tests: use test_i18n* functions to suppress false positives

The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run
under GETTEXT_POISON. By using those functions to test output which is
correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings
newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are
indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be
unmarked, since it is not seen by users.

Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test
under GETTEXT_POISON. This commit replaces normal test functions by
their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for
translation, suppressing false positives.

i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of squash for translation

Mark comment messages of squash/fixup file ($squash_msg) for
translation.

Helper functions this_nth_commit_message and skip_nth_commit_message
replace the previous method of making the comment messages (such as
"This is the 2nd commit message:") aided by nth_string helper function.
This step was taken as a workaround to enabled translation of entire
sentences. However, doesn't change any text seen in English by the user,
except for string "The first commit's message is:" which was changed to
match the style of other instances.

The test t3404-rebase-interactive.sh resorts to set_fake_editor which
didn't account for GETTEXT_POISON. Fix it by assuming success when we
find dummy gettext poison output where was supposed to find the first
comment line "This is a combination of $count commits.".

For that same message, use plural aware eval_ngettext instead of
eval_gettext, since other languages have more complex plural forms.

bisect: always call setup_revisions after init_revisions

init_revisions() initializes the rev_info struct to default
values, and setup_revisions() parses any command-line
arguments and finalizes the struct.

In e22278c (bisect: display first bad commit without forking
a new process, 2009-05-28), a show_diff_tree() was added
that calls the former but not the latter. It doesn't have
any arguments to parse, but it still should do the
finalizing step.

This may have caused other minor bugs over the years, but it
became much more prominent after fe37a9c (pretty: allow
tweaking tabwidth in --expand-tabs, 2016-03-29). That leaves
the expected tab width as "-1", rather than the true default
of "8". When we see a commit with tabs to be expanded, we
end up trying to add (size_t)-1 spaces to a strbuf, which
complains about the integer overflow.

The fix is easy: just call setup_revisions() with no
arguments.

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objectsJeff King Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:38:04 +0000 (00:38 -0400)

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects

If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").

With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

repack: add --keep-unreachable optionJeff King Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:36:28 +0000 (00:36 -0400)

repack: add --keep-unreachable option

The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by
git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>",
which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than
"<when>", and drop any older ones.

This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because
"<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not
drop any new objects that are about to be referenced.
However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that
a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that
process were to take care to update the timestamp on the
object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running
"repack" process.

So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop
an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you
do automated repacking on a large number of active
repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a
corrupted repository.

It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's
complicated. In the meantime, there is a much simpler
strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop
objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable"
option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through
from git-repack.

Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at
this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own
advanced repository maintenance strategy.

use string_list initializer consistentlyJeff King Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:04:20 +0000 (06:04 -0400)

use string_list initializer consistently

There are two types of string_lists: those that own the
string memory, and those that don't. You can tell the
difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use
either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an
initializer.

Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has
corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no
initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that
case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to
remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually
have each site declare which type it means to use.

This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site
was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

blame,shortlog: don't make local option variables static

There's no need for these option variables to be static,
except that they are referenced by the options array itself,
which is static. But having all of this static is simply
unnecessary and confusing (and inconsistent with most other
commands, which either use a static global option list or a
true function-local one).

Note that in some cases we may need to actually initialize
the variables (since we cannot rely on BSS to do so). This
is a net improvement to readability, though, as we can use
the more verbose initializers for our string_lists.

parse_opt_string_list: stop allocating new strings

The parse_opt_string_list callback is basically a thin
wrapper to string_list_append() any string options we get.
However, it calls:

string_list_append(v, xstrdup(arg));

which duplicates the option value. This is wrong for two
reasons:

1. If the string list has strdup_strings set, then we are
making an extra copy, which is simply leaked.

2. If the string list does not have strdup_strings set,
then we pass memory ownership to the string list, but
it does not realize this. If we later call
string_list_clear(), which can happen if "--no-foo" is
passed, then we will leak all of the existing entries.

Instead, we should just pass the argument straight to
string_list_append, and it can decide whether to copy or not
based on its strdup_strings flag.

It's possible that some (buggy) caller could be relying on
this extra copy (e.g., because it parses some options from
an allocated argv array and then frees the array), but it's
not likely. For one, we generally only use parse_options on
the argv given to us in main(). And two, such a caller is
broken anyway, because other option types like OPT_STRING()
do not make such a copy. This patch brings us in line with
them.

because a .gitmodules file is broken (e.g. :
fatal: No url found for submodule path 'foo/bar' in .gitmodules
Failed to recurse into submodule path 'foo', signaled by exit code 128),
this is one of the cases where the user is not expected to have much of
a burden afterwards, so we can also continue in that case.

This means we only want to stop for updating submodules in case of rebase,
merge or custom update command failures, which are all signaled with
exit code 2.

send-pack: use buffered I/O to talk to pack-objectsJeff King Wed, 8 Jun 2016 19:42:16 +0000 (15:42 -0400)

send-pack: use buffered I/O to talk to pack-objects

We start a pack-objects process and then write all of the
positive and negative sha1s to it over a pipe. We do so by
formatting each item into a fixed-size buffer and then
writing each individually. This has two drawbacks:

1. There's some manual computation of the buffer size,
which is not immediately obvious is correct (though it
is).

2. We write() once per sha1, which means a lot more system
calls than are necessary.

We can solve both by wrapping the pipe descriptor in a stdio
handle; this is the same technique used by upload-pack when
serving fetches.

