gitweb: Better chopping in commit search results

When searching commit messages (commit search), if matched string is
too long, the generated HTML was munged leading to an ill-formed XHTML
document.

Now gitweb chop leading, trailing and matched parts, HTML escapes
those parts, then composes and marks up match info. HTML output is
never chopped. Limiting matched info to 80 columns (with slop) is now
done by dividing remaining characters after chopping match equally to
leading and trailing part, not by chopping composed and HTML marked
output.

hash-object: cleanup handling of command line options

git hash-object used to process the --stdin command line argument
before reading subsequent arguments. This caused 'git hash-object
--stdin -w' to fail to actually write the object into the
database, while '-w --stdin' properly did. Now git hash-object
first reads all arguments, and then processes them.

This regresses one insane use case. git hash-object used to allow
multiple --stdin arguments on the command line:

$ git hash-object --stdin --stdin
foo
^D
bar
^D

Now git hash-object errors out if --stdin is given more than once.

git-gui: Avoid hardcoded Windows paths in Cygwin package files

When we are being built by the Cygwin package maintainers we need to
embed the POSIX path to our library files and not the Windows path.
Embedding the Windows path means all end-users who install our Cygwin
package would be required to install Cygwin at the same Windows path
as the package maintainer had Cygwin installed to. This requirement
is simply not user-friendly and may be infeasible for a large number
of our users.

We now try to auto-detect if the Tcl/Tk binary we will use at runtime
is capable of translating POSIX paths into Windows paths the same way
that cygpath does the translations. If the Tcl/Tk binary gives us the
same results then it understands the Cygwin path translation process
and should be able to read our library files from a POSIX path name.

If it does not give us the same answer as cygpath then the Tcl/Tk
binary might actually be a native Win32 build (one that is not
linked against Cygwin) and thus requires the native Windows path
to our library files. We can assume this is not a Cygwin package
as the Cygwin maintainers do not currently ship a pure Win32 build
of Tcl/Tk.

git-gui: Default TCL_PATH to same location as TCLTK_PATH

Most users set TCLTK_PATH to tell git-gui where to find wish, but they
fail to set TCL_PATH to the same Tcl installation. We use the non-GUI
tclsh during builds so headless systems are still able to create an
index file and create message files without GNU msgfmt. So it matters
to us that we find a working TCL_PATH at build time.

If TCL_PATH hasn't been set yet we can take a better guess about what
tclsh executable to use by replacing 'wish' in the executable path with
'tclsh'. We only do this replacement on the filename part of the path,
just in case the string "wish" appears in the directory paths. Most of
the time the tclsh will be installed alongside wish so this replacement
is a sensible and safe default.

git-gui: Catch and display aspell startup failures to the user

If we feed a bad dictionary name to aspell on startup it may appear
to start (as Tcl found the executable in our $PATH) but it fails to
give us the version string. In such a case the close of the pipe
will report the exit status of the process (failure) and that is
an error in Tcl.

We now trap the subprocess failure and display the stderr message
from it, letting the user know why the failure is happening. We then
disable the spell checker, but keep our object instance so the user
can alter their preferred dictionary through the options dialog, and
possibly restart the spell checker.

I was also originally wrong to use "error" here for the display
of the problem to the user. I meant to use "error_popup", which
will open a message box and show the failure in a GUI context,
rather than killing git-gui and showing the message on the console.

corrected and/or cleaned up by users through an aspell wrapper

rewriting previously added in builtin-push.

cvsexportcommit: be graceful when "cvs status" reorders the arguments

In my use cases, "cvs status" sometimes reordered the passed filenames,
which often led to a misdetection of a dirty state (when it was in
reality a clean state).

I finally tracked it down to two filenames having the same basename.

So no longer trust the order of the results blindly, but actually check
the file name.

Since "cvs status" only returns the basename (and the complete path on the
server which is useless for our purposes), run "cvs status" several times
with lists consisting of files with unique (chomped) basenames.

Be a bit clever about new files: these are reported as "no file <blabla>",
so in order to discern it from existing files, prepend "no file " to the
basename.

In other words, one call to "cvs status" will not ask for two files
"blabla" (which does not yet exist) and "no file blabla" (which exists).

This patch makes cvsexportcommit slightly slower, when the list of changed
files has non-unique basenames, but at least it is accurate now.

in tla when I say yum install git! You wouldn't expect yum install gcc
to pull in gcc-gfortran, right?

With this change, and blanket 'yum update' will automatically pull in the
new 'git' package and push out the old 'git-core', and if the old 'git'
package was installed 'git-all' will be pulled in instead. A couple of
things do break though: 'yum update git-core', because yum behaves
differently when given a specific package name - it doesn't follow obsoletes.

Instead, 'yum install git' will pull in the new git rpm, which will then
push out the old 'git-core'. Similarly, to get the newest version of
the meta package, 'yum install git-all' will install git-all, which then
pushes out the old 'git' meta package.

gitweb: Fix bug in href(..., -replay=>1) when using 'pathinfo' form

URLs generated by href(..., -replay=>1) (which includes 'next page'
links and alternate view links) didn't set project info correctly
when current page URL is in pathinfo form.

