check-ref-format --print: Normalize refnames that start with slashes

When asked if "refs///heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format says "Yes,
it is well formed", and when asked to print canonical form, it shows
"refs/heads/master". This is so that it can be tucked after "$GIT_DIR/"
to form a valid pathname for a loose ref, and we normalize a pathname like
"$GIT_DIR/refs///heads/master" to de-dup the slashes in it.

Similarly, when asked if "/refs/heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format
says "Yes, it is Ok", but the leading slash is not removed when printing,
leading to "$GIT_DIR//refs/heads/master".

Fix it to make sure such leading slashes are removed. Add tests that such
refnames are accepted and normalized correctly.

git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -FMichael J Gruber Thu, 25 Aug 2011 10:26:37 +0000 (12:26 +0200)

git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -F

The current description of '-C' together with the analogy to 'git commit
-C' can lead to the wrong conclusion that '-C' copies notes between
objects. Make this clearer by rewording and pointing to 'copy'.

The example for attaching binary notes with 'git hash-object' followed
by 'git notes add -C' immediately raises the question: "Why not use 'git
notes add -F'?". Answer it (the latter is not binary-safe).

fast-import: add tests for tagging blobs

fast-import allows to create an annotated tag that annotates a blob,
via mark or direct sha1 specification.

For mark it works, for sha1 it tries to read the object. It tries to
do so via read_sha1_file, and then checks the size to be at least 46.

That's weird, let's just allow to (annotated) tag any object referenced
by sha1. If the object originates from our packfile, we still fail though.

clone: clone from a repository with relative alternatesJunio C Hamano Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:05:16 +0000 (18:05 -0700)

clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates

Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:

- If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.

- An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
repository.

This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

git-p4: Allow filtering Perforce branches by user

All branches in the Perforce server are downloaded to allow branch detection. If
you have a centralized server on a remote location and there is a big number of
branches this operation can take some time.
This patch adds the configuration option git-p4.branchUser to allow filtering
the branch list by user. Although this limits the branch maintenance in Perforce
to be done by a single user, it might be an advantage when the number of
branches being used in a specific depot is very small when compared with the
branches available in the server.

git-p4: Correct branch base depot path detection

When branch detection is enabled each branch is named in git after their
relative depot path in Perforce. To do this the depot paths are compared against
each other to find their common base path. The current algorithm makes this
comparison on a character by character basis.
Assuming we have the following branches:

//depot/branches/featureA
//depot/branches/featureB

Then the base depot path would be //depot/branches/feature, which is an invalid
depot path.

The current patch fixes this by splitting the path into a list and comparing the
list entries, making it choose correctly //depot/branches as the base path.

Prevent force-updating of the current branchConrad Irwin Sat, 20 Aug 2011 21:49:48 +0000 (14:49 -0700)

Prevent force-updating of the current branch

"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch
which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset
normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog
in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it).

"git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this
bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its
task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this
manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD.

"git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with
a fatal error.

Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the
same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from
updating the current branch.

We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message
but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was
actually trying to do.

fast-import: treat cat-blob as a delta base hint for... Dmitry Ivankov Sat, 20 Aug 2011 19:04:12 +0000 (01:04 +0600)

fast-import: treat cat-blob as a delta base hint for next blob

Delta base for blobs is chosen as a previously saved blob. If we
treat cat-blob's blob as a delta base for the next blob, nothing
is likely to become worse.

For fast-import stream producer like svn-fe cat-blob is used like
following:
- svn-fe reads file delta in svn format
- to apply it, svn-fe asks cat-blob 'svn delta base'
- applies 'svn delta' to the response
- produces a blob command to store the result

Currently there is no way for svn-fe to give fast-import a hint on
object delta base. While what's requested in cat-blob is most of
the time a best delta base possible. Of course, it could be not a
good delta base, but we don't know any better one anyway.

So do treat cat-blob's result as a delta base for next blob. The
profit is nice: 2x to 7x reduction in pack size AND 1.2x to 3x
time speedup due to diff_delta being faster on good deltas. git gc
--aggressive can compress it even more, by 10% to 70%, utilizing
more cpu time, real time and 3 cpu cores.

Tested on 213M and 2.7G fast-import streams, resulting packs are 22M
and 113M, import time is 7s and 60s, both streams are produced by
svn-fe, sniffed and then used as raw input for fast-import.

For git-fast-export produced streams there is no change as it doesn't
use cat-blob and doesn't try to reorder blobs in some smart way to
make successive deltas small.

fast-import: count and report # of calls to diff_delta in stats

It's an interesting number, how often do we try to deltify each type of
objects and how often do we succeed. So do add it to stats.

Success doesn't mean much gain in pack size though. As we allow delta to
be as big as (data.len - 20). And delta close to data.len gains nothing
compared to no delta at all even after zlib compression (delta is pretty
much the same as data, just with few modifications).

We should try to make less attempts that result in huge deltas as these
consume more cpu than trivial small deltas. Either by choosing a better
delta base or reducing delta size upper bound or doing less delta attempts
at all.

Currently, delta base for blobs is a waste literally. Each blob delta
base is chosen as a previously stored blob. Disabling deltas for blobs
doesn't increase pack size and reduce import time, or at least doesn't
increase time for all fast-import streams I've tried.

push: Don't push a repository with unpushed submodules

When working with submodules it is easy to forget to push a
submodule to the server but pushing a super-project that
contains a commit for that submodule. The result is that the
superproject points at a submodule commit that is not available
on the server.

