imap-send: remove dead code

The imap-send code was adapted from another project, and
still contains many unused bits of code. One of these bits
contains a type "struct string_list" which bears no
resemblence to the "struct string_list" we use elsewhere in
git. This causes the compiler to complain if git's
string_list ever becomes part of cache.h.

Let's just drop the dead code.

request-pull: explicitly ask tags/$name to be pulled

When asking for a tag to be pulled, disambiguate by leaving tags/ prefix
in front of the name of the tag. E.g.

... in the git repository at:

git://example.com/git/git.git/ tags/v1.2.3

for you to fetch changes up to 123456...

This way, older versions of "git pull" can be used to respond to such a
request more easily, as "git pull $URL v1.2.3" did not DWIM to fetch
v1.2.3 tag in older versions. Also this makes it clearer for humans that
the pull request is made for a tag and he should anticipate a signed one.

git-completion: workaround zsh COMPREPLY bugFelipe Contreras Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:37:02 +0000 (03:37 +0200)

git-completion: workaround zsh COMPREPLY bug

zsh adds a backslash (foo\ ) for each item in the COMPREPLY array if IFS
doesn't contain spaces. This issue has been reported[1], but there is no
solution yet.

This wasn't a problem due to another bug[2], which was fixed in zsh
version 4.3.12. After this change, 'git checkout ma<tab>' would resolve
to 'git checkout master\ '.

Aditionally, the introduction of __gitcomp_nl in commit a31e626
(completion: optimize refs completion) in git also made the problem
apparent, as Matthieu Moy reported.

The simplest and most generic solution is to hide all the changes we do
to IFS, so that "foo \nbar " is recognized by zsh as "foo bar". This
works on versions of git before and after the introduction of
__gitcomp_nl (a31e626), and versions of zsh before and after 4.3.12.

Once zsh is fixed, we should conditionally disable this workaround to
have the same benefits as bash users.

submodule add: fix breakage when re-adding a deep submoduleJens Lehmann Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:49:56 +0000 (22:49 +0100)

submodule add: fix breakage when re-adding a deep submodule

Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there.

When the same submodule is added on a branch where it wasn't present so
far (it is not found in the .gitmodules file), the name is not initialized
from the path as it should. This leads to a wrong path entered in the
gitfile when the .git/modules/<name> directory is found, as this happily
uses the - now empty - name. It then always points only a single directory
up, even if we have a path deeper in the directory hierarchy.

Fix that by initializing the name of the submodule early in module_clone()
if module_name() returned an empty name and add a test to catch that bug.

mergetool: Provide an empty file when needed

Some merge tools cannot cope when $LOCAL, $BASE, or $REMOTE are missing.
$BASE can be missing when two branches independently add the same
filename.

Provide an empty file to make these tools happy.

When a delete/modify conflict occurs, $LOCAL and $REMOTE can also be
missing. We have special case code to handle such case so this change
may not affect that codepath, but try to be consistent and create an
empty file for them anyway.

grep: fix -l/-L interaction with decoration lines

In threaded mode, git-grep emits file breaks (enabled with context, -W
and --break) into the accumulation buffers even if they are not
required. The output collection thread then uses skip_first_line to
skip the first such line in the output, which would otherwise be at
the very top.

This is wrong when the user also specified -l/-L/-c, in which case
every line is relevant. While arguably giving these options together
doesn't make any sense, git-grep has always quietly accepted it. So
do not skip anything in these cases.

remote-curl: Fix push status report when all branches... Shawn O. Pearce Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:12:09 +0000 (19:12 -0800)

remote-curl: Fix push status report when all branches fail

The protocol between transport-helper.c and remote-curl requires
remote-curl to always print a blank line after the push command
has run. If the blank line is ommitted, transport-helper kills its
container process (the git push the user started) with exit(128)
and no message indicating a problem, assuming the helper already
printed reasonable error text to the console.

However if the remote rejects all branches with "ng" commands in the
report-status reply, send-pack terminates with non-zero status, and
in turn remote-curl exited with non-zero status before outputting
the blank line after the helper status printed by send-pack. No
error messages reach the user.

