rebase -i continue: don't skip commits that only change submodules
When git-rebase--interactive stops due to a conflict and the only change
to be committed is in a submodule, the test for whether there is
anything to be committed ignores the staged submodule change. This
leads rebase to skip creating the commit for the change.
While unstaged submodule changes should be ignored to avoid needing to
update submodules during a rebase, it is safe to remove the
--ignore-submodules option to diff-index because --cached ensures that
it is only checking the index. This was discussed in [1] and a test is
included to ensure that unstaged changes are still ignored correctly.
Avoid bug in Solaris xpg4/sed as used in submodule
The sed provided by Solaris in /usr/xpg4/bin has a bug whereby an
unanchored regex using * for zero or more repetitions sees two
separate matches fed to the substitution engine in some cases.
This is evidenced by:
$ for sed in /usr/xpg4/bin/sed /usr/bin/sed /opt/csw/gnu/sed; do \
echo 'ab' | $sed -e 's|[a]*|X|g'; \
done
XXbX
XbX
XbX
This bug was triggered during a git submodule clone operation as
exercised in the setup stage of t5526-fetch-submodules when using the
default SANE_TOOL_PATH for Solaris. It led to paths such as
..../.. being used in the submodule .git gitdir reference.
Using the expression 's|\([^/]*\(/*\)\)|..\2|g' provides the desired
result with all three three tested sed implementations but is harder
to read. As we do not need to handle fully qualified paths though,
the expression could actually be [^/]+ which isn't properly handled
either. Instead, use [^/][^/]*, as suggested by Andreas Schwab, which
works on all three tested sed implementations.
The new expression is semantically different than the original one.
It will not place a leading '..' on a fully qualified path as the
original expression did. All of the paths being passed through this
regex are relative and did not rely on this behaviour so it's a safe
change.

run-command: treat inaccessible directories as ENOENT
When execvp reports EACCES, it can be one of two things:
1. We found a file to execute, but did not have
permissions to do so.
2. We did not have permissions to look in some directory
in the $PATH.
In the former case, we want to consider this a
permissions problem and report it to the user as such (since
getting this for something like "git foo" is likely a
configuration error).
In the latter case, there is a good chance that the
inaccessible directory does not contain anything of
interest. Reporting "permission denied" is confusing to the
user (and prevents our usual "did you mean...?" lookup). It
also prevents git from trying alias lookup, since we do so
only when an external command does not exist (not when it
exists but has an error).
This patch detects EACCES from execvp, checks whether we are
in case (2), and if so converts errno to ENOENT. This
behavior matches that of "bash" (but not of simpler shells
that use execvp more directly, like "dash").

compat/mingw.[ch]: Change return type of exec functions to int
The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec
functions. In addition, all exec functions return -1 on error, and
simply do not return on success. However, the current emulation of
the exec functions on mingw are declared with a void return type.
This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the
exec function in a non-void context. In particular, if an exec
function were used in a conditional it would fail to compile.
In order to improve the fidelity of the emulation, we change the
return type of the mingw_execv[p] functions to int and return -1
on error.

push: error out when the "upstream" semantics does not make sense
The user can say "git push" without specifying any refspec. When using
the "upstream" semantics via the push.default configuration, the user
wants to update the "upstream" branch of the current branch, which is the
branch at a remote repository the current branch is set to integrate with,
with this command.
However, there are cases that such a "git push" that uses the "upstream"
semantics does not make sense:
- The current branch does not have branch.$name.remote configured. By
definition, "git push" that does not name where to push to will not
know where to push to. The user may explicitly say "git push $there",
but again, by definition, no branch at repository $there is set to
integrate with the current branch in this case and we wouldn't know
which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have branch.$name.remote configured, but it
does not specify branch.$name.merge that names what branch at the
remote this branch integrates with. "git push" knows where to push in
this case (or the user may explicitly say "git push $remote" to tell us
where to push), but we do not know which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have its remote and upstream branch configured,
but the user said "git push $there", where $there is not the remote
named by "branch.$name.remote". By definition, no branch at repository
$there is set to integrate with the current branch in this case, and
this push is not meant to update any branch at the remote repository
$there.
The first two cases were already checked correctly, but the third case was
not checked and we ended up updating the branch named branch.$name.merge
at repository $there, which was totally bogus.
add--interactive: ignore unmerged entries in patch mode
When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined
diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be
confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there
are other changes to stage (in which case you get the
superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or
not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program
exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes").
The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the
implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly
remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and
print a warning that we are ignoring them.
We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding
"--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run.
There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing
this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a
numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we
would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX'
field. Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must
move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is
sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places,
since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw
entry).

