Commit b0db704652 (pathspec: allow querying for attributes -
2017-03-13) adds new pathspec magic 'attr' but only with
match_pathspec(). "git add" has some pathspec related code that still
does not know about 'attr' and will bail out:
A better solution would be making this code support 'attr'. But I
don't know how much work is needed (I'm not familiar with this new
magic). For now, let's simply reject this magic with a friendlier
message:
$ git add ':(attr:foo)'
fatal: :(attr:foo): pathspec magic not supported by this command: 'attr'
Update t6135 so that the expected error message is from the
"graceful" rejection codepath, not "oops, we were supposed to reject
the request to trigger this magic" codepath.

linear-assignment: fix potential out of bounds memory access
Currently the 'compute_assignment()' function may read memory out
of bounds, even if used correctly. Namely this happens when we only
have one column. In that case we try to calculate the initial
minimum cost using '!j1' as column in the reduction transfer code.
That in turn causes us to try and get the cost from column 1 in the
cost matrix, which does not exist, and thus results in an out of
bounds memory read.
In the original paper [1], the example code initializes that minimum
cost to "infinite". We could emulate something similar by setting the
minimum cost to INT_MAX, which would result in the same minimum cost
as the current algorithm, as we'd always go into the if condition at
least once, except when we only have one column, and column_count thus
equals 1.
If column_count does equal 1, the condition in the loop would always
be false, and we'd end up with a minimum of INT_MAX, which may lead to
integer overflows later in the algorithm.
For a column count of 1, we however do not even really need to go
through the whole algorithm. A column count of 1 means that there's
no possible assignments, and we can just zero out the column2row and
row2column arrays, and return early from the function, while keeping
the reduction transfer part of the function the same as it is
currently.
Another solution would be to just not call the 'compute_assignment()'
function from the range diff code in this case, however it's better to
make the compute_assignment function more robust, so future callers
don't run into this potential problem.
Note that the test only fails under valgrind on Linux, but the same
command has been reported to segfault on Mac OS.

sequencer: fix --allow-empty-message behavior, make it smarter
In commit b00bf1c9a8dd ("git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the
default", 2018-06-27), several arguments were given for transplanting
empty commits without halting and asking the user for confirmation on
each commit. These arguments were incomplete because the logic clearly
assumed the only cases under consideration were transplanting of commits
with empty messages (see the comment about "There are two sources for
commits with empty messages). It didn't discuss or even consider
rewords, squashes, etc. where the user is explicitly asked for a new
commit message and provides an empty one. (My bad, I totally should
have thought about that at the time, but just didn't.)
Rewords and squashes are significantly different, though, as described
by SZEDER:
Let's suppose you start an interactive rebase, choose a commit to
squash, save the instruction sheet, rebase fires up your editor, and
then you notice that you mistakenly chose the wrong commit to
squash. What do you do, how do you abort?
Before [that commit] you could clear the commit message, exit the
editor, and then rebase would say "Aborting commit due to empty
commit message.", and you get to run 'git rebase --abort', and start
over.
But [since that commit, ...] saving the commit message as is would
let rebase continue and create a bunch of unnecessary objects, and
then you would have to use the reflog to return to the pre-rebase
state.
Also, he states:
The instructions in the commit message template, which is shown for
'reword' and 'squash', too, still say...
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
These are sound arguments that when editing commit messages during a
sequencer operation, that if the commit message is empty then the
operation should halt and ask the user to correct. The arguments in
commit b00bf1c9a8dd (referenced above) still apply when transplanting
previously created commits with empty commit messages, so the sequencer
should not halt for those.
Furthermore, all rationale so far applies equally for cherry-pick as for
rebase. Therefore, make the code default to --allow-empty-message when
transplanting an existing commit, and to default to halting when the
user is asked to edit a commit message and provides an empty one -- for
both rebase and cherry-pick.

If passed both --no-deref and --stdin, update-ref would error out with a
general usage message that did not at all suggest these options were
incompatible. The manpage for update-ref did suggest through its
synopsis line that --no-deref and --stdin were incompatible, but it sadly
also incorrectly suggested that -d and --no-deref were incompatible. So
the help around the --no-deref option is buggy in a few ways.
The --stdin option did provide a different mechanism for avoiding
dereferencing symbolic-refs: adding a line reading
option no-deref
before every other directive in the input. (Technically, if the user
wants to do the extra work of first determining which refs they want to
update or delete are symbolic, then they only need to put the extra
"option no-deref" lines before the updates of those refs. But in some
cases, that's more work than just adding the "option no-deref" before
every other directive.)
It's easier to allow the user to just pass --no-deref along with --stdin
in order to tell update-ref that the user doesn't want any symbolic ref
to be dereferenced. It also makes the update-ref documentation simpler.
Implement that, and update the documentation to match.

passed around as argument to any of the commands executed as a result
of undesired pathspec expansion. This check is done with 'grep' using
the filename on its own as the pattern, which is too loose a pattern,
and would match any occurrences of the filename in the trace output,
not just those as command arguments. E.g. if a developer were to
litter the index handling code with trace_printf()s printing, among
other things, the name of the just processed cache entry, then that
pattern would mistakenly match these as well, and would fail the test.
Tighten this 'grep' pattern to only match trace lines that show the

We currently build cleanly with -Wformat-security, and it's
a good idea to make sure we continue to do so (since calls
that trigger the warning may be security vulnerabilities).
Note that we cannot use the stronger -Wformat-nonliteral, as
there are case where we are clever with passing around
pointers to string literals. E.g., bisect_rev_setup() takes
bad_format and good_format parameters. These ultimately come
from literals, but they still trigger the warning.
Some of these might be fixable (e.g., by passing flags from
which we locally select a format), and might even be worth
fixing (not because of security, but just because it's an
easy mistake to pass the wrong format). But there are other
cases which are likely quite hard to fix (we actually
generate formats in a local buffer in some cases). So let's
punt on that for now and start with -Wformat-security, which
is supposed to catch the most important cases.

The earlier attempt barfed when given a CONTENT_LENGTH that is
set to an empty string. RFC 3875 is fairly clear that in this
case we should not read any message body, but we've been reading
through to the EOF in previous versions (which did not even pay
attention to the environment variable), so keep that behaviour for
now in this late update.
v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~1 (submodule: ensure core.worktree is set after
update, 2018-06-18) assumes an "absorbed" submodule layout, where the
submodule's Git directory is in the superproject's .git/modules/
directory and .git in the submodule worktree is a .git file pointing
there. In particular, it uses $GIT_DIR/modules/$name to find the
submodule to find out whether it already has core.worktree set, and it
uses connect_work_tree_and_git_dir if not, resulting in
fatal: could not open sub/.git for writing
The context behind that patch: v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~2 (submodule: unset
core.worktree if no working tree is present, 2018-06-12) unsets
core.worktree when running commands like "git checkout
--recurse-submodules" to switch to a branch without the submodule. If
a user then uses "git checkout --no-recurse-submodules" to switch back
to a branch with the submodule and runs "git submodule update", this
patch is needed to ensure that commands using the submodule directly
are aware of the path to the worktree.
It is late in the release cycle, so revert the whole 3-patch series.
We can try again later for 2.20.

"cette" can be only be used before a word (like in "cette bouteille" for
"this bottle"), but here "this" refers to the current step and we have
to use "ceci" in French.
We provide a reopen_tempfile() function, which is in turn
used by reopen_lockfile(). The idea is that a caller may
want to rewrite the tempfile without letting go of the lock.
And that's what our one caller does: after running
add--interactive, "commit -p" will update the cache-tree
extension of the index and write out the result, all while
holding the lock.
However, because we open the file with only the O_WRONLY
flag, the existing index content is left in place, and we
overwrite it starting at position 0. If the new index after
updating the cache-tree is smaller than the original, those
final bytes are not overwritten and remain in the file. This
results in a corrupt index, since those cruft bytes are
interpreted as part of the trailing hash (or even as an
extension, if there are enough bytes).
This bug actually pre-dates reopen_tempfile(); the original
code from 9c4d6c0297 (cache-tree: Write updated cache-tree
after commit, 2014-07-13) has the same bug, and those lines
were eventually refactored into the tempfile module. Nobody
noticed until now for two reasons:
- the bug can only be triggered in interactive mode
("commit -p" or "commit -i")
- the size of the index must shrink after updating the
cache-tree, which implies a non-trivial deletion. Notice
that the included test actually has to create a 2-deep
hierarchy. A single level is not enough to actually cause
shrinkage.
The fix is to truncate the file before writing out the
second index. We can do that at the caller by using
ftruncate(). But we shouldn't have to do that. There is no
other place in Git where we want to open a file and
overwrite bytes, making reopen_tempfile() a confusing and
error-prone interface. Let's pass O_TRUNC there, which gives
callers the same state they had after initially opening the
file or lock.
It's possible that we could later add a caller that wants
something else (e.g., to open with O_APPEND). But this is
the only caller we've had in the history of the codebase.
Let's punt on doing anything more clever until another one
comes along.

