t3503: test cherry picking and reverting root commits
We already tested cherry-picking a root commit, but only
with the internal merge-recursive strategy. Let's also test
the recently-allowed reverting of a root commit, as well as
testing with external strategies (which until recently
triggered a segfault).

Although it is probably an uncommon operation, there is no
reason to disallow it, as it works just fine. It is the
reverse of a cherry-pick of a root commit, which is already
allowed.
We do have to tweak one check on whether we have a merge
commit, which assumed we had at least one parent.

cherry-pick: handle root commits with external strategies
The merge-recursive strategy already handles root commits;
it cherry-picks the difference between the empty tree and
the root commit's tree.
However, for external strategies, we dereference NULL and
segfault while building the argument list. Instead, let's
handle this by passing the empty tree sha1 to the merge
script.

diff: remove often unused parameters from diff_unmerge()
diff.c: return filepair from diff_unmerge()
test: use $_z40 from test-lib
setup_revisions(): take pathspec from command line and --stdin correctly
When the command line has "--" disambiguator, we take the remainder of
argv[] as "prune_data", but when --stdin is given at the same time,
we need to append to the existing prune_data and end up attempting to
realloc(3) it. That would not work.
Fix it by consistently using append_prune_data() throughout the input
processing. Also avoid counting the number of existing paths in the
function over and over again.
The zsh support of git-completion script in contrib/ is broken for current
versions of zsh, and does not notice when there's a subcommand.
For example: "git log origi<TAB>" gives no completions because it would
try to find a "git origi..." command. This will be fixed by zsh 4.3.12,
but for now we can workaround it by backporting the same fix as zsh folks
implemented.
The problem started after commit v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 (bash: get
--pretty=m<tab> completion to work with bash v4), which introduced
_get_comp_words_by_ref() that comes from bash-completion[1] scripts, and
relies on the 'words' variable.
However, it turns out 'words' is a special variable used by zsh
completion. From zshcompwid(1):
[...] the parameters are reset on each function exit (including nested
function calls from within the completion widget) to the values they had
when the function was entered.
As a result, subcommand words are lost. Ouch.
This is now fixed in the latest master branch of zsh[2] by simply defining
'words' as hidden (typeset -h), which removes the special meaning inside
the emulated bash function. So let's do the same.

Honor $(prefix) set in config.mak* when defining ETC_GIT*
Notice that the prefix specified for the build influenced the definitions
of ETC_GITCONFIG and ETC_GITATTRIBUTES only when it was exactly '/usr'.
Kacper Kornet noticed that this was furthermore only the case when the
build was triggered using 'make prefix=/usr', i.e., the prefix was given
on the command line; it did not work when the prefix was specified in
config.mak because this file is included much later in the Makefile.
To fix this, move the conditional after the inclusion of config.mak.
Additionally, it is desirable to specify the etc directory for a build
(for example, a build with prefix /usr/local may still want to have the
system configuration in /etc/gitconfig). For this purpose, promote the
variable 'sysconfdir' from a helper variable to a configuration
variable. The prefix check that was moved must now be wrapped so that it
does not override sysconfdir setting given in config.mak.

Revert "Honor $(prefix) set in config.mak* when defining ETC_GIT* and sysconfdir"
This reverts commit 2910bf56a4ffc13c398fb04ba32910cb3b724091, as it
does not really solve the issue of making $(sysconfigdir) any more
useful than it currently is.
Kacper Kornet noticed that a $variable in "word" in the above construct is
not substituted by his pdksh. Modern POSIX compliant shells (e.g. dash,
ksh, bash) all seem to interpret POSIX "2.6.2 Parameter Expansion" that
says "word shall be subjected to tilde expansion, parameter expansion,
command substitution, and arithmetic expansion" in ${parameter<op>word},
to mean that the word is expanded as if it appeared in dq pairs, so if the
word were "'$variable'" (sans dq) it would expand to a single quote, the
value of the $variable and then a single quote.
Johannes Sixt reports that the behavior of quoting at the right of :- when
the ${...:-...} expansion appears in double-quotes was debated recently at
length at the Austin group. We can avoid this issue and future-proof the
test by a slight rewrite.

The parsing of the additional command line parameters supplied to

Commit 09c9957 (send-pack: avoid deadlock when pack-object
dies early, 2011-04-25) attempted to fix a hang in the
stateless rpc case by closing a file descriptor early, but
we still need that descriptor.
Basically the deadlock can happen when pack-objects fails,
and the descriptor to upstream is left open. We never send
the pack, so the upstream is left waiting for us to say
something, and we are left waiting for upstream to close the
connection.
In the non-rpc case, our descriptor points straight to the
upstream. We hand it off to run-command, which takes
ownership and closes the descriptor after pack-objects
finishes (whether it succeeds or not).
Commit 09c9957 tried to emulate that in the rpc case. That
isn't right, though. We actually have a descriptor going
back to the remote-helper, and we need to keep using it
after pack-objects is finished. Closing it early completely
breaks pushing via smart-http.
We still need to do something on error to signal the
remote-helper that we won't be sending any pack data
(otherwise we get the deadlock). In an ideal world, we
would send a special packet back that says "Sorry, there was
an error". But the remote-helper doesn't understand any such
packet, so the best we can do is close the descriptor and
let it report that we hung up unexpectedly.

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

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.

