git-rebase--interactive.sh: preserve-merges fails on merges created with no-ff
'git rebase' uses 'git merge' to preserve merges (-p). This preserves
the original merge commit correctly, except when the original merge
commit was created by 'git merge --no-ff'. In this case, 'git rebase'
will fail to preserve the merge, because during 'git rebase', 'git
merge' will simply fast-forward and skip the commit. For example:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q
If we try to rebase M onto P, we lose the merge commit and this happens:
A---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
To correct this, we simply do a "no fast-forward" on all merge commits
when rebasing. Since by the time we decided to do a 'git merge' inside
'git rebase', it means there was a merge originally, so 'git merge'
should always create a merge commit regardless of what the merge
branches look like. This way, when rebase M onto P from the above
example, we get:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q

In v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 (bash: get --pretty=m<tab> completion to work
with bash v4, 2010-12-02) we started to use _get_comp_words_by_ref()
to access completion-related variables. That was large change, and to
make it easily reviewable, we invoked _get_comp_words_by_ref() in each
completion function and systematically replaced every occurance of
bash's completion-related variables ($COMP_WORDS and $COMP_CWORD) with
variables set by _get_comp_words_by_ref().
This has the downside that _get_comp_words_by_ref() is invoked several
times during a single completion. The worst offender is perhaps 'git
log mas<TAB>': during the completion of 'master'
_get_comp_words_by_ref() is invoked no less than six times.
However, the variables $prev, $cword, and $words provided by
_get_comp_words_by_ref() are not modified in any of the completion
functions, and the previous commit ensures that the $cur variable is
not modified as well. This makes it possible to invoke
_get_comp_words_by_ref() to get those variables only once in our
toplevel completion functions _git() and _gitk(), and all other
completion functions will inherit them.

completion: don't modify the $cur variable in completion functions
Since v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 (bash: get --pretty=m<tab> completion to work
with bash v4, 2010-12-02) we use _get_comp_words_by_ref() to access
completion-related variables, and the $cur variable holds the word
containing the current cursor position in all completion functions.
This $cur variable is left unchanged in most completion functions;
there are only four functions modifying its value, namely __gitcomp(),
__git_complete_revlist_file(), __git_complete_remote_or_refspec(), and
_git_config().
If this variable were never modified, then it would allow us a nice
optimisation and cleanup. Therefore, this patch assigns $cur to an
other local variable and uses that for later modifications in those
four functions.

Commit a8f3e2219 introduced the strbuf_grow() call to strbuf_setlen() to
make ensure that there was at least one byte available to write the
mandatory trailing NUL, even for previously unallocated strbufs.
Then b315c5c0 added strbuf_slopbuf for the same reason, only globally for
all uses of strbufs.
Thus the strbuf_grow() call can be removed now. This avoids readers of
strbuf.h from mistakenly thinking that strbuf_setlen() can be used to
extend a strbuf.
The following assert() needs to be changed to cope with the fact that
sb->alloc can now be zero, which is OK as long as len is also zero. As
suggested by Junio, use the chance to convert it to a die() with a short
explanatory message. The pattern of 'die("BUG: ...")' is already used in
strbuf.c.
This was the only assert() in strbuf.[ch], so assert.h doesn't have to be
included anymore either.

If somebody has a name that includes an rfc822 special, we
will output it literally in the "From:" header. This is
usually OK, but certain characters (like ".") are supposed
to be enclosed in double-quotes in a mail header.
In practice, whether this matters may depend on your MUA.
Some MUAs will happily take in:
From: Foo B. Bar <author@example.com>
without quotes, and properly quote the "." when they send
the actual mail. Others may not, or may screw up harder
things like:
From: Foo "The Baz" Bar <author@example.com>
For example, mutt will strip the quotes, thinking they are
actual syntactic rfc822 quotes.
So let's quote properly, and then (if necessary) we still
apply rfc2047 encoding on top of that, which should make all
MUAs happy.

