Just as we have "%(upstream)" to report the "@{upstream}"
for each ref, this patch adds "%(push)" to match "@{push}".
It supports the same tracking format modifiers as upstream
(because you may want to know, for example, which branches
have commits to push).

In a triangular workflow, each branch may have two distinct
points of interest: the @{upstream} that you normally pull
from, and the destination that you normally push to. There
isn't a shorthand for the latter, but it's useful to have.
For instance, you may want to know which commits you haven't
pushed yet:
git log @{push}..
Or as a more complicated example, imagine that you normally
pull changes from origin/master (which you set as your
@{upstream}), and push changes to your own personal fork
(e.g., as myfork/topic). You may push to your fork from
multiple machines, requiring you to integrate the changes
from the push destination, rather than upstream. With this
patch, you can just do:
git rebase @{push}
rather than typing out the full name.
The heavy lifting is all done by branch_get_push; here we
just wire it up to the "@{push}" syntax.

Now that most of the logic for our local get_upstream_branch
has been pushed into the generic branch_get_upstream, we can
fold the remainder into interpret_upstream_mark.
Furthermore, what remains is generic to any branch-related
"@{foo}" we might add in the future, and there's enough
boilerplate that we'd like to reuse it. Let's parameterize
the two operations (parsing the mark and computing its
value) so that we can reuse this for "@{push}" in the near
future.

In a triangular workflow, the place you pull from and the
place you push to may be different. As we have
branch_get_upstream for the former, this patch adds
branch_get_push for the latter (and as the former implements
@{upstream}, so will this implement @{push} in a future
patch).
Note that the memory-handling for the return value bears
some explanation. Some code paths require allocating a new
string, and some let us return an existing string. We should
provide a consistent interface to the caller, so it knows
whether to free the result or not.
We could do so by xstrdup-ing any existing strings, and
having the caller always free. But that makes us
inconsistent with branch_get_upstream, so we would prefer to
simply take ownership of the resulting string. We do so by
storing it inside the "struct branch", just as we do with
the upstream refname (in that case we compute it when the
branch is created, but there's no reason not to just fill
it in lazily in this case).

remote.c: return upstream name from stat_tracking_info
After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to
print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the
tracking count). To do this, they have to access
branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the
return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we
have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we
make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream
name.
Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller
know the upstream name we found.
As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return
from the function. We no longer need to use it to
differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref
does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for
that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for
success/error.

remote.c: untangle error logic in branch_get_upstream
The error-diagnosis logic in branch_get_upstream was copied
straight from sha1_name.c in the previous commit. However,
because we check all error cases and upfront and then later
diagnose them, the logic is a bit tangled. In particular:
- if branch->merge[0] is NULL, we may end up dereferencing
it for an error message (in practice, it should never be
NULL, so this is probably not a triggerable bug).
- We may enter the code path because branch->merge[0]->dst
is NULL, but we then start our error diagnosis by
checking whether our local branch exists. But that is
only relevant to diagnosing missing merge config, not a
missing tracking ref; our diagnosis may hide the real
problem.
Instead, let's just use a sequence of "if" blocks to check
for each error type, diagnose it, and return NULL.

rebase -i: fix post-rewrite hook with failed exec command
Usually, when 'git rebase' stops before completing the rebase, it is to
give the user an opportunity to edit a commit (e.g. with the 'edit'
command). In such cases, 'git rebase' leaves the sha1 of the commit being
rewritten in "$state_dir"/stopped-sha, and subsequent 'git rebase
--continue' will call the post-rewrite hook with this sha1 as <old-sha1>
argument to the post-rewrite hook.
The case of 'git rebase' stopping because of a failed 'exec' command is
different: it gives the opportunity to the user to examine or fix the
failure, but does not stop saying "here's a commit to edit, use
--continue when you're done". So, there's no reason to call the
post-rewrite hook for 'exec' commands. If the user did rewrite the
commit, it would be with 'git commit --amend' which already called the
post-rewrite hook.
Fix the behavior to leave no stopped-sha file in case of failed exec
command, and teach 'git rebase --continue' to skip record_in_rewritten if
no stopped-sha file is found.

rebase -i: demonstrate incorrect behavior of post-rewrite
The 'exec' command is sending the current commit to stopped-sha, which is
supposed to contain the original commit (before rebase). As a result, if

current commit as <old-sha1> to the post-rewrite hook.

remote.c: report specific errors from branch_get_upstream
When the previous commit introduced the branch_get_upstream
helper, there was one call-site that could not be converted:
the one in sha1_name.c, which gives detailed error messages
for each possible failure.
Let's teach the helper to optionally report these specific
errors. This lets us convert another callsite, and means we
can use the helper in other locations that want to give the
same error messages.
The logic and error messages come straight from sha1_name.c,
with the exception that we start each error with a lowercase
letter, as is our usual style (note that a few tests need
updated as a result).

