gitweb: Fix the author initials in blame for non-ASCII names

Change the @author_initials feature Jakub added in
v1.6.4-rc2-14-ga36817b to match non-ASCII author initials as intended.

The regexp Jakub added was intended to match
non-ASCII (/\b([[:upper:]])\B/g). But in Perl this doesn't actually
match non-ASCII upper-case characters unless the string being matched
against has the UTF8 flag.

So when we open a pipe to "git blame" we need to mark the file
descriptor we're opening as utf8 explicitly.

So as a result it abbreviates me to "AB" not "ÆAB", entirely because "Æ"
isn't /[[:upper:]]/ unless the string being matched against has the UTF8
flag.

Here's something that demonstrates the issue:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;

binmode STDOUT, ':utf8' if $ENV{UTF8};
open my $fd, "-|", "git", "blame", "--incremental", "--", "Makefile" or die "Can't open: $!";
binmode $fd, ":utf8" if $ENV{UTF8};
while (my $line = <$fd>) {
next unless my ($author) = $line =~ /^author (.*)/;
my @author_initials = ($author =~ /\b([[:upper:]])\B/g);
printf "%s (%s)\n", join("", @author_initials), $author;
}

When that's run with and without UTF8 being true in the environment it
gives, on git.git:

$ UTF8=0 perl author-initials.pl | sort | uniq -c |
sort -nr | head -n 5

has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving upJeff King Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:14:13 +0000 (15:14 -0400)

has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up

When we read a sha1 file, we first look for a packed
version, then a loose version, and then re-check the pack
directory again before concluding that we cannot find it.
This lets us handle a process that is writing to the
repository simultaneously (e.g., receive-pack writing a new
pack followed by a ref update, or git-repack packing
existing loose objects into a new pack).

However, we do not do the same trick with has_sha1_file; we
only check the packed objects once, followed by loose
objects. This means that we might incorrectly report that we
do not have an object, even though we could find it if we
simply re-checked the pack directory.

By itself, this is usually not a big deal. The other process
is running simultaneously, so we may run has_sha1_file
before it writes, anyway. It is a race whether we see the
object or not. However, we may also see other things
the writing process has done (like updating refs); and in
that case, we must be able to also see the new objects.

For example, imagine we are doing a for_each_ref iteration,
and somebody simultaneously pushes. Receive-pack may write
the pack and update a ref after we have examined the
objects/pack directory, but before the iteration gets to the
updated ref. When we do finally see the updated ref,
for_each_ref will call has_sha1_file to check whether the
ref is broken. If has_sha1_file returns the wrong answer, we
erroneously will think that the ref is broken.

For a normal iteration without DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN,
this means that the caller does not see the ref at all
(neither the old nor the new value). So not only will we
fail to see the new value of the ref (which is acceptable,
since we are running simultaneously with the writer, and we
might well read the ref before the writer commits its
write), but we will not see the old value either. For
programs that act on reachability like pack-objects or
prune, this can cause data loss, as we may see the objects
referenced by the original ref value as dangling (and either
omit them from the pack, or delete them via prune).

There's no test included here, because the success case is
two processes running simultaneously forever. But you can
replicate the issue with:

# base.sh
# run this in one terminal; it creates and pushes
# repeatedly to a repository
git init parent &&
(cd parent &&

# create a base commit that will trigger us looking at
# the objects/pack directory before we hit the updated ref
echo content >file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m base &&

# set the unpack limit abnormally low, which
# lets us simulate full-size pushes using tiny ones
git config receive.unpackLimit 1
) &&
git clone parent child &&
cd child &&
n=0 &&
while true; do
echo $n >file && git add file && git commit -m $n &&
git push origin HEAD:refs/remotes/child/master &&
n=$(($n + 1))
done

# fsck.sh
# now run this simultaneously in another terminal; it
# repeatedly fscks, looking for us to consider the
# newly-pushed ref broken. We cannot use for-each-ref
# here, as it uses DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN, which
# skips the has_sha1_file check (and if it wants
# more information on the object, it will actually read
# the object, which does the proper two-step lookup)
cd parent &&
while true; do
broken=`git fsck 2>&1 | grep remotes/child`
if test -n "$broken"; then
echo $broken
exit 1
fi
done

Without this patch, the fsck loop fails within a few seconds
(and almost instantly if the test repository actually has a
large number of refs). With it, the two can run
indefinitely.

write_index: optionally allow broken null sha1sJeff King Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:41:12 +0000 (16:41 -0400)

write_index: optionally allow broken null sha1s

Commit 4337b58 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index,
2012-07-28) added a safety check preventing git from writing
null sha1s into the index. The intent was to catch errors in
other parts of the code that might let such an entry slip
into the index (or worse, a tree).

