var doc: default editor and pager are configurable at build time
Some distributors customize the fallback pager and editor used by git
commands when the user has not indicated a preference via the
core.editor/core.pager configuration or GIT_EDITOR, GIT_PAGER, VISUAL,
EDITOR, and PAGER environment variables, and git's build system
provides DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR makefile settings to help
them with that (see v1.6.6-rc0~24, 2009-11-20).
Unfortunately those compile-time settings do not affect the
documentation, so the uninitiated user who tries to understand git by
reading the git-var(1) manpage can easily be confused when git falls
back to 'nano' and 'more' instead of 'vi' and 'less'. Even if the
distributor patches the distributed docs to reflect the new default,
the user may read the official documentation from the git-htmldocs
repository online and be confused in the same way.
Add a few words stating that the defaults are customizable at
compile time to make the behavior crystal clear.

commit: rephrase the error when user did not touch templated log message
When the user exited editor without editing the commit log template given
by "git commit -t <template>", the commit was aborted (correct) with an
error message that said "due to empty commit message" (incorrect).
This was because the original template support was done by piggybacking on
the check to detect an empty log message. Split the codepaths into two
independent checks to clarify the error.
commit: do not trigger bogus "has templated message edited" check
When "-t template" and "-F msg" options are both given (or worse yet,
there is "commit.template" configuration but a message is given in some
other way), the documentation says that template is ignored. However,
the "has the user edited the message?" check still used the contents of
the template file as the basis of the emptyness check.
These tests try to run "git commit" with various "forbidden" combinations
of options and expect the command to fail, but they do so without having
any change added to the index. We wouldn't be able to catch breakages
that would allow these combinations by mistake with them because the
command will fail with "nothing to commit" anyway.
Make sure we have something added to the index before running the command.
The http-backend program sets default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL variables based on the REMOTE_USER and
REMOTE_ADDR variables provided by the webserver. However, it
unconditionally overwrites any existing GIT_COMMITTER
variables, which may have been customized by site-specific
code in the webserver (or in a script wrapping http-backend).
Let's leave those variables intact if they already exist,
assuming that any such configuration was intentional. There
is a slight chance of a regression if somebody has set
GIT_COMMITTER_* for the entire webserver, not intending it
to leak through http-backend. We could protect against this
by passing the information in alternate variables. However,
it seems unlikely that anyone will care about that
regression, and there is value in the simplicity of using
the common variable names that are used elsewhere in git.
While we're tweaking the environment-handling in
http-backend, let's switch it to use argv_array to handle
the list of variables. That makes the memory management much
simpler.

When applying a patch that was based on an older release with "am -3", I
often wonder changes to which files need to be reviewed with extra care to
spot mismerges, but there is no good indication.
The paths that needed 3-way fallback can easily be obtained by comparing
the synthesized (partial) base tree and the current HEAD and noticing only
additions and modifications (removals only show the sparseness of the fake
ancestor tree, which is not useful information at all). List them in the
usual --name-status format.
The fn_table is used to record the result of earlier patch application in
case a hand-crafted input file contains multiple patches to the same file.
Both its string key (filename) and the contents are borrowed from "struct
patch" that represents the previous application in the same apply_patch()
call, and they do not leak, but the table itself was not freed properly.
These were all allocated in the heap by parsing the header parts of the
patch, but we did not bother to free them. Some used to share the memory
(e.g. copying def_name to old_name) so this is not just the matter of
adding three calls to free().

Each ref structure contains a "nonfastforward" field which
is set during push to show whether the ref rewound history.
Originally this was a single bit, but it was changed in f25950f (push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward
errors) to an enum differentiating a non-ff of the current
branch versus another branch.
However, we never actually set the member according to the
enum values, nor did we ever read it expecting anything but
a boolean value. But we did use the side effect of declaring
the enum constants to store those values in a totally
different integer variable. The code as-is isn't buggy, but
the enum declaration inside "struct ref" is somewhat
misleading.
Let's convert nonfastforward back into a single bit, and
then define the NON_FF_* constants closer to where they
would be used (they are returned via the "int *nonfastforward"
parameter to transport_push, so we can define them there).

merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty files
Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies
"foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification
is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based
on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were
not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same
or similar content).
This is quite rare if the files actually contain content,
since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the
same content. However, empty files present a problem, in
that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting
placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related
to a placeholder file with another name.
The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause
confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your
content may end up in another random placeholder file that
was added.
Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty
files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict
on the merge, which will let the user sort it out
themselves.

teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content
Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of
removed and added files with similar or identical content.
It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to
compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename
detection when there is not enough content to produce good
results.
However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the
blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with
an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to
use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty
directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore).
This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are
interested in using empty files as rename sources and
destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original
behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for
rename sources and destinations.
One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller
to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for
rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate
files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file
in many directories).
A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename"
gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as
such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such
time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've
seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with
the simple thing.

gitk: Add menu items for comparing a commit with the marked commit
Sometimes one wants to see the different between two commits that are
a long distance apart in the graph display. This is difficult to do
with the "Diff this -> selected" and "Diff selected -> this" menu
items because the need to maintain the selection means that one can't
use the find facilities or the reference list window to navigate from
one to the other.
This provides an alternative using the mark. Having found one commit,
one marks it with the "Mark this commit" menu item, then navigates to
the other commit and uses the new "Diff this -> marked commit" and/or
"Diff marked commit -> this" menu items.
Even though 1.7.9.x series does not open the editor by default

push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward errors
Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:
1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.
2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.
3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.
Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

noticeable time (several seconds) for gitk to resolve short SHA1 IDs

gitk: Use symbolic font names "sans" and "monospace" when available
The following only concerns systems using X and the client-side font
rendering framework from freedesktop.org. Windows and Mac OS X are
not affected.
Starting with version 8.5, Tk uses freetype and fontconfig by default
to render fonts on platforms that support it. Gitk currently defaults
to the font Helvetica for the interface and Courier for diffs, and
both unfortunately look rather bad on screen in the default
configuration on many Linux distros with anti-aliasing and poor
hinting.
It is better to default to "sans" and "monospace", which are mapped by
fontconfig to some appropriate font of the sysadmin and user's
choosing (typically Bitstream Vera Sans and Mono). The result looks
more sensible and it makes gitk feel like a well-behaved software
citizen since its fonts match other native apps.
This patch does not change the appearance of gitk for users that have
already run it, since gitk uses the remembered UI and diff font names
from ~/.gitk.

The code to validate the history connectivity between old refs and new
refs used by fetch and receive-pack, introduced in 1.7.8, was grossly
inefficient and unnecessarily tried to re-validate integrity of individual
objects. This essentially reverts that performance regression.
Merge "two fixes for fast-import's 'ls' command" from Jonathan
Andrew Sayers noticed that the svn-fe | git fast-import pipeline
mishandles a subversion history that copies the root directory to a
sub-directory (e.g. doing `svn cp . trunk` to standardise your
layout). As David Barr explained, the bug arises when the following
command is sent to git fast-import:
'ls' SP ':1' SP LF
Instead of reading back what is at the root of r1, it unconditionally
reports the path as missing.
After sleeping on it, here are two patches for 'maint'. One plugs a
memory leak. The other ensures that trying to pass an empty path to
the 'ls' command results in an error message that can help the
frontend author instead of the silently broken conversion Andrew
found.
Then we can carefully add 'ls ""' support in 1.7.11.
* commit 'refs/pull-request-tags/jn/maint-fast-import-empty-ls':
fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty components

