Merge branch 'jc/test-parse-options-expect'

t0040 had too many unnecessary repetitions in its test data. Teach
test-parse-options program so that a caller can tell what it
expects in its output, so that these repetitions can be cleaned up.

Merge branch 'nd/worktree-various-heads'Junio C Hamano Mon, 23 May 2016 21:54:29 +0000 (14:54 -0700)

Merge branch 'nd/worktree-various-heads'

The experimental "multiple worktree" feature gains more safety to
forbid operations on a branch that is checked out or being actively
worked on elsewhere, by noticing that e.g. it is being rebased.

* nd/worktree-various-heads:
branch: do not rename a branch under bisect or rebase

Merge branch 'ss/commit-dry-run-resolve-merge-to-no-op'Junio C Hamano Mon, 23 May 2016 21:54:28 +0000 (14:54 -0700)

Merge branch 'ss/commit-dry-run-resolve-merge-to-no-op'

"git commit --dry-run" reported "No, no, you cannot commit." in one
case where "git commit" would have allowed you to commit, and this
improves it a little bit ("git commit --dry-run --short" still does
not give you the correct answer, for example). This is a stop-gap
measure in that "commit --short --dry-run" still gives an incorrect
result.

* ss/commit-dry-run-resolve-merge-to-no-op:
wt-status.c: set commitable bit if there is a meaningful merge.

Merge branch 'da/user-useconfigonly' into HEAD

The "user.useConfigOnly" configuration variable makes it an error
if users do not explicitly set user.name and user.email. However,
its check was not done early enough and allowed another error to
trigger, reporting that the default value we guessed from the
system setting was unusable. This was a suboptimal end-user
experience as we want the users to set user.name/user.email without
relying on the auto-detection at all.

Running tests with '-x' option to trace the individual command
executions is a useful way to debug test scripts, but some tests
that capture the standard error stream and check what the command
said can be broken with the trace output mixed in. When running

i18n: unpack-trees: avoid substituting only a verb in sentences

Instead of reusing the same set of message templates for checkout
and other actions and substituting the verb with "%s", prepare
separate message templates for each known action. That would make
it easier for translation into languages where the same verb may
conjugate differently depending on the message we are giving.

test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automaticallyJeff King Wed, 11 May 2016 13:44:04 +0000 (09:44 -0400)

test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automatically

Passing "-x" to a test script enables the shell's "set -x"
tracing, which can help with tracking down the command that
is causing a failure. Unfortunately, it can also _cause_
failures in some tests that redirect the stderr of a shell
function. Inside the function the shell continues to
respect "set -x", and the trace output is collected along
with whatever stderr is generated normally by the function.

You can see an example of this by running:

./t0040-parse-options.sh -x -i

which will fail immediately in the first test, as it
expects:

test_must_fail some-cmd 2>output.err

to leave output.err empty (but with "-x" it has our trace
output).

Unfortunately there isn't a portable or scalable solution to
this. We could teach test_must_fail to disable "set -x", but
that doesn't help any of the other functions or subshells.

However, we can work around it by pointing the "set -x"
output to our descriptor 4, which always points to the
original stderr of the test script. Unfortunately this only
works for bash, but it's better than nothing (and other
shells will just ignore the BASH_XTRACEFD variable).

The patch itself is a simple one-liner, but note the caveats
in the accompanying comments.

Automatic tests for our "-x" option may be a bit too meta
(and a pain, because they are bash-specific), but I did
confirm that it works correctly both with regular "-x" and
with "--verbose-only=1". This works because the latter flips
"set -x" off and on for particular tests (if it didn't, we
would get tracing for all tests, as going to descriptor 4
effectively circumvents the verbose flag).

Windows: only add a no-op pthread_sigmask() when needed

In f924b52 (Windows: add pthread_sigmask() that does nothing,
2016-05-01), we introduced a no-op for Windows. However, this breaks
building Git in Git for Windows' SDK because pthread_sigmask() is
already a no-op there, #define'd in the pthread_signal.h header in
/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/.

Let's wrap the definition of pthread_sigmask() in a guard that skips
it when compiling with MinGW-w64' headers.

mingw: remove unnecessary definition

For some reason, the definition of the MINGW version of
`mark_as_git_dir()` slipped into this developer's patch series to
support building Git for Windows.

As the `mark_as_git_dir()` function is not needed at all anymore (it was
used originally to support the core.hideDotFiles = gitDirOnly setting,
but we now use a different method to support that case), let's just
remove it.

mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' settingJohannes Schindelin Wed, 11 May 2016 08:43:37 +0000 (10:43 +0200)

mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting

On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.

On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.

In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.

Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.

The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).

In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.

Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.

A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().