This caused users to see the following from git push over HTTP
when the remote side's update hook rejected the branch:

$ git push http://... master
Counting objects: 4, done.
Delta compression using up to 6 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 301 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
$

Always print a blank line after the send-pack process terminates,
ensuring the helper status report (if it was output) will be
correctly parsed by the calling transport-helper.c. This ensures
the helper doesn't abort before the status report can be shown to
the user.

Making pathspec limited log play nicer with --first... Junio C Hamano Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:58:45 +0000 (11:58 -0800)

Making pathspec limited log play nicer with --first-parent

In a topic branch workflow, you often want to find the latest commit that
merged a side branch that touched a particular area of the system, so that
a new topic branch to work on that area can be forked from that commit.
For example, I wanted to find an appropriate fork-point to queue Luke's
changes related to git-p4 in contrib/fast-import/.

"git log --first-parent" traverses the first-parent chain, and "-m --stat"
shows the list of paths touched by commits including merge commits. We
could ask the question this way:

# What is the latest commit that touched that path?
$ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat master |
sed -e '/^ contrib\/fast-import\/git-p4 /q' | tail

The above finds that 8cbfc11 (Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates',
2012-01-06) was such a commit.

But a more natural way to spell this question is this:

$ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat -1 master -- \
contrib/fast-import/git-p4

Unfortunately, this does not work. It finds ecb7cf9 (git-p4: rewrite view
handling, 2012-01-02). This commit is a part of the merged topic branch
and is _not_ on the first-parent path from the 'master':

$ git show-branch 8cbfc11 ecb7cf9
! [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
! [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling
--
- [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
+ [8cbfc11^2] git-p4: view spec documentation
++ [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling

The problem is caused by the merge simplification logic when it inspects
the merge commit 8cbfc11. In this case, the history leading to the tip of
'master' did not touch git-p4 since 'pw/p4-view-updates' topic forked, and
the result of the merge is simply a copy from the tip of the topic branch
in the view limited by the given pathspec. The merge simplification logic
discards the history on the mainline side of the merge, and pretends as if
the sole parent of the merge is its second parent, i.e. the tip of the
topic. While this simplification is correct in the general case, it is at
least surprising if not outright wrong when the user explicitly asked to
show the first-parent history.

Here is an attempt to fix this issue, by not allowing us to compare the
merge result with anything but the first parent when --first-parent is in
effect, to avoid the history traversal veering off to the side branch.

diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_trees

The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation
modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths.
For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the
output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order
to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive
field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure
when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when
we have wildcards in the pathspec.

The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to
match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we
updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching
logic.

credential-cache: ignore "connection refused" errors

The credential-cache helper will try to connect to its
daemon over a unix socket. Originally, a failure to do so
was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if
performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new
daemon (for a "store" operation).

But since 8ec6c8d, we try to report more errors. We detect a
missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection
attempt. If the daemon is missing, we continue as before
(giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error,
we die and report the problem.

However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing
daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon
process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't
happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon
may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss,
"kill -9").

The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper
outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually
blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the
stale socket.

Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED.

Two "^" characters were incorrectly being interpreted as markup for
superscripting. Fix them by writing them as attribute references
"{caret}".

Although a single "^" character in a paragraph cannot be
misinterpreted in this way, also write other "^" characters as
"{caret}" in the interest of good hygiene (unless they are in literal
paragraphs, of course, in which context attribute references are not
recognized).

Spell "{}" consistently, namely *not* quoted as "\{\}". Since the
braces are empty, they cannot be interpreted as an attribute
reference, and either spelling is OK. So arbitrarily choose one
variation and use it consistently.

thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects... Jeff King Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:32:34 +0000 (17:32 -0500)

thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as base

When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try
to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate
for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg
is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it
is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did
not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack.

As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's
law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record
the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta
against it.

When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we
will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer. But
the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us
from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another
object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a
suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we
could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred
base object) as the delta base.

Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on
computing delta against a preferred base object.

The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack
workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git
origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git
updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much
larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to
v1.2.0, and so on.

