gc: do not return error for prior errors in daemonized mode
Some build machines started consistently failing to fetch updated
source using "repo sync", with error
error: The last gc run reported the following. Please correct the root cause
and remove /build/.repo/projects/tools/git.git/gc.log.
Automatic cleanup will not be performed until the file is removed.
warning: There are too many unreachable loose objects; run 'git prune' to remove them.
The cause takes some time to describe.
In v2.0.0-rc0~145^2 (gc: config option for running --auto in
background, 2014-02-08), "git gc --auto" learned to run in the
background instead of blocking the invoking command. In this mode, it
closed stderr to avoid interleaving output with any subsequent
commands, causing warnings like the above to be swallowed; v2.6.3~24^2
(gc: save log from daemonized gc --auto and print it next time,
2015-09-19) addressed that by storing any diagnostic output in
.git/gc.log and allowing the next "git gc --auto" run to print it.
To avoid wasteful repeated fruitless gcs, when gc.log is present, the
subsequent "gc --auto" would die after printing its contents. Most
git commands, such as "git fetch", ignore the exit status from "git gc
--auto" so all is well at this point: the user gets to see the error
message, and the fetch succeeds, without a wasteful additional attempt
at an automatic gc.
External tools like repo[1], though, do care about the exit status
from "git gc --auto". In non-daemonized mode, the exit status is
straightforward: if there is an error, it is nonzero, but after a
warning like the above, the status is zero. The daemonized mode, as a
side effect of the other properties provided, offers a very strange
exit code convention:
- if no housekeeping was required, the exit status is 0
- the first real run, after forking into the background, returns exit
status 0 unconditionally. The parent process has no way to know
whether gc will succeed.
- if there is any diagnostic output in gc.log, subsequent runs return
a nonzero exit status to indicate that gc was not triggered.
There's nothing for the calling program to act on on the basis of that
error. Use status 0 consistently instead, to indicate that we decided
not to run a gc (just like if no housekeeping was required). This
way, repo and similar tools can get the benefit of the same behavior
as tools like "git fetch" that ignore the exit status from gc --auto.
Once the period of time described by gc.pruneExpire elapses, the
unreachable loose objects will be removed by "git gc --auto"
automatically.

The return value of ewah_read_mmap() is now an ssize_t,
since we could (in theory) process up to 32GB of data. This
would never happen in practice, but a corrupt or malicious
.bitmap or index file could convince us to do so.
Let's make sure that we don't stuff the value into an int,
which would cause us to incorrectly move our pointer
forward. We'd always move too little, since negative values
are used for reporting errors. So the worst case is just
that we end up reporting a corrupt file, not an
out-of-bounds read.

The on-disk ewah format tells us how big the ewah data is,
and we blindly read that much from the buffer without
considering whether the mmap'd data is long enough, which
can lead to out-of-bound reads.
Let's make sure we have data available before reading it,
both for the ewah header/footer as well as for the bit data
itself. In particular:
- keep our ptr/len pair in sync as we move through the
buffer, and check it before each read
- check the size for integer overflow (this should be
impossible on 64-bit, as the size is given as a 32-bit
count of 8-byte words, but is possible on a 32-bit
system)
- return the number of bytes read as an ssize_t instead of
an int, again to prevent integer overflow
- compute the return value using a pointer difference;
this should yield the same result as the existing code,
but makes it more obvious that we got our computations
right
The included test is far from comprehensive, as it just
picks a static point at which to truncate the generated
bitmap. But in practice this will hit in the middle of an
ewah and make sure we're at least exercising this code.

Support for the --set-upstream option was removed in 52668846ea
(builtin/branch: stop supporting the "--set-upstream" option,
2017-08-17). The change did not completely remove the command
due to an issue noted in the commit's log message.
So, a test was added to ensure that a command which uses the
'--set-upstream' option fails instead of silently acting as an alias
for the '--set-upstream-to' option due to option parsing features.
To avoid confusion, clarify that the option is disabled intentionally
in the corresponding test description.
The test is expected to be around as long as we intentionally fail
on seeing the '--set-upstream' option which in turn we expect to
do for a period of time after which we can be sure that existing
users of '--set-upstream' are aware that the option is no
longer supported.

The Makefile tweak NO_ICONV is meant to allow Git to be built without
iconv in case iconv is not installed or is otherwise dysfunctional.
However, NO_ICONV's disabling of iconv is incomplete and can incorrectly
allow "-liconv" to slip into the linker flags when NEEDS_LIBICONV is
defined, which breaks the build when iconv is not installed.
On some platforms, iconv lives directly in libc, whereas, on others it
resides in libiconv. For the latter case, NEEDS_LIBICONV instructs the
Makefile to add "-liconv" to the linker flags. config.mak.uname
automatically defines NEEDS_LIBICONV for platforms which require it.
The adding of "-liconv" is done unconditionally, despite NO_ICONV.
Work around this problem by making NO_ICONV take precedence over
NEEDS_LIBICONV.

The buffer being passed to zlib includes a NUL terminator that git
needs to keep in place. unpack_compressed_entry() attempts to detect
the case that the source buffer hasn't been fully consumed by
checking to see if the destination buffer has been over consumed.
This causes a problem, that more recent zlib patches have been
poisoning the unconsumed portions of the buffer which overwrites
the NUL byte, while correctly returning length and status.
Let's place the NUL at the end of the buffer after inflate returns
to assure that it doesn't result in problems for git even if its
been overwritten by zlib.

