builtin-merge: avoid run_command_v_opt() for recursive and subtree
The try_merge_strategy() function always ran the strategy in a separate
process, though this is not always necessary. The recursive and subtree
strategy can be called without a fork(). This patch adds a check, and
calls recursive in the same process without wasting resources.

This makes it possible to avoid passing the labels of branches as
arguments to merge_recursive(), merge_trees() and
merge_recursive_generic().
It also takes care of subtree merge, output buffering, verbosity, and
rename limits - these were global variables till now in
merge-recursive.c.
A new function, named init_merge_options(), is introduced as well, it
clears the struct merge_info, then initializes with default values,
finally updates the default values based on the config and environment
variables.

merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic()
merge_recursive_generic() takes, in comparison to to merge_recursive(),
no commit ("struct commit *") arguments but SHA ids ("unsigned char *"),
and no commit list of bases but an array of refs ("const char **").
This makes it more generic in the case that it can also take the SHA
of a tree to merge trees without commits, for the bases, the head
and the remote.
merge_recursive_generic() also handles locking and updating of the
index, which is a common use case of merge_recursive().
This patch also rewrites builtin-merge-recursive.c to make use of
merge_recursive_generic(). By doing this, I stumbled over the
limitation of 20 bases and I've added a warning if this limitation
is exceeded.
This patch qualifies make_virtual_commit() as static again because
this function is not needed anymore outside merge-recursive.c.

When the tracked contents have CRLF line endings, colored diff output
shows "^M" at the end of output lines, which is distracting, even though
the pager we use by default ("less") knows to hide them.
The problem is that "less" hides a carriage-return only at the end of the
line, immediately before a line feed. The colored diff output does not
take this into account, and emits four element sequence for each line:
- force this color;
- the line up to but not including the terminating line feed;
- reset color
- line feed.
By including the carriage return at the end of the line in the second
item, we are breaking the smart our pager has in order not to show "^M".
This can be fixed by changing the sequence to:
- force this color;
- the line up to but not including the terminating end-of-line;
- reset color
- end-of-line.
where end-of-line is either a single linefeed or a CRLF pair. When the
output is not colored, "force this color" and "reset color" sequences are
both empty, so we won't have this problem with or without this patch.

The description of crlf attribute incorrectly said that "-crlf" means

that is not the same thing.
We also have supported attribute macros and via that mechanism a handy
"binary" to specify "-crlf -diff" at the same time. It was not documented
anywhere as far as I can tell, even though the support was there from
the very beginning.

