pathspec: give better message for submodule related pathspec error

Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have
run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing
list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem
stating it is known.

This patch accomplishes two things:

1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message.

2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal
"there was something wrong with the input" message.

This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming
bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a
pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or
die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus.

The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature
of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due
to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user
wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before
dying with a more generic error message.

Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call
strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to
trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set,
such that we executed

if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen)
item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen;

and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/")
So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths,
that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This
is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly
different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.

To that end, let's move that test out of the function that parses the

has no idea whether we are performing an interactive rebase or not.

sequencer (rebase -i): add support for the 'fixup' and 'squash' commands

This is a huge patch, and at the same time a huge step forward to
execute the performance-critical parts of the interactive rebase in a
builtin command.

Since 'fixup' and 'squash' are not only similar, but also need to know
about each other (we want to reduce a series of fixups/squashes into a
single, final commit message edit, from the user's point of view), we
really have to implement them both at the same time.

Most of the actual work is done by the existing code path that already
handles the "pick" and the "edit" commands; We added support for other
features (e.g. to amend the commit message) in the patches leading up to
this one, yet there are still quite a few bits in this patch that simply
would not make sense as individual patches (such as: determining whether
there was anything to "fix up" in the "todo" script, etc).

In theory, it would be possible to reuse the fast-forward code path also
for the fixup and the squash code paths, but in practice this would make
the code less readable. The end result cannot be fast-forwarded anyway,
therefore let's just extend the cherry-picking code path for now.

Since the sequencer parses the entire `git-rebase-todo` script in one go,
fixup or squash commands without a preceding pick can be reported early
(in git-rebase--interactive, we could only report such errors just before
executing the fixup/squash).

patch, but includes the commit message and author information). To
that end, this patch requires the earlier work that taught the

determine whether a command is pick-like, i.e. handles a single commit),

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal deathJeff King Sat, 7 Jan 2017 01:22:23 +0000 (20:22 -0500)

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death

When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager,
this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed
external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and
quits (but only after eating one more character from the
terminal!). This fixes it.

Explaining the reason will require a little background.

When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to
hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it
has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the
pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session
leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish
its current read from the terminal (eating the one
character), and then get EIO trying to read again.

When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager,
and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the
git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We
addressed that long ago in a3da882120 (pager: do
wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22).

But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to
a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's
an extra process in the mix. For instance, running:

$ git -c alias.l=log l

will end up with a process tree like:

git (parent)
\
git-log (child)
\
less (pager)

If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores
it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager().
But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO
trouble happens.

So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(),
but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at
all, since it was started by the child. However, we can
have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting
on the pager. And that's what this patch does.

There are a few design decisions here worth explaining:

1. The new feature is attached to run-command's
clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience,
since that feature already has a signal handler that
deals with child cleanup.

But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason
that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the
two processes together. If somebody kills the parent
with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this
instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't
matter because the original signal went to the whole
process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent
to go away until the child has done so.

In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish
this binding by just having the parent execve() the
child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows,
everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like
interface.

2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any
clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes
sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but
waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other
children, it's possible that the child, after getting
the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do
something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to
wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So
this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers
enable the feature explicitly.

3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all
the signals first, before waiting on any children. This
is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting
on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform
all of them that it's time to die before reaping any.

In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run
from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now.
But it future-proofs us if other callers start using
the wait_after_clean mechanism.

There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy
and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by
running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

execv_dashed_external: stop exiting with negative code

When we try to exec a git sub-command, we pass along the
status code from run_command(). But that may return -1 if we
ran into an error with pipe() or execve(). This tends to
work (and end up as 255 due to twos-complement wraparound
and truncation), but in general it's probably a good idea to
avoid negative exit codes for portability.

We can easily translate to the normal generic "128" code we
get when syscalls cause us to die.

When we run a dashed external, we use the one-liner
run_command_v_opt() to do so. Let's switch to using a
child_process struct, which has two advantages:

1. We can drop all of the allocation and cleanup code for
building our custom argv array, and just rely on the
builtin argv_array (at the minor cost of doing a few
extra mallocs).

