Reduce cost of deletion in levenstein distance (4 -> 3)
Before this patch, a character deletion has the same cost as 2 swaps, or
4 additions, so Git prefers suggesting a completely scrambled command
name to removing a character. For example, "git tags" suggests "stage",
but not "tag".
By setting the deletion cost to 3, we keep it higher than swaps or
additions, but prefer 1 deletion to 2 swaps. "git tags" now suggests
"tag" in addition to staged.

Let's start with Git::SVN::Prompt. For simplicity, we install this as

fmt-merge-message: add empty line between tag and signature verification
When adding the information from a tag, put an empty line between the
message of the tag and the commented-out signature verification
information.
At least for the kernel workflow, I often end up re-formatting the message
that people send me in the tag data. In that situation, putting the tag
message and the tag signature verification back-to-back then means that
normal editor "reflow parapgraph" command will get confused and think that
the signature is a continuation of the last message paragraph.
So I always end up having to first add an empty line, and then go back and
reflow the last paragraph. Let's just do it in git directly.
The extra vertical space also makes the verification visually stand out
more from the user-supplied message, so it looks a bit more readable to me
too, but that may be just an odd personal preference.

format-patch: use GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL in message ids
Before commit 43ae9f4, we generated the tail of a message id
by calling git_committer_info and parsing the email out of
the result. 43ae9f4 changed to use ident_default_email
directly, so we didn't have to bother with parsing. As a
side effect, it meant we no longer used GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
at all.
In general, this is probably reasonable behavior. Either the
default email is sane on your system, or you are using
user.email to provide something sane. The exception is if
you rely on GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL being set all the time to
override the bogus generated email.
This is unlikely to match anybody's real-life setup, but we
do use it in the test environment. And furthermore, it's
what we have always done, and the change in 43ae9f4 was
about cleaning up, not fixing any bug; we should be
conservative and keep the behavior identical.

Most callers want to see all of "$name <$email> $date", but
a few want only limited parts, omitting the date, or even
the name. We already have IDENT_NO_DATE to handle the date
part, but there's not a good option for getting just the
email. Callers have to done one of:
1. Call ident_default_email; this does not respect
environment variables, nor does it promise to trim
whitespace or other crud from the result.
2. Call git_{committer,author}_info; this returns the name
and email, leaving the caller to parse out the wanted
bits.
This patch adds IDENT_NO_NAME; it stops short of adding
IDENT_NO_EMAIL, as no callers want it (nor are likely to),
and it complicates the error handling of the function.

Avoid sorting if references are added to ref_cache in order
The old code allowed many references to be efficiently added to a
single directory, because it just appended the references to the
containing directory unsorted without doing any searching (and
therefore without requiring any intermediate sorting). But the old
code was inefficient when a large number of subdirectories were added
to a directory, because the directory always had to be searched to see
if the new subdirectory already existed, and this search required the
directory to be sorted first. The same was repeated for every new
subdirectory, so the time scaled like O(N^2), where N is the number of
subdirectories within a single directory.
In practice, references are often added to the ref_cache in
lexicographic order, for example when reading the packed-refs file.
So build some intelligence into add_entry_to_dir() to optimize for the
case of references and/or subdirectories being added in lexicographic
order: if the existing entries were already sorted, and the new entry
comes after the last existing entry, then adjust ref_dir::sorted to
reflect the fact that the ref_dir is still sorted.

inspired this change.

The search_ref_dir() function is about looking up an existing ref_entry in
a sorted array of ref_entry stored in dir->entries, but it still allocates
a new ref_entry and frees it before returning. This is only because the
call to bsearch(3) was coded in a suboptimal way. Unlike the comparison
function given to qsort(3), the first parameter to its comparison function
does not need to point at an object that is shaped like an element in the
array.
Introduce a new comparison function that takes a counted string as the key
and an element in an array of ref_entry and give it to bsearch(), so that
we do not have to allocate a new ref_entry that we will never return to
the caller anyway.

