 +0700)

Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer use

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.

The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()

branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);

Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

lookup_commit_or_die
lookup_commit_reference
lookup_commit_reference_gently
parse_object

do_lookup_replace_object
prepare_replace_object
for_each_replace_ref
do_for_each_ref
get_loose_refs
get_ref_dir

resolve_ref

All call sites are checked and made sure that xstrdup() is called if
the value should be saved.

builtin/apply.c: report error on failure to recognize input

When git apply is passed something that is not a patch, it does not produce
an error message or exit with a non-zero status if it was not actually
"applying" the patch i.e. --check or --numstat etc were supplied on the
command line.

Fix this by producing an error when apply fails to find any hunks whatsoever
while parsing the patch.

This will cause some of the output formats (--numstat, --diffstat, etc) to
produce an error when they formerly would have reported zero changes and
exited successfully. That seems like the correct behavior though. Failure
to recognize the input as a patch should be an error.

Plus, add a test.

The third test "apply --build-fake-ancestor in a subdirectory" has been
broken since it was introduced. It intended to modify a tracked file named
'sub/3.t' and then produce a diff which could be git apply'ed, but the file
named 'sub/3.t' does not exist. The file that exists in the repo is called
'sub/3'. Since no tracked files were modified, an empty diff was produced,
and the test succeeded.

Correct this test by supplying the intended name of the tracked file,
'sub/3.t', to test_commit in the first test.

csum-file: introduce sha1file_checkpoint

It is useful to be able to rewind a check-summed file to a certain
previous state after writing data into it using sha1write() API. The
fast-import command does this after streaming a blob data to the packfile
being generated and then noticing that the same blob has already been
written, and it does this with a private code truncate_pack() that is
commented as "Yes, this is a layering violation".

Introduce two API functions, sha1file_checkpoint(), that allows the caller
to save a state of a sha1file, and then later revert it to the saved state.
Use it to reimplement truncate_pack().

fast-import: Fix incorrect fanout level when modifying... Johan Herland Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:09:47 +0000 (01:09 +0100)

fast-import: Fix incorrect fanout level when modifying existing notes refs

This fixes the bug uncovered by the tests added in the previous two patches.

When an existing notes ref was loaded into the fast-import machinery, the
num_notes counter associated with that ref remained == 0, even though the
true number of notes in the loaded ref was higher. This caused a fanout
level of 0 to be used, although the actual fanout of the tree could be > 0.
Manipulating the notes tree at an incorrect fanout level causes removals to
silently fail, and modifications of existing notes to instead produce an
additional note (leaving the old object in place at a different fanout level).

This patch fixes the bug by explicitly counting the number of notes in the
notes tree whenever it looks like the num_notes counter could be wrong (when
num_notes == 0). There may be false positives (i.e. triggering the counting
when the notes tree is truly empty), but in those cases, the counting should
not take long.

t9301: Fix testcase covering up a bug in fast-import... Johan Herland Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:09:45 +0000 (01:09 +0100)

t9301: Fix testcase covering up a bug in fast-import's notes fanout handling

There is a bug in fast-import where the fanout levels of an existing notes
tree being loaded into the fast-import machinery is disregarded. Instead, any
tree loaded is assumed to have a fanout level of 0. If the true fanout level
is deeper, any attempt to remove a note from that tree will silently fail
(as the note will not be found at fanout level 0).

However, this bug was covered up by the way in which the t9301 testcase was
written: When generating the fast-import commands to test mass removal of
notes, we appended these commands to an already existing 'input' file which
happened to already contain the fast-import commands used in the previous
subtest to generate the very same notes tree. This would normally be harmless
(but suboptimal) as the notes created were identical to the notes already
present in the notes tree. But the act of repeating all the notes additions
caused the internal fast-import data structures to recalculate the fanout,
instead of hanging on to the initial (incorrect) fanout (that causes the bug
described above). Thus, the subsequent removal of notes in the same 'input'
file would succeed, thereby covering up the bug described above.

This patch creates a new 'input' file instead of appending to the file from
the previous subtest. Thus, we end up properly testing removal of notes that
were added by a previous fast-import command. As a side effect, the notes
removal can no longer refer to commits using the marks set by the previous
fast-import run, instead the commits names must be referenced directly.

The underlying fast-import bug is still present after this patch, but now we
have at least uncovered it. Therefore, the affected subtests are labeled as
expected failures until the underlying bug is fixed.

