parse-options.c: make OPTION_COUNTUP respect "unspecified" values

OPT_COUNTUP() merely increments the counter upon --option, and resets it
to 0 upon --no-option, which means that there is no "unspecified" value
with which a client can initialize the counter to determine whether or
not --[no]-option was seen at all.

Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value
to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the
counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then
neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option
was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last.

This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because
they all use the initial value of 0 (or more).

Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with
OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set
to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls
parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the
initial value of the variable is not negative.

To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to
"unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior
with all sets of values.

hooks: allow customizing where the hook directory is

Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in
$(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead.

This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to
specify hooks on init time via init templates.

The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can
be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to
apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the
system.

I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create
arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the
hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

Change:

* Sentences that needed "the" or "a" to either add those or change them
so they don't need them.

* The little tangent about "You can use this to do X (if your project
wants to do X)" can just be shortened to "if you want to do X".

* s/parameter/parameters/ when the plural made more sense.

Most of this goes all the way back to the initial introduction of

githooks.txt: amend dangerous advice about 'update' hook ACL

Any ACL you implement via an 'update' hook isn't actual access control
if the user has login access to the machine running git, because they
can trivially just build their own version of Git which doesn't run the
hook.

Change the documentation to take this dangerous edge case into account,
and remove the mention of the advice originating on the mailing list,
the users reading this don't care where the idea came up.

githooks.txt: improve the intro section

Change the documentation so that:

* We don't talk about "little scripts". Hooks can be as big as you
want, and don't have to be scripts, just call them "programs".

* We note that we change the working directory before a hook is called,
nothing documented this explicitly, but the current behavior is
predictable. It helps a lot to know what directory these hooks will
be executed from.

* We don't make claims about the example hooks which may not be true
depending on the configuration of 'init.templateDir'. Clarify that
we're talking about the default settings of git-init in those cases,
and move some of this documentation into git-init's documentation
about the default templates.

* We briefly note in the intro that hooks can get their arguments in
various different ways, and that how exactly is described below for
each hook.

"git describe --contains" often made a hard-to-justify choice of
tag to give name to a given commit, because it tried to come up
with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old
commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not
described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag. It did
not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to
penalize being on a side branch of a merge. The logic has been
updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which
is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit
in terms of the (chronologically) oldest tag that contains the

gitweb: apply fallback encoding before highlightShin Kojima Tue, 3 May 2016 13:00:51 +0000 (22:00 +0900)

gitweb: apply fallback encoding before highlight

Some multi-byte character encodings (such as Shift_JIS and GBK) have
characters whose final bytes is an ASCII '\' (0x5c), and they
will be displayed as funny-characters even if $fallback_encoding is
correct. This is because `highlight` command always expects UTF-8
encoded strings from STDIN.

$ echo 'my $v = "申";' | highlight --syntax perl | w3m -T text/html -dump
my $v = "申";

$ echo 'my $v = "申";' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t Shift_JIS | highlight \
--syntax perl | iconv -f Shift_JIS -t UTF-8 | w3m -T text/html -dump

iconv: (stdin):9:135: cannot convert
my $v = "

This patch prepare git blob objects to be encoded into UTF-8 before
highlighting in the manner of `to_utf8` subroutine.

commit-tree: do not pay attention to commit.gpgsignJunio C Hamano Mon, 2 May 2016 21:58:45 +0000 (14:58 -0700)

commit-tree: do not pay attention to commit.gpgsign

ba3c69a9 (commit: teach --gpg-sign option, 2011-10-05) introduced a
"signed commit" by teaching the --[no]-gpg-sign option and the
commit.gpgsign configuration variable to various commands that
create commits.

Teaching these to "git commit" and "git merge", both of which are
end-user facing Porcelain commands, was perfectly fine. Allowing
the plumbing "git commit-tree" to suddenly change the behaviour to
surprise the scripts by paying attention to commit.gpgsign was not.

