When "git grep" is run with -P/--perl-regexp, it doesn't match ^ and $ at
the beginning/end of the line. This is because PCRE normally matches ^
and $ at the beginning/end of the whole text, not for each line, and "git
grep" passes a large chunk of text (possibly containing many lines) to
pcre_exec() and then splits the text into lines.
This makes "git grep -P" behave differently from "git grep -E" and also
from "grep -P" and "pcregrep":
$ cat file
a
b
$ git grep --no-index -P '^ ' file
$ git grep --no-index -E '^ ' file
file: b
$ grep -c -P '^ ' file
b
$ pcregrep -c '^ ' file

future submits will go to the wrong place.
Factor out getClientSpec() so both clone/sync and submit can

do not stream large files to pack when filters are in use
Because git's object format requires us to specify the
number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know
the size before streaming a blob into the object database.
This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can
get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use
(such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol
gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will
be.
The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores
filter configuration entirely for files larger than
core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results
if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter
will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain
size. Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with
streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming
optimization when filters are in use.
This has a slight performance regression in a very specific
case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large
binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we
don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or
not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should
be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not
using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as
such). And the flip side is that if you have a large
_non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement;
before we did not apply the conversion at all.
The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures
on input. The second half tests the matching output code
paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any
adjustment.

teach dry-run convert_to_git not to require a src buffer
When we call convert_to_git in dry-run mode, it may still
want to look at the source buffer, because some CRLF
conversion modes depend on analyzing the source to determine
whether it is in fact convertible CRLF text.
However, the main motivation for convert_to_git's dry-run
mode is that we would decide which method to use to acquire
the blob's data (streaming versus in-core). Requiring this
source analysis creates a chicken-and-egg problem. We are
better off simply guessing that anything we can't analyze
will end up needing conversion.
This patch lets a caller specify a NULL src buffer when
using dry-run mode (and only dry-run mode). A non-zero
return value goes from "we would convert" to "we might
convert"; a zero return value remains "we would definitely
not convert".

Some callers may want to know whether convert_to_git will
actually do anything before performing the conversion
itself (e.g., to decide whether to stream or handle blobs
in-core). This patch lets callers specify the dry run mode
by passing a NULL destination buffer. The return value,
instead of indicating whether conversion happened, will
indicate whether conversion would occur.
For readability, we also include a wrapper function which
makes it more obvious we are not actually performing the
conversion.

RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always

git reports that the files have been modified by both sides,
when in fact they haven't.
This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying
a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be
the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4
repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then
has another go at applying the patch.
This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration
option and is off by default.

merge: do not trust fstat(2) too much when checking interactiveness
The heuristic used by "git merge" to decide if it automatically gives an
editor upon clean automerge is to see if the standard input and the
standard output is the same device and is a tty, we are in an interactive
session. "The same device" test was done by comparing fstat(2) result on
the two file descriptors (and they must match), and we asked isatty() only
for the standard input (we insist that they are the same device and there
is no point asking tty-ness of the standard output).
The stat(2) emulation in the Windows port however does not give a usable
value in the st_ino field, so even if the standard output is connected to
something different from the standard input, "The same device" test may
incorrectly return true. To accomodate it, add another isatty() check for
the standard output stream as well.

This was part of the "branch description" feature in the larger
"help people communicate better during their pull based workflow"
topic, but was never documented.
When git spawns a remote helper program (like git-remote-http),
the last thing we do before closing the pipe to the child
process is to send a blank line, telling the helper that we
are done issuing commands. However, the helper may already
have exited, in which case the parent git process will
receive SIGPIPE and die.
In particular, this can happen with the remote-curl helper
when it encounters errors during a push. The helper reports
individual errors for each ref back to git-push, and then
exits with a non-zero exit code. Depending on the exact
timing of the write, the parent process may or may not
receive SIGPIPE.
This causes intermittent test failure in t5541.8, and is a
side effect of 5238cbf (remote-curl: Fix push status report
when all branches fail). Before that commit, remote-curl
would not send the final blank line to indicate that the
list of status lines was complete; it would just exit,
closing the pipe. The parent git-push would notice the
closed pipe while reading the status report and exit
immediately itself, propagating the failing exit code. But
post-5238cbf, remote-curl completes the status list before
exiting, git-push actually runs to completion, and then it
tries to cleanly disconnect the helper, leading to the
SIGPIPE race above.
This patch drops all error-checking when sending the final
"we are about to hang up" blank line to helpers. There is
nothing useful for the parent process to do about errors at
that point anyway, and certainly failing to send our "we are
done with commands" line to a helper that has already exited
is not a problem.

