Documentation: Describe "git diff <blob> <blob>" separately

As it was not a common operation, it was described as if it is a
side note for the more common two-commit variant, but this mode
behaves very differently, e.g. it does not make any sense to ask
recursive behaviour, or give the command a pathspec.

t7004: do not create unneeded gpghome/gpg.conf when GPG is not used

These tests themselves are properly protected by the GPG
prerequisite, but one of the set-up steps outside the
test_expect_success block unconditionally assumed that there is a
gpghome/ directory, which is not true if GPG is not being used.

It may be a good idea to move the whole set-up steps in the test but
that is a follow-up topic.

Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears

1. jane@laptop
mailto:jane@laptop

Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to

Intent-to-add entries used to forbid writing trees so it was not a
problem. After commit 3f6d56d (commit: ignore intent-to-add entries
instead of refusing - 2012-02-07), we can generate trees from an index
with i-t-a entries.

However, the commit forgets to invalidate all paths leading to i-t-a
entries. With fully valid cache-tree (e.g. after commit or
write-tree), diff operations may prefer cache-tree to index and not
see i-t-a entries in the index, because cache-tree does not have them.

cache-tree: fix writing cache-tree when CE_REMOVE is present

entry_count is used in update_one() for two purposes:

1. to skip through the number of processed entries in in-memory index
2. to record the number of entries this cache-tree covers on disk

Unfortunately when CE_REMOVE is present these numbers are not the same
because CE_REMOVE entries are automatically removed before writing to
disk but entry_count is not adjusted and still counts CE_REMOVE
entries.

Separate the two use cases into two different variables. #1 is taken
care by the new field count in struct cache_tree_sub and entry_count
is prepared for #2.

remote-testsvn: fix unitialized variableJeff King Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:11:44 +0000 (17:11 -0500)

remote-testsvn: fix unitialized variable

In remote-test-svn, there is a parse_rev_note function to
parse lines of the form "Revision-number" from notes. If it
finds such a line and parses it, it returns 0, copying the
value into a "struct rev_note". If it finds an entry that is
garbled or out of range, it returns -1 to signal an error.

However, if it does not find any "Revision-number" line at
all, it returns success but does not put anything into the
rev_note. So upon a successful return, the rev_note may or
may not be initialized, and the caller has no way of
knowing.

gcc does not usually catch the use of the unitialized
variable because the conditional assignment happens in a
separate function from the point of use. However, when
compiling with -O3, gcc will inline parse_rev_note and
notice the problem.

We can fix it by returning "-1" when no note is found (so on
a zero return, we always found a valid value).

mailmap: default mailmap.blob in bare repositoriesJeff King Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:04:47 +0000 (08:04 -0500)

mailmap: default mailmap.blob in bare repositories

The motivation for mailmap.blob is to let users of bare
repositories use the mailmap feature, as they would not have
a checkout containing the .mailmap file. We can make it even
easier for them by just looking in HEAD:.mailmap by default.

We can't know for sure that this is where they would keep a
mailmap, of course, but it is the best guess (and it matches
the non-bare behavior, which reads from HEAD:.mailmap in the
working tree). If it's missing, git will silently ignore the
setting.

We do not do the same magic in the non-bare case, because:

1. In the common case, HEAD:.mailmap will be the same as
the .mailmap in the working tree, which is a no-op.

2. In the uncommon case, the user has modified .mailmap
but not yet committed it, and would expect the working
tree version to take precedence.

index-format.txt: clarify what is "invalid"

A cache-tree entry with a negative entry count is considered invalid
by the current Git; it records that we do not know the object name

Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but
the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later
decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to
encode optional information on such invalidated entries without
harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and
how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

mailmap: clean up read_mailmap error handlingJeff King Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:18:02 +0000 (06:18 -0500)

mailmap: clean up read_mailmap error handling

The error handling for the read_mailmap function is odd. It
returns 1 on error, rather than -1. And it treats a
non-existent mailmap as an error, even though there is no
reason that one needs to exist. Unless some other mailmap
source loads successfully, in which case the original error
is completely masked.