Among the in-tree scripts, filter-branch, quiltimport, rebase and
stash are the commands that run "commit-tree". If any of these
wants to allow users to always sign every single commit, they should
offer their own configuration (e.g. "filterBranch.gpgsign") with an
option to disable signing (e.g. "git filter-branch --no-gpgsign").

Ignoring commit.gpgsign option _obviously_ breaks the backward
compatibility, but it is easy to follow the standard pattern in
scripts to honor whatever configuration variable they choose to
follow. E.g.

case $(git config --bool commit.gpgsign) in
true) sign=-S ;;
*) sign= ;;
esac &&
git commit-tree $sign ...whatever other args...

Do so to make sure that "git rebase" keeps paying attention to the
configuration variable, which unfortunately is a documented mistake.

submodule init: redirect stdout to stderr

Reroute the output of stdout to stderr as it is just informative
messages, not to be consumed by machines.

This should not regress any scripts that try to parse the
current output, as the output is already internationalized
and therefore unstable.

We want to init submodules from the helper for `submodule update`
in a later patch and the stdout output of said helper is consumed
by the parts of `submodule update` which are still written in shell.
So we have to be careful which messages are on stdout.

t5510: run auto-gc in the foreground

The last test added to 't5510-fetch' in 0898c9628104 (fetch: release
pack files before garbage-collecting, 2016-01-13) may sporadically
trigger following error message from the test harness:

rm: cannot remove 'trash directory.t5510-fetch/auto-gc/.git': Directory not empty

The test in question forces an auto-gc, which, if the system supports
it, runs in the background by default, and occasionally takes long
enough for the test to finish and for 'test_done' to start
housekeeping. This can lead to the test's 'git gc --auto' in the
background and 'test_done's 'rm -rf $trash' in the foreground racing
each other to create and delete files and directories. It might just
happen that 'git gc' re-creates a directory that 'rm -rf' already
visited and removed, which ultimately triggers the above error.

Disable detaching the auto-gc process to ensure that it finishes
before the test can continue, thus avoiding this racy situation.

Windows: add pthread_sigmask() that does nothing

A previous change introduced a call to pthread_sigmask() in order to block
SIGPIPE in a thread. Since there are no signal facilities on Windows that
are similar to POSIX signals, just ignore the request to block the signal.
In the particular case, the effect of blocking SIGPIPE on POSIX is that
write() calls return EPIPE when the reader closes the pipe. This is how
write() behaves on Windows.

submodule: use prepare_submodule_repo_env consistently

Before 14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from
command line, 2016-02-29), it was sufficient for code which
spawned a process in a submodule to just set the child
process's "env" field to "local_repo_env" to clear the
environment of any repo-specific variables.

That commit introduced a more complicated procedure, in
which we clear most variables but allow through sanitized
config. For C code, we used that procedure only for cloning,
but not for any of the programs spawned by submodule.c. As a
result, things like "git fetch --recurse-submodules" behave
differently than "git clone --recursive"; the former will
not pass through the sanitized config.

We can fix this by using prepare_submodule_repo_env()
everywhere in submodule.c.

Commit 14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from

the sanitized value of $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS when clearing
the environment for a submodule. However, it failed to
export the result, meaning that it had no effect for any
sub-programs.

We didn't catch this in our initial tests because we checked
only the "clone" case, which does not go through the shell
script at all. Provoking "git submodule update" to do a
fetch demonstrates the bug.

http: support sending custom HTTP headersJohannes Schindelin Wed, 27 Apr 2016 12:20:37 +0000 (14:20 +0200)

http: support sending custom HTTP headers

We introduce a way to send custom HTTP headers with all requests.

This allows us, for example, to send an extra token from build agents
for temporary access to private repositories. (This is the use case that
triggered this patch.)

This feature can be used like this:

git -c http.extraheader='Secret: sssh!' fetch $URL $REF

Note that `curl_easy_setopt(..., CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ...)` takes only
a single list, overriding any previous call. This means we have to
collect _all_ of the headers we want to use into a single list, and
feed it to cURL in one shot. Since we already unconditionally set a
"pragma" header when initializing the curl handles, we can add our new
headers to that list.