avoid segfault when reading header of malformed commits
If a commit object has a header line at the end of the

because the content on the header line contains a stray
NUL), then git will segfault.
Interestingly, this case is explicitly handled and we do
correctly scan the final line for the header we are looking

trying to look at the next line.
Git will never generate such a commit, but it's good to be
defensive. We could die() in such a case, but since it's
easy enough to handle it gracefully, let's just issue a
warning and continue (so you could still view such a commit
with "git show", though you might be missing headers after

pretty: avoid buffer overflow in format_person_part
When we parse the name and email from a commit to
pretty-print them, we usually can just put the result
directly into our strbuf result. However, if we are going to
use the mailmap, then we must first copy them into a
NUL-terminated buffer to feed to the mailmap machinery.
We did so by using strlcpy into a static buffer, but we used
it wrong. We fed it the length of the substring we wanted to
copy, but never checked that that length was less than the
size of the destination buffer.
The simplest fix is to just use snprintf to copy the
substring properly while still respecting the destination
buffer's size. It might seem like replacing the static
buffer with a strbuf would help, but we need to feed a
static buffer to the mailmap machinery anyway, so there's
not much benefit to handling arbitrary sizes.
A more ideal solution would be for mailmap to grow an
interface that:
1. Takes a pointer and length combination, instead of
assuming a NUL-terminated string.
2. Returns a pointer to the mailmap's allocated string,
rather than copying it into the buffer.
Then we could avoid the need for an extra buffer entirely.
However, doing this would involve a lot of refactoring of
mailmap and of string_list (which mailmap uses to store the
map itself). For now, let's do the simplest thing to fix the
bug.

ident: use full dns names to generate email addresses

2. if it has a dot, ok, it's fully qualified
3. if not, then look up the unqualified hostname via
gethostbyname; take the domain name of the result and
append it to the hostname
Step 3 can actually produce a bogus result, as the name
returned by gethostbyname may not be related to the hostname
we fed it (e.g., consider a machine "foo" with names
"foo.one.example.com" and "bar.two.example.com"; we may have
the latter returned and generate the bogus name
"foo.two.example.com").
This patch simply uses the full hostname returned by
gethostbyname. In the common case that the first part is the
same as the unqualified hostname, the behavior is identical.

ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly message
When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message.
While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity
functions are being called, this code is triggered behind
the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g.,
receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog;
the current message is hard to distinguish from an
authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives
a little more context.
While we're at it, we can factor out all of the
cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a
wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make
it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for
the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway,
and it lets us make an even more specific error message.
The current message also fails to mention errno. While the
usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not
exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these
problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain
untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be
set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return
ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases
in our wrapper.

drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emails
When we pull the user's name from the GECOS field of the
passwd file (or generate an email address based on their
username and hostname), we put the result into a
static buffer. While it's extremely unlikely that anybody
ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their
parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the
error cases in our code.
Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify
the code and drop some error messages from the documentation
that have confused some users.
The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies
with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly.
There are a few exceptions:
- copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code
reduction (since they no longer have to manage the
string length manually)
- git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of
the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple
times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of
just adding
Note that there is still one length limitation: the
gethostname interface requires us to provide a static
buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the
hostname.

ident: don't write fallback username into git_default_name
The fmt_ident function gets a flag that tells us whether to
die if the name field is blank. If it is blank and we don't
die, then we fall back to the username from the passwd file.
The current code writes the value into git_default_name.
However, that's not necessarily correct, as the empty value
might have come from git_default_name, or it might have been
passed in. This leads to two potential problems:
1. If we are overriding an empty name in the passed-in
value, then we may be overwriting a perfectly good name
(from gitconfig or gecos) in the git_default_name
buffer. Later calls to fmt_ident will end up using the
fallback name, even though a better name was available.
2. If we override an empty gecos name, we end up with the
fallback name in git_default_name. A later call that
uses IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME will see the fallback name
and think that it is a good name, instead of producing
an error. In other words, a blank gecos name would
cause an error with this code:
because in the latter case, the first call has polluted
the name buffer.
Instead, let's make the fallback a per-invocation variable.
We can just use the pw->pw_name string directly, since it
only needs to persist through the rest of the function (and
we don't do any other getpwent calls).
Note that while this solves (1) for future invocations of
fmt_indent, the current invocation might use the fallback
when it could in theory load a better value from
git_default_name. However, by not passing
IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME, the caller is indicating that it
does not care too much about the name, anyway, so we don't
bother; this is primarily about protecting future callers
who do care.

threading by appending some changing bits to the front of
the user's email address. The current code parses the email
out of the results of git_committer_info, but we can do this
much more easily by just calling ident_default_email
ourselves.

