Commit 48059e4 (pull: use merge-base --fork-point when appropriate,
2013-12-08) incorrectly assumes that get_remote_merge_branch will either
yield a non-empty string or return an error, but there are circumstances
where it will yield an empty string.
The previous code then invoked git-rev-list with no arguments, which
results in an error suppressed by redirecting stderr to /dev/null. Now
we invoke git-merge-base with an empty branch name, which also results
in an error. Suppress this in the same way.

Subversion serf backend in versions 1.8.5 and below has a bug(*) that the
function creating the descriptor of a file change -- add_file() --
doesn't make a copy of its third argument when storing it on the
returned descriptor. As a result, by the time this field is used (in
transactions of file copying or renaming) it may well be released, and
the memory reused.
One of its possible manifestations is the svn assertion triggering on an
invalid path, with a message
This patch works around this bug, by storing the value to be passed as

as the file change descriptor, making sure their lifetime is the same.

The is_binary flag needs only three values: -1, 0, and 1.
However, we use a whole 32-bit int for it on most systems
(both 32- and 64- bit).
Instead, we can mark it to use only 2 bits. On 32-bit
systems, this lets it end up as part of the bitfield above
(saving 4 bytes). On 64-bit systems, we don't see any change
(because the savings end up as padding), but it does leave
room for another "free" 32-bit value to be added later.

The middle of the diff_filespec struct contains a mixture of
ints, shorts, and bit-fields, followed by a pointer. On an
x86-64 system with an LP64 or LLP64 data model (i.e., most
of them), the integers and flags end up being padded out by
41 bits to put the pointer at an 8-byte boundary.
After the pointer, we have the "int is_binary" field, which
is only 32 bits. We end up wasting another 32 bits to pad
the struct size up to a multiple of 64 bits.
We can move the is_binary field before the pointer, which
lets the compiler store it where we used to have padding.
This shrinks the top padding to only 9 bits (from the
bit-fields), and eliminates the bottom padding entirely,
dropping the struct size from 88 to 80 bytes.
On a 32-bit system, there is no benefit, but nor should
there be any harm (we only need 4-byte alignment there, so
we were already using only 9 bits of padding).

diff_filespec has a 2-bit "dirty_submodule" field and

STARTTLS failed! SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate
verify failed at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 1236.
The current code detects the presence of /etc/ssl/certs directory
(it actually is a symlink to another directory, but that does not
matter) and uses SSL_ca_path to point at it when initializing the
connection with IO::Socket::SSL or Net::SMTP::SSL. However, on the
said platform, it seems that this directory is not designed to be
used as SSL_ca_path. Using a single file inside that directory
(cert.pem, which is a Mozilla CA bundle) with SSL_ca_file does work,
and also not specifying any SSL_ca_file/SSL_ca_path (and letting the
library use its own default) and asking for peer verification does
work.
By removing the code that blindly defaults $smtp_ssl_cert_path to
"/etc/ssl/certs", we can prevent the codepath that treats any
directory specified with that variable as usable for SSL_ca_path
from incorrectly triggering.
This change could introduce a regression for people on a platform
whose certificate directory is /etc/ssl/certs but its IO::Socket:SSL
somehow fails to use it as SSL_ca_path without being told. Using
/etc/ssl/certs directory as SSL_ca_path by default like the current
code does would have been hiding such a broken installation without
its user needing to do anything. These users can still work around
such a platform bug by setting the configuration variable explicitly
to point at /etc/ssl/certs.
This change should not negate what 35035bbf (send-email: be explicit
with SSL certificate verification, 2013-07-18), which was the
original change that introduced the defaulting to /etc/ssl/certs/,
attempted to do, which is to make sure we do not communicate over
insecure connection by default, triggering warning from the library.

