pull: fast-forward "pull --rebase=true"

"git pull --rebase" always runs "git rebase" after fetching the
commit to serve as the new base, even when the new base is a
descendant of the current HEAD, i.e. we haven't done any work.

In such a case, we can instead fast-forward to the new base without
invoking the rebase process.

sequencer: use trailer's trailer layoutJonathan Tan Wed, 2 Nov 2016 17:29:20 +0000 (10:29 -0700)

sequencer: use trailer's trailer layout

Make sequencer use trailer.c's trailer layout definition, as opposed to
parsing the footer by itself. This makes "commit -s", "cherry-pick -x",
and "format-patch --signoff" consistent with trailer, allowing
non-trailer lines and multiple-line trailers in trailer blocks under
certain conditions, and therefore suppressing the extra newline in those
cases.

Consistency with trailer extends to respecting trailer configs. Tests
have been included to show that.

Create a function that, taking a string, describes the position of its

use it. This makes it easier for other Git components, in the future, to
interpret trailer blocks in the same way as trailer.

In a subsequent patch, another component will be made to use this.

trailer: avoid unnecessary splitting on linesJonathan Tan Wed, 2 Nov 2016 17:29:18 +0000 (10:29 -0700)

trailer: avoid unnecessary splitting on lines

trailer.c currently splits lines while processing a buffer (and also
rejoins lines when needing to invoke ignore_non_trailer).

Avoid such line splitting, except when generating the strings
corresponding to trailers (for ease of use by clients - a subsequent
patch will allow other components to obtain the layout of a trailer
block in a buffer, including the trailers themselves). The main purpose
of this is to make it easy to return pointers into the original buffer
(for a subsequent patch), but this also significantly reduces the number
of memory allocations required.

common-main: stop munging argv[0] pathJeff King Sun, 27 Nov 2016 04:31:13 +0000 (23:31 -0500)

common-main: stop munging argv[0] path

Since 650c44925 (common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path(),
2016-07-01), the argv[0] that is seen in cmd_main() of
individual programs is always the basename of the
executable, as common-main strips off the full path. This
can produce confusing results for git-daemon, which wants to
re-exec itself.

For instance, if the program was originally run as
"/usr/lib/git/git-daemon", it will try just re-execing
"git-daemon", which will find the first instance in $PATH.
If git's exec-path has not been prepended to $PATH, we may
find the git-daemon from a different version (or no
git-daemon at all).

Normally this isn't a problem. Git commands are run as "git
daemon", the git wrapper puts the exec-path at the front of
$PATH, and argv[0] is already "daemon" anyway. But running
git-daemon via its full exec-path, while not really a
recommended method, did work prior to 650c44925. Let's make
it work again.

The real goal of 650c44925 was not to munge argv[0], but to
reliably set the argv0_path global. The only reason it
munges at all is that one caller, the git.c wrapper,
piggy-backed on that computation to find the command
basename. Instead, let's leave argv[0] untouched in
common-main, and have git.c do its own basename computation.

While we're at it, let's drop the return value from
git_extract_argv0_path(). It was only ever used in this one
callsite, and its dual purposes is what led to this
confusion in the first place.

Note that by changing the interface, the compiler can
confirm for us that there are no other callers storing the
return value. But the compiler can't tell us whether any of
the cmd_main() functions (besides git.c) were relying on the
basename munging. However, we can observe that prior to
650c44925, no other cmd_main() functions did that munging,
and no new cmd_main() functions have been introduced since
then. So we can't be regressing any of those cases.

Note that we don't use test_when_finished here, and instead
just make rmdir part of the &&-chain. We should only remove
something that we're confident we just created. A failure in

mergetools/vimdiff: trust Vim's exit code

Allow vimdiff users to signal that they do not want to use the
result of a merge by exiting with ":cquit", which tells Vim to
exit with an error code.

This is better than the current behavior because it allows users
to directly flag that the merge is bad, using a standard Vim
feature, rather than relying on a timestamp heuristic that is
unforgiving to users that save in-progress merge files.

The original behavior can be restored by configuring
mergetool.vimdiff.trustExitCode to false.

mergetool: honor mergetool.$tool.trustExitCode for built-in tools

Built-in merge tools contain a hard-coded assumption about
whether or not a tool's exit code can be trusted to determine
the success or failure of a merge. Tools whose exit codes are
not trusted contain calls to check_unchanged() in their
merge_cmd() functions.

A problem with this is that the trustExitCode configuration is
not honored for built-in tools.

Teach built-in tools to honor the trustExitCode configuration.
Extend run_merge_cmd() so that it is responsible for calling
check_unchanged() when a tool's exit code cannot be trusted.
Remove check_unchanged() calls from scriptlets since they are no
longer responsible for calling it.

When no configuration is present, exit_code_trustable() is
checked to see whether the exit code should be trusted.
The default implementation returns false.

Tools whose exit codes can be trusted override
exit_code_trustable() to true.

merge-recursive.c: use string_list_sort instead of qsort

Merge-recursive sorts a string list using a raw qsort(), where it
feeds the "items" from one struct but the "nr" and size fields from
another struct. This isn't a bug because one list is a copy of the
other, but it's unnecessarily confusing (and also caused our recent
QSORT() cleanups via coccinelle to miss this call site).

Let's use string_list_sort() instead, which is more concise and harder
to get wrong. Note that we need to adjust our comparison function,
which gets fed only the strings now, not the string_list_items. That's
OK because we don't use the "util" field as part of our sort.

get_worktrees() must return main worktree as first... Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Mon, 28 Nov 2016 09:36:54 +0000 (16:36 +0700)

get_worktrees() must return main worktree as first item even on error

This is required by git-worktree.txt, stating that the main worktree is
the first line (especially in --porcelain mode when we can't just change
behavior at will).

There's only one case when get_worktrees() may skip main worktree, when
parse_ref() fails. Update the code so that we keep first item as main
worktree and return something sensible in this case:

- In user-friendly mode, since we're not constraint by anything,
returning "(error)" should do the job (we already show "(detached
HEAD)" which is not machine-friendly). Actually errors should be
printed on stderr by parse_ref() (*)

- In plumbing mode, we do not show neither 'bare', 'detached' or
'branch ...', which is possible by the format description if I read
it right.

Careful readers may realize that when the local variable "head_ref" in
get_main_worktree() is emptied, add_head_info() will do nothing to
wt->head_sha1. But that's ok because head_sha1 is zero-ized in the
previous patch.

(*) Well, it does not. But it's supposed to be a stop gap implementation
until we can reuse refs code to parse "ref: " stuff in HEAD, from
resolve_refs_unsafe(). Now may be the time since refs refactoring is
mostly done.

push: fix --dry-run to not push submodules

Teach push to respect the --dry-run option when configured to
recursively push submodules 'on-demand'. This is done by passing the
--dry-run flag to the child process which performs a push for a
submodules when performing a dry-run.

In order to preserve good user experience, the additional check for
unpushed submodules is skipped during a dry-run when
--recurse-submodules=on-demand. The check is skipped because the submodule
pushes were performed as dry-runs and this check would always fail as the
submodules would still need to be pushed.

push: --dry-run updates submodules when --recurse-submodules=on-demand

This patch adds a test to illustrate how push run with --dry-run doesn't
actually perform a dry-run when push is configured to push submodules
on-demand. Instead all submodules which need to be pushed are actually
pushed to their remotes while any updates for the superproject are
performed as a dry-run. This is a bug and not the intended behaviour of
a dry-run.

stripspace: respect repository config

The way "git stripspace" reads the configuration was not quite
kosher, in that the code forgot to probe for a possibly existing
repository (note: stripspace is designed to be usable outside the
repository as well). It read .git/config only when it was run from
the top-level of the working tree by accident. A recent change
b9605bc4f2 ("config: only read .git/config from configured repos",
2016-09-12) stopped reading the repository-local configuration file
".git/config" unless the repository discovery process is done, so
that .git/config is never read even when run from the top-level,
exposing the old bug more.

When rebasing interactively with a commentChar defined in the
current repository's config, the help text at the bottom of the edit
script potentially used an incorrect comment character. This was not
only funny-looking, but also resulted in tons of warnings like this
one:

Warning: the command isn't recognized in the following line

submodules: allow empty working-tree dirs in merge... David Turner Mon, 7 Nov 2016 18:31:31 +0000 (13:31 -0500)

submodules: allow empty working-tree dirs in merge/cherry-pick

When a submodule is being merged or cherry-picked into a working
tree that already contains a corresponding empty directory, do not
record a conflict.

One situation where this bug appears is:

- Commit 1 adds a submodule
- Commit 2 removes that submodule and re-adds it into a subdirectory
(sub1 to sub1/sub1).
- Commit 3 adds an unrelated file.

Now the user checks out commit 1 (first deinitializing the submodule),
and attempts to cherry-pick commit 3. Previously, this would fail,
because the incoming submodule sub1/sub1 would falsely conflict with
the empty sub1 directory.

This patch ignores the empty sub1 directory, fixing the bug. We only
ignore the empty directory if the object being emplaced is a
submodule, which expects an empty directory.

rev-parse: fix parent shorthands with --symbolic

The try_parent_shorthands() function shows each parent via
show_rev(). We pass the correct parent sha1, but our "name"
parameter still points at the original refname. So asking
for a regular rev-parse works fine (it prints the sha1s),
but asking for the symbolic name gives nonsense like:

$ git rev-parse --symbolic HEAD^-1
HEAD
^HEAD

which is always an empty set of commits. Asking for "^!" is
likewise broken, with the added bonus that its prints ^HEAD
for _each_ parent. And "^@" just prints HEAD repeatedly.

Arguably it would be correct to just pass NULL as the name
here, and always get the parent expressed as a sha1. The
"--symbolic" documentaton claims only "as close to the
original input as possible", and we certainly fallback to
sha1s where necessary. But it's pretty easy to generate a
symbolic name on the fly from the original.

t0021: remove debugging cruft

The redirection of the standard error stream to a temporary file is
a leftover cruft during debugging. Remove it.

Besides, it is reported by folks on the Windows that the test is
flaky with this redirection; somebody gets confused and this
merely-redirected-to file gets marked as delete-pending by git.exe
and makes it finish with a non-zero exit status when "git checkout"
finishes. Windows folks may want to figure that one out, but for
the purpose of this test, it shouldn't become a show-stopper.

t6026: clarify the point of "kill $(cat sleep.pid)"Johannes Sixt Fri, 11 Nov 2016 20:24:44 +0000 (21:24 +0100)

t6026: clarify the point of "kill $(cat sleep.pid)"

We lengthened the time the leftover process sleeps in the previous
commit to make sure it will be there while 'git merge' runs and
finishes. It therefore needs to be killed before leaving the test.
And it needs to be killed even when 'git merge' fails, so it has to
be triggered via test_when_finished mechanism.

Explain all that in a large comment, and move the use site of
test_when_finished to immediately before 'git merge' invocation,
where the process is spawned.

t0021, t5615: use $PWD instead of $(pwd) in PATH-like shell variables

We have to use $PWD instead of $(pwd) because on Windows the latter
would add a C: style path to bash's Unix-style $PATH variable, which
becomes confused by the colon after the drive letter. ($PWD is a
Unix-style path.)

In the case of GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES, bash on Windows
assembles a Unix-style path list with the colon as separators. It
converts the value to a Windows-style path list with the semicolon as
path separator when it forwards the variable to git.exe. The same
confusion happens when bash's original value is contaminated with
Windows style paths.

doc: fix location of 'info/' with $GIT_COMMON_DIR

With the introduction of the $GIT_COMMON_DIR variable, the
repository layout manual was changed to reflect the location for
many files in case the variable is set. While adding the new
locations, one typo snuck in regarding the location of the
'info/' folder, which is falsely claimed to reside at
"$GIT_COMMON_DIR/index".

Fix the typo to point to "$GIT_COMMON_DIR/info/" instead.

t6026: ensure that long-running script really is

When making sure that background tasks are cleaned up in 5babb5b
(t6026-merge-attr: clean up background process at end of test case,
2016-09-07), we considered to let the background task sleep longer, just
to be certain that it will still be running when we want to kill it
after the test.

Sadly, the assumption appears not to hold true that the test case passes
quickly enough to kill the background task within a second.

Simply increase it to an hour. No system can be possibly slow enough to
make above-mentioned assumption incorrect.

Revert "t6026-merge-attr: don't fail if sleep exits early"

This reverts commit 734fde2d7167e4b20d2ff6062ade3846949b0741.

The point of the test is that the stray process was still running
when 'git merge' did its thing through its completion, so a failure
to "kill" it means we didn't give a condition to the test to trigger
a possible future breakage. Appending "|| :" to the "kill" is
sweeping a test-bug under the rug.

This reverts commit c1e0dc59bddce765761a6f863c66ee0cd4b2ca09.

We are not interested in the stray process in the merge driver
started; we want it to be still around.
