Commit 48059e4 (pull: use merge-base --fork-point when appropriate,
2013-12-08) incorrectly assumes that get_remote_merge_branch will either
yield a non-empty string or return an error, but there are circumstances
where it will yield an empty string.
The previous code then invoked git-rev-list with no arguments, which
results in an error suppressed by redirecting stderr to /dev/null. Now
we invoke git-merge-base with an empty branch name, which also results
in an error. Suppress this in the same way.

Subversion serf backend in versions 1.8.5 and below has a bug(*) that the
function creating the descriptor of a file change -- add_file() --
doesn't make a copy of its third argument when storing it on the
returned descriptor. As a result, by the time this field is used (in
transactions of file copying or renaming) it may well be released, and
the memory reused.
One of its possible manifestations is the svn assertion triggering on an
invalid path, with a message
This patch works around this bug, by storing the value to be passed as
the third argument to add_file() in a local variable with the same scope
as the file change descriptor, making sure their lifetime is the same.

diff test: reading a directory as a file need not error out
There is no guarantee that strbuf_read_file must error out for
directories. On some operating systems (e.g., Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
wheezy), reading a directory gives its raw content:
$ head -c5 < / | cat -A
^AM-|^_^@^L$
As a result, 'git diff -O/' succeeds instead of erroring out on
these systems, causing t4056.5 "orderfile is a directory" to fail.
On some weird OS it might even make sense to pass a directory to the
-O option and this is not a common user mistake that needs catching.

sha1_name: don't resolve refs when core.warnambiguousrefs is false
When seeing a full 40-hex object name, get_sha1_basic()
unconditionally checks if the string can also be interpreted as a

Omitting this unnecessary ref resolution provides a substantial
performance improvement, especially when passing many hashes to a

set to false. The check incurs 6 stat()s for every hash supplied,

git-submodule.sh: 'checkout' is a valid update mode
'checkout' is documented as one of the valid values for the
'submodule.<name>.update' variable, and in a repository with the
variable set to 'checkout', "git submodule update" command does
update using the 'checkout' mode.
However, it has been an accident that the implementation works this
way; any unknown value would trigger the same codepath and update
using the 'checkout' mode.
Explicitly list 'checkout' as one of the known update modes, and
error out when an unknown update mode is used.
Teach the codepath that initializes the configuration variable from
an in-tree .gitmodules that 'checkout' is one of the valid values.
The code since ac1fbbda (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode
from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02) used to treat the value 'checkout' as

Having a simulated "known breakage" test means that the test

though it is only simulated.
The right way to test this is in a sub-test, that can also
check that we provide the correct exit status and output.
Fortunately, we already have such a test (added much later

We could arguably get rid of the simulated success test

Commit 517cd55 set HARNESS_ACTIVE unconditionally in
sub-tests, because that value affects the output of
"--verbose". t0000 needs stable output from its sub-tests,
and we may or may not be running under a TAP harness.
That commit made the decision to always set the variable,
since it has another useful side effect, which is
suppressing writes to t/test-results by the sub-tests (which
would just pollute the real results).
Since the last commit, though, the sub-tests have their own
test-results directories, so this is no longer an issue. We
can now update a few comments that are no longer accurate
nor necessary.
We can also revisit the choice of HARNESS_ACTIVE. Since we
must choose one value for stability, it's probably saner to
have it off. This means that future patches could test
things like the test-results writing, or the "--quiet"
option, which is currently ignored when run under a harness.

These scratch areas for sub-tests should be under the t0000 trash
directory, but because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY defaults to
TEST_DIRECTORY, which is exported to help sub-tests find
test-lib.sh, the sub-test trash directories are created under the
toplevel t/ directory instead. Because some of the sub-tests
simulate failures, their trash directories are kept around.
Fix it by explicitly setting TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY appropriately for
sub-tests.
An alternative fix would be to pass the --root parameter that only
specifies where to put the trash directories, which would also work.
However, using TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is more futureproof in case
tests want to write more output in addition to the test-results/
(which are already suppressed in sub-tests using the HARNESS_ACTIVE
setting) and trash directories.
This fixes a regression introduced by 38b074d (t/test-lib.sh: fix
TRASH_DIRECTORY handling, 2013-04-14). Before that commit, the
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting was not respected consistently so most
tests did their work in a "trash" subdirectory of the current
directory instead of the output dir.

use distinct username/password for http auth tests
The httpd server we set up to test git's http client code
knows about a single account, in which both the username and
password are "user@host" (the unusual use of the "@" here is
to verify that we handle the character correctly when URL
escaped).
This means that we may miss a certain class of errors in
which the username and password are mixed up internally by
git. We can make our tests more robust by having distinct
values for the username and password.
In addition to tweaking the server passwd file and the
client URL, we must teach the "askpass" harness to accept
multiple values. As a bonus, this makes the setup of some
tests more obvious; when we are expecting git to ask
only about the password, we can seed the username askpass
response with a bogus value.

That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our

By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that

We might want to vet the existing callers of the underlying

It piggybacks on an unrelated handle_octopus() function only because
there are some similarities between the way they need to preprocess
their input and output their result. There is nothing similar in
the true logic between these two operations.
Support for grafts predates Git's strbuf, and hence it is understandable
that there was a hard-coded line length limit of 1023 characters (which
was chosen a bit awkwardly, given that it is *exactly* one byte short of
aligning with the 41 bytes occupied by a commit name and the following
space or new-line character).
While regular commit histories hardly win comprehensibility in general
if they merge more than twenty-two branches in one go, it is not Git's
business to limit grafts in such a way.
In this particular developer's case, the use case that requires
substantially longer graft lines to be supported is the visualization of
the commits' order implied by their changes: commits are considered to
have an implicit relationship iff exchanging them in an interactive
rebase would result in merge conflicts.
Thusly implied branches tend to be very shallow in general, and the
resulting thicket of implied branches is usually very wide; It is
actually quite common that *most* of the commits in a topic branch have
not even one implied parent, so that a final merge commit has about as
many implied parents as there are commits in said branch.
