commit: make --only --allow-empty work without paths

--only is implied when paths are present, and required
them unless --amend. But with --allow-empty it should
be allowed as well - it is the only way to create an
empty commit in the presence of staged changes.

mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited... Ben Wijen Mon, 22 Aug 2016 12:47:55 +0000 (14:47 +0200)

mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes

When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to
said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the
child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work
because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them.
The symptom:

Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed.
Should I try again? (y/n)

Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work
because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx
handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr).

Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g.
git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles.

This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the
O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our
purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on
Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and
map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows.

As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where
the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux
kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL.

This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

Revert "display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API"

Since 4804aab (help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using
Windows' shell API, 2008-07-13), Git for Windows used to call
`ShellExecute()` to launch the default Windows handler for `.html`
files.

The idea was to avoid going through a shell script, for performance
reasons.

However, this change ignores the `help.browser` config setting. Together
with browsing help not being a performance-critical operation, let's
just revert that patch.

t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit... Ben Wijen Thu, 18 Aug 2016 14:51:12 +0000 (16:51 +0200)

t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles

On Windows, a file cannot be removed unless all file handles to it have
been released. Hence it is particularly important to close handles when
spawning children (which would probably not even know that they hold on
to those handles).

The example chosen for this test is a custom merge driver that indeed
has no idea that it blocks the deletion of index.lock. The full use case
is a daemon that lives on after the merge, with subsequent invocations
handing off to the daemon, thereby avoiding hefty start-up costs. We
simulate this behavior by simply sleeping one second.

Note that the test only fails on Windows, due to the file locking issue.
Since we have no way to say "expect failure with MINGW, success
otherwise", we simply skip this test on Windows for now.

t/Makefile: ensure that paths are valid on platforms... Johannes Schindelin Tue, 16 Aug 2016 15:13:25 +0000 (17:13 +0200)

t/Makefile: ensure that paths are valid on platforms we care

Some pathnames that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ cannot be checked
out on Windows. Tests that want to see operations on such paths on
filesystems that support them must do so behind appropriate test
prerequisites, and must not include them in the source tree (instead
they should create them when they run). Otherwise, the source tree
cannot even be checked out.

Make sure that double-quotes, asterisk, colon, greater/less-than,
question-mark, backslash, tab, vertical-bar, as well as any non-ASCII
characters never appear in the pathnames with a new test-lint-* target
as part of a `make test`. To that end, we call `git ls-files` (ensuring
that the paths are quoted properly), relying on the fact that paths
containing non-ASCII characters are quoted within double-quotes.

In case that the source code does not actually live in a Git
repository (e.g. when extracted from a .zip file), or that the `git`
executable cannot be executed, we simply ignore the error for now; In
that case, our trusty Continuous Integration will be the last line of
defense and catch any problematic file name.

Noticed when a topic wanted to add a pathname with '>' in it. A
check like this will prevent a similar problems from happening in the
future.

difftool: always honor fatal error exit codesJohn Keeping Mon, 15 Aug 2016 21:54:39 +0000 (22:54 +0100)

difftool: always honor fatal error exit codes

At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the
exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we
don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files
differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the
selected diff utility is not found.

POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for
"command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the
command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash
and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use
"1" for the exit status we want to ignore.

Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that
some form of fatal error occurred.

merge-recursive: fix verbose output for multiple base trees

One of the indirect callers of make_virtual_commit() passes the result of
oid_to_hex() as the name, i.e. a pointer to a static buffer. Since the
function uses that string pointer directly in building a struct
merge_remote_desc, multiple entries can end up sharing the same name
inadvertently.

involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even

git mv: do not keep slash in `git mv dir non-existing-dir/`

When calling `rename("dir", "non-existing-dir/")` on Linux, it silently
succeeds, stripping the trailing slash of the second argument.

This is all good and dandy but this behavior disagrees with the specs at

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/rename.html

that state clearly regarding the 2nd parameter (called `new`):

If the `new` argument does not resolve to an existing directory
entry for a file of type directory and the `new` argument
contains at least one non- <slash> character and ends with one
or more trailing <slash> characters after all symbolic links
have been processed, `rename()` shall fail.

Of course, we would like `git mv dir non-existing-dir/` to succeed (and
rename the directory "dir" to "non-existing-dir"). Let's be extra
careful to remove the trailing slash in that case.

This lets t7001-mv.sh pass in Bash on Windows.

nedmalloc: work around overzealous GCC 6 warningRené Scharfe Thu, 4 Aug 2016 21:56:54 +0000 (23:56 +0200)

nedmalloc: work around overzealous GCC 6 warning

With GCC 6, the strdup() function is declared with the "nonnull"
attribute, stating that it is not allowed to pass a NULL value as
parameter.

