t: use sane_unset instead of unset

Change several tests to use the sane_unset function introduced in
v1.7.3.1-35-g00648ba instead of the built-in unset function.

This fixes a failure I was having on t9130-git-svn-authors-file.sh on
Solaris, and prevents several other issues from occurring.

Remove Git's support for smoke testingÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:08:18 +0000 (17:08 +0000)

Remove Git's support for smoke testing

I'm no longer running the Git smoke testing service at
smoke.git.nix.is due to Smolder being a fragile piece of software not
having time to follow through on making it easy for third parties to
run and submit their own smoke tests.

So remove the support in Git for sending smoke tests to
smoke.git.nix.is, it's still easy to modify the test suite to submit
smokes somewhere else.

This reverts the following commits:

Revert "t/README: Add SMOKE_{COMMENT,TAGS}= to smoke_report target" -- e38efac87d
Revert "t/README: Document the Smoke testing" -- d15e9ebc5c

Makefile: Change the default compiler from "gcc" to... Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Tue, 20 Dec 2011 23:40:47 +0000 (23:40 +0000)

Makefile: Change the default compiler from "gcc" to "cc"

Ever since the very first commit to git.git we've been setting CC to
"gcc". Presumably this is behavior that Linus copied from the Linux
Makefile.

However unlike Linux Git is written in ANSI C and supports a multitude
of compilers, including Clang, Sun Studio, xlc etc. On my Linux box
"cc" is a symlink to clang, and on a Solaris box I have access to "cc"
is Sun Studio's CC.

Both of these are perfectly capable of compiling Git, and it's
annoying to have to specify CC=cc on the command-line when compiling
Git when that's the default behavior of most other portable programs.

So change the default to "cc". Users who want to compile with GCC can
still add "CC=gcc" to the make(1) command-line, but those users who
don't have GCC as their "cc" will see expected behavior, and as a
bonus we'll be more likely to smoke out new compilation warnings from
our distributors since they'll me using a more varied set of compilers
by default.

Makefile: introduce CHARSET_LIB to link with -lcharset

On some systems, the function locale_charset() may not be exported from
libiconv but is available from libcharset, and we need -lcharset when
linking.

Introduce a make variable CHARSET_LIB that can be set to -lcharsetlib
on such systems. Also autodetect this in the configure script by first
looking for the symbol in libiconv, and then libcharset.

Commit 19d2d23 (gitweb: add project_filter to limit project list
to a subdirectory, 2012-01-30) added also support for displaying
$project_filter, if present, in page title.

Unfortunately it forgot to treat $project_filter as path, and escape
it using esc_path(), like it is done for $filename.

Also, it was not obvious that "$site_name - $project_filter" is about
project filtering: use "$site_name - projects in '$project_filter'".

"git pull" doesn't know "--edit"Linus Torvalds Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:21:03 +0000 (10:21 -0800)

"git pull" doesn't know "--edit"

Ok, so now "git merge" defaults to editing when interactive - lovely. But
when testing that, I noticed that while you can say

git merge --[no-]edit ..branch..

that does not work with "git pull". You get a message like

error: unknown option `no-edit'
usage: git fetch [<options>] [<repository> [<refspec>...]]
or: git fetch [<options>] <group>
or: git fetch --multiple [<options>] [(<repository> | <group>)...]
or: git fetch --all [<options>]

-v, --verbose be more verbose
-q, --quiet be more quiet
--all fetch from all remotes
...

which is because that stupid shell script doesn't know about the new
flags, and just passes it to "git fetch" instead.

Now, I really wanted to just make "git pull" a built-in instead of that
nasty shell script, but I'm lazy. So here's the trivial updates to
git-pull.sh to at least teach it about -e/--edit/--no-edit.

mergetools/meld: Use --help output to detect --output support

In v1.7.7-rc0~3^2 (2011-08-19), git mergetool's "meld" support learned
to use the --output option when calling versions of meld that are
detected to support it (1.5.0 and newer, hopefully).

Alas, it misdetects old versions (before 1.1.5, 2006-06-11) of meld as
supporting the option, so on systems with such meld, instead of
getting a nice merge helper, the operator gets a dialog box with the
text "Wrong number of arguments (Got 5)". (Version 1.1.5 is when meld
switched to using optparse. One consequence of that change was that
errors in usage are detected and signalled through the exit status
even when --help was passed.)

Luckily there is a simpler check that is more reliable: the usage
string printed by "meld --help" reliably reflects whether --output is
supported in a given version. Use it.

tag: do not show non-tag contents with "-n"

"git tag -n" did not check the type of the object it is reading the top n
lines from. At least, avoid showing the beginning of trees and blobs when
dealing with lightweight tags that point at them.

As the payload of a tag and a commit look similar in that they both start
with a header block, which is skipped for the purpose of "-n" output,
followed by human readable text, allow the message of commit objects to be
shown just like the contents of tag objects. This avoids regression for
people who have been using "tag -n" to show the log messages of commits
that are pointed at by lightweight tags.

Test script is from Jeff King.

commit: ignore intent-to-add entries instead of refusing

Originally, "git add -N" was introduced to help users from forgetting to
add new files to the index before they ran "git commit -a". As an attempt
to help them further so that they do not forget to say "-a", "git commit"
to commit the index as-is was taught to error out, reminding the user that
they may have forgotten to add the final contents of the paths before
running the command.