Ignored files usually are generated files (e.g. .o files) and can be
safely discarded. However sometimes users may have important files in
working directory, but still want a clean "git status", so they mark
them as ignored files. But in this case, these files should not be
overwritten without asking first.

Enable this use case with --no-overwrite-ignore, where git only sees
tracked and untracked files, no ignored files. Those who mix
discardable ignored files with important ones may have to sort it out
themselves.

builtin-reset: Documentation update

The second mode of 'git reset' is defined by the --patch
option, while the third mode is defined by the <mode> option.
Hence, these options are mandatory in the description of the
individual modes.

builtin-branch: Fix crash on invalid use of --force

The option --force should not put us in 'create branch' mode. The
fact that this option is only valid in 'create branch' mode is
already caught by the the next 'if' in which we assure that we
are in the correct mode.

Without this patch, "git branch -f" without any other argument ends
up calling create_branch without any branch name.

revert --abort: do not leave behind useless sequencer... Jonathan Nieder Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:04:52 +0000 (04:04 -0600)

revert --abort: do not leave behind useless sequencer-old directory

The "git cherry-pick --abort" command currently renames the
.git/sequencer directory to .git/sequencer-old instead of removing it
on success due to an accident. cherry-pick --abort is designed to
work in three steps:

1) find which commit to roll back to
2) call "git reset --merge <commit>" to move to that commit
3) remove the .git/sequencer directory

But the careless author forgot step 3 entirely. The only reason the
command worked anyway is that "git reset --merge <commit>" renames the
.git/sequencer directory as a secondary effect --- after moving to
<commit>, or so the logic goes, it is unlikely but possible that the
caller of git reset wants to continue the series of cherry-picks that
was in progress, so git renames the sequencer state to
.git/sequencer-old to be helpful while allowing the cherry-pick to be
resumed if the caller did not want to end the sequence after all.

By running "git cherry-pick --abort", the operator has clearly
indicated that she is not planning to continue cherry-picking. Remove
the (renamed) .git/sequencer directory as intended all along.

Fix revert --abort on Windows

On Windows, it is not possible to rename or remove a directory that has
open files. 'revert --abort' renamed .git/sequencer when it still had
.git/sequencer/head open. Close the file as early as possible to allow
the rename operation on Windows.

Remove the "git cherry-pick --reset" option, which has a different
preferred spelling nowadays ("--quit"). Luckily the old --reset name
was not around long enough for anyone to get used to it.

revert: introduce --abort to cancel a failed cherry-pick

After running some ill-advised command like "git cherry-pick
HEAD..linux-next", the bewildered novice may want to return to more
familiar territory. Introduce a "git cherry-pick --abort" command
that rolls back the entire cherry-pick sequence and places the
repository back on solid ground.

Just like "git merge --abort", this internally uses "git reset
--merge", so local changes not involved in the conflict resolution are
preserved.

revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revert

When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be
handy to have the name of that commit easily available. For example,
to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts:

$ git revert 2eceb2a8
error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature
$ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch
$ edit $(git diff --name-only)

Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit,
for cases like this. This also makes it possible for scripts to
distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other
sources of an unmerged index.

After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving
to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is
no longer useful, so remove it.

revert: improve error message for cherry-pick during... Jonathan Nieder Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:15:47 +0000 (05:15 -0600)

revert: improve error message for cherry-pick during cherry-pick

In the spirit of v1.6.3.3~3^2 (refuse to merge during a merge,
2009-07-01), "git cherry-pick" refuses to start a new cherry-pick when
in the middle of an existing conflicted cherry-pick in the following
sequence:

1. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
2. resolve conflicts
3. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin (instead of "git cherry-pick
--continue", by mistake)

Good. However, the error message on attempting step 3 is more
convoluted than necessary:

$ git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
error: .git/sequencer already exists.
error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress.
hint: Use --continue to continue the operation
hint: or --quit to forget about it
fatal: cherry-pick failed

Clarify by removing the redundant first "error:" message, simplifying
the advice, and using lower-case and no full stops to be consistent
with other commands that prefix their messages with "error:", so it
becomes

error: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress
hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)"
fatal: cherry-pick failed

The "fatal: cherry-pick failed" line seems unnecessary, too, but
that can be fixed some other day.

revert: rearrange pick_revisions() for clarity

Deal completely with "cherry-pick --quit" and --continue at the
beginning of pick_revisions(), leaving the rest of the function for
the more interesting "git cherry-pick <commits>" case.

No functional change intended. The impact is just to unindent the
code a little.