Use SHELL_PATH from build system in run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd
During the testing of the 1.7.10 rc series on Solaris for OpenCSW, it
was discovered that t7006-pager was failing due to finding a bad "sh"
in PATH after a call to execvp("sh", ...). This call was setup by
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd.
The PATH in use at the time saw /opt/csw/bin given precedence to
traditional Solaris paths such as /usr/bin and /usr/xpg4/bin. A
package named schilyutils (Joerg Schilling's utilities) was installed
on the build system and it delivered a modified version of the
traditional Solaris /usr/bin/sh as /opt/csw/bin/sh. This version of
sh suffers from many of the same problems as /usr/bin/sh.
The command-specific pager test failed due to the broken "sh" handling
^ as a pipe character. It tried to fork two processes when it
encountered "sed s/^/foo:/" as the pager command. This problem was
entirely dependent on the PATH of the user at runtime.
Possible fixes for this issue are:
1. Use the standard system() or popen() which both launch a POSIX
shell on Solaris as long as _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
2. The git wrapper could prepend SANE_TOOL_PATH to PATH thus forcing
all unqualified commands run to use the known good tools on the
system.
3. The run_command.c:prepare_shell_command() could use the same
SHELL_PATH that is in the #! line of all all scripts and not rely
on PATH to find the sh to run.
Option 1 would preclude opening a bidirectional pipe to a filter
script and would also break git for Windows as cmd.exe is spawned from
system() (cf. v1.7.5-rc0~144^2, "alias: use run_command api to execute
aliases, 2011-01-07).
Option 2 is not friendly to users as it would negate their ability to
use tools of their choice in many cases. Alternately, injecting
SANE_TOOL_PATH such that it takes precedence over /bin and /usr/bin
(and anything with lower precedence than those paths) as
git-sh-setup.sh does would not solve the problem either as the user
environment could still allow a bad sh to be found. (Many OpenCSW
users will have /opt/csw/bin leading their PATH and some subset would
have schilyutils installed.)
Option 3 allows us to use a known good shell while still honouring the
users' PATH for the utilities being run. Thus, it solves the problem
while not negatively impacting either users or git's ability to run
external commands in convenient ways. Essentially, the shell is a
special case of tool that should not rely on SANE_TOOL_PATH and must
be called explicitly.
With this patch applied, any code path leading to
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd can count on using the same sane shell
that all shell scripts in the git suite use. Both the build system
and run_command.c will default this shell to /bin/sh unless
overridden.

var doc: default editor and pager are configurable at build time
Some distributors customize the fallback pager and editor used by git
commands when the user has not indicated a preference via the
core.editor/core.pager configuration or GIT_EDITOR, GIT_PAGER, VISUAL,
EDITOR, and PAGER environment variables, and git's build system
provides DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR makefile settings to help
them with that (see v1.6.6-rc0~24, 2009-11-20).
Unfortunately those compile-time settings do not affect the
documentation, so the uninitiated user who tries to understand git by
reading the git-var(1) manpage can easily be confused when git falls
back to 'nano' and 'more' instead of 'vi' and 'less'. Even if the
distributor patches the distributed docs to reflect the new default,
the user may read the official documentation from the git-htmldocs
repository online and be confused in the same way.
Add a few words stating that the defaults are customizable at
compile time to make the behavior crystal clear.

