Update sha1dc from the latest version by the upstream
maintainer[1].
See commit a0103914c2 ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-05-20) for
the latest update. That update was done sans some whitespace changes
by upstream, which is why the diff here isn't the same as the upstream cc46554..e139984.
It also brings in a change[2] upstream made which should hopefully
address the breakage in 2.13.1 on Cygwin, see [3]. Cygwin defines both
_BIG_ENDIAN and _LITTLE_ENDIAN.
Adam Dinwoodie reports on the mailing list that that upstream commit
fixes the issue on Cygwin[4].
The upstream sha1dc code indents some lines with spaces.
While this doesn't match Git's coding guidelines, it's better
to leave this imported code untouched than to try to make it
match our style. However, we can use .gitattributes to tell
"diff --check" and "git am" not to bother us about it.

C style: use standard style for "TRANSLATORS" comments
Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.
This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).
GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].
Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that
young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be
using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person
who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can
make an exception.
This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git
mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we
never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so.
There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard
comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly
without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would
happen before xgettext 0.19.
Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive",
2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n:
git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked
up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang
already runs a modern xgettext.
The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment
style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard
Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make
pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct:
#. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or
-#. * "rebase -i".
+#. "rebase -i".
If the user provides "-h" on the command line, then our
parse_options() invocation will show a usage message and
quit. But if "-h" is the only argument, the git wrapper
behaves specially: it ignores our RUN_SETUP flag and calls
cmd_am() without having done repository setup at all. This
is due to 99caeed05 (Let 'git <command> -h' show usage
without a git dir, 2009-11-09).
Before cmd_am() calls parse_options(), though, it runs a few
other setup functions. One of these is am_state_init(),
which uses git_pathdup() to set up the default rebase-apply
path. But calling git_pathdup() when we haven't done
repository setup will fall back to using ".git". That's
mostly harmless (since we won't use the value anyway), but
is forbidden since b1ef400eec ("setup_git_env: avoid blind
fall-back to ".git"", 2016-10-20), and we now BUG().
We can't easily move that setup to after the parse_options()
call; the point is to set up defaults that are overwritten
by the option parsing. Instead, we'll detect the "-h" case
early and show the usage then. This matches the behavior of
other builtins which have a similar setup-ordering issue
(e.g., git-branch).

Windows: do not treat a path with backslashes as a remote's nick name
On Windows, the remote repository name in, e.g., `git fetch foo\bar`
is clearly not a nickname for a configured remote repository. However,
the function valid_remote_nick() does not account for backslashes.
Use is_dir_sep() to check for both slashes and backslashes on Windows.
This was discovered while playing with Duy's patches that warn after
fopen() failures. The functions that read the branches and remotes
files are protected by a valid_remote_nick() check. Without this
change, a Windows style absolute path is incorrectly regarded as
nickname and is concatenated to a prefix and used with fopen(). This
triggers warnings because a colon in a path name is not allowed:

This means that the code customizations done since the initial import

ref-filter: resolve HEAD when parsing %(HEAD) atom
If the user asks to display (or sort by) the %(HEAD) atom,
ref-filter has to compare each refname to the value of HEAD.
We do so by resolving HEAD fresh when calling populate_value()
on each ref. If there are a large number of refs, this can
have a measurable impact on runtime.
Instead, let's resolve HEAD once when we realize we need the
%(HEAD) atom, allowing us to do a simple string comparison
for each ref. On a repository with 3000 branches (high, but
an actual example found in the wild) this drops the
best-of-five time to run "git branch >/dev/null" from 59ms

If a commit message is edited with the "verbose" option, the buffer

"git interpret-trailers" is unaware of the cut line, and assumes the
trailer block would be at the end of the whole thing. This can easily
be seen with:
Teach "git interpret-trailers" to notice the cut-line and ignore the
remainder of the input when looking for a place to add new trailer
block. This makes it consistent with how "git commit -v -s" inserts a
new Signed-off-by: line.
This can be done by the same logic as the existing helper function,
wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line(), uses, but it wants the caller
to pass a strbuf to it. Because the function ignore_non_trailer() used
by the command takes a <pointer, length> pair, not a strbuf, steal the
logic from wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line() to create a new
wt_status_locate_end() helper function that takes <pointer, length>
pair, and make ignore_non_trailer() call it to help "interpret-trailers".
Since there is only one caller of wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line()
in cmd_commit(), rewrite it to call wt_status_locate_end() helper instead
and remove the old helper that no longer has any caller.

