utf8: add function to detect prohibited UTF-16/32 BOM

Whenever a data stream is declared to be UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE
or UTF-32LE a BOM must not be used [1]. The function returns true if
this is the case.

This function is used in a subsequent commit.

The function same_encoding() could only recognize alternative names for
UTF-8 encodings. Teach it to recognize all kinds of alternative UTF
encoding names (e.g. utf16).

While we are at it, fix a crash that would occur if same_encoding() was
called with a NULL argument and a non-NULL argument.

replace-object: check_replace_refs is safe in multi repo environment

In e1111cef23 (inline lookup_replace_object() calls, 2011-05-15) a shortcut
for checking the object replacement was added by setting check_replace_refs
to 0 once the replacements were evaluated to not exist. This works fine in
with the assumption of only one repository in existence.

The assumption won't hold true any more when we work on multiple instances
of a repository structs (e.g. one struct per submodule), as the first
repository to be inspected may have no replacements and would set the
global variable. Other repositories would then completely omit their
evaluation of replacements.

This reverts back the meaning of the flag `check_replace_refs` of
"Do we need to check with the lookup table?" to "Do we need to read
the replacement definition?", adding the bypassing logic to
lookup_replace_object after the replacement definition was read.
As with the original patch, delay the renaming of the global variable

replace-object: eliminate replace objects prepared... Stefan Beller Thu, 12 Apr 2018 00:21:07 +0000 (17:21 -0700)

replace-object: eliminate replace objects prepared flag

Make the oidmap a pointer.

That way we eliminate the need for the global boolean
variable 'replace_object_prepared' as we can put this information
into the pointer being NULL or not.

Another advantage of this is that we would more quickly catch
code that tries to access replace-map without initializing it.

This also allows the '#include "oidmap.h"' introduced in a previous
patch to be replaced by the forward declaration of 'struct oidmap;'.
Keeping the type opaque discourages circumventing accessor functions;
not dragging in other headers avoids some compile time overhead.

One disadvantage of this is change is performance as we need to
pay the overhead for a malloc. The alternative of moving the
global variable into the object store is less modular code.

exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on some POSIX systems

Enable Git to resolve its own binary location using a variety of

- procfs via "/proc/self/exe" (Linux)
- _NSGetExecutablePath (Darwin)
- KERN_PROC_PATHNAME sysctl on BSDs.
- argv0, if absolute (all, including Windows).

This is used to enable RUNTIME_PREFIX support for non-Windows systems,
notably Linux and Darwin. When configured with RUNTIME_PREFIX, Git will
do a best-effort resolution of its executable path and automatically use
this as its "exec_path" for relative helper and data lookups, unless
explicitly overridden.

Makefile: add Perl runtime prefix supportDan Jacques Tue, 10 Apr 2018 15:05:43 +0000 (11:05 -0400)

Makefile: add Perl runtime prefix support

Broaden the RUNTIME_PREFIX flag to configure Git's Perl scripts to
locate the Git installation's Perl support libraries by resolving
against the script's path, rather than hard-coding that path at
build-time. Hard-coding at build time worked on previous
RUNTIME_PREFIX configurations (i.e., Windows) because the Perl
scripts were run within a virtual filesystem whose paths were
consistent regardless of the location of the actual installation.
This will no longer be the case for non-Windows RUNTIME_PREFIX users.

When enabled, RUNTIME_PREFIX now requires Perl's system paths to be
expressed relative to a common installation directory in the Makefile,
and uses that relationship to locate support files based on the known
starting point of the script being executed, much like RUNTIME_PREFIX
does for the Git binary.

This change enables Git's Perl scripts to work when their Git installation
is relocated or moved to another system, even when they are not in a
virtual filesystem environment.

Makefile: generate Perl header from template file

Currently, the generated Perl script headers are emitted by commands in

origin of the Perl script header.

Change the Makefile to generate a header by processing a template file and
move the header content into the "perl/" subdirectory. The generated
header content will now be stored in the "GIT-PERL-HEADER" file. This
allows the content of the Perl header to be controlled by changing the path
of the template in the Makefile.

commit: integrate commit graph with commit parsing

Teach Git to inspect a commit graph file to supply the contents of a
struct commit when calling parse_commit_gently(). This implementation
satisfies all post-conditions on the struct commit, including loading
parents, the root tree, and the commit date.

If core.commitGraph is false, then do not check graph files.

In test script t5318-commit-graph.sh, add output-matching conditions on
read-only graph operations.