contrib/diffall: eliminate duplicate while loops
contrib/diffall: eliminate use of tar
contrib/diffall: create tmp dirs without mktemp
contrib/diffall: comment actual reason for 'cdup'
Git 1.7.8 introduced an object and history re-validation step after
"fetch" or "push" causes new history to be added to a receiving
repository. This is to protect a malicious server or pushing client from
corrupting the repository by taking advantage of an existing corrupt
object that is unconnected to existing history.
But this check is way over-pessimistic. During "fetch" or "receive-pack"
(the server side of "push"), unpack-objects and index-pack already
validate individual objects that are received, and the only thing we would
want to catch are corrupted objects that already happen to exist in our
repository but are not referenced from our refs. Such objects must have
been written by an earlier run of our codepaths that write out loose
objects or packfiles, and they must have done the validation of individual
objects when they did so. The only thing left to worry about is the
connectivity integrity, which can be checked with "rev-list --objects",
which is much cheaper. We have been paying the 5x to 8x runtime overhead
the --verify-objects often adds for no real gain.
Revert check_everything_connected() not to use this over-pessimistic
check.
Credit goes to Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy, who originally identified the
performance regression and endured multiple rounds of reviews to fix it.
clean: preserve nested git worktree in subdirectories
remove_dir_recursively() has a check to avoid removing the directory it
was asked to remove without recursing into it and report success when the
directory is the top level of a working tree of a nested git repository,
to protect such a repository from "clean -f" (without double -f). If a
working tree of a nested git repository is in a subdirectory of a toplevel
project, however, this protection did not apply by mistake; we forgot to
pass the REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT down to the recursive removal
codepath.
This requires us to also teach the higher level not to remove the
directory it is asked to remove, when the recursed invocation did not
remove the directory it was asked to remove due to a nested git
repository, as it is not an error to leave the parent directories of such
a nested repository.
notes-merge: Don't remove .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE; it may be the user's cwd
When a manual notes merge is committed or aborted, we need to remove the
temporary worktree at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. However, removing the
entire directory is not good if the user ran the 'git notes merge
--commit/--abort' from within that directory. On Windows, the directory
removal would simply fail, while on POSIX systems, users would suddenly
find themselves in an invalid current directory.
Therefore, instead of deleting the entire directory, we delete everything
_within_ the directory, and leave the (empty) directory in place.
This would cause a subsequent notes merge to abort, complaining about a
previous - unfinished - notes merge (due to the presence of
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE), so we also need to adjust this check to only
trigger when .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is non-empty.
Finally, adjust the t3310 manual notes merge testcases to correctly handle
the existence of an empty .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory.

notes-merge: use opendir/readdir instead of using read_directory()
notes_merge_commit() only needs to list all entries (non-recursively)
under a directory, which can be easily accomplished with
opendir/readdir and would be more lightweight than read_directory().
read_directory() is designed to list paths inside a working
directory. Using it outside of its scope may lead to undesired effects.
Apparently, one of the undesired effects of read_directory() is that it
doesn't deal with being given absolute paths. This creates problems for
notes_merge_commit() when git_path() returns an absolute path, which
happens when the current working directory is in a subdirectory of the
.git directory.

t3310: illustrate failure to "notes merge --commit" inside $GIT_DIR/
The 'git notes merge' command expected to be run from the working
tree of the project being annotated, and did not anticipate getting
run inside $GIT_DIR/.
However, because we use $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE as a temporary
working space for the user to work on resolving conflicts, it is not
unreasonable for a user to run "git notes merge --commit" there. But
the command fails to do so.

remove_dir_recursively(): Add flag for skipping removal of toplevel dir
Add the REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to remove_dir_recursively() for
deleting everything inside the given directory, but _not_ the given
directory itself.
Note that this does not pass the REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT flag, if set,
to the recursive invocations of remove_dir_recursively(). It is likely to
be a a bug that has been present since REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT was
introduced (a0f4afb), but this commit keeps the same behaviour for now.

t0303: resurrect commit message as test documentation
The commit message which added those tests (861444f 't: add test
harness for external credential helpers' 2011-12-10) provided nice
documentation in the commit message. Let's make it more visible
by putting it in the test description.
The documentation is updated to reflect the fact that
GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER must be set for
GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT to be used
and GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_SETUP can be used.

t0303: immediately bail out w/o GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER
t0300-credential-helpers.sh requires GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER to be
configured to do something sensible. If it is not set, prove will say:
./t0303-credential-external.sh .. skipped: (no reason given)
which isn't very nice.
Use skip_all="..." && test_done to bail out immediately and provide a
nicer message. In case GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER is set, but the
timeout tests are skipped, mention GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT.

Prior to this commit, the cleanup trap that removes the tmp dir
created by the script would fail on Windows. The error was silently
ignored by the script.
On Windows, a directory cannot be removed while it is the working
directory of the process (thanks to Johannes Sixt on the Git list
for this info [1]).
This commit eliminates the 'cd' into the tmp directory that caused
the error.
The 'tar' utility is not available on all platforms (some only support
'gnutar'). An earlier commit created a work-around for this problem,
but a better solution is to eliminate the use of 'tar' completely.