git-merge-recursive: learn to honor merge.conflictstyle
This teaches the low-level ll_xdl_merge() routine to honor
merge.conflictstyle configuration variable, so that merge-recursive
strategy can show the conflicts in the style of user's choice.
rerere: understand "diff3 -m" style conflicts with the original
This teaches rerere to grok conflicts expressed in "diff3 -m" style
output, where the version from the common ancestor is output after the
first side, preceded by a "|||||||" line.
The rerere database needs to keep only the versions from two sides, so the
code parses the original copy and discards it.
rerere.c: use symbolic constants to keep track of parsing states
These hardcoded integers make the code harder to follow than necessary;
replace them with enums to make it easier to read, before adding support
for optionally parsing "diff3 -m" style conflict markers.
xmerge.c: "diff3 -m" style clips merge reduction level to EAGER or less
When showing a conflicting merge result, and "--diff3 -m" style is asked
for, this patch makes sure that the merge reduction level does not exceed
XDL_MERGE_EAGER. This is because "diff3 -m" style output would not make
sense for anything more aggressive than XDL_MERGE_EAGER, because of the
way how the merge reduction works.
"git merge-file" no longer has to force MERGE_EAGER when "--diff3" is
asked for because of this change.
Suppose a common ancestor (shared preimage) is modified to postimage #1
and #2 (each letter represents one line):
(1) find the s/56/ABCDE/ done on one side and s/56/AXYE/ done on the
other side,
(2) notice that they touch an overlapping area, and
(3) mark it as a conflict, "ABCDE vs AXYE".
The difference between the two algorithms is that EAGER drops the hunk
altogether if the postimages match (i.e. both sides modified the same
way), while MINIMAL keeps it. There is no other operation performed to
the hunk. As the result, lines marked with "#" in the above picure will
be in the RCS merge style output like this (letters <, = and > represent
conflict marker lines):
output: 1234<ABCDE=AXYE>789 ; with MINIMAL/EAGER
The part from the preimage that corresponds to these conflicting changes
is "56", which is what "diff3 -m" style output adds to it:
output: 1234<ABCDE|56=AXYE>789 ; in "diff3 -m" style
Now, XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS looks at the differences between the changes two
postimages made in order to reduce the number of lines in the conflicting
regions. It notices that both sides start their new contents with "A",
and excludes it from the output (it also excludes "E" for the same
reason). The conflict that used to be "ABCDE vs AXYE" is now "BCD vs XY":
output: 1234A<BCD=XY>E789 ; with ZEALOUS
There could even be matching parts between two postimages in the middle.
Instead of one side rewriting the shared "56" to "ABCDE" and the other
side to "AXYE", imagine the case where the postimages are "ABCDE" and
"AXCYE", in which case instead of having one conflicted hunk "BCD vs XY",
you would have two conflicting hunks "B vs X" and "D vs Y".
In either case, once you reduce "ABCDE vs AXYE" to "BCD vs XY" (or "ABCDE
vs AXCYE" to "B vs X" and "D vs Y"), there is no part from the preimage
that corresponds to the conflicting change made in both postimages
anymore. In other words, conflict reduced by ZEALOUS algorithm cannot be
expressed in "diff3 -m" style. Representing the last illustration like
this is misleading to say the least:
because the preimage was not ...4A56E... to begin with. "A" and "E" are
common only between the postimages.
Even worse, once a single conflicting hunk is split into multiple ones
(recall the example of breaking "ABCDE vs AXCYE" to "B vs X" and "D vs
Y"), there is no sane way to distribute the preimage text across split
conflicting hunks.
This replaces hardcoded magic constants with symbolic ones for
readability, and swaps one if/else blocks to better match the
order in which 0/1/2 variables are handled to nearby codepath.
xdiff-merge: optionally show conflicts in "diff3 -m" style
When showing conflicting merges, we traditionally followed RCS's merge
output format. The output shows:
<<<<<<<
postimage from one side;
=======
postimage of the other side; and
>>>>>>>
Some poeple find it easier to be able to understand what is going on when
they can view the common ancestor's version, which is used by "diff3 -m",
which shows:
<<<<<<<
postimage from one side;
|||||||
shared preimage;
=======
postimage of the other side; and
>>>>>>>
This is an initial step to bring that as an optional feature to git.
Only "git merge-file" has been converted, with "--diff3" option.

Even after a handfle attempts, match_beginning logic still has corner

This is a tricky piece of code.
We still incorrectly enforce "match_beginning" for -U0 matches.
I noticed this while trying out an example sequence from Clemens Buchacher:
$ echo a >victim
$ git add victim
$ echo b >>victim
$ git diff -U0 >patch
$ cat patch
diff --git i/victim w/victim
index 7898192..422c2b7 100644
--- i/victim
+++ w/victim
@@ -1,0 +2 @@ a
+b
$ git apply --cached --unidiff-zero <patch
$ git show :victim
b
a
The change inserts a new line before the second line, but we insist it to
be applied at the beginning. As the result, the code refuses to apply it
at the original offset, and we end up adding the line at the beginning.
Updates to the test script are by Clemens Buchacher.
Since 59d3f54 (name-rev: avoid "^0" when unneeded, 2007-02-20), name-rev
stopped showing an unnecessary "^0" to dereference a tag down to a commit.
The patch should have made a matching update to the documentation, but we
forgot.
The code failed to filter-out git-add properly on platforms were $X is
not empty (ATM there is only one such a platform).
Than it tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just
removed (because git-add is first in the BUILT_INS), so ln failed (but
because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the error was never seen), and
the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.

rev-list: fix --reverse interaction with --parents
--reverse did not interact well with --parents, as the included test
case shows: in a history like
A--B.
\ \
`C--M--D
the command
git rev-list --reverse --parents --full-history HEAD
erroneously lists D as having no parents at all. (Without --reverse,
it correctly lists M.)
This is caused by the machinery driving --reverse: it first grabs all
commits through the normal routines, then runs them through the same
routines again, effectively simplifying them twice.
Fix this by moving the --reverse one level up, into get_revision().
This way we can cleanly grab all commits via the normal calls, then
just pop them off the list one by one without interfering with
get_revision_internal().

make git-shell paranoid about closed stdin/stdout/stderr
It is in general unsafe to start a program with one or more of file
descriptors 0/1/2 closed. Karl Chen for example noticed that stat_command
does this in order to rename a pipe file descriptor to 0:
dup2(from, 0);
close(from);
... but if stdin was closed (for example) from == 0, so that
dup2(0, 0);
close(0);
just ends up closing the pipe. Another extremely rare but nasty problem
would occur if an "important" file ends up in file descriptor 2, and is
corrupted by a call to die().
Fixing this in git was considered to be overkill, so this patch works
around it only for git-shell. The fix is simply to open all the "low"
descriptors to /dev/null in main.

