send-email: use Perl idioms in while loop

Change `while(<$fh>) { my $c = $_' to `while(my $c = <$fh>) {', and
use `chomp $c' instead of `$c =~ s/\n$//g;', the two are equivalent in
this case.

I've also changed the --cccmd test so that we test for the stripping
of whitespace at the beginning of the lines returned from the
--cccmd. I think we probably shouldn't do this, but it was there
already so I haven't changed the behavior.

send-email: make_message_id use "require" instead of "use"

Change the use of Sys::Hostname from a "use" to a "require". The
former happens in an implicit BEGIN block and is thus immune from the
if block it's contained in, so it's always loaded.

This should speed up the invocation of git-send-email by a few
milliseconds.

send-email: Use To: headers in patch filesStephen Boyd Wed, 29 Sep 2010 07:26:44 +0000 (00:26 -0700)

send-email: Use To: headers in patch files

It's a minor annoyance when you take the painstaking time to setup To:
headers for each patch in a large series, and then go out to send the
series with git-send-email and watch git ignore the To: headers in the
patch files.

Therefore, always add To: headers from a patch file to the To: headers
for that message. Keep the prompt for the blanket To: header so as to
not break scripts (and user expectations). This means even if a patch
has a To: header, git will prompt for the To: address. Otherwise, we'll
need to introduce interface breakage to either request the header for
each patch missing a To: header or default the header to whatever To:
address is found first (be it in a patch or from user input). Both of
these options don't seem very obvious/useful.

repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no... Jan Krüger Mon, 27 Sep 2010 12:19:36 +0000 (14:19 +0200)

repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/object

In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'),
git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the
zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much
time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if
the user changed the zlib compression level).

However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories,
so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are
going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be
interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this
reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F
option that replaces the current -f.

Measurements taken using this patch on a current clone of git.git
indicate a 17% decrease in time being made available to users:

git repack -Adf 34.84s user 0.56s system 145% cpu 24.388 total
git repack -AdF 38.79s user 0.56s system 133% cpu 29.394 total

perl: use "use warnings" instead of -wÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Fri, 24 Sep 2010 20:00:53 +0000 (20:00 +0000)

perl: use "use warnings" instead of -w

Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.

The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.

As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:

PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/env perl'

Which would previously result in failures, since "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w"
doesn't work as a shebang.

perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5... Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Fri, 24 Sep 2010 20:00:52 +0000 (20:00 +0000)

perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]

Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.

However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:

sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;
}

Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):

t2016-checkout-patch.sh
t3904-stash-patch.sh
t3701-add-interactive.sh
t7105-reset-patch.sh
t7501-commit.sh
t9700-perl-git.sh

Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.

The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.

All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

t6050 (replace): fix bogus "fetch branch with replacement" test

The test was missing some "&&" at the end of some lines and it
was wrong because, as the replacement refs were not fetched,
the commits from the parallel branch should not show up. This
was found by Elijah Newren.

This is fixed by checking that after the branch from HASH6 is
fetched, the commits from the parallel branch don't show up,
and then by fetching the replacement refs and checking that
they do show up afterwards.

The command 's/'\''/'\''\'\'\''/g' only triples single quotes:

$ echo "What's up?" | sed 's/'\''/'\''\'\'\''/g'
What'''s up?

This doesn't hurt as compared to a single single quote it only adds an
empty string, but it makes the script needlessly complicated and hard to
understand. The useful quoting is done by s/'\''/'\''\\'\'\''/g at the
beginning of the script and only once for all three variables.

using a bare name ('N') as a variable reference in the expression.

builtin/revert.c: don't dereference a NULL pointer

cherry-pick will segfault when transplanting a root commit if the --ff
option is used. This happens because the "parent" pointer is set to NULL
when the commit being cherry-picked has no parents. Later, when "parent"
is dereferenced, the cherry-pick segfaults.

Fix this by checking whether "parent" is NULL before dereferencing it and
add a test for this case of cherry-picking a root commit with --ff.

branch whose name begins with a hyphen e.g. "-foo" to be created, but the
parseopt infrastructure in general does not like to parse anything that
begins with a dash as a short-hand refname. "git checkout -foo" won't
work, nor will "git branch -d -foo" (even though "git branch -d -- -foo"
works, it does so by mistake; we should not be taking anything but
pathspecs after double-dash).

All the codepaths that create a new branch ref, including the destination
of "branch -m src dst", use strbuf_check_branch_ref() to validate if the
given name is suitable as a branch name. Tighten it to disallow a branch
that begins with a hyphen.

You can still get rid of historical mistakes with

$ git update-ref -d refs/heads/-foo

and third-party Porcelains are free to keep using update-ref to create
refs with a path component that begins with "-".

mergetool-lib: add a three-way diff view for vim/gvim

When the base version is available, use a three-way, four panel view by
default. This shows the (local, base, remote) revisions up top and the
merged result by itself in the lower pane. All revisions will still scroll
together by default, and the cursor still defaults to the merged result edit
pane.

mergetool-lib: combine vimdiff and gvimdiff run blocksDan McGee Wed, 15 Sep 2010 02:21:42 +0000 (21:21 -0500)

mergetool-lib: combine vimdiff and gvimdiff run blocks

They are nearly identical outside of the foreground flag, which can safely
be passed to both vim and gvim. The merge tool itself is named in
$merge_tool_path.