Note that we can also simplify and improve the error
handling here. The original detected a single write error
and broke out of the loop (presumably to avoid writing the
error message over and over), but never actually acted on
seeing an error; we just fed truncated input and took
whatever pack-objects returned.

In practice, this probably didn't matter, as the likely
errors would be caused by pack-objects dying (and we'd
probably just die with SIGPIPE anyway). But we can easily
make this simpler and more robust; the stdio handle keeps an
error flag, which we can check at the end.

tree-diff: avoid alloca for large allocationsJeff King Tue, 7 Jun 2016 22:53:00 +0000 (18:53 -0400)

tree-diff: avoid alloca for large allocations

Commit 72441af (tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate
diffs for multiparent cases as well, 2014-04-07) introduced
the use of alloca so that the common cases of commits with 1
or 2 parents would not be adversely affected by going
through the multi-parent code.

However, our xalloca is not ideal when the number of parents
grows very large:

1. If the requested size is too large for our stack,
alloca() has no way to tell us, and we simply segfault
while trying to access the memory.

2. It does not use our usual memory_limit_check() logic.

I measured, and alloca is indeed buying us a very small
speedup over xmalloc()/free(). So we'd want to keep
something like it.

This patch simply puts a conditional in place at each
callsite: we use alloca for common known-small numbers of
parents, and otherwise use the heap. We are technically
still vulnerable to (1), but no more so than if we simply
put a few dozen bytes on the stack, which we must do all the
time anyway. And likewise, we technically miss a memory
limit check if it is tiny, but such a limit is pointless.

An alternative to this would be implement something like:

struct tree *tp, tp_fallback[2];
if (nparent <= ARRAY_SIZE(tp_fallback))
tp = tp_fallback;
else
ALLOC_ARRAY(tp, nparent);
...
if (tp != tp_fallback)
free(tp);

That would let us drop our xalloca() portability code
entirely. But in my measurements, this seemed to perform
slightly worse than the xalloca solution.

Note in the example above, and in the patch below, I've used
ALLOC_ARRAY() to replace the manual xmalloc(nr * sizeof(*x)).
Besides being shorter, this has the bonus that one cannot
accidentally overflow a size_t during that computation.

add: add --chmod=+x / --chmod=-x options

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be
set) for paths in a repository with `core.filemode` set to false,
though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality. For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.

Although this can be done with a plumbing command
(`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add`
command allows users to set a file executable with a command that
they're already familiar with.

regex: fix a SIZE_MAX macro redefinition warningRamsay Jones Tue, 7 Jun 2016 00:35:33 +0000 (01:35 +0100)

regex: fix a SIZE_MAX macro redefinition warning

Since commit 56a1a3ab ("Silence GCC's \"cast of pointer to integer of a
different size\" warning", 26-10-2015), sparse has been issuing a macro
redefinition warning for the SIZE_MAX macro. However, gcc did not issue
any such warning.

After commit 56a1a3ab, in terms of the order of #includes and #defines,
the code looked something like:

$ cat -n junk.c
1 #include <stddef.h>
2
3 #define SIZE_MAX ((size_t) -1)
4
5 #include <stdint.h>
6
7 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
8 {
9 return 0;
10 }
$
$ gcc junk.c
$

However, if you compile that file with -Wsystem-headers, then it will
also issue a warning. Having set -Wsystem-headers in CFLAGS, using the
config.mak file, then (on cygwin):

$ make compat/regex/regex.o
CC compat/regex/regex.o
In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.3/include/stdint.h:9:0,
from compat/regex/regcomp.c:21,
from compat/regex/regex.c:77:
/usr/include/stdint.h:362:0: warning: "SIZE_MAX" redefined
#define SIZE_MAX (__SIZE_MAX__)
^
In file included from compat/regex/regex.c:69:0:
compat/regex/regex_internal.h:108:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
# define SIZE_MAX ((size_t) -1)
^
$

The compilation of the compat/regex code is somewhat unusual in that the
regex.c file directly #includes the other c files (regcomp.c, regexec.c
and regex_internal.c). Commit 56a1a3ab added an #include of <stdint.h>
to the regcomp.c file, which results in the redefinition, since this is
included after the regex_internal.h header. This header file contains a
'fallback' definition for SIZE_MAX, in order to support systems which do
not have the <stdint.h> header (the HAVE_STDINT_H macro is not defined).

In order to suppress the warning, we move the #include of <stdint.h>
from regcomp.c to the start of the compilation unit, close to the top
of regex.c, prior to the #include of the regex_internal.h header.

reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commitsSZEDER Gábor Fri, 3 Jun 2016 20:42:35 +0000 (22:42 +0200)

reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commits

If a repository contains more than one root commit, then its HEAD
reflog may contain multiple "creation events", i.e. entries whose
"from" value is the null sha1. Listing such a reflog currently stops
prematurely at the first such entry, even when the reflog still
contains older entries. This can scare users into thinking that their
reflog got truncated after 'git checkout --orphan'.

Continue walking the reflog past such creation events based on the
preceeding reflog entry's "new" value.

The test 'symbolic-ref writes reflog entry' in t1401-symbolic-ref
implicitly relies on the current behavior of the reflog walker to stop
at a root commit and thus to list only the reflog entries that are
relevant for that test. Adjust the test to explicitly specify the
number of relevant reflog entries to be listed.
