connect.c: remove a few globals by using git_config callback data

Since ef90d6d (Provide git_config with a callback-data parameter,
2008-05-14), git_config() takes a callback data pointer that can be
used to pass extra parameters to the parsing function. The codepath
to parse configuration variables related to git proxy predates this
facility and used a pair of file scope static variables instead.

This patch removes the need for these global variables by passing the
name of the host we are trying to access as the callback data.

parseopt: prevent KEEP_UNKNOWN and STOP_AT_NON_OPTION... René Scharfe Mon, 9 Mar 2009 20:57:38 +0000 (21:57 +0100)

parseopt: prevent KEEP_UNKNOWN and STOP_AT_NON_OPTION from being used together

As suggested by Junio, disallow the flags PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and
PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION to be turned on at the same time, as a
value of an unknown option could be mistakenly classified as a
non-option, stopping the parser early. E.g.:

git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1

The parser should have stopped at "arg0", but it already stops at
"value".

This patch makes parse_options() die if the two flags are used in
combination.

archive: use parseopt for local-only optionsRené Scharfe Sun, 8 Mar 2009 18:21:53 +0000 (19:21 +0100)

archive: use parseopt for local-only options

Replace the hand-rolled parsers that find and remove --remote and --exec
by a parseopt parser that also handles --output.

All three options only have a meaning if no remote server is used or on
the local side. They must be rejected by upload-archive and should not
be sent to the server by archive.

We can't use a single parser for both remote and local side because the
remote end possibly understands a different set of options than the
local side. A local parser would then wrongly accuse options valid on
the other side as being incorrect.

This patch implements a very forgiving parser that understands only the
three options mentioned above. All others are passed to the normal,
complete parser in archive.c (running either locally in archive, or
remotely in upload-archive). This normal parser definition contains
dummy entries for the three options, in order for them to appear in the
help screen.

The parseopt parser allows multiple occurrences of --remote and --exec
unlike the previous one; the one specified last wins. This looseness
is acceptable, I think.

Add an (optional, since expensive) test for >2gb clones

Define GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB=t if you want the test not to be skipped.

The test works by constructing a repository larger than 2gb, and then
cloning it.

The repository is forced larger than 2gb by setting compression and
delta depth to zero, and then adding just enough unique objects of
a given size.

The objects consist of a running decimal number in ASCII, padded by
spaces. Should that break in the future, e.g. when pack v4 becomes
default, there is a commented-out call to test-genrandom which can be
substituted, but that uses more cycles than the current method.

bash completion: fix completion issues with fetch, pull, and push

Sverre Rabbelier noticed a completion issue with push:

$ git push ori<tab>
git push origin

$ git push -f ori<tab>
git push -f origin/

Markus Heidelberg pointed out that the issue extends to fetch and pull.

The reason is that the current code naively assumes that if
COMP_CWORD=2, it should complete a remote name, otherwise it should
complete a refspec. This assumption fails if there are any --options.

This patch fixes that issue by instead scanning COMP_CWORDS to see if
the remote has been completed yet (we now assume the first non-dashed
argument is the remote). The new logic is factored into a function,
shared by fetch, pull, and push.

The new function also properly handles '.' as the remote.

Brown paper bag fix for MinGW 64-bit stat

When overriding the identifier "stat" so that "struct stat" will be
substituted with "struct _stati64" everywhere, I tried to fix the calls
to the _function_ stat(), too, but I forgot to change the earlier
attempt "stat64" to "_stati64" there.

So, the stat() calls were overridden by calls to _stati64() instead.

Unfortunately, there is a function _stati64() so that I missed that
calls to stat() were not actually overridden by calls to mingw_lstat(),
but t4200-rerere.sh showed the error.

Make git blame's date output format configurable, like git log

Add the following:

- git config value blame.date that expects one of the git log date
formats (e.g. relative,local,default,iso,...);

- git blame command line option --date expects one of the git
log date formats;

- documentation in blame-options.txt;

- git blame uses the appropriate date.c functions and enums to
make sense of the date format and provide appropriate data;

git blame continues to line up the output columns by padding the date
column up to the max width of the chosen date format.

The date format for git blame without both blame.date and --date continues
to be ISO for backwards compatibility.

git annotate ignores the date format specifiers and continues to uses the
ISO format, as before.

The type 'off_t' should be used everywhere so that the bit-depth of that

recompile your program to benefit from the extended precision.

Only that it was not done that way in the MS runtime library.

This patch reroutes off_t to off64_t and provides the other necessary
changes so that finally, clones larger than 2 gigabyte work on Windows
(provided you are on a file system that allows files larger than 2gb).

improve missing repository error message

Certain remote commands, when asked to do something in a
particular directory that was not actually a git repository,
would say "unable to chdir or not a git archive". The
"chdir" bit is an unnecessary detail, and the term "git
archive" is much less common these days than "git repository".

So let's switch them all to:

rev-list: estimate number of bisection step leftChristian Couder Sat, 21 Feb 2009 08:26:01 +0000 (09:26 +0100)

rev-list: estimate number of bisection step left

This patch teaches "git rev-list --bisect-vars" to output an estimate
of the number of bisection step left _after the current one_ along with
the other variables it already outputs.

This patch also makes "git-bisect.sh" display this number of steps left
_after the current one_, along with the estimate of the number of
revisions left to test (after the current one).

Here is a table to help analyse what should be the best estimate for
the number of bisect steps left.

