git-submodule.sh: preserve stdin for the command spawned by foreach
The user-supplied command spawned by 'submodule foreach' loses its
connection to the original standard input. Instead, it is connected to the
output of a pipe within the git-submodule script. The user-supplied
command supplied to 'submodule foreach' is spawned within a while loop
which is being piped into. Due to the way shells implement piping output
to a while loop, a subshell is created with its standard input attached to
the output of the pipe. This results in all of the commands executed
within the while loop to have their stdins modified in the same way,
including the user-supplied command.
This can cause a problem if the command requires reading from stdin or if
it changes its behavior based on whether stdin is a tty or not. For
example, this problem was noticed when trying to execute the following:
which printed a message about entering the first submodule and produced no
further output and exited with a status of zero. In this case, shortlog
detected that it was not connected to a tty, and since no revision was
supplied as an argument, it attempted to read the list of revisions from
standard input. Instead, it slurped up the list of submodules that was
being piped to the enclosing while loop and caused that loop to end early
without processing the remaining submodules.
Work around this behavior by saving the original standard input file
descriptor before the while loop, and restoring it when spawning the
user-supplied command.
This fixes the tests in t7407.

Documentation/i18n: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
As explained in v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work around em-dash handling in newer
AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23), if double dashes in names of commands are not
escaped, AsciiDoc renders them as em dashes.
While fixing that, spell the command name as "git sh-i18n--envsubst"
(2 words) instead of emphasizing the name of the binary (one
hyphenated name) and format it in italics.
The double-dash in the title should be escaped, too, to avoid spurious
em dashes in the header:
AsciiDoc 8.6.4 with DocBook XSL 1.76.0-RC1 copes fine and writes
"GIT\-SH\-I18N\-\-ENVSUB" even without this change, which is why it
was missed before.

AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs. Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.
AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML). Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).
AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement. Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters. The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain. (This patch will not
change that.)
The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc. Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name. The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

This commit changes that, and makes git-instaweb generate web server
config file and/or gitweb config file if don't exists.
This required naming config files after the name of web server
(alternate solution would be to somehow mark for which web server was
config file generated).
Note that web servers that embed configuration in server script file,
namely webrick and plackup, and which delete "$conf" in their *_conf
function, would have their config (server script) always regenerated.

HEAD on a branch does reference a commit via the branch ref it refers to.
The main difference of a detached HEAD is that it _directly_ refers to
a commit. Clarify this.
It is an unimportant implementation detail that ref namespaces are
implemented as subdirectories of $GIT_DIR/refs. What is more important
is that tags are in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace.
Also note that a tag can point at an object of arbitrary type, not limited
to commit.

What is more important is that branches live in refs/heads and tags live
in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace, and HEAD means the tip of the
current branch.

It was correct to say "The file $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master stores the

but not anymore, as refs can be packed into $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file.
Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and
"symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation
detail.
This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote
documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/
file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around
remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

Michael J Gruber noticed that under /bin/dash this test failed
(as is expected -- \n in the string can be interpreted by the
command), while it passed with bash. We probably could work it
around by using backquote in front of it, but it is safer and
more readable to avoid "echo" altogether in a case like this.
Earlier 7974843 (compat/cygwin.c: make runtime detection of lstat/stat
lessor impact, 2008-10-23) fixed the low-level "do we use cygwin specific
hacks for stat/lstat?" logic not to call into git_default_config() from
random codepaths that are typically very late in the program, to prevent
the call from potentially overwriting other variables that are initialized
from the configuration.
However, it forgot that on Cygwin, trust-executable-bit should default to
true.
Noticed by J6t, confirmed by Ramsay Jones, and the brown paper bag is on
Gitster's head.
fetch: Also fetch submodules in subdirectories in on-demand mode
When on-demand mode was active examining the new commits just fetched in
the superproject (to check if they record commits for submodules which are

recursively fetch submodules living in subdirectories even when it should
have.

rebase -i -p: include non-first-parent commits in todo list
Consider this graph:
D---E (topic, HEAD)
/ /
A---B---C (master)
\
F (topic2)
and the following three commands:
1. git rebase -i -p A
2. git rebase -i -p --onto F A
3. git rebase -i -p B
Currently, (1) and (2) will pick B, D, C, and E onto A and F,
respectively. However, (3) will only pick D and E onto B, but not C,
which is inconsistent with (1) and (2). As a result, we cannot modify C
during the interactive-rebase.
The current behavior also creates a bug if we do:
4. git rebase -i -p C
In (4), E is never picked. And since interactive-rebase resets "HEAD"
to "onto" before picking any commits, D and E are lost after the
interactive-rebase.
This patch fixes the inconsistency and bug by ensuring that all children
of upstream are always picked. This essentially reverts the commit: d80d6bc146232d81f1bb4bc58e5d89263fd228d4
When compiling the todo list, commits reachable from "upstream" should
never be skipped under any conditions. Otherwise, we lose the ability
to modify them like (3), and create a bug like (4).
Two of the tests contain a scenario like (3). Since the new behavior
added more commits for picking, these tests need to be updated to
account for the additional pick lines. A new test has also been added
for (4).

