git-p4: fix skipSubmitEdit regression

Commit 7c766e5 (git-p4: introduce skipSubmitEdit, 2011-12-04)
made it easier to automate submission to p4, but broke the most
common case.

Add a test for when the user really does edit and save the change
template, and fix the bug that causes the test to fail.

Also add a confirmation message when submission is cancelled.

t: add test harness for external credential helpers

We already have tests for the internal helpers, but it's
nice to give authors of external tools an easy way to
sanity-check their helpers.

If you have written the "git-credential-foo" helper, you can
do so with:

GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=foo \
make t0303-credential-external.sh

This assumes that your helper is capable of both storing and
retrieving credentials (some helpers may be read-only, and
they will fail these tests).

If your helper supports time-based expiration with a
configurable timeout, you can test that feature like this:

GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT="foo --timeout=1" \
make t0303-credential-external.sh

credentials: add "store" helper

This is like "cache", except that we actually put the
credentials on disk. This can be terribly insecure, of
course, but we do what we can to protect them by filesystem
permissions, and we warn the user in the documentation.

This is not unlike using .netrc to store entries, but it's a
little more user-friendly. Instead of putting credentials in
place ahead of time, we transparently store them after
prompting the user for them once.

credentials: add "cache" helper

If you access repositories over smart-http using http
authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you
for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in
memory, of course, but git is composed of many small
programs. Having to input your password for each one can be
frustrating.

This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache
passwords in memory for a short period of time.

credential: make relevance of http path configurableJeff King Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:31:34 +0000 (05:31 -0500)

credential: make relevance of http path configurable

When parsing a URL into a credential struct, we carefully
record each part of the URL, including the path on the
remote host, and use the result as part of the credential
context.

This had two practical implications:

1. Credential helpers which store a credential for later
access are likely to use the "path" portion as part of
the storage key. That means that a request to

https://example.com/foo.git

would not use the same credential that was stored in an
earlier request for:

https://example.com/bar.git

2. The prompt shown to the user includes all relevant
context, including the path.

In most cases, however, users will have a single password
per host. The behavior in (1) will be inconvenient, and the
prompt in (2) will be overly long.

This patch introduces a config option to toggle the
relevance of http paths. When turned on, we use the path as
before. When turned off, we drop the path component from the
context: helpers don't see it, and it does not appear in the
prompt.

This is nothing you couldn't do with a clever credential
helper at the start of your stack, like:

[credential "http://"]
helper = "!f() { grep -v ^path= ; }; f"
helper = your_real_helper

But doing this:

[credential]
useHttpPath = false

is way easier and more readable. Furthermore, since most
users will want the "off" behavior, that is the new default.
Users who want it "on" can set the variable (either for all
credentials, or just for a subset using
credential.*.useHttpPath).

credential: add credential.*.username

Credential helpers can help users avoid having to type their
username and password over and over. However, some users may
not want a helper for their password, or they may be running
a helper which caches for a short time. In this case, it is
convenient to provide the non-secret username portion of
their credential via config.

credential: apply helper configJeff King Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:31:24 +0000 (05:31 -0500)

credential: apply helper config

The functionality for credential storage helpers is already
there; we just need to give the users a way to turn it on.
This patch provides a "credential.helper" configuration
variable which allows the user to provide one or more helper
strings.

Rather than simply matching credential.helper, we will also
compare URLs in subsection headings to the current context.
This means you can apply configuration to a subset of
credentials. For example:

[credential "https://example.com"]
helper = foo

would match a request for "https://example.com/foo.git", but
not one for "https://kernel.org/foo.git".

This is overkill for the "helper" variable, since users are
unlikely to want different helpers for different sites (and
since helpers run arbitrary code, they could do the matching
themselves anyway).

However, future patches will add new config variables where
this extra feature will be more useful.

http: use credential API to get passwordsJeff King Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:31:21 +0000 (05:31 -0500)

http: use credential API to get passwords

This patch converts the http code to use the new credential
API, both for http authentication as well as for getting
certificate passwords.

Most of the code change is simply variable naming (the
passwords are now contained inside the credential struct)
or deletion of obsolete code (the credential code handles
URL parsing and prompting for us).

The behavior should be the same, with one exception: the
credential code will prompt with a description based on the
credential components. Therefore, the old prompt of:

Username for 'example.com':
Password for 'example.com':

now looks like:

Username for 'https://example.com/repo.git':
Password for 'https://user@example.com/repo.git':

Note that we include more information in each line,
specifically:

1. We now include the protocol. While more noisy, this is
an important part of knowing what you are accessing
(especially if you care about http vs https).

2. We include the username in the password prompt. This is
not a big deal when you have just been prompted for it,
but the username may also come from the remote's URL
(and after future patches, from configuration or
credential helpers). In that case, it's a nice
reminder of the user for which you're giving the
password.

3. We include the path component of the URL. In many
cases, the user won't care about this and it's simply
noise (i.e., they'll use the same credential for a
whole site). However, that is part of a larger
question, which is whether path components should be
part of credential context, both for prompting and for
lookup by storage helpers. That issue will be addressed
as a whole in a future patch.

Similarly, for unlocking certificates, we used to say:

Certificate Password for 'example.com':

and we now say:

Password for 'cert:///path/to/certificate':

Showing the path to the client certificate makes more sense,
as that is what you are unlocking, not "example.com".

credential: add function for parsing url componentsJeff King Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:31:17 +0000 (05:31 -0500)

credential: add function for parsing url components

All of the components of a credential struct can be found in
a URL. For example, the URL:

http://foo:bar@example.com/repo.git

contains:

protocol=http
host=example.com
path=repo.git
username=foo
password=bar

We want to be able to turn URLs into broken-down credential
structs so that we know two things:

1. Which parts of the username/password we still need

2. What the context of the request is (for prompting or
as a key for storing credentials).

This code is based on http_auth_init in http.c, but needed a
few modifications in order to get all of the components that
the credential object is interested in.

