Might as well ape the sigaction change in read-tree.c to avoid

be overwritten in a second, so don't bother guarding it. Do
move the fputc after disabling SIGALRM to ensure we go to the

Also add a NO_SA_RESTART option in the Makefile in case someone
doesn't have SA_RESTART but does restart (maybe older HP/UX?).
We want the builder to chose this specifically in case the
system both lacks SA_RESTART and does not restart stdio calls;
a compat #define in git-compat-utils.h would silently allow
broken systems.

I'm afraid I'll be accused of trying to suck all the jokes and the
personality out of the git documentation. I'm not! Really!
That said, "man git" is one of the first things a new user is likely try,
and it seems a little cruel to start off with a somewhat obscure joke
about the architecture of git.
So instead I'm trying for a relatively straightforward description of what
git does, and what features distinguish it from other systems, together
with immediate links to introductory documentation.
I also did some minor reorganization in an attempt to clarify the
classification of commands. And revised a bit for conciseness (as is
obvious from the diffstat--hopefully I didn't cut anything important).

revision: Fix --topo-order and --max-age with reachability limiting.
What ends up not working very well at all is the combination of
"--topo-order" and the output filter in get_revision. It will
return NULL when we see the first commit out of date-order, even
if we have other commits coming.
So we really should do the "past the date order" thing in
get_revision() only if we have _not_ done it already in
limit_list().
Something like this.
The easiest way to test this is with just
gitk --since=3.days.ago
on the kernel tree. Without this patch, it tends to be pretty obviously
broken.

This makes git-rev-list able to do path-limiting without having to parse
all of history before it starts showing the results.
This makes things like "git log -- pathname" much more pleasant to use.
This is actually a pretty small patch, and the biggest part of it is
purely cleanups (turning the "goto next" statements into "continue"), but
it's conceptually a lot bigger than it looks.
What it does is that if you do a path-limited revision list, and you do
_not_ ask for pseudo-parenthood information, it won't do all the
path-limiting up-front, but instead do it incrementally in
"get_revision()".
This is an absolutely huge deal for anything like "git log -- <pathname>",
but also for some things that we don't do yet - like the "find where
things changed" logic I've described elsewhere, where we want to find the
previous revision that changed a file.
The reason I put "RFC" in the subject line is that while I've validated it
various ways, like doing
git-rev-list HEAD -- drivers/char/ | md5sum
before-and-after on the kernel archive, it's "git-rev-list" after all. In
other words, it's that really really subtle and complex central piece of
software. So while I think this is important and should go in asap, I also
think it should get lots of testing and eyeballs looking at the code.
Btw, don't even bother testing this with the git archive. git itself is so
small that parsing the whole revision history for it takes about a second
even with path limiting. The thing that _really_ shows this off is doing
git log drivers/
on the kernel archive, or even better, on the _historic_ kernel archive.
With this change, the response is instantaneous (although seeking to the
end of the result will obviously take as long as it ever did). Before this
change, the command would think about the result for tens of seconds - or
even minutes, in the case of the bigger old kernel archive - before
starting to output the results.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! Using path limiting with things like "gitk", which uses
the "--parents" flag to actually generate a pseudo-history of the
resulting commits won't actually see the improvement in interactivity,
since that forces git-rev-list to do the whole-history thing after all.
MAYBE we can fix that too at some point, but I won't promise anything.

Indeed, we can see that gitk shows these two commits at the
bottom, because the --boundary code failed to output them.
The code did not check to avoid pushing the same uninteresting

the reported problem, but this seems to fix it.