tests: link shell libraries into valgrind directory
When we run tests under valgrind, we symlink anything
executable that starts with git-* or test-* into a special
valgrind bin directory, and then make that our
GIT_EXEC_PATH.
However, shell libraries like git-sh-setup do not have the
executable bit marked, and did not get symlinked. This
means that any test looking for shell libraries in our
exec-path would fail to find them, even though that is a
fine thing to do when testing against a regular git build
(or in a git install, for that matter).
t2300 demonstrated this problem. The fix is to symlink these

config.c: Make git_config() work correctly when called recursively
On Cygwin, this fixes a test failure in t3301-notes.sh (test 98,
"git notes copy --for-rewrite (disabled)").
The test failure is caused by a recursive call to git_config() which
has the effect of skipping to the end-of-file while processing the
"notes.rewriteref" config variable. Thus, any config variables that
appear after "notes.rewriteref" are simply ignored by git_config().
Also, we note that the original FILE handle is leaked as a result
of the recursive call.
The recursive call to git_config() is due to the "schizophrenic stat"
functions on cygwin, where one of two different implementations of
the l/stat functions is selected lazily, depending on some config
variables.
In this case, the init_copy_notes_for_rewrite() function calls
git_config() with the notes_rewrite_config() callback function.
This callback, while processing the "notes.rewriteref" variable,
in turn calls string_list_add_refs_by_glob() to process the
associated ref value. This eventually leads to a call to the
get_ref_dir() function, which in turn calls stat(). On cygwin,
the stat() macro leads to an indirect call to cygwin_stat_stub()
which, via init_stat(), then calls git_config() in order to
determine which l/stat implementation to bind to.
In order to solve this problem, we modify git_config() so that the
global state variables used by the config reading code is packaged
up and managed on a local state stack.

The 'forced modes' test fails on cygwin because the post-update
hook loses it's executable bit when copied from the templates
directory by git-init. The template loses it's executable bit
because the lstat() function resolves to the "native Win32 API"
implementation.
This call to lstat() happens after git-init has set the "git_dir"
(so has_git_dir() returns true), but before the configuration has
been fully initialised. At this point git_config() does not find
any config files to parse and returns 0. Unfortunately, the code
used to determine the cygwin l/stat() function bindings did not
check the return from git_config() and assumed that the config
was complete and accessible once "git_dir" was set.
In order to fix the test, we simply change the binding code to
test the return value from git_config(), to ensure that it actually
had config values to read, before determining the requested binding.

help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin
Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails
with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite
the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs
script.
The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable
status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the
load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional
merge strategy programs.
Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat
schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and
their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and
config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has
been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX
emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has
been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat()
may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the
core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables.
We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced
to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a
test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if
the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic
windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on
cygwin with core.filemode set to false.
Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are
correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for
before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are
not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set.
In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in
is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section,
which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if
the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional
code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned
by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would
set the executable bit in the file mode.)

git-submodule.sh: clarify the "should we die now" logic
Earlier the decision to stop or continue was made on the $action variable
that was set by inspecting $update_module variable. The former is a
redundant variable and will be removed in another topic.
Decide upon inspecting $update_module if a failure should cascade up to
cause us immediately stop, and use a variable that means just that, to
clarify the logic.
Incidentally this also makes the merge with the other topic slightly
easier and cleaner to understand.
"git submodule update" stops at the first error and gives control
back to the user. Only after the user fixes the problematic
submodule and runs "git submodule update" again, the second error
is found. And the user needs to repeat until all the problems are
found and fixed one by one. This is tedious.
Instead, the command can remember which submodules it had trouble with,
continue updating the ones it can, and report which ones had errors at
the end. The user can run "git submodule update", find all the ones that
need minor fixing (e.g. working tree was dirty) to fix them in a single
pass. Then another "git submodule update" can be run to update all.
Note that the problematic submodules are skipped only when they are to
be integrated with a safer value of submodule.<name>.update option,
namely "checkout". Fixing a failure in a submodule that uses "rebase" or
"merge" may need an involved conflict resolution by the user, and
leaving too many submodules in states that need resolution would not
reduce the mental burden on the user.

gitweb: do not misparse nonnumeric content tag files that contain a digit
v1.7.6-rc0~27^2~4 (gitweb: Change the way "content tags" ('ctags') are
handled, 2011-04-29) tried to make gitweb's tag cloud feature more
intuitive for webmasters by checking whether the ctags/<label> under
a project's .git dir contains a number (representing the strength of
association to <label>) before treating it as one.
With that change, after putting '$feature{'ctags'}{'default'} = [1];'
in your $GITWEB_CONFIG, you could do
echo Linux >.git/ctags/linux
and gitweb would treat that as a request to tag the current repository
with the Linux tag, instead of the previous behavior of writing an
error page embedded in the projects list that triggers error messages
from Chromium and Firefox about malformed XML.
Unfortunately the pattern (\d+) used to match numbers is too loose,
and the "XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document"
error can still be experienced if you write "Linux-2.6" in place of
"Linux" in the example above. Fix it by tightening the pattern to
^\d+$.

Document the underlying protocol used by shallow repositories and --depth commands.
Explain the exchange that occurs between a client and server when
the client is requesting shallow history and/or is already using
a shallow repository.

Fix documentation of fetch-pack that implies that the client can disconnect after sending wants.
Specify conditions under which the client can terminate the connection
early. Previously, an unintended behavior was possible which could
confuse servers.

sha1_file.c: "legacy" is really the current format
Every time I look at the read-loose-object codepath, legacy_loose_object()
function makes my brain go through mental contortion. When we were playing
with the experimental loose object format, it may have made sense to call
the traditional format "legacy", in the hope that the experimental one
will some day replace it to become official, but it never happened.
This renames the function (and negates its return value) to detect if we
are looking at the experimental format, and move the code around in its
caller which used to do "if we are looing at legacy, do this special case,
otherwise the normal case is this". The codepath to read from the loose
objects in experimental format is the "unlikely" case.
Someday after Git 2.0, we should drop the support of this format.