This turned out to be a false "safety" that is useless. If the user made
changes to already tracked paths and paths added with "git add -N", and
then ran "git add" to register the final contents of the paths added with
"git add -N", "git commit" will happily create a commit out of the index,
without including the local changes made to the already tracked paths. It
was not a useful "safety" measure to prevent "forgetful" mistakes from
happening.

It turns out that this behaviour is not just a useless false "safety", but
actively hurts use cases of "git add -N" that were discovered later and
have become popular, namely, to tell Git to be aware of these paths added
by "git add -N", so that commands like "git status" and "git diff" would
include them in their output, even though the user is not interested in
including them in the next commit they are going to make.

Fix this ancient UI mistake, and instead make a commit from the index
ignoring the paths added by "git add -N" without adding real contents.

Based on the work by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy, and helped by injection of
sanity from Jonathan Nieder and others on the Git mailing list.

drop odd return value semantics from userdiff_configJeff King Tue, 7 Feb 2012 18:23:02 +0000 (13:23 -0500)

drop odd return value semantics from userdiff_config

When the userdiff_config function was introduced in be58e70
(diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code,
2008-10-05), it used a return value convention unlike any
other config callback. Like other callbacks, it used "-1" to
signal error. But it returned "1" to indicate that it found
something, and "0" otherwise; other callbacks simply
returned "0" to indicate that no error occurred.

This distinction was necessary at the time, because the
userdiff namespace overlapped slightly with the color
configuration namespace. So "diff.color.foo" could mean "the
'foo' slot of diff coloring" or "the 'foo' component of the
"color" userdiff driver". Because the color-parsing code
would die on an unknown color slot, we needed the userdiff
code to indicate that it had matched the variable, letting
us bypass the color-parsing code entirely.

Later, in 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration,
2009-12-12), the color-parsing code learned to silently
ignore unknown slots. This means we no longer need to
protect userdiff-matched variables from reaching the
color-parsing code.

We can therefore change the userdiff_config calling
convention to a more normal one. This drops some code from
each caller, which is nice. But more importantly, it reduces
the cognitive load for readers who may wonder why
userdiff_config is unlike every other config callback.

There's no need to add a new test confirming that this
works; t4020 already contains a test that sets
diff.color.external.

add -e: do not show difference in a submodule that is merely dirty

When the HEAD of the submodule matches what is recorded in the index of
the superproject, and it has local changes or untracked files, the patch
offered by "git add -e" for editing shows a diff like this:

diff --git a/submodule b/submodule
<header>
-deadbeef...
+deadbeef...-dirty

Because applying such a patch has no effect to the index, this is a
useless noise. Generate the patch with IGNORE_DIRTY_SUBMODULES flag to
prevent such a change from getting reported.

This patch also loses the "-dirty" suffix from the output when the HEAD of
the submodule is different from what is in the index of the superproject.
As such dirtiness expressed by the suffix does not affect the result of
the patch application at all, there is no information lost if we remove
it. The user could still run "git status" before "git add -e" if s/he
cares about the dirtiness.

completion: work around zsh option propagation bugFelipe Contreras Thu, 2 Feb 2012 19:26:15 +0000 (11:26 -0800)

completion: work around zsh option propagation bug

When listing commands in zsh (git <TAB><TAB>), all of them will show up,
instead of only porcelain ones.

The root cause of this is because zsh versions from 4.3.0 to present
(4.3.15) do not correctly propagate the SH_WORD_SPLIT option into the
subshell in ${foo:=$(bar)} expressions. Because of this bug, the list of
all commands was treated as a single word in __git_list_porcelain_commands
and did not match any of the patterns that would usually cause plumbing to
be excluded.

With problematic versions of zsh, after running

emulate sh
fn () {
var='one two'
for v in $var; do echo $v; done
}
x=$(fn)
: ${y=$(fn)}

printing "$x" results in two lines as expected, but printing "$y" results
in a single line because $var is expanded as a single word when evaluating
fn to compute y.

So avoid the construct, and use an explicit 'test -n "$foo" || foo=$(bar)'
instead.

mailmap: always return a plain mail address from map_user()

The callers of map_user() give email and name to it, and expect to get the
up-to-date email and/or name to be used in their output. The function
rewrites the given buffers in place. To optimize the majority of cases,
the function returns 0 when it did not do anything, and it returns 1 when
the caller should use the updated contents.

The 'email' input to the function is terminated by '>' or a NUL (whichever
comes first) for historical reasons, but when a rewrite happens, the value
is replaced with the mailbox inside the <> pair. However, it failed to
meet this expectation when it only rewrote the name part without rewriting
the email part, and the email in the input was terminated by '>'.

This causes an extra '>' to appear in the output of "blame -e", because the
caller does send in '>'-terminated email, and when the function returned 1
to tell it that rewriting happened, it appends '>' that is necessary when
the email part was rewritten.

The patch looks bigger than it actually is, because this change makes a
variable that points at the end of the email part in the input 'p' live
much longer than it used to, deserving a more descriptive name.

Noticed and diagnosed by Felipe Contreras and Jeff King.
