Submodules: Don't parse .gitmodules when it contains, merge conflicts

Commands like "git status", "git diff" and "git fetch" would fail when the
.gitmodules file contained merge conflicts because the config parser would
call die() when hitting the conflict markers:

"fatal: bad config file line <n> in <path>/.gitmodules"

While this behavior was on the safe side, it is really unhelpful to the
user to have commands like status and diff fail, as these are needed to
find out what's going on. And the error message is only mildly helpful,
as it points to the right file but doesn't mention that it is unmerged.
Users of git gui were not shown any conflicts at all when this happened.

Improve the situation by checking if the index records .gitmodules as
unmerged. When that is the case we can't make any assumptions about the
configuration to be found there after the merge conflict is resolved by
the user, so assume that all recursion is disabled unless .git/config or
the global config say otherwise.

As soon as the merge conflict is resolved and the .gitmodules file has
been staged subsequent commands again honor any configuration done there.

For example: Two users independently adding a submodule will result in a
merge conflict in .gitmodules. Since configuration of the status and
diff machinery depends on the file being parseable they currently
fail to produce useable output in case .gitmodules is marked with a
merge conflict.

Pass empty file to p4merge where no base is suitable.

Modify the p4merge client command to pass a reference to an empty file
instead of the local file when no base revision available.

In the situation where a merge tries to add a file from one branch
into a branch that already contains that file (by name), p4merge
currently seems to have successfully automatically resolved the
'conflict' when it is opened (correctly if the files differed by
just whitespace for example) but leaves the save button disabled. This
means the user of the p4merge client cannot commit the resolved
changes back to disk and merely exits, leaving the original
(merge-conflicted) file intact on the disk.

Provide an empty base file to p4merge so that it leaves the save
button enabled. This will allow saving of the auto-resolution to
disk.

merge-one-file: fix broken merges with alternate work... Jeff King Fri, 29 Apr 2011 22:24:32 +0000 (18:24 -0400)

merge-one-file: fix broken merges with alternate work trees

The merge-one-file tool predates the invention of
GIT_WORK_TREE. By the time GIT_WORK_TREE was invented, most
people were using the merge-recursive strategy, which
handles resolving internally. Therefore these features have
had very little testing together.

For the most part, merge-one-file just works with
GIT_WORK_TREE; most of its heavy lifting is done by plumbing
commands which do respect GIT_WORK_TREE properly. The one
exception is a shell redirection which touches the worktree
directly, writing results to the wrong place in the presence
of a GIT_WORK_TREE variable.

This means that merges won't even fail; they will silently
produce incorrect results, throwing out the entire "theirs"
side of files which need content-level merging!

This patch makes merge-one-file chdir to the toplevel of the
working tree (and exit if we don't have one). This most
closely matches the assumption made by the original script
(before separate work trees were invented), and matches what
happens when the script is called as part of a merge
strategy.

While we're at it, we'll also error-check the call to cat.
Merging a file in a subdirectory could in fact fail, as the
redirection relies on the "checkout-index" call just prior
to create leading directories. But we never noticed, since
we ignored the error return from running cat.

There were no tests for either, except a brief use in
t1200-tutorial.

These tools are not used much these days, as most people
use the merge-recursive strategy, which handles everything
internally. However, they are used by the "octopus" and
"resolve" strategies, as well as any custom strategies
or merge scripts people have built around them.

For example, together with read-tree, they are the simplest
way to do a basic content-level merge without checking out
the entire repository contents beforehand.

This script adds a basic test of the tools to perform one
content-level merge. It also shows a failure of the tools to
work properly in the face of GIT_WORK_TREE or core.worktree.

blame: tolerate bogus e-mail addresses a bit better

The names and e-mails are sanitized by fmt_ident() when creating commits,
so that they do not contain "<" nor ">", and the "committer" and "author"
lines in the commit object will always be in the form:

("author" | "committer") name SP "<" email ">" SP timestamp SP zone

When parsing the email part out, the current code looks for SP starting
from the end of the email part, but the author could obfuscate the address
as "author at example dot com".

