git-svn: fix auth parameter handling on SVN 1.9.0+
For users with "store-passwords = no" set in the "[auth]" section of
their ~/.subversion/config, SVN 1.9.0+ would fail with the
following message when attempting to call svn_auth_set_parameter:
Value is not a string (or undef) at Git/SVN/Ra.pm
Ironically, this breakage was caused by r1553823 in subversion:
"Make svn_auth_set_parameter() usable from Perl bindings."
Since 2007 (602015e0e6ec), git-svn has used a workaround to make
svn_auth_set_parameter usable internally. However this workaround
breaks under SVN 1.9+, which deals properly with the type mapping
and fails to recognize our workaround.
For pre-1.9.0 SVN, we continue to use the existing workaround for
the lack of proper type mapping in the bindings.
Tested under subversion 1.6.17 and 1.9.3.
I've also verified r1553823 was not backported to SVN 1.8.x:
"git format-patch" learned to notice format.outputDirectory
configuration variable. This allows "-o <dir>" option to be
omitted on the command line if you always use the same directory in
your workflow.
Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles
mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not

filter-branch: resolve $commit^{tree} in no-index case
Commit 348d4f2 (filter-branch: skip index read/write when
possible, 2015-11-06) taught filter-branch to optimize out
the final "git write-tree" when we know we haven't touched
the tree with any of our filters. It does by simply putting
the literal text "$commit^{tree}" into the "$tree" variable,
avoiding a useless rev-parse call.
However, when we pass this to git_commit_non_empty_tree(),
it gets confused; it resolves "$commit^{tree}" itself, and
compares our string to the 40-hex sha1, which obviously
doesn't match. As a result, "--prune-empty" (or any custom
filter using git_commit_non_empty_tree) will fail to drop
an empty commit (when filter-branch is used without a tree
or index filter).
Let's resolve $tree to the 40-hex ourselves, so that
git_commit_non_empty_tree can work. Unfortunately, this is a
bit slower due to the extra process overhead:
$ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2 HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh
[...]
Test 348d4f2 HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------
7000.2: noop filter 3.76(0.24+0.26) 4.54(0.28+0.24) +20.7%
We could try to make git_commit_non_empty_tree more clever.
However, the value of $tree here is technically
user-visible. The user can provide arbitrary shell code at
this stage, which could itself have a similar assumption to
what is in git_commit_non_empty_tree. So the conservative
choice to fix this regression is to take the 20% hit and
give the pre-348d4f2 behavior. We still end up much faster
than before the optimization:
$ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2^ HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh
[...]
Test 348d4f2^ HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------
7000.2: noop filter 9.51(4.32+0.40) 4.51(0.28+0.23) -52.6%

Git tries to avoid creating a commit with an empty author
name or email. However, commits created by older, less
strict versions of git may still be in the history. There's
not much point in issuing a warning to stderr for an empty
author. The user can't do anything about it now, and we are
better off to simply include it in the shortlog output as an
empty name/email, and let the caller process it however they
see fit.
Older versions of shortlog differentiated between "author
header not present" (which complained) and "author
name/email are blank" (which included the empty ident in the
output). But since switching to format_commit_message, we
complain to stderr about either case (linux.git has a blank
author deep in its history which triggers this).
We could try to restore the older behavior (complaining only
about the missing header), but in retrospect, there's not
much point in differentiating these cases. A missing
author header is bogus, but as for the "blank" case, the
only useful behavior is to add it to the "empty name"
collection.

If we are in "--summary" mode, then we do not care about the
actual list of subject onelines associated with each author.
We care only about the number. So rather than store a
string-list for each author full of "<none>", let's just
keep a count.
This drops my best-of-five for "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on
linux.git from:

shortlog: replace hand-parsing of author with pretty-printer
When gathering the author and oneline subject for each
commit, we hand-parse the commit headers to find the
"author" line, and then continue past to the blank line at
the end of the header.
We can replace this tricky hand-parsing by simply asking the
pretty-printer for the relevant items. This also decouples
the author and oneline parsing, opening up some new
optimizations in further commits.
One reason to avoid the pretty-printer is that it might be
less efficient than hand-parsing. However, I measured no
slowdown at all running "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on
linux.git.
As a bonus, we also fix a memory leak in the (uncommon) case
that the author field is blank.

We currently use fixed-size buffers with fgets(), which
could lead to incorrect results in the unlikely event that a

can reuse the same buffer through the loop, we don't even

shortlog: match both "Author:" and "author" on stdin

it was converted to C by b8ec592 (Build in shortlog,
2006-10-22), the trailing colon became mandatory, and we no
longer matched the raw output.
Given the amount of intervening time without any bug
reports, it's probable that nobody cares. But it's
relatively easy to fix, and the end result is hopefully more
readable than the original.
Note that this no longer matches "author: ", which we did
before, but that has never been a format generated by git.

strbuf: give strbuf_getline() to the "most text friendly" variant
Now there is no direct caller to strbuf_getline(), we can demote it
to file-scope static that is private to strbuf.c and rename it to
strbuf_getdelim(). Rename strbuf_getline_crlf(), which is designed
to be the most "text friendly" variant, and allow it to take over
this simplest name, strbuf_getline(), so we can add more uses of it
without having to type _crlf over and over again in the coming
steps.

other useful values for line_termination, use a boolean variable,
nul_term_line, to tell if NUL terminated records are used, and
switch between strbuf_getline_{lf,nul} based on it.
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().
Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user
(e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git
commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are
terminated with CRLF. Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a
single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but
it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text"
input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka
<newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after
stripping <newline>.
Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented
privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others.
Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that
uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf()
and this is very much deliberate. Some callers may want to treat an
incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a
payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement
will result in misconversion when done without code audit.