gitk: Prevent parent link from overwriting commit headline
When I made drawlineseg responsible for drawing the link to the first
child rather than drawparentlinks, that meant that the right-most X
value computed by drawparentlinks didn't include those first-child
links, and thus the first-child link could go over the top of the
commit headline. This fixes it.
With this we run git-diff-tree on a commit even if we think it has
no parents, either because it really has no parents or because it
is a boundary commit. This means that gitk shows the diff for a
boundary commit when it is selected.
Introduce tree-walk.[ch] and move "struct tree_desc" and
associated functions from various places.
Rename DIFF_FILE_CANON_MODE(mode) macro to canon_mode(mode) and
move it to cache.h. This macro returns the canonicalized
st_mode value in the host byte order for files, symlinks and
directories -- to be compared with a tree_desc entry.
create_ce_mode(mode) in cache.h is similar but is intended to be
used for index entries (so it does not work for directories) and
returns the value in the network byte order.
When the executable bit is untrustworthy and when we are
comparing the tree with the working tree, we tried to reuse the
mode bits recorded in the index incorrectly (the computation was
bogus on little endian architectures). Just use mode from index
when it is a regular file.
With this, we can show the boundary (open-circle) commits immediately
after their last child, which looks much better than putting all the
boundary commits at the bottom of the graph.
revision arguments: ..B means HEAD..B, just like A.. means A..HEAD
For consistency reasons, we should probably allow that to be written as
just "..branch", the same way we can write "branch.." to mean "everything
in HEAD but not in "branch".
With the new --boundary flag, the output from rev-list includes
the UNINTERESING commits at the boundary, which are usually not
shown. Their object names are prefixed with '-'.
For example, with this graph:
C side
/
A---B---D master
You would get something like this:
$ git rev-list --boundary --header --parents side..master
D B
tree D^{tree}
parent B
... log message for commit D here ...
\0-B A
tree B^{tree}
parent A
... log message for commit B here ...
\0
We do not need to track object refs, neither we need to save commit
unless we are doing verbose header. A lot of traversal happens
inside prepare_revision_walk() these days so setting things up before
calling that function is necessary.

The speed of the built-in diff generator is nice; but the function names
shown by `diff -p' are /really/ nice. And I hate having to choose. So,
we hack xdiff to find the function names and print them.
xdiff has grown a flag to say whether to dig up the function names. The
builtin_diff function passes this flag unconditionally. I suppose it
could parse GIT_DIFF_OPTS, but it doesn't at the moment. I've also
reintroduced the `function name' into the test suite, from which it was
removed in commit 3ce8f089.
The function names are parsed by a particularly stupid algorithm at the
moment: it just tries to find a line in the `old' file, from before the
start of the hunk, whose first character looks plausible. Still, it's
most definitely a start.

All of the things that were not in the "master" branch were
either cooked long enough in "next" without causing problems
(e.g. insanely fast rename detector or true built-in diff) or
isolated in a specific subsystem (e.g. tar-tree and svnimport).
So I am clearing the deck to prepare for a 1.3.0. Remaining
wrinkles, if any, will be ironed in the "master" branch.
* master:
Optionally do not list empty directories in git-ls-files --others
Document git-rebase behavior on conflicts.
Fix error handling for nonexistent names
Optionally do not list empty directories in git-ls-files --others
Without the --directory flag, git-ls-files wouldn't ever list directories,
producing no output for empty directories, which is good since they cannot
be added and they bear no content, even untracked one (if Git ever starts
tracking directories on their own, this should obviously change since the
content notion will change).
With the --directory flag however, git-ls-files would list even empty
directories. This may be good in some situations but sometimes you want to
prevent that. This patch adds a --no-empty-directory option which makes
git-ls-files omit empty directories.
When passing in a pathname pattern without the "--" separator on the
command line, we verify that the pathnames in question exist. However,
there were two bugs in that verification:
- git-rev-parse would only check the first pathname, and silently allow
any invalid subsequent pathname, whether it existed or not (which
defeats the purpose of the check, and is also inconsistent with what
git-rev-list actually does)
- git-rev-list (and "git log" etc) would check each filename, but if the
check failed, it would print the error using the first one, i.e.:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git log Makefile bad-file
fatal: 'Makefile': No such file or directory
instead of saying that it's 'bad-file' that doesn't exist.
This fixes both bugs.