One test in t5400 examines the packet exchange between git-push and
git-receive-pack. The latter inherits the GIT_TRACE_PACKET environment
variable, so that both processes dump trace data into the same file
concurrently. This should not be a problem because the trace file is
opened with O_APPEND.
On Windows, however, O_APPEND is not atomic as it should be: it is
emulated as lseek(SEEK_END) followed by write(). For this reason, the
test is unreliable: it can happen that one process overwrites a line
that was just written by the other process. As a consequence, the test
sometimes does not find one or another line that is expected (and it is
also successful occasionally).
The test case is actually only interested in the output of git-push.
To ensure that only git-push writes to the trace file, override the
receive-pack command such that it does not even open the trace file.

The recent change that introduced autodecorating of refs accidentally
broke the ability of users to set log.decorate = false to override it.
When the git_log_config was traversed a second time with an option other
than log.decorate, the decoration style would be set to the automatic
style, even if the user had already overridden it. Instead of setting
the option in config parsing, set it in init_log_defaults instead.
Add a test for this case. The actual additional config option doesn't
matter, but it needs to be something not already set in the
configuration file.

config: complain about --local outside of a git repo
The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify
the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if
you're not actually in a repository.
Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write
".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet
failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no
matching config value). Writing would generally fail
noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git",
2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and
die with an assertion.
Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the
problem early and give a more human-friendly error message.
Note that even without --local, git-config will sometimes
default to using local repository config (e.g., when
writing). These cases are already protected by similar
checks, and covered by a test in t1308.

Converting to BUG() makes it easier to detect and debug
cases where we hit this assertion. Coupled with a new test

There's a convention in Git's code base to write assertions
as:
if (...some_bad_thing...)
die("BUG: the terrible thing happened");
with the idea that users should never see a "BUG:" message
(but if they, it at least gives a clue what happened). We
use die() here because it's convenient, but there are a few
draw-backs:
1. Without parsing the messages, it's hard for callers to
distinguish BUG assertions from regular errors.
For instance, it would be nice if the test suite could
check that we don't hit any assertions, but
test_must_fail will pass BUG deaths as OK.
2. It would be useful to add more debugging features to
BUG assertions, like file/line numbers or dumping core.
3. The die() handler can be replaced, and might not
actually exit the whole program (e.g., it may just
pthread_exit()). This is convenient for normal errors,
but for an assertion failure (which is supposed to
never happen), we're probably better off taking down
the whole process as quickly and cleanly as possible.
We could address these by checking in die() whether the
error message starts with "BUG", and behaving appropriately.
But there's little advantage at that point to sharing the
die() code, and only downsides (e.g., we can't change the
BUG() interface independently). Moreover, converting all of
the existing BUG calls reveals that the test suite does
indeed trigger a few of them.
Instead, this patch introduces a new BUG() function, which
prints an error before dying via SIGABRT. This gives us test
suite checking and core dumps. The function is actually a
macro (when supported) so that we can show the file/line
number.
We can convert die("BUG") invocations to BUG() in further
patches, dealing with any test fallouts individually.

read-tree -m: make error message for merging 0 trees less smart aleck
"git read-tree -m" requires a tree argument to name the tree to be
merged in. Git uses a cutesy error message to say so and why:
$ git read-tree -m
warning: read-tree: emptying the index with no arguments is
deprecated; use --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
$ git read-tree -m --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
When lucky, that could produce an ah-hah moment for the user, but it's
more likely to irritate and distract them.
Instead, tell the user plainly that the tree argument is
required. Also document this requirement in the git-read-tree(1)
manpage where there is room to explain it in a more straightforward way.

usability: don't ask questions if no reply is required
There has been a bug report by a corporate user that stated that
"spelling mistake of stash followed by a yes prints character 'y'
infinite times."
This analysis was false. When the spelling of a command contains
errors, the git program tries to help the user by providing candidates
which are close to the unexisting command. E.g Git prints the
following:
git: 'stahs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean this?
stash
and then exits.
The problem with this hint is that it is not formally indicated as an
hint and the user is in fact encouraged to reply to the question,
whereas the Git command is already finished.
The user was unlucky enough that it was the command he was looking
for, and replied "yes" on the command line, effectively launching the
`yes` program.
The initial error is that the Git programs, when launched in
command-line mode (without interaction) must not ask questions,
because these questions would normally require a user input as a reply
that they won't handle indeed. That's a source of confusion on UX
level.
To improve the general usability of the Git suite, the following rule
was applied:
if the sentence
* appears in a non-interactive session
* is printed last before exit
* is a question addressing the user ("you")
the sentence is turned into affirmative and proposes the option.
The basic rewording of the question sentences has been extended to
other spots found in the source.