When one good revision is not an ancestor of the bad revision, the
merge bases between the good and the bad revision should be checked
to make sure that they are also good revisions.
A previous patch takes care of that, but it may check the merge bases
more often than really needed. In fact the previous patch did not try
to optimize this as much as possible because it is not so simple. So
this is the purpose of this patch.
One may think that when all the merge bases have been checked then
we can save a flag, so that we don't need to check the merge bases
again during the bisect process.
The problem is that the user may choose to checkout and test
something completely different from what the bisect process
suggested. In this case we have to check the merge bases again,
because there may be new merge bases relevant to the bisect
process.
That's why, in this patch, when we detect that the user tested
something else than what the bisect process suggested, we remove
the flag that says that we don't need to check the merge bases
again.

bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
Before this patch, "git bisect", when it was given some good revs that
are not ancestor of the bad rev, didn't check if the merge bases were
good. "git bisect" just supposed that the user knew what he was doing,
and that, when he said the revs were good, he knew that it meant that
all the revs in the history leading to the good revs were also
considered good.
But in pratice, the user may not know that a good rev is not an
ancestor of the bad rev, or he may not know/remember that all revs
leading to the good rev will be considered good. So he may give a good
rev that is a sibling, instead of an ancestor, of the bad rev, when in
fact there can be one rev becoming good in the branch of the good rev
(because the bug was already fixed there, for example) instead of one
rev becoming bad in the branch of the bad rev.
For example, if there is the following history:
A--B--C--D
\
E--F
and we launch "git bisect start D F" then only C and D would have been
considered as possible first bad commit before this patch. This could
invite user errors; F could be the commit that fixes the bug that exists
everywhere else.
The purpose of this patch is to detect when "git bisect" is passed
some good revs that are not ancestors of the bad rev, and then to first
ask the user to test the merge bases between the good and bad revs.
If the merge bases are good then all is fine, we can continue
bisecting. Otherwise, if one merge base is bad, it means that the
assumption that all revs leading to the good one are good too is
wrong and we error out. In the case where one merge base is skipped we
issue a warning and then continue bisecting anyway.
These checks will also catch the case where good and bad have been
mistaken. This means that we can remove the check that was done latter
on the output of "git rev-list --bisect-vars".

Makefile: always provide a fallback when hardlinks fail

Instead of temporarily linking "git" to gitexecdir, directly link "git-

back to symlinks or "cp" on error.
While at it, avoid 100+ error messages from hardlink failures when we are

This reverts commit daa0cc9a92c9c2c714aa5f7da6d0ff65b93e0698.
It was a stupid idea to do this; when run as a log-in shell,
it is spawned with argv[0] set to "-git-shell", so the usual
name-based dispatch would not work to begin with.
This has been broken in v1.6.0 due to the reorganization of
the revision option parsing code. The "-i" is completely
ignored, but works fine in "git log --grep -i".
What happens is that the code for "-i" looks for
revs->grep_filter; if it is NULL, we do nothing, since there
are no grep filters. But that is obviously not correct,
since we want it to influence the later --grep option. Doing
it the other way around works, since "-i" just impacts the
existing grep_filter option.
Instead, we now always initialize the grep_filter member and
just fill in options and patterns as we get them. This means
that we can no longer check grep_filter for NULL, but
instead must check the pattern list to see if we have any
actual patterns.

It was not obvious from the text that pager.<cmd> is a boolean
setting.
While we're changing the description, make some other
improvements: lest we forget and fret, clarify that -p and
pager.<cmd> do not kick in when stdout is not a tty; point to
related core.pager and GIT_PAGER settings; use renamed --paginate
option.

Fix git-diff to make it produce useful 3-way diffs for merge conflicts in
repositories with autocrlf enabled. Otherwise it always reports that the
whole file was changed, because it uses the contents from the working tree
without necessary conversion.

Custom merge strategy does not even kick in when the merge is truly
trivial. The test depended on the behaviour in the git-merge rewritten in
C that broke the trivial merge completely.
Make the test to work on a non-trivial merge to make sure the strategy
kicks in.

unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
git-p4: Fix one-liner in p4_write_pipe function.
Completion: add missing '=' for 'diff --diff-filter'
Fix 'git help help'