revision: propagate flag bits from tags to pointees
With the previous fix 895c5ba3 (revision: do not peel tags used in
range notation, 2013-09-19), handle_revision_arg() that processes
command line arguments for the "git log" family of commands no
longer directly places the object pointed by the tag in the pending
object array when it sees a tag object. We used to place pointee
there after copying the flag bits like UNINTERESTING and
SYMMETRIC_LEFT.
This change meant that any flag that is relevant to later history
traversal must now be propagated to the pointed objects (most often
these are commits) while starting the traversal, which is partly
done by handle_commit() that is called from prepare_revision_walk().
We did propagate UNINTERESTING, but did not do so for others, most
notably SYMMETRIC_LEFT. This caused "git log --left-right v1.0..."
(where "v1.0" is a tag) to start losing the "leftness" from the
commit the tag points at.
revision: mark contents of an uninteresting tree uninteresting
"git rev-list --objects ^A^{tree} B^{tree}" ought to mean "I want a
list of objects inside B's tree, but please exclude the objects that
appear inside A's tree".
we see the top-level tree marked as uninteresting (i.e. ^A^{tree} in
the above example) and call mark_tree_uninteresting() on it; this
unfortunately prevents us from recursing into the tree and marking
the objects in the tree as uninteresting.
The reason why "git log ^A A" yields an empty set of commits,
i.e. we do not have a similar issue for commits, is because we call
mark_parents_uninteresting() after seeing an uninteresting commit.
The uninteresting-ness of the commit itself does not prevent its
parents from being marked as uninteresting.
Introduce mark_tree_contents_uninteresting() and structure the code
in handle_commit() in such a way that it makes it the responsibility
of the callchain leading to this function to mark commits, trees and
blobs as uninteresting, and also make it the responsibility of the
helpers called from this function to mark objects that are reachable
from them.
Note that this is a very old bug that probably dates back to the day
when "rev-list --objects" was introduced. The line to clear
tree->object.parsed at the end of mark_tree_contents_uninteresting()
can be removed when this fix is merged to the codebase after 6e454b9a (clear parsed flag when we free tree buffers, 2013-06-05).
When we parse a string like "foo@{upstream}", we look for
the first "@"-sign, and check to see if it is an upstream
mark. However, since branch names can contain an @, we may
also see "@foo@{upstream}". In this case, we check only the
first @, and ignore the second. As a result, we do not find
the upstream.
We can solve this by iterating through all @-marks in the
string, and seeing if any is a legitimate upstream or
empty-at mark.
Another strategy would be to parse from the right-hand side
of the string. However, that does not work for the
"empty_at" case, which allows "@@{upstream}". We need to
find the left-most one in this case (and we then recurse as
"HEAD@{upstream}").

interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colon
get_sha1() cannot currently parse a valid object name like
"HEAD:@{upstream}" (assuming that such an oddly named file
exists in the HEAD commit). It takes two passes to parse the
string:
1. It first considers the whole thing as a ref, which
results in looking for the upstream of "HEAD:".
2. It finds the colon, parses "HEAD" as a tree-ish, and then
finds the path "@{upstream}" in the tree.
For a path that looks like a normal reflog (e.g.,
"HEAD:@{yesterday}"), the first pass is a no-op. We try to
dwim_ref("HEAD:"), that returns zero refs, and we proceed
with colon-parsing.
For "HEAD:@{upstream}", though, the first pass ends up in
interpret_upstream_mark, which tries to find the branch
"HEAD:". When it sees that the branch does not exist, it
actually dies rather than returning an error to the caller.
As a result, we never make it to the second pass.
One obvious way of fixing this would be to teach
interpret_upstream_mark to simply report "no, this isn't an
upstream" in such a case. However, that would make the
error-reporting for legitimate upstream cases significantly
worse. Something like "bogus@{upstream}" would simply report
"unknown revision: bogus@{upstream}", while the current code
diagnoses a wide variety of possible misconfigurations (no
such branch, branch exists but does not have upstream, etc).
However, we can take advantage of the fact that a branch
name cannot contain a colon. Therefore even if we find an
upstream mark, any prefix with a colon must mean that
the upstream mark we found is actually a pathname, and
should be disregarded completely. This patch implements that
logic.

interpret_branch_name gets passed a "name" buffer to parse,
along with a "namelen" parameter representing its length. If
"namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name".
However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have
gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing
"foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first
three characters.
Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string
functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past
the length we were given. This can result in us mis-parsing
object names. We should instead be limiting our search to
"namelen" bytes.
There are three distinct types of object names this patch
addresses:
- The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the
next @-expression after our potential empty-at. In an
expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that
the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only
to look at the first character. This case is easy to
trigger (and we test it in this patch).
- When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use
strchr. This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as
the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only
to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice,
because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in
the next patch).
- The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive
the name length at all. This turns out not to be a
problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so
limited: it always starts from the far-left of the
string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is
currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen
"namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the
code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us
against callers with more exotic buffers.

interpret_branch_name more readable, and will make it much
simpler to further refactor the function in future patches.

code into a few helper functions. These will be useful if we
eventually implement similar @{upstream}-like constructs.

Currently fetching a one-level ref like "refs/foo" does not
work consistently. The outer "git fetch" program filters the
list of refs, checking each against check_refname_format.
Then it feeds the result to do_fetch_pack to actually
negotiate the haves/wants and get the pack. The fetch-pack
code does its own filter, and it behaves differently.
The fetch-pack filter looks for refs in "refs/", and then
feeds everything _after_ the slash (i.e., just "foo") into
check_refname_format. But check_refname_format is not
designed to look at a partial refname. It complains that the
ref has only one component, thinking it is at the root
(i.e., alongside "HEAD"), when in reality we just fed it a
partial refname.
As a result, we omit a ref like "refs/foo" from the pack
request, even though "git fetch" then tries to store the
resulting ref. If we happen to get the object anyway (e.g.,
because the ref is contained in another ref we are
fetching), then the fetch succeeds. But if it is a unique
object, we fail when trying to update "refs/foo".
We can fix this by just passing the whole refname into
check_refname_format; we know the part we were omitting is
"refs/", which is acceptable in a refname. This at least
makes the checks consistent with each other.
This problem happens most commonly with "refs/stash", which
is the only one-level ref in wide use. However, our test
does not use "refs/stash", as we may later want to restrict
it specifically (not because it is one-level, but because
of the semantics of stashes).
We may also want to do away with the multiple levels of
filtering (which can cause problems when they are out of
sync), or even forbid one-level refs entirely. However,
those decisions can come later; this fixes the most
immediate problem, which is the mismatch between the two.