This does not cause any bugs, however, because no caller
bothers to check the return value, anyway. Let's make this a
little more robust to real errors and less surprising for
future callers that do check the error code:

1. Return -1 on errors.

2. Treat a missing entry (e.g., no mailmap.file given),
ENOENT, or a non-existent blob (for mailmap.blob) as
"no error".

3. Complain loudly when a real error (e.g., a transient
I/O error, no permission to open the mailmap file,
missing or corrupted blob object, etc) occurs.

contrib: update stats/mailmap script

This version changes quite a few things:

1. The original parsed the mailmap file itself, and it did
it wrong (it did not understand entries with an extra
email key).

Instead, this version uses git's "%aE" and "%aN"
formats to have git perform the mapping, meaning we do
not have to read .mailmap at all, but still operate on
the current state that git sees (and it also works
properly from subdirs).

2. The original would find multiple names for an email,
but not the other way around.

This version can do either or both. If we find multiple
emails for a name, the resolution is less obvious than
the other way around. However, it can still be a
starting point for a human to investigate.

3. The original would order only by count, not by recency.

This version can do either. Combined with showing the
counts, it can be easier to decide how to resolve.

4. This version shows similar entries in a blank-delimited
stanza, which makes it more clear which options you are
picking from.

The description of __git_ps1 function operating in two-arg mode was
not very clear. It said "set PROMPT_COMMAND=__git_ps1" which is not
the right usage for this mode, followed by "To customize the prompt,
do this", giving a false impression that those who do not want to
customize it can get away with no-arg form, which was incorrect.

Make it clear that this mode always takes two arguments, pre and
post, with an example.

The straight-forward one should be listed as the primary usage, and
the confusing one should be an alternate for advanced users. Swap
the order of these two.

Add file completion to tcsh git completion.Marc Khouzam Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:36:57 +0000 (21:36 +0000)

Add file completion to tcsh git completion.

For bash completion, the option '-o bashdefault' is used to indicate
that when no other choices are available, file completion should be
performed. Since this option is not available in tcsh, no file
completion is ever performed. Therefore, commands like 'git add ',
'git send-email ', etc, require the user to manually type out
the file name. This can be quite annoying.

To improve the user experience we try to simulate file completion
directly in this script (although not perfectly).

The known issues with the file completion simulation are:
- Possible completions are shown with their directory prefix.
- Completions containing shell variables are not handled.
- Completions with ~ as the first character are not handled.

fetch: ignore wildcarded refspecs that update local... Junio C Hamano Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:00:52 +0000 (13:00 -0800)

fetch: ignore wildcarded refspecs that update local symbolic refs

In a repository cloned from somewhere else, you typically have a
symbolic ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD pointing at the 'master'
remote-tracking ref that is next to it. When fetching into such a
repository with "git fetch --mirror" from another repository that
was similarly cloned, the implied wildcard refspec refs/*:refs/*
will end up asking to update refs/remotes/origin/HEAD with the
object at refs/remotes/origin/HEAD at the remote side, while asking
to update refs/remotes/origin/master the same way. Depending on the
order the two updates happen, the latter one would find that the
value of the ref before it is updated has changed from what the code
expects.

When the user asks to update the underlying ref via the symbolic ref
explicitly without using a wildcard refspec, e.g. "git fetch $there
refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/HEAD", we should still let him
do so, but when expanding wildcard refs, it will result in a more
intuitive outcome if we simply ignore local symbolic refs.

As the purpose of the symbolic ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is to
follow the ref it points at (e.g. refs/remotes/origin/master), its
value would change when the underlying ref is updated.

Earlier commit da3efdb (receive-pack: detect aliased updates which
can occur with symrefs, 2010-04-19) fixed a similar issue for "git
push".

A recent commit [1] fixed a off-by-one wrapping error. As a
side-effect, the conditional in add_wrapped_shortlog_msg() to decide
whether to append a newline needs to be removed. The function
should always append a newline, which was the case before the
off-by-one fix, because strbuf_add_wrapped_text() never returns a
value of wraplen; when it returns wraplen, the string does not end
with a newline, so this caller needs to add one anyway.

sh-setup: work around "unset IFS" bug in some shells

With an unset IFS, field splitting is supposed to act as if IFS is
set to the usual SP HT LF, but Marc Branchaud reports that the shell
on FreeBSD 7.2 gets this wrong.

It is easy to set it to the default value manually, and it is also
safer in case somebody tries to save the old value away and restore,
e.g.