commit: rephrase the error when user did not touch templated log message
When the user exited editor without editing the commit log template given
by "git commit -t <template>", the commit was aborted (correct) with an
error message that said "due to empty commit message" (incorrect).
This was because the original template support was done by piggybacking on
the check to detect an empty log message. Split the codepaths into two
independent checks to clarify the error.
commit: do not trigger bogus "has templated message edited" check
When "-t template" and "-F msg" options are both given (or worse yet,
there is "commit.template" configuration but a message is given in some
other way), the documentation says that template is ignored. However,
the "has the user edited the message?" check still used the contents of
the template file as the basis of the emptyness check.
These tests try to run "git commit" with various "forbidden" combinations
of options and expect the command to fail, but they do so without having
any change added to the index. We wouldn't be able to catch breakages
that would allow these combinations by mistake with them because the
command will fail with "nothing to commit" anyway.
Make sure we have something added to the index before running the command.
The http-backend program sets default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL variables based on the REMOTE_USER and
REMOTE_ADDR variables provided by the webserver. However, it
unconditionally overwrites any existing GIT_COMMITTER
variables, which may have been customized by site-specific
code in the webserver (or in a script wrapping http-backend).
Let's leave those variables intact if they already exist,
assuming that any such configuration was intentional. There
is a slight chance of a regression if somebody has set
GIT_COMMITTER_* for the entire webserver, not intending it
to leak through http-backend. We could protect against this
by passing the information in alternate variables. However,
it seems unlikely that anyone will care about that
regression, and there is value in the simplicity of using
the common variable names that are used elsewhere in git.
While we're tweaking the environment-handling in
http-backend, let's switch it to use argv_array to handle
the list of variables. That makes the memory management much
simpler.

When applying a patch that was based on an older release with "am -3", I
often wonder changes to which files need to be reviewed with extra care to
spot mismerges, but there is no good indication.
The paths that needed 3-way fallback can easily be obtained by comparing
the synthesized (partial) base tree and the current HEAD and noticing only
additions and modifications (removals only show the sparseness of the fake
ancestor tree, which is not useful information at all). List them in the
usual --name-status format.
The fn_table is used to record the result of earlier patch application in
case a hand-crafted input file contains multiple patches to the same file.
Both its string key (filename) and the contents are borrowed from "struct
patch" that represents the previous application in the same apply_patch()
call, and they do not leak, but the table itself was not freed properly.
These were all allocated in the heap by parsing the header parts of the
patch, but we did not bother to free them. Some used to share the memory
(e.g. copying def_name to old_name) so this is not just the matter of
adding three calls to free().

Each ref structure contains a "nonfastforward" field which
is set during push to show whether the ref rewound history.
Originally this was a single bit, but it was changed in f25950f (push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward
errors) to an enum differentiating a non-ff of the current
branch versus another branch.
However, we never actually set the member according to the
enum values, nor did we ever read it expecting anything but
a boolean value. But we did use the side effect of declaring
the enum constants to store those values in a totally
different integer variable. The code as-is isn't buggy, but
the enum declaration inside "struct ref" is somewhat
misleading.
Let's convert nonfastforward back into a single bit, and
then define the NON_FF_* constants closer to where they
would be used (they are returned via the "int *nonfastforward"
parameter to transport_push, so we can define them there).

merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty files
Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies
"foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification
is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based
on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were
not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same
or similar content).
This is quite rare if the files actually contain content,
since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the
same content. However, empty files present a problem, in
that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting
placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related
to a placeholder file with another name.
The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause
confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your
content may end up in another random placeholder file that
was added.
Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty
files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict
on the merge, which will let the user sort it out
themselves.

teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content
Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of
removed and added files with similar or identical content.
It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to
compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename
detection when there is not enough content to produce good
results.
However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the
blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with
an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to
use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty
directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore).
This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are
interested in using empty files as rename sources and
destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original
behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for
rename sources and destinations.
One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller
to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for
rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate
files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file
in many directories).
A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename"
gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as
such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such
time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've
seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with
the simple thing.