"add -p": work-around an old laziness that does not coalesce hunks
Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02),
"git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the
underlying "git apply" without coalescing. This was partially corrected
by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are
still passed when the patch is edited.
Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety
feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches
to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath.
Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the
correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks.
add--interactive.perl: factor out repeated --recount option
Depending on the direction and the target of patch application, we would
need to pass --cached and --reverse to underlying "git apply". Also we
only pass --check when we are not applying but just checking.
But we always pass --recount since 8cbd431 (git-add--interactive: replace
hunk recounting with apply --recount, 2008-07-02). Instead of repeating
the same --recount over and over again, move it to a single place that
actually runs the command, namely, "run_git_apply" subroutine.
t3701: Editing a split hunk in an "add -p" session
Arnaud Lacombe reported that with the recent change to reject overlapping
hunks fed to "git apply", the edit mode of an "add -p" session that lazily
feeds overlapping hunks without coalescing adjacent ones claim that the
patch does not apply. Expose the problem to be fixed.
The "quit" command was added in 9a7a1e0 (git add -p: new "quit" command at
the prompt, 2009-04-10) to allow the user to say that hunks other than
what have already been chosen are undesirable, and exit the interactive
loop immediately. It forgot that there may be an undecided hunk before
the current one. In such a case, the interactive loop still goes back to
the beginning.
Clear all the USE bit for undecided hunks and exit the loop.

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
/

From: Foo "The Baz" Bar <author@example.com>

* js/maint-1.6.6-send-pack-stateless-rpc-deadlock-fix:
send-pack: avoid deadlock when pack-object dies early
Evil merge to adjust the way the use of pthreads in sideband-demultiplexor
was decided (earlier it was "if we are not on Windows", now it is "if we
are not using pthreads").
send-pack: avoid deadlock when pack-object dies early
Send-pack deadlocks in two ways when pack-object dies early (for example,
because there is some repo corruption).
The first deadlock happens with the smart push protocol (--stateless-rpc).
After the initial rev-exchange, the remote is waiting for the pack data
to arrive, and the sideband demuxer at the local side continues trying to
stream data from the remote repository until it gets EOF. Meanwhile,
send-pack (in function pack_objects()) has noticed that pack-objects did
not produce output and died. Back in send_pack(), it now tries to clean
up the sideband demuxer using finish_async(). The demuxer, however, waits
for the remote end to close down, the remote waits for pack data, and
the reason that it still waits is that send-pack forgot to close the
outgoing channel. Add the missing close() in pack_objects().
The second deadlock happens in a similar constellation when the sideband
demuxer runs in a forked process (rather than in a thread). Again, the
remote end waits for pack data to arrive, the sideband demuxer waits for
the remote to shut down, and send-pack (in the regular clean-up) waits for
the demuxer to terminate. This time, the send-pack parent process closes
the writable end of the outgoing channel (in start_command() that spawned
pack-objects) so that after the death of the pack-objects process all
writable ends should have been closed and the remote repo should see EOF.
This does not happen, however, because when the sideband demuxer was forked
earlier, it also inherited a writable end; it remains open and keeps the
remote repo from seeing EOF. To break this deadlock, close the writable end
in the demuxer.

Fix "add -u" that sometimes fails to resolve unmerged paths
"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working
tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are
different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths
that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for
the paths that are deleted in the working tree.
It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is
unmerged. For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged
path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and
the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is
used to record the resolution of a conflict.
As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while
the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of
recording what the user resolved in the working tree.
Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path
exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on
the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files
not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update
the index to reflect the state of the working tree.
The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug
and the fix. The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind,
but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.
Earlier, e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS
for unmerged entries., 2007-01-05) taught the command to show the object
name and the mode from the entry coming from the tree side when comparing
a tree with an unmerged index.
This is a belated companion patch that teaches diff-files to show the mode
from the entry coming from the working tree side, when comparing an
unmerged index and the working tree.
diff: remove often unused parameters from diff_unmerge()
e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for
unmerged entries., 2007-01-05) added a <mode, object name> pair as
parameters to this function, to store them in the pre-image side of an
unmerged file pair. Now the function is fixed to return the filepair it
queued, we can make the caller on the special case codepath to do so.
The underlying diff_queue() returns diff_filepair so that the caller can
further add information to it, and the helper function diff_unmerge()
utilizes the feature itself, but does not expose it to its callers, which
was kind of selfish.
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".
run-command: handle short writes and EINTR in die_child
If start_command fails after forking and before exec finishes, there
is not much use in noticing an I/O error on top of that.
finish_command will notice that the child exited with nonzero status
anyway. So as noted in v1.7.0.3~20^2 (run-command.c: fix build
warnings on Ubuntu, 2010-01-30) and v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 (2011-03-16), it
is safe to ignore errors from write in this codepath.
Even so, the result from write contains useful information: it tells
us if the write was cancelled by a signal (EINTR) or was only
partially completed (e.g., when writing to an almost-full pipe).
Let's use write_in_full to loop until the desired number of bytes have
been written (still ignoring errors if that fails).
As a happy side effect, the assignment to a dummy variable to appease
gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE is no longer needed. xwrite and write_in_full
check the return value from write(2).
Noticed with gcc -Wunused-but-set-variable.

In git versions starting at v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 until v1.7.5-rc3~2 (Revert
"run-command: prettify -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE workaround", 2011-04-18)
fixed it, the run_command facility would write a truncated error
message when the command is present but cannot be executed for some
other reason. For example, if I add a 'hello' command to git:
But with the problematic versions, we get disturbing output:
$ PATH=.:$PATH git hello
fatal: $
Add some tests to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The hello-script used in these tests uses cat instead of echo because
on Windows the bash spawned by git converts LF to CRLF in text written
by echo while the bash running tests does not, causing the test to
fail if "echo" is used. Thanks to Hannes for noticing.

Documentation/format-patch: suggest Toggle Word Wrap add-on for Thunderbird
Of the (now) three methods to send unmangled patches using Thunderbird,
this method is listed first because it provides a single-click on-demand
option rather than a permanent change of configuration like the other
two methods.