rebase -i --autosquash: demonstrate a problem skipping the last squash
The `git commit --squash` command can be used not only to amend commit

For example, when the author information of a given commit is incorrect,
a user might call `git commit --allow-empty -m "Fix author" --squash
<commit>`, to remind them to fix that during the rebase. When the editor
would pop up, the user would simply delete the commit message to abort
the rebase at this stage, fix the author information, and continue with
`git rebase --skip`. (This is a real-world example from the rebase of
Git for Windows onto v2.19.0-rc1.)
However, there is a bug in `git rebase` that will cause the squash
message *not* to be forgotten in this case. It will therefore be reused
in the next fixup/squash chain (if any).

commit: don't use generation numbers if not needed
In 3afc679b "commit: use generations in paint_down_to_common()",
the queue in paint_down_to_common() was changed to use a priority
order based on generation number before commit date. This served
two purposes:
1. When generation numbers are present, the walk guarantees
correct topological relationships, regardless of clock skew in
commit dates.
2. It enables short-circuiting the walk when the min_generation
parameter is added in d7c1ec3e "commit: add short-circuit to
paint_down_to_common()". This short-circuit helps commands
like 'git branch --contains' from needing to walk to a merge
base when we know the result is false.
The commit message for 3afc679b includes the following sentence:
This change does not affect the number of commits that are
walked during the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only
the order that those commits are inspected.
This statement is incorrect. Because it changes the order in which
the commits are inspected, it changes the order they are added to
the queue, and hence can change the number of loops before the
queue_has_nonstale() method returns true.
This change makes a concrete difference depending on the topology
of the commit graph. For instance, computing the merge-base between
consecutive versions of the Linux kernel has no effect for versions
after v4.9, but 'git merge-base v4.8 v4.9' presents a performance
regression:
v2.18.0: 0.122s
v2.19.0-rc1: 0.547s
HEAD: 0.127s
To determine that this was simply an ordering issue, I inserted
a counter within the while loop of paint_down_to_common() and
found that the loop runs 167,468 times in v2.18.0 and 635,579
times in v2.19.0-rc1.
The topology of this case can be described in a simplified way
here:
v4.9
| \
| \
v4.8 \
| \ \
| \ |
... A B
| / /
| / /
|/__/
C
Here, the "..." means "a very long line of commits". By generation
number, A and B have generation one more than C. However, A and B
have commit date higher than most of the commits reachable from
v4.8. When the walk reaches v4.8, we realize that it has PARENT1
and PARENT2 flags, so everything it can reach is marked as STALE,
including A. B has only the PARENT1 flag, so is not STALE.
When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_commit_date, A and B are removed from the queue
early and C is inserted into the queue. At this point, C and the
rest of the queue entries are marked as STALE. The loop then
terminates.
When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date, B is removed from the
queue only after the many commits reachable from v4.8 are explored.
This causes the loop to run longer. The reason for this regression
is simple: the queue order is intended to not explore a commit
until everything that _could_ reach that commit is explored. From
the information gathered by the original ordering, we have no
guarantee that there is not a commit D reachable from v4.8 that
can also reach B. We gained absolute correctness in exchange for
a performance regression.
The performance regression is probably the worse option, since
these incorrect results in paint_down_to_common() are rare. The
topology required for the performance regression are less rare,
but still require multiple merge commits where the parents differ
greatly in generation number. In our example above, the commit A
is as important as the commit B to demonstrate the problem, since
otherwise the commit C will sit in the queue as non-stale just as
long in both orders.
The solution provided uses the min_generation parameter to decide
if we should use generation numbers in our ordering. When
min_generation is equal to zero, it means that the caller has no
known cutoff for the walk, so we should rely on our commit-date
heuristic as before; this is the case with merge_bases_many().
When min_generation is non-zero, then the caller knows a valuable
cutoff for the short-circuit mechanism; this is the case with
remove_redundant() and in_merge_bases_many().