After rebasing, we call "gc --auto" to clean up if we
created a lot of loose objects. However, we do so inside an

background gc blocked us by leaving "gc.log" in place),
then:
1. We will fail to clean up the state directory, leaving
the user stuck in the rebase forever (even "git am
--abort" doesn't work, because it calls "gc --auto"!).
2. In some cases, we may return a bogus exit code from
rebase, indicating failure when everything except the
auto-gc succeeded.
We can fix this by ignoring the exit code of "gc --auto".

For a long time, Git for Windows lagged behind Git's 2.x releases because
the Git for Windows developers wanted to let that big jump coincide with
a well-needed jump away from MSys to MSys2.
To understand why this is such a big issue, it needs to be noted that
many parts of Git are not written in portable C, but instead Git relies
on a POSIX shell and Perl to be available.
To support the scripts, Git for Windows has to ship a minimal POSIX
emulation layer with Bash and Perl thrown in, and when the Git for
Windows effort started in August 2007, this developer settled on using
MSys, a stripped down version of Cygwin. Consequently, the original name
of the project was "msysGit" (which, sadly, caused a *lot* of confusion
because few Windows users know about MSys, and even less care).
To compile the C code of Git for Windows, MSys was used, too: it sports
two versions of the GNU C Compiler: one that links implicitly to the
POSIX emulation layer, and another one that targets the plain Win32 API
(with a few convenience functions thrown in). Git for Windows'
executables are built using the latter, and therefore they are really
just Win32 programs. To discern executables requiring the POSIX
emulation layer from the ones that do not, the latter are called MinGW
(Minimal GNU for Windows) when the former are called MSys executables.
This reliance on MSys incurred challenges, too, though: some of our
changes to the MSys runtime -- necessary to support Git for Windows
better -- were not accepted upstream, so we had to maintain our own
fork. Also, the MSys runtime was not developed further to support e.g.
UTF-8 or 64-bit, and apart from lacking a package management system
until much later (when mingw-get was introduced), many packages provided
by the MSys/MinGW project lag behind the respective source code
versions, in particular Bash and OpenSSL. For a while, the Git for
Windows project tried to remedy the situation by trying to build newer
versions of those packages, but the situation quickly became untenable,
especially with problems like the Heartbleed bug requiring swift action
that has nothing to do with developing Git for Windows further.
Happily, in the meantime the MSys2 project (https://msys2.github.io/)
emerged, and was chosen to be the base of the Git for Windows 2.x. Just
like MSys, MSys2 is a stripped down version of Cygwin, but it is
actively kept up-to-date with Cygwin's source code. Thereby, it already
supports Unicode internally, and it also offers the 64-bit support that
we yearned for since the beginning of the Git for Windows project.
MSys2 also ported the Pacman package management system from Arch Linux
and uses it heavily. This brings the same convenience to which Linux
users are used to from `yum` or `apt-get`, and to which MacOSX users are
used to from Homebrew or MacPorts, or BSD users from the Ports system,
to MSys2: a simple `pacman -Syu` will update all installed packages to
the newest versions currently available.
MSys2 is also *very* active, typically providing package updates
multiple times per week.
It still required a two-month effort to bring everything to a state
where Git's test suite passes, many more months until the first official
Git for Windows 2.x was released, and a couple of patches still await
their submission to the respective upstream projects. Yet without MSys2,
the modernization of Git for Windows would simply not have happened.
This commit lays the ground work to supporting MSys2-based Git builds.

We can pass -o/--output-directory to the format-patch command to store
patches in some place other than the working directory. This patch
introduces format.outputDirectory configuration option for same
purpose.
The case of usage of this configuration option can be convenience
to not pass every time -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.
The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line
option, so if user will set format.outputDirectory and pass the
command line option, a result will be stored in a directory that
passed to command line option.

