Since 4c7f181 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), the

add: modify already added files when --chmod is given
When the chmod option was added to git add, it was hooked up to the diff
machinery, meaning that it only works when the version in the index
differs from the version on disk.
As the option was supposed to mirror the chmod option in update-index,
which always changes the mode in the index, regardless of the status of
the file, make sure the option behaves the same way in git add.

format-patch: show base info before email signature
Any text below the "-- " for the email signature gets treated as part of
the signature, and many mail clients will trim it from the quoted text
for a reply. Move it above the signature, so people can reply to it
more easily.
Similarly, when producing the patch as a MIME attachment, the
original code placed the base info after the attached part, which
would be discarded. Move the base info to the end of the part,
still inside the part boundary.
Add tests for the exact format of the email signature, and add tests
to ensure that the base info appears before the email signature when
producing a plain-text output, and that it appears before the part
boundary when producing a MIME attachment.

patch-ids: refuse to compute patch-id for merge commit
The patch-id code which powers "log --cherry-pick" doesn't
look at whether each commit is a merge or not. It just feeds
the commit's first parent to the diff, and ignores any
additional parents.
In theory, this might be useful if you wanted to find
equivalence between, say, a merge commit and a squash-merge
that does the same thing. But it also promotes a false
equivalence between distinct merges. For example, every
"merge -s ours" would look identical to an empty commit
(which is true in a sense, but presumably there was a value
in merging in the discarded history). Since patch-ids are
meant for throwing away duplicates, we should err on the
side of _not_ matching such merges.
Moreover, we may spend a lot of extra time computing these
merge diffs. In the case that inspired this patch, a "git
format-patch --cherry-pick" dropped from over 3 minutes to
less than 3 seconds.
This seems pretty drastic, but is easily explained. The
command was invoked by a "git rebase" of an older topic
branch; there had been tens of thousands of commits on the
upstream branch in the meantime. In addition, this project
used a topic-branch workflow with occasional "back-merges"
from "master" to each topic (to resolve conflicts on the
topics rather than in the merge commits). So there were not
only extra merges, but the diffs for these back-merges were
generally quite large (because they represented _everything_
that had been merged to master since the topic branched).
This patch treats a merge fed to commit_patch_id() or
add_commit_patch_id() as an error, and a lookup for such a
merge via has_commit_patch_id() will always return NULL.
An earlier version of the patch tried to distinguish between
"error" and "patch id for merges not defined", but that
becomes unnecessarily complicated. The only callers are:
1. revision traversals which want to do --cherry-pick;
they call add_commit_patch_id(), but do not care if it
fails. They only want to add what we can, look it up
later with has_commit_patch_id(), and err on the side
of not-matching.
2. format-patch --base, which calls commit_patch_id().
This _does_ notice errors, but should never feed a
merge in the first place (and if it were to do so
accidentally, then this patch is a strict improvement;
we notice the bug rather than generating a bogus
patch-id).
So in both cases, this does the right thing.

The patch-id code may be running inside another porcelain
like "git log" or "git format-patch", and therefore may have
set diff_detect_rename_default, either via the diff-ui
config, or by default since 5404c11 (diff: activate
diff.renames by default, 2016-02-25). This is the case even
if a command is run with `--no-renames`, as that is applied
only to the diff-options used by the command itself.
Rename detection doesn't help the patch-id results. It
_may_ actually hurt, as minor differences in the files that
would be overlooked by patch-id's canonicalization might
result in different renames (though I'd doubt that it ever
comes up in practice).
But mostly it is just a waste of CPU to compute these
renames.
Note that this does have one user-visible impact: the
prerequisite patches listed by "format-patch --base". There
may be some confusion between different versions of git as
older ones will enable renames, but newer ones will not.
However, this was already a problem, as people with
different settings for the "diff.renames" config would get
different results. After this patch, everyone should get the
same results, regardless of their config.

Generally remote-curl would never see a URL that did not
have "proto:" at the beginning, as that is what tells git to
run the "git-remote-proto" helper (and git-remote-http, etc,
are aliases for git-remote-curl).
However, the special syntax "proto::something" will run
git-remote-proto with only "something" as the URL. So a
malformed URL like:
http::/example.com/repo.git
will feed the URL "/example.com/repo.git" to
git-remote-http. The resulting URL has no protocol, but the
code added by 372370f (http: use credential API to handle
proxy authentication, 2016-01-26) does not handle this case
and segfaults.
For the purposes of this code, we don't really care what the
exact protocol; only whether or not it is https. So let's
just assume that a missing protocol is not, and curl will
handle the real error (which is that the URL is nonsense).