Some existing repositories may have invalid trees that
contain null sha1s already, though. Until 4337b58, a common
way to clean this up would be to use git-filter-branch's
index-filter to repair such broken entries. That now fails
when filter-branch tries to write out the index.

Introduce a GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 environment variable to
relax this check and make it easier to recover from such a
history.

It is tempting to not involve filter-branch in this commit
at all, and instead require the user to manually invoke

GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git filter-branch ...

to perform an index-filter on a history with trees with null
sha1s. That would be slightly safer, but requires some
specialized knowledge from the user. So let's set the
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 variable automatically when checking out
the to-be-filtered trees. Advice on using filter-branch to
remove such entries already exists on places like
stackoverflow, and this patch makes it Just Work again on
recent versions of git.

Further commands that touch the index will still notice and
fail, unless they actually remove the broken entries. A
filter-branch whose filters do not touch the index at all
will not error out (since we complain of the null sha1 only
on writing, not when making a tree out of the index), but
this is acceptable, as we still print a loud warning, so the
problem is unlikely to go unnoticed.

mailmap: handle mailmap blobs without trailing newlinesJeff King Wed, 28 Aug 2013 01:41:39 +0000 (21:41 -0400)

mailmap: handle mailmap blobs without trailing newlines

The read_mailmap_buf function reads each line of the mailmap
using strchrnul, like:

const char *end = strchrnul(buf, '\n');
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + 1;

But that's off-by-one when we actually hit the NUL byte; our
line does not have a terminator, and so is only "end - buf"
bytes long. As a result, when we subtract the linelen from
the total len, we end up with (unsigned long)-1 bytes left
in the buffer, and we start reading random junk from memory.

We could fix it with:

unsigned long linelen = end - buf + !!*end;

but let's take a step back for a moment. It's questionable
in the first place for a function that takes a buffer and
length to be using strchrnul. But it works because we only
have one caller (and are only likely to ever have this one),
which is handing us data from read_sha1_file. Which means
that it's always NUL-terminated.

Instead of tightening the assumptions to make the
buffer/length pair work for a caller that doesn't actually
exist, let's let loosen the assumptions to what the real
caller has: a modifiable, NUL-terminated string.

This makes the code simpler and shorter (because we don't
have to correlate strchrnul with the length calculation),
correct (because the code with the off-by-one just goes
away), and more efficient (we can drop the extra allocation
we needed to create NUL-terminated strings for each line,
and just terminate in place).

Add testcase for needless objects during a shallow fetch

This is a testcase that checks for a problem where, during a specific
shallow fetch where the client does not have any commits that are a
successor of the new shallow root (i.e., the fetch creates a new

objects, instead of taking into account the objects already present in
the client.

list-objects: mark more commits as edges in mark_edges_... Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Fri, 16 Aug 2013 09:52:07 +0000 (16:52 +0700)

list-objects: mark more commits as edges in mark_edges_uninteresting

The purpose of edge commits is to let pack-objects know what objects
it can use as base, but does not need to include in the thin pack
because the other side is supposed to already have them. So far we
mark uninteresting parents of interesting commits as edges. But even
an unrelated uninteresting commit (that the other side has) may
become a good base for pack-objects and help produce more efficient
packs.

This is especially true for shallow clone, when the client issues a
fetch with a depth smaller or equal to the number of commits the
server is ahead of the client. For example, in this commit history
the client has up to "A" and the server has up to "B":

-------A---B
have--^ ^
/
want--+

If depth 1 is requested, the commit list to send to the client
includes only B. The way m_e_u is working, it checks if parent
commits of B are uninteresting, if so mark them as edges. Due to
shallow effect, commit B is grafted to have no parents and the
revision walker never sees A as the parent of B. In fact it marks no
edges at all in this simple case and sends everything B has to the
client even if it could have excluded what A and also the client
already have.

In a slightly different case where A is not a direct parent of B
(iow there are commits in between A and B), marking A as an edge can
still save some because B may still have stuff from the far ancestor
A.

