rebase: align variable names

git-rebase--interactive.sh will soon be sourced from
git-rebase.sh. Align the names of variables used in these scripts to
prepare for that.

Some names in git-rebase--interactive.sh, such as "author_script" and
"amend", are currently used in their upper case form to refer to a
file and in their lower case form to refer to something else. In these
cases, change the name of the existing lower case variable and
downcase the name of the variable that refers to the file.

Currently, git-rebase.sh uses mostly lower case variable names, while
git-rebase--interactive.sh uses mostly upper case variable names. For
consistency, downcase all variables, not just the ones that will be
shared between the two script files.

rebase: stricter check of standalone sub commandMartin von Zweigbergk Sun, 6 Feb 2011 18:43:36 +0000 (13:43 -0500)

rebase: stricter check of standalone sub command

The sub commands '--continue', '--skip' or '--abort' may only be used
standalone according to the documentation. Other options following the
sub command are currently not accepted, but options preceeding them
are. For example, 'git rebase --continue -v' is not accepted, while
'git rebase -v --continue' is. Tighten up the check and allow no other
options when one of these sub commands are used.

Only check that it is standalone for non-interactive rebase for
now. Once the command line processing for interactive rebase has been
replaced by the command line processing in git-rebase.sh, this check
will also apply to interactive rebase.

rebase: improve detection of rebase in progressMartin von Zweigbergk Sun, 6 Feb 2011 18:43:34 +0000 (13:43 -0500)

rebase: improve detection of rebase in progress

Detect early on if a rebase is in progress and what type of rebase it
is (interactive, merge-based or am-based). This prepares for further
refactoring where am-based rebase will be dispatched to
git-rebase--am.sh and merge-based rebase will be dispatched to
git-rebase--merge.sh.

The idea is to use the same variables whether the type of rebase was
detected from rebase-apply/ or rebase-merge/ directories or from the
command line options. This will make the code more readable and will
later also make it easier to dispatch to the type-specific scripts.

Also show a consistent error message independent of the type of rebase
that was in progress and remove the obsolete wording about being in
the middle of a 'patch application', since that (an existing
"$GIT_DIR"/rebase-apply/applying) aborts 'git rebase' at an earlier
stage.

rebase: refactor reading of stateMartin von Zweigbergk Sun, 6 Feb 2011 18:43:31 +0000 (13:43 -0500)

rebase: refactor reading of state

The code reading the state saved in $merge_dir or $rebase_dir is
currently spread out in many places, making it harder to read and to
introduce additional state. Extract this code into one method that
reads the state. Only extract the code associated with the state that
is written when the rebase is initiated. Leave the state that changes
for each commmit, at least for now.

Currently, when resuming a merge-based rebase using --continue or
--skip, move_to_original_branch (via finish_rb_merge) will be called
without head_name and orig_head set. These variables are then lazily
read in move_to_original_branch if head_name is not set (together with
onto, which is unnecessarily read again). Change this by always
eagerly reading the state, for both am-based and merge-based rebase,
in the --continue and --skip cases. Note that this does not change the
behavior for am-based rebase, which read the state eagerly even before
this commit.

Reading the state eagerly means that part of the state will sometimes
be read unnecessarily. One example is when the rebase is continued,
but stops again at another merge conflict. Another example is when the
rebase is aborted. However, since both of these cases involve user
interaction, the delay is hopefully not noticeable. The
call_merge/continue_merge loop is not affected.

fast-import: introduce "feature notes" commandJonathan Nieder Wed, 9 Feb 2011 22:43:57 +0000 (16:43 -0600)

fast-import: introduce "feature notes" command

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.

When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.

Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like

This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.

So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" command

The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored. Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.

Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works. Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.

"git diff --cached" (without revision) used to mean "git diff --cached
HEAD" (i.e. the user was too lazy to type HEAD). This "correctly"
failed when there was no commit yet. But was that correctness useful?

This patch changes the definition of what particular command means.
It is a request to show what _would_ be committed without further "git
add". The internal implementation is the same "git diff --cached HEAD"
when HEAD exists, but when there is no commit yet, it compares the index
with an empty tree object to achieve the desired result.

OFS_DELTA is smaller, about 3.2%-5% smaller, and is typically faster
to access than REF_DELTA because the exact location of the delta base
is available after parsing the object header. Since all bundle aware
versions of Git are also OFS_DELTA aware, just make it the default.

# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#

This does not make it clear that the format of each line is

<insn> <commit id> <explanatory text that will be printed>

but the reader will probably infer that from the automatically
generated pick examples above it.

What about the "exec" instruction? By analogy, I might imagine that
the format of that line is "exec <command> <explanatory text>", and
the "x <cmd>" hint does not address that question (at first I read it
as taking an argument <cmd> that is the name of a shell). Meanwhile,
the mention of <cmd> makes the hints harder to scan as a table.

So remove the <cmd> and add some words to remind the reader that
"exec" runs a command named by the rest of the line. To make room, it
is left to the manpage to explain that that command is run using
$SHELL and that nonzero status from that command will pause the
rebase.

fast-import: treat filemodify with empty tree as delete

Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty
subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the
general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories.

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include
an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit:

M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 subdir

One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree
corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a
subtree. It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree
--prefix' to treat such commands as requests to remove the subtree.

rebase: use explicit "--" with checkoutJeff King Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:26:59 +0000 (19:26 -0500)

rebase: use explicit "--" with checkout

In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:

1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
current branch instead of producing an error.

2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
explicit "--" is better:

# before
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Could not checkout bogus

# after
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
fatal: invalid reference: bogus
Could not checkout bogus

The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir

The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.

However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.

Documentation: do not treat reset --keep as a special case

The current treatment of "git reset --keep" emphasizes how it
differs from --hard (treatment of local changes) and how it breaks
down into plumbing (git read-tree -m -u HEAD <commit> followed by git
update-ref HEAD <commit>). This can discourage people from using
it, since it might seem to be a complex or niche option.

Better to emphasize what the --keep flag is intended for --- moving
the index and worktree from one commit to another, like "git checkout"
would --- so the reader can make a more informed decision about the
appropriate situations in which to use it.

Correctly report corrupted objectsBjörn Steinbrink Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:12:20 +0000 (21:12 +0100)

Correctly report corrupted objects

The errno check added in commit 3ba7a06 "A loose object is not corrupt
if it cannot be read due to EMFILE" only checked for whether errno is
not ENOENT and thus incorrectly treated "no error" as an error
condition.

Because of that, it never reached the code path that would report that
the object is corrupted and instead caused funny errors like:

fatal: failed to read object 333c4768ce595793fdab1ef3a036413e2a883853: Success

So we have to extend the check to cover the case in which the object
file was successfully read, but its contents are corrupted.

Use repeated function calls instead of a loop for the
language-specific tests, so the invocations can be easily tweaked
individually (for example if one starts to fail).

userdiff: simplify word-diff safeguard

git's diff-words support has a detail that can be a little dangerous:
any text not matched by a given language's tokenization pattern is
treated as whitespace and changes in such text would go unnoticed.
Therefore each of the built-in regexes allows a special token type
consisting of a single non-whitespace character [^[:space:]].

To make sure UTF-8 sequences remain human readable, the builtin
regexes also have a special token type for runs of bytes with the high
bit set. In English, non-ASCII characters are usually isolated so
this is analogous to the [^[:space:]] pattern, except it matches a
single _multibyte_ character despite use of the C locale.

Unfortunately it is easy to make typos or forget entirely to include
these catch-all token types when adding support for new languages (see
v1.7.3.5~16, userdiff: fix typo in ruby and python word regexes,
2010-12-18). Avoid this by including them automatically within the
PATTERNS and IPATTERN macros.

While at it, change the UTF-8 sequence token type to match exactly one
non-ASCII multi-byte character, rather than an arbitrary run of them.

t4034: bulk verify builtin word regex sanity

The builtin word regexes should be tested with some simple examples
against simple issues. Do this in bulk.

Mainly due to a lack of language knowledge and inspiration, most of
the test cases (cpp, csharp, java, objc, pascal, php, python, ruby)
are directly based off a C operator precedence table to verify that
all operators are split correctly. This means that they are probably
incomplete or inaccurate except for 'cpp' itself.

Still, they are good enough to already have uncovered a typo in the
python and ruby patterns.

'fortran' is based on my anecdotal knowledge of the DO10I parsing
rules, and thus probably useless. The rest (bibtex, html, tex) are an
ad-hoc test of what I consider important splits in those languages.

fast-import: Introduce --import-marks-if-exists

When a frontend uses a marks file to ensure its state persists between
runs, it may represent "clean slate" when bootstrapping with "no marks
yet". In such a case, feeding the last state with --import-marks and
saving the state after the current run with --export-marks would be a
natural thing to do.

The --import-marks option however errors out when the specified marks file
doesn't exist; this makes bootstrapping a bit difficult. The location of
the marks file becomes backend-dependent when --relative-marks is in
effect, and the frontend cannot check for the existence of the file in
such a case.

The --import-marks-if-exists option does the same thing as --import-marks
but does not flag an error if the named file does not exist yet to help
these frontends.

t0000: quote TAP snippets in test code

t0000 contains two snippets of actual test output. This causes
problems when passing -v to the test[*]: the test infrastructure
echoes the tests before running them, and the TAP parser then sees
this test output and concludes that two tests failed and that the TAP
output was badly formatted.

Guard against this by quoting the output in the source.

[*] either by running 'make smoke' with GIT_TEST_OPTS=-v, or with
prove ./t0000-basic.sh :: -v

unpack-trees: handle lstat failure for existing file

When check_leading_path notices a file in the way of a new entry to be
checked out, verify_absent uses (1) the mode to determine whether it
is a directory (2) the rest of the stat information to check if this
is actually an old entry, disguised by a change in filename (e.g.,
README -> Readme) that is significant to git but insignificant to the
underlying filesystem. If lstat fails, these checks are performed
with an uninitialied stat structure, producing essentially random
results.

Better to just error out when lstat fails.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to remove a file after the
check_leading_path call and before the lstat in verify_absent. An
lstat failure other than ENOENT in check_leading_path would also
trigger the same code path.

unpack-trees: handle lstat failure for existing directoryJonathan Nieder Thu, 13 Jan 2011 02:26:36 +0000 (20:26 -0600)

unpack-trees: handle lstat failure for existing directory

When check_leading_path notices no file in the way of the new entry to
be checked out, verify_absent checks whether there is a directory
there or nothing at all. If that lstat call fails (for example due to
ENOMEM), it assumes ENOENT, meaning a directory with untracked files
would be clobbered in that case.

Check errno after calling lstat, and for conditions other than ENOENT,
just error out.

This is a theoretical race condition. lstat has to succeed moments
before it fails for there to be trouble.

commit: suggest --amend --reset-author to fix commiter identity

Since the message advises to fix the configuration first, the
advantage of using this command is that it is cut-and-paste ready,
while using --author='...' requires the user to type his name and
email again.

t9157-*.sh: Make the svn version check more preciseRamsay Jones Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:21:26 +0000 (23:21 +0000)

t9157-*.sh: Make the svn version check more precise

These tests require an svn version 1.5 or newer to run correctly.
In particular, all 1.4.x versions and earlier are too old, so fix
up the case label regex to cover this range exactly.