Once the http code is switched over to the credential API,
then http_auth_init can just go away.

introduce credentials APIJeff King Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:31:11 +0000 (05:31 -0500)

introduce credentials API

There are a few places in git that need to get a username
and password credential from the user; the most notable one
is HTTP authentication for smart-http pushing.

Right now the only choices for providing credentials are to
put them plaintext into your ~/.netrc, or to have git prompt
you (either on the terminal or via an askpass program). The
former is not very secure, and the latter is not very
convenient.

Unfortunately, there is no "always best" solution for
password management. The details will depend on the tradeoff
you want between security and convenience, as well as how
git can integrate with other security systems (e.g., many
operating systems provide a keychain or password wallet for
single sign-on).

This patch provides an abstract notion of credentials as a
data item, and provides three basic operations:

- fill (i.e., acquire from external storage or from the
user)

- approve (mark a credential as "working" for further
storage)

- reject (mark a credential as "not working", so it can
be removed from storage)

These operations can be backed by external helper processes
that interact with system- or user-specific secure storage.

test-lib: add test_config_global variant

The point of test_config is to simultaneously set a config
variable and register its cleanup handler, like:

test_config core.foo bar

However, it stupidly assumes that $1 contained the name of
the variable, which means it won't work for:

test_config --global core.foo bar

We could try to parse the command-line ourselves and figure
out which parts need to be fed to test_unconfig. But since
this is likely the most common variant, it's much simpler
and less error-prone to simply add a new function.

git-p4: use absolute directory for PWD env var

P4 only looks at the environment variable $PWD to figure out
where it is, so chdir() has code to set that every time. But
when the clone --destination is not an absolute path, PWD will
not be absolute and P4 won't be able to find any files expected
to be in the current directory. Fix this by expanding PWD to
an absolute path.

One place this crops up is when using a P4CONFIG environment
variable to specify P4 parameters, such as P4USER or P4PORT.
Setting P4CONFIG=.p4config works for p4 invocations from the
current directory. But if the value of PWD is not absolute, it
fails.

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide failures

it, clean up the style to fit the prevailing style. This means:

- Put the opening quote starting each test on the same line as the

- Indent the file with tabs, not spaces.

- Use test_expect_code() in preference to checking the exit status of
various statements by hand.

- Guard commands that prepare test input for individual tests in the
same test_expect_success, so that their scope is clearer and errors
at that stage can be caught.

- Use <<-\EOF in preference to <<EOF to save readers the trouble of
looking for variable interpolations.

- Include "setup" in the titles of test assertions that prepare for
later ones to make it more obvious which tests can be skipped.

The rev-list output in this test depends on the details of test_tick's

order and nature of commits made in the earlier tests, so adding new
tests or rearranging existing ones breaks it.

commit: write cache-tree data when writing index anyway

In prepare_index(), we refresh the index, and then write it to disk if
this changed the index data. After running hooks we re-read the index
and compute the root tree sha1 with the cache-tree machinery.

This gives us a mostly free opportunity to write up-to-date cache-tree
data: we can compute it in prepare_index() immediately before writing
the index to disk.

If we do this, we were going to write the index anyway, and the later
cache-tree update has no further work to do. If we don't do it, we
don't do any extra work, though we still don't have have cache-tree
data after the commit.

The only case that suffers badly is when the pre-commit hook changes
many trees in the index. I'm writing this off as highly unusual.

Refactor cache_tree_update idiom from commit

We'll need to safely create or update the cache-tree data of the_index
from other places. While at it, give it an argument that lets us
silence the messages produced by unmerged entries (which prevent it
from working).

Test the current state of the cache-tree optimizationThomas Rast Tue, 6 Dec 2011 17:43:36 +0000 (18:43 +0100)

Test the current state of the cache-tree optimization

The cache-tree optimization originally helped speed up write-tree
operation. However, many commands no longer properly maintain -- or
use an opportunity to cheaply generate -- the cache-tree data. In
particular, this affects commit, checkout and reset. The notable
examples that *do* write cache-tree data are read-tree and write-tree.

This sadly means most people no longer benefit from the optimization,
as they would not normally use the plumbing commands.

Document the current state of affairs in a test file, in preparation
for improvements in the area.

Add test-scrap-cache-treeThomas Rast Tue, 6 Dec 2011 17:43:35 +0000 (18:43 +0100)

Add test-scrap-cache-tree

A simple utility that invalidates all existing cache-tree data. We
need this for tests. (We don't need a tool to rebuild the cache-tree
data; git read-tree HEAD works for that.)

userdiff: allow * between cpp funcname wordsThomas Rast Tue, 6 Dec 2011 16:35:08 +0000 (17:35 +0100)

userdiff: allow * between cpp funcname words

The cpp pattern, used for C and C++, would not match the start of a
declaration such as

static char *prepare_index(int argc,

because it did not allow for * anywhere between the various words that
constitute the modifiers, type and function name. Fix it.

Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer useNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:22:15 +0000 (17:22 +0700)

Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer use

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.

The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()

branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);

Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

lookup_commit_or_die
lookup_commit_reference
lookup_commit_reference_gently
parse_object
lookup_replace_object
do_lookup_replace_object
prepare_replace_object
for_each_replace_ref
do_for_each_ref
get_loose_refs
get_ref_dir
get_ref_dir
resolve_ref

All call sites are checked and made sure that xstrdup() is called if
the value should be saved.
