Earlier 7974843 (compat/cygwin.c: make runtime detection of lstat/stat
lessor impact, 2008-10-23) fixed the low-level "do we use cygwin specific
hacks for stat/lstat?" logic not to call into git_default_config() from
random codepaths that are typically very late in the program, to prevent
the call from potentially overwriting other variables that are initialized
from the configuration.
However, it forgot that on Cygwin, trust-executable-bit should default to
true.
Noticed by J6t, confirmed by Ramsay Jones, and the brown paper bag is on
Gitster's head.
fetch: Also fetch submodules in subdirectories in on-demand mode
When on-demand mode was active examining the new commits just fetched in
the superproject (to check if they record commits for submodules which are
not downloaded yet) wasn't done recursively. Because of that fetch did not
recursively fetch submodules living in subdirectories even when it should
have.
Fix that by adding the RECURSIVE flag to the diff_options used to check
the new commits and avoid future regressions in this area by moving a
submodule in t5526 into a subdirectory.

Until now, "git tag -l foo* bar*" would silently ignore the
second argument, showing only refs starting with "foo". It's
not just unfriendly not to take a second pattern; we
actually generated subtly wrong results (from the user's
perspective) because some of the requested tags were
omitted.
This patch allows an arbitrary number of patterns on the
command line; if any of them matches, the ref is shown.
While we're tweaking the documentation, let's also make it
clear that the pattern is fnmatch.

rebase -i -p: include non-first-parent commits in todo list
Consider this graph:
D---E (topic, HEAD)
/ /
A---B---C (master)
\
F (topic2)
and the following three commands:
1. git rebase -i -p A
2. git rebase -i -p --onto F A
3. git rebase -i -p B
Currently, (1) and (2) will pick B, D, C, and E onto A and F,
respectively. However, (3) will only pick D and E onto B, but not C,
which is inconsistent with (1) and (2). As a result, we cannot modify C
during the interactive-rebase.
The current behavior also creates a bug if we do:
4. git rebase -i -p C
In (4), E is never picked. And since interactive-rebase resets "HEAD"
to "onto" before picking any commits, D and E are lost after the
interactive-rebase.
This patch fixes the inconsistency and bug by ensuring that all children
of upstream are always picked. This essentially reverts the commit: d80d6bc146232d81f1bb4bc58e5d89263fd228d4
When compiling the todo list, commits reachable from "upstream" should
never be skipped under any conditions. Otherwise, we lose the ability
to modify them like (3), and create a bug like (4).
Two of the tests contain a scenario like (3). Since the new behavior
added more commits for picking, these tests need to be updated to
account for the additional pick lines. A new test has also been added
for (4).

tests: link shell libraries into valgrind directory
When we run tests under valgrind, we symlink anything
executable that starts with git-* or test-* into a special
valgrind bin directory, and then make that our
GIT_EXEC_PATH.
However, shell libraries like git-sh-setup do not have the
executable bit marked, and did not get symlinked. This
means that any test looking for shell libraries in our
exec-path would fail to find them, even though that is a
fine thing to do when testing against a regular git build
(or in a git install, for that matter).
t2300 demonstrated this problem. The fix is to symlink these
shell libraries directly into the valgrind directory.

simply run the test suite without valgrind on.

Update zlib_post_call() that adjusts the wrapper's notion of avail_in and
avail_out to what came back from zlib, so that the callers can feed
buffers larger than than 4GB to the API.
When underlying inflate/deflate stopped processing because we fed a buffer
larger than 4GB limit, detect that case, update the state variables, and
let the zlib function work another round.
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.
But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.
In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.
Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.
Wrap deflateInit, deflate, and deflateEnd for everybody, and the sole use
of deflateInit2 in remote-curl.c to tell the library to use gzip header
and trailer in git_deflate_init_gzip().
There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the
status and act on it (i.e. die) for now, but we would probably want to
make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get
rid of the _gently() kind.
zlib: wrap inflateInit2 used to accept only for gzip format
http-backend.c uses inflateInit2() to tell the library that it wants to
accept only gzip format. Wrap it in a helper function so that readers do
not have to wonder what the magic numbers 15 and 16 are for.
Before refactoring the main part of the wrappers, first move the
logic to convert error status that come back from zlib to string
to a helper function.
gitweb: do not misparse nonnumeric content tag files that contain a digit
v1.7.6-rc0~27^2~4 (gitweb: Change the way "content tags" ('ctags') are
handled, 2011-04-29) tried to make gitweb's tag cloud feature more
intuitive for webmasters by checking whether the ctags/<label> under
a project's .git dir contains a number (representing the strength of
association to <label>) before treating it as one.
With that change, after putting '$feature{'ctags'}{'default'} = [1];'
in your $GITWEB_CONFIG, you could do
echo Linux >.git/ctags/linux
and gitweb would treat that as a request to tag the current repository
with the Linux tag, instead of the previous behavior of writing an
error page embedded in the projects list that triggers error messages
from Chromium and Firefox about malformed XML.
Unfortunately the pattern (\d+) used to match numbers is too loose,
and the "XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document"
error can still be experienced if you write "Linux-2.6" in place of
"Linux" in the example above. Fix it by tightening the pattern to
^\d+$.

