Since 664059fb (transport-helper: update remote helper namespace,
2013-04-17), a 'push' operation on a remote helper updates the
private ref by default. This is often a good thing, but it can also
be desirable to disable this update to force the next 'pull' to
re-import the pushed revisions.
Allow remote-helpers to disable the automatic update by introducing a new
capability.

gitweb: Fix the author initials in blame for non-ASCII names
Change the @author_initials feature Jakub added in v1.6.4-rc2-14-ga36817b to match non-ASCII author initials as intended.
The regexp Jakub added was intended to match
non-ASCII (/\b([[:upper:]])\B/g). But in Perl this doesn't actually
match non-ASCII upper-case characters unless the string being matched
against has the UTF8 flag.
So when we open a pipe to "git blame" we need to mark the file
descriptor we're opening as utf8 explicitly.
So as a result it abbreviates me to "AB" not "ÆAB", entirely because "Æ"
isn't /[[:upper:]]/ unless the string being matched against has the UTF8
flag.
Here's something that demonstrates the issue:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
binmode STDOUT, ':utf8' if $ENV{UTF8};
open my $fd, "-|", "git", "blame", "--incremental", "--", "Makefile" or die "Can't open: $!";
binmode $fd, ":utf8" if $ENV{UTF8};
while (my $line = <$fd>) {
next unless my ($author) = $line =~ /^author (.*)/;
my @author_initials = ($author =~ /\b([[:upper:]])\B/g);
printf "%s (%s)\n", join("", @author_initials), $author;
}
When that's run with and without UTF8 being true in the environment it
gives, on git.git:

has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up
When we read a sha1 file, we first look for a packed
version, then a loose version, and then re-check the pack
directory again before concluding that we cannot find it.
This lets us handle a process that is writing to the
repository simultaneously (e.g., receive-pack writing a new
pack followed by a ref update, or git-repack packing
existing loose objects into a new pack).
However, we do not do the same trick with has_sha1_file; we
only check the packed objects once, followed by loose
objects. This means that we might incorrectly report that we
do not have an object, even though we could find it if we
simply re-checked the pack directory.
By itself, this is usually not a big deal. The other process
is running simultaneously, so we may run has_sha1_file
before it writes, anyway. It is a race whether we see the
object or not. However, we may also see other things
the writing process has done (like updating refs); and in
that case, we must be able to also see the new objects.
For example, imagine we are doing a for_each_ref iteration,
and somebody simultaneously pushes. Receive-pack may write
the pack and update a ref after we have examined the
objects/pack directory, but before the iteration gets to the
updated ref. When we do finally see the updated ref,
for_each_ref will call has_sha1_file to check whether the
ref is broken. If has_sha1_file returns the wrong answer, we
erroneously will think that the ref is broken.
For a normal iteration without DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN,
this means that the caller does not see the ref at all
(neither the old nor the new value). So not only will we
fail to see the new value of the ref (which is acceptable,
since we are running simultaneously with the writer, and we
might well read the ref before the writer commits its
write), but we will not see the old value either. For
programs that act on reachability like pack-objects or
prune, this can cause data loss, as we may see the objects
referenced by the original ref value as dangling (and either
omit them from the pack, or delete them via prune).
There's no test included here, because the success case is
two processes running simultaneously forever. But you can
replicate the issue with:
# base.sh
# run this in one terminal; it creates and pushes
# repeatedly to a repository
git init parent &&
(cd parent &&
# create a base commit that will trigger us looking at
# the objects/pack directory before we hit the updated ref
echo content >file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m base &&
# set the unpack limit abnormally low, which
# lets us simulate full-size pushes using tiny ones
git config receive.unpackLimit 1
) &&
git clone parent child &&
cd child &&
n=0 &&
while true; do
echo $n >file && git add file && git commit -m $n &&
git push origin HEAD:refs/remotes/child/master &&
n=$(($n + 1))
done
# fsck.sh
# now run this simultaneously in another terminal; it
# repeatedly fscks, looking for us to consider the
# newly-pushed ref broken. We cannot use for-each-ref
# here, as it uses DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN, which
# skips the has_sha1_file check (and if it wants
# more information on the object, it will actually read
# the object, which does the proper two-step lookup)
cd parent &&
while true; do
broken=`git fsck 2>&1 | grep remotes/child`
if test -n "$broken"; then
echo $broken
exit 1
fi
done
Without this patch, the fsck loop fails within a few seconds
(and almost instantly if the test repository actually has a
large number of refs). With it, the two can run
indefinitely.

