This patch fixes sq_expand() and show_differences() not to use and
hold onto its privately allocated buffer, which was a misguided
attempt to reduce calls to malloc but made later changes harder.

Add the simple scripts I used to do a merge with content conflicts.
They sure as hell aren't perfect, but they allow you to do:
./git-pull-script {other-git-directory}
to do the initial merge, and if that had content clashes, you do
merge-cache ./git-merge-one-file-script -a
which tries to auto-merge. When/if the auto-merge fails, it will
leave the last file in your working directory, and you can edit
it and then when you're happy you can do "update-cache filename"
on it. Re-do the merge-cache thing until there are no files left
to be merged, and now you can write the tree and commit:
[PATCH] fix bug in read-cache.c which loses files when merging a tree
I noticed this when I tried a non-trivial scsi merge and checked the
results against BK. The problem is that remove_entry_at() actually
decrements active_nr, so decrementing it in add_cache_entry() before
calling remove_entry_at() is a double decrement (hence we lose cache
entries at the end).
This ports fsck-cache to use parsing functions. Note that performance
could be improved here by only reading each object once, but this requires
somewhat more complicated flow control.

[PATCH] Fix confusing behaviour of update-cache --refresh on unmerged paths.
The "update-cache --refresh" command attempts refresh_entry()
on unmerged path, which results in as many "needs update" messages
as there are unmerged stages for that path. This does not do
any harm to the working directory, but it is confusing.
Here is a fix.

Do a very simple "merge-base" that finds the most recent common
parent of two commits.
The question of "best" commit can probably be tweaked almost arbitrarily.
In particular, trying to take things like how big the tree differences
are into account migt be a good idea. This one is just very simple.
- mark_reachable() can be more generic, marking the reachable revisions
with an arbitrary mask.
- date parsing will parse to a date of 0 rather than ULONG_MAX for the
bad old case, sorting the dates correctly.
The function index_fd() in update-cache.c takes 5 arguments, but
two is not necessary and one that is a pointer to a structure
really needs to be a pointer to one member of that structure.
This patch cleans it up.
Also it removes printf() apparently left after initial
debugging.

[PATCH] Better error message from checkout-cache for unmerged files.

Fix total permission bogosity in "checkout-cache.c".
Use the proper octal mode naming instead of random decimal
crud, and don't reset the mode after the create with fchmod:
the whole point was to let "umask" do its thing.
[PATCH] update-cache --remove marks the path merged.
When update-cache --remove is run, resolve unmerged state for
the path. This is consistent with the update-cache --add
behaviour. Essentially, the user is telling us how he wants to
resolve the merge by running update-cache.

Fixed to do the right thing at the end.
[PATCH] Do not run useless show-diff on unmerged paths repeatedly.
When run on unmerged dircache, show-diff compares the working
file with each non-empty stage for that path. Two out of three
times, this is not very helpful. This patch makes it report the
unmergedness only once per each path and avoids running the
actual diff.
Upper layer SCMs like Cogito are expected to find out mode/SHA1
for each stage by using "show-files --stage" and run the diff
itself. This would result in more sensible diffs.

The command line for running "diff" command is built without
taking shell metacharacters into account. A malicious dircache
entry "foo 2>bar" (yes, a filename with space) would result in
creating a file called "bar" with the error message "diff: foo:
No such file or directory" in it.
This is not just a user screwing over himself. Such a dircache
can be created as a result of a merge with tree from others.
Here is a fix.

[PATCH] show-diff -z option for machine readable output.
This patch adds the -z option to the show-diff command,
primarily for use by scripts. The information emitted is
similar to that of -q option, but in a more machine readable
form. Records are terminated with NUL instead of LF, so that
the scripts can deal with pathnames with embedded newlines.

before.

ls-tree unconditionally called read_sha1_file() for all paths
even when not needed, which was a mistake introduced by me.
Rectify this by first checking S_ISDIR(mode) and read the tree
contents only when it is a tree and we are recursive. There is
no need to read it in any other cases.
The patch also removes the confusing comment that led to this
incorrect implementation.

It's there in the history if somebody wants to resurrect it, but it
seems to have been successfully superceded by the new and improved
index-merge thing, where we do all merging entirely in the index.
Make 'read-tree' do a few more of the trivial merge cases.
This cuts down the work for the "real merge" to stuff where
people might actually disagree on the algorithm. The trivial
cases would seem to be totally independent of any policy.
[PATCH] Add --stage to show-files for new stage dircache.

[PATCH] Byteorder fix for read-tree, new -m semantics version.
The ce_namelen field has been renamed to ce_flags and split into
the top 2-bit unused, next 2-bit stage number and the lowest
12-bit name-length, stored in the network byte order. A new
macro create_ce_flags() is defined to synthesize this value from
length and stage, but it forgets to turn the value into the
network byte order. Here is a fix.