For projects that do not release official archives, gitweb's snapshot
feature would be an excellent alternative, and but without the '-n'
('--no-name') argument, gzip includes a timestamp in output which results
in different files. Because some systems hash/checksum downloaded files
to ensure integrity of the tarball (e.g FreeBSD), it is desirable to
produce tarballs in a reproducible way for that purpose.
Whilst '--no-name' is more descriptive, the long version of the flag is
not supported on all systems. In particular, OpenBSD does not appear to
support it.
Supply '-n' to gzip to exclude timestamp from output and produce idential
output every time.

Earlier, e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS
for unmerged entries., 2007-01-05) taught the command to show the object
name and the mode from the entry coming from the tree side when comparing

This is a belated companion patch that teaches diff-files to show the mode
from the entry coming from the working tree side, when comparing an
unmerged index and the working tree.
diff: remove often unused parameters from diff_unmerge()
e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for
unmerged entries., 2007-01-05) added a <mode, object name> pair as
parameters to this function, to store them in the pre-image side of an
unmerged file pair. Now the function is fixed to return the filepair it
queued, we can make the caller on the special case codepath to do so.
The underlying diff_queue() returns diff_filepair so that the caller can
further add information to it, and the helper function diff_unmerge()
utilizes the feature itself, but does not expose it to its callers, which
was kind of selfish.
The symbols in attr.c only require file scope, so we add the static
modifier to their declaration.
The symbols in vcs-svn/svndump.c are external symbols, and they
already have extern declarations in the "svndump.h" header file,
so we simply include the header in svndump.c.

which is caused by not passing the target-specific additions to
the EXTRA_CPPFLAGS variable to cgcc.
In order to fix the problem, we define a new sparse target which
depends on a set of non-existent "sparse object" files (*.sp)
which correspond to the set of C source files. In addition to the
new target, we also provide a new pattern rule for "creating" the
sparse object files from the source files by running cgcc. This
allows us to add '*.sp' to the rules setting the target-specific
EXTRA_CPPFLAGS variable, which is then included in the new pattern
rule to run cgcc.
Also, we change the 'check' target to re-direct the user to the
new sparse target.

date: avoid "X years, 12 months" in relative dates
When relative dates are more than about a year ago, we start
writing them as "Y years, M months". At the point where we
calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a
number of days. We calculate these integers as:
Y = days / 365
M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30
This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the
nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1
year, 1 month").
We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end
up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just
be "2 years".
run-command: handle short writes and EINTR in die_child
If start_command fails after forking and before exec finishes, there
is not much use in noticing an I/O error on top of that.
finish_command will notice that the child exited with nonzero status
anyway. So as noted in v1.7.0.3~20^2 (run-command.c: fix build
warnings on Ubuntu, 2010-01-30) and v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 (2011-03-16), it
is safe to ignore errors from write in this codepath.
Even so, the result from write contains useful information: it tells
us if the write was cancelled by a signal (EINTR) or was only
partially completed (e.g., when writing to an almost-full pipe).
Let's use write_in_full to loop until the desired number of bytes have
been written (still ignoring errors if that fails).
As a happy side effect, the assignment to a dummy variable to appease
gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE is no longer needed. xwrite and write_in_full
check the return value from write(2).
Noticed with gcc -Wunused-but-set-variable.

2. The snipsnip form in which a message starts with pertinent

The example requires QP encoding in the "Subject:" header intended for

format-patch: wrap email addresses after long names
We already wrap names in "from" headers, which tend to be
the long part of an address. But it's also possible for a
long name to not be wrapped, but to make us want to wrap the
email address. For example (imagine for the sake of
readability we want to wrap at 50 characters instead of 78):
From: this is my really long git name <foo@example.com>
The name does not overflow the line, but the name and email
together do. So we would rather see:
From: this is my really long git name
<git@example.com>
Because we wrap the name separately during add_rfc2047, we
neglected this case. Instead, we should see how long the
final line of the wrapped name ended up, and decide whether
or not to wrap based on that. We can't break the address
into multiple parts, so we either leave it with the name, or
put it by itself on a line.