We use fgets to read the /etc/mailname file, which means we
will typically end up with an extra newline in our
git_default_email. Most of the time this doesn't matter, as
fmt_ident will skip it as cruft, but there is one code path
that accesses it directly (in http-push.c:lock_remote).

There's no reason anybody outside of ident.c should access
these directly (they should use the new accessors which make
sure the variables are initialized), so we can make them
file-scope statics.
While we're at it, move user_ident_explicitly_given into
ident.c; while still globally visible, it makes more sense
to reside with the ident code.

There's no reason for this to be in config, except that once
upon a time all of the config parsing was there. It makes
more sense to keep the ident code together.

fmt-merge-msg: don't use static buffer in record_person
The record_person function just parses out the "name" field
of the person line in a commit and adds it to a string_list.
The only reason we need an extra buffer is that the
string_list functions require a NUL-terminated string.
Instead of the static buffer, we can just allocate a
temporary NUL-terminated copy. In addition to removing a
useless limit, this removes the only user of MAX_GITNAME
outside of ident.c.

This function sets up the default name, email, and date, and
is not publicly available. Let's split it into three public
functions so that callers can get just the parts they need.
While we're at it, let's change the interface to simple
accessors. The original function was called only by fmt_ident,
and contained logic for "if we already have some other
value, don't load the default" which properly belongs in
fmt_ident.

When reading patterns from a file, we pass the lines as allocated string
buffers to append_grep_pat() and never free them. That's not a problem
because they are needed until the program ends anyway.
However, now that the function duplicates the pattern string, we can
reuse the strbuf after calling that function. This simplifies the code
a bit and plugs a minor memory leak.

t3404: begin "exchange commits with -p" test with correct preconditions
Currently, patterns that contain newline characters don't match anything
when given to git grep. Regular grep(1) interprets patterns as lists of
newline separated search strings instead.
Implement this functionality by creating and inserting extra grep_pat
structures for patterns consisting of multiple lines when appending to
the pattern lists. For simplicity, all pattern strings are duplicated.
The original pattern is truncated in place to make it contain only the
first line.

Consistently use "superproject" instead of "supermodule"
We fairly consistently say "superproject" and never "supermodule" these
days. But there are seven occurrences of "supermodule" left in the current
work tree. Three appear in Release Notes for 1.5.3 and 1.7.7, three in
test names and one in a C-code comment.
Replace all occurrences of "supermodule" outside of the Release Notes
(which shouldn't be changed after the fact) with "superproject" for
consistency.

t3404: begin "exchange commits with -p" test with correct preconditions
The test case shows a bug in 'rebase -p', but even if the bug were fixed
the test would fail because it did not ensure that the preconditions match
the postconditions that were checked. Insert the suitable 'git checkout'.

completion: add support for backwards compatibility
Some people might be relying on _git and _gitk to define custom aliases,
unfortunately, commit 6b179ad (completion: add new __git_complete
helper) broke that support.
"bash: [: 1: unary operator expected"
This can be easily fixed by using __git_complete, but it's not meant to
be public.
Although _git and _gitk are probably not meant to be public, it's easy
to keep having support for them by having a wrapper to the proper
new function that is fully functional.

t/Makefile: retain cache t/.prove across prove runs
prove(1) can write a summary of its test results and timings into a
cache file, t/.prove, then use this information during later runs for
various purposes. But deleting t/.prove after every test run defeats
this purpose. So do not delete t/.prove as part of "make
DEFAILT_TEST_TARGET=prove test". (Continue to delete the file on
"make clean".)