For callers which override the default header list (like probe_rpc),
we provide `http_copy_default_headers()` so they can do the same
trick.

patient reviews.

format-patch: add '--base' option to record base tree info

Maintainers or third party testers may want to know the exact base tree
the patch series applies to. Teach git format-patch a '--base' option
to record the base tree info and append it at the end of the first
message (either the cover letter or the first patch in the series).

The base tree info consists of the "base commit", which is a well-known
commit that is part of the stable part of the project history everybody
else works off of, and zero or more "prerequisite patches", which are
well-known patches in flight that is not yet part of the "base commit"
that need to be applied on top of "base commit" in topological order
before the patches can be applied.

The "base commit" is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of
the commit object name. A "prerequisite patch" is shown as
"prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can
be obtained by passing the patch through the "git patch-id --stable"
command.

Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known
patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch
series A, B, C, the history would be like:

---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C

With "git format-patch --base=P -3 C" (or variants thereof, e.g. with
"--cover-letter" of using "Z..C" instead of "-3 C" to specify the
range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the
first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the
cover letter), like this:

base-commit: P
prerequisite-patch-id: X
prerequisite-patch-id: Y
prerequisite-patch-id: Z

git-p4 tests: time_in_seconds should use $PYTHON_PATH

The time_in_seconds script should use $PYTHON_PATH, rather than
just hard-coded python, so that users can override which version
gets used, as is done for other python invocations.

git-p4 tests: work with python3 as well as python2

Update the git-p4 tests so that they work with both
Python2 and Python3.

We have to be explicit about the difference between
Unicode text strings (Python3 default) and raw binary
strings which will be exchanged with Perforce.

Additionally, print always takes parentheses in Python3.

git-p4 tests: cd to / before running python

The python one-liner for getting the current time prints out
error messages if the current directory is deleted while it is
running if using python3.

Avoid these messages by switching to "/" before running it.

This problem does not arise if using python2.

clone: add `--shallow-submodules` flagStefan Beller Tue, 26 Apr 2016 01:12:27 +0000 (18:12 -0700)

clone: add `--shallow-submodules` flag

When creating a shallow clone of a repository with submodules, the depth
argument does not influence the submodules, i.e. the submodules are done
as non-shallow clones. It is unclear what the best default is for the
depth of submodules of a shallow clone, so we need to have the possibility
to do all kinds of combinations:

* shallow super project with shallow submodules
e.g. build bots starting always from scratch. They want to transmit
the least amount of network data as well as using the least amount
of space on their hard drive.
* shallow super project with unshallow submodules
e.g. The superproject is just there to track a collection of repositories
and it is not important to have the relationship between the repositories
intact. However the history of the individual submodules matter.
* unshallow super project with shallow submodules
e.g. The superproject is the actual project and the submodule is a
library which is rarely touched.

The new switch to select submodules to be shallow or unshallow supports
all of these three cases.

It is easy to transition from the first to the second case by just
unshallowing the submodules (`git submodule foreach git fetch
--unshallow`), but it is not possible to transition from the second to the
first case (as we would have already transmitted the non shallow over
the network). That is why we want to make the first case the default in
case of a shallow super project. This leads to the inconvenience in the
second case with the shallow super project and unshallow submodules,
as you need to pass `--no-shallow-submodules`.

remote.c: spell __attribute__ correctly

We want to tell the compiler that error_buf() uses
printf()-style arguments via the __attribute__ mechanism,
but the original commit (3a429d0), forgot the trailing "__".
This happens to work with real GNUC-compatible compilers
like gcc and clang, but confuses our fallback macro in
git-compat-util.h, which only matches the official name (and
thus the build fails on compilers like Visual Studio).

"git submodule" reports the paths of submodules the command
recurses into, but this was incorrect when the command was not run
from the root level of the superproject.

Merge branch 'en/merge-trivial-fix'

When "git merge" notices that the merge can be resolved purely at
the tree level (without having to merge blobs) and the resulting
tree happens to already exist in the object store, it forgot to
update the index, which lead to an inconsistent state for later
operations.