This uses a simplified libxdiff setup to generate unified diffs _without_
doing fork/execve of GNU "diff".
This has several huge advantages, for example:
Before:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null
real 0m24.818s
user 0m13.332s
sys 0m8.664s
After:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null
real 0m4.563s
user 0m2.944s
sys 0m1.580s
and the fact that this should be a lot more portable (ie we can ignore all
the issues with doing fork/execve under Windows).
Perhaps even more importantly, this allows us to do diffs without actually
ever writing out the git file contents to a temporary file (and without
any of the shell quoting issues on filenames etc etc).
NOTE! THIS PATCH DOES NOT DO THAT OPTIMIZATION YET! I was lazy, and the
current "diff-core" code actually will always write the temp-files,
because it used to be something that you simply had to do. So this current
one actually writes a temp-file like before, and then reads it into memory
again just to do the diff. Stupid.
But if this basic infrastructure is accepted, we can start switching over
diff-core to not write temp-files, which should speed things up even
further, especially when doing big tree-to-tree diffs.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I should also point out a few
downsides:
- the libxdiff algorithm is different, and I bet GNU diff has gotten a
lot more testing. And the thing is, generating a diff is not an exact
science - you can get two different diffs (and you will), and they can
both be perfectly valid. So it's not possible to "validate" the
libxdiff output by just comparing it against GNU diff.
- GNU diff does some nice eye-candy, like trying to figure out what the
last function was, and adding that information to the "@@ .." line.
libxdiff doesn't do that.
- The libxdiff thing has some known deficiencies. In particular, it gets
the "\No newline at end of file" case wrong. So this is currently for
the experimental branch only. I hope Davide will help fix it.
That said, I think the huge performance advantage, and the fact that it
integrates better is definitely worth it. But it should go into a
development branch at least due to the missing newline issue.
Technical note: this is based on libxdiff-0.17, but I did some surgery to
get rid of the extraneous fat - stuff that git doesn't need, and seriously
cutting down on mmfile_t, which had much more capabilities than the diff
algorithm either needed or used. In this version, "mmfile_t" is just a
trivial <pointer,length> tuple.
That said, I tried to keep the differences to simple removals, so that you
can do a diff between this and the libxdiff origin, and you'll basically
see just things getting deleted. Even the mmfile_t simplifications are
left in a state where the diffs should be readable.
Apologies to Davide, whom I'd love to get feedback on this all from (I
wrote my own "fill_mmfile()" for the new simpler mmfile_t format: the old
complex format had a helper function for that, but I did my surgery with
the goal in mind that eventually we _should_ just do
which was really a nightmare with the old "helpful" mmfile_t, and really
is that easy with the new cut-down interfaces).
[ Btw, as any hawk-eye can see from the diff, this was actually generated
with itself, so it is "self-hosting". That's about all the testing it
has gotten, along with the above kernel diff, which eye-balls correctly,
but shows the newline issue when you double-check it with "git-apply" ]

Also adds a file to the test repo with a 100 chars long directory name.
Even old versions of tar that don't understand POSIX extended headers

Improvements compared to the old write_header():
- Uses a struct ustar_header instead of hardcoded offsets.
- Takes one struct strbuf as path argument instead of a (basedir,
prefix, name) tuple.
- Not only writes the tar header, but also the contents of the
file, if any.
- Does not write directly into the ring buffer. This allows the
code to be layed out more naturally, because there is no more
ordering constraint. Before we had to first finish writing the
extended header, now we can construct the extended and normal
headers in parallel.
- The typeflag parameter has been replaced by (reasonable) magic
values. path == NULL indicates an extended header, additionally
sha1 == NULL means it is a global extended header.

This was triggered by me testing the "@@" numbering shorthand by GNU
patch, which not only showed that git-apply thought it meant the number
was duplicated (when it means that the second number is 1), but my tests
showed than when git-apply mis-understood the number, it would then not
raise an alarm about it if the patch ended early.
Now, this doesn't actually _matter_, since with a three-line context, the
only case that "x,1" will be shorthanded to "x" is when x itself is 1 (in
which case git-apply got it right), but the fact that git-apply would also
silently accept truncated patches was a missed opportunity for additional
sanity-checking.