This resulted in broken links such like:

http://www.example.com/w/ARRAY(0x85a5318)?a=shortlog;pg=1

if the 'pathinfo' feature was used, or

http://www.example.com/w/?a=shortlog;pg=1

if it wasn't, instead of correct:

http://www.example.com/w/project.git?a=shortlog;pg=1

This was caused by the fact that href() always replays params in the
arrayref form, were they multivalued or singlevalued, and the code
dealing with 'pathinfo' feature couldn't deal with $params{'project'}
being arrayref.

Setting $params{'project'} is moved before replaying params; this
ensures that 'project' parameter is processed correctly.

branch: optionally setup branch.*.merge from upstream local branches

"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.

The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.

Includes test cases for the new functionality.

Documentation/push: clarify matching refspec behavior

The previous text was correct, but it was easy to miss the
fact that we are talking about "matching" refs. That is, the
text can be parsed as "we push the union of the sets
of remote and local heads" and not "we push the intersection
of the sets of remote and local heads". (The former actually
doesn't make sense if you think about it, since we don't
even _have_ some of those heads). A careful reading would
reveal the correct meaning, but it makes sense to be as
explicit as possible in documentation.

We also explicitly use and introduce the term "matching";
this is a term discussed on the list, and it seems useful
to for users to be able to refer to this behavior by name.

push: indicate partialness of error messageJeff King Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:25:01 +0000 (11:25 -0500)

push: indicate partialness of error message

The existing message indicates that an error occured during
push, but it is unclear whether _any_ refs were actually
pushed (even though the status table above shows which were
pushed successfully and which were not, the message "failed
to push" implies a total failure). By indicating that "some
refs" failed, we hopefully indicate to the user that the
table above contains the details.

We could also put in an explicit "see above for details"
message, but it seemed to clutter the output quite a bit
(both on a line of its own, or at the end of the error line,
which inevitably wraps).

This could also be made more fancy if the transport
mechanism passed back more details on how many refs
succeeded and failed:

error: failed to push %d out of %d refs to '%s'

xdl_merge(): introduce XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM

When a merge conflicts, there are often common lines that are not really
common, such as empty lines or lines containing a single curly bracket.

With XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM, we use the following heuristics: when a
hunk does not contain any letters or digits, it is treated as conflicting.

In other words, a conflict which used to look like this:

<<<<<<<
a = 1;
=======
output();
>>>>>>>
}
}
}

<<<<<<<
output();
=======
b = 1;
>>>>>>>

will look like this with ZEALOUS_ALNUM:

<<<<<<<
a = 1;
}
}
}

output();
=======
output();
}
}
}

b = 1;
>>>>>>>

To demonstrate this, git-merge-file has been switched from
XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS to XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM.

xdl_merge(): make XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS output simpler

When a merge conflicts, there are often less than three common lines
between two conflicting regions.

Since a conflict takes up as many lines as are conflicting, plus three
lines for the commit markers, the output will be shorter (and thus,
simpler) in this case, if the common lines will be merged into the
conflicting regions.

This patch merges up to three common lines into the conflicts.

For example, what looked like this before this patch:

<<<<<<<
if (a == 1)
=======
if (a != 0)
>>>>>>>
{
int i;
<<<<<<<
a = 0;
=======
a = !a;
>>>>>>>

will now look like this:

<<<<<<<
if (a == 1)
{
int i;
a = 0;
=======
if (a != 0)
{
int i;
a = !a;
>>>>>>>

While at it fix whitespace, and use ';' as delimiter, not separator.

SECURITYSESSIONID is not set automatically on MacOSX when ssh'ing into it.
So this patch should be safe.

sending errors to stdout under $PAGER

If you do this (and you are not an Emacs user who uses PAGER=cat
in your *shell* buffer):

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
$ echo hello world >foo
$ H=$(git hash-object -w foo)
$ git tag -a foo-tag -m "Tags $H" $H
$ echo $H
3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
$ rm -f .git/objects/3b/18e5*
$ git show foo-tag
tag foo-tag
Tagger: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date: Sat Feb 16 10:43:23 2008 -0800

Tags 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad

you do not get any indication of error. If you are careful, you
would notice that no contents from the tagged object is
displayed, but that is about it. If you run the "show" command
without pager, however, you will see the error:

$ git --no-pager show foo-tag
tag foo-tag
Tagger: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date: Sat Feb 16 10:43:23 2008 -0800

Tags 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
error: Could not read object 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad

Because we spawn the pager as the foreground process and feed
its input via pipe from the real command, we cannot affect the
exit status the shell sees from git command when the pager is in
use (I think there is not much gain we can have by working it
around, though). But at least it may make sense to show the
error message to the user sitting in front of the pager.

[jc: Edgar Toernig suggested a much nicer implementation than
what I originally posted, which I took.]