We should instead look for SP followed by "<", to match the logic of the
side that formats these lines.

git-rebase--interactive.sh: preserve-merges fails on... Andrew Wong Thu, 28 Apr 2011 04:35:55 +0000 (00:35 -0400)

git-rebase--interactive.sh: preserve-merges fails on merges created with no-ff

'git rebase' uses 'git merge' to preserve merges (-p). This preserves
the original merge commit correctly, except when the original merge
commit was created by 'git merge --no-ff'. In this case, 'git rebase'
will fail to preserve the merge, because during 'git rebase', 'git
merge' will simply fast-forward and skip the commit. For example:

B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q

If we try to rebase M onto P, we lose the merge commit and this happens:

A---B
/
---o---O---P---Q

To correct this, we simply do a "no fast-forward" on all merge commits
when rebasing. Since by the time we decided to do a 'git merge' inside
'git rebase', it means there was a merge originally, so 'git merge'
should always create a merge commit regardless of what the merge
branches look like. This way, when rebase M onto P from the above
example, we get:

B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q

date: avoid "X years, 12 months" in relative datesMichael J Gruber Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:12:11 +0000 (11:12 +0200)

date: avoid "X years, 12 months" in relative dates

When relative dates are more than about a year ago, we start
writing them as "Y years, M months". At the point where we
calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a
number of days. We calculate these integers as:

Y = days / 365
M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30

This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the
nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1
year, 1 month").

We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end
up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just
be "2 years".

Implement this differently with months of size

onemonth = 365/12

so that

totalmonths = (long)( (days + onemonth/2)/onemonth )
years = totalmonths / 12
months = totalmonths % 12

In order to do this without floats, we write the first formula as

totalmonths = (days*12*2 + 365) / (365*2)

archive: document limitation of tar.umask config setting

The local value of the config variable tar.umask is not passed to the
other side with --remote. We may want to change that, but for now just
document this fact.

t3306,t5304: avoid clock skew issues

On systems where the local time and file modification time may be out of
sync (e.g. test directory on NFS) t3306 and t5305 can fail because prune
compares times such as "now" (client time) with file modification times
(server times for remote file systems). I.e., these are spurious test
failures.

Avoid this by setting the relevant modification times to the local time.

Noticed on a system with as little as 2s time skew.

Teach --dirstat not to completely ignore rearranged... Johan Herland Sun, 10 Apr 2011 22:48:52 +0000 (00:48 +0200)

Teach --dirstat not to completely ignore rearranged lines within a file

Currently, the --dirstat analysis ignores when lines within a file are
rearranged, because the "damage" calculated by show_dirstat() is 0.
However, if the object name has changed, we already know that there is
some damage, and it is unintuitive to claim there is _no_ damage.

Teach show_dirstat() to assign a minimum amount of damage (== 1) to
entries for which the analysis otherwise yields zero damage, to still
represent that these files are changed, instead of saying that there
is no change.

Also, skip --dirstat analysis when the object names are the same (e.g. for
a pure file rename).

--dirstat-by-file: Make it faster and more correctJohan Herland Sun, 10 Apr 2011 22:48:51 +0000 (00:48 +0200)

--dirstat-by-file: Make it faster and more correct

Currently, when using --dirstat-by-file, it first does the full --dirstat
analysis (using diffcore_count_changes()), and then resets 'damage' to 1,
if any damage was found by diffcore_count_changes().

But --dirstat-by-file is not interested in the file damage per se. It only
cares if the file changed at all. In that sense it only cares if the blob
object for a file has changed. We therefore only need to compare the
object names of each file pair in the diff queue and we can skip the
entire --dirstat analysis and simply set 'damage' to 1 for each entry
where the object name has changed.

This makes --dirstat-by-file faster, and also bypasses --dirstat's practice
of ignoring rearranged lines within a file.

