Add --verbose|-v to test-chmtime

This allows us replace perl when getting the mtime of a file because
of time zone conversions, though at the moment only one platform which
does this has been identified: Cygwin when used with ActiveState Perl
(as usual).

The output format is:

<mtime1> TAB <filename1> <LF>
<mtime2> TAB <filename2> <LF>
...

which, if only mtime is needed can be parsed with cut(1):

test-chmtime -v +0 filename1 | cut -f 1

Also, the change adds a description of programs features, with examples.

Fix testcase failure when extended attributes are in use

06cbe855 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) made
several testcases in t1301-shared-repo.sh which fail if on a system
which creates files with extended attributes (e.g. SELinux), since ls
appends a '+' sign to the permission set in such cases. In fact,
POSIX.1 allows ls to add a single printable character after the usual
3x3 permission bits to show that an optional alternate/additional access
method is associated with the path.

This fixes the testcase to strip any such sign prior to verifying the
permission set.

xdiff-interface.c: strip newline (and cr) from line before pattern matching

POSIX doth sayeth:

"In the regular expression processing described in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
the <newline> is regarded as an ordinary character and both a period and
a non-matching list can match one. ... Those utilities (like grep) that
do not allow <newline>s to match are responsible for eliminating any
<newline> from strings before matching against the RE."

Thus far git has not been removing the trailing newline from strings matched
against regular expression patterns. This has the effect that (quoting
Jonathan del Strother) "... a line containing just 'FUNCNAME' (terminated by
a newline) will be matched by the pattern '^(FUNCNAME.$)' but not
'^(FUNCNAME$)'", and more simply not '^FUNCNAME$'.

This test used the non-zero exit status of 'git diff' to indicate that a

The problem with this is that 'git diff' always returns non-zero if it
finds differences in the files it is comparing, and the files must
contain differences in order to trigger the funcname pattern codepath.

Instead of checking for non-zero exit status, make sure the expected
error message is printed.

fix pread()'s short read in index-pack

Since v1.6.0.2~13^2~ the completion of a thin pack uses sha1write() for
its ability to compute a SHA1 on the written data. This also provides
data buffering which, along with commit 92392b4a45, will confuse pread()
whenever an appended object is 1) freed due to memory pressure because
of the depth-first delta processing, and 2) needed again because it has
many delta children, and 3) its data is still buffered by sha1write().

Let's fix the issue by simply forcing cached data out when such an
object is written so it can be pread()'d at leisure.

git-stash.sh: fix flawed fix of invalid ref handling... Brandon Casey Thu, 2 Oct 2008 23:52:11 +0000 (18:52 -0500)

git-stash.sh: fix flawed fix of invalid ref handling (commit da65e7c1)

The referenced commit tried to fix a flaw in stash's handling of a user
supplied invalid ref. i.e. 'git stash apply fake_ref@{0}' should fail
instead of applying stash@{0}. But, it did so in a naive way by avoiding the
use of the --default option of rev-parse, and instead manually supplied the
default revision if the user supplied an empty command line. This prevented
a common usage scenario of supplying flags on the stash command line (i.e.
non-empty command line) which would be parsed by lower level git commands,
without supplying a specific revision. This should fall back to the default
revision, but now it causes an error. e.g. 'git stash show -p'

The correct fix is to use the --verify option of rev-parse, which fails
properly if an invalid ref is supplied, and still allows falling back to a
default ref when one is not supplied.

Convert stash-drop to use --verify while we're at it, since specifying
multiple revisions for any of these commands is also an error and --verify
makes it so.

git init: --bare/--shared overrides system/global configDeskin Miller Tue, 7 Oct 2008 05:37:48 +0000 (01:37 -0400)

git init: --bare/--shared overrides system/global config

If core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set in /etc/gitconfig or
~/.gitconfig, then 'git init' will read the values when constructing a
new config file; reading them, however, will override the values
specified on the command line. In the case of --bare, this ends up
causing a segfault, without the repository being properly initialised;
in the case of --shared, the permissions are set according to the
existing config settings, not what was specified on the command line.

This fix saves any specified values for --bare and --shared prior to
reading existing config settings, and restores them after reading but
before writing the new config file. core.bare is ignored in all
situations, while core.sharedRepository will only be used if --shared
is not specified to git init.

Also includes testcases which use a specified global config file
override, demonstrating the former failure scenario.

them the returned pointer was checked to be non-zero and only to
call exit(128) as it is usually done by die(). In other 8 places,
the returned value was not checked and it caused SIGSEGV when a
path outside of the working tree was used. For instance, running
git update-index --add /some/path/outside
caused SIGSEGV.

This patch changes prefix_path() to die if the path is outside of
the repository, so it never returns NULL.

fix bogus "diff --git" header from "diff --no-index"Linus Torvalds Sun, 5 Oct 2008 19:35:15 +0000 (15:35 -0400)

fix bogus "diff --git" header from "diff --no-index"

When "git diff --no-index" is given an absolute pathname, it
would generate a diff header with the absolute path
prepended by the prefix, like:

diff --git a/dev/null b/foo

Not only is this nonsensical, and not only does it violate
the description of diffs given in git-diff(1), but it would
produce broken binary diffs. Unlike text diffs, the binary
diffs don't contain the filenames anywhere else, and so "git
apply" relies on this header to figure out the filename.

