Makefile: explicitly set target name for autogenerated dependencies
"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o". When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute
gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E
instead to get the final content for hashing. Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E". The result is a target name without
a leading path.
Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:
$ make builtin/add.o
GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
* new build flags or prefix
CC builtin/add.o
$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \
After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":
$ touch cache.h
$ make builtin/add.o
$
Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option. Do so.

mergetools: teach tortoisemerge to handle filenames with SP correctly
TortoiseGitMerge, unlike TortoiseMerge, can be told to handle paths
with spaces in them by using -option "$FILE" (not -option:"$FILE",
which does not work for such paths) syntax.
This change was necessary because of MSYS path mangling [1], the ":"
after the "base" etc. arguments to TortoiseMerge caused the whole
argument instead of just the file name to be quoted in case of file
names with spaces. So TortoiseMerge was passed
"-base:new file.txt"
instead of
-base:"new file.txt"
(including the quotes). To work around this, TortoiseGitMerge does not
require the ":" after the arguments anymore which fixes handling file
names with spaces [2] (as written above).

apply: diagnose incomplete submodule object name better
"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the
preimage the patch was created from would have looked like. An
abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient
for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have
contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object
name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and
get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1()
for that matter).
Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name
there.
We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full
object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has
been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice
for now.
The local variable sha1_ptr in the build_fake_ancestor() function
used to either point at the null_sha1[] (if the ancestor did not
have the path) or at sha1[] (if we read the object name into the
local array), but 7a98869 (apply: get rid of --index-info in favor
of --build-fake-ancestor, 2007-09-17) made the "missing in the
ancestor" case unnecessary, hence sha1_ptr, when used, always points
at the local array.
Get rid of the unneeded variable, and restructure the if/else
cascade a bit to make it easier to read. There should be no
behaviour change.
git-am: record full index line in the patch used while rebasing
Earlier, a230949 (am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not
from mailbox, 2012-06-26) learned to regenerate patch body from the
commit object while rebasing, instead of reading from the rebase-am
front-end. While doing so, it used "git diff-tree" but without
giving it the "--full-index" option.
This does not matter for in-repository objects; during rebasing, any
abbreviated object name should uniquely identify them.
But we may be rebasing a commit that contains a change to a gitlink,
in which case we usually should not have the object (it names a
commit in the submodule). A full object name is necessary to later
reconstruct a fake ancestor index for them.
Currently, a branch filter like `--contains`, `--merged`, or
`--no-merged` is ignored when we are not in listing mode.
For example:
git branch --contains=foo bar
will create the branch "bar" from the current HEAD, ignoring
the `--contains` argument entirely. This is not very
helpful. There are two reasonable behaviors for git here:
1. Flag an error; the arguments do not make sense.
2. Implicitly go into `--list` mode
This patch chooses the latter, as it is more convenient, and
there should not be any ambiguity with attempting to create
a branch; using `--contains` and not wanting to list is
nonsensical.
That leaves the case where an explicit modification option
like `-d` is given. We already catch the case where
`--list` is given alongside `-d` and flag an error. With
this patch, we will also catch the use of `--contains` and
other filter options alongside `-d`.

These are kept short by simply deferring to PEP-8. Most of the Python
code in Git is already very close to this style (some things in contrib/
are not).
Rationale for version suggestions:
- Amongst the noise in [1], there isn't any disagreement about using
2.6 as a base (see also [2]), although Brandon Casey recently added
support for 2.4 and 2.5 to git-p4 [3].
- Restricting ourselves to 2.6+ makes aiming for Python 3 compatibility
significantly easier [4].
- Advocating Python 3 support in all scripts is currently unrealistic
because:
- 'p4 -G' provides output in a format that is very hard to use with
Python 3 (and its documentation claims Python 3 is unsupported).
- Mercurial does not support Python 3.
- Bazaar does not support Python 3.
- But we should try to make new scripts compatible with Python 3
because all new Python development is happening on version 3 and the
Python community will eventually stop supporting Python 2 [5].
- Python 3.1 is required to support the 'surrogateescape' error handler
for encoding/decodng filenames to/from Unicode strings and Python 3.0
is not longer supported.

Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate
tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their
scope. A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u'
and 'git add -A'. When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they
operate only on paths in the current directory.
The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly
problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p'
and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default. It also means that "git
add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from
what is recorded with "git commit -a".
Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training
users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to
prepare for the next steps:
* forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without
option)
* much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that
will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide.
A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic
pathspec easier to discover for users.
When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no
ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.