There is another case from the earlier patch, when we deepen a ref
from C->E to A->E:

---A---B C---D---E
want--^ ^ ^
shallow-+ /
have-------+

In this case we need to send A and B to the client, and C (i.e. the
current shallow point that the client informs the server) is a very
good base because it's closet to A and B. Normal m_e_u won't recognize
C as an edge because it only looks back to parents (i.e. A<-B) not the
opposite way B->C even if C is already marked as uninteresting commit
by the previous patch.

This patch includes all uninteresting commits from command line as
edges and lets pack-objects decide what's best to do. The upside is we
have better chance of producing better packs in certain cases. The
downside is we may need to process some extra objects on the server
side.

For the shallow case on git.git, when the client is 5 commits behind
and does "fetch --depth=3", the result pack is 99.26 KiB instead of
4.92 MiB.

upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch... Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Fri, 16 Aug 2013 09:52:05 +0000 (16:52 +0700)

upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to pack-objects

upload-pack has a special revision walking code for shallow
recipients. It works almost like the similar code in pack-objects
except:

1. in upload-pack, graft points could be added for deepening;

2. also when the repository is deepened, the shallow point will be
moved further away from the tip, but the old shallow point will be
marked as edge to produce more efficient packs. See 6523078 (make

config: do not use C function names as struct membersJeff King Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:57:18 +0000 (17:57 -0400)

config: do not use C function names as struct members

According to C99, section 7.1.4:

Any function declared in a header may be additionally
implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
header.

Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc"
may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call:

char c = cf->fgetc(cf);

This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines
fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure.

The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways:

1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like
macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is
undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to
remember to use it (and on systems without the macro,
forgetting will compile just fine).

2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must
also be providing fgetc as a function). This is
undesirable because presumably the implementation was
using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are
dropping that optimization.

Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.

status: always show tracking branch even no change

In order to see what the current branch is tracking, one way is using
"git branch -v -v", but branches other than the current are also
reported. Another way is using "git status", such as:

$ git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
...

But this will not work if there is no change between the current
branch and its upstream. Always report upstream tracking info
even if there is no difference, so that "git status" is consistent
for checking tracking info for current branch. E.g.

$ git status
# On branch feature1
# Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
...

$ git status -bs
## feature1...github/feature1
...

$ git checkout feature1
Already on 'feature1'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.

branch: report invalid tracking branch as goneJiang Xin Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:02:48 +0000 (15:02 +0800)

branch: report invalid tracking branch as gone

Command "git branch -vv" will report tracking branches, but invalid
tracking branches are also reported. This is because the function
stat_tracking_info() can not distinguish invalid tracking branch
from other cases which it would not like to report, such as
there is no upstream settings at all, or nothing is changed between
one branch and its upstream.

Junio suggested missing upstream should be reported [1] like:

$ git branch -v -v
master e67ac84 initial
* topic 3fc0f2a [topicbase: gone] topic

$ git status
# On branch topic
# Your branch is based on 'topicbase', but the upstream is gone.
# (use "git branch --unset-upstream" to fixup)
...

$ git status -b -s
## topic...topicbase [gone]
...

In order to do like that, we need to distinguish these three cases
(i.e. no tracking, with configured but no longer valid tracking, and
with tracking) in function stat_tracking_info(). So the refactored
function stat_tracking_info() has three return values: -1 (with "gone"
base), 0 (no base), and 1 (with base).

If the caller does not like to report tracking info when nothing
changed between the branch and its upstream, simply checks if
num_theirs and num_ours are both 0.

rebase -i: fix short SHA-1 collision

then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead
to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer
unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the
todo list has the same abbreviated value.

For example:

edit f00dfad first
pick badbeef second

If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef,
then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no
longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation:

error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous.
fatal: Needed a single revision
Invalid commit name: badbeef

Fix this problem by expanding the SHA-1's in the todo list before

must take extra care upon completion to restore $EDITOR in order to
avoid breaking following tests. This places extra burden upon such tests
and requires that they undesirably have extra knowledge about

$EDITOR it requires, rather than relying upon a global setting.

fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified

fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:

- shallow_lock is set up
- alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
"shallow.lock"
- commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
same memory.

At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.

Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

test index-pack on packs with recoverable delta cyclesJeff King Sat, 24 Aug 2013 00:02:35 +0000 (20:02 -0400)

test index-pack on packs with recoverable delta cycles

The previous commit added tests to show that index-pack
correctly bails in unrecoverable situations. There are some
situations where the data could be recovered, but it is not
currently:

1. If we can break the cycle using an object from another
pack via --fix-thin.

2. If we can break the cycle using a duplicate of one of
the objects found in the same pack.

Note that neither of these is particularly high priority; a
delta cycle within a pack should never occur, and we have no
record of even a buggy git implementation creating such a
pack.

However, it's worth adding these tests for two reasons. One,
to document that we do not currently handle the situation,
even though it is possible. And two, to exercise the code
that runs in this situation; even though it fails, by
running it we can confirm that index-pack detects the
situation and aborts, and does not misbehave (e.g., by
following the cycle in an infinite loop).

In both cases, we hit an assert that aborts index-pack.

add tests for indexing packs with delta cyclesJeff King Sat, 24 Aug 2013 00:02:31 +0000 (20:02 -0400)

add tests for indexing packs with delta cycles

If we receive a broken or malicious pack from a remote, we
will feed it to index-pack. As index-pack processes the
objects as a stream, reconstructing and hashing each object
to get its name, it is not very susceptible to doing the
wrong with bad data (it simply notices that the data is
bogus and aborts).

However, one question raised on the list is whether it could
be susceptible to problems during the delta-resolution
phase. In particular, can a cycle in the packfile deltas
cause us to go into an infinite loop or cause any other
problem?

The answer is no.

We cannot have a cycle of delta-base offsets, because they
go only in one direction (the OFS_DELTA object mentions its
base by an offset towards the beginning of the file, and we
explicitly reject negative offsets).

We can have a cycle of REF_DELTA objects, which refer to
base objects by sha1 name. However, index-pack does not know
these sha1 names ahead of time; it has to reconstruct the
objects to get their names, and it cannot do so if there is
a delta cycle (in other words, it does not even realize
there is a cycle, but only that there are items that cannot
be resolved).

Even though we can reason out that index-pack should handle
this fine, let's add a few tests to make sure it behaves
correctly.

sha1-lookup: handle duplicate keys with GIT_USE_LOOKUPJeff King Sat, 24 Aug 2013 00:02:25 +0000 (20:02 -0400)

sha1-lookup: handle duplicate keys with GIT_USE_LOOKUP

The sha1_entry_pos function tries to be smart about
selecting the middle of a range for its binary search by
looking at the value differences between the "lo" and "hi"
constraints. However, it is unable to cope with entries with
duplicate keys in the sorted list.

We may hit a point in the search where both our "lo" and
"hi" point to the same key. In this case, the range of
values between our endpoints is 0, and trying to scale the
difference between our key and the endpoints over that range
is undefined (i.e., divide by zero). The current code
catches this with an "assert(lov < hiv)".

Moreover, after seeing that the first 20 byte of the key are
the same, we will try to establish a value from the 21st
byte. Which is nonsensical.

Instead, we can detect the case that we are in a run of
duplicates, and simply do a final comparison against any one
of them (since they are all the same, it does not matter
which). If the keys match, we have found our entry (or one
of them, anyway). If not, then we know that we do not need
to look further, as we must be in a run of the duplicate
key.

contrib/git-prompt.sh: handle missing 'printf -v' more gracefully

Old Bash (3.0) which is distributed with RHEL 4.X and other ancient
platforms that are still in wide use, do not have a printf that
supports -v. Neither does Zsh (which is already handled in the code).

As suggested by Junio, let's test whether printf supports the -v
option and store the result. Then later, we can use it to
determine whether 'printf -v' can be used, or whether printf
must be called in a subshell.

I think it is more clear.

xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MBSteffen Prohaska Tue, 20 Aug 2013 06:43:54 +0000 (08:43 +0200)

xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB

Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails
on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with:

error: read from external filter cat failed
error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat
error: cat died of signal 13
error: external filter cat failed 141
error: external filter cat failed

The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked
to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of
nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction
[2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the
32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also
imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].

Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.

The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The
new test catches read and write problems.

Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.

avoid segfault on submodule.*.path set to an empty "true"

Git fails due to a segmentation fault if a submodule path is empty.
Here is an example .gitmodules that will cause a segmentation fault:

[submodule "foo-module"]
path
url = http://host/repo.git
$ git status
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is because the parsing of "submodule.*.path" is not prepared to
see a value-less "true" and assumes that the value is always
non-NULL (parsing of "ignore" has the same problem).