2. We have access to the complete range of child_process
options, not just the ones that the "_opt()" form can
forward.

blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each... Jeff King Fri, 6 Jan 2017 04:20:51 +0000 (23:20 -0500)

blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each file

It's possible for content currently found in one file to
have originated in two separate files, each of which may
have been modified in some single older commit. The
--porcelain output generates an incorrect "previous" header
in this case, whereas --line-porcelain gets it right. The
problem is that the porcelain output tries to omit repeated
details of commits, and treats "previous" as a property of
the commit, when it is really a property of the blamed block
of lines.

Let's look at an example. In a case like this, you might see
this output from --line-porcelain:

SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_two
filename file_two
...some different content....

The "filename" fields tell us that the two lines are from
two different files. But notice that the filename also
appears in the "previous" field, which tells us where to
start a re-blame. The second content line never appeared in
file_one at all, so we would obviously need to re-blame from
file_two (or possibly even some other file, if had just been
renamed to file_two in SOME_SHA1).

So far so good. Now here's what --porcelain looks like:

SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
filename file_two
...some different content....

We've dropped the author and committer fields from the
second line, as they would just be repeats. But we can't
omit "filename", because it depends on the actual block of
blamed lines, not just the commit. This is handled by
emit_porcelain_details(), which will show the filename
either if it is the first mention of the commit _or_ if the
commit has multiple paths in it.

But we don't give "previous" the same handling. It's written
inside emit_one_suspect_detail(), which bails early if we've
already seen that commit. And so the output above is wrong;
a reader would assume that the correct place to re-blame
line two is from file_one, but that's obviously nonsense.

Let's treat "previous" the same as "filename", and show it
fresh whenever we know we are in a confusing case like this.

blame: handle --no-abbrevJeff King Fri, 6 Jan 2017 04:18:08 +0000 (23:18 -0500)

blame: handle --no-abbrev

You can already ask blame for full sha1s with "-l" or with
"--abbrev=40". But for consistency with other parts of Git,
we should support "--no-abbrev".

Worse, blame already accepts --no-abbrev, but it's totally
broken. When we see --no-abbrev, the abbrev variable is set
to 0, which is then used as a printf precision. For regular
sha1s, that means we print nothing at all (which is very
wrong). For boundary commits we decrement it to "-1", which
printf interprets as "no limit" (which is almost correct,
except it misses the 39-length magic explained in the
previous commit).

Let's detect --no-abbrev and behave as if --abbrev=40 was
given.

blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40Jeff King Fri, 6 Jan 2017 04:17:40 +0000 (23:17 -0500)

blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40

The blame command internally adds 1 to any requested sha1
abbreviation length, and then subtracts it when outputting a
boundary commit. This lets regular and boundary sha1s line
up visually, but it misses one corner case.

When the requested length is 40, we bump the value to 41.
But since we only have 40 characters, that's all we can show
(fortunately the truncation is done by a printf precision
field, so it never tries to read past the end of the
buffer). So a normal sha1 shows 40 hex characters, and a
boundary sha1 shows "^" plus 40 hex characters. The result
is misaligned.

The "-l" option to show long sha1s gets around this by
skipping the "abbrev" variable entirely and just always
using GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ. This avoids the "+1" issue, but it
does mean that boundary commits only have 39 characters
printed. This is somewhat odd, but it does look good
visually: the results are aligned and left-justified. The
alternative would be to allocate an extra column that would
contain either an extra space or the "^" boundary marker.

As this is by definition the human-readable view, it's
probably not that big a deal either way (and of course
--porcelain, etc, correctly produce correct 40-hex sha1s).
But for consistency, this patch teaches --abbrev=40 to
produce the same output as "-l" (always left-aligned, with
40-hex for normal sha1s, and "^" plus 39-hex for
boundaries).

rebase--interactive: count squash commits above 10... Jeff King Sat, 7 Jan 2017 08:23:19 +0000 (03:23 -0500)

rebase--interactive: count squash commits above 10 correctly

We generate the squash commit message incrementally running
a sed script once for each commit. It parses "This is
a combination of <N> commits" from the first line of the
existing message, adds one to <N>, and uses the result as
the number of our current message.