The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU
time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch:

dataset
| reflog | tags
---------------------------------
before | 53358 | 2750977
size after | 32398 | 2668479
change | -39% | -3%
---------------------------------
before | 0.18 | 1.12
CPU after | 0.18 | 1.15
change | +0% | +3%

This patch makes a much bigger difference for packs with a shorter slice
of history (since its effect is seen at the boundaries of the pack) though
it has some benefit even for larger packs.

word-diff: ignore '\ No newline at eof' markerThomas Rast Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:15:33 +0000 (12:15 +0100)

word-diff: ignore '\ No newline at eof' marker

The word-diff logic accumulates + and - lines until another line type
appears (normally [ @\]), at which point it generates the word diff.
This is usually correct, but it breaks when the preimage does not have
a newline at EOF:

$ printf "%s" "a a a" >a
$ printf "%s\n" "a ab a" >b
$ git diff --no-index --word-diff a b
diff --git 1/a 2/b
index 9f68e94..6a7c02f 100644
--- 1/a
+++ 2/b
@@ -1 +1 @@
[-a a a-]
No newline at end of file
{+a ab a+}

Because of the order of the lines in a unified diff

@@ -1 +1 @@
-a a a
\ No newline at end of file
+a ab a

the '\' line flushed the buffers, and the - and + lines were never
matched with each other.

A proper fix would defer such markers until the end of the hunk.
However, word-diff is inherently whitespace-ignoring, so as a cheap
fix simply ignore the marker (and hide it from the output).

We use a prefix match for '\ ' to parallel the logic in
apply.c:parse_fragment(). We currently do not localize this string
(just accept other variants of it in git-apply), but this should be
future-proof.

git-cvsexportcommit: Fix calling Perl's rel2abs() on MSYS

Due to MSYS path mangling GIT_DIR contains a Windows-style path when
checked inside a Perl script even if GIT_DIR was previously set to an
MSYS-style path in a shell script. So explicitly convert to an MSYS-style
path before calling Perl's rel2abs() to make it work.

This fix was inspired by a very similar patch in WebKit:

unix-socket: do not let close() or chdir() clobber... Jonathan Nieder Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:50:10 +0000 (17:50 -0600)

unix-socket: do not let close() or chdir() clobber errno during cleanup

unix_stream_connect and unix_stream_listen return -1 on error, with
errno set by the failing underlying call to allow the caller to write
a useful diagnosis.

Unfortunately the error path involves a few system calls itself, such
as close(), that can themselves touch errno.

This is not as worrisome as it might sound. If close() fails, this
just means substituting one meaningful error message for another,
which is perfectly fine. However, when the call _succeeds_, it is
allowed to (and sometimes might) clobber errno along the way with some
undefined value, so it is good higiene to save errno and restore it
immediately before returning to the caller. Do so.

to remove those strings.

request-pull: use the real fork point when preparing the message

The command takes the "start" argument and computes the merge base
between it and the commit to be pulled so that we can show the diffstat,
but uses the "start" argument as-is when composing the message

The following changes since commit $X are available

to tell the integrator which commit the work is based on. Giving "origin"
(most of the time it resolves to refs/remotes/origin/master) as the start
argument is often convenient, but it is usually not the fork point, and
does not help the integrator at all.

Use the real fork point, which is the merge base we already compute, when
composing that part of the message.

attr: drop misguided defensive coding

In prepare_attr_stack, we pop the old elements of the stack
(which were left from a previous lookup and may or may not
be useful to us). Our loop to do so checks that we never
reach the top of the stack. However, the code immediately
afterwards will segfault if we did actually reach the top of
the stack.

Fortunately, this is not an actual bug, since we will never
pop all of the stack elements (we will always keep the root
gitattributes, as well as the builtin ones). So the extra
check in the loop condition simply clutters the code and
makes the intent less clear. Let's get rid of it.

attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directoriesJeff King Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:08:21 +0000 (13:08 -0500)

attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directories

When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path,
we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup
(because it is common to do several lookups in the same
directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in
preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to
directories we are no longer interested in.