Using git-am (or am-based rebase) to apply the changes from branch onto
master results in the following tree:
Result: bar_merged, goo/{file1, file2, file3}
This is not what users want; they did not rename foo/ -> goo/, they only
renamed one file within that directory. The reason this happens is am
constructs fake trees (via build_fake_ancestor()) of the following form:
You can see that merge_recursive_generic() would see branch_bfa as renaming
foo/ -> goo/, and master as just adding both foo/file1 and foo/file2. As
such, it ends up with goo/{file1, file2, file3}
The core problem is that am does not have access to the original trees; it
can only construct trees using the blobs involved in the patch. As such,
it is not safe to perform directory rename detection within am -3.

.gitattributes: add conflict-marker-size for relevant files
Some files in git.git contain lines that look like conflict markers,

Having conflict markers the same length as the actual content can be
confusing for humans, and is impossible to handle for tools like 'git

A here-doc tag can be quoted ('EOF'/"EOF") or escaped (\EOF) to suppress
interpolation within the body. chainlint recognizes single-quoted and
escaped tags, but does not know about double-quoted tags. For
completeness, teach it to recognize double-quoted tags, as well.

The iconv that comes with a FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 box I have access
to doesn't support the SHIFT-JIS encoding. Guard a test added in e92d62253 ("convert: add round trip check based on
'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'", 2018-04-15) first released with Git
v2.18.0 with a prerequisite that checks for its availability.
The iconv command is in POSIX, and we have numerous tests
unconditionally relying on its ability to convert ASCII, UTF-8 and
UTF-16, but unconditionally relying on the presence of more obscure
encodings isn't portable.

On both AIX 7200-00-01-1543 and FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 the
"${var:-"str"}" syntax means something different than what it does
under the bash or dash shells.
Both will consider the start of the new unescaped quotes to be a new
argument to test_expect_success, resulting in the following error:
error: bug in the test script: 'git diff-tree initial # magic
is (not' does not look like a prereq
Fix this by removing the redundant quotes. There's no need for them,
and the resulting code works under all the aforementioned shells. This
fixes a regression in c2f1d3989 ("t4013: test new output from diff
--abbrev --raw", 2017-12-03) first released with Git v2.16.0.

The --file option to grep isn't in POSIX[1], but -f is[1]. Let's check

tests: fix version-specific portability issue in Perl JSON
The test guarded by PERLJSON added in 75459410ed ("json_writer: new
routines to create JSON data", 2018-07-13) assumed that a JSON boolean
value like "true" or "false" would be represented as "1" or "0" in
Perl.
This behavior can't be relied upon, e.g. with JSON.pm 2.50 and
JSON::PP. A JSON::PP::Boolean object will be represented as "true"
or "false". To work around this let's check if we have any refs left
after we check for hashes and arrays, assume those are JSON objects,
and coerce them to a known boolean value.
The behavior of this test still looks odd to me. Why implement our own
ad-hoc encoder just for some one-off test, as opposed to say Perl's
own Data::Dumper with Sortkeys et al? But with this change it works,
so let's leave it be.