In nedmalloc()'s reimplementation of strdup(), Postel's Law is heeded
and NULL parameters are handled gracefully. GCC 6 complains about that
now because it thinks that NULL cannot be passed to strdup() anyway.

Because the callers in this project of strdup() must be prepared to
call any implementation of strdup() supplied by the platform, so it
is pointless to pretend that it is OK to call it with NULL.

Remove the conditional based on NULL-ness of the input; this
squelches the warning. Check the return value of malloc() instead
to make sure we actually got the memory to write to.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html for details.

t5533: make it pass on case-sensitive filesystems

The newly-added test case wants to commit a file "c.t" (note the lower
case) when a previous test case already committed a file "C.t". This
confuses Git to the point that it thinks "c.t" was not staged when "git
add c.t" was called.

Simply make the naming of the test commits consistent with the previous
test cases: use upper-case, and advance in the alphabet.

This came up in local work to rebase the Windows-specific patches to the

t7063: work around FreeBSD's lazy mtime update feature

Let's start with the commit message of [1] from freebsd.git [2]

Sync timestamp changes for inodes of special files to disk as late
as possible (when the inode is reclaimed). Temporarily only do
this if option UFS_LAZYMOD configured and softupdates aren't
enabled. UFS_LAZYMOD is intentionally left out of
/sys/conf/options.

This is mainly to avoid almost useless disk i/o on battery powered
machines. It's silly to write to disk (on the next sync or when
the inode becomes inactive) just because someone hit a key or
something wrote to the screen or /dev/null.

PR: 5577 [3]

The short version of that, in the context of t7063, is that when a
directory is updated, its mtime may be updated later, not
immediately. This can be shown with a simple command sequence

date; sleep 1; touch abc; rm abc; sleep 10; ls -lTd .

One would expect that the date shown in `ls` would be one second from
`date`, but it's 10 seconds later. If we put another `ls -lTd .` in
front of `sleep 10`, then the date of the last `ls` comes as
expected. The first `ls` somehow forces mtime to be updated.

t7063 is really sensitive to directory mtime. When mtime is too "new",
git code suspects racy timestamps and will not trigger the shortcut in
untracked cache, in t7063.24 and eventually be detected in t7063.27

We have two options thanks to this special FreeBSD feature:

1) Stop supporting untracked cache on FreeBSD. Skip t7063 entirely
when running on FreeBSD

2) Work around this problem (using the same 'ls' trick) and continue
to support untracked cache on FreeBSD

I initially wanted to go with 1) because I didn't know the exact
nature of this feature and feared that it would make untracked cache
work unreliably, using the cached version when it should not.

Since the behavior of this thing is clearer now. The picture is not
that bad. If this indeed happens often, untracked cache would assume
racy condition more often and _fall back_ to non-untracked cache code
paths. Which means it may be less effective, but it will not show
wrong things.

This patch goes with option 2.

PS. For those who want to look further in FreeBSD source code, this
flag is now called IN_LAZYMOD. I can see it's effective in ext2 and
ufs. zfs is not affected.

It's natural to expect %f to be an actual file on disk; help avoid that
mistake.

import-tars: support hard linksJohannes Schindelin Wed, 3 Aug 2016 13:30:20 +0000 (15:30 +0200)

import-tars: support hard links

Previously, we simply treated hard links as if they were plain files
with size 0, ignoring the link type "1" and hence the link target.

What we should do instead, of course, is to use the link target to get
at the import mark for the contents, even if we cannot recreate the hard
link per se, as Git has no concept of hard links.

t4130: work around Windows limitationJohannes Sixt Wed, 3 Aug 2016 06:15:03 +0000 (08:15 +0200)

t4130: work around Windows limitation

On Windows, it is already pretty expensive to try to recreate the stat()
data that Git assumes is cheap to obtain. To make things halfway decent
in performance, we even have to skip emulating the inode and to
determine the number of hard links.

This is not a huge problem, usually, as either the size or the mtime or
the ctime are tell-tale enough to say when a file has changed, and even
if not, those changes are typically made after the index file was
written, triggering a rehashing of the files' contents.

The t4130-apply-criss-cross-rename test case, however, requires the
inode to determine that files of equal size were swapped, as renaming
files does not update their mtime. Every once in a while, t4130 fails
on Windows because of this missing piece.

Equal file sizes are not crucial for the test cases, however. Hence,
generate files with different sizes so that there is some property that
the swapped files can be discovered reliably even on Windows.
