reencode_string(): introduce and use same_encoding()Junio C Hamano Fri, 19 Oct 2012 05:41:56 +0000 (22:41 -0700)

reencode_string(): introduce and use same_encoding()

Callers of reencode_string() that re-encodes a string from one
encoding to another all used ad-hoc way to bypass the case where the
input and the output encodings are the same. Some did strcmp(),
some did strcasecmp(), yet some others when converting to UTF-8 used
is_encoding_utf8().

Introduce same_encoding() helper function to make these callers use
the same logic. Notably, is_encoding_utf8() has a work-around for
common misconfiguration to use "utf8" to name UTF-8 encoding, which
does not match "UTF-8" hence strcasecmp() would not consider the
same. Make use of it in this helper function.

cvsimport: work around perl tzset issueJeff King Sun, 4 Nov 2012 12:25:36 +0000 (07:25 -0500)

cvsimport: work around perl tzset issue

On many platforms, the first invocation of localtime_r will
check $TZ in the environment, but subsequent invocations
will use a cached value. That means that setting $ENV{TZ} in
the middle of the program may or may not have an effect on
later calls to localtime. Perl 5.10.0 and later handles
this automatically for us, but we try to remain portable
back to 5.8. Work around it by calling tzset ourselves.

strbuf_split*(): rename "delim" parameter to "terminator"

The word "delimiter" suggests that the argument separates the
substrings, whereas in fact (1) the delimiter characters are included
in the output, and (2) if the input string ends with the delimiter,
then the output does not include a final empty string. So rename the
"delim" arguments of the strbuf_split() family of functions to
"terminator", which is more suggestive of how it is used.

strbuf_split_buf(): simplify iteration

While iterating, update str and slen to keep track of the part of the
string that hasn't been processed yet rather than computing things
relative to the start of the original string. This eliminates one
local variable, reduces the scope of another, and reduces the amount
of arithmetic needed within the loop.

Use ALLOC_GROW() rather than inline code to manage memory in

did not break anything because the orig_flags logic is not needed at all
when a function from the submodule script is called with eval, as that
inherits all the variables set by the option parsing done in the first
level of the recursion.

Now that we know that orig_flags and orig_args aren't needed at all,
let's just remove them from cmd_status().

t7407: Fix recursive submodule test

A test in t7404-submodule-foreach purports to test that
the --cached flag is properly noticed by --recursive calls
to the foreach command as it descends into nested
submodules. However, the test really does not perform this
test since the change it looks for is in a top-level
submodule handled by the first invocation of the command.
To properly test for the flag being passed to recursive
invocations, the change must be buried deeper in the
hierarchy.

Move the change one level deeper so it properly verifies
the recursive machinery of the 'git submodule status'
command.

parse_dirstat_params(): use string_list to split comma... Michael Haggerty Sun, 28 Oct 2012 16:50:54 +0000 (17:50 +0100)

parse_dirstat_params(): use string_list to split comma-separated string

Use string_list_split_in_place() to split the comma-separated
parameters string. This simplifies the code and also fixes a bug: the
old code made calls like

memcmp(p, "lines", p_len)

which needn't work if p_len is different than the length of the
constant string (and could illegally access memory if p_len is larger
than the length of the constant string).

When p_len was less than the length of the constant string, the old
code would have allowed some abbreviations to be accepted (e.g., "cha"
for "changes") but this seems to have been a bug rather than a
feature, because (1) it is not documented; (2) no attempt was made to
handle ambiguous abbreviations, like "c" for "changes" vs
"cumulative".

diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted filesJeff King Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:40:00 +0000 (07:40 -0400)

diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted files

If you use "-G" to grep a diff, we will apply a configured
textconv filter to the data before generating the diff.
However, if the diff is an addition or deletion, we do not
bother running the diff at all, and just look for the token
in the added (or removed) content. This works because we
know that the diff must contain every line of content.

However, while we used the textconv-derived buffers in the
regular diff, we accidentally passed the original unmodified
buffers to regexec when checking the added or removed
content. This could lead to an incorrect answer.

Worse, in some cases we might have a textconv buffer but no
original buffer (e.g., if we pulled the textconv data from
cache, or if we reused a working tree file when generating
it). In that case, we could actually feed NULL to regexec
and segfault.

Fix potential hang in https handshakeStefan Zager Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:04:20 +0000 (14:04 -0700)

Fix potential hang in https handshake

It has been observed that curl_multi_timeout may return a very long
timeout value (e.g., 294 seconds and some usec) just before
curl_multi_fdset returns no file descriptors for reading. The
upshot is that select() will hang for a long time -- long enough for
an https handshake to be dropped. The observed behavior is that
the git command will hang at the terminal and never transfer any
data.

This patch is a workaround for a probable bug in libcurl. The bug
only seems to manifest around a very specific set of circumstances:

- curl version (from curl/curlver.h):

#define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM 0x071307

- git-remote-https running on an ubuntu-lucid VM.
- Connecting through squid proxy running on another VM.

Interestingly, the problem doesn't manifest if a host connects
through squid proxy running on localhost; only if the proxy is on
a separate VM (not sure if the squid host needs to be on a separate
physical machine). That would seem to suggest that this issue
is timing-sensitive.

This patch is more or less in line with a recommendation in the
curl docs about how to behave when curl_multi_fdset doesn't return
and file descriptors:

It also avoids using "tr", which has had some odd

status: add --long output format optionJeff King Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:15:50 +0000 (21:15 +0700)

status: add --long output format option

You can currently set the output format to --short or
--porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it
already. However, you may want to override an alias that
uses "--short" to get back to the default.

This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently
we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as
"the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum
to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between
the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these
conditions:

1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we
currently default to turning on the porcelain mode.
With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL
termination with the long mode, but it does not support
it. So we can just complain and die.

2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we
default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in
when "--long" is given, too.

branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branchesRené Scharfe Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:07:11 +0000 (14:07 +0200)

branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branches

Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid
commit. With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this
check is not done with -D.

The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should
never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better
to stop instead of adding to the mess. And a non-merged commit
may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the
stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them.

If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply.
Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced,
so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is
actually a valid commit. Skip them in that case. This allows
us to delete dangling symref branches.

branch: delete symref branch, not its targetRené Scharfe Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:05:17 +0000 (14:05 +0200)

branch: delete symref branch, not its target

If a branch that is to be deleted happens to be a symref to another
branch, the current code removes the targeted branch instead of the
one it was called for.

Change this surprising behaviour and delete the symref branch
instead.