$oIFS=$IFS
IFS=something
...
IFS=$oIFS

while forgetting that the original IFS might be unset (which can be
coded but would be more involved).

mingw_rmdir: do not prompt for retry when non-empty

in ab1a11be ("mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate"),
a check was added to prevent us from retrying to delete a directory

However, this logic was slightly flawed; since we didn't return

the prompting-loop.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...

Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.

However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

mingw: reuse tty-version of git_terminal_prompt

The getpass-implementation we use on Windows isn't at all ideal;
it works in raw-mode (as opposed to cooked mode), and as a result
does not deal correcly with deletion, arrow-keys etc.

Instead, use cooked mode to read a line at the time, allowing the
C run-time to process the input properly.

Since we set files to be opened in binary-mode by default on
Windows, introduce a FORCE_TEXT macro that expands to the "t"
modifier that forces the terminal to be opened in text-mode so we
do not have to deal with CRLF issues.

Set a control-handler to prevent the process from terminating, and
simulate SIGINT so it can be handled by a signal-handler as usual.

mingw: correct exit-code for SIGALRM's SIG_DFL

Make sure SIG_DFL for SIGALRM exits with 128 + SIGALRM so other
processes can diagnose why it exits.

While we're at it, make sure we only write to stderr if it's a
terminal, and change the output to match that of Linux.

fast-export: make sure updated refs get updatedFelipe Contreras Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:24:00 +0000 (23:24 +0100)

fast-export: make sure updated refs get updated

When an object has already been exported (and thus is in the marks) it's
flagged as SHOWN, so it will not be exported again, even if in a later
time it's exported through a different ref.

We don't need the object to be exported again, but we want the ref
updated, which doesn't happen.

Since we can't know if a ref was exported or not, let's just assume that
if the commit was marked (flags & SHOWN), the user still wants the ref
updated.

IOW: If it's specified in the command line, it will get updated,
regardless of whether or not the object was marked.

So:

% git branch test master
% git fast-export $mark_flags master
% git fast-export $mark_flags test

Would export 'test' properly.

Additionally, this fixes issues with remote helpers; now they can push
refs whose objects have already been exported, and a few other issues as
well. Update the tests accordingly.

fast-export: don't handle uninteresting refsFelipe Contreras Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:23:59 +0000 (23:23 +0100)

fast-export: don't handle uninteresting refs

They have been marked as UNINTERESTING for a reason, lets respect
that. Currently the first ref is handled properly, but not the
rest. Assuming that all the refs point at the same commit in the
following example:

% git fast-export master ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar
reset refs/heads/bar
from :0

reset refs/heads/foo
from :0

reset refs/heads/uninteresting
from :0

% git fast-export ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar master
reset refs/heads/master
from :0

reset refs/heads/bar
from :0

reset refs/heads/foo
from :0

Clearly this is wrong; the negative refs should be ignored.

After this patch:

% git fast-export ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar master
# nothing
% git fast-export master ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar
# nothing

And even more, it would only happen if the ref is pointing to exactly
the same commit, but not otherwise:

% git fast-export ^next next
reset refs/heads/next
from :0

% git fast-export ^next next^{commit}
# nothing
% git fast-export ^next next~0
# nothing
% git fast-export ^next next~1
# nothing
% git fast-export ^next next~2
# nothing

The reason this happens is that before traversing the commits,
fast-export checks if any of the refs point to the same object, and any
duplicated ref gets added to a list in order to issue 'reset' commands
after the traversing. Unfortunately, it's not even checking if the
commit is flagged as UNINTERESTING. The fix of course, is to check it.

However, in order to do it properly we need to get the UNINTERESTING
flag from the command line, not from the commit object, because
"^foo bar" will mark the commit 'bar' uninteresting if foo and bar
points at the same commit. rev_cmdline_info, which was introduced
exactly to handle this situation, contains all the information we
need for get_tags_and_duplicates(), plus the ref flag. This way the
rest of the positive refs will remain untouched; it's only the
negative ones that change in behavior.

Finishing touch to allow the new advice message squelched

status: respect advice.statusHints for ahead/behind advice

If the user has unset advice.statusHints, we already
suppress the "use git reset to..." hints in each stanza. The
new "use git push to publish..." hint is the same type of
hint. Let's respect statusHints for it, rather than making
the user set yet another advice flag.