After changing the type of a file in the git repository, it is not possible to
"git p4 publish" the commit to perforce. This is due to the fact that the git
"T" status is not handled in git-p4.py. This can typically occur when replacing
an existing file with a symbolic link.
The "T" modifier is now supported in git-p4.py. When a file type has changed,
inform perforce with the "p4 edit -f auto" command.

lock_ref_sha1_basic: handle REF_NODEREF with invalid refs
We sometimes call lock_ref_sha1_basic with REF_NODEREF
to operate directly on a symbolic ref. This is used, for
example, to move to a detached HEAD, or when updating
the contents of HEAD via checkout or symbolic-ref.
However, the first step of the function is to resolve the
refname to get the "old" sha1, and we do so without telling
resolve_ref_unsafe() that we are only interested in the
symref. As a result, we may detect a problem there not with
the symref itself, but with something it points to.
The real-world example I found (and what is used in the test
suite) is a HEAD pointing to a ref that cannot exist,
because it would cause a directory/file conflict with other
existing refs. This situation is somewhat broken, of
course, as trying to _commit_ on that HEAD would fail. But
it's not explicitly forbidden, and we should be able to move
away from it. However, neither "git checkout" nor "git
symbolic-ref" can do so. We try to take the lock on HEAD,
which is pointing to a non-existent ref. We bail from
resolve_ref_unsafe() with errno set to EISDIR, and the lock
code thinks we are attempting to create a d/f conflict.
Of course we're not. The problem is that the lock code has
no idea what level we were at when we got EISDIR, so trying
to diagnose or remove empty directories for HEAD is not
useful.
To make things even more complicated, we only get EISDIR in
the loose-ref case. If the refs are packed, the resolution
may "succeed", giving us the pointed-to ref in "refname",
but a null oid. Later, we say "ah, the null oid means we are
creating; let's make sure there is room for it", but
mistakenly check against the _resolved_ refname, not the
original.
We can fix this by making two tweaks:
1. Call resolve_ref_unsafe() with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
when REF_NODEREF is set. This means any errors
we get will be from the orig_refname, and we can act
accordingly.
We already do this in the REF_DELETING case, but we
should do it for update, too.
2. If we do get a "refname" return from
resolve_ref_unsafe(), even with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
it may be the name of the ref pointed-to by a symref.
We already normalize this back to orig_refname before
taking the lockfile, but we need to do so before the
null_oid check.
While we're rearranging the REF_NODEREF handling, we can
also bump the initialization of lflags to the top of the
function, where we are setting up other flags. This saves us
from having yet another conditional block on REF_NODEREF
just to set it later.

lock_ref_sha1_basic: always fill old_oid while holding lock
Our basic strategy for taking a ref lock is:
1. Create $ref.lock to take the lock
2. Read the ref again while holding the lock (during which
time we know that nobody else can be updating it).
3. Compare the value we read to the expected "old_sha1"
The value we read in step (2) is returned to the caller via
the lock->old_oid field, who may use it for other purposes
(such as writing a reflog).
If we have no "old_sha1" (i.e., we are unconditionally
taking the lock), then we obviously must omit step 3. But we
_also_ omit step 2. This seems like a nice optimization, but
it means that the caller sees only whatever was left in
lock->old_oid from previous calls to resolve_ref_unsafe(),
which happened outside of the lock.
We can demonstrate this race pretty easily. Imagine you have
three commits, $one, $two, and $three. One script just flips
between $one and $two, without providing an old-sha1:
while true; do
git update-ref -m one refs/heads/foo $one
git update-ref -m two refs/heads/foo $two
done
Meanwhile, another script tries to set the value to $three,
also not using an old-sha1:
while true; do
git update-ref -m three refs/heads/foo $three
done
If these run simultaneously, we'll see a lot of lock
contention, but each of the writes will succeed some of the
time. The reflog may record movements between any of the
three refs, but we would expect it to provide a consistent
log: the "from" field of each log entry should be the same
as the "to" field of the previous one.
But if we check this:
perl -alne '
print "mismatch on line $."
if defined $last && $F[0] ne $last;
$last = $F[1];
' .git/logs/refs/heads/foo
we'll see many mismatches. Why?
Because sometimes, in the time between lock_ref_sha1_basic
filling lock->old_oid via resolve_ref_unsafe() and it taking
the lock, there may be a complete write by another process.
And the "from" field in our reflog entry will be wrong, and
will refer to an older value.
This is probably quite rare in practice. It requires writers
which do not provide an old-sha1 value, and it is a very
quick race. However, it is easy to fix: we simply perform
step (2), the read-under-lock, whether we have an old-sha1
or not. Then the value we hand back to the caller is always
atomic.

"git grep" can now be configured (or told from the command line)
how many threads to use when searching in the working tree files.

init_notes() is the main point of entry to the notes API. It ensures
that the input can be used as ref, because it needs a ref to update to
store notes tree after modifying it.
There however are many use cases where notes tree is only read, e.g.
"git log --notes=...". Any notes-shaped treeish could be used for such
purpose, but it is not allowed due to existing restriction.
Allow treeish expressions to be used in the case the notes tree is going
to be used without write "permissions". Add a flag to distinguish
whether the notes tree is intended to be used read-only, or will be
updated.
With this change, operations that use notes read-only can be fed any
notes-shaped tree-ish can be used, e.g. git log --notes=notes@{1}.

when trying to access a non-existing commit, for example:
Check the value in $type before chomping. This will cause us to
call href with its action parameter set to undef when formulating
the URL to redirect to, but that is harmless, as the function treats
a parameter that set to undef as if it does not exist.
