convert: make apply_filter() adhere to standard Git error handling
apply_filter() returns a boolean that tells the caller if it
"did convert or did not convert". The variable `ret` was used throughout
the function to track errors whereas `1` denoted success and `0`
failure. This is unusual for the Git source where `0` denotes success.
Rename the variable and flip its value to make the function easier
readable for Git developers.

pkt-line: add functions to read/write flush terminated packet streams
write_packetized_from_fd() and write_packetized_from_buf() write a

except for the last one. After the last content packet a `flush` control
packet is written.

Some processes might want to perform cleanup tasks before Git kills them
due to the 'clean_on_exit' flag. Let's give them an interface for doing
this. The feature is used in a subsequent patch.
Please note, that the cleanup callback is not executed if Git dies of a

allowed to be call in that case. Since we cannot control what functions
the callback will use, we will not support the case. See 507d7804 for

If you delete the symbolic-ref HEAD from a repository, Git no longer
considers the repository valid, and even "git symbolic-ref HEAD
refs/heads/master" would not be able to recover from that state
(although "git init" can, but that is a sure sign that you are
talking about a "broken" repository).

corrupting a repository.
submodule: avoid auto-discovery in prepare_submodule_repo_env()
The function is used to set up the environment variable used in a
subprocess we spawn in a submodule directory. The callers set up a
child_process structure, find the working tree path of one submodule
and set .dir field to it, and then use start_command() API to spawn
the subprocess like "status", "fetch", etc.
When this happens, we expect that the ".git" (either a directory or
a gitfile that points at the real location) in the current working
directory of the subprocess MUST be the repository for the submodule.
If this ".git" thing is a corrupt repository, however, because
prepare_submodule_repo_env() unsets GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE, the
subprocess will see ".git", thinks it is not a repository, and
attempt to find one by going up, likely to end up in finding the
repository of the superproject. In some codepaths, this will cause
a command run with the "--recurse-submodules" option to recurse
forever.
By exporting GIT_DIR=.git, disable the auto-discovery logic in the
subprocess, which would instead stop it and report an error.
The test illustrates existing problems in a few callsites of this
function. Without this fix, "git fetch --recurse-submodules", "git
status" and "git diff" keep recursing forever.

allow do_submodule_path to work even if submodule isn't checked out
Currently, do_submodule_path will attempt locating the .git directory by
using read_gitfile on <path>/.git. If this fails it just assumes the
<path>/.git is actually a git directory.
This is good because it allows for handling submodules which were cloned
in a regular manner first before being added to the superproject.
Unfortunately this fails if the <path> is not actually checked out any
longer, such as by removing the directory.
Fix this by checking if the directory we found is actually a gitdir. In
the case it is not, attempt to lookup the submodule configuration and
find the name of where it is stored in the .git/modules/ directory of
the superproject.
If we can't locate the submodule configuration, this might occur because
for example a submodule gitlink was added but the corresponding
.gitmodules file was not properly updated. A die() here would not be
pleasant to the users of submodule diff formats, so instead, modify
do_submodule_path() to return an error code:
- git_pathdup_submodule() returns NULL when we fail to find a path.
- strbuf_git_path_submodule() propagates the error code to the caller.
Modify the callers of these functions to check the error code and fail
properly. This ensures we don't attempt to use a bad path that doesn't
match the corresponding submodule.
Because this change fixes add_submodule_odb() to work even if the
submodule is not checked out, update the wording of the submodule log
diff format to correctly display that the submodule is "not initialized"
instead of "not checked out"
Add tests to ensure this change works as expected.

Add an extension to git-diff and git-log (and any other graph-aware

This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it

This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which

"diff/log --stat" has a logic that determines the display columns

added the output_prefix_length field to diff_options structure to
allow this logic to subtract the display columns used for the
history graph part from the total "terminal width"; this matters
when the "git log --graph -p" option is in use.
The field must be set to the number of display columns needed to
show the output from the output_prefix() callback, which is error

actual value of the prefix string, let's get rid of the field and

Compiling color.c with gcc 6.2.0 using -O3 produces some
-Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives:
color.c: In function ‘color_parse_mem’:
color.c:189:10: warning: ‘bg.blue’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
out += xsnprintf(out, len, "%c8;2;%d;%d;%d", type,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c->red, c->green, c->blue);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
color.c:208:15: note: ‘bg.blue’ was declared here
struct color bg = { COLOR_UNSPECIFIED };
^~
[ditto for bg.green, bg.red, fg.blue, etc]
This is doubly confusing, because the declaration shows it
being initialized! Even though we do not explicitly
initialize the color components, an incomplete initializer
sets the unmentioned members to zero.
What the warning doesn't show is that we later do this:
struct color c;
if (!parse_color(&c, ...)) {
if (fg.type == COLOR_UNSPECIFIED)
fg = c;
...
}
gcc is clever enough to realize that a struct assignment
from an uninitialized variable taints the destination. But
unfortunately it's _not_ clever enough to realize that we
only look at those members when type is set to COLOR_RGB, in
which case they are always initialized.
With -O2, gcc does not look into parse_color() and must
assume that "c" emerges fully initialized. With -O3, it
inlines parse_color(), and learns just enough to get
confused.
We can silence the false positive by initializing the
temporary "c". This also future-proofs us against
violating the type assumptions (the result would probably
still be buggy, but in a deterministic way).

error_errno: use constant return similar to error()
Commit e208f9c (make error()'s constant return value more
visible, 2012-12-15) introduced some macro trickery to make
the constant return from error() more visible to callers,
which in turn can help gcc produce better warnings (and
possibly even better code).
Later, fd1d672 (usage.c: add warning_errno() and
error_errno(), 2016-05-08) introduced another variant, and
subsequent commits converted some uses of error() to
error_errno(), losing the magic from e208f9c for those
sites.
As a result, compiling vcs-svn/svndiff.c with "gcc -O3"
produces -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives (at least
with gcc 6.2.0). Let's give error_errno() the same
treatment, which silences these warnings.

The algorithm in diff-highlight only understands how to look
at two sides of a diff; it cannot correctly handle combined
diffs with multiple preimages. Often highlighting does not
trigger at all for these diffs because the line counts do
not match up. E.g., if we see:
- ours
-theirs
++resolved
we would not bother highlighting; it naively looks like a
single line went away, and then a separate hunk added
another single line.
But of course there are exceptions. E.g., if the other side
deleted the line, we might see:
- ours
++resolved
which looks like we dropped " ours" and added "+resolved".
This is only a small highlighting glitch (we highlight the
space and the "+" along with the content), but it's also the
tip of the iceberg. Even if we learned to find the true
content here (by noticing we are in a 3-way combined diff

uninteresting), there are other more complicated cases where
we really do need to handle a 3-way hunk.
Let's just punt for now; we can recognize combined diffs by
the presence of extra "@" symbols in the hunk header, and
treat them as non-diff content.

Now that we have a test suite for diff highlight, we can
show off the improvements from 8d00662 (diff-highlight: do
not split multibyte characters, 2015-04-03).
While we're at it, we can also add another case that
_doesn't_ work: combining code points are treated as their
own unit, which means that we may stick colors between them
and the character they are modifying (with the result that
the color is not shown in an xterm, though it's possible
that other terminals err the other way, and show the color
but not the accent). There's no fix here, but let's
document it as a failure.
