Functions which act on commits currently rely on a file-scope static
variable to be set before they're called. Consequently, the API and
corresponding callsites are ugly and unclear. Remove this variable
and change their API to accept the commit to act on as additional
argument so that the callsites change from looking like
This change is also in line with our long-term goal of exposing some
of these functions through a public API.

The "-x" command-line option is used to record the name of the
original commits being picked in the commit message. The variable
corresponding to this option is named "no_replay" for historical
reasons; the name is especially confusing because the term "replay" is
used to describe what cherry-pick does (for example, in the
documentation of the "--mainline" option). So, give the variable
corresponding to the "-x" command-line option a better name:
"record_origin".

The only place get_encoding uses the global "commit" variable is when
writing an error message explaining that its lone argument was NULL.
Since the function's only caller ensures that a NULL argument isn't
passed, we can remove this check with two beneficial consequences:
1. Since the function doesn't use the global "commit" variable any
more, it won't need to change when we eliminate the global variable
later in the series.
2. Translators no longer need to localize an error message that will
never be shown.

The add_message_to_msg function has some dead code, an unclear API,
only one callsite. While it originally intended fill up an empty
commit message with the commit object name while picking, it really
doesn't do this -- a bug introduced in v1.5.1-rc1~65^2~2 (Make
git-revert & git-cherry-pick a builtin, 2007-03-01). Today, tests in
t3505-cherry-pick-empty.sh indicate that not filling up an empty
commit message is the desired behavior. Re-implement and inline the
function accordingly, with a beneficial side-effect: don't dereference
a NULL pointer when the commit doesn't have a delimeter after the
header.

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
shell libraries directly into the valgrind directory.

t/Makefile: pass test opts to valgrind target properly
The valgrind target just reinvokes make with GIT_TEST_OPTS

simply run the test suite without valgrind on.
Instead, we should pass GIT_TEST_OPTS on the command-line,
overriding what's in config.mak, and take care to append to
whatever the user has there already.

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 $GITWEB_CONFIG, you could do
echo Linux >.git/ctags/linux
and gitweb would treat that as a request to tag the current repository
with the Linux tag, instead of the previous behavior of writing an
error page embedded in the projects list that triggers error messages
from Chromium and Firefox about malformed XML.
Unfortunately the pattern (\d+) used to match numbers is too loose,
and the "XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document"
error can still be experienced if you write "Linux-2.6" in place of
"Linux" in the example above. Fix it by tightening the pattern to
^\d+$.

diff: futureproof "stop feeding the backend early" logic
Refactor the "do not stop feeding the backend early" logic into a small
helper function and use it in both run_diff_files() and diff_tree() that
has the stop-early optimization. We may later add other types of diffcore
transformation that require to look at the whole result like diff-filter
does, and having the logic in a single place is essential for longer term
maintainability.
diff_tree: disable QUICK optimization with diff filter
We stop looking for changes early with QUICK, so our diff
queue contains only a subset of the changes. However, we
don't apply diff filters until later; it will appear at that
point as though there are no changes matching our filter,
when in reality we simply didn't keep looking for changes
long enough.
Commit 2cfe8a6 (diff --quiet: disable optimization when
--diff-filter=X is used, 2011-03-16) fixes this in some
cases by disabling the optimization when a filter is
present. However, it only tweaked run_diff_files, missing
the similar case in diff_tree. Thus the fix worked only for
diffing the working tree and index, but not between trees.

The easiest way to make this test pass is to just update expected

check whether 'git grep -E -F -G' is different from 'git grep -E -G -F'.
To check that, let's change pattern to "a+b*c". This should return
different match for -G, -F and -E.
I also made two small tweaks to the tests. First, I added path "ab" to
all calls to future-proof tests. Second, I updated last two tests to
better show that 'git grep -P -E' is different from 'git grep -E -P'.

When we finish a rebase, our detached HEAD is at the final
result. We update the original branch ref with this result,
and then point the HEAD symbolic ref at the updated branch.
We write a reflog for the branch update, but not for the

Because we're already at the final result on the detached
HEAD, moving to the branch actually doesn't change our
commit sha1 at all. So in that sense, a reflog entry would
be pointless.

