mingw: handle GITPERLLIB in t0021 in a Windows-compatible way
Git's assumption that all path lists are colon-separated is not only
wrong on Windows, it is not even an assumption that is compatible with
POSIX.
In the interest of time, let's not try to fix this properly but simply
work around the obvious breakage on Windows, where the MSYS2 Bash used
by Git for Windows to interpret the Git's Unix shell scripts will
automagically convert path lists in the environment to
semicolon-separated lists of Windows paths (with drive letter and the
corresponding colon and all that jazz).
In other words, we simply look whether there is a semicolon in
GITPERLLIB and split by semicolons if found instead of colons. This is
not fool-proof, of course, as the path list could consist of a single
path. But that is not the case in Git for Windows' test suite, there are
always two paths in GITPERLLIB.

merge-recursive: do not look at the index during recursive merge
When merging another branch into ours, if their tree is the same as
the common ancestor's, we can declare that our tree represents the
result of three-way merge. In such a case, the recursive merge
backend incorrectly used to create a commit out of our index, even
when the index has changes.
A recent fix attempted to prevent this by adding a comparison
between "our" tree and the index, but forgot that this check must be
restricted only to the outermost merge. Inner merges performed by
the recursive backend across merge bases are by definition made from
scratch without having any local changes added to the index. The
call to index_has_changes() during an inner merge is working on the
index that has no relation to the merge being performed, preventing
legitimate merges from getting carried out.
Fix it by limiting the check to the outermost merge.
c3a9ad3117 ("oidset: add iterator methods to oidset", 2017-11-21)

we're trying to return (oidmap_init) is void just remove the return
statement to fix the compiler error.

stash: don't delete untracked files that match pathspec
Currently when 'git stash push -- <pathspec>' is used, untracked files
that match the pathspec will be deleted, even though they do not end up
in a stash anywhere.
This is because the original commit introducing the pathspec feature in
git stash push (df6bba0937 ("stash: teach 'push' (and 'create_stash') to
honor pathspec", 2017-02-28)) used the sequence of 'git reset <pathspec>
&& git ls-files --modified <pathspec> | git checkout-index && git clean
<pathspec>'.
The intention was to emulate what 'git reset --hard -- <pathspec>' would
do. The call to 'git clean' was supposed to clean up the files that
were unstaged by 'git reset'. This would work fine if the pathspec
doesn't match any files that were untracked before 'git stash push --
<pathspec>'. However if <pathspec> matches a file that was untracked
before invoking the 'stash' command, all untracked files matching the
pathspec would inadvertently be deleted as well, even though they
wouldn't end up in the stash, and are therefore lost.
This behaviour was never what was intended, only blobs that also end up
in the stash should be reset to their state in HEAD, previously
untracked files should be left alone.
To achieve this, first match what's in the index and what's in the
working tree by adding all changes to the index, ask diff-index what
changed between HEAD and the current index, and then apply that patch in
reverse to get rid of the changes, which includes removal of added
files and resurrection of removed files.

send-email: add and use a local copy of Mail::Address
We used to have two versions of the email parsing code. Our
parse_mailboxes (in Git.pm), and Mail::Address which we used if
installed. Unfortunately, both versions have different sets of bugs, and
changing the behavior of git depending on whether Mail::Address is
installed was a bad idea.
A first attempt to solve this was cc90750 (send-email: don't use
Mail::Address, even if available, 2017-08-23), but it turns out our
parse_mailboxes is too buggy for some uses. For example the lack of
nested comments support breaks get_maintainer.pl in the Linux kernel
tree:
This patch goes the other way: use Mail::Address anyway, but have a
local copy from CPAN as a fallback, when the system one is not
available.
The duplicated script is small (276 lines of code) and stable in time.
Maintaining the local copy should not be an issue, and will certainly be
less burden than maintaining our own parse_mailboxes.
Another option would be to consider Mail::Address as a hard dependency,
but it's easy enough to save the trouble of extra-dependency to the end
user or packager.

diffcore: add a pickaxe option to find a specific blob
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs,
such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as
'<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer
number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right.
The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that
could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that
removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches.
Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this
patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting
the information to what is shown. For example:
$ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now 47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:"
we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The
reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil
merges that are not found using this new mechanism.
Currently the check whether to perform pickaxing is done via checking
`diffopt->pickaxe`, which contains the command line argument that we
want to pickaxe for. Soon we'll introduce a new type of pickaxing, that
will not store anything in the `.pickaxe` field, so let's migrate the
check to be dependent on pickaxe_opts.
It is not enough to just replace the check for pickaxe by pickaxe_opts,
because flags might be set, but pickaxing was not requested ('-i').
To cope with that, introduce a mask to check only for the bits indicating
the modes of operation.

docs/diff-options: clarify scope of diff-filter types
The same document for "--diff-filter" is included by many
programs in the diff family. Because it mentions all
possible types (added, removed, etc), this may imply to the
reader that all types can be generated by a particular
command. But this isn't necessarily the case; "diff-files"
cannot generally produce an "Added" entry, since the diff is
limited to what is already in the index.
Let's make it clear that the list here is the full one, and
does not imply anything about what a particular invocation
may produce.
Note that conditionally including items (e.g., omitting
"Added" in the git-diff-files manpage) isn't the right
solution here for two reasons:
- The problem isn't diff-files, but doing an index to
working tree diff. "git diff" can do the same diff, but
also has other modes where "Added" does show up.
- The direction of the diff matters. Doing "diff-files -R"
can get you Added entries (but not Deleted ones).
So it's best just to explain that the set of available types
depends on the specific diff invocation.

