Merge branch 'jc/push-cas'

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.

The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).

The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internallyJeff King Sun, 8 Sep 2013 08:40:02 +0000 (04:40 -0400)

git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internally

When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".

This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.

Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).

Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.

Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

config: make numeric parsing errors more clear

If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a
number outside of the representable range, we die with the
cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".

We can improve two things:

1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').

2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
"invalid unit" versus "out of range").

A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our
stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.

config: set errno in numeric git_parse_* functionsJeff King Sun, 8 Sep 2013 08:36:42 +0000 (04:36 -0400)

config: set errno in numeric git_parse_* functions

When we are parsing an integer or unsigned long, we use
the strto*max functions, which properly set errno to ERANGE
if we get a large value. However, we also do further range
checks after applying our multiplication factor, but do not
set ERANGE. This means that a caller cannot tell if an error
was caused by ERANGE or if the input was simply not a valid
number.

This patch teaches git_parse_signed and git_parse_unsigned to set
ERANGE for range errors, and EINVAL for other errors, so that the
caller can reliably tell these cases apart.

config: properly range-check integer valuesJeff King Sun, 8 Sep 2013 08:33:08 +0000 (04:33 -0400)

config: properly range-check integer values

When we look at a config value as an integer using the
git_config_int function, we carefully range-check the value
we get and complain if it is out of our range. But the range
we compare to is that of a "long", which we then cast to an
"int" in the function's return value. This means that on
systems where "int" and "long" have different sizes (e.g.,
LP64 systems), we may pass the range check, but then return
nonsense by truncating the value as we cast it to an int.

We can solve this by converting git_parse_long into
git_parse_int, and range-checking the "int" range. Nobody
actually cared that we used a "long" internally, since the
result was truncated anyway. And the only other caller of
git_parse_long is git_config_maybe_bool, which should be
fine to just use int (though we will now forbid out-of-range
nonsense like setting "merge.ff" to "10g" to mean "true",
which is probably a good thing).

config: factor out integer parsing from range checks

When we are parsing integers for config, we use an intmax_t
(or uintmax_t) internally, and then check against the size
of our result type at the end. We can parameterize the
maximum representable value, which will let us re-use the
parsing code for a variety of range checks.

Unfortunately, we cannot combine the signed and unsigned
parsing functions easily, as we have to rely on the signed
and unsigned C types internally.

remote-bzr: reuse bzrlib transports when possibleRichard Hansen Sun, 8 Sep 2013 05:47:49 +0000 (01:47 -0400)

remote-bzr: reuse bzrlib transports when possible

Pass a list of open bzrlib.transport.Transport objects to each bzrlib
function that might create a transport. This enables bzrlib to reuse
existing transports when possible, avoiding multiple concurrent
connections to the same remote server.

If the remote server is accessed via ssh, this fixes a couple of
problems:
* If the user does not have keys loaded into an ssh agent, the user
may be prompted for a password multiple times.
* If the user is using OpenSSH and the ControlMaster setting is set
to auto, git-remote-bzr might hang. This is because bzrlib closes
the multiple ssh sessions in an undefined order and might try to
close the master ssh session before the other sessions. The
master ssh process will not exit until the other sessions have
exited, causing a deadlock. (The ssh sessions are closed in an
undefined order because bzrlib relies on the Python garbage
collector to trigger ssh session termination.)

pathspec: catch prepending :(prefix) on pathspec with short magic

:(prefix) is in the long form. Suppose people pass :!foo with '!'
being the short form of magic 'bar', the code will happily turn it to
:(prefix..)!foo, which makes '!' part of the path and no longer a magic.

The correct form must be ':(prefix..,bar)foo', but as so far we
haven't had any magic in short form yet (*), the code to convert from
short form to long one will be inactive anyway. Let's postpone it
until a real short form magic appears.

(*) The short form magic '/' is a special case and won't be caught by
this die(), which is correct. When '/' magic is detected, prefixlen is
set back to 0 and the whole "if (prefixlen..)" block is skipped.

pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasingStephen Haberman Tue, 13 Aug 2013 03:43:42 +0000 (22:43 -0500)

pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasing

If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.

This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.

Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.

Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

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:

$ UTF8=0 perl author-initials.pl | sort | uniq -c |
sort -nr | head -n 5

has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving upJeff King Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:14:13 +0000 (15:14 -0400)

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.

Start the post-1.8.4 cycleJunio C Hamano Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:16:16 +0000 (10:16 -0700)

Start the post-1.8.4 cycle

It is tentatively called 1.8.5, but it should be an easy matter of
renaming the release-notes file and RelNotes symlink to later call
it 1.9 near the end of the cycle if we wanted to.

Merge branch 'bc/completion-for-bash-3.0'

Some people still use rather old versions of bash, which cannot
grok some constructs like 'printf -v varname' the prompt and
completion code started to use recently.

* bc/completion-for-bash-3.0:
contrib/git-prompt.sh: handle missing 'printf -v' more gracefully
t9902-completion.sh: old Bash still does not support array+=('') notation
git-completion.bash: use correct Bash/Zsh array length syntax