The text mentions core.pager and GIT_PAGER without giving the
overall picture of precedences. Borrow a better description from
the git-var(1) documentation.
The use of the mechanism to allow system-wide, global and
per-repository configuration files is not limited to this particular
variable. Remove it to clarify the paragraph.
Rewrite the part that explains how the environment variable LESS is
set to Git's default value, and how to selectively customize it.
Commit 4337b58 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index,
2012-07-28) added a safety check preventing git from writing
null sha1s into the index. The intent was to catch errors in
other parts of the code that might let such an entry slip
into the index (or worse, a tree).
Some existing repositories may have invalid trees that
contain null sha1s already, though. Until 4337b58, a common
way to clean this up would be to use git-filter-branch's
index-filter to repair such broken entries. That now fails
when filter-branch tries to write out the index.
Introduce a GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 environment variable to
relax this check and make it easier to recover from such a
history.
It is tempting to not involve filter-branch in this commit
at all, and instead require the user to manually invoke
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git filter-branch ...
to perform an index-filter on a history with trees with null
sha1s. That would be slightly safer, but requires some
specialized knowledge from the user. So let's set the
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 variable automatically when checking out
the to-be-filtered trees. Advice on using filter-branch to
remove such entries already exists on places like
stackoverflow, and this patch makes it Just Work again on
recent versions of git.
Further commands that touch the index will still notice and
fail, unless they actually remove the broken entries. A
filter-branch whose filters do not touch the index at all
will not error out (since we complain of the null sha1 only
on writing, not when making a tree out of the index), but
this is acceptable, as we still print a loud warning, so the
problem is unlikely to go unnoticed.

mailmap: handle mailmap blobs without trailing newlines
The read_mailmap_buf function reads each line of the mailmap
using strchrnul, like:
const char *end = strchrnul(buf, '\n');
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + 1;
But that's off-by-one when we actually hit the NUL byte; our
line does not have a terminator, and so is only "end - buf"
bytes long. As a result, when we subtract the linelen from
the total len, we end up with (unsigned long)-1 bytes left
in the buffer, and we start reading random junk from memory.
We could fix it with:
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + !!*end;
but let's take a step back for a moment. It's questionable
in the first place for a function that takes a buffer and
length to be using strchrnul. But it works because we only
have one caller (and are only likely to ever have this one),
which is handing us data from read_sha1_file. Which means
that it's always NUL-terminated.
Instead of tightening the assumptions to make the
buffer/length pair work for a caller that doesn't actually
exist, let's let loosen the assumptions to what the real
caller has: a modifiable, NUL-terminated string.
This makes the code simpler and shorter (because we don't
have to correlate strchrnul with the length calculation),
correct (because the code with the off-by-one just goes
away), and more efficient (we can drop the extra allocation
we needed to create NUL-terminated strings for each line,
and just terminate in place).

config: do not use C function names as struct members
According to C99, section 7.1.4:
Any function declared in a header may be additionally
implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
header.
Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc"
may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call:
char c = cf->fgetc(cf);
This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines
fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure.
The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways:
1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like
macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is
undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to
remember to use it (and on systems without the macro,
forgetting will compile just fine).
2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must
also be providing fgetc as a function). This is
undesirable because presumably the implementation was
using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are
dropping that optimization.
Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.

must take extra care upon completion to restore $EDITOR in order to
avoid breaking following tests. This places extra burden upon such tests

fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified
fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:
- shallow_lock is set up
- alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
"shallow.lock"
- commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
same memory.
At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.
Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails
on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with:
error: read from external filter cat failed
error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat
error: cat died of signal 13
error: external filter cat failed 141
error: external filter cat failed
The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked
to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of
nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction
[2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the
32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also
imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].
Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.
The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The
new test catches read and write problems.
Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.

