Since 3b75ee9 ("blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index",
2016-07-16) git blame also looks at the index to determine if there is a
file that was freshly added to the index.
cache_name_pos returns -pos - 1 in case there is no match is found, or
if the name matches, but the entry has a stage other than 0. As git
blame should work for unmerged files, it uses strcmp to determine
whether the name of the returned position matches, in which case the
file exists, but is merely unmerged, or if the file actually doesn't
exist in the index.
If the repository is empty, or if the file would lexicographically be
sorted as the last file in the repository, -cache_name_pos - 1 is
outside of the length of the active_cache array, causing git blame to
segfault. Guard against that, and die() normally to restore the old
behaviour.

The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open
a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then
finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either
removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a
subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the
subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is
made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has
the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag
to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT).

mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes
When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to
said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the
child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work
because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them.
The symptom:
Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed.
Should I try again? (y/n)
Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work
because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx
handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr).
Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g.
git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles.
This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the
O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our
purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on
Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and
map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows.
As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where
the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux
kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL.
This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles
On Windows, a file cannot be removed unless all file handles to it have
been released. Hence it is particularly important to close handles when
spawning children (which would probably not even know that they hold on
to those handles).
The example chosen for this test is a custom merge driver that indeed
has no idea that it blocks the deletion of index.lock. The full use case
is a daemon that lives on after the merge, with subsequent invocations
handing off to the daemon, thereby avoiding hefty start-up costs. We
simulate this behavior by simply sleeping one second.
Note that the test only fails on Windows, due to the file locking issue.
Since we have no way to say "expect failure with MINGW, success
otherwise", we simply skip this test on Windows for now.

Merge branch 'lt/gpg-show-long-key-in-signature-verification-maint' into lt/gpg-show-long-key-in-signature-verification
Linus's original was rebased to apply to the maintenance track just
in case binary distributors that are stuck in the past want to take
it to their older codebase. Let's merge it up to more modern
codebase that has Peff's gpg-interface clean-up topic that appeared
after Git 2.9 was tagged.
* lt/gpg-show-long-key-in-signature-verification-maint:
gpg-interface: prefer "long" key format output when verifying pgp signatures
gpg-interface: prefer "long" key format output when verifying pgp signatures
Yes, gpg2 already uses the long format by default, but most
distributions seem to still have "gpg" be the older 1.x version due to
compatibility reasons. And older versions of gpg only show the 32-bit
short ID, which is quite insecure.
This doesn't actually matter for the _verification_ itself: if the
verification passes, the pgp signature is good. But if you don't
actually have the key yet, and want to fetch it, or you want to check
exactly which key was used for verification and want to check it, we
should specify the key with more precision.
In fact, we should preferentially specify the whole key fingerprint, but
gpg doesn't actually support that. Which is really quite sad.
Showing the "long" format improves things to at least show 64 bits of
the fingerprint. That's a lot better, even if it's not perfect.
This change the log format for "git log --show-signature" from

changes the format in the merge messages when merging a signed

If you already use gpg2 (either because it's installed by default, or
because you have set your gpg_program configuration to point to gpg2),

so there is certainly a chance this could break some automated scripting.
But the 32-bit key ID's really are broken. Also note that because of the
differences between gpg-1.x and gpg-2.x, hopefully any scripted key ID
parsing code (if such code exists) is already flexible enough to not care.
This was triggered by the fact that the "evil32" project keys ended up
leaking to the public key servers, so now there are 32-bit aliases for
just about every open source developer that you can easily get by
mistake if you use the 32-bit short ID format.

t/Makefile: ensure that paths are valid on platforms we care
Some pathnames that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ cannot be checked
out on Windows. Tests that want to see operations on such paths on
filesystems that support them must do so behind appropriate test
prerequisites, and must not include them in the source tree (instead
they should create them when they run). Otherwise, the source tree
cannot even be checked out.
Make sure that double-quotes, asterisk, colon, greater/less-than,
question-mark, backslash, tab, vertical-bar, as well as any non-ASCII
characters never appear in the pathnames with a new test-lint-* target
as part of a `make test`. To that end, we call `git ls-files` (ensuring
that the paths are quoted properly), relying on the fact that paths
containing non-ASCII characters are quoted within double-quotes.
In case that the source code does not actually live in a Git
repository (e.g. when extracted from a .zip file), or that the `git`
executable cannot be executed, we simply ignore the error for now; In
that case, our trusty Continuous Integration will be the last line of
defense and catch any problematic file name.
Noticed when a topic wanted to add a pathname with '>' in it. A

At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the
exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we
don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files
differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the
selected diff utility is not found.
POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for
"command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the
command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash
and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use
"1" for the exit status we want to ignore.
Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that
some form of fatal error occurred.

convert: Correct NNO tests and missing `LF will be replaced by CRLF`
When a non-reversible CRLF conversion is done in "git add",
a warning is printed on stderr (or Git dies, depending on checksafe)
The function commit_chk_wrnNNO() in t0027 was written to test this,
but did the wrong thing: Instead of looking at the warning
from "git add", it looked at the warning from "git commit".
This is racy because "git commit" may not have to do CRLF conversion
at all if it can use the sha1 value from the index (which depends on
whether "add" and "commit" run in a single second).
Correct t0027 and replace the commit for each and every file with a commit
of all files in one go.
The function commit_chk_wrnNNO() should be renamed in a separate commit.
Now that t0027 does the right thing, it detects a bug in covert.c:
This sequence should generate the warning `LF will be replaced by CRLF`,
but does not:
"git add" calls crlf_to_git() in convert.c, which calls check_safe_crlf().
When has_cr_in_index(path) is true, crlf_to_git() returns too early and
check_safe_crlf() is not called at all.
Factor out the code which determines if "git checkout" converts LF->CRLF
into will_convert_lf_to_crlf().
Update the logic around check_safe_crlf() and "simulate" the possible
LF->CRLF conversion at "git checkout" with help of will_convert_lf_to_crlf().

Merge branch 'jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit' into maint
Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal

the same.
* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit:
am: reset cached ident date for each patch
The `rebase` family of Git commands avoid applying patches that were
already integrated upstream. They do that by using the revision walking
option that computes the patch IDs of the two sides of the rebase
(local-only patches vs upstream-only ones) and skipping those local
patches whose patch ID matches one of the upstream ones.
In many cases, this causes unnecessary churn, as already the set of
paths touched by a given commit would suffice to determine that an
upstream patch has no local equivalent.
This hurts performance in particular when there are a lot of upstream
patches, and/or large ones.
Therefore, let's introduce the concept of a "diff-header-only" patch ID,
compare those first, and only evaluate the "full" patch ID lazily.
Please note that in contrast to the "full" patch IDs, those
"diff-header-only" patch IDs are prone to collide with one another, as
adjacent commits frequently touch the very same files. Hence we now
have to be careful to allow multiple hash entries with the same hash.
We accomplish that by using the hashmap_add() function that does not even
test for hash collisions. This also allows us to evaluate the full patch ID
lazily, i.e. only when we found commits with matching diff-header-only
patch IDs.
We add a performance test that demonstrates ~1-6% improvement. In
practice this will depend on various factors such as how many upstream
changes and how big those changes are along with whether file system
caches are cold or warm. As Git's test suite has no way of catching
performance regressions, we also add a regression test that verifies
that the full patch ID computation is skipped when the diff-header-only
computation suffices.
