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

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

If you already use gpg2 (either because it's installed by default, or

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.

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().
Thanks to Jeff King <peff@peff.net> for analyzing t0027.

Merge branch 'jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit' into maint

* 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.

Another way to fix this is to remove the `=` sign after the

submodule--helper: use parallel processor correctly
When developing another patch series I had a temporary state in
which git-clone would segfault, when the call was prepared in
prepare_to_clone_next_submodule. This lead to the call failing,
i.e. in `update_clone_task_finished` the task was scheduled to be
tried again. The second call to prepare_to_clone_next_submodule
would return 0, as the segfaulted clone did create the .git file
already, such that was not considered to need to be cloned again. I
was seeing the "BUG: ce was a submodule before?\n" message, which
was the correct behavior at the time as my local code was
buggy. When trying to debug this failure, I tried to use printing
messages into the strbuf that is passed around, but these messages
were never printed as the die(..) doesn't flush the `err` strbuf.
When implementing the die() in 665b35ecc (2016-06-09, "submodule--helper:
initial clone learns retry logic"), I considered this condition to be
a severe condition, which should lead to an immediate abort as we do not
trust ourselves any more. However the queued messages in `err` are valuable
so let's not toss them out by immediately dying, but a graceful return.
Another thing to note: The error message itself was misleading. A return
value of 0 doesn't indicate the passed in `ce` is not a submodule any more,
but just that we do not consider cloning it any more.
