git cherry-pick fails when picking a non-ff commit that is empty. The advice
given with the failure is that a git-commit --allow-empty should be issued to
explicitly add the empty commit during the cherry pick. This option allows a
user to specify before hand that they want to keep the empty commit. This
eliminates the need to issue both a cherry pick and a commit operation.

gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately pruned
When we pack everything into one big pack with "git repack
-Ad", any unreferenced objects in to-be-deleted packs are
exploded into loose objects, with the intent that they will
be examined and possibly cleaned up by the next run of "git
prune".
Since the exploded objects will receive the mtime of the
pack from which they come, if the source pack is old, those
loose objects will end up pruned immediately. In that case,
it is much more efficient to skip the exploding step
entirely for these objects.
This patch teaches pack-objects to receive the expiration
information and avoid writing these objects out. It also
teaches "git gc" to pass the value of gc.pruneexpire to
repack (which in turn learns to pass it along to
pack-objects) so that this optimization happens
automatically during "git gc" and "git gc --auto".

The existing label import code looks at each commit being
imported, and then checks for labels at that commit. This
doesn't work in the real world though because it will drop
labels applied on changelists that have already been imported,
a common pattern.
This change adds a new --import-labels option. With this option,
at the end of the sync, git p4 gets sets of labels in p4 and git,
and then creates a git tag for each missing p4 label.
This means that tags created on older changelists are
still imported.
Tags that could not be imported are added to an ignore
list.
The same sets of git and p4 tags and labels can also be used to
derive a list of git tags to export to p4. This is enabled with
--export-labels in 'git p4 submit'.

gitweb: Fix unintended "--no-merges" for regular Atom feed
The print_feed_meta() subroutine generates links for feeds with and

revision: insert unsorted, then sort in prepare_revision_walk()
Speed up prepare_revision_walk() by adding commits without sorting
to the commit_list and at the end sort the list in one go. Thanks
to mergesort() working behind the scenes, this is a lot faster for
large numbers of commits than the current insert sort.
Also introduce and use commit_list_reverse(), to keep the ordering
of commits sharing the same commit date unchanged. That's because
commit_list_insert_by_date() sorts commits with descending date,
but adds later entries with the same date entries last, while
commit_list_insert() always inserts entries at the top. The
following commit_list_sort_by_date() keeps the order of entries
sharing the same date.
Jeff's test case, in a repo with lots of refs, was to run:
# make a new commit on top of HEAD, but not yet referenced
sha1=`git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -p HEAD </dev/null`
# now do the same "connected" test that receive-pack would do
git rev-list --objects $sha1 --not --all

This adds a generic bottom-up mergesort implementation for singly linked
lists. It was inspired by Simon Tatham's webpage on the topic[1], but
not so much by his implementation -- for no good reason, really, just a
case of NIH.
The allocations made by unpack_nondirectories() using create_ce_entry()
are never freed.
In the non-merge case, we duplicate them using add_entry() and later
only look at the first allocated element (src[0]), perhaps even only
by mistake. Split out the actual addition from add_entry() into the
new helper do_add_entry() and call this non-duplicating function
instead of add_entry() to avoid the leak.

Store references hierarchically in a tree that matches the
pseudo-directory structure of the reference names. Add a new kind of
ref_entry (with flag REF_DIR) to represent a whole subdirectory of
references. Sort ref_dirs one subdirectory at a time.
NOTE: the dirs can now be sorted as a side-effect of other function
calls. Therefore, it would be problematic to do something from a
each_ref_fn callback that could provoke the sorting of a directory
that is currently being iterated over (i.e., the directory containing
the entry that is being processed or any of its parents).
This is a bit far-fetched, because a directory is always sorted just
before being iterated over. Therefore, read-only accesses cannot
trigger the sorting of a directory whose iteration has already
started. But if a callback function would add a reference to a parent
directory of the reference in the iteration, then try to resolve a
reference under that directory, a re-sort could be triggered and cause
the iteration to work incorrectly.
Nevertheless...add a comment in refs.h warning against modifications
during iteration.

In builds leaving those settings uncustomized, this patch makes the

of custom builds that change those settings. If you would like your

remote-curl: main test case for the OS command line overflow
This is main test case for the original problem that triggered this
patch series. We create a repo with 50k tags and then test whether
git-clone over the smart HTTP protocol succeeds.
Note that we construct the repo in a slightly different way than the
original script used to reproduce the problem. This is because the
original script just created 50k tags all pointing to the same commit,
so if there was a bug where remote-curl.c was not passing all the refs
to fetch-pack we wouldn't know. The clone would succeed even if only one
tag was passed, because all the other tags were pointing at the same SHA
and would be considered present.
Instead we create a repo with 50k independent (dangling) commits and
then tag each of those commits with a unique tag. This way if one of the
tags is not given to fetch-pack, later stages of the clone would
complain about it.
This allows us to test both that the command line overflow was fixed, as
well as that it was fixed in a way that doesn't leave out any of the
refs.

The syntax for the use of mark references in fast-import
demands either a SP (space) or LF (end-of-line) after
a mark reference. Fast-import does not complain when garbage
appears after a mark reference in some cases.
Factor out parsing of mark references and complain if
errant characters are found. Also be a little more careful
when parsing "inline" and SHA1s, complaining if extra
characters appear or if the form of the dataref is unrecognized.
Buggy input can cause fast-import to produce the wrong output,
silently, without error. This makes it difficult to track
down buggy generators of fast-import streams. An example is
seen in the last line of this commit command:
commit refs/heads/S2
committer Name <name@example.com> 1112912893 -0400
data <<COMMIT
commit message
COMMIT
from :1M 100644 :103 hello.c
It is missing a newline and should be:
[...]
from :1
M 100644 :103 hello.c
What fast-import does is to produce a commit with the same
contents for hello.c as in refs/heads/S2^. What the buggy
program was expecting was the contents of blob :103. While
the resulting commit graph looked correct, the contents in
some commits were wrong.

HTTP authentication is currently handled by get_refs and fetch_ref, but
not by fetch_object, fetch_pack or fetch_alternates. In the
single-threaded case, this is not an issue, since get_refs is always
called first. It recognigzes the 401 and prompts the user for
credentials, which will then be used subsequently.

rebase -i continue: don't skip commits that only change submodules
When git-rebase--interactive stops due to a conflict and the only change
to be committed is in a submodule, the test for whether there is
anything to be committed ignores the staged submodule change. This
leads rebase to skip creating the commit for the change.
While unstaged submodule changes should be ignored to avoid needing to
update submodules during a rebase, it is safe to remove the
--ignore-submodules option to diff-index because --cached ensures that
it is only checking the index. This was discussed in [1] and a test is
included to ensure that unstaged changes are still ignored correctly.
Avoid bug in Solaris xpg4/sed as used in submodule
The sed provided by Solaris in /usr/xpg4/bin has a bug whereby an
unanchored regex using * for zero or more repetitions sees two
separate matches fed to the substitution engine in some cases.
This is evidenced by:
$ for sed in /usr/xpg4/bin/sed /usr/bin/sed /opt/csw/gnu/sed; do \
echo 'ab' | $sed -e 's|[a]*|X|g'; \
done
XXbX
XbX
XbX
This bug was triggered during a git submodule clone operation as
exercised in the setup stage of t5526-fetch-submodules when using the
default SANE_TOOL_PATH for Solaris. It led to paths such as
..../.. being used in the submodule .git gitdir reference.
Using the expression 's|\([^/]*\(/*\)\)|..\2|g' provides the desired
result with all three three tested sed implementations but is harder
to read. As we do not need to handle fully qualified paths though,
the expression could actually be [^/]+ which isn't properly handled
either. Instead, use [^/][^/]*, as suggested by Andreas Schwab, which
works on all three tested sed implementations.
The new expression is semantically different than the original one.
It will not place a leading '..' on a fully qualified path as the
original expression did. All of the paths being passed through this
regex are relative and did not rely on this behaviour so it's a safe
change.

run-command: treat inaccessible directories as ENOENT
When execvp reports EACCES, it can be one of two things:
1. We found a file to execute, but did not have
permissions to do so.
2. We did not have permissions to look in some directory
in the $PATH.
In the former case, we want to consider this a
permissions problem and report it to the user as such (since
getting this for something like "git foo" is likely a
configuration error).
In the latter case, there is a good chance that the
inaccessible directory does not contain anything of
interest. Reporting "permission denied" is confusing to the
user (and prevents our usual "did you mean...?" lookup). It
also prevents git from trying alias lookup, since we do so
only when an external command does not exist (not when it
exists but has an error).
This patch detects EACCES from execvp, checks whether we are
in case (2), and if so converts errno to ENOENT. This
behavior matches that of "bash" (but not of simpler shells
that use execvp more directly, like "dash").

compat/mingw.[ch]: Change return type of exec functions to int
The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec

This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the

push: error out when the "upstream" semantics does not make sense
The user can say "git push" without specifying any refspec. When using
the "upstream" semantics via the push.default configuration, the user
wants to update the "upstream" branch of the current branch, which is the
branch at a remote repository the current branch is set to integrate with,
with this command.
However, there are cases that such a "git push" that uses the "upstream"
semantics does not make sense:
- The current branch does not have branch.$name.remote configured. By
definition, "git push" that does not name where to push to will not
know where to push to. The user may explicitly say "git push $there",
but again, by definition, no branch at repository $there is set to
integrate with the current branch in this case and we wouldn't know
which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have branch.$name.remote configured, but it
does not specify branch.$name.merge that names what branch at the
remote this branch integrates with. "git push" knows where to push in
this case (or the user may explicitly say "git push $remote" to tell us
where to push), but we do not know which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have its remote and upstream branch configured,
but the user said "git push $there", where $there is not the remote
named by "branch.$name.remote". By definition, no branch at repository
$there is set to integrate with the current branch in this case, and
this push is not meant to update any branch at the remote repository
$there.
The first two cases were already checked correctly, but the third case was
not checked and we ended up updating the branch named branch.$name.merge
at repository $there, which was totally bogus.
add--interactive: ignore unmerged entries in patch mode
When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined
diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be
confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there
are other changes to stage (in which case you get the
superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or
not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program
exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes").
The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the
implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly
remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and
print a warning that we are ignoring them.
We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding
"--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run.
There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing
this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a
numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we
would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX'
field. Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must
move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is
sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places,
since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw
entry).

Use SHELL_PATH from build system in run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd
During the testing of the 1.7.10 rc series on Solaris for OpenCSW, it
was discovered that t7006-pager was failing due to finding a bad "sh"
in PATH after a call to execvp("sh", ...). This call was setup by
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd.
The PATH in use at the time saw /opt/csw/bin given precedence to
traditional Solaris paths such as /usr/bin and /usr/xpg4/bin. A
package named schilyutils (Joerg Schilling's utilities) was installed
on the build system and it delivered a modified version of the
traditional Solaris /usr/bin/sh as /opt/csw/bin/sh. This version of
sh suffers from many of the same problems as /usr/bin/sh.
The command-specific pager test failed due to the broken "sh" handling
^ as a pipe character. It tried to fork two processes when it
encountered "sed s/^/foo:/" as the pager command. This problem was
entirely dependent on the PATH of the user at runtime.
Possible fixes for this issue are:
1. Use the standard system() or popen() which both launch a POSIX
shell on Solaris as long as _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
2. The git wrapper could prepend SANE_TOOL_PATH to PATH thus forcing
all unqualified commands run to use the known good tools on the
system.
3. The run_command.c:prepare_shell_command() could use the same
SHELL_PATH that is in the #! line of all all scripts and not rely
on PATH to find the sh to run.
Option 1 would preclude opening a bidirectional pipe to a filter
script and would also break git for Windows as cmd.exe is spawned from
system() (cf. v1.7.5-rc0~144^2, "alias: use run_command api to execute
aliases, 2011-01-07).
Option 2 is not friendly to users as it would negate their ability to
use tools of their choice in many cases. Alternately, injecting
SANE_TOOL_PATH such that it takes precedence over /bin and /usr/bin
(and anything with lower precedence than those paths) as
git-sh-setup.sh does would not solve the problem either as the user
environment could still allow a bad sh to be found. (Many OpenCSW
users will have /opt/csw/bin leading their PATH and some subset would
have schilyutils installed.)
Option 3 allows us to use a known good shell while still honouring the
users' PATH for the utilities being run. Thus, it solves the problem
while not negatively impacting either users or git's ability to run
external commands in convenient ways. Essentially, the shell is a
special case of tool that should not rely on SANE_TOOL_PATH and must
be called explicitly.
With this patch applied, any code path leading to
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd can count on using the same sane shell
that all shell scripts in the git suite use. Both the build system
and run_command.c will default this shell to /bin/sh unless
overridden.