Make "read-tree" merge the trees it reads by giving them consecutive states.
Normally you'd use state 0 for the "merged" state, and start out with
state 1 being "origin", state 2 being "first tree" and state 3 being
"second tree".
Once all the index entries are back in state 0, we have a successful
merge and can write the result tree back.
This adds the '-q' option for show-diff.c to squelch complaints for
missing files.
It is handy if you want to run it in the merge temporary directory after
running merge-trees with its minimum checkout mode, which is the
default, because you would not find any files other than the ones that
needs human validation after the merge there.
It also fixes the argument parsing bug Paul Mackerras noticed in
<16991.42305.118284.139777@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com> but slightly
differently.

Convert the index file reading/writing to use network byte order.
This allows using a git tree over NFS with different byte order, and
makes it possible to just copy a fully populated repository and have
the end result immediately usable (needing just a refresh to update
the stat information).
[PATCH] Simplify date handling and make it more reliable
This make all dates be stores as seconds since UTC epoch, with the
author's or committer's timezone as auxiliary data so that dates can be
pretty-printed in the original timezone later if anyone cares. I left
the date parsing in rev-tree.c for backward compatibility but it can be
dropped when we change to base64 :)
commit-tree now eats RFC2822 dates as AUTHOR_DATE because that's
what you're going to want to feed it.
Yes, glibc sucks and strptime is a pile of crap. We have to parse it
ourselves.
This adds '-r' (recursive) option and '-z' (NUL terminated)
option to ls-tree. I need it so that the merge-trees (formerly
known as git-merge.perl) script does not need to create any
temporary dircache while merging. It used to use show-files on
a temporary dircache to get the list of files in the ancestor
tree, and also used the dircache to store the result of its
automerge. I probably still need it for the latter reason, but
with this patch not for the former reason anymore.
Use common "revision.h" header for both fsck and rev-tree.
It's really a very generic thing: the notion of one sha1 revision
referring to another one. "fsck" uses it for all nodes, and "rev-tree"
only tracks commit-node relationships, but the code was already
the same - now we just make that explicit by moving it to a common
header file.
Make 'fsck' able to take an arbitrary number of parents on the
command line.
"arbitrary" is a bit wrong, since it is limited by the argument
size limit (128kB or so), but let's see if anybody ever cares.
Arguably you should prune your tree before you have a few thousand
dangling heads in your archive.
We can fix it by passing in a file listing if we ever care.
Changes diff-tree output format so that fields are separated by tabs instead of
spaces (readibility, parseability), and tree entry type is listed along the
entry (avoids having to figure that out from the mode in the scripts).
It seems like the nsec portability is limited; in particular, older
glibcs (<=2.2.4 at least) don't seem to like it. So access the nsec
fields in struct stat only when -DNSEC.
Ancient cat-file command used to leave temp_git_file_* and there
was support to remove them in the clean target of Makefile. I
do not think it is needed anymore.

The nsec field of ctime/mtime is now checked only with -DNSEC defined during
compilation. nsec acts broken since it is stored in the icache but apparently
just gets to zero when flushed to filesystem not supporting it (e.g. ext3),
creating illusions of false changes. At least that's my impression.
ls-tree tool provides just a way to export the binary tree objects
to a usable text format. This is bound to be useful in variety
of scripts, although none of those I have currently uses it.
But e.g. the simple script I've sent to HPA for purging the object
database uses it.
This patch adds a -s flag for show-diff, which will surpress the
actual diffing. This is useful for my scripts when they just want
to see what needs to be updated in the cache.
To do the automated commit-mailing I need to be able to answer the
question "which commits are here today but weren't yesterday"... i.e.
given two commit-ids $HEAD and $YESTERDAY I want to be able to do:
rev-tree $HEAD ^$YESTERDAY
to list those commits which are in the tree now but weren't
ancestors of yesterday's head.
Yes, I could probably do this with
rev-tree $HEAD $YESTERDAY | egrep -v ^[a-z0-9]*:3
but I prefer not to.
[PATCH] show-diff show deleted files as diff as well.
The ideas is that using the show-diff to generate the
patch including deleted and new file (in the next patch).
So we don't have to do the temp new file diff dance on the
script.
The cache index now contain enough information to generate
the whole patch. So the GIT SCM don't need separate command
for check out file to edit or delete. Just do the edit and
remove and GIT will generate the correct patch.
Make the rev-tree output more regular. This is the last
change. Promise.
It now always outputs all the revisions as <sha1>:<reachability>, where the
reachability is the bitmask of how that revision was reachable from the
commits in the argument list.
Trivially, if there is only one commit, the reachability will always be
(1 << 0) == 1 for all reachable revisions, and there won't be any edges
(so the "--edges" flag only makes sense with multiple commit keys).
Add a "rev-tree" helper, which calculates the revision
tree graph.
It's quite fast when the commit-objects are cached, but since
it has to walk every single commit-object, it also allows you
to cache an old state and just add on top of that.
After all, if you want to not allow others to read your
stuff, set your "umask" appropriately or make sure the
parent directories aren't readable/executable.
