refs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_ref
When we delete a ref that is packed, we rewrite the whole
packed-refs file and simply omit the ref that no longer
exists. However, we base the rewrite on whatever happens to
be in our refs cache, not what is necessarily on disk. That
opens us up to a race condition if another process is
simultaneously packing the refs, as we will overwrite their
newly-made pack-refs file with our potentially stale data,
losing commits.
# in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd parent &&
while true; do
git pack-refs --all
done
# in another terminal, simultaneously push updates to
# master, and create and delete an unrelated ref
cd child &&
while true; do
git push origin HEAD:newbranch &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo
us=`git rev-parse master` &&
git push origin master &&
git push origin :newbranch &&
them=`git --git-dir=../parent rev-parse master` &&
if test "$them" != "$us"; then
echo >&2 "$them" != "$us"
exit 1
fi
done
In many cases the two processes will conflict over locking
the packed-refs file, and the deletion of newbranch will
simply fail. But eventually you will hit the race, which
happens like this:
1. We push a new commit to master. It is already packed
(from the looping pack-refs call). We write the new
value (let us call it B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master,
but the old value (call it A) remains in the
packed-refs file.
2. We push the deletion of newbranch, spawning a
receive-pack process. Receive-pack advertises all refs
to the client, causing it to iterate over each ref; it
caches the packed refs in memory, which points at the
stale value A.
3. Meanwhile, a separate pack-refs process is running. It
runs to completion, updating the packed-refs file to
point master at B, and deleting $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master
which also pointed at B.
4. Back in the receive-pack process, we get the
instruction to delete :newbranch. We take a lock on
packed-refs (which works, as the other pack-refs
process has already finished). We then rewrite the
contents using the cached refs, which contain the stale
value A.
The resulting packed-refs file points master once again at
A. The loose ref which would override it to point at B was
deleted (rightfully) in step 3. As a result, master now
points at A. The only trace that B ever existed in the
parent is in the reflog: the final entry will show master
moving from A to B, even though the ref still points at A
(so you can detect this race after the fact, because the
next reflog entry will move from A to C).
We can fix this by invalidating the packed-refs cache after
we have taken the lock. This means that we will re-read the
packed-refs file, and since we have the lock, we will be
sure that what we read will be atomically up-to-date when we
write (it may be out of date with respect to loose refs, but
that is OK, as loose refs take precedence).

compat/fnmatch: update old-style definition to ANSI
We try to avoid touching borrowed code, but we encourage people to
write without old-style definition and compile with -Werror these
days, and on platforms that need to use NO_FNMATCH, these three
functions make the compilation fail.
t9020: use configured Python to run the test helper
The test helper svnrdump_sim.py is used as "svnrdump" during the
execution of this test, but the arrangement was not optimal:
- it relied on symbolic links;
- unportable "export VAR=VAL" was used;
- GIT_BUILD_DIR variable was not quoted correctly;
- it assumed that the Python interpreter is in /usr/bin/ and
called "python" (i.e. not "python2.7" etc.)
Rework this by writing a small shell script that spawns the right
Python interpreter, using the right quoting.
These "expect-failure" tests were not looking for the right string
in the patch file. For example:
grep "^ *"S. E. Cipient" <scipient@example.com>\$" patch5
was looking for "^ *S." in these three files:
"E."
"Cipient <scipient@example.com>$"
"patch5"
With some implementations of grep, the lack of file "E." was
reported as an error, leading to the failure of the test.
With other implementations of grep, the pattern "^ *S." matched what
was in patch5, without diagnosing the missing files as an error, and
made these tests unexpectedly pass.
The check_snapshot function makes sure that no cruft outside the
repository hierarchy is added to the tar archive. The output from
"tar tf" on the resulting archive is inspected to see if there is
anything that does not begin with "$prefix/".
There are two issues with this implementation:
- Traditional tar implemenations that do not understand
pax_global_header will write it out as if it is a plain file at
the top-level;
- Some implementations of tar do not add trailing slash when
showing a directory entry (i.e. the output line for the entire
archive will show "$prefix", not "$prefix/").
Fix them so that what we want to validate can be tested with
traditional tar implementations.
On systems without "locale" installed, t0200-gettext-basic.sh leaked
error messages when checking if some test locales are available.
Hide them, as they are not very useful.
xmkstemp(): avoid showing truncated template more carefully
Some implementations of xmkstemp() leaves the given in/out buffer
truncated when they return with failure.
6cf6bb3 (Improve error messages when temporary file creation fails,
2010-12-18) attempted to show the real filename we tried to create
(but failed), and if that is not available due to such truncation,
to show the original template that was given by the caller.
But it failed to take into account that the given template could
have "directory/" in front, in which case the truncation point may
not be template[0] but somewhere else.
As it was not a common operation, it was described as if it is a
side note for the more common two-commit variant, but this mode
behaves very differently, e.g. it does not make any sense to ask
recursive behaviour, or give the command a pathspec.
t7004: do not create unneeded gpghome/gpg.conf when GPG is not used
These tests themselves are properly protected by the GPG
prerequisite, but one of the set-up steps outside the
test_expect_success block unconditionally assumed that there is a
gpghome/ directory, which is not true if GPG is not being used.
It may be a good idea to move the whole set-up steps in the test but
that is a follow-up topic.
The forms of checkout that do not take a path are lumped together in
the DESCRIPTION section, but the description for this group is
dominated by explanation of the -b|-B form.
Split these apart for more clarity.