Fix it by checking the NULL-ness of value and complain with
config_error_nonbool().

bash prompt: test the prompt with newline in repository... SZEDER Gábor Sat, 17 Aug 2013 09:01:58 +0000 (11:01 +0200)

bash prompt: test the prompt with newline in repository path

Newlines in the path to a git repository were not an issue for the
git-specific bash prompt before commit efaa0c1532 (bash prompt:
combine 'git rev-parse' executions in the main code path, 2013-06-17),
because the path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir' was directly
stored in a variable, and this variable was later always accessed
inside double quotes.

Newlines are not an issue after commit efaa0c1532 either, but it's
more subtle. Since efaa0c1532 we use the following single 'git
rev-parse' execution to query various info about the repository:

git rev-parse --git-dir --is-inside-git-dir \
--is-bare-repository --is-inside-work-tree

The results to these queries are separated by a newline character in
the output, e.g.:

/home/szeder/src/git/.git
false
false
true

A newline in the path to the git repository could potentially break
the parsing of these results and ultimately the bash prompt, unless
the parsing is done right. Commit efaa0c1532 got it right, as I
consciously started parsing 'git rev-parse's output from the end,
where each record is a single line containing either 'true' or 'false'
or, after e3e0b9378b (bash prompt: combine 'git rev-parse' for
detached head, 2013-06-24), the abbreviated commit object name, and
all what remains at the beginning is the path to the git repository,
no matter how many lines it is.

This subtlety really warrants its own test, especially since I didn't
explain it in the log message or in an in-code comment back then, so
add a test to excercise the prompt with newline characters in the path
to the repository. Guard this test with the FUNNYNAMES prerequisite,
because not all filesystems support newlines in filenames. Note that
'git rev-parse --git-dir' prints '.git' or '.' when at the top of the
worktree or the repository, respectively, and only prints the full
path to the repository when in a subdirectory, hence the need for
changing into a subdir in the test.

create_delta_index: simplify condition always evaluating to true

The code sequence ' (1u << i) < hsize && i < 31 ' is a multi step
process, whose first step requires that 'i' is already less that 31,
otherwise the result (1u << i) is undefined (and 'undef_val < hsize'
can therefore be assumed to be 'false'), and so the later test i < 31
can always be optimized away as dead code ('i' is already less than 31,
or the short circuit 'and' applies).

So we need to get rid of that code. One way would be to exchange the
order of the conditions, so the expression 'i < 31 && (1u << i) < hsize'
would remove that optimized unstable code already.

However when checking the previous lines in that function, we can deduce
that 'hsize' must always be smaller than (1u<<31), since 506049c7df2c6
(fix >4GiB source delta assertion failure), because 'entries' is
capped at an upper bound of 0xfffffffeU, so 'hsize' contains a maximum
value of 0x3fffffff, which is smaller than (1u<<31), so the value of
'i' will never be larger than 31 and we can remove that condition
entirely.

ls-files -k: a directory only can be killed if the index has a non-directory

"ls-files -o" and "ls-files -k" both traverse the working tree down
to find either all untracked paths or those that will be "killed"
(removed from the working tree to make room) when the paths recorded
in the index are checked out. It is necessary to traverse the
working tree fully when enumerating all the "other" paths, but when
we are only interested in "killed" paths, we can take advantage of
the fact that paths that do not overlap with entries in the index
can never be killed.

The treat_one_path() helper function, which is called during the
recursive traversal, is the ideal place to implement an
optimization.

When we are looking at a directory P in the working tree, there are
three cases:

(1) P exists in the index. Everything inside the directory P in
the working tree needs to go when P is checked out from the
index.

(2) P does not exist in the index, but there is P/Q in the index.
We know P will stay a directory when we check out the contents
of the index, but we do not know yet if there is a directory
P/Q in the working tree to be killed, so we need to recurse.

(3) P does not exist in the index, and there is no P/Q in the index
to require P to be a directory, either. Only in this case, we
know that everything inside P will not be killed without
recursing.

Note that this helper is called by treat_leading_path() that decides
if we need to traverse only subdirectories of a single common
leading directory, which is essential for this optimization to be
correct. This caller checks each level of the leading path
component from shallower directory to deeper ones, and that is what
allows us to only check if the path appears in the index. If the
call to treat_one_path() weren't there, given a path P/Q/R, the real
traversal may start from directory P/Q/R, even when the index
records P as a regular file, and we would end up having to check if
any leading subpath in P/Q/R, e.g. P, appears in the index.