N : linear case --> probabilities --> best
-------------------------------------------------------------
1 : G-B --> 0 --> 0
2 : G-U1-B --> 0 --> 0
3 : G-U1-U2-B --> 0(1/3) 1(2/3) --> 1
4 : G-U1-U2-U3-B --> 1 --> 1
5 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-B --> 1(3/5) 2(2/5) --> 1
6 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-B --> 1(2/6) 2(4/6) --> 2
7 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-B --> 1(1/7) 2(6/7) --> 2
8 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-U7-B --> 2 --> 2
9 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-U7-U8-B --> 2(7/9) 3(2/9) --> 2
10: G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-U7-U8-U9-B --> 2(6/10)3(4/10)--> 2

In the column "N", there is the number of revisions that could _now_
be the first bad commit we are looking for.

The "linear case" column describes the linear history corresponding to
the number in column N. G means good, B means bad, and Ux means
unknown. Note that the first bad revision we are looking for can be
any Ux or B.

In the "probabilities" column, there are the different outcomes in
number of steps with the odds of each outcome in parenthesis
corresponding to the linear case.

The "best" column gives the most accurate estimate among the different
outcomes in the "probabilities" column.

We have the following:

best(2^n) == n - 1

and for any x between 0 included and 2^n excluded, the probability for
n - 1 steps left looks like:

P(2^n + x) == (2^n - x) / (2^n + x)

and P(2^n + x) < 0.5 means 2^n < 3x

So the algorithm used in this patch calculates 2^n and x, and then
choose between returning n - 1 and n.

send-email: add --confirm option and configuration... Jay Soffian Tue, 3 Mar 2009 04:52:18 +0000 (23:52 -0500)

send-email: add --confirm option and configuration setting

send-email violates the principle of least surprise by automatically
cc'ing additional recipients without confirming this with the user.

This patch teaches send-email a --confirm option. It takes the
following values:

--confirm=always always confirm before sending
--confirm=never never confirm before sending
--confirm=cc confirm before sending when send-email has
automatically added addresses from the patch to
the Cc list
--confirm=compose confirm before sending the first message when
using --compose. (Needed to maintain backwards
compatibility with existing behavior.)
--confirm=auto 'cc' + 'compose'

If sendemail.confirm is unconfigured, the option defaults to 'compose'
if any suppress-Cc related options have been used, otherwise it defaults
to 'auto'.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to introduce this patch such that it
helps new users without potentially annoying some existing users. We
attempt to mitigate the latter by:

* Allowing the user to set 'git config sendemail.confirm never'
* Allowing the user to say 'all' after the first prompt to not be
prompted on remaining emails during the same invocation.
* Telling the user about the 'sendemail.confirm' setting if it is
unconfigured whenever we prompt due to Cc before sending.
* Only prompting if no --suppress related options have been passed, as
using such an option is likely to indicate an experienced send-email
user.

There is a slight fib in message informing the user of the
sendemail.confirm setting and this is intentional. Setting 'auto'
differs from leaving sendemail.confirm unset in two ways: 1) 'auto'
obviously squelches the informational message; 2) 'auto' prompts when
the Cc list has been expanded even in the presence of a --suppress
related option, where leaving sendemail.confirm unset does not. This is
intentional to keep the message simple, and to avoid adding another
sendemail.confirm value ('auto-except-suppress'?).

t3400-rebase: Move detached HEAD check earlier

Short story: There is a section in t3400 that tests fundamental rebase
properties. 3ec7371f (Add two extra tests for git rebase, 2009-02-09)
added a check that rebase works on a detached HEAD, but the test was put
near the end of the file. This moves it to a more suitable place.

Long story: The test that preceded the one in question tests that a
rebased commit degrades from a content change with mode change to a
mere mode change. But on Windows, where we have core.filemode=false,
the original commit did not record the mode change, and so the rebase
operation did not rebase anything. This caused the subsequent detached
HEAD test to fail.

There were actually two problems. This recipe created a situation where
git log would output a child commit after its parent. This meant that
we called fix_reversal which called splitvarc, which should call modify_arc
to note the fact that it has modified the arc that it has just split. It
wasn't, which meant that displayorder and other variables got into an
inconsistent state (a commit appearing twice in displayorder).

This then meant that the targetrow/targetid logic in drawvisible thought
it need to redraw each time. That, together with the fact that drawvisible
called drawcommits which called drawvisible if a redraw was needed, led
to the infinite loop.

In fact drawvisible is now the only caller of drawcommits. Thus, the
start and end row arguments to drawcommits always encompass the whole
visible area, so drawcommits doesn't need to call drawvisible to redraw;
it just needs to clear the screen and draw what it's been asked to.

This fixes these two problems by adding a call to modify_arc in
splitvarc and by taking out the call to drawvisible in drawcommits.
It also removes an unrelated left-over debugging puts in external_blame.

bisect: fix quoting TRIED revs when "bad" commit is also "skip"ped

When the "bad" commit was also "skip"ped and when more than one
commit was skipped, the "filter_skipped" function would have
printed something like:

bisect_rev=<hash1>|<hash2>

(where <hash1> and <hash2> are hexadecimal sha1 hashes)

and this would have been evaled later as piping "bisect_rev=<hash1>"
into "<hash2>", which would have failed.

So this patch makes the "filter_skipped" function properly quote
what it outputs, so that it will print something like:

bisect_rev='<hash1>|<hash2>'

which will be properly evaled later. The caller was not stopping
properly because the scriptlet this function returned to be evaled
was not strung together with && and because of this, an error in
an earlier part of the output was simply ignored.

A test case is added to the test suite.

And while at it, we also initialize the VARS, FOUND and TRIED
variables, so that we protect ourselves from environment variables
the user may have with these names.

Make sure objects/pack exists before creating a new pack

In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create
"pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is
not created upon initialization. It was Ok because subdirectories are
created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then,
packfiles were recent invention.

After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of
objects/pack/ directory in the repository. This was exacerbated with
8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs,
2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.

Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.

This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.

- odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;

- odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
create leading directories as needed.