Documentation: don't link to example mail addresses

cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after generating trees

However, the commit forgets to invalidate all paths leading to i-t-a

see i-t-a entries in the index, because cache-tree does not have them.

README: it does not matter who the current maintainer is
The audience of this introductory document does not have to know nor
interact with the maintainer, so drop the mention of him. Other
documents such as SubmittingPatches may be a more suitable place to
have it.
In remote-test-svn, there is a parse_rev_note function to
parse lines of the form "Revision-number" from notes. If it
finds such a line and parses it, it returns 0, copying the
value into a "struct rev_note". If it finds an entry that is
garbled or out of range, it returns -1 to signal an error.
However, if it does not find any "Revision-number" line at
all, it returns success but does not put anything into the
rev_note. So upon a successful return, the rev_note may or
may not be initialized, and the caller has no way of
knowing.
gcc does not usually catch the use of the unitialized
variable because the conditional assignment happens in a
separate function from the point of use. However, when
compiling with -O3, gcc will inline parse_rev_note and
notice the problem.
We can fix it by returning "-1" when no note is found (so on
a zero return, we always found a valid value).

of a tree that would result by writing the directory covered by the
cache-tree as a tree object.
Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but
the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later
decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to
encode optional information on such invalidated entries without
harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and
how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

1. The original parsed the mailmap file itself, and it did
it wrong (it did not understand entries with an extra
email key).
Instead, this version uses git's "%aE" and "%aN"
formats to have git perform the mapping, meaning we do
not have to read .mailmap at all, but still operate on
the current state that git sees (and it also works
properly from subdirs).
2. The original would find multiple names for an email,
but not the other way around.
This version can do either or both. If we find multiple
emails for a name, the resolution is less obvious than
the other way around. However, it can still be a
starting point for a human to investigate.
3. The original would order only by count, not by recency.
This version can do either. Combined with showing the
counts, it can be easier to decide how to resolve.

For bash completion, the option '-o bashdefault' is used to indicate
that when no other choices are available, file completion should be
performed. Since this option is not available in tcsh, no file
completion is ever performed. Therefore, commands like 'git add ',
'git send-email ', etc, require the user to manually type out
the file name. This can be quite annoying.
To improve the user experience we try to simulate file completion
directly in this script (although not perfectly).
The known issues with the file completion simulation are:
- Possible completions are shown with their directory prefix.
- Completions containing shell variables are not handled.
- Completions with ~ as the first character are not handled.

fetch: ignore wildcarded refspecs that update local symbolic refs
In a repository cloned from somewhere else, you typically have a
symbolic ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD pointing at the 'master'
remote-tracking ref that is next to it. When fetching into such a
repository with "git fetch --mirror" from another repository that
was similarly cloned, the implied wildcard refspec refs/*:refs/*
will end up asking to update refs/remotes/origin/HEAD with the
object at refs/remotes/origin/HEAD at the remote side, while asking
to update refs/remotes/origin/master the same way. Depending on the
order the two updates happen, the latter one would find that the
value of the ref before it is updated has changed from what the code
expects.
When the user asks to update the underlying ref via the symbolic ref
explicitly without using a wildcard refspec, e.g. "git fetch $there
refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/HEAD", we should still let him
do so, but when expanding wildcard refs, it will result in a more
intuitive outcome if we simply ignore local symbolic refs.
As the purpose of the symbolic ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is to
follow the ref it points at (e.g. refs/remotes/origin/master), its
value would change when the underlying ref is updated.
Earlier commit da3efdb (receive-pack: detect aliased updates which
can occur with symrefs, 2010-04-19) fixed a similar issue for "git
push".

sh-setup: work around "unset IFS" bug in some shells
With an unset IFS, field splitting is supposed to act as if IFS is

It is easy to set it to the default value manually, and it is also
safer in case somebody tries to save the old value away and restore,

$oIFS=$IFS
IFS=something
...
IFS=$oIFS
while forgetting that the original IFS might be unset (which can be
coded but would be more involved).
