We truncate hunk-header line at 80 bytes, but that 80th byte

tree-walk: don't parse incorrect entries

The current code can access memory outside of the tree buffer in the
case of malformed tree entries.

This patch prevents this by:

* The rest of the buffer must be at least 24 bytes (at least 1 byte
mode, 1 blank, at least one byte path name, 1 NUL, 20 bytes sha1).

* Check that the last NUL (21 bytes before the end) is present.
This ensures that strlen() and get_mode() calls stay within the
buffer.

* The mode may not be empty. We have only to reject a blank at the
begin, as the rest is handled by if (c < '0' || c > '7').

* The blank is ensured by get_mode().

* The path must contain at least one character.

Document the color.interactive semantics

There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive
description:

1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all
interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even
though there are no other interactive commands which
currently use it

2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled
by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require
tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies
only to displays and prompts.

add--interactive: allow diff colors without interactive... Jeff King Fri, 4 Jan 2008 08:35:21 +0000 (03:35 -0500)

add--interactive: allow diff colors without interactive colors

Users with color.diff set to true/auto will not see color in
"git add -i" unless they also set color.interactive.

This changes the semantics of color.interactive to control only the
coloring of the interaction aspect of the command and let color.diff
to control the color of hunk picker, which would arguably be more
convenient.

Old $use_color variable is now renamed to $menu_use_color to make it
clear that it is about coloring the interaction.

The "colored" subroutine now checks if the passed color is defined,
instead of checking $use_color variable, to decide if the lines should
be colored. The various variables that define colors for different
parts of the output are set or unset depending on the setting of
color.interactive and color.diff configuration variables.

When color support was added, we colored the diffs ourselves.
However, 4af756f3 changed this to simply run "git diff-files"

This makes the internal diff color variables obsolete with
one exception: when splitting hunks, we have to manually
recreate the fragment for each part of the split. Thus we
keep $fraginfo_color around to do that correctly.

t/t3800: do not use a temporary file to hold expected result.

It is a good practice to write program output to a temporary file
during the test, as it would allow easier postmortem when the tested
program does break. But there is no benefit in writing the expected
output out to the temporary.

This actually fixes a bug in check_verify_failure() routine.
The intention of the test seems to make sure the "git mktag" command
fails, and it spits out the expected error message. But if the
command did not fail as expected, the shell function as originally
written would not have detected the failure.

add a "basic" diff config callback

The diff porcelain uses git_diff_ui_config to set
porcelain-ish config options, like automatically turning on
color. The plumbing specifically avoids calling this
function, since it doesn't want things like automatic color
or rename detection.

However, some diff options should be set for both plumbing
and porcelain. For example, one can still turn on color in
git-diff-files using the --color command line option. This
means we want the color config from color.diff.* (so that
once color is on, we use the user's preferred scheme), but
_not_ the color.diff variable.

We split the diff config into "ui" and "basic", where
"basic" is suitable for use by plumbing (so _most_ things
affecting the output should still go into the "ui" part).

checking for -1, to allow "HEAD" but still needed to disallow
bogus refs.

This introduces symbolic constants for the return values from
check_ref_format() to make them read better and more
meaningful. Normal ref creation codepath can still treat
non-zero return values as errors.

config: handle lack of newline at end of file betterJeff King Tue, 1 Jan 2008 06:17:34 +0000 (01:17 -0500)

config: handle lack of newline at end of file better

The config parsing routines use the static global
'config_file' to store the FILE* pointing to the current
config file being parsed. The function get_next_char()
automatically converts an EOF on this file to a newline for
the convenience of its callers, and it sets config_file to
NULL to indicate that EOF was reached.

This throws away useful information, though, since some
routines want to call ftell on 'config_file' to find out
exactly _where_ the routine ended. In the case of a key
ending at EOF boundary, we ended up segfaulting in some
cases (changing that key or adding another key in its
section), or failing to provide the necessary newline
(adding a new section).

This patch adds a new flag to indicate EOF and uses that
instead of setting config_file to NULL. It also makes sure
to add newlines where necessary for truncated input. All
three included tests fail without the patch.

The commit message template when squashing multiple commits is

"git pull --tags": error out with a better message.Junio C Hamano Fri, 28 Dec 2007 21:58:43 +0000 (13:58 -0800)

"git pull --tags": error out with a better message.

When "git pull --tags" is run without any other arguments, the
standard error message "You told me to fetch and merge stuff but
there is nothing to merge! You might want to fix your config"
is given.

While the error may be technically correct, fixing the config
would not help, as "git pull --tags" itself tells "git fetch"
not to use the configured refspecs.

This commit makes "git pull --tags" to issue a different error
message to avoid confusion. This is merely an interim solution.

In the longer term, it would be a better approach to change the
semantics of --tags option to make "git fetch" and "git pull"
to:

(1) behave as if no --tags was given (so an explicit refspec on
the command line overrides configured ones, or no explicit
refspecs on the command line takes configured ones); but

(2) no auto-following of tags is made even when using
configured refspecs; and

(3) fetch all tags as not-for-merge entries".

Then we would not need to have this separate error message, as
the ordinary merge will happen even with the --tags option.

Improve error messages when int/long cannot be parsed... Shawn O. Pearce Tue, 25 Dec 2007 07:18:05 +0000 (02:18 -0500)

Improve error messages when int/long cannot be parsed from config

If a config file has become mildly corrupted due to a missing LF
we may discover some other option joined up against the end of a
numeric value. For example:

[section]
number = 1auto

where the "auto" flag was meant to occur on the next line, below
"number", but the missing LF has caused it to no longer be its
own option. Instead the word "auto" is parsed as a 'unit factor'
for the value of "number".

Before this change we got the confusing error message:

fatal: unknown unit: 'auto'

which told us nothing about where the problem appeared. Now we get:

fatal: bad config value for 'aninvalid.unit'

which at least points the user in the right direction of where to
search for the incorrectly formatted configuration file.

Noticed by erikh on #git, which received the original error from
a simple `git checkout -b` due to a midly corrupted config.

Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit... Alex Riesen Sat, 22 Dec 2007 18:46:24 +0000 (19:46 +0100)

Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messages

Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing
whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message,
sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it.

For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with
"#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible
if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell
script including its comments for future reference.

The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The
default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either
strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the
whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

Re(-re)*fix trim_common_tail()

The tar-ball and the git archive itself is fine, but yes, the diff from
2.6.23 to 2.6.24-rc6 is bad. It's the "trim_common_tail()" optimization
that has caused way too much pain.

Very interesting breakage. The patch was actually "correct" in a (rather
limited) technical sense, but the context at the end was missing because
while the trim_common_tail() code made sure to keep enough common context
to allow a valid diff to be generated, the diff machinery itself could
decide that it could generate the diff differently than the "obvious"
solution.

Thee sad fact is that the git optimization (which is very important for
"git blame", which needs no context), is only really valid for that one
case where we really don't need any context.

[jc: since this is shared with "git diff -U0" codepath, context recovery
to the end of line needs to be done even for zero context case.]