This patch just refuses to use an invalid name for anything
visible in the diff.

Now, this fixes the "git diff --no-index --binary a
/dev/null" kind of case (and we'll end up using "a" as the
basename), but some other insane cases are impossible to
handle. If you do

git diff --no-index --binary a /bin/echo

you'll still get a patch like

diff --git a/a b/bin/echo
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
index ...

and "git apply" will refuse to apply it for a couple of
reasons, and the diff is simply bogus.

And that, btw, is no longer a bug, I think. It's impossible
to know whethe the user meant for the patch to be a rename
or not. And as such, refusing to apply it because you don't
know what name you should use is probably _exactly_ the
right thing to do!

Makefile: do not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 8Jeff King Fri, 3 Oct 2008 06:39:36 +0000 (02:39 -0400)

Makefile: do not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 8

This breaks my build on Solaris 8, as there is no separate
libiconv.

The history of this line is somewhat convoluted. In 2fd955c
(in November 2005), NEEDS_LIBICONV was turned on for all
Solaris builds, claiming to "fix an error in Solaris 10 by
setting NEEDS_LIBICONV".

Later, e15f545 (in February of 2006) claimed that "Solaris
9+ don't need iconv", and moved NEEDS_LIBICONV into a
section for Solaris 8.

Furthermore, Brandon Casey claims in

<5A1KxlhmUIHe8iXPxnXYuNXsq0Yjlbwkz2eBin3z7ELuL9nK-4tSpw@cipher.nrlssc.navy.mil>

that he does not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 7.

So either one of those commits is totally wrong, or there is
some other magic going on where some Solaris installs need
it and others don't.

Given Brandon's statement and my problems on Solaris 8 with
NEEDS_LIBICONV, I am inclined to think the first commit was
bogus, and that NEEDS_LIBICONV shouldn't be set for Solaris
at all by default. If somebody wants to use iconv and has
installed it manually, they can set it in their config.mak.

gitweb: Fix two 'uninitialized value' warnings in git_tree()

If we did try to access nonexistent directory or file, which means
that git_get_hash_by_path() returns `undef`, uninitialized $hash
variable was passed to 'open' call. Now we fail early with "404 Not
Found - No such tree" error. (If we try to access something which
does not resolve to tree-ish, for example a file / 'blob' object, the
error will be caught later, as "404 Not Found - Reading tree failed"
error).

If we tried to use 'tree' action without $file_name ('f' parameter)
set, which means either tree given by hash or a top tree (and we
currently cannot distinguish between those two cases), we cannot print
path breadcrumbs with git_print_page_path(). Fix this by moving call
to git_print_page_path() inside conditional.

git-stash.sh: don't default to refs/stash if invalid ref supplied

apply_stash() and show_stash() each call rev-parse with
'--default refs/stash' as an argument. This option causes rev-parse to
operate on refs/stash if it is not able to successfully operate on any
element of the command line. This includes failure to supply a "valid"
revision. This has the effect of causing 'stash apply' and 'stash show'
to operate as if stash@{0} had been supplied when an invalid revision is
supplied.

e.g. 'git stash apply stash@{1}' would fall back to
'git stash apply stash@{0}'

--default option of rev-parse.

diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header selection

Currently, the hunk headers produced by 'diff -p' are customizable by
setting the diff.*.funcname option in the config file. The 'funcname' option
takes a basic regular expression. This functionality was designed using the
GNU regex library which, by default, allows using backslashed versions of
some extended regular expression operators, even in Basic Regular Expression
mode. For example, the following characters, when backslashed, are
interpreted according to the extended regular expression rules: ?, +, and |.
As such, the builtin funcname patterns were created using some extended
regular expression operators.

Other platforms which adhere more strictly to the POSIX spec do not
interpret the backslashed extended RE operators in Basic Regular Expression
mode. This causes the pattern matching for the builtin funcname patterns to
fail on those platforms.

Introduce a new option 'xfuncname' which uses extended regular expressions,
and advertise it _instead_ of funcname. Since most users are on GNU
platforms, the majority of funcname patterns are created and tested there.
Advertising only xfuncname should help to avoid the creation of non-portable
patterns which work with GNU regex but not elsewhere.

Additionally, the extended regular expressions may be less ugly and
complicated compared to the basic RE since many common special operators do
not need to be backslashed.

For example, the GNU Basic RE:

^[ ]*\\(\\(public\\|static\\).*\\)$

becomes the following Extended RE:

^[ ]*((public|static).*)$

diff.c: return pattern entry pointer rather than just the hunk header pattern

This is in preparation for associating a flag with each pattern which will
control how the pattern is interpreted. For example, as a basic or extended
regular expression.