Before the previous commit, we had to make sure that
read_config() was called before entering remote_get_1,
because we needed to pass pushremote_name by value. But now
that we pass a function, we can let remote_get_1 handle
loading the config itself, turning our wrappers into true
one-liners.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When remote.c loads its config, it records the
branch.*.pushremote for the current branch along with the
global remote.pushDefault value, and then binds them into a
single value: the default push for the current branch. We
then pass this value (which may be NULL) to remote_get_1
when looking up a remote for push.
This has a few downsides:
1. It's confusing. The early-binding of the "current
value" led to bugs like the one fixed by 98b406f
(remote: handle pushremote config in any order,
2014-02-24). And the fact that pushremotes fall back to
ordinary remotes is not explicit at all; it happens
because remote_get_1 cannot tell the difference between
"we are not asking for the push remote" and "there is
no push remote configured".
2. It throws away intermediate data. After read_config()
finishes, we have no idea what the value of
remote.pushDefault was, because the string has been
overwritten by the current branch's
branch.*.pushremote.
3. It doesn't record other data. We don't note the
branch.*.pushremote value for anything but the current
branch.
Let's make this more like the fetch-remote config. We'll
record the pushremote for each branch, and then explicitly
compute the correct remote for the current branch at the
time of reading.

remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"
When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:
1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
with looking at remote_name instead.
2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
"struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
the duration of the operation.
So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).
So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?
If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.
And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions
will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback
behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.
Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in
helper functions.

When we call branch_get() to lookup or create a "struct
branch", we make sure the "merge" field is filled in so that
callers can access it. But the conditions under which we do
so are a little confusing, and can lead to two funny
situations:
1. If there's no branch.*.remote config, we cannot provide
branch->merge (because it is really just an application
of branch.*.merge to our remote's refspecs). But
branch->merge_nr may be non-zero, leading callers to be
believe they can access branch->merge (e.g., in
branch_merge_matches and elsewhere).
It doesn't look like this can cause a segfault in
practice, as most code paths dealing with merge config
will bail early if there is no remote defined. But it's
a bit of a dangerous construct.
We can fix this by setting merge_nr to "0" explicitly
when we realize that we have no merge config. Note that
merge_nr also counts the "merge_name" fields (which we
_do_ have; that's how merge_nr got incremented), so we
will "lose" access to them, in the sense that we forget
how many we had. But no callers actually care; we use
merge_name only while iteratively reading the config,
and then convert it to the final "merge" form the first
time somebody calls branch_get().
2. We set up the "merge" field every time branch_get is
called, even if it has already been done. This leaks
memory.
It's not a big deal in practice, since most code paths
will access only one branch, or perhaps each branch
only one time. But if you want to be pathological, you
can leak arbitrary memory with:
yes @{upstream} | head -1000 | git rev-list --stdin
We can fix this by skipping setup when branch->merge is
already non-NULL.
In addition to those two fixes, this patch pushes the "do we
need to setup merge?" logic down into set_merge, where it is
a bit easier to follow.

annotate each command to reject a non-empty $FLAGS variable,
we can notice that "stash show" is the only command that
actually _wants_ arbitrary flags. So we switch the default

When copy_fd() function encounters errors, it emits error messages

repository; instead of getting progress updates for
"counting objects", it will appear to hang then print the
final count.
We can fix this by treating an error return from tcgetpgrp()
as a signal to show the progress.

pack-bitmaps: plug memory leak, fix allocation size for recent_bitmaps
Use an automatic variable for recent_bitmaps, an array of pointers.
This way we don't allocate too much and don't have to free the memory
at the end. The old code over-allocated because it reserved enough
memory to store all of the structs it is only pointing to and never
freed it. 160 64-bit pointers take up 1280 bytes, which is not too
much to be placed on the stack.
MAX_XOR_OFFSET is turned into a preprocessor constant to make it
constant enough for use in an non-variable array declaration.

clone: call transport_set_verbosity before anything else on the newly created transport
Commit 2879bc3 made the progress and verbosity options sent to remote helper
earlier than they previously were. But nothing else after that would send
updates if the value is changed later on with transport_set_verbosity.
While for fetch and push, transport_set_verbosity is the first thing that
is done after creating the transport, it was not the case for clone. So
commit 2879bc3 broke changing progress and verbosity for clone, for urls
requiring a remote helper only (so, not git:// urls, for instance).
Moving transport_set_verbosity to just after the transport is created
works around the issue.

