The thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/257392
details problems when applying patches with "git am" in a repository with
CRLF line endings. In the example in the thread, the repository originated
from "git-svn" so it is not possible to use core.eol and friends on it.
Right now, the best option is to use "git am --keep-cr". However, when
a patch create new files, the patch application process will reject the
new file because it finds a "/dev/null\r" string instead of "/dev/null".
The problem is that SMTP transport is CRLF-unsafe. Sending a patch by
email is the same as passing it through "dos2unix | unix2dos". The newly
introduced CRLFs are normally transparent because git-am strips them. The
keepcr=true setting preserves them, but it is mostly working by chance
and it would be very problematic to have a "git am" workflow in a
repository with mixed LF and CRLF line endings.
The MIME solution to this is the quoted-printable transfer enconding.
This is not something that we want to enable by default, since it makes
received emails horrible to look at. However, it is a very good match
for projects that store CRLF line endings in the repository.
The only disadvantage of quoted-printable is that quoted-printable
patches fail to apply if the maintainer uses "git am --keep-cr". This
is because the decoded patch will have two carriage returns at the end
of the line. Therefore, add support for base64 transfer encoding too,
which makes received emails downright impossible to look at outside
a MUA, but really just works.
The patch covers all bases, including users that still live in the late
80s, by also providing a 7bit content transfer encoding that refuses
to send emails with non-ASCII character in them. And finally, "8bit"
will add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header but otherwise do nothing.

git-compat-util.h: don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on cygwin
A recent update to the gcc compiler (v4.8.3-5 x86_64) on 64-bit
cygwin leads to several new warnings about the implicit declaration
of the memmem(), strlcpy() and strcasestr() functions. For example:
CC archive.o
archive.c: In function 'format_subst':
archive.c:44:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'memmem' \
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
b = memmem(src, len, "$Format:", 8);
^
archive.c:44:5: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer \
without a cast [enabled by default]
b = memmem(src, len, "$Format:", 8);
^
This is because <string.h> on Cygwin used to always declare the
above functions, but a recent version of it no longer make them
visible when _XOPEN_SOURCE is set (even if _GNU_SOURCE and
_BSD_SOURCE is set).
In order to suppress the warnings, don't define the _XOPEN_SOURCE

In their effort to emulate POSIX as close as possible, the MSYS tools
and Cygwin treat the file name "foo.exe" as "foo" when the latter is
asked for, but not present, but the former is present.
Following this rule, 'cp /bin/sh a/bin' actually copies the file
/bin/sh.exe, so that we now have a/bin/sh.exe in the repository. This
difference did not matter in the tests in the past because we were only
interested in the equality of contents generated in various ways. But
recently added tests check file names, in particular, the presence of
"a/bin/sh". This test fails on Windows, as we do not have a file by this
name, but "a/bin/sh.exe".
Use test-genrandom to generate the large binary file in the repository
under the expected name.
We could change the guilty line to 'cat /bin/sh >a/bin/sh', but it is
better for test reproducibility to ensure that the test data is the same
across platforms, which test-genrandom can guarantee.

We require use of test_must_fail to check expected non-zero exit by
Git itself, but discourage test_must_fail to be used for checking
exit status of non Git commands that are supplied by the system.
The current text explains the reason for the former but not the
latter.
There are general guidelines for writing good tests in t/README
but neither SubmittingPatches nor CodingGuidelines refers to it,
which makes the document easy to be missed.
mergetool--lib: remove no-op assignment to $status from setup_user_tool
Even though setup_user_tool assigns the exit status from "eval
$merge_tool_cmd" to $status, the variable is overwritten by the
function it calls next, check_unchanged, without ever getting looked
at by anybody. And "return $status" at the end of this function
returns the value check_unchanged assigned to it (which is the same
as the value the function returns). Which makes the assignment a
no-op.
Some file systems do not support the executable bit:
a) The user executable bit is always 0, e.g. VFAT mounted with
-onoexec
b) The user executable bit is always 1, e.g. cifs mounted with
-ofile_mode=0755
c) There are system where user executable bit is 1 even if it
should be 0 like b), but the file mode can be maintained
locally. chmod -x changes the file mode from 0766 to 0666,
until the file system is unmounted and remounted and the file
mode is 0766 again.
This been observed when a Windows machine with NTFS exports a share to
Mac OS X via smb or afp.
Case a) and b) are handled by the current code. Case c) qualifies
as "non trustable executable bit" and core.filemode should be false,
but this is currently not done.
Detect when ".git/config" has the user executable bit set after
creat(".git/config", 0666) and set core.filemode to false. Because
the permission bits on the file is whatever the end user already had
when we are asked to reinitialise an existing repository, and do not