The seq command is not in POSIX, and doesn't exist on
e.g. OpenBSD. We've had the test_seq wrapper since d17cf5f3a3 ("tests:
Introduce test_seq", 2012-08-04), but use of it keeps coming back,
e.g. in the recently added "fetch negotiator" tests being added here.
So let's also add a check to "make test-lint". The regex is aiming to
capture the likes of $(seq ..) and "seq" as a stand-alone command,
without capturing some existing cases where we e.g. have files called
"seq", as \bseq\b would do.

tests: fix and add lint for non-portable head -c N
The "head -c BYTES" option is non-portable (not in POSIX[1]). Change
such invocations to use the test_copy_bytes wrapper added in 48860819e8 ("t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacement",
2016-06-30).
This fixes a test added in 9d2e330b17 ("ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check
mmap reads", 2018-06-14), which has been breaking
t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh on OpenBSD since 2.18.0. The OpenBSD ports
already have a similar workaround after their upgrade to 2.18.0[2].
I have not tested this on IRIX, but according to 4de0bbd898 ("t9300:
use perl "head -c" clone in place of "dd bs=1 count=16000" kluge",
2010-12-13) this invocation would have broken things there too.
Also, change a valgrind-specific codepath in test-lib.sh to use this
wrapper. Given where valgrind runs I don't think this would ever
become a portability issue in practice, but it's easier to just use
the wrapper than introduce some exception for the "make test-lint"
check being added here.
The core.commitGraph config setting was accidentally removed from

The append_signoff() function takes an "int" to specify the
number of bytes to ignore. Most callers just pass 0, and the
remainder use ignore_non_trailer() to skip over cruft.
That function also returns an int, and uses them internally.
On systems where size_t is larger than an int (i.e., most
64-bit systems), dealing with a ridiculously large commit
message could end up overflowing an int, producing
surprising results (e.g., returning a negative offset, which
would cause us to look outside the original string).
Let's consistently use size_t for these offsets through this
whole stack. As a bonus, this makes the meaning of
"ignore_footer" as an offset (and not a boolean) more clear.
But while we're here, let's also document the interface.

sequencer: ignore "---" divider when parsing trailers
When the sequencer code appends a signoff or cherry-pick
origin, it uses the default trailer-parsing options, which
treat "---" as the end of the commit message. As a result,
it may be fooled by a commit message that contains that
string and fail to find the existing trailer block. Even
more confusing, the actual append code does not know about
"---", and always appends to the end of the string. This can
lead to bizarre results. E.g., appending a signoff to a
commit message like this:
subject
body
---
these dashes confuse the parser!
Signed-off-by: A
results in output with a final block like:
Signed-off-by: A Signed-off-by: A
The parser thinks the final line of the message is "body",
and ignores everything else, claiming there are no trailers.
So we output an extra newline separator (wrong) and add a
duplicate signoff (also wrong).
Since we know we are feeding a pure commit message, we can
simply tell the parser to ignore the "---" divider.

pretty, ref-filter: format %(trailers) with no_divider option
In both of these cases we know that we are feeding the
trailer-parsing code a pure commit message. We should tell
it so, which avoids false positives for a commit message
that contains a "---" line.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Even with the newly-tightened "---" parser, it's still
possible for a commit message to trigger a false positive if
it contains something like "--- foo". If the caller knows
that it has only a single commit message, it can now tell us
with the "--no-divider" option, eliminating any false
positives.
If we were designing this from scratch, I'd probably make
this the default. But we've advertised the "---" behavior in
the documentation since interpret-trailers has existed.
Since it's meant to be scripted, breaking that would be a
bad idea.
Note that the logic is in the underlying trailer.c code,
which is used elsewhere. The default there will keep the
current behavior, but many callers will benefit from setting
this new option. That's left for future patches.

interpret-trailers: tighten check for "---" patch boundary
The interpret-trailers command accepts not only raw commit
messages, but it also can manipulate trailers in
format-patch output. That means it must find the "---"
boundary separating the commit message from the patch.
However, it does so by looking for any line starting with
"---", regardless of whether there is further content.
This is overly lax compared to the parsing done in
mailinfo.c's patchbreak(), and may cause false positives
(e.g., t/perf output tables uses dashes; if you cut and
paste them into your commit message, it fools the parser).
We could try to reuse patchbreak() here, but it actually has
several heuristics that are not of interest to us (e.g.,
matching "diff -" without a three-dash separator or even a
CVS "Index:" line). We're not interested in taking in
whatever random cruft people may send, but rather handling
git-formatted patches.
Note that the existing documentation was written in a loose
way, so technically we are changing the behavior from what
it said. But this should implement the original intent in a
more accurate way.