When pack-objects is given --include-tag, it peels each tag
ref down to a non-tag object, and if that non-tag object is
going to be packed, we include the tag, too. But what
happens if we have a chain of tags (e.g., tag "A" points to
tag "B", which points to commit "C")?
We'll peel down to "C" and realize that we want to include
tag "A", but we do not ever consider tag "B", leading to a
broken pack (assuming "B" was not otherwise selected).
Instead, we have to walk the whole chain, adding any tags we
find to the pack.
Interestingly, it doesn't seem possible to trigger this
problem with "git fetch", but you can with "git clone
--single-branch". The reason is that we generate the correct
pack when the client explicitly asks for "A" (because we do
a real reachability analysis there), and "fetch" is more
willing to do so. There are basically two cases:
1. If "C" is already a ref tip, then the client can deduce
that it needs "A" itself (via find_non_local_tags), and
will ask for it explicitly rather than relying on the
include-tag capability. Everything works.
2. If "C" is not already a ref tip, then we hope for
include-tag to send us the correct tag. But it doesn't;
it generates a broken pack. However, the next step is
to do a follow-up run of find_non_local_tags(),
followed by fetch_refs() to backfill any tags we
learned about.
In the normal case, fetch_refs() calls quickfetch(),
which does a connectivity check and sees we have no
new objects to fetch. We just write the refs.
But for the broken-pack case, the connectivity check
fails, and quickfetch will follow-up with the remote,
asking explicitly for each of the ref tips. This picks
up the missing object in a new pack.
For a regular "git clone", we are similarly OK, because we
explicitly request all of the tag refs, and get a correct
pack. But with "--single-branch", we kick in tag
auto-following via "include-tag", but do _not_ do a
follow-up backfill. We just take whatever the server sent us
via include-tag and write out tag refs for any tag objects
we were sent. So prior to c6807a4 (clone: open a shortcut
for connectivity check, 2013-05-26), we actually claimed the
clone was a success, but the result was silently
corrupted! Since c6807a4, index-pack's connectivity
check catches this case, and we correctly complain.
The included test directly checks that pack-objects does not
generate a broken pack, but also confirms that "clone
--single-branch" does not hit the bug.
Note that tag chains introduce another interesting question:
if we are packing the tag "B" but not the commit "C", should
"A" be included?
Both before and after this patch, we do not include "A",
because the initial peel_ref() check only knows about the
bottom-most level, "C". To realize that "B" is involved at
all, we would have to switch to an incremental peel, in
which we examine each tagged object, asking if it is being
packed (and including the outer tag if so).
But that runs contrary to the optimizations in peel_ref(),
which avoid accessing the objects at all, in favor of using
the value we pull from packed-refs. It's OK to walk the
whole chain once we know we're going to include the tag (we
have to access it anyway, so the effort is proportional to
the pack we're generating). But for the initial selection,
we have to look at every ref. If we're only packing a few
objects, we'd still have to parse every single referenced
tag object just to confirm that it isn't part of a tag
chain.
This could be addressed if packed-refs stored the complete
tag chain for each peeled ref (in most cases, this would be
the same cost as now, as each "chain" is only a single
link). But given the size of that project, it's out of scope
for this fix (and probably nobody cares enough anyway, as
it's such an obscure situation). This commit limits itself
to just avoiding the creation of a broken pack.

We generate a series of packfiles test-1-$pack,
test-2-$pack, with different properties and then examine
them. However we always store the packname generated by
pack-objects in the variable packname_1. This probably was
meant to be packname_2 in the second test, but it turns out
that it doesn't matter: once we are done with the first
pack, we can just keep using the same $packname variable.
So let's drop the confusing "_1" parameter. At the same
time, let's give test-1 and test-2 more descriptive names,
which can help keep them straight (note that we _could_
likewise overwrite the packfiles in each test, but by using
separate filenames, we are sure that test 2 does not
accidentally use the packfile from test 1).

This test unpacks objects into a separate repository, and
accesses it by setting GIT_DIR in a subshell. We can do the
same thing these days by using "git init <repo>" and "git
-C". In most cases this is shorter, though when there are
multiple commands, we may end up repeating the "-C".
However, this repetition can actually be a good thing. This
patch also fixes a bug introduced by 512477b (tests: use
"env" to run commands with temporary env-var settings,
2014-03-18). That commit essentially converted:
(GIT_DIR=...; export GIT_DIR
cmd1 &&
cmd2)
into:
(GIT_DIR=... cmd1 &&
cmd2)
which obviously loses the GIT_DIR setting for cmd2 (we never
noticed the bug because it simply runs "cmd2" in the parent
repo, which means we were simply failing to test anything
interesting). By using "git -C" rather than a subshell, it
becomes quite obvious where each command is supposed to be
running.