By loading commits from the graph instead of parsing commit buffers, we
save a lot of time on long commit walks. Here are some performance
results for a copy of the Linux repository where 'master' has 678,653
reachable commits and is behind 'origin/master' by 59,929 commits.

completion: improve ls-files filter performanceClemens Buchacher Wed, 4 Apr 2018 07:46:58 +0000 (09:46 +0200)

completion: improve ls-files filter performance

From the output of ls-files, we remove all but the leftmost path
component and then we eliminate duplicates. We do this in a while loop,
which is a performance bottleneck when the number of iterations is large
(e.g. for 60000 files in linux.git).

$ COMP_WORDS=(git status -- ar) COMP_CWORD=3; time _git

real 0m11.876s
user 0m4.685s
sys 0m6.808s

Replacing the loop with the cut command improves performance
significantly:

$ COMP_WORDS=(git status -- ar) COMP_CWORD=3; time _git

real 0m1.372s
user 0m0.263s
sys 0m0.167s

The measurements were done with Msys2 bash, which is used by Git for
Windows.

When filtering the ls-files output we take care not to touch absolute
paths. This is redundant, because ls-files will never output absolute
paths. Remove the unnecessary operations.

builtin/config.c: treat type specifiers singularlyTaylor Blau Mon, 9 Apr 2018 22:46:54 +0000 (15:46 -0700)

builtin/config.c: treat type specifiers singularly

Internally, we represent `git config`'s type specifiers as a bitset
using OPT_BIT. 'bool' is 1<<0, 'int' is 1<<1, and so on. This technique
allows for the representation of multiple type specifiers in the `int
types` field, but this multi-representation is left unused.

In fact, `git config` will not accept multiple type specifiers at a
time, as indicated by:

$ git config --int --bool some.section
error: only one type at a time.

This patch uses `OPT_SET_INT` to prefer the _last_ mentioned type
specifier, so that the above command would instead be valid, and a
synonym of:

$ git config --bool some.section

This change is motivated by two urges: (1) it does not make sense to
represent a singular type specifier internally as a bitset, only to
complain when there are multiple bits in the set. `OPT_SET_INT` is more
well-suited to this task than `OPT_BIT` is. (2) a future patch will
introduce `--type=<type>`, and we would like not to complain in the
following situation:

$ git config --int --type=int

git_config_set: reuse empty sectionsJohannes Schindelin Mon, 9 Apr 2018 08:32:29 +0000 (10:32 +0200)

git_config_set: reuse empty sections

It can happen quite easily that the last setting in a config section is
removed, and to avoid confusion when there are comments in the config
about that section, we keep a lone section header, i.e. an empty
section.

Now that we use the `event_fn` callback, it is easy to add support for
re-using empty sections, so let's do that.

Note: t5512-ls-remote requires that this change is applied *after* the
patch "git config --unset: remove empty sections (in the common case)":
without that patch, there would be empty `transfer` and `uploadpack`
sections ready for reuse, but in the *wrong* order (and sconsequently,
t5512's "overrides work between mixed transfer/upload-pack hideRefs"
would fail).

git config --unset: remove empty sections (in the common case)

The original reasoning for not removing section headers upon removal of
the last entry went like this: the user could have added comments about
the section, or about the entries therein, and if there were other
comments there, we would not know whether we should remove them.

In particular, a concocted example was presented that looked like this
(and was added to t1300):

# some generic comment on the configuration file itself
# a comment specific to this "section" section.

# some intervening lines
# that should also be dropped

key = value
# please be careful when you update the above variable

The ideal thing for `git config --unset section.key` in this case would
be to leave only the first line behind, because all the other comments
are now obsolete.

However, this is unfeasible, short of adding a complete Natural Language
Processing module to Git, which seems not only a lot of work, but a
totally unreasonable feature (for little benefit to most users).

Now, the real kicker about this problem is: most users do not edit their
config files at all! In their use case, the config looks like this
instead:

[section]
key = value

... and it is totally obvious what should happen if the entry is
removed: the entire section should vanish.

Let's generalize this observation to this conservative strategy: if we
are removing the last entry from a section, and there are no comments
inside that section nor surrounding it, then remove the entire section.
Otherwise behave as before: leave the now-empty section (including those
comments, even ones about the now-deleted entry).

We have to be extra careful to handle the case where more than one entry
is removed: any subset of them might be the last entries of their
respective sections (and if there are no comments in or around that
section, the section should be removed, too).

git_config_set: make use of the config parser's event... Johannes Schindelin Mon, 9 Apr 2018 08:32:20 +0000 (10:32 +0200)

git_config_set: make use of the config parser's event stream

In the recent commit with the title "config: introduce an optional event
stream while parsing", we introduced an optional callback to keep track
of the config parser's events "comment", "white-space", "section header"
and "entry".