fetch-pack: new --stdin option to read refs from stdin
If a remote repo has too many tags (or branches), cloning it over the
smart HTTP transport can fail because remote-curl.c puts all the refs
from the remote repo on the fetch-pack command line. This can make the
command line longer than the global OS command line limit, causing
fetch-pack to fail.
This is especially a problem on Windows where the command line limit is
orders of magnitude shorter than Linux. There are already real repos out
there that msysGit cannot clone over smart HTTP due to this problem.
Here is an easy way to trigger this problem:
git init too-many-refs
cd too-many-refs
echo bla > bla.txt
git add .
git commit -m test
sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
tag=$(perl -e 'print "bla" x 30')
for i in `seq 50000`; do
echo $sha refs/tags/$tag-$i >> .git/packed-refs
done
Then share this repo over the smart HTTP protocol and try cloning it:
$ git clone http://localhost/.../too-many-refs/.git
Cloning into 'too-many-refs'...
fatal: cannot exec 'fetch-pack': Argument list too long
50k tags is obviously an absurd number, but it is required to
demonstrate the problem on Linux because it has a much more generous
command line limit. On Windows the clone fails with as little as 500
tags in the above loop, which is getting uncomfortably close to the
number of tags you might see in real long lived repos.
This is not just theoretical, msysGit is already failing to clone our
company repo due to this. It's a large repo converted from CVS, nearly
10 years of history.
Four possible solutions were discussed on the Git mailing list (in no
particular order):
1) Call fetch-pack multiple times with smaller batches of refs.
This was dismissed as inefficient and inelegant.
2) Add option --refs-fd=$n to pass a an fd from where to read the refs.
This was rejected because inheriting descriptors other than
stdin/stdout/stderr through exec() is apparently problematic on Windows,
plus it would require changes to the run-command API to open extra
pipes.
3) Add option --refs-from=$tmpfile to pass the refs using a temp file.
This was not favored because of the temp file requirement.
4) Add option --stdin to pass the refs on stdin, one per line.
In the end this option was chosen as the most efficient and most
desirable from scripting perspective.
There was however a small complication when using stdin to pass refs to
fetch-pack. The --stateless-rpc option to fetch-pack also uses stdin for
communication with the remote server.
If we are going to sneak refs on stdin line by line, it would have to be
done very carefully in the presence of --stateless-rpc, because when
reading refs line by line we might read ahead too much data into our
buffer and eat some of the remote protocol data which is also coming on
stdin.
One way to solve this would be to refactor get_remote_heads() in
fetch-pack.c to accept a residual buffer from our stdin line parsing
above, but this function is used in several places so other callers
would be burdened by this residual buffer interface even when most of
them don't need it.
In the end we settled on the following solution:
If --stdin is specified without --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read
the refs from stdin one per line, in a script friendly format.
However if --stdin is specified together with --stateless-rpc,
fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin in packetized format
(pkt-line) with a flush packet terminating the list of refs. This way we
can read the exact number of bytes that we need from stdin, and then
get_remote_heads() can continue reading from the same fd without losing
a single byte of remote protocol data.
This way the --stdin option only loses generality and scriptability when
used together with --stateless-rpc, which is not easily scriptable
anyway because it also uses pkt-line when talking to the remote server.