bash prompt: test the prompt with newline in repository path
Newlines in the path to a git repository were not an issue for the
git-specific bash prompt before commit efaa0c1532 (bash prompt:
combine 'git rev-parse' executions in the main code path, 2013-06-17),
because the path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir' was directly
stored in a variable, and this variable was later always accessed
inside double quotes.
Newlines are not an issue after commit efaa0c1532 either, but it's
more subtle. Since efaa0c1532 we use the following single 'git
rev-parse' execution to query various info about the repository:
The results to these queries are separated by a newline character in
the output, e.g.:
/home/szeder/src/git/.git
false
false
true
A newline in the path to the git repository could potentially break
the parsing of these results and ultimately the bash prompt, unless
the parsing is done right. Commit efaa0c1532 got it right, as I
consciously started parsing 'git rev-parse's output from the end,
where each record is a single line containing either 'true' or 'false'
or, after e3e0b9378b (bash prompt: combine 'git rev-parse' for
detached head, 2013-06-24), the abbreviated commit object name, and
all what remains at the beginning is the path to the git repository,
no matter how many lines it is.
This subtlety really warrants its own test, especially since I didn't
explain it in the log message or in an in-code comment back then, so
add a test to excercise the prompt with newline characters in the path
to the repository. Guard this test with the FUNNYNAMES prerequisite,
because not all filesystems support newlines in filenames. Note that
'git rev-parse --git-dir' prints '.git' or '.' when at the top of the
worktree or the repository, respectively, and only prints the full
path to the repository when in a subdirectory, hence the need for

create_delta_index: simplify condition always evaluating to true
The code sequence ' (1u << i) < hsize && i < 31 ' is a multi step
process, whose first step requires that 'i' is already less that 31,
otherwise the result (1u << i) is undefined (and 'undef_val < hsize'
can therefore be assumed to be 'false'), and so the later test i < 31
can always be optimized away as dead code ('i' is already less than 31,
or the short circuit 'and' applies).
So we need to get rid of that code. One way would be to exchange the
order of the conditions, so the expression 'i < 31 && (1u << i) < hsize'
would remove that optimized unstable code already.
However when checking the previous lines in that function, we can deduce
that 'hsize' must always be smaller than (1u<<31), since 506049c7df2c6
(fix >4GiB source delta assertion failure), because 'entries' is
capped at an upper bound of 0xfffffffeU, so 'hsize' contains a maximum
value of 0x3fffffff, which is smaller than (1u<<31), so the value of
'i' will never be larger than 31 and we can remove that condition
entirely.

t3010: update to demonstrate "ls-files -k" optimization pitfalls
An earlier draft of the previous step used cache_name_exists() to
check the directory we were looking at, which missed the second case
described in its log message. Demonstrate why it is not sufficient.
ls-files -k: a directory only can be killed if the index has a non-directory
"ls-files -o" and "ls-files -k" both traverse the working tree down
to find either all untracked paths or those that will be "killed"
(removed from the working tree to make room) when the paths recorded
in the index are checked out. It is necessary to traverse the
working tree fully when enumerating all the "other" paths, but when
we are only interested in "killed" paths, we can take advantage of
the fact that paths that do not overlap with entries in the index
can never be killed.
The treat_one_path() helper function, which is called during the
recursive traversal, is the ideal place to implement an
optimization.
When we are looking at a directory P in the working tree, there are
three cases:
(1) P exists in the index. Everything inside the directory P in
the working tree needs to go when P is checked out from the
index.
(2) P does not exist in the index, but there is P/Q in the index.
We know P will stay a directory when we check out the contents
of the index, but we do not know yet if there is a directory
P/Q in the working tree to be killed, so we need to recurse.
(3) P does not exist in the index, and there is no P/Q in the index
to require P to be a directory, either. Only in this case, we
know that everything inside P will not be killed without
recursing.
Note that this helper is called by treat_leading_path() that decides
if we need to traverse only subdirectories of a single common
leading directory, which is essential for this optimization to be
correct. This caller checks each level of the leading path
component from shallower directory to deeper ones, and that is what
allows us to only check if the path appears in the index. If the
call to treat_one_path() weren't there, given a path P/Q/R, the real
traversal may start from directory P/Q/R, even when the index
records P as a regular file, and we would end up having to check if
any leading subpath in P/Q/R, e.g. P, appears in the index.
dir.c: use the cache_* macro to access the current index
These codepaths always start from the_index and use index_*
functions, but there is no reason to do so. Use the compatibility
cache_* macro to access the current in-core index like everybody
else.
While at it, fix typo in the comment for a function to check if a
path within a directory appears in the index.
This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it
does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u}
applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it
shouldn't.
The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic
can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing
use cases for now for the upcoming release.
Revert "git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directory"
This reverts commit a73653130edd6a8977106d45a8092c09040f9132, as it
has been reported that "ls-files --killed" is too time-consuming in
a deep directory with too many untracked crufts (e.g. $HOME/.git
tracking only a few files).
We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be
optimized before it happens.
Before overwriting the destination index, first let's discard its
contents.

