gitweb: fix #patchNN anchors when path_info is enabled
When $feature{'pathinfo'} is used, gitweb script sets the base URL to
itself, so that relative links to static files work correctly. It
does it by adding something like below to HTML head:
<base href="http://HOST/gitweb.cgi">
This breaks the "patch" anchor links seen on the commitdiff pages,
because these links, being relative (<a href="#patch1">), are resolved
(computed) relative to the base URL and not relative to current URL,
i.e. as:
Add an "-anchor" parameter to href(), and use href(-anchor=>"patch1")
to generate "patch" anchor links, so that the full path is included in
the patch link.
While at it, convert
print "foo";
print "bar";
to
print "foo" .
"bar";
in the neighborhood of changes.

refs_from_alternate: helper to use refs from alternates
The receiving end of "git push" advertises the objects that the repository
itself does not use, but are at the tips of refs in other repositories
whose object databases are used as alternates for it. This helps it avoid
having to receive (and the pusher having to send) objects that are already
available to the receiving repository via the alternates mechanism.
Tweak the helper function that implements this feature, and move it to
transport.[ch] for future reuse by other programs.
The additional test demonstrates how this optimization is helping "git push",
and "git fetch" is ignorant about it.

Current gcc + glibc with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE try very aggressively to
protect against a programming style which uses write(...) without
checking the return value for errors. Even the usual hint of casting
to (void) does not suppress the warning.
Sometimes when there is an output error, especially right before exit,
there really is nothing to be done. The obvious solution, adopted in
v1.7.0.3~20^2 (run-command.c: fix build warnings on Ubuntu,
2010-01-30), is to save the return value to a dummy variable:
ssize_t dummy;
dummy = write(...);
But that (1) is ugly and (2) triggers -Wunused-but-set-variable
warnings with gcc-4.6 -Wall, so we are not much better off than when
we started.
Instead, use an "if" statement with an empty body to make the intent
clear.
if (write(...))
; /* yes, yes, there was an error. */

In the spirit of v1.5.0.2~21 (Check for PRIuMAX rather than

git-compat-util.h on all platforms instead of C99-specific formats
like %zu with dangerous fallbacks to %u or %lu.
So now C99-challenged platforms can build git without provoking
warnings or errors from printf, even if pointers do not have the same
size as an int or long.

Since v1.7.0-rc0~34 (make "mktag" a built-in, 2010-01-22), git mktag
uses the C99-style %td format to print ptrdiff_t values. It falls
back to %d when NO_C99_FORMAT is set, on the assumption that pre-C99
systems probably are using 32-bit pointers.
But many modern systems are 64-bit and
* sometimes one wants to test the NO_C99_FORMAT fallbacks using a
modern development platform;
* some platforms (I'm looking at you, msvc) have not gotten with the
program and are still C89-only.
These ptrdiff_t values are offsets from the beginning of a buffer, so
a size_t or uintmax_t would work about as well. Use the latter so we
can take advantage of the PRIuMAX fallback in git-compat-util.h, even
on C99-challenged systems with 64-bit pointers.

stash: copy the index using --index-output instead of cp -p
'git stash create' must operate with a temporary index. For this purpose,
it used 'cp -p' to create a copy. -p is needed to preserve the timestamp
of the index file. Now Jakob Pfender reported a certain combination of
a Linux NFS client, OpenBSD NFS server, and cp implementation where this
operation failed.
Luckily, the first operation in git-stash after copying the index is to
call 'git read-tree'. Therefore, use --index-output instead of 'cp -p'
to write the copy of the index.
--index-output requires that the specified file is on the same volume as
the source index, so that the lock file can be rename()d. For this reason,
the name of the temporary index is constructed in a way different from the
other temporary files. The code path of 'stash -p' also needs a temporary
index, but we do not use the new name because it does not depend on the
same precondition as --index-output.

diff --quiet: disable optimization when --diff-filter=X is used
The code notices that the caller does not want any detail of the changes
and only wants to know if there is a change or not by specifying --quiet.
And it breaks out of the loop when it knows it already found any change.
When you have a post-process filter (e.g. --diff-filter), however, the
path we found to be different in the previous round and set HAS_CHANGES
bit may end up being uninteresting, and there may be no output at the end.
The optimization needs to be disabled for such case.
Note that the f245194 (diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace"

from setting HAS_CHANGES when post-process filters that need to inspect

bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the

inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.