Back when these tests were written, we wanted to make sure that Git
notices it is in a bare repository and "git show -s HEAD" would
refrain from complaining that HEAD might mean a file it sees in its
current working directory (because it does not). But the version of
Git back then didn't behave well, without (doubly) being told that
it is inside a bare repository by exporting "GIT_DIR=.". The form
of the test we originally wanted to have was left commented out as
a reminder.
Nowadays the test as originally intended works, so add it to the
test suite. We'll keep the old test that explicitly sets GIT_DIR=.
to make sure that use case will not regress.

Even though "git clean" takes pathspec to limit the part of the
working tree to be cleaned, it checked the paths it encounters
during its directory traversal with lstat(2), before checking if
the path is within the pathspec.
Ignore paths outside pathspec and proceed without checking with
lstat(2). Even if such a path is unreadable due to e.g. EPERM,
"git clean" should not care.

There are several "raw formats", and describing --raw as "Generate the
raw format" in the documentation for git-log seems to imply that it
generates the raw *log* format.
Clarify the wording by saying "raw diff format" explicitly, and make a
special-case for "git log": "git log --raw" does not just change the
format, it shows something which is not shown by default.

Since b814da8 (pull: add pull.ff configuration, 2014-01-15) git-pull
supported setting --(no-)ff via the pull.ff configuration value.
However, as it only matches the string values of "true" and "false", it
does not support other boolean aliases such as "on", "off", "1", "0".
This is inconsistent with the merge.ff setting, which supports these
aliases.
Fix this by using the bool_or_string_config function to retrieve the

Since b814da8 (pull: add pull.ff configuration, 2014-01-15), running
git-pull with the configuration pull.ff=false or pull.ff=only is
equivalent to passing --no-ff and --ff-only to git-merge. However, if
pull.ff=true, no switch is passed to git-merge. This leads to the
confusing behavior where pull.ff=false or pull.ff=only is able to
override merge.ff, while pull.ff=true is unable to.
Fix this by adding the --ff switch if pull.ff=true, and add a test to
catch future regressions.
Furthermore, clarify in the documentation that pull.ff overrides

a8c9bef (pull: improve advice for unconfigured error case, 2009-10-05)
fully established the current advices given by git-pull for the
different cases where git-fetch will not have anything marked for merge:
1. We fetched from a specific remote, and a refspec was given, but it
ended up not fetching anything. This is usually because the user
provided a wildcard refspec which had no matches on the remote end.
2. We fetched from a non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to
merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the
default remote, and thus the user must specify the branches to merge.
3. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but:
a. We are not on a branch, so there will never be a configured branch
to merge with.
b. We are on a branch, but there is no configured branch to merge
with.
4. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but the
configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't
exist, or wasn't part of the configured fetch refspec)
Implement tests for the above 5 cases to ensure that the correct code
paths are triggered for each of these cases.

t5520: prevent field splitting in content comparisons

test `cat file` = expected
or
test $(cat file) = expected
These 2 forms, however, will be affected by field splitting and,
depending on the value of $IFS, may be split into multiple arguments,
making the test fail in mysterious ways.
Replace the above 2 forms with:
test "$(cat file)" = expected

`git add` of an empty file with a filter pops complaints from
`copy_fd` about a bad file descriptor.
This traces back to these lines in sha1_file.c:index_core:
if (!size) {
ret = index_mem(sha1, NULL, size, type, path, flags);
The problem here is that content to be added to the index can be
supplied from an fd, or from a memory buffer, or from a pathname. This
call is supplying a NULL buffer pointer and a zero size.
Downstream logic takes the complete absence of a buffer to mean the
data is to be found elsewhere -- for instance, these, from convert.c:
~If there's a buffer, write from that, otherwise the data must be coming
from an open fd.~
Perfectly reasonable logic in a routine that's going to write from
either a buffer or an fd.
So change `index_core` to supply an empty buffer when indexing an empty
file.
There's a patch out there that instead changes the logic quoted above to
take a `-1` fd to mean "use the buffer", but it seems to me that the
distinction between a missing buffer and an empty one carries intrinsic
semantics, where the logic change is adapting the code to handle
incorrect arguments.