RelNotes 2.18: clarify where directory rename detection applies
Mention that this feature works with some commands (merge and cherry-pick,
implying that it also works with commands that build on these like rebase
-m and rebase -i). Explicitly mentioning two commands hopefully implies
that it may not always work with other commands (am, and rebase without
flags that imply either -m or -i).
Also, since the directory rename detection from this cycle was
specifically added in merge-recursive and not diffcore-rename, remove the
'in "diff" family" phrase from the note. (Folks have requested in the
past that `git diff` detect directory renames and somehow simplify its
output, so it may be helpful to avoid implying that diff has any new
capability here.)

The "autodie" module was added in Perl 5.10.1, but our INSTALL
document says "version 5.8 or later is needed".
As discussed in <87efhfvxzu.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com> this script is in
contrib/, so we might not want to apply that policy, however in this
case "autodie" was recently added as a "gratuitous safeguard" in 786ef50a23 ("git-credential-netrc: accept gpg option",
2018-05-12) (see
<CAHqJXRE8OKSKcck1APHAHccLZhox+tZi8nNu2RA74RErX8s3Pg@mail.gmail.com>).
Looking at it more carefully the addition of "autodie" inadvertently
introduced a logic error, since having it is equivalent to this patch:
@@ -245,10 +244,10 @@ sub load_netrc {
if ($gpgmode) {
my @cmd = ($options{'gpg'}, qw(--decrypt), $file);
log_verbose("Using GPG to open $file: [@cmd]");
- open $io, "-|", @cmd;
+ open $io, "-|", @cmd or die "@cmd: $!";
} else {
log_verbose("Opening $file...");
- open $io, '<', $file;
+ open $io, '<', $file or die "$file: $!$!;
}
# nothing to do if the open failed (we log the error later)
As shown in the context the intent of that code is not do die but to
log the error later.
Per my reading of the file this was the only thing autodie was doing
in this file (there was no other code it altered). So let's remove it,
both to fix the logic error and to get rid of the dependency.
git-p4 originally would fetch changes in one query. On large repos this
could fail because of the limits that Perforce imposes on the number of
items returned and the number of queries in the database.
To fix this, git-p4 learned to query changes in blocks of 512 changes,
However, this can be very slow - if you have a few million changes,
with each chunk taking about a second, it can be an hour or so.
Although it's possible to tune this value manually with the
"--changes-block-size" option, it's far from obvious to ordinary users
that this is what needs doing.
This change alters the block size dynamically by looking for the
specific error messages returned from the Perforce server, and reducing
the block size if the error is seen, either to the limit reported by the
server, or to half the current block size.
That means we can start out with a very large block size, and then let
it automatically drop down to a value that works without error, while
still failing correctly if some other error occurs.

git-p4: raise exceptions from p4CmdList based on error from p4 server
This change lays some groundwork for better handling of rowcount errors
from the server, where it fails to send us results because we requested
too many.
It adds an option to p4CmdList() to return errors as a Python exception.
The exceptions are derived from P4Exception (something went wrong),
P4ServerException (the server sent us an error code) and
P4RequestSizeException (we requested too many rows/results from the
server database).
This makes the code that handles the errors a bit easier.

On a daily work with multiple local git branches, the usual way to
submit only a specified commit was to cherry-pick the commit on
master then run git-p4 submit. It can be very annoying to switch
between local branches and master, only to submit one commit. The
proposed new way is to select directly the commit you want to
submit.
Add option --commit to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to submit
only specified commit(s) in p4.
On a daily work developping software with big compilation time, one
may not want to rebase on his local git tree, in order to avoid long

completion: correct zsh detection when run from git-completion.zsh
v2.18.0-rc0~90^2 (completion: reduce overhead of clearing cached
--options, 2018-04-18) worked around a bug in bash's "set" builtin on
MacOS by using compgen instead. It was careful to avoid breaking zsh
by guarding this workaround with
if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-}} ]]
Alas, this interacts poorly with git-completion.zsh's bash emulation:
ZSH_VERSION='' . "$script"
Correct it by instead using a new GIT_SOURCING_ZSH_COMPLETION shell
variable to detect whether git-completion.bash is being sourced from
git-completion.zsh. This way, the zsh variant is used both when run
from zsh directly and when run via git-completion.zsh.
Reproduction recipe:
1. cd git/contrib/completion && cp git-completion.zsh _git
2. Put the following in a new ~/.zshrc file:
With this patch:

The function does not start taking the repository object as a
parameter before v2.18 track. Make the topic mergeable to v2.17
maintenance track by dropping it.
Commit 159e7b080b (fsck: detect gitmodules files,
2018-05-02) taught fsck to look at the content of
.gitmodules files. If the object turns out not to be a blob
at all, we just complain and punt on checking the content.
And since this was such an obvious and trivial code path, I
didn't even bother to add a test.
Except it _does_ do one non-trivial thing, which is call the
report() function, which wants us to pass a pointer to a
"struct object". Which we don't have (we have only a "struct
object_id"). So we erroneously pass a NULL object to
report(), which gets dereferenced and causes a segfault.
It seems like we could refactor report() to just take the
object_id itself. But we pass the object pointer along to
a callback function, and indeed this ends up in
builtin/fsck.c's objreport() which does want to look at
other parts of the object (like the type).
So instead, let's just use lookup_unknown_object() to get
the real "struct object", and pass that.

commit for more discussion).
As a result, there's no need to create a commit in our
tests. Let's drop it in the name of simplicity. And since