var doc: default editor and pager are configurable at build time
Some distributors customize the fallback pager and editor used by git
commands when the user has not indicated a preference via the
core.editor/core.pager configuration or GIT_EDITOR, GIT_PAGER, VISUAL,
EDITOR, and PAGER environment variables, and git's build system
provides DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR makefile settings to help
them with that (see v1.6.6-rc0~24, 2009-11-20).
Unfortunately those compile-time settings do not affect the
documentation, so the uninitiated user who tries to understand git by
reading the git-var(1) manpage can easily be confused when git falls
back to 'nano' and 'more' instead of 'vi' and 'less'. Even if the
distributor patches the distributed docs to reflect the new default,
the user may read the official documentation from the git-htmldocs
repository online and be confused in the same way.
Add a few words stating that the defaults are customizable at
compile time to make the behavior crystal clear.

commit: rephrase the error when user did not touch templated log message
When the user exited editor without editing the commit log template given
by "git commit -t <template>", the commit was aborted (correct) with an
error message that said "due to empty commit message" (incorrect).
This was because the original template support was done by piggybacking on
the check to detect an empty log message. Split the codepaths into two
independent checks to clarify the error.
commit: do not trigger bogus "has templated message edited" check
When "-t template" and "-F msg" options are both given (or worse yet,
there is "commit.template" configuration but a message is given in some
other way), the documentation says that template is ignored. However,
the "has the user edited the message?" check still used the contents of
the template file as the basis of the emptyness check.
These tests try to run "git commit" with various "forbidden" combinations
of options and expect the command to fail, but they do so without having
any change added to the index. We wouldn't be able to catch breakages
that would allow these combinations by mistake with them because the
command will fail with "nothing to commit" anyway.
Make sure we have something added to the index before running the command.
The http-backend program sets default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL variables based on the REMOTE_USER and
REMOTE_ADDR variables provided by the webserver. However, it
unconditionally overwrites any existing GIT_COMMITTER
variables, which may have been customized by site-specific
code in the webserver (or in a script wrapping http-backend).
Let's leave those variables intact if they already exist,
assuming that any such configuration was intentional. There
is a slight chance of a regression if somebody has set
GIT_COMMITTER_* for the entire webserver, not intending it
to leak through http-backend. We could protect against this
by passing the information in alternate variables. However,
it seems unlikely that anyone will care about that
regression, and there is value in the simplicity of using
the common variable names that are used elsewhere in git.
While we're tweaking the environment-handling in
http-backend, let's switch it to use argv_array to handle
the list of variables. That makes the memory management much
simpler.

gitweb: add If-Modified-Since handling to git_snapshot().
Because snapshots can be large, you can save some bandwidth by
supporting caching via If-Modified-Since. This patch adds support for
the i-m-s request to git_snapshot() if the request is a commit.
Requests for snapshots of trees, which lack well defined timestamps,
are still handled as they were before.

The current gitweb only generates Last-Modified and handles
If-Modified-Since headers for the git_feed action. This patch breaks
the Last-Modified and If-Modified-Since handling code out from
git_feed into a new function exit_if_unmodified_since. This makes the
code easy to reuse for other actions.
Only gitweb actions which can easily calculate a modification time
should use exit_if_unmodified_since, as the goal is to balance local
processing time vs. upload bandwidth.

push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option
When using this option git will search for all submodules that
have changed in the revisions to be send. It will then try to
push the currently checked out branch of each submodule.
This helps when a user has finished working on a change which
involves submodules and just wants to push everything in one go.

Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequencially
Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the
revision walking api. We add a reset_revision_walk() which clears the
used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks.
We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing
revision walks. This is done to avoid surprises if future code wants to
call these functions more than once during the processes lifetime.