"git add foo bar" adds neither foo nor bar when bar is ignored, but dies

"git add --ignore-errors" is supposed to ignore errors when indexing
some files and adds the others. It does ignore errors from actual

outlined above. This is unexpected.
Change "git add foo bar" to add foo when bar is ignored, but issue
a warning and return a failure code as before the change.

way (with or without "--ignore-errors") in which we act for more

Until now, the highlighting colors were hard-coded in the
script (as "reverse" and "noreverse"), and you had to edit
the script to change them. This patch teaches diff-highlight
to read from color.diff-highlight.* to set them.
In addition, it expands the possiblities considerably by
adding two features:
1. Old/new lines can be colored independently (so you can
use a color scheme that complements existing line
coloring).
2. Normal, unhighlighted parts of the lines can be colored,
too. Technically this can be done by separately
configuring color.diff.old/new and matching it to your
diff-highlight colors. But you may want a different
look for your highlighted diffs versus your regular

parse_color: recognize "no$foo" to clear the $foo attribute
You can turn on ANSI text attributes like "reverse" by
putting "reverse" in your color spec. However, you cannot
ask to turn reverse off.
For common cases, this does not matter. You would turn on
"reverse" at the start of a colored section, and then clear
all attributes with a "reset". However, you may wish to turn
on some attributes, then selectively disable others. For
example:
git log --format="%C(bold ul yellow)%h%C(noul) %s"
underlines just the hash, but without the need to re-specify
the rest of the attributes. This can also help third-party
programs, like contrib/diff-highlight, that want to turn
some attribute on/off without disrupting existing coloring.
Note that some attribute specifications are probably
nonsensical (e.g., "bold nobold"). We do not bother to flag
such constructs, and instead let the terminal sort it out.

When we parse a color name like "red" into its ANSI color
value, we pack the storage into a single int that may take
on many values:
1. If it's "-2", no value has been specified.
2. If it's "-1", the value is "normal" (i.e., no color).
3. If it's 0 through 7, the value is a standard ANSI
color.
4. If it's larger (up to 255), it is a 256-color extended
value.
Given these magic numbers, it is often hard to see what is
going on in the code. Let's refactor this into a struct with
a flag that tells which scheme we are using, along with a
numeric value. This is more verbose, but should hopefully be
simpler to follow. It will also allow us to easily add
support for more schemes, like 24-bit RGB values.
The result is also slightly less efficient to store, but
that's OK; we only store this intermediate state during the
parse, after which we write out the actual ANSI bytes.

config: fix parsing of "git config --get-color some.key -1"
Most of git-config's command line options use OPT_BIT to
choose an action, and then parse the non-option arguments
in a context-dependent way. However, --get-color and
--get-colorbool are unlike the rest of the options, in that
they are OPT_STRING, taking the option name as a parameter.
This generally works, because we then use the presence of
those strings to set an action bit anyway. But it does mean
that the option-parser will continue looking for options
even after the key (because it is not a non-option; it is an
argument to an option). And running:
git config --get-color some.key -1
(to use "-1" as the default color spec) will barf, claiming
that "-1" is not an option. Instead, we should treat
--get-color and --get-colorbool as action bits, just like
--add, --get, and all the other actions, and then check that
the non-option arguments we got are sane. This fixes the
weirdness above, and makes those two options like all the
others.
This "fixes" a test in t4026, which checked that feeding
"-2" as a color should fail (it does fail, but prior to this
patch, because parseopt barfed, not because we actually ever
tried to parse the color).
This also catches other errors, like:
git config --get-color some.key black blue
which previously silently ignored "blue" (and now will
complain that you gave too many arguments).
There are some possible regressions, though. We now disallow
these, which currently do what you would expect:
# specifying other options after the action
git config --get-color some.key --file whatever
# using long-arg syntax
git config --get-color=some.key
However, we have never advertised these in the
documentation, and in fact they did not work in some older
versions of git. The behavior was apparently switched as an
accidental side effect of d64ec16 (git config: reorganize to
use parseopt, 2009-02-21).

lock_ref_sha1_basic is inconsistent about when it calls
die() and when it returns NULL to signal an error. This is
annoying to any callers that want to recover from a locking
error.
This seems to be mostly historical accident. It was added in 4bd18c4 (Improve abstraction of ref lock/write.,
2006-05-17), which returned an error in all cases except
calling safe_create_leading_directories, in which case it
died. Later, 40aaae8 (Better error message when we are
unable to lock the index file, 2006-08-12) asked
hold_lock_file_for_update to die for us, leaving the
resolve_ref code-path the only one which returned NULL.
We tried to correct that in 5cc3cef (lock_ref_sha1(): do not
sometimes error() and sometimes die()., 2006-09-30),
by converting all of the die() calls into returns. But we
missed the "die" flag passed to the lock code, leaving us
inconsistent. This state persisted until e5c223e
(lock_ref_sha1_basic(): if locking fails with ENOENT, retry,
2014-01-18). Because of its retry scheme, it does not ask
the lock code to die, but instead manually dies with
unable_to_lock_die().
We can make this consistent with the other return paths by
converting this to use unable_to_lock_message(), and
returning NULL. This is safe to do because all callers
already needed to check the return value of the function,
since it could fail (and return NULL) for other reasons.

gitweb: hack around CGI's list-context param() handling
As of CGI.pm's 4.08 release, the behavior to call
CGI::param() in a list context is deprecated (because it can
be potentially unsafe if called inside a hash constructor).
This causes gitweb to issue a warning for some of our code,
which in turn causes the tests to fail.
Our use is in fact _not_ one of the dangerous cases, as we
are intentionally using a list context. The recommended
route by 4.08 is to use the new CGI::multi_param() call to
make it explicit that we know what we are doing.
However, that function is only available in 4.08, which is
about a month old; we cannot rely on having it.
One option would be to set $CGI::LIST_CONTEXT_WARN globally,
which turns off the warning. However, that would eliminate
the protection these newer releases are trying to provide.
We want to annotate each site as OK using the new function.
So instead, let's check whether CGI provides the
multi_param() function, and if not, provide an
implementation that just wraps param(). That will work on
both old and new versions of CGI. Sadly, we cannot just
check defined(\&CGI::multi_param), because CGI uses the
autoload feature, which claims that all functions are
defined. Instead, we just do a version check.

approxidate: allow ISO-like dates far in the future
When we are parsing approxidate strings and we find three
numbers separate by one of ":/-.", we guess that it may be a
date. We feed the numbers to match_multi_number, which
checks whether it makes sense as a date in various orderings
(e.g., dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy, etc).
One of the checks we do is to see whether it is a date more
than 10 days in the future. This was added in 38035cf (date
parsing: be friendlier to our European friends.,
2006-04-05), and lets us guess that if it is currently April
2014, then "10/03/2014" is probably March 10th, not October
3rd.
This has a downside, though; if you want to be overly
generous with your "--until" date specification, we may
wrongly parse "2014-12-01" as "2014-01-12" (because the
latter is an in-the-past date). If the year is a future year
(i.e., both are future dates), it gets even weirder. Due to
the vagaries of approxidate, months _after_ the current date
(no matter the year) get flipped, but ones before do not.
This patch drops the "in the future" check for dates of this
form, letting us treat them always as yyyy-mm-dd, even if
they are in the future. This does not affect the normal
dd/mm/yyyy versus mm/dd/yyyy lookup, because this code path
only kicks in when the first number is greater than 70
(i.e., it must be a year, and cannot be either a date or a
month).
The one possible casualty is that "yyyy-dd-mm" is less
likely to be chosen over "yyyy-mm-dd". That's probably OK,
though because:
1. The difference happens only when the date is in the
future. Already we prefer yyyy-mm-dd for dates in the
past.
2. It's unclear whether anybody even uses yyyy-dd-mm
regularly. It does not appear in lists of common date
formats in Wikipedia[1,2].
3. Even if (2) is wrong, it is better to prefer ISO-like
dates, as that is consistent with what we use elsewhere
in git.
checkout $tree: do not throw away unchanged index entries
When we "git checkout $tree", we pull paths from $tree into
the index, and then check the resulting entries out to the
worktree. Our method for the first step is rather
heavy-handed, though; it clobbers the entire existing index
entry, even if the content is the same. This means we lose
our stat information, leading checkout_entry to later
rewrite the entire file with identical content.
Instead, let's see if we have the identical entry already in
the index, in which case we leave it in place. That lets
checkout_entry do the right thing. Our tests cover two
interesting cases:
1. We make sure that a file which has no changes is not
rewritten.
2. We make sure that we do update a file that is unchanged
in the index (versus $tree), but has working tree
changes. We keep the old index entry, and
checkout_entry is able to realize that our stat
information is out of date.

The approxidate functions accept an extra "now" parameter to
avoid calling time() themselves. We use this in our test
suite to make sure we have a consistent time for computing
relative dates. However, deep in the bowels of approxidate,
we also call time() to check whether possible dates are far
in the future. Let's make sure that the "now" override makes
it to that spot, too, so we can consistently test that
feature.

The test misused a URL "file://." to mean "relative to here",
which we no longer accept.
In a file:// URL, typically there is no host, and RFC1738 says that
file:///<path> should be used.
Update t5705 to use a working URL.

builtin/notes: add --allow-empty, to allow storing empty notes
Although the "git notes" man page advertises that we support binary-safe
notes addition (using the -C option), we currently do not support adding
the empty note (i.e. using the empty blob to annotate an object). Instead,
an empty note is always treated as an intent to remove the note
altogether.
Introduce the --allow-empty option to the add/append/edit subcommands,
to explicitly allow an empty note to be stored into the notes tree.
Also update the documentation, and add test cases for the new option.

builtin/notes: split create_note() to clarify add vs. remove logic
create_note() has a non-trivial interface, and comprises three loosely
related parts:
1. launching the editor with the note contents, if needed
2. appending to an existing note, if append_only was given
3. adding or removing the resulting note, based on whether it's non-empty
Split it along those lines to make the logic clearer: The first part
goes into a new function - prepare_note_data(), with a simpler interface.
The second part is moved into append_edit(), which is the only user of
this code. Finally, the add vs. remove decision is moved into the callers
(add() and append_edit()), keeping the logic for writing the actual note
object in a separate function: write_note_data().

In preparation for some needed refactoring, rename struct msg_arg to
struct note_data, and rename its instances from "msg" to "d" (also
removing some unnecessary parentheses). The 'msg_arg' name was
inherited from tag.c, but is not really a good name for the contents
of a note.
Also rename write_note_data() to copy_obj_to_fd(), which more aptly
describes what it actually does: Copying the contents of a git object
(given by its SHA1) into a given file descriptor.

builtin/notes: fix premature failure when trying to add the empty blob
This fixes a small buglet when trying to explicitly add the empty blob
as a note object using the -c or -C option to git notes add/append.
Instead of failing with a nonsensical error message indicating that the
empty blob does not exist, we should rather behave as if an empty notes
message was given (e.g. using -m "" or -F /dev/null).
The next patch contains a test that verifies the fixed behavior.

Convert users of struct child_process to using the managed argv_array
args instead of providing their own. This shortens the code a bit and
ensures that the allocated memory is released automatically after use.