This adds the option --recurse-submodules=check to push. When
using this option git will check that all submodule commits that
are about to be pushed are present on a remote of the submodule.

combine-diff: support format_callbackJunio C Hamano Sat, 20 Aug 2011 06:32:51 +0000 (23:32 -0700)

combine-diff: support format_callback

This teaches combine-diff machinery to feed a combined merge to a callback
function when DIFF_FORMAT_CALLBACK is specified.

So far, format callback functions are not used for anything but 2-way
diffs. A callback is given a diff_queue_struct, which is an array of
diff_filepair. As its name suggests, a diff_filepair is a _pair_ of
diff_filespec that represents a single preimage and a single postimage.

Since "diff -c" is to compare N parents with a single merge result and
filter out any paths whose result match one (or more) of the parent(s),
its output has to be able to represent N preimages and 1 postimage. For
this reason, a callback function that inspects a diff_filepair that
results from this new infrastructure can and is expected to view the
preimage side (i.e. pair->one) as an array of diff_filespec. Each element
in the array, except for the last one, is marked with "has_more_entries"
bit, so that the same callback function can be used for 2-way diffs and
combined diffs.

want_color: automatically fallback to color.ui

All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:

1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).

2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
defaults it to off.

This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
simplifying the calling code.

diff: don't load color config in plumbingJeff King Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:05:08 +0000 (22:05 -0700)

diff: don't load color config in plumbing

The diff config callback is split into two functions: one
which loads "ui" config, and one which loads "basic" config.
The former chains to the latter, as the diff UI config is a
superset of the plumbing config.

The color.diff variable is only loaded in the UI config.
However, the basic config actually chains to
git_color_default_config, which loads color.ui. This doesn't
actually cause any bugs, because the plumbing diff code does
not actually look at the value of color.ui.

However, it is somewhat nonsensical, and it makes it
difficult to refactor the color code. It probably came about
because there is no git_color_config to load only color
config, but rather just git_color_default_config, which
loads color config and chains to git_default_config.

This patch splits out the color-specific portion of
git_color_default_config so that the diff UI config can call
it directly. This is perhaps better explained by the
chaining of callbacks. Before we had:

git_diff_ui_config
-> git_diff_basic_config
-> git_color_default_config
-> git_default_config

Now we have:

git_diff_ui_config
-> git_color_config
-> git_diff_basic_config
-> git_default_config

config: refactor get_colorbool function

For "git config --get-colorbool color.foo", we use a custom
callback that looks not only for the key that the user gave
us, but also for "diff.color" (for backwards compatibility)
and "color.ui" (as a fallback).

For the former, we use a custom variable to store the
diff.color value. For the latter, though, we store it in the
main "git_use_color_default" variable, turning on color.ui
for any other parts of git that respect this value.

In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because git-config
runs without caring about git_use_color_default, and then
exits. But it crosses module boundaries in an unusual and
confusing way, and it makes refactoring color handling
harder than it needs to be.

color: delay auto-color decision until point of useJeff King Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:04:23 +0000 (22:04 -0700)

color: delay auto-color decision until point of use

When we read a color value either from a config file or from
the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it
from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no
boolean value.

This has some timing implications with respect to starting
a pager.

If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before
checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1)
will give us the right information, or we will properly
check for pager_in_use().

However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked
the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty,
then we will have already decided to use color. However, the
user may also have configured color.pager not to use color
with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off
color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color
variables were turned on (and there are many of them
throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated
after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on
the command line).

This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after
config and command line options are checked. This has
affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if
user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has
also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log'
early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24).

This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and
actually checking the configuration. The "use_color"
variables now have an additional possible value,
GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new
"want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and
cache the auto-color decision.

mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files

Individual merge tools are now defined in a mergetools/$tool
file which is sourced at runtime.

The individual files are installed into $(git --exec-path)/mergetools/.
New tools can be added by creating a new file instead of editing the
git-mergetool--lib.sh scriptlet.

git_config_colorbool: refactor stdout_is_tty handlingJeff King Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:03:48 +0000 (22:03 -0700)

git_config_colorbool: refactor stdout_is_tty handling

Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout
is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow
git-config to override the auto-detection for its
--get-colorbool option.

Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global
variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and
will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.

diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an intJeff King Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:03:12 +0000 (22:03 -0700)

diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an int

This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.

This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

setup_pager: set GIT_PAGER_IN_USEJeff King Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:02:29 +0000 (22:02 -0700)

setup_pager: set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE

We have always set a global "spawned_pager" variable when we
start the pager. This lets us make the auto-color decision
later in the program as as "we are outputting to a terminal,
or to a pager which can handle colors".

Commit 6e9af86 added support for the GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
environment variable. An external program calling git (e.g.,
git-svn) could set this variable to indicate that it had
already started the pager, and that the decision about
auto-coloring should take that into account.

However, 6e9af86 failed to do the reverse, which is to tell
external programs when git itself has started the pager.
Thus a git command implemented as an external script that
has the pager turned on (e.g., "git -p stash show") would
not realize it was going to a pager, and would suppress
colors.

This patch remedies that; we always set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
when we start the pager, and the value is respected by both
this program and any spawned children.

t7006: use test_config helpersJeff King Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:02:06 +0000 (22:02 -0700)

t7006: use test_config helpers

In some cases, this is just making the test script a little
shorter and easier to read. However, there are several
places where we didn't take proper precautions against
polluting downstream tests with our config; this fixes them,
too.
