t7810: avoid assumption about invalid regex syntax

A few of the tests want to check that "git grep -P -E" will
override -P with -E, and vice versa. To do so, we use a
regex with "\x{..}", which is valid in PCRE but not defined
by POSIX (for basic or extended regular expressions).

However, POSIX declares quite a lot of syntax, including
"\x", as "undefined". That leaves implementations free to
extend the standard if they choose. At least one, musl libc,
implements "\x" in the same way as PCRE. Our tests check
that "-E" complains about "\x", which fails with musl.

We can fix this by finding some construct which behaves
reliably on both PCRE and POSIX, but differently in each
system.

One such construct is the use of backslash inside brackets.
In PCRE, "[\d]" interprets "\d" as it would outside the
brackets, matching a digit. Whereas in POSIX, the backslash
must be treated literally, and we match either it or a
literal "d". Moreover, implementations are not free to
change this according to POSIX, so we should be able to rely
on it.

mergetool: fix running in subdir when rerere enabledRichard Hansen Tue, 10 Jan 2017 20:42:02 +0000 (15:42 -0500)

mergetool: fix running in subdir when rerere enabled

"git mergetool" (without any pathspec on the command line) that is
not run from the top-level of the working tree no longer works in
Git v2.11, failing to get the list of unmerged paths from the output
of "git rerere remaining". This regression was introduced by
57937f70a0 ("mergetool: honor diff.orderFile", 2016-10-07).

This is because the pathnames output by the 'git rerere remaining'
command are relative to the top-level directory but the 'git diff
--name-only' command expects its pathname arguments to be relative
to the current working directory. To make everything consistent,
cd_to_toplevel before running 'git diff --name-only' and adjust any
relative pathnames.

ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' option

Currently when we use the 'lstrip=<N>' option, if 'N' is greater than
the number of components available in the refname, we abruptly end
program execution by calling die().

This behavior is undesired since a single refname with few components
could end program execution. To avoid this, return an empty string
whenever the value 'N' is greater than the number of components
available, instead of calling die().

pathspec: give better message for submodule related... Stefan Beller Mon, 9 Jan 2017 23:16:50 +0000 (15:16 -0800)

pathspec: give better message for submodule related pathspec error

Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have
run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing
list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem
stating it is known.

This patch accomplishes two things:

1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message.

2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal
"there was something wrong with the input" message.

This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming
bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a
pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or
die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus.

The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature
of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due
to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user
wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before
dying with a more generic error message.

Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call
strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to
trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set,
such that we executed

if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen)
item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen;

and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/")
So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths,
that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This
is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly
different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.

needs to learn the trick to update the branch before removing the

To that end, let's move that test out of the function that parses the

has no idea whether we are performing an interactive rebase or not.

sequencer (rebase -i): add support for the 'fixup' and 'squash' commands

This is a huge patch, and at the same time a huge step forward to
execute the performance-critical parts of the interactive rebase in a
builtin command.

Since 'fixup' and 'squash' are not only similar, but also need to know
about each other (we want to reduce a series of fixups/squashes into a
single, final commit message edit, from the user's point of view), we
really have to implement them both at the same time.

Most of the actual work is done by the existing code path that already
handles the "pick" and the "edit" commands; We added support for other
features (e.g. to amend the commit message) in the patches leading up to
this one, yet there are still quite a few bits in this patch that simply
would not make sense as individual patches (such as: determining whether
there was anything to "fix up" in the "todo" script, etc).

In theory, it would be possible to reuse the fast-forward code path also
for the fixup and the squash code paths, but in practice this would make
the code less readable. The end result cannot be fast-forwarded anyway,
therefore let's just extend the cherry-picking code path for now.

Since the sequencer parses the entire `git-rebase-todo` script in one go,
fixup or squash commands without a preceding pick can be reported early
(in git-rebase--interactive, we could only report such errors just before
executing the fixup/squash).

that end, this patch requires the earlier work that taught the

determine whether a command is pick-like, i.e. handles a single commit),

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal deathJeff King Sat, 7 Jan 2017 01:22:23 +0000 (20:22 -0500)

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death

When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager,
this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed
external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and
quits (but only after eating one more character from the
terminal!). This fixes it.

Explaining the reason will require a little background.

When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to
hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it
has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the
pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session
leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish
its current read from the terminal (eating the one
character), and then get EIO trying to read again.

When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager,
and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the
git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We
addressed that long ago in a3da882120 (pager: do
wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22).

But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to
a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's
an extra process in the mix. For instance, running:

$ git -c alias.l=log l

will end up with a process tree like:

git (parent)
\
git-log (child)
\
less (pager)

If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores
it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager().
But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO
trouble happens.

So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(),
but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at
all, since it was started by the child. However, we can
have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting
on the pager. And that's what this patch does.

There are a few design decisions here worth explaining:

1. The new feature is attached to run-command's
clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience,
since that feature already has a signal handler that
deals with child cleanup.

But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason
that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the
two processes together. If somebody kills the parent
with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this
instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't
matter because the original signal went to the whole
process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent
to go away until the child has done so.

In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish
this binding by just having the parent execve() the
child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows,
everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like
interface.

2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any
clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes
sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but
waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other
children, it's possible that the child, after getting
the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do
something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to
wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So
this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers
enable the feature explicitly.

3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all
the signals first, before waiting on any children. This
is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting
on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform
all of them that it's time to die before reaping any.

In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run
from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now.
But it future-proofs us if other callers start using
the wait_after_clean mechanism.

There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy
and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by
running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

execv_dashed_external: stop exiting with negative code

When we try to exec a git sub-command, we pass along the
status code from run_command(). But that may return -1 if we
ran into an error with pipe() or execve(). This tends to
work (and end up as 255 due to twos-complement wraparound
and truncation), but in general it's probably a good idea to
avoid negative exit codes for portability.

We can easily translate to the normal generic "128" code we
get when syscalls cause us to die.

execv_dashed_external: use child_process struct

When we run a dashed external, we use the one-liner
run_command_v_opt() to do so. Let's switch to using a
child_process struct, which has two advantages:

1. We can drop all of the allocation and cleanup code for
building our custom argv array, and just rely on the
builtin argv_array (at the minor cost of doing a few
extra mallocs).

2. We have access to the complete range of child_process
options, not just the ones that the "_opt()" form can
forward.

The result of getenv() is not guaranteed by POSIX to last

We already keep a cached pointer to avoid repeatedly leaking

of the time, instead always make a copy of the original and take
ownership of the memory.

Since both 'match' and 'original' string entries in a pathspec_item are
owned by the pathspec struct, they need to be freed when clearing the
pathspec struct (in 'clear_pathspec()') and duplicated when copying the
pathspec struct (in 'copy_pathspec()').

Also change the type of 'match' and 'original' to 'char *' in order to
more explicitly show the ownership of the memory.