travis-ci: add job to run tests with GETTEXT_POISON
Add a job to run Git tests with GETTEXT_POISON. In this job we don't run
the git-p4, git-svn, and HTTPD tests to save resources/time (those tests
are already executed in other jobs). Since we don't run these tests, we

wanted to make use of the cache had to run this step.
The "prove cache" is only used in the "script" step for the
"make test" command. Therefore, we should configure the "prove cache"
in this step.

not need the "before_install" step but wants to run the "script" step to

tests: fix tests broken under GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease
The GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time testing option added in my bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly
translator", 2011-02-22) has been slowly bitrotting as strings have
been marked for translation, and new tests have been added without

I brought this up on the list ("[BUG] test suite broken with
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease", [1]) asking whether this mode was useful at
all anymore. At least one person occasionally uses it, and Lars
Schneider offered to change one of the the Travis builds to run in

My test setup runs most of the tests, with the notable exception of
skipping all the p4 tests, so it's possible that there's still some

read-tree: "read-tree -m --empty" does not make sense
fb1bb965 ("read-tree: deprecate syntax without tree-ish args",
2010-09-10) wanted to deprecate "git read-tree" without any tree,
which used to be the way to empty the index, and encourage use of
"git read-tree --empty" instead.
However, when used with "-m", "--empty" does not make any sense,
either, simply because merging 0 trees will result in a different
error anyway.
Omit the deprecation warning and let the code to emit real error
message diagnose the error.
The purpose of t0027 is to test all CRLF related conversions at "git
checkout" and "git add". Running t0027 under Git for Windows takes
3-4 minutes, so the whole script had been marked as "EXPENSIVE".
However, the "Git for Windows" fork overrides this since 2014:
"t0027 is marked expensive, but really, for MinGW we want to run
these tests always."
The test seems not to be expensive on other platforms at all: it
takes less than 14 seconds under Linux, and 63 seconds under Mac Os
X, and this is more or less the same with a SSD or a spinning disk.
So let's drop the "EXPENSIVE" prereq.
While at it, retire t0025; recent "stress" tests show that t0025 is
flaky, reported by Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>, but
all tests in t0025 are covered by t0027 already.

t4051: mark supporting files as requiring LF-only line endings
The test t4051-diff-function-context.sh passes on Linux when
core.autocrlf=true even without marking its support files as LF-only,
but they fail when core.autocrlf=true in Git for Windows' SDK.
The reason is that `grep ... >file.c.new` will keep CR/LF line endings
on Linux (obviously treating CRs as if they were regular characters),
but will be converted to LF-only line endings with MSYS2's grep that is
used in Git for Windows.
As we do not want to validate the way the available `grep` works, let's
just mark the input as LF-only and move on.

Fix the remaining tests that failed with core.autocrlf=true
The test suite is mainly developed on Linux and MacOSX, which is the
reason that nobody thought to mark files as LF-only as needed.
The symptom is a test suite that fails left and right when being checked
out using Git for Windows (which defaults to core.autocrlf=true).
Mostly, the problems stem from Git's (LF-only) output being compared to
hard-coded files that are checked out with line endings according to
core.autocrlf (which is of course incorrect). This includes the two test
files in t/diff-lib/, README and COPYING.
This patch can be validated even on Linux by using this cadence:
git config core.autocrlf true
rm .git/index && git stash

On Windows, the default line endings are denoted by a Carriage Return
byte followed by a Line Feed byte, while Linux and MacOSX use a single
Line Feed byte to denote a line ending.
To help with this situation, Git introduced several mechanisms over the
last decade, most prominently the `core.autocrlf` setting.
Sometimes, however, a single setting is incorrect, e.g. when certain
files in the source code are to be consumed by software that can handle
only LF line endings, while other files can use whatever is appropriate
for the current platform.
To allow for that, Git added the `eol` option to its .gitattributes
handling, expecting every user of Git to mark their source code
appropriately.
Bash assumes that line-endings of scripts are denoted by a single Line
Feed byte. Therefore, shell scripts in Git's source code are one example
where that `eol=lf` option is *required*.
When generating common-cmds.h, the Unix tools we use generally operate on
the assumption that input and output deliminate their lines using LF-only
line endings. Consequently, they would happily copy the CR byte verbatim
into the strings in common-cmds.h, which in turn makes the C preprocessor
barf (that interprets them as MacOS-style line endings). Therefore, we
have to mark the input files as LF-only: command-list.txt and
Documentation/git-*.txt.
Quite a bit belatedly, this patch brings Git's own source code in line
with those expectations by setting those attributes to allow for a
correct build even when core.autocrlf=true.
This patch can be validated even on Linux, by using this cadence:
