refactor "dumb" terminal determination

Move the code to detect "dumb" terminals into a single location. This
avoids duplicating the terminal detection code yet again in a subsequent

diffcore-rename: make diff-tree -l0 mean -l<large>

In the documentation of diff-tree, it is stated that the -l option
"prevents rename/copy detection from running if the number of
rename/copy targets exceeds the specified number". The documentation
does not mention any special handling for the number 0, but the
implementation before commit 9f7e4bfa3b ("diff: remove silent clamp of
renameLimit", 2017-11-13) treated 0 as a special value indicating that
the rename limit is to be a very large number instead.

The commit 9f7e4bfa3b changed that behavior, treating 0 as 0. Revert
this behavior to what it was previously. This allows existing scripts
and tools that use "-l0" to continue working. The alternative (to have
"-l0" suppress rename detection) is probably much less useful, since
users can just refrain from specifying -M and/or -C to have the same
effect.

repository: fix a sparse 'using integer as NULL pointer' warning

Commit 78a6766802 ("Integrate hash algorithm support with repo setup",
2017-11-12) added a 'const struct git_hash_algo *hash_algo' field to the
repository structure, without modifying the initializer of the 'the_repo'
variable. This does not actually introduce a bug, since the '0' initializer
for the 'ignore_env:1' bit-field is interpreted as a NULL pointer (hence
the warning), and the final field (now with no initializer) receives a
default '0'.

git-status.txt: mention --no-optional-locks

If you come to the documentation thinking "I do not want Git
to take any locks for my background processes", then you may
easily run across "--no-optional-locks" in git.txt.

But it's quite reasonable to hit a specific instance of the
problem: you have "git status" running in the background,
and you notice that it causes lock contention with other
processes. So you look in git-status.txt to see if there is
a way to disable it, but there's no mention of the flag.

Let's add a short note mentioning that status does indeed
touch the index (and why), with a pointer to the global
option. That can point users in the right direction and help
them make a more informed decision about what they're
disabling.

convert: tighten the safe autocrlf handlingTorsten Bögershausen Sun, 26 Nov 2017 12:20:52 +0000 (13:20 +0100)

convert: tighten the safe autocrlf handling

When a text file had been commited with CRLF and the file is commited
again, the CRLF are kept if .gitattributs has "text=auto".
This is done by analyzing the content of the blob stored in the index:
If a '\r' is found, Git assumes that the blob was commited with CRLF.

The simple search for a '\r' does not always work as expected:
A file is encoded in UTF-16 with CRLF and commited. Git treats it as binary.
Now the content is converted into UTF-8. At the next commit Git treats the
file as text, the CRLF should be converted into LF, but isn't.

Replace has_cr_in_index() with has_crlf_in_index(). When no '\r' is found,
0 is returned directly, this is the most common case.
If a '\r' is found, the content is analyzed more deeply.

merge-recursive: ignore_case shouldn't reject intention... Elijah Newren Fri, 24 Nov 2017 19:59:01 +0000 (11:59 -0800)

merge-recursive: ignore_case shouldn't reject intentional removals

In commit ae352c7f3 (merge-recursive.c: fix case-changing merge bug,
2014-05-01), it was observed that removing files could be problematic on
case insensitive file systems, because we could end up removing files
that differed in case only rather than deleting the intended file --
something that happened when files were renamed on one branch in a way
that differed only in case. To avoid that problem, that commit added
logic to avoid removing files other than the one intended, rejecting the
removal if the files differed only in case.

Unfortunately, the logic it used didn't fully implement that condition as
stated above; instead it merely checked that a case-insensitive lookup of
the file that was requested resulted in finding a file in the index at
stage 0, not that the file found in the index actually differed in case.
Alternatively, one could view the implementation as making an implicit
assumption that the file we actually wanted to remove would never appear
in the index with a stage of 0, and thus that if we found a file with our
lookup, that it had to be a different file (but different in case only).

The net result of this implementation is that it can ignore more requests
than it should, leaving a file around in the working copy that should
have been removed. Make sure that the file found in the index actually
differs in case before silently ignoring the request to remove the file.

worktree: make add <path> <branch> dwim

Currently 'git worktree add <path> <branch>', errors out when 'branch'
is not a local branch. It has no additional dwim'ing features that one
might expect.

Make it behave more like 'git checkout <branch>' when the branch doesn't
exist locally, but a remote tracking branch uniquely matches the desired
branch name, i.e. create a new branch from the remote tracking branch
and set the upstream to the remote tracking branch.

As 'git worktree add' currently just dies in this situation, there are
no backwards compatibility worries when introducing this feature.

worktree: add --[no-]track option to the add subcommand

Currently 'git worktree add' sets up tracking branches if '<branch>' is
a remote tracking branch, and doesn't set them up otherwise, as is the
default for 'git branch'.

