t6023: merge-file fails to output anything for a degenerate merge

In the case that merge-file is passed three files with identical
contents it wipes the contents of the output file instead of
leaving it unchanged.

Althought merge-file is porcelain and this will never happen in
normal usage, it is still wrong.

Fix buffer overflow in config parser

When interpreting a config value, the config parser reads in 1+ space
character(s) and puts -one- space character in the buffer as soon as
the first non-space character is encountered (if not inside quotes).

Unfortunately the buffer size check lacks the extra space character
which gets inserted at the next non-space character, resulting in
a crash with a specially crafted config entry.

The unit test now uses Java to compile a platform independent
.NET framework to output the test string in C# :o)

Ack, ack.

There's another easy 5% or so for the built-in object walker: once we've
created the hash from the name, the name isn't interesting any more, and
so something trivial like this can help a bit.

Does it matter? Probably not on its own. But a few more memory saving
tricks and it might all make a difference.

avoid possible overflow in delta size filtering computationNicolas Pitre Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:56:12 +0000 (15:56 -0400)

avoid possible overflow in delta size filtering computation

On a 32-bit system, the maximum possible size for an object is less than
4GB, while 64-bit systems may cope with larger objects. Due to this
limitation, variables holding object sizes are using an unsigned long
type (32 bits on 32-bit systems, or 64 bits on 64-bit systems).

When large objects are encountered, and/or people play with large delta
depth values, it is possible for the maximum allowed delta size
computation to overflow, especially on a 32-bit system. When this
occurs, surviving result bits may represent a value much smaller than
what it is supposed to be, or even zero. This prevents some objects
from being deltified although they do get deltified when a smaller depth
limit is used. Fix this by always performing a 64-bit multiplication.

When there is nothing to be skipped, the output from
rev-list --bisect-vars was eval'ed without first being

handcrafted by the filter_skip function, but it still is

bisect: fix quoting TRIED revs when "bad" commit is also "skip"ped

When the "bad" commit was also "skip"ped and when more than one
commit was skipped, the "filter_skipped" function would have
printed something like:

bisect_rev=<hash1>|<hash2>

(where <hash1> and <hash2> are hexadecimal sha1 hashes)

and this would have been evaled later as piping "bisect_rev=<hash1>"
into "<hash2>", which would have failed.

So this patch makes the "filter_skipped" function properly quote
what it outputs, so that it will print something like:

bisect_rev='<hash1>|<hash2>'

which will be properly evaled later. The caller was not stopping
properly because the scriptlet this function returned to be evaled
was not strung together with && and because of this, an error in
an earlier part of the output was simply ignored.

A test case is added to the test suite.

And while at it, we also initialize the VARS, FOUND and TRIED
variables, so that we protect ourselves from environment variables
the user may have with these names.

Support "\" in non-wildcard exclusion entries

"\" was treated differently in exclude rules depending on whether a
wildcard match was done. For wildcard rules, "\" was de-escaped in
fnmatch, but this was not done for other rules since they used strcmp
instead. A file named "#foo" would not be excluded by "\#foo", but would
be excluded by "\#foo*".

We now treat all rules with "\" as wildcard rules.

Another solution could be to de-escape all non-wildcard rules as we
read them, but we would have to do the de-escaping exactly as fnmatch
does it to avoid inconsistencies.

Make repack less likely to corrupt repositoryJunio C Hamano Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:16:31 +0000 (12:16 -0800)

Make repack less likely to corrupt repository

Some platforms refuse to rename a file that is open. When repacking an
already packed repository without adding any new object, the resulting
pack will contain the same set of objects as an existing pack, and on such
platforms, a newly created packfile cannot replace the existing one.

The logic detected this issue but did not try hard enough to recover from
it. Especially because the files that needs renaming come in pairs, there
potentially are different failure modes that one can be renamed but the
others cannot. Asking manual recovery to end users were error prone.

This patch tries to make it more robust by first making sure all the
existing files that need to be renamed have been renamed before
continuing, and attempts to roll back if some failed to rename.

This is based on an initial patch by Robin Rosenberg.