If the client requests both multi_ack_detailed and no-done then
upload-pack is free to immediately send a PACK following its first
'ACK %s ready' message. The upload-pack response actually winds
up being:
ACK %s common
... (maybe more) ...
ACK %s ready
NAK
ACK %s
PACK.... the pack stream ....
For smart HTTP connections this saves one HTTP RPC, reducing
the overall latency for a trivial fetch. For git:// and ssh://
a no-done option slightly reduces latency by removing one
server->client->server round-trip at the end of the common
ancestor negotiation.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
If enabled on the connection "multi_ack_detailed no-done" as a
pair allows the remote upload-pack process to send a PACK down
to the client as soon as a "ACK %s ready" message was also sent.
Over git:// and ssh:// where a bi-directional stream is in place
this has very little difference over the classical version that
waits for the client to send a "done\n" line by itself. It does
slightly reduce the latency involved to start the pack stream as
there is one less round-trip from client->server required.
Over smart HTTP this avoids needing to send a final RPC that has
all of the prior common objects. Instead the server is able to
return a pack as soon as its ready to. For many common users the
smart HTTP fetch is now just 2 requests: GET .../info/refs, and
a POST .../git-upload-pack to not only negotiate but also receive
the pack stream. Only users who have more than 32 local unshared
commits with the remote will need additional requests to negotiate
a common merge base.

upload-pack: More aggressively send 'ACK %s ready'
If a client is merely following the remote (and has not made any
new commits itself), all "have %s" lines sent by the client will be
common to the server. As all lines are common upload-pack never
calls ok_to_give_up() and does not compute if it has a good cut
point in the commit graph.
Without this computation the following client is going to send all
tagged commits, as these were determined to be COMMON_REF during the
initial advertisement, but the client does not parse their history
to transitively pass the COMMON flag and empty its queue of commits.
For git.git with 339 commit tags, it takes clients 11 rounds of
negotation to fully send all tagged commits and exhaust its queue
of things to send as common. This is pretty slow for a client that
has not done any local development activity.
Force computing ok_to_give_up() and send "ACK %s ready" at the end
of the current round if this round only contained common objects
and ok_to_give_up() was therefore not called. This may allow the
client to break early, avoiding transmission of the COMMON_REFs.

fetch-pack: Finish negotation if remote replies "ACK %s ready"
If multi_ack_detailed was selected in the protocol capabilities
(both client and server are >= Git 1.6.6) the upload-pack side will
send "ACK %s ready" when it knows how to safely cut the graph and
produce a reasonable pack for the want list that was already sent
on the connection.
Upon receiving "ACK %s ready" there is no point in looking at
the remaining commits inside of rev_list. Sending additional
"have %s" lines to the remote will not construct a smaller pack.
It is unlikely a commit older than the current cut point will have
a better delta base than the cut point itself has.
The original design of this code had fetch-pack empty rev_list by
marking a commit and its transitive ancestors COMMON whenever the
remote side said "ACK %s {continue,common}" and skipping over any
already COMMON commits during get_rev(). This approach does not
work when most of rev_list is actually COMMON_REF, commits that
are pointed to by a reference on the remote, which exist locally,
and which have not yet been sent to the remote as a "have %s" line.
Most of the common references are tags in the ref/tags namespace,
using points in the commit graph that are more than 1 commit apart.
In git.git itself, this is currently 340 tags, 339 of which point to
commits in the commit graph. fetch-pack pushes all of these into
rev_list, but is unable to mark them COMMON and discard during a
remote's "ACK %s {continue,common}" because it does not parse through
the entire parent chain. Not parsing the entire parent chain is
an optimization to avoid walking back to the roots of the repository.
Assuming the client is only following the remote (and does not make
its own local commits), the client needs 11 rounds to spin through
the entire list of tags (32 commits per round, ceil(339/32) == 11).
Unfortunately the server knows on the first "have %s" line that
it can produce a good pack, and does not need to see the remaining
320 tags in the other 10 rounds.
Over git:// and ssh:// this isn't as bad as it sounds, the client is
only transmitting an extra 16,000 bytes that it doesn't need to send.
Over smart HTTP, the client must do an additional 10 HTTP POST
requests, each of which incurs round-trip latency, and must upload
the entire state vector of all known common objects. On the final
POST request, this is 16 KiB worth of data.
Fix all of this by clearing rev_list as soon as the remote side
says it can construct a pack.