One motivation for this feature was to make use of it in the code that
edits the config. And this commit makes it so.

Note: this patch changes the meaning of the `seen` array that records
whether we saw the config entry that is to be edited: previously, it
contained the end offset of the found entry. Now, we introduce a new
array `parsed` that keeps a record of *all* config parser events (with
begin/end offsets), and the items in the `seen` array now point into the
`parsed` array.

There are two reasons why we do it this way:

1. To keep the implementation simple, the config parser's event stream
reports the event only after the config callback was called, so we
would not receive the begin offset otherwise.

2. In the following patches, we will re-use the `parsed` array to fix two
long-standing bugs related to empty sections.

Note that this also makes the code more robust with respect to finding the
begin offset of the part(s) of the config file to be edited, as we no
longer back-track to find the beginning of the line.

git_config_set: do not use a state machineJohannes Schindelin Mon, 9 Apr 2018 08:32:17 +0000 (10:32 +0200)

git_config_set: do not use a state machine

While a neat theoretical construct, state machines are hard to read. In
this instance, it does not even make a whole lot of sense because we are
more interested in flags, anyway: has the section been seen? Has the key
been seen? Does the current section match the key we are looking for?

Besides, the state `SECTION_SEEN` was named in a misleading way: it did
not indicate that we saw the section matching the key we are looking
for, but it instead indicated that we are *currently* in that section.

Let's just replace the state machine logic by clear and obvious flags.

This will also make it easier to review the upcoming patches to use the
newly-introduced `event_fn` callback of the config parser.

config_set_store: rename some fields for consistency

The `seen` field is the actual length of the `offset` array, and the
`offset_alloc` field records what was allocated (to avoid resizing
wherever `seen` has to be incremented).

Elsewhere, we use the convention `name` for the array, where `name` is
descriptive enough to guess its purpose, `name_nr` for the actual length
and `name_alloc` to record the maximum length without needing to resize.

Let's make the names of the fields in question consistent with that
convention.

This will also help with the next steps where we will let the
git_config_set() machinery use the config event stream that we just
introduced.

config: introduce an optional event stream while parsing

This extends our config parser so that it can optionally produce an event
stream via callback function, where it reports e.g. when a comment was
parsed, or a section header, etc.

This parser will be used subsequently to handle the scenarios better where
removing config entries would make sections empty, or where a new entry
could be added to an already-existing, empty section.

t5404: relax overzealous test

In 0b294c0abf0 (make deleting a missing ref more quiet, 2008-07-08), we
added a test to verify that deleting an already-deleted ref does not
show an error.

Our test simply looks for the substring 'error' in the output of the
`git push`, which might look innocuous on the face of it.

Suppose, however, that you are a big fan of whales. Or even better: your
IT administrator has a whale of a time picking cute user names, e.g.
referring to you (due to your like of India Pale Ales) as "one of the
cuter rorquals" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual to learn a
thing or two about rorquals) and hence your home directory becomes
/home/cuterrorqual. If you now run t5404, it fails! Why? Because the
test calls `git push origin :b3` which outputs:

To /home/cuterrorqual/git/t/trash directory.t5404-tracking-branches/.
- [deleted] b3

Note how there is no error displayed in that output? But of course
"error" is a substring of "cuterrorqual". And so that `grep error
output` finds something.

This bug was not, actually, caught having "error" as a substring of the
user name but while working in a worktree called "colorize-push-errors",
whose name was part of that output, too, suggesting that not even
testing for the *word* `error` via `git grep -w error output` would fix
the underlying issue.

This patch chooses instead to look for the prefix "error:" at the
beginning of the line, so that there can be no ambiguity that any catch
was indeed a message generated by Git's `error_builtin()` function.

git-svn: avoid warning on undef readline()Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Fri, 6 Apr 2018 13:15:14 +0000 (13:15 +0000)

git-svn: avoid warning on undef readline()

Change code in Git.pm that sometimes calls chomp() on undef to only do
so the value is defined.

This code has been chomping undef values ever since it was added in
b26098fc2f ("git-svn: reduce scope of input record separator change",
2016-10-14), but started warning due to the introduction of "use
warnings" to Git.pm in my f0e19cb7ce ("Git.pm: add the "use warnings"
pragma", 2018-02-25) released with 2.17.0.

Since this function will return undef in those cases it's still
possible that the code using it will warn if it does a chomp of its
own, as the code added in b26098fc2f ("git-svn: reduce scope of input
record separator change", 2016-10-14) might do, but since git-svn has
"use warnings" already that's clearly not a codepath that's going to
warn.