For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for:

foo/bar/baz
foo/bar
foo

but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want
to pop the top element, but retain the others.

To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping
elements that do not match our lookup directory. However,
the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would
mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of
"foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character
after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path
component.

There are two special cases to consider:

1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we
must not check for '/', but rather special-case the
empty path, which always matches.

2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would
also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the
character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in
this case, though, because our path string is actually
just the directory component of the path to a file
(i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the
filename comes after that).

credential-cache: report more daemon connection errors

Originally, this code remained relatively silent when we
failed to connect to the cache. The idea was that it was
simply a cache, and we didn't want to bother the user with
temporary failures (the worst case is that we would simply
ask their password again).

However, if you have a configuration failure or other
problem, it is helpful for the daemon to report those
problems. Git will happily ignore the failed error code, but
the extra information to stderr can help the user diagnose
the problem.

unix-socket: handle long socket pathnamesJeff King Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:44:30 +0000 (23:44 -0500)

unix-socket: handle long socket pathnames

On many systems, the sockaddr_un.sun_path field is quite
small. Even on Linux, it is only 108 characters. A user of
the credential-cache daemon can easily surpass this,
especially if their home directory is in a deep directory
tree (since the default location expands ~/.git-credentials).

We can hack around this in the unix-socket.[ch] code by
doing a chdir() to the enclosing directory, feeding the
relative basename to the socket functions, and then
restoring the working directory.

This introduces several new possible error cases for
creating a socket, including an irrecoverable one in the
case that we can't restore the working directory. In the
case of the credential-cache code, we could perhaps get away
with simply chdir()-ing to the socket directory and never
coming back. However, I'd rather do it at the lower level
for a few reasons:

1. It keeps the hackery behind an opaque interface instead
of polluting the main program logic.

2. A hack in credential-cache won't help any unix-socket
users who come along later.

3. The chdir trickery isn't that likely to fail (basically
it's only a problem if your cwd is missing or goes away
while you're running). And because we only enable the
hack when we get a too-long name, it can only fail in
cases that would have failed under the previous code
anyway.

In test 'blame --textconv with local changes' of t8006-blame-textconv,
using /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (as set by SANE_TOOL_PATH), an additional
newline was added to the output from the 'helper' script.

This was noted by sed with a message such as:
sed: Missing newline at end of file zero.bin.

Sed then exits with status 2 causing the helper script to also exit
with status 2.

In turn, this was triggering a fatal error from git blame:
fatal: unable to read files to diff

To work around this difference in sed behaviour, use perl -p instead
of sed -e as it exits cleanly and does not insert the additional
newline.

However, it is not marked as such in the code, which means

wrapper is killed by a signal, the child process will continue to run.
This is different from internal commands, which always die with the git

run-command: optionally kill children on exitJeff King Sat, 7 Jan 2012 11:42:43 +0000 (12:42 +0100)

run-command: optionally kill children on exit

When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.

In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).

This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:

1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.

2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).

PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

And always release the string buffer.

t5541: avoid TAP test miscounting

lib-terminal.sh runs a test and thus increases the test count, but the
output is lost so that TAP produces a "no plan found error".

Move the lib-terminal call after the lib-httpd and make TAP happy
(though still leave me clueless).

fix push --quiet: add 'quiet' capability to receive-pack

Currently, git push --quiet produces some non-error output, e.g.:

$ git push --quiet
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.

This fixes a bug reported for the fedora git package:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725593

Commit 90a6c7d4 (propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-pack)
introduced the --quiet option to receive-pack and made send-pack
pass that option. Older versions of receive-pack do not recognize
the option, however, and terminate immediately. The commit was
therefore reverted.

This change instead adds a 'quiet' capability to receive-pack,
which is a backwards compatible.

In addition, this fixes push --quiet via http: A verbosity of 0
means quiet for remote helpers.

server_supports(): parse feature list more carefullyJunio C Hamano Sun, 8 Jan 2012 21:06:19 +0000 (22:06 +0100)

server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully

We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.

Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the
clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace
letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters
e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces,
but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).
