Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directories
It is an implementation detail that a new tag is created by adding a
file in the .git/refs/tags directory. The only thing the user needs
to know is that a "git tag" creates a ref in the refs/tags namespace,
and without "-f", it does not overwrite an existing tag.
Inspired by a report from 乙酸鋰 <ch3cooli@gmail.com>; I think I
caught all the existing mention in Documentation/ directory in the
tip of 1.7.9.X maintenance track, but we may have added new ones
since then.
These assignments comes from the very first commit e83c516 (Initial
revision of "git", the information manager from hell - 2005-04-07).
Back then we did not die() when errors happened so correct errno was
required.
Since 5d1a5c0 ([PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status" -
2005-10-01), read_index_from() learned to die rather than just return
-1 and these assignments became irrelevant. Remove them.
While at it, move die_errno() next to xmmap() call because it's the
mmap's error code that we care about. Otherwise if close(fd); fails,
it could overwrite mmap's errno.

When a file that ends with an incomplete line is expressed as a
complete rewrite with the -B option, git diff incorrectly
appends the incomplete line indicator "\ No newline at end of
file" after such a line, rather than writing it on a line of its
own (the output codepath for normal output without -B does not
have this problem). Add a LF after the incomplete line before
writing the "\ No newline ..." out to fix this.
Add a couple of tests to confirm that the indicator comment is
generated on its own line in both plain diff and rewrite mode.

The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD
releases and their derivatives, not to mention antique
commercial Unixes.
We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not
everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept
in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not
run by default.
Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet
(proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet
everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier
to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove
Perl from the test suite.
Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It
just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for
us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the
future.
There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure
if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running
more processes of Perl.

merge-recursive: eliminate flush_buffer() in favor of write_in_full()
flush_buffer() is a thin wrapper around write_in_full() with two very
confusing properties:
* It runs a loop to handle short reads, ensuring that we write
everything. But that is precisely what write_in_full() does!
* It checks for a return value of 0 from write_in_full(), which cannot
happen: it returns this value only if count=0, but flush_buffer()
will never call write_in_full() in this case.

grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting
The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.
Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.
When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.

git-svn: replace URL escapes with canonicalization
The old hand-rolled URL escape functions were inferior to
canonicalization functions.
Continuing to move towards getting everything canonicalizing the same way.
* Git::SVN->init_remote_config and Git::SVN::Ra->minimize_url both
have to canonicalize the same way else init_remote_config
will incorrectly think they're different URLs causing
t9107-git-svn-migrate.sh to fail.
git-svn: attempt to mimic SVN 1.7 URL canonicalization
Previously, our URL canonicalization didn't do much of anything.
Now it actually escapes and collapses slashes. This is mostly a cut & paste
of escape_url from git-svn.
This is closer to how SVN 1.7's canonicalization behaves. Doing it with
1.6 lets us chase down some problems caused by more effective canonicalization
without having to deal with all the other 1.7 issues on top of that.
* Remote URLs have to be canonicalized otherwise Git::SVN->find_existing_remote
will think they're different.
* The SVN remote is now written to the git config canonicalized. That
should be ok. Adjust a test to account for that.
This canonicalizes paths and urls as early as possible so we don't
have to remember to do it at the point of use. It will fix a swath
of SVN 1.7 problems in one go.
Its ok to double canonicalize things.
SVN 1.7 still fails, still not worrying about that.
All tests pass with SVN 1.6. SVN 1.7 remains broken, not worrying
about it yet.
SVN changed its path canonicalization API between 1.6 and 1.7.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.developer.usingapi.html#svn.developer.usingapi.urlpath
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.developer.usingapi.html#svn.developer.usingapi.urlpath
The SVN API does not accept foo/.. but it also doesn't canonicalize
it. We have to do it ourselves.
[ew: commit title, fall back if SVN <= 1.6 fails to canonicalize]
git-svn: add join_paths() to safely concatenate paths
Otherwise you might wind up with things like...
my $path1 = undef;
my $path2 = 'foo';
my $path = $path1 . '/' . $path2;
creating '/foo'. Or this...
my $path1 = 'foo/';
my $path2 = 'bar';
my $path = $path1 . '/' . $path2;
creating 'foo//bar'.
Could have used File::Spec, but I'm shying away from it due to SVN
1.7's pickiness about paths. Felt it would be better to have our own
we can control completely.
The RFC2047 unquoting, used to parse email addresses in From and Cc
headers, is broken in several ways:
* It erroneously substitutes ' ' for '_' in *the whole* header, even
outside the quoted field. [Noticed by Christoph.]
* It is too liberal in its matching, and happily matches the start
of one quoted chunk against the end of another, or even just
something that looks like such an end. [Noticed by Junio.]
* It fundamentally cannot cope with encodings that are not a
superset of ASCII, nor several (incompatible) encodings in the
same header.
This patch fixes the first two by doing a more careful decoding of
the outer quoting (e.g. "=AB" to represent an octet whose value is
0xAB). Fixing the fundamental issues is left for a future, more
intrusive, patch.

invocations of "git commit-tree" when creating the commits which
later have their commit id's compared. For example, if the commits

then the commits, which would otherwise be identical, will have
different commit id's.
In order to make the test reproducible, we remove the variability
by setting the author and committer times to a well defined state.

Short of somebody happening to beat the 1 in 2^160 odds of
actually generating content that hashes to the null sha1, we
should never see this value in a tree entry. So let's have
fsck warn if it it seen.
As in the previous commit, we test both blob and submodule
entries to future-proof the test suite against the
implementation depending on connectivity to notice the
error.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
We should never need to write the null sha1 into an index
entry (short of the 1 in 2^160 chance that somebody actually
has content that hashes to it). If we attempt to do so, it
is much more likely that it is a bug, since we use the null
sha1 as a sentinel value to mean "not valid".
The presence of null sha1s in the index (which can come
from, among other things, "update-index --cacheinfo", or by
reading a corrupted tree) can cause problems for later
readers, because they cannot distinguish the literal null
sha1 from its use a sentinel value. For example, "git
diff-files" on such an entry would make it appear as if it
is stat-dirty, and until recently, the diff code assumed
such an entry meant that we should be diffing a working tree
file rather than a blob.
Ideally, we would stop such entries from entering even our
in-core index. However, we do sometimes legitimately add
entries with null sha1s in order to represent these sentinel
situations; simply forbidding them in add_index_entry breaks
a lot of the existing code. However, we can at least make
sure that our in-core sentinel representation never makes it
to disk.
To be thorough, we will test an attempt to add both a blob
and a submodule entry. In the former case, we might run into
problems anyway because we will be missing the blob object.
But in the latter case, we do not enforce connectivity
across gitlink entries, making this our only point of
enforcement. The current implementation does not care which
type of entry we are seeing, but testing both cases helps
future-proof the test suite in case that changes.

The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).
The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.
We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.
This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.
One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).