This may or may not be what the user wants. Allow overriding this
behaviour with a --[no-]track flag that gets passed through to 'git
branch'.

We already respect branch.autoSetupMerge, as 'git worktree' just calls
'git branch' internally.

worktree: add can be created from any commit-ish

Currently 'git worktree add' is documented to take an optional <branch>

generally possible to use a commit-ish as the optional argument, and
check that out into the new worktree.

Document that this is a possibility, as new users of git worktree add

grep: fix segfault under -P + PCRE2 <=10.30 + (*NO_JIT)Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Thu, 23 Nov 2017 14:16:58 +0000 (14:16 +0000)

grep: fix segfault under -P + PCRE2 <=10.30 + (*NO_JIT)

Fix a bug in the compilation of PCRE2 patterns under JIT (the most
common runtime configuration). Any pattern with a (*NO_JIT) verb would
segfault in any currently released PCRE2 version:

$ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there'
Segmentation fault

That this segfaulted was a bug in PCRE2 itself, after reporting it[1]
on pcre-dev it's been fixed in a yet-to-be-released version of
PCRE (presumably released first as 10.31). Now it'll die with:

$ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there'
fatal: pcre2_jit_match failed with error code -45: bad JIT option

But the cause of the bug is in our own code dating back to my
94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01).

As explained at more length in the comment being added here, it isn't
sufficient to just check pcre2_config() to see whether the JIT should
be used, pcre2_pattern_info() also has to be asked.

This is something I discovered myself when fiddling around with PCRE2
verbs in patterns passed to git. I don't expect that any user of git
has encountered this given the obscurity of passing PCRE2 verbs
through to the library, along with the relative obscurity of (*NO_JIT)
itself.

test-lib: add LIBPCRE1 & LIBPCRE2 prerequisites

Add LIBPCRE1 and LIBPCRE2 prerequisites which are true when git is
compiled with USE_LIBPCRE1=YesPlease or USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease,
respectively.

The syntax of PCRE1 and PCRE2 isn't the same in all cases (see
pcresyntax(3) and pcre2syntax(3)). If test are added that test for
those they'll need to be guarded by these new prerequisites.

The subsequent patch will make use of LIBPCRE2, so LIBPCRE1 isn't
strictly needed for now, but let's add it for consistency and so that
checking for it doesn't have to be done with the less obvious "PCRE,
!LIBPCRE2", which while semantically the same is more confusing, and
would lead to bugs if PCRE v3 is ever released as the tests would mean
v1, not any non-v2 version.

This unfortunately gave an incorrect impression that 'git push'

log: add option to choose which refs to decorateRafael Ascensão Tue, 21 Nov 2017 21:33:41 +0000 (21:33 +0000)

log: add option to choose which refs to decorate

When `log --decorate` is used, git will decorate commits with all
available refs. While in most cases this may give the desired effect,
under some conditions it can lead to excessively verbose output.

Introduce two command line options, `--decorate-refs=<pattern>` and
`--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>` to allow the user to select which
refs are used in decoration.

When "--decorate-refs=<pattern>" is given, only the refs that match the
pattern are used in decoration. The refs that match the pattern when
"--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" is given, are never used in
decoration.

These options follow the same convention for mixing negative and
positive patterns across the system, assuming that the inclusive default
is to match all refs available.

(1) if there is no positive pattern given, pretend as if an
inclusive default positive pattern was given;

(2) for each candidate, reject it if it matches no positive
pattern, or if it matches any one of the negative patterns.

The rules for what is considered a match are slightly different from the
rules used elsewhere.

Commands like `log --glob` assume a trailing '/*' when glob chars are
not present in the pattern. This makes it difficult to specify a single
ref. On the other hand, commands like `describe --match --all` allow
specifying exact refs, but do not have the convenience of allowing
"shorthand refs" like 'refs/heads' or 'heads' to refer to
'refs/heads/*'.

The commands introduced in this patch consider a match if:

(a) the pattern contains globs chars,
and regular pattern matching returns a match.

(b) the pattern does not contain glob chars,
and ref '<pattern>' exists, or if ref exists under '<pattern>/'

This allows both behaviours (allowing single refs and shorthand refs)
yet remaining compatible with existent commands.

sha1_file: fast-path null sha1 as a missing objectJeff King Tue, 21 Nov 2017 23:17:39 +0000 (18:17 -0500)

sha1_file: fast-path null sha1 as a missing object

In theory nobody should ever ask the low-level object code
for a null sha1. It's used as a sentinel for "no such
object" in lots of places, so leaking through to this level
is a sign that the higher-level code is not being careful
about its error-checking. In practice, though, quite a few
code paths seem to rely on the null sha1 lookup failing as a
way to quietly propagate non-existence (e.g., by feeding it
to lookup_commit_reference_gently(), which then returns
NULL).

