push: enhance unspecified push default warning

When the unset push.default warning message is displayed this may be
the first time many users encounter push.default.

Explain in the warning message in a compact manner what push.default
is and what the change means to the end-user to help the users decide.

The second illustration that shows the history after "git pull"
spelled the remote-tracking branch with "remotes/" prefix, which
is not necessary. Drop it.

To match the assumption that a remote-tracking branch is used to
keep track of the advancement of the master at the origin, update
the first illustration that shows the history before "git pull"
to show the distinction between the master currently at origin and
the stale origin/master remote-tracking branch.

Fix '\%o' for printf from coreutilsKacper Kornet Thu, 31 Oct 2013 11:51:32 +0000 (12:51 +0100)

Fix '\%o' for printf from coreutils

The printf utility provided by coreutils when interpreting '\%o' format
does not recognize %o as formatting directive. For example
printf '\%o 0 returns \%o and warning: ignoring excess arguments,
starting with ‘0’, which results in failed tests in
t5309-pack-delta-cycles.sh. In most shells the test ends with success as
the printf is a builtin utility.

Fix it by using '\\%o' which is interpreted consistently in all versions
of printf.

t3200: do not open a HTML manual page when DEFAULT_MAN_... Johannes Sixt Sat, 26 Oct 2013 18:48:46 +0000 (20:48 +0200)

t3200: do not open a HTML manual page when DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT is html

We have the build configuration option DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT to choose a
format different from man pages to be used by 'git help' when no format
is requested explicitly. Since 65db0443 (Set the default help format to
html for msys builds, 2013-06-04) we use html on Windows by default.

There is one test in t3200-branch.sh that invokes a help page. The
intent of the redirections applied to the command invocation is to avoid
that the man page viewer interferes with the automated test. But when
the default format is not "man", this does not have the intended effect,
and the HTML manual page is opened during the test run. Request "man"
format explicitly to keep the test silent.

One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git

"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one

reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.

subtree: add makefile target for html docsJeff King Tue, 29 Oct 2013 16:30:37 +0000 (12:30 -0400)

subtree: add makefile target for html docs

The Makefile currently builds the roff manpage, but not the
html form. As some people may prefer the latter, let's make
it an option to build that, too. We also wire it into "make
doc" so that it is built by default.

This patch does not build or install it as part of
"install-doc"; that would require extra infrastructure to
handle installing the html as we do in git's regular
Documentation/ tree. That can come later if somebody is
interested.

Avoid difference in tr semantics between System V and BSDBen Walton Mon, 28 Oct 2013 21:43:00 +0000 (21:43 +0000)

Avoid difference in tr semantics between System V and BSD

Solaris' tr (both /usr/bin/ and /usr/xpg4/bin) uses the System V
semantics for tr whereby string1's length is truncated to the length
of string2 if string2 is shorter. The BSD semantics, as used by GNU tr
see string2 padded to the length of string1 using the final character
in string2. POSIX explicitly doesn't specify the correct behavior
here, making both equally valid.

This difference means that Solaris' native tr implementations produce
different results for tr ":\t\n" "\0" than GNU tr. This breaks a few
tests in t0008-ignores.sh.

Possible fixes for this are to make string2 be "\0\0\0" or "[\0*]".

Instead, use perl to perform these transliterations which means we
don't need to worry about the difference at all. Since we're replacing
tr with perl, we also use perl to replace the sed invocations used to
transform the files.

Replace four identical transforms with a function named
broken_c_unquote. Replace the other two identical transforms with a
fuction named broken_c_unquote_verbose.

for-each-ref: avoid loading objects to print %(objectname)Jeff King Wed, 30 Oct 2013 06:50:16 +0000 (02:50 -0400)

for-each-ref: avoid loading objects to print %(objectname)

If you ask for-each-ref to print each ref and its object,
like:

git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(refname)'

this should involve little more work than looking at the ref
files (and packed-refs) themselves. However, for-each-ref
will actually load each object from disk just to print its
sha1. For most repositories, this isn't a big deal, but it
can be noticeable if you have a large number of refs to
print. Here are best-of-five timings for the command above
on a repo with ~10K refs:

[before]
real 0m0.112s
user 0m0.092s
sys 0m0.016s

[after]
real 0m0.014s
user 0m0.012s
sys 0m0.000s

This patch checks for %(objectname) and %(objectname:short)
before we actually parse the object (and the rest of the
code is smart enough to avoid parsing if we have filled all
of our placeholders).

Note that we can't simply move the objectname parsing code
into the early loop. If the "deref" form %(*objectname) is
used, then we do need to parse the object in order to peel
the tag. So instead of moving the code, we factor it out
into a separate function that can be called for both cases.

While we're at it, we add some basic tests for the
dereferenced placeholders, which were not tested at all
before. This helps ensure we didn't regress that case.

cvsserver: Determinize output to combat Perl 5.18 hash randomization

Perl 5.18 randomizes the seed used by its hash function, so iterating
through hashes results in different orders from run to run:
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5180delta.html#Hash-overhaul

This usually broke t9400 (gitcvs.dbname, gitcvs.ext.dbname, when
running cmp on two .sqlite files) and t9402 (check [cvswork3] diff,
when running test_cmp on two diffs).

To fix this, hide the internal order of hashes with sort when sending
output or running database queries.

(An alternative workaround is PERL_HASH_SEED=0, but this seems nicer.)

t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicableJeff King Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:23:03 +0000 (21:23 -0400)

t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.

This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:

ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test

which continues to pass even after this patch.

t: provide a perl() function which uses $PERL_PATHJeff King Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:22:07 +0000 (21:22 -0400)

t: provide a perl() function which uses $PERL_PATH

Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.

Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.

Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.

Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.

Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:

ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test

which fails before this patch, and passes after.

t/README: tests can use perl even with NO_PERL

The git build system supports a NO_PERL switch to avoid installing
perl bindings or other features (like "git add --patch") that rely on
perl on runtime, but even with NO_PERL it has not been possible for a
long time to run tests without perl. Helpers such as

nul_to_q () {
"$PERL_PATH" -pe 'y/\000/Q/'
}

use perl as a better tr or sed and are regularly used in tests without
worrying to add a PERL prerequisite.

Perl is portable enough that it seems fine to keep relying on it for
this kind of thing in tests (and more readable than the alternative of
trying to find POSIXy equivalents). Update the test documentation to
clarify this.

Windows: a test_cmp that is agnostic to random LF <> CRLF conversions

In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.

Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.

reset: pass real rev name to add--interactive

The add--interactive --patch mode adjusts the UI based on
whether we are pulling changes from HEAD or elsewhere (in
the former case it asks to unstage the reverse hunk, rather
than apply the forward hunk).

Commit 166ec2e taught reset to work on an unborn branch, but
in doing so, switched to always providing add--interactive
with the sha1 rather than the symbolic name. This meant we
always used the "apply" interface, even for "git reset -p
HEAD".

We can fix this by passing the symbolic name to
add--interactive. Since it understands unborn branches
these days, we do not even have to cover this special case
ourselves; we can simply pass HEAD.

The tests in t7105 now check that the right interface is
used in each circumstance (and notice the regression from
166ec2e we are fixing). The test in t7106 checks that we
get this right for the unborn case, too (not a regression,
since it didn't work at all before, but a nice improvement).

checkout_entry(): clarify the use of topath[] parameter

The said function has this signature:

extern int checkout_entry(struct cache_entry *ce,
const struct checkout *state,
char *topath);

At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry()
can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last
parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type.

In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the
temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this
function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than
the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c.

Document the code a bit to clarify so that future callers know how
to use the function better.