git stash: show status relative to current directory
git status shows modified paths relative to current directory, so it's
possible to copy&paste them directly, even if you're in a subdirectory.
But "git stash apply" always shows status from root of git repository.
This is misleading because you can't use the paths without modifications.
This is caused by changing directory to root of repository at the

There is a nice shortlog-ish output of the authors there. We
also point people directly to shortlog, but of course they
might be reading the documentation online or from a binary
package of git.
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.
These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.
We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.
This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.
doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages
The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can

This reverts commit 72a5b561fc1c4286bc7c5b0693afc076af261e1f, as adding
fixed number of hexdigits more than necessary to make one object name
locally unique does not help in futureproofing the uniqueness of names
we generate today.
While doing a final sanity check before merging a topic Bsomething, it
is a good idea to review what damage Bsomething branch would make, by
running:
$ git diff ...Bsomething
Unfortunately, our completion script for 'git diff' doesn't offer
anything after '...'. This is because 'git diff's completion function
invokes __git_complete_file() for non-option arguments to complete the
'<tree>:<path>' extended SHA-1 notation, but this helper function
doesn't support refs after '...' or '..'. Completion of refs after
'...' or '..' is supported by the __git_complete_revlist() helper
function, but that doesn't support '<tree>:<path>'.
To support both '...<ref>' and '<tree>:<path>' notations for 'git
diff', this patch, instead of adding yet another helper function,
joins __git_complete_file() and __git_complete_revlist() into the new
common function __git_complete_revlist_file(). The old helper
functions __git_complete_file() and __git_complete_revlist() are
changed to be a direct wrapper around the new
__git_complete_revlist_file(), because they might be used in
user-supplied completion scripts and we don't want to break them.
This change will cause some wrong suggestions for other commands which
use __git_complete_file() ('git diff' and friends) or
__git_complete_revlist() ('git log' and friends), e.g. 'git diff
...master:Doc<TAB>' and 'git log master:Doc<TAB>' will complete the
path to 'Documentation/', although neither commands make any sense.
However, both of these were actively wrong to begin with as soon as
the user entered the ':', so there is no real harm done.

Currently, commit marks (left, right, boundary, cherry) are output right
before the commit sha1, which makes it difficult to copy sha1s. Sample
output for "git log --oneline --cherry":
i18n: git-revert split up "could not revert/apply" message
Split up the "could not %s %s... %s" message into "could not revert
%s... %s" and "could not apply %s... %s". This makes it easier for
translators to understand the message.

Translate messages that use the `me' variable. These are all error
messages referencing the command name, so the name shouldn't be
translated.

Translate the "Your local changes [...]" message without using the
`me' variable, instead split up the two messages so translators can
translate the whole messages as-is.

Use sprintf format for the error message that's displayed if
GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE is invalid, and leave a note in a TRANSLATORS
comment indicating what the message means.