If you delete the symbolic-ref HEAD from a repository, Git no longer

submodule: avoid auto-discovery in prepare_submodule_repo_env()
The function is used to set up the environment variable used in a
subprocess we spawn in a submodule directory. The callers set up a
child_process structure, find the working tree path of one submodule
and set .dir field to it, and then use start_command() API to spawn
the subprocess like "status", "fetch", etc.
When this happens, we expect that the ".git" (either a directory or
a gitfile that points at the real location) in the current working
directory of the subprocess MUST be the repository for the submodule.
If this ".git" thing is a corrupt repository, however, because
prepare_submodule_repo_env() unsets GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE, the
subprocess will see ".git", thinks it is not a repository, and
attempt to find one by going up, likely to end up in finding the
repository of the superproject. In some codepaths, this will cause
a command run with the "--recurse-submodules" option to recurse
forever.
By exporting GIT_DIR=.git, disable the auto-discovery logic in the
subprocess, which would instead stop it and report an error.
The test illustrates existing problems in a few callsites of this
function. Without this fix, "git fetch --recurse-submodules", "git
status" and "git diff" keep recursing forever.
Compiling color.c with gcc 6.2.0 using -O3 produces some
-Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives:
color.c: In function ‘color_parse_mem’:
color.c:189:10: warning: ‘bg.blue’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
out += xsnprintf(out, len, "%c8;2;%d;%d;%d", type,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c->red, c->green, c->blue);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
color.c:208:15: note: ‘bg.blue’ was declared here
struct color bg = { COLOR_UNSPECIFIED };
^~
[ditto for bg.green, bg.red, fg.blue, etc]
This is doubly confusing, because the declaration shows it
being initialized! Even though we do not explicitly
initialize the color components, an incomplete initializer
sets the unmentioned members to zero.
What the warning doesn't show is that we later do this:
struct color c;
if (!parse_color(&c, ...)) {
if (fg.type == COLOR_UNSPECIFIED)
fg = c;
...
}
gcc is clever enough to realize that a struct assignment
from an uninitialized variable taints the destination. But
unfortunately it's _not_ clever enough to realize that we
only look at those members when type is set to COLOR_RGB, in
which case they are always initialized.
With -O2, gcc does not look into parse_color() and must
assume that "c" emerges fully initialized. With -O3, it
inlines parse_color(), and learns just enough to get
confused.
We can silence the false positive by initializing the
temporary "c". This also future-proofs us against
violating the type assumptions (the result would probably
still be buggy, but in a deterministic way).

error_errno: use constant return similar to error()
Commit e208f9c (make error()'s constant return value more
visible, 2012-12-15) introduced some macro trickery to make
the constant return from error() more visible to callers,
which in turn can help gcc produce better warnings (and
possibly even better code).
Later, fd1d672 (usage.c: add warning_errno() and
error_errno(), 2016-05-08) introduced another variant, and
subsequent commits converted some uses of error() to
error_errno(), losing the magic from e208f9c for those
sites.
As a result, compiling vcs-svn/svndiff.c with "gcc -O3"
produces -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives (at least
with gcc 6.2.0). Let's give error_errno() the same
treatment, which silences these warnings.

The algorithm in diff-highlight only understands how to look
at two sides of a diff; it cannot correctly handle combined
diffs with multiple preimages. Often highlighting does not
trigger at all for these diffs because the line counts do
not match up. E.g., if we see:
- ours
-theirs
++resolved
we would not bother highlighting; it naively looks like a
single line went away, and then a separate hunk added
another single line.
But of course there are exceptions. E.g., if the other side
deleted the line, we might see:
- ours
++resolved
which looks like we dropped " ours" and added "+resolved".
This is only a small highlighting glitch (we highlight the
space and the "+" along with the content), but it's also the
tip of the iceberg. Even if we learned to find the true
content here (by noticing we are in a 3-way combined diff
and marking _two_ characters from the front of the line as
uninteresting), there are other more complicated cases where
we really do need to handle a 3-way hunk.
Let's just punt for now; we can recognize combined diffs by
the presence of extra "@" symbols in the hunk header, and
treat them as non-diff content.

Now that we have a test suite for diff highlight, we can
show off the improvements from 8d00662 (diff-highlight: do
not split multibyte characters, 2015-04-03).
While we're at it, we can also add another case that
_doesn't_ work: combining code points are treated as their
own unit, which means that we may stick colors between them
and the character they are modifying (with the result that
the color is not shown in an xterm, though it's possible
that other terminals err the other way, and show the color
but not the accent). There's no fix here, but let's
document it as a failure.

Each test run generates a "count" file in t/test-results
that stores the number of successful, failed, etc tests.
If you run "t1234-foo.sh", that file is named as
"t/test-results/t1234-foo-$$.count"
The addition of the PID there is serving no purpose, and
makes analysis of the count files harder.
The presence of the PID dates back to 2d84e9f (Modify
test-lib.sh to output stats to t/test-results/*,
2008-06-08), but no reasoning is given there. Looking at the
current code, we can see that other files we write to
test-results (like *.exit and *.out) do _not_ have the PID
included. So the presence of the PID does not meaningfully
allow one to store the results from multiple runs anyway.
Moreover, anybody wishing to read the *.count files to
aggregate results has to deal with the presence of multiple
files for a given test (and figure out which one is the most
recent based on their timestamps!). The only consumer of
these files is the aggregate.sh script, which arguably gets
this wrong. If a test is run multiple times, its counts will
appear multiple times in the total (I say arguably only
because the desired semantics aren't documented anywhere,
but I have trouble seeing how this behavior could be
useful).
So let's just drop the PID, which fixes aggregate.sh, and
will make new features based around the count files easier
to write.
Note that since the count-file may already exist (when
re-running a test), we also switch the "cat" from appending
to truncating. The use of append here was pointless in the
first place, as we expected to always write to a unique file.
