When peeling a tag for prepare_revision_walk(), we do not

The shell version of rebase -i silences the status output from 'git
stash apply' when restoring the autostashed changes. The C version
does not.
Having the output from git stash apply on the screen is
distracting as it makes it difficult to find the message from git
rebase saying that the rebase succeeded. Also the status information
that git stash prints talks about looking in .git/rebase-merge/done to
see which commits have been applied. As .git/rebase-merge is removed
shortly after the message is printed before rebase -i exits this is

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
to 48ms (~20% savings).

"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.

t5545: enhance test coverage when no http server is installed
In commit 438fc68462 ("push options: pass push options to the transport

if you lack a http server. Move the http initialization to the end,
such that only http tests are skipped when a http server is missing.
The test in between that tests submodule propagation is safe to run before
the http tests as it makes its own test directories `parent` and
`parent_upstream`.

Because TAP output does not like to see the remainder of the test
getting skipped after running one or more tests, bf4b7219
("test-lib.sh: Add check for invalid use of 'skip_all' facility",

Instead, loosen the check so that we only pretend that the rest of
the test script did not exist in such a case. We'd lose a bit of
information (i.e. TAP does not notice that we are skipping some
tests), but not very much (i.e. TAP wasn't told how many tests are
skipped anyway).
This will allow inclusion of lib-httpd.sh in the middle of a test,

that SHA-1.

(vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles, 2015-08-11) so
that run-command could send post-fork, pre-exec errors to
the parent's original stderr.
That use went away in 79319b194 (run-command: eliminate
calls to error handling functions in child, 2017-04-19),
which pushes all of the error reporting to the parent.
This leaves no callers of set_error_handle(). As we're not
likely to add any new ones, let's drop it.

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
in t1300, this shows that the test suite can detect such
corner cases.

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.

git-filter-branch: be more direct in an error message
git-filter-branch requires the specification of a branch by one way or
another. If no branch appears to have been specified, we know the user
got the usage wrong but we don't know what they were trying to do ---
e.g. maybe they specified the ref to rewrite but in the wrong place.
In this case, just state that the branch specification is missing.

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.

Since (ae8d08242 pathspec: pass directory indicator to
match_pathspec_item()) the path matching logic has been able to cope
with submodules without needing to strip off a trailing slash if a path
refers to a submodule.
Since stripping the slash is no longer necessary, remove the
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_CHEAP flag.

ls-files: prevent prune_cache from overeagerly pruning submodules
Since (ae8d08242 pathspec: pass directory indicator to
match_pathspec_item()) the path matching logic has been able to cope
with submodules without needing to strip off a trailing slash if a path
refers to a submodule.
ls-files is the only caller of 'parse_pathspec()' which relies on the
behavior of the PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_CHEAP flag because it
uses the result to construct a common prefix of all provided pathspecs
which is then used to prune the index of all entries which don't have
that prefix. Since submodules entries in the index don't have a
trailing slash 'prune_cache()' will be overeager and prune a submodule
'sub' if the common prefix is 'sub/'. To correct this behavior, only
prune entries which don't match up to, but not including, a trailing
slash of the common prefix.
This is in preparation to remove the
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_CHEAP flag in a later patch.