Setting the Git-Protocol header is restricted to httpd >= 2.4, but

Ever since 5b594f457a ("Threaded grep", 2010-01-25) the number of

there's no performance test to check whether this is an optimal

this can be tested, e.g.:
When cleaning up files in the $HOME directory, it really makes sense to
quote the path, especially in Git's test suite, where the HOME directory
is *guaranteed* to contain spaces in its name.
It would appear that those two tests pass even without cleaning up the
files, but really more by pure chance than by design (the cleanup seems
not actually to be necessary).
However, if anybody would have a left-over `trash/` directory in Git's
`t/` directory, these tests would fail, because they would all of a
sudden try to delete that directory, but without the `-r` (recursive)
flag. That is how this issue was found.

clone: do not clean up directories we didn't create
Once upon a time, git-clone would refuse to write into a
directory that it did not itself create. The cleanup
routines for a failed clone could therefore just remove the
git and worktree dirs completely.
In 55892d2398 (Allow cloning to an existing empty directory,
2009-01-11), we learned to write into an existing directory.
Which means that doing:
mkdir foo
git clone will-fail foo
ends up deleting foo. This isn't a huge catastrophe, since
by definition foo must be empty. But it's somewhat
confusing; we should leave the filesystem as we found it.
Because we know that the only directory we'll write into is
an empty one, we can handle this case by just passing the
KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to our recursive delete (if we could
write into populated directories, we'd have to keep track of
what we wrote and what we did not, which would be much
harder).
Note that we need to handle the work-tree and git-dir
separately, though, as only one might exist (and the new
tests in t5600 cover all cases).

Two parts of git-clone's setup logic check whether a
directory exists, and they both call stat directly with the
same scratch "struct stat" buffer. Let's pull that into a
helper, which has a few advantages:
- it makes the purpose of the stat calls more obvious
- it makes it clear that we don't care about the
information in "buf" remaining valid
- if we later decide to make the check more robust (e.g.,
complaining about non-directories), we can do it in one
place
Note that we could just use file_exists() for this, which
has identical code. But we specifically care about
directories, so this future-proofs us against that function
later getting more picky about seeing actual files.

PERLLIB_EXTRA was introduced in v1.9-rc0~88^2 (2013-11-15) as a way
for packagers to add additional directories such as the location of
Subversion's perl bindings to Git's perl path. Since 20d2a30f
(Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules,
2012-12-10) setting that variable breaks perl-based commands instead:
$ PATH=$HOME/opt/git/bin:$PATH
$ make install prefix=$HOME/opt/git PERLLIB_EXTRA=anextralibdir
[...]
$ head -2 $HOME/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib (split(/:/, $ENV{GITPERLLIB} || ":helloiamanextrainstlibdir" || "/usr/local/google/home/jrn/opt/git/share/perl5"));
$ git add -p
Empty compile time value given to use lib at /home/jrn/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 2.
Removing the spurious ":" at the beginning of ":$PERLLIB_EXTRA" avoids
the "Empty compile time value" error but with that tweak the problem
still remains: PERLLIB_EXTRA ends up replacing instead of
supplementing the perllibdir that would be passed to 'use lib' if
PERLLIB_EXTRA were not set.
The intent was to simplify, as the commit message to 20d2a30f
explains:
| The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if
| INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way,
| it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of
| [v1.9-rc0~88^2] is that this is the desired behavior.
Restore the previous code structure to make PERLLIB_EXTRA work again.
Reproducing this problem requires an invocation of "make install"
instead of running bin-wrappers/git in place, since the latter sets
the GITPERLLIB environment variable, avoiding trouble.

merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to symbolic link merge
The -Xours/-Xtheirs merge options were originally defined as a way
to "force" the resolution of 3way textual merge conflicts to take
one side without using your editor, hence did not even trigger in
situations where you would normally not get the <<< === >>> conflict
markers.
This was improved for binary files back in 2012 with a944af1d
("merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to binary ll-merge driver",
2012-09-08).
Teach a similar trick to the codepath that deals with merging two
conflicting changes to symbolic links.

travis-ci: record and skip successfully built trees
Travis CI dutifully builds and tests each new branch tip, even if its
tree has previously been successfully built and tested. This happens
often enough in contributors' workflows, when a work-in-progress
branch is rebased changing e.g. only commit messages or the order or
number of commits while leaving the resulting code intact, and is then
pushed to a Travis CI-enabled GitHub fork.
This is wasting Travis CI's resources and is sometimes scary-annoying
when the new tip commit with a tree identical to the previous,
successfully tested one is suddenly reported in red, because one of
the OSX build jobs happened to exceed the time limit yet again.
So extend our Travis CI build scripts to skip building commits whose
trees have previously been successfully built and tested. Use the
Travis CI cache feature to keep a record of the object names of trees
that tested successfully, in a plain and simple flat text file, one
line per tree object name. Append the current tree's object name at
the end of every successful build job to this file, along with a bit
of additional info about the build job (commit object name, Travis CI
job number and id). Limit the size of this file to 1000 records, to
prevent it from growing too large for git/git's forever living
integration branches. Check, using a simple grep invocation, in each
build job whether the current commit's tree is already in there, and
skip the build if it is. Include a message in the skipped build job's
trace log, containing the URL to the build job successfully testing
that tree for the first time and instructions on how to force a
re-build. Catch the case when a build job, which successfully built
and tested a particular tree for the first time, is restarted and omit
the URL of the previous build job's trace log, as in this case it's
the same build job and the trace log has just been overwritten.
Note: this won't kick in if two identical trees are on two different
branches, because Travis CI caches are not shared between build jobs
of different branches.