sha1_file.c: "legacy" is really the current format
Every time I look at the read-loose-object codepath, legacy_loose_object()
function makes my brain go through mental contortion. When we were playing
with the experimental loose object format, it may have made sense to call
the traditional format "legacy", in the hope that the experimental one
will some day replace it to become official, but it never happened.
This renames the function (and negates its return value) to detect if we
are looking at the experimental format, and move the code around in its
caller which used to do "if we are looing at legacy, do this special case,
otherwise the normal case is this". The codepath to read from the loose
objects in experimental format is the "unlikely" case.
Someday after Git 2.0, we should drop the support of this format.

When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.
The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().
A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

diff-index --quiet: learn the "stop feeding the backend early" logic
A negative return from the unpack callback function usually means unpack
failed for the entry and signals the unpack_trees() machinery to fail the
entire merge operation, immediately and there is no other way for the
callback to tell the machinery to exit early without reporting an error.
This is what we usually want to make a merge all-or-nothing operation, but
the machinery is also used for diff-index codepath by using a custom
unpack callback function. And we do sometimes want to exit early without
failing, namely when we are under --quiet and can short-cut the diff upon
finding the first difference.
Add "exiting_early" field to unpack_trees_options structure, to signal the
unpack_trees() machinery that the negative return value is not signaling
an error but an early return from the unpack_trees() machinery. As this by
definition hasn't unpacked everything, discard the resulting index just
like the failure codepath.

diff: futureproof "stop feeding the backend early" logic
Refactor the "do not stop feeding the backend early" logic into a small
helper function and use it in both run_diff_files() and diff_tree() that
has the stop-early optimization. We may later add other types of diffcore
transformation that require to look at the whole result like diff-filter
does, and having the logic in a single place is essential for longer term
maintainability.
diff_tree: disable QUICK optimization with diff filter
We stop looking for changes early with QUICK, so our diff
queue contains only a subset of the changes. However, we
don't apply diff filters until later; it will appear at that
point as though there are no changes matching our filter,
when in reality we simply didn't keep looking for changes
long enough.
Commit 2cfe8a6 (diff --quiet: disable optimization when
--diff-filter=X is used, 2011-03-16) fixes this in some
cases by disabling the optimization when a filter is
present. However, it only tweaked run_diff_files, missing
the similar case in diff_tree. Thus the fix worked only for
diffing the working tree and index, but not between trees.

check whether 'git grep -E -F -G' is different from 'git grep -E -G -F'.
To check that, let's change pattern to "a+b*c". This should return
different match for -G, -F and -E.
I also made two small tweaks to the tests. First, I added path "ab" to

When we finish a rebase, our detached HEAD is at the final
result. We update the original branch ref with this result,
and then point the HEAD symbolic ref at the updated branch.
We write a reflog for the branch update, but not for the
update of HEAD.
Because we're already at the final result on the detached
HEAD, moving to the branch actually doesn't change our
commit sha1 at all. So in that sense, a reflog entry would
be pointless.

code block. This is a problem if we are discussing literal
output and want to show the ASCII characters.
Our usage falls into three categories:
1. Inside a code block. These can be left as-is.
2. Discussing literal output or code, but inside a
paragraph. This patch escapes these as "\->".
3. Using the arrow as a symbolic element, such as "use the
Edit->Account Settings menu". In this case, the
arrow symbol is preferable, so we leave it as-is.

The --porcelain format was originally identical to the
--short format, but designed to be stable as the short
format changed. Since this was written, the short format
picked up a few incompatible niceties, but this description
was never changed.
Let's mention the differences. While we're at it, let's add
some sub-section headings to make the "output" section a
little easier to navigate.

In older versions of git, we used rfc822 header folding to
indicate that the original subject line had multiple lines
in it. But since a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header
lines, 2011-02-23), we now use header folding whenever there
is a long line.
This means that "git am" cannot trust header folding as a
sign from format-patch that newlines should be preserved.
Instead, format-patch needs to signal more explicitly that
the newlines are significant. This patch does so by
rfc2047-encoding the newlines in the subject line. No
changes are needed on the "git am" end; it already decodes
the newlines properly.

clean up calling conventions for pretty.c functions
We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.
Let's clean this up in a few ways:
1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
functions, since we were just passing around the
context values separately.
2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
was passed around separately. That's one less argument
per function.
3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
calling a little more uniform.
This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.