The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

For details how ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED can be triggered, see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363858

rebase--interactive: avoid empty list in shell for... Jeff King Tue, 10 May 2016 21:07:10 +0000 (17:07 -0400)

rebase--interactive: avoid empty list in shell for-loop

The $strategy_opts variable contains a space-separated list
of strategy options, each individually shell-quoted. To loop
over each, we "unwrap" them by doing an eval like:

eval '
for opt in '"$strategy_opts"'
do
...
done
'

Note the quoting that means we expand $strategy_opts inline
in the code to be evaluated (which is the right thing
because we want the IFS-split and de-quoting). If the
variable is empty, however, we ask the shell to eval the
following code:

for opt in
do
...
done

without anything between "in" and "do". Most modern shells
are happy to treat that like a noop, but reportedly ksh88 on
AIX considers it a syntax error. So let's catch the case
that the variable is empty and skip the eval altogether
(since we know the loop would be a noop anyway).

test-parse-options: fix output when callback option fails

When test-parse-options detects an error on the command line, it
gives the usage string just like any parse-options API users do,
without showing any "variable dump". An exception is the callback
test, where a "variable dump" for the option is done before the
command line options are fully parsed.

Do not expose this implementation detail by separating the handling
of callback test into two phases, one to capture the fact that an
option was given during the option parsing phase, and the other to
show that fact as a part of normal "variable dump".

The effect of this fix is seen in the patch to t/t0040 where it
tried "test-parse-options --no-length" where "--length" is a callback
that does not take a negative form.

t5551: make the test for extra HTTP headers more robust

To test that extra HTTP headers are passed correctly, t5551 verifies that
a fetch succeeds when two required headers are passed, and that the fetch
does not succeed when those headers are not passed.

However, this test would also succeed if the configuration required only
one header. As Apache's configuration is notoriously tricky (this
developer frequently requires StackOverflow's help to understand Apache's
documentation), especially when still supporting the 2.2 line, let's just
really make sure that the test verifies what we want it to verify.

To let the tests pass with Apache 2.2 again, let's substitute the
offending <RequireAll> and `expr` by using old school RewriteCond
statements.

As RewriteCond does not allow testing for *non*-matches, we simply match
the desired case first and let it pass by marking the RewriteRule as
'[L]' ("last rule, do not process any other matching RewriteRules after
this"), and then have another RewriteRule that matches all other cases
and lets them fail via '[F]' ("fail").

the changes in textual form, and tools like "git log" are designed to
treat the payload as text.

Detect and warn when we see any commit object with a NUL byte in
it.

Note that a NUL byte in the header part is already detected as a
grave error. This change is purely about the message part.

Documentation: fix linkgit references

There are a handful of incorrect "linkgit:<page>[<section>]"
instances in our documentation set.

* Some have an extra colon after "linkgit:"; fix them by removing
the extra colon;

* Some refer to a page outside the Git suite, namely curl(1); fix
them by using the `curl(1)` that already appears on the same page
for the same purpose of referring the readers to its manual page.

* Some spell the name of the page incorrectly, e.g. "rev-list" when
they mean "git-rev-list"; fix them.

* Some list the manual section incorrectly; fix them to make sure
they match what is at the top of the target of the link.

t6036: remove pointless test that expects failureJunio C Hamano Wed, 27 Apr 2016 22:05:57 +0000 (15:05 -0700)

t6036: remove pointless test that expects failure

One test in t6036 prepares a file whose contents contain these
lines:

<<<<<<< Temporary merge branch 1
C
=======
B
>>>>>>> Temporary merge branch 2

and uses recursive merge strategy to run criss-cross merge with it.

Manual merge resolution by users fundamentally depends on being able
to distinguish the tracked contents from the separator lines added
by "git merge" in order to allow users to tell which block of lines
came from where. You can deliberately craft a file with lines that
resemble conflict marker lines to make it impossible for the user
(the outer merge of merge-recursive counts as a user of the result
of "virtual parent" merge) to tell which part is which, and write a
test to demonstrate that with such a file that "git merge" cannot
fundamentally work well and has to fail.

It however is pointless and waste of time and resource to run such a
test that asserts the obvious.

In real life, people who do need to track files with such lines that
have <<<< ==== >>>> as their prefixes set the conflict-marker-size
attribute to make sure they will be able to tell between the tracked
lines that happen to begin with these (confusing) prefixes and the
marker lines that are added by "git merge".

Remove the test as pointless waste of resource.

ll-merge: use a longer conflict marker for internal... Junio C Hamano Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:35:09 +0000 (15:35 -0700)

ll-merge: use a longer conflict marker for internal merge

The primary use of conflict markers is to help the user who resolves
the final (outer) merge by hand to show which part came from which
branch by separating the blocks of lines apart. When the conflicted
parts from a "virtual ancestor" merge created by merge-recursive
remains in the common ancestor part in the final result, however,
the conflict markers that are the same size as the final merge
become harder to see.

Increase the conflict marker size slightly for these inner merges so
that the markers from the final merge and cruft from internal merge
can be distinguished more easily.

This would help reduce the common issue that prevents "rerere" from
being used on a really complex conflict.