refname_match(): always use the rules in ref_rev_parse_rules
We used to use two separate rules for the normal ref resolution
dwimming and dwimming done to decide which remote ref to grab. The
third parameter to refname_match() selected which rules to use.
When these two rules were harmonized in
2011-11-04 dd621df9cd refs DWIMmery: use the same rule for both "git fetch" and others
, ref_fetch_rules was #defined to avoid potential breakages for
in-flight topics.
It is now safe to remove the backwards-compatibility code, so remove
refname_match()'s third parameter, make ref_rev_parse_rules private to
refs.c, and remove ref_fetch_rules entirely.

When trying to pop/apply a stash specified with an argument
containing IFS whitespace, git-stash will throw an error:
$ git stash pop 'stash@{two hours ago}'
Too many revisions specified: stash@{two hours ago}
This happens because word splitting is used to count non-option
arguments. Make use of rev-parse's --sq option to quote the arguments
for us to ensure a correct count. Add quotes where necessary.
Also add a test that verifies correct behaviour.

sha1_name: don't resolve refs when core.warnambiguousrefs is false
When seeing a full 40-hex object name, get_sha1_basic()
unconditionally checks if the string can also be interpreted as a
refname, but the result will not be used unless warn_ambiguous_refs
is in effect.
Omitting this unnecessary ref resolution provides a substantial
performance improvement, especially when passing many hashes to a
command (like "git rev-list --stdin") and core.warnambiguousrefs is
set to false. The check incurs 6 stat()s for every hash supplied,
which can be costly over NFS.

On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

git-submodule.sh: 'checkout' is a valid update mode
'checkout' is documented as one of the valid values for the
'submodule.<name>.update' variable, and in a repository with the
variable set to 'checkout', "git submodule update" command does
update using the 'checkout' mode.
However, it has been an accident that the implementation works this
way; any unknown value would trigger the same codepath and update
using the 'checkout' mode.
Explicitly list 'checkout' as one of the known update modes, and
error out when an unknown update mode is used.
Teach the codepath that initializes the configuration variable from
an in-tree .gitmodules that 'checkout' is one of the valid values.
The code since ac1fbbda (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode
from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02) used to treat the value 'checkout' as
unknown and mapped it to 'none', which made little sense. With this
change, 'checkout' specified in .gitmodules will stay to be 'checkout'.

Use asciidoc style 'article' instead of 'book' and change asciidoc
title level. This removes blank first page and superfluous "Part I"
page (there is no "Part II") in pdf output. Also pdf size is
decreased by this from 77 to 67 pages. In html output this removes
unnecessary sub-tocs and chapter numbering.

builtin/help.c: speed up is_git_command() by checking for builtin commands first
Since 2dce956 is_git_command() is a bit slow as it does file I/O in
the call to list_commands_in_dir(). Avoid the file I/O by adding an
early check for the builtin commands.

safe_create_leading_directories(): add new error value SCLD_VANISHED
Add a new possible error result that can be returned by
safe_create_leading_directories() and
safe_create_leading_directories_const(): SCLD_VANISHED. This value
indicates that a file or directory on the path existed at one point
(either it already existed or the function created it), but then it
disappeared. This probably indicates that another process deleted the
directory while we were working. If SCLD_VANISHED is returned, the
caller might want to retry the function call, as there is a chance
that a new attempt will succeed.
Why doesn't safe_create_leading_directories() do the retrying
internally? Because an empty directory isn't really ever safe until
it holds a file. So even if safe_create_leading_directories() were
absolutely sure that the directory existed before it returned, there
would be no guarantee that the directory still existed when the caller
tried to write something in it.

cmd_init_db(): when creating directories, handle errors conservatively
safe_create_leading_directories_const() returns a non-zero value on
error. The old code at this calling site recognized a couple of
particular error values, and treated all other return values as
success. Instead, be more conservative: recognize the errors we are
interested in, but treat any other nonzero values as failures. This
is more robust in case somebody adds another possible return value
without telling us.

safe_create_leading_directories(): always restore slash at end of loop
Always restore the slash that we scribbled over at the end of the
loop, rather than also fixing it up at each premature exit from the
loop. This makes it harder to forget to do the cleanup as new paths
are added to the code.

safe_create_leading_directories(): split on first of multiple slashes
If the input path has multiple slashes between path components (e.g.,
"foo//bar"), then the old code was breaking the path at the last
slash, not the first one. So in the above example, the second slash
was overwritten with NUL, resulting in the parent directory being
sought as "foo/".
When stat() is called on "foo/", it fails with ENOTDIR if "foo" exists
but is not a directory. This caused the wrong path to be taken in the
subsequent logic.
So instead, split path components at the first intercomponent slash
rather than the last one.

Keep track of the position of the slash character independently of
"pos", thereby making the purpose of each variable clearer and
working towards other upcoming changes.