http-backend: fix die recursion with custom handler
When we die() in http-backend, we call a custom handler that
writes an HTTP 500 response to stdout, then reports the
error to stderr. Our routines for writing out the HTTP
response may themselves die, leading to us entering die()
again.
When it was originally written, that was OK; our custom
handler keeps a variable to notice this and does not
recurse. However, since cd163d4 (usage.c: detect recursion
in die routines and bail out immediately, 2012-11-14), the
main die() implementation detects recursion before we even
get to our custom handler, and bails without printing
anything useful.
We can handle this case by doing two things:
1. Installing a custom die_is_recursing handler that
allows us to enter up to one level of recursion. Only
the first call to our custom handler will try to write
out the error response. So if we die again, that is OK.
If we end up dying more than that, it is a sign that we
are in an infinite recursion.
2. Reporting the error to stderr before trying to write
out the HTTP response. In the current code, if we do
die() trying to write out the response, we'll exit
immediately from this second die(), and never get a
chance to output the original error (which is almost
certainly the more interesting one; the second die is
just going to be along the lines of "I tried to write
to stdout but it was closed").

lock_packed_refs(): allow retries when acquiring the packed-refs lock
Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

lockfile: allow file locking to be retried with a timeout
Currently, there is only one attempt to lock a file. If it fails, the
whole operation fails.
But it might sometimes be advantageous to try acquiring a file lock a
few times before giving up. So add a new function,
hold_lock_file_for_update_timeout(), that allows a timeout to be
specified. Make hold_lock_file_for_update() a thin wrapper around the
new function.
If timeout_ms is positive, then retry for at least that many
milliseconds to acquire the lock. On each failed attempt, use select()
to wait for a backoff time that increases quadratically (capped at 1
second) and has a random component to prevent two processes from
getting synchronized. If timeout_ms is negative, retry indefinitely.
In a moment we will switch to using the new function when locking
packed-refs.

pull: remove --tags error in no merge candidates case
Since 441ed41 ("git pull --tags": error out with a better message.,
2007-12-28), git pull --tags would print a different error message if
git-fetch did not return any merge candidates:
It doesn't make sense to pull all tags; you probably meant:
git fetch --tags
This is because at that time, git-fetch --tags would override any
configured refspecs, and thus there would be no merge candidates. The
error message was thus introduced to prevent confusion.
However, since c5a84e9 (fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to*
other stuff, 2013-10-30), git fetch --tags would fetch tags in addition
to any configured refspecs. Hence, if any no merge candidates situation
occurs, it is not because --tags was set. As such, this special error
message is now irrelevant.
To prevent confusion, remove this error message.

The former seems to just be syntactic sugar for the latter.
And as it's sugar that AsciiDoctor doesn't understand, it
would be nice to avoid it. Since there are only two spots,
and the resulting source is not significantly harder to
read, it's worth doing.
Note that this does slightly affect the generated HTML (it

Merge branch 'jk/init-core-worktree-at-root' into maint

The DECORATE_SHORT_REFS option given to load_ref_decorations()
affects the way a copy of the refname is stored for each decorated
commit, and this forces later steps like current_pointed_by_HEAD()
to adjust their behaviour based on this initial settings.
Instead, we can always store the full refname and then shorten them
when producing the output.
log: decorate HEAD with branch name under --decorate=full, too
The previous step to teach "log --decorate" to show "HEAD -> master"
instead of "HEAD, master" when showing the commit at the tip of the
'master' branch, when the 'master' branch is checked out, did not
work for "log --decorate=full".
The commands in the "log" family prepare commit decorations for all
refs upfront, and the actual string used in a decoration depends on
how load_ref_decorations() is called very early in the process. By
default, "git log --decorate" stores names with common prefixes such
as "refs/heads" stripped; "git log --decorate=full" stores the full
refnames.
When the current_pointed_by_HEAD() function has to decide if "HEAD"
points at the branch a decoration describes, however, what was
passed to load_ref_decorations() to decide to strip (or keep) such a
common prefix is long lost. This makes it impossible to reliably
tell if a decoration that stores "refs/heads/master", for example,
is the 'master' branch (under "--decorate" with prefix omitted) or
'refs/heads/master' branch (under "--decorate=full").
Keep what was passed to load_ref_decorations() in a global next to
the global variable name_decoration, and use that to decide how to
match what was read from "HEAD" and what is in a decoration.
Text like "{foo}" triggers an AsciiDoc attribute; we have to
write "\{foo}" to suppress this. But when the "foo" is not a
syntactically valid attribute, we can skip the quoting. This
makes the source nicer to read, and looks better under
Asciidoctor. With AsciiDoc itself, this patch produces no
changes.