3. Using the arrow as a symbolic element, such as "use the

In older versions of git, we used rfc822 header folding to
indicate that the original subject line had multiple lines
in it. But since a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header
lines, 2011-02-23), we now use header folding whenever there
is a long line.
This means that "git am" cannot trust header folding as a
sign from format-patch that newlines should be preserved.
Instead, format-patch needs to signal more explicitly that
the newlines are significant. This patch does so by
rfc2047-encoding the newlines in the subject line. No
changes are needed on the "git am" end; it already decodes
the newlines properly.

clean up calling conventions for pretty.c functions
We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.
Let's clean this up in a few ways:
1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
functions, since we were just passing around the
context values separately.
2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
was passed around separately. That's one less argument
per function.
3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
calling a little more uniform.
This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

Without the "-k" option, mailinfo will convert a folded
subject header like:
Subject: this is a
subject that doesn't
fit on one line
into a single line. With "-k", however, we assumed that
these newlines were significant and represented something
that the sending side would want us to preserve.
For messages created by format-patch, this assumption was
broken by a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header lines,
2011-02-23). For messages sent by arbitrary MUAs, this was
probably never a good assumption to make, as they may have
been folding subjects in accordance with rfc822's line
length recommendations all along.
This patch now joins folded lines with a single whitespace
character. This treats header folding purely as a syntactic
feature of the transport mechanism, not as something that
format-patch is trying to tell us about the original

t: test subject handling in format-patch / am pipeline
Commit a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header lines,
2011-02-23) changed format-patch's behavior with respect to
long header lines, but made no accompanying changes to the
receiving side. It was thought that "git am" would handle
these folded subjects fine, but there is a regression when
using "am -k".
Let's add a test documenting this. While we're at it, let's
give more complete test coverage to document what should be
happening in each case. We test three types of subjects:
a short one, one long enough to require wrapping, and a
multiline subject. For each, we test these three
combinations:
format-patch | am
format-patch -k | am
format-patch -k | am -k
We don't bother testing "format-patch | am -k", which is
nonsense (you will be adding in [PATCH] cruft to each
subject).
This reveals the regression above (long subjects have
linebreaks introduced via "format-patch -k | am -k"),
as well as an existing non-optimal behavior (multiline
subjects are not preserved using "-k").

The read_in_full function repeatedly calls read() to fill a
buffer. If the first read() returns an error, we notify the
caller by returning the error. However, if we read some data
and then get an error on a subsequent read, we simply return
the amount of data that we did read, and the caller is
unaware of the error.
This makes the tradeoff that seeing the partial data is more
important than the fact that an error occurred. In practice,
this is generally not the case; we care more if an error
occurred, and should throw away any partial data.
I audited the current callers. In most cases, this will make
no difference at all, as they do:
if (read_in_full(fd, buf, size) != size)
error("short read");
However, it will help in a few cases:
1. In sha1_file.c:index_stream, we would fail to notice
errors in the incoming stream.
2. When reading symbolic refs in resolve_ref, we would
fail to notice errors and potentially use a truncated
ref name.
3. In various places, we will get much better error
messages. For example, callers of safe_read would
erroneously print "the remote end hung up unexpectedly"
instead of showing the read error.

Commit 13fc2c1 (remote: disallow some nonsensical option
combinations, 2011-03-30) made it impossible to use "remote
add -t foo --mirror". The argument was that specifying
specific branches is useless because:
1. Push mirrors do not want a refspec at all.
2. The point of fetch mirroring is to use a broad refspec
like "refs/*", but using "-t" overrides that.
Point (1) is valid; "-t" with push mirrors is useless. But
point (2) ignored another side effect of using --mirror: it
fetches the refs directly into the refs/ namespace as they
are found upstream, instead of placing them in a
separate-remote layout.
So 13fc2c1 was overly constrictive, and disallowed
reasonable specific-branch mirroring, like:
read_gitfile_gently: use ssize_t to hold read result
Otherwise, a negative error return becomes a very large read
value. We catch this in practice because we compare the
expected and actual numbers of bytes (and you are not likely
to be reading (size_t)-1 bytes), but this makes the
correctness a little more obvious.

* fsck.c (fsck_error_function): Don't test obj->sha1 == 0.
It can never be true, since that sha1 member is an array.
* transport.c (set_upstreams): Likewise for ref->new_sha1.

rerere.c: diagnose a corrupt MERGE_RR when hitting EOF between TAB and '\0'
If we reach EOF after the SHA1-then-TAB, yet before the NUL that
terminates each file name, we would fill the file name buffer with \255
bytes resulting from the repeatedly-failing fgetc (returns EOF/-1) and
ultimately complain about "filename too long", because no NUL was
encountered.