When this change was originally made (0846b0c - git-remote-testpy:
hash bytes explicitly , I didn't realise that the "hex" encoding we
chose is a "bytes to bytes" encoding so it just fails with an error
on Python 3 in the same way as the original code.
It is not possible to provide a single code path that works on
Python 2 and Python 3 since Python 2.x will attempt to decode the
string before encoding it, which fails for strings that are not
valid in the default encoding. Python 3.1 introduced the
"surrogateescape" error handler which handles this correctly and
permits a bytes -> unicode -> bytes round-trip to be lossless. As
the original came from reading the filesystem path, we convert them
back into the original bytes encoded in sys.getfilesystemencoding().
At this point Python 3.0 is unsupported so we don't go out of our
way to try to support it.

Files of type utf16 are handled with "p4 print" instead of the
normal "p4 -G print" interface due to how the latter does not
produce correct output. See 55aa571 (git-p4: handle utf16
filetype properly, 2011-09-17) for details.
On windows, though, "p4 print" can not be told which line
endings to use, as there is no underlying client, and always
chooses crlf, even for utf16 files. Convert the \r\n into \n
when importing utf16 files.
The fix for this is complex, in that the problem is a property
of the NT version of p4. There are old versions of p4 that
were compiled directly for cygwin that should not be subjected
to text replacement. The right check here, then, is to look
at the p4 version, not the OS version. Note also that on cygwin,

git p4: remove unreachable windows \r\n conversion code
Replacing \r\n with \n on windows was added in c1f9197 (Replace
\r\n with \n when importing from p4 on Windows, 2007-05-24), to
work around an oddity with "p4 print" on windows. Text files
are printed with "\r\r\n" endings, regardless of whether they
were created on unix or windows, and regardless of the client
LineEnd setting.
As of d2c6dd3 (use p4CmdList() to get file contents in Python
dicts. This is more robust., 2007-05-23), git-p4 uses "p4 -G
print", which generates files in a raw format. As the native
line ending format if p4 is \n, there will be no \r\n in the
raw text.
Actually, it is possible to generate a text file so that the
p4 representation includes embedded \r\n, even though this is not
normal on either windows or unix. In that case the code would
have mistakenly stripped them out, but now they will be left
intact.

Native windows binaries do not understand posix-like
path mapping offered by cygwin. Convert paths to native
using "cygpath --windows" before presenting them to p4d.
This is done using the AltRoots mechanism of p4. Both the
posix and windows forms are put in the client specification,
allowing p4 to find its location by native path even though
the environment reports a different PWD.
Shell operations in tests will use the normal form of $cli,
which will look like a posix path in cygwin, while p4 will
use AltRoots to match against the windows form of the working
directory.
This mechanism also handles the symlink issue that was fixed in 23bd0c9 (git p4 test: use real_path to resolve p4 client
symlinks, 2012-06-27). Now that every p4 client view has
an AltRoots with the real_path in it, explicitly calculating

ensures that we can co-exist with a simultaneous repack process
which creates a new pack and then prunes the old object.
This extra re-scan usually does not have a performance impact for
two reasons:
1. If an object is missing, then typically the re-scan will find a
new pack, then no more misses will occur. Or if it truly is
missing, then our next step is usually to die().
2. Re-scanning is cheap enough that we do not even notice.
However, these do not always hold. The assumption in (1) is that the
caller is expecting to find the object. This is usually the case,
but the call to `parse_object` in `everything_local` does not follow
this pattern. It is looking to see whether we have objects that the
remote side is advertising, not something we expect to
have. Therefore if we are fetching from a remote which has many refs
pointing to objects we do not have, we may end up re-scanning the
pack directory many times.
Even with this extra re-scanning, the impact is often not noticeable
due to (2); we just readdir() the packs directory and skip any packs
that are already loaded. However, if there are a large number of
packs, even enumerating the directory can be expensive, especially
if we do it repeatedly.
Having this many packs is a good sign the user should run `git gc`,
but it would still be nice to avoid having to scan the directory at
all.

We generally try to run "gc --auto" after any commands that
might introduce a large number of new objects. An obvious
place to do so is after running "fetch", which may introduce
new loose objects or packs (depending on the size of the
fetch).
While an active developer repository will probably
eventually trigger a "gc --auto" on another action (e.g.,
git-rebase), there are two good reasons why it is nicer to
do it at fetch time:
1. Read-only repositories which track an upstream (e.g., a
continuous integration server which fetches and builds,
but never makes new commits) will accrue loose objects
and small packs, but never coalesce them into a more
efficient larger pack.
2. Fetching is often already perceived to be slow to the
user, since they have to wait on the network. It's much
more pleasant to include a potentially slow auto-gc as
part of the already-long network fetch than in the
middle of productive work with git-rebase or similar.