When this happens, we do two inefficient things:

1. We actually search for the null sha1 in packs and in
the loose object directory.

2. When we fail to find it, we re-scan the pack directory
in case a simultaneous repack happened to move it from
loose to packed. This can be very expensive if you have
a large number of packs.

Only the second one actually causes noticeable performance
problems, so we could treat them independently. But for the
sake of simplicity (both of code and of reasoning about it),
it makes sense to just declare that the null sha1 cannot be
a real on-disk object, and looking it up will always return
"no such object".

There's no real loss of functionality to do so Its use as a
sentinel value means that anybody who is unlucky enough to
hit the 2^-160th chance of generating an object with that
sha1 is already going to find the object largely unusable.

In an ideal world, we'd simply fix all of the callers to
notice the null sha1 and avoid passing it to us. But a
simple experiment to catch this with a BUG() shows that
there are a large number of code paths that do so.

So in the meantime, let's fix the performance problem by
taking a fast exit from the object lookup when we see a null
sha1. p5551 shows off the improvement (when a fetched ref is
new, the "old" sha1 is 0{40}, which ends up being passed for
fast-forward checks, the status table abbreviations, etc):

ssh: 'simple' variant does not support --portJonathan Nieder Mon, 20 Nov 2017 21:31:01 +0000 (13:31 -0800)

ssh: 'simple' variant does not support --port

When trying to connect to an ssh:// URL with port explicitly specified
and the ssh command configured with GIT_SSH does not support such a
setting, it is less confusing to error out than to silently suppress
the port setting and continue.

This requires updating the GIT_SSH setting in t5603-clone-dirname.sh.
That test is about the directory name produced when cloning various
URLs. It uses an ssh wrapper that ignores all its arguments but does
not declare that it supports a port argument; update it to set
GIT_SSH_VARIANT=ssh to do so. (Real-life ssh wrappers that pass a
port argument to OpenSSH would also support -G and would not require
such an update.)

ssh: 'simple' variant does not support -4/-6

If the user passes -4/--ipv4 or -6/--ipv6 to "git fetch" or "git push"
and the ssh command configured with GIT_SSH does not support such a
setting, error out instead of ignoring the option and continuing.

ssh: 'auto' variant to select between 'ssh' and 'simple'Jonathan Nieder Mon, 20 Nov 2017 21:30:04 +0000 (13:30 -0800)

ssh: 'auto' variant to select between 'ssh' and 'simple'

Android's "repo" tool is a tool for managing a large codebase
consisting of multiple smaller repositories, similar to Git's
submodule feature. Starting with Git 94b8ae5a (ssh: introduce a
'simple' ssh variant, 2017-10-16), users noticed that it stopped
handling the port in ssh:// URLs.

The cause: when it encounters ssh:// URLs, repo pre-connects to the
server and sets GIT_SSH to a helper ".repo/repo/git_ssh" that reuses
that connection. Before 94b8ae5a, the helper was assumed to support
OpenSSH options for lack of a better guess and got passed a -p option
to set the port. After that patch, it uses the new default of a
simple helper that does not accept an option to set the port.

The next release of "repo" will set GIT_SSH_VARIANT to "ssh" to avoid
that. But users of old versions and of other similar GIT_SSH
implementations would not get the benefit of that fix.

So update the default to use OpenSSH options again, with a twist. As
observed in 94b8ae5a, we cannot assume that $GIT_SSH always handles
OpenSSH options: common helpers such as travis-ci's dpl[*] are
configured using GIT_SSH and do not accept OpenSSH options. So make
the default a new variant "auto", with the following behavior:

1. First, check for a recognized basename, like today.

2. If the basename is not recognized, check whether $GIT_SSH supports
OpenSSH options by running

$GIT_SSH -G <options> <host>

This returns status 0 and prints configuration in OpenSSH if it
recognizes all <options> and returns status 255 if it encounters
an unrecognized option. A wrapper script like

exec ssh -- "$@"

would fail with

ssh: Could not resolve hostname -g: Name or service not known

, correctly reflecting that it does not support OpenSSH options.
The command is run with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to
/dev/null so even a command that expects a terminal would exit
immediately.

3. Based on the result from step (2), behave like "ssh" (if it
succeeded) or "simple" (if it failed).

This way, the default ssh variant for unrecognized commands can handle
both the repo and dpl cases as intended.

This autodetection has been running on Google workstations since
2017-10-23 with no reported negative effects.

connect: split ssh option computation to its own functionJonathan Nieder Mon, 20 Nov 2017 21:26:19 +0000 (13:26 -0800)

connect: split ssh option computation to its own function

This puts the determination of options to pass to each ssh variant
(see ssh.variant in git-config(1)) in one place.

A follow-up patch will use this in an initial dry run to detect which
variant to use when the ssh command is ambiguous.

No functional change intended yet.