There is some risk that re-opening a regenerated pack file with

Throwing away the entire delta base cache in this case is safer,
as we don't have to worry about a recycled "struct packed_git*"
matching to the wrong base object, resulting in delta apply
errors while unpacking an object.

merge: fix out-of-bounds memory accessRené Scharfe Sat, 31 Jan 2009 14:39:10 +0000 (15:39 +0100)

merge: fix out-of-bounds memory access

The parameter n of unpack_callback() can have a value of up to
MAX_UNPACK_TREES. The check at the top of unpack_trees() (its only
(indirect) caller) makes sure it cannot exceed this limit.

unpack_callback() passes it and the array src to unpack_nondirectories(),
which has this loop:

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
/* ... */
src[i + o->merge] = o->df_conflict_entry;

o->merge can be 0 or 1, so unpack_nondirectories() potentially accesses
the array src at index MAX_UNPACK_TREES. This patch makes it big enough.

The size of the content we are adding may be larger than

diff.c: output correct index lines for a split diffJunio C Hamano Mon, 26 Jan 2009 08:08:24 +0000 (00:08 -0800)

diff.c: output correct index lines for a split diff

A patch that changes the filetype (e.g. regular file to symlink) of a path
must be split into a deletion event followed by a creation event, which
means that we need to have two independent metainfo lines for each.
However, the code reused the single set of metainfo lines.

As the blob object names recorded on the index lines are usually not used
nor validated on the receiving end, this is not an issue with normal use
of the resulting patch. However, when accepting a binary patch to delete
a blob, git-apply verified that the postimage blob object name on the
index line is 0{40}, hence a patch that deletes a regular file blob that
records binary contents to create a blob with different filetype (e.g. a
symbolic link) failed to apply. "git am -3" also uses the blob object
names recorded on the index line, so it would also misbehave when
synthesizing a preimage tree.

This moves the code to generate metainfo lines around, so that two
independent sets of metainfo lines are used for the split halves.

Additional tests by Jeff King.

builtin-commit.c: do not remove COMMIT_EDITMSG

git-commit tries to remove the file ./COMMIT_EDITMSG instead of
$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG after commit preparation (e.g. running
hooks, launching editor).
This behavior exists since f5bbc3225c4b07 "Port git commit to C".

Some test cases (e.g. t/t7502-commit.sh) rely on the existence of
$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG after committing and, I guess, many people
are used to it. So it is best not to remove it.

This patch just removes the removal of COMMIT_EDITMSG.

look back through SVN history to properly get the history for a branch
copied from somewhere not already being tracked by git-svn. If in the
process of fetching this history, git-svn is interrupted, then when one
fetches again, it will use whatever was last fetched as the parent
commit and fail to fetch any more history which it didn't get to before
being terminated. This is especially troubling in that different
git-svn copies of the same SVN repository can end up with different
commit sha1s, incorrectly showing the history as divergent and
precluding easy collaboration using git push and fetch.

To fix this, when we initialise the Git::SVN object $gs to search for
and perhaps fetch history, we check if there are any commits in SVN in
the range between the current revision $gs is at, and the top revision
for which we were asked to fill history. If there are commits we're
missing in that range, we continue the fetch from the current revision
to the top, properly getting all history before using it as the parent
for the branch we're trying to create.

"git diff <tree>{3,}": do not reverse order of arguments

According to the message of commit 0fe7c1de16f71312e6adac4b85bddf0d62a47168,
"git diff" with three or more trees expects the merged tree first followed by
the parents, in order. However, this command reversed the order of its
arguments, resulting in confusing diffs. A comment /* Again, the revs are all
reverse */ suggested there was a reason for this, but I can't figure out the
reason, so I removed the reversal of the arguments. Test case included.

tag: delete TAG_EDITMSG only on successful tag

The user may put some effort into writing an annotated tag
message. When the tagging process later fails (which can
happen fairly easily, since it may be dependent on gpg being
correctly configured and used), there is no record left on
disk of the tag message.

Instead, let's keep the TAG_EDITMSG file around until we are
sure the tag has been created successfully. If we die
because of an error, the user can recover their text from
that file. Leaving the file in place causes no conflicts;
it will be silently overwritten by the next annotated tag
creation.

This matches the behavior of COMMIT_EDITMSG, which stays
around in case of error.

gitweb: Make project specific override for 'grep' feature work

The 'grep' feature was marked in the comments as having project
specific config, but it lacked 'sub' key required for it to work.