A handful of past contributors are recorded with multiple e-mail

- From the beginning of push.c in 755225d, 2006-04-29, "thin" option
was enabled by default but could be turned off with --no-thin.
- Then Shawn changed the default to 0 in favor of saving server
resources in a4503a1, 2007-09-09. --no-thin worked great.
- One day later, in 9b28851 Daniel extracted some code from push.c to
create transport.c. He (probably accidentally) flipped the default
value from 0 to 1 in transport_get().
From then on --no-thin is effectively no-op because git-push still
expects the default value to be false and only calls
transport_set_option() when "thin" variable in push.c is true (which
is unnecessary). Correct the code to respect --no-thin by calling
transport_set_option() in both cases.
receive-pack learns about --reject-thin-pack-for-testing option,
which only is for testing purposes, hence no document update.

git-contacts invokes git-blame once for each patch hunk it encounters.
No attempt is made to consolidate invocations for multiple hunks
referencing the same file at the same revision. This can become
expensive quickly.
Reduce the number of git-blame invocations by taking advantage of the
ability to specify multiple -L ranges for a single invocation.
Without this patch, on a randomly chosen range of commits:
contacts: gather all blame sources prior to invoking git-blame
git-contacts invokes git-blame immediately upon encountering a patch
hunk. No attempt is made to consolidate invocations for multiple hunks
referencing the same file at the same revision. This can become
expensive quickly.
Any effort to reduce the number of times git-blame is run will need to
to know in advance which line ranges to blame per file per revision.
Make this information available by collecting all sources as a distinct
step from invoking git-blame. A subsequent patch will utilize the
information to optimize git-blame invocations.

Rather than calling get_blame() with a zero-length hunk only to have it
rejected immediately, perform hunk-length validation earlier in order to
avoid calling get_blame() unnecessarily.
This is a preparatory step to simplify later patches which reduce the
number of git-blame invocations by collecting together all lines to
blame within a single file at a particular revision. By validating the
blame range early, the subsequent patch can more easily avoid adding
empty ranges at collection time.

Encourage new users to use 'log' instead. These days, these
commands are unified and just have different defaults.
'git log' only allowed you to view the log messages and no diffs
when it was added in early June 2005. It was only in early April
2006 that the command learned to take diff options. Because of
this, power users tended to use 'whatchanged' that already existed
since mid May 2005 and supported diff options.
core-tutorial: trim the section on Inspecting Changes
Back when the core tutorial was written, `log` and `whatchanged`
were scripted Porcelains. In the "Inspecting Changes" section that
talks about the plumbing commands in the diff family, it made sense
to use `log` and `whatchanged` as good examples of the use of these
plumbing commands, and because even these scripted Porcelains were
novelty (there wasn't the new end-user tutorial written), it made
some sense to illustrate uses of the `git log` (and `git
whatchanged`) scripted Porcelain commands.
But we no longer have scripted `log` and `whatchanged` to serve as
examples, and this document is not where the end users learn what
`git log` command is about. Stop at briefly mentioning the
possibility of combining rev-list with diff-tree to build your own
log, and leave the end-user documentation of `log` to the new
tutorial and the user manual.
Also resurrect the last version of `git-log`, `git-whatchanged`, and
`git-show` to serve as examples to contrib/examples/ directory.
While at it, remove 'whatchanged' from a list of sample commands
that are affected by GIT_FLUSH environment variable. This is not
meant to be an exhaustive list but as a list of typical ones, and an
old command that is kept primarily for backward compatibility does
not belong to it.

If we have an old organization (v1.8.3), and want to upgrade to a newer
one (v1.8.4), the user would have to fetch the whole repository, instead
we can just move the repository, so the user would not notice any
difference.

6796d49 (remote-hg: use a shared repository store) introduced a bug by
making the shared repository '.git/hg', which is already used before
that patch, so clones that happened before that patch, fail after that
patch, because there's no shared Mercurial repo.
So, instead of simply checking if the directory exists, let's always try
to create an empty shared repository to ensure it's there. This works
because we don't need the initial clone, if the repository is shared,
pulling from the child updates the parent's storage; it's exactly the
same as cloning, so we can simplify the shared repo setup this way while
at the same time fixing the problem.

remote-hg: fix path when cloning with tilde expansion

doesn't consider tilde expansion, so that scenario fails throwing an
exception because /home/myuser/~/my/repository doesn't exists:
$ git clone hg::~/my/repository && cd repository && git fetch
Expand the tilde when checking if the path is absolute, so that we don't
fix a path that doesn't need to be.