The patch also contains an added testcase verifying that --dirstat-by-file
now detects changes that only rearrange lines within a file.

git-svn: Add a svn-remote.<name>.pushurl config key

Similar to the 'remote.<name>.pushurl' config key for git remotes,
'pushurl' is designed to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN
repository via a read-only transport, to provide an alternate
read/write transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same
repository.

The 'pushurl' key is distinct from the 'commiturl' key in that
'commiturl' is a full svn path while 'pushurl' (like 'url') is a base
path. 'commiturl' takes precendece over 'pushurl' in cases where
either might be used.

The 'pushurl' is used by git-svn's dcommit and branch commands.

upload-pack: start pack-objects before async rev-listJeff King Wed, 6 Apr 2011 21:33:33 +0000 (17:33 -0400)

upload-pack: start pack-objects before async rev-list

In a pthread-enabled version of upload-pack, there's a race condition
that can cause a deadlock on the fflush(NULL) we call from run-command.

What happens is this:

1. Upload-pack is informed we are doing a shallow clone.

2. We call start_async() to spawn a thread that will generate rev-list
results to feed to pack-objects. It gets a file descriptor to a
pipe which will eventually hook to pack-objects.

3. The rev-list thread uses fdopen to create a new output stream
around the fd we gave it, called pack_pipe.

4. The thread writes results to pack_pipe. Outside of our control,
libc is doing locking on the stream. We keep writing until the OS
pipe buffer is full, and then we block in write(), still holding
the lock.

5. The main thread now uses start_command to spawn pack-objects.
Before forking, it calls fflush(NULL) to flush every stdio output
buffer. It blocks trying to get the lock on pack_pipe.

And we have a deadlock. The thread will block until somebody starts
reading from the pipe. But nobody will read from the pipe until we
finish flushing to the pipe.

To fix this, we swap the start order: we start the
pack-objects reader first, and then the rev-list writer
after. Thus the problematic fflush(NULL) happens before we
even open the new file descriptor (and even if it didn't,
flushing should no longer block, as the reader at the end of
the pipe is now active).

stash: drop dirty worktree check on applyJeff King Tue, 5 Apr 2011 21:23:15 +0000 (17:23 -0400)

stash: drop dirty worktree check on apply

Before we apply a stash, we make sure there are no changes
in the worktree that are not in the index. This check dates
back to the original git-stash.sh, and is presumably
intended to prevent changes in the working tree from being
accidentally lost during the merge.

However, this check has two problems:

1. It is overly restrictive. If my stash changes only file
"foo", but "bar" is dirty in the working tree, it will
prevent us from applying the stash.

2. It is redundant. We don't touch the working tree at all
until we actually call merge-recursive. But it has its
own (much more accurate) checks to avoid losing working
tree data, and will abort the merge with a nicer
message telling us which paths were problems.

So we can simply drop the check entirely.

stash: fix accidental apply of non-existent stashes

Once upon a time, "git rev-parse ref@{9999999}" did not
generate an error. Therefore when we got an invalid stash
reference in "stash apply", we could end up not noticing
until quite late. Commit b0f0ecd (detached-stash: work
around git rev-parse failure to detect bad log refs,
2010-08-21) handled this by checking for the "Log for stash
has only %d entries" warning on stderr when we validated the
ref.

A few days later, e6eedc3 (rev-parse: exit with non-zero
status if ref@{n} is not valid., 2010-08-24) fixed the
original issue. That made the extra stderr test superfluous,
but also introduced a new bug. Now the early call to:

git rev-parse --symbolic "$@"

fails, but we don't notice the exit code. Worse, its empty
output means we think the user didn't provide us a ref, and
we try to apply stash@{0}.

This patch checks the rev-parse exit code and fails early in
the revision parsing process. We can also get rid of the
stderr test; as a bonus, this means that "stash apply" can
now run under GIT_TRACE=1 properly.

pull: do not clobber untracked files on initial pull

For a pull into an unborn branch, we do not use "git merge"
at all. Instead, we call read-tree directly. However, we
used the --reset parameter instead of "-m", which turns off
the safety features.