When pushing groups of refs to a remote, there is no simple way to remove
old refs that still exist at the remote that is no longer updated from us.
This will allow us to remove such refs from the remote.
The function match_name_with_pattern() is called twice, once to see if a
pattern matches with the name, and again to learn what the matched pattern
maps the name to. Since check_pattern_match() is only used in one place,
we can just reorganize it to make a single call and fetch the values at
the same time.
This changes the meaning of check_pattern_match() that used to check which
pattern in the array of refspecs matched the given ref, to return the name
of the remote ref the given ref is mapped to.
Rename it to get_ref_match() which actually describes more closely what
it's actually doing now.

If a filter is not defined or if it fails, git should behave as if the
filter is a no-op passthru.
However, if the filter exits before reading all the content, depending on
the timing, git could be killed with SIGPIPE when it tries to write to the
pipe connected to the filter.
Ignore SIGPIPE while processing the filter to give us a chance to check
the return value from a failed write, in order to detect and act on this
mode of failure in a more controlled way.

Commit ff7f218 (gitweb: Fix file links in "grep" search, 2012-01-05),

Unfortunately it made variable defined inside the loop, not taking into

Therefore for files with multiple matches $file_href was undefined for
second and subsequent matches.
Fix this bug by moving $file_href declaration outside loop.

refresh_index: do not show unmerged path that is outside pathspec
When running "git add --refresh <pathspec>", we incorrectly showed the
path that is unmerged even if it is outside the specified pathspec, even
though we did honor pathspec and refreshed only the paths that matched.
Note that this cange does not affect "git update-index --refresh"; for
hysterical raisins, it does not take a pathspec (it takes real paths) and
more importantly itss command line options are parsed and executed one by
one as they are encountered, so "git update-index --refresh foo" means
"first refresh the index, and then update the entry 'foo' by hashing the

gitweb: Fix "heads" view when there is no current branch
In a repository whose HEAD points to an unborn branch with no commits,
"heads" view and "summary" view (which shows what is shown in "heads"
view) compared the object names of commits at the tip of branches with the
output from "git rev-parse HEAD", which caused comparison of a string with
undef and resulted in a warning in the server log.
This can happen if non-bare repository (with default 'master' branch)
is updated not via committing but by other means like push to it, or
Gerrit. It can happen also just after running "git checkout --orphan
<new branch>" but before creating any new commit on this branch.
Rewrite the comparison so that it also works when $head points at nothing;
in such a case, no branch can be "the current branch", add a test for it.
While at it, rename local variable $head to $head_at, as it points to
current commit rather than current branch name (HEAD contents).
The code still incorrectly shows all branches that point at the same
commit as what HEAD points as "the current branch", even when HEAD is
detached. Fixing this bug is outside the scope of this patch.

This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It
tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible,
and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers.
The following points were considered for the implementation:
1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against
each other. They may not have the performance test under
consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure.
To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary
build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions
if it doesn't have them at hand yet.
2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too
long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run;
or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for
discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for
real-world use.
3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely
time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos
is out of the question.
We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test
repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of
those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries
to use the build tree's git.git repository.
This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone
preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such
as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

This is a magic global variable that was intended as an
override to the usual git-config lookup process. Once upon a
time, you could specify GIT_CONFIG to any git program, and
it would look only at that file. This turned out to be
confusing and cause a lot of bugs for little gain. As a
result, dc87183 (Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not
other programs, 2008-06-30) took this away for all callers
except git-config.
Since git-config no longer uses it either, the variable can
just go away. As the diff shows, nobody was setting to
anything except NULL, so we can just replace any sites where
it was read with NULL.

The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set
of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo
config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the
latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename,
and the code in config.c does the right thing.
Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants
of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual
filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a
lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs:
1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look
in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of
repository setup. We already handle this properly for
"git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used
config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a
single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just
works.
2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect
core.editor. This is because just before editing, we
called git_config, which would respect the
config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this
particular git_config call was not about looking in the
user's specified file, but rather about loading actual
git config, just as any other git program would.

config: provide a version of git_config with more options
Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look
for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global
config_exclusive_filename variable. By providing a version of git_config
that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global
go away.
Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a
natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care
about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the
large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git).
The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling
config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added
into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect
config_exclusive_filename. That's OK, because the only other caller of
git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function
which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call
check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug,
anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).

config: teach git_config_set_multivar_in_file a default path
The git_config_set_multivar_in_file function takes a
filename argument to specify the file into which the values
should be written. Currently, this value must be non-NULL.
Callers which want to write to the default location must use
the regular, non-"in_file" version, which will either write
to config_exclusive_filename, or to the repo config if the
exclusive filename is NULL.
Let's migrate the "default to using repo config" logic into
the "in_file" form. That will let callers get the same
default-if-NULL behavior as one gets with
config_exclusive_filename, but without having to use the
global variable.

The prefix_filename function returns a pointer to a static
buffer which may be overwritten by subsequent calls. Since
we are going to keep the result around for a while, let's be
sure to duplicate it for safety.
I don't think this can be triggered as a bug in the current
code, but it's a good idea to be defensive, as any resulting
bug would be quite subtle.