Since f2d17068fd (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of
squash for translation, 2016-06-17), the first line may be
localized, and sed uses a pretty liberal regex, looking for:

/^#.*([0-9][0-9]*)/

The "[0-9][0-9]*" tries to match double digits, but it
doesn't quite work. The first ".*" is greedy, so if you
have:

This is a combination of 10 commits.

it will eat up "This is a combination of 1", leaving "0" to
match the first "[0-9]" digit, and then skipping the
optional match of "[0-9]*".

As a result, the count resets every 10 commits, and a
15-commit squash would end up as:

# This is a combination of 5 commits.
# This is the 1st commit message:
...
# This is the commit message #2:
... and so on ..
# This is the commit message #10:
...
# This is the commit message #1:
...
# This is the commit message #2:
... etc, up to 5 ...

We can fix this by making the ".*" less greedy. Instead of
depending on ".*?" working portably, we can just limit the
match to non-digit characters, which accomplishes the same
thing.

giteveryday: unbreak rendering with AsciiDoctor

The "giteveryday" document has a callout list that contains a code
block. This is not a problem for AsciiDoc, but AsciiDoctor sadly was
explicitly designed *not* to render this correctly [*1*]. The symptom is
an unhelpful

line 322: callout list item index: expected 1 got 12
line 325: no callouts refer to list item 1
line 325: callout list item index: expected 2 got 13
line 327: no callouts refer to list item 2

In Git for Windows, we rely on the speed improvement of AsciiDoctor (on
this developer's machine, `make -j15 html` takes roughly 30 seconds with
AsciiDoctor, 70 seconds with AsciiDoc), therefore we need a way to
render this correctly.

The easiest way out is to simplify the callout list, as suggested by
AsciiDoctor's author, even while one may very well disagree with him
that a code block hath no place in a callout list.

mingw: add a regression test for pushing to UNC paths

On Windows, there are "UNC paths" to access network (AKA shared)
folders, of the form \\server\sharename\directory. This provides a
convenient way for Windows developers to share their Git repositories
without having to have a dedicated server.

Git for Windows v2.11.0 introduced a regression where pushing to said
UNC paths no longer works, although fetching and cloning still does, as
reported here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/979

This regression was fixed in 7814fbe3f1 (normalize_path_copy(): fix
pushing to //server/share/dir on Windows, 2016-12-14).

Let's make sure that it does not regress again, by introducing a test
that uses so-called "administrative shares": disk volumes are
automatically shared under certain circumstances, e.g. the C: drive is
shared as \\localhost\c$. The test needs to be skipped if the current
directory is inaccessible via said administrative share, of course.

things that are hard coded. This is the only place in C that hard codes
the git directory environment variable, so fix it.

git-p4: do not pass '-r 0' to p4 commands

git-p4 crashes when used with a very old p4 client version
that does not support the '-r <number>' option in its commands.

Allow making git-p4 work with old p4 clients by setting git-p4.retries to 0.

Alternatively git-p4.retries could be made opt-in.
But since only very old, barely maintained p4 versions don't support
the '-r' option, the setting-retries-to-0 workaround would do.

The "-r retries" option is present in Perforce 2012.2 Command Reference,
but absent from Perforce 2012.1 Command Reference.

auto gc: don't write bitmaps for incremental repacks

When git gc --auto does an incremental repack of loose objects, we do
not expect to be able to write a bitmap; it is very likely that
objects in the new pack will have references to objects outside of the
pack. So we shouldn't try to write a bitmap, because doing so will
likely issue a warning.

This warning was making its way into gc.log. When the gc.log was
present, future auto gc runs would refuse to run.

rm: absorb a submodules git dir before deletionStefan Beller Tue, 27 Dec 2016 19:03:14 +0000 (11:03 -0800)

rm: absorb a submodules git dir before deletion

When deleting a submodule, we need to keep the actual git directory around,
such that we do not lose local changes in there and at a later checkout
of the submodule we don't need to clone it again.

Now that the functionality is available to absorb the git directory of a
submodule, rewrite the checking in git-rm to not complain, but rather
relocate the git directories inside the superproject.

An alternative solution was discussed to have a function
`depopulate_submodule`. That would couple the check for its git directory
and possible relocation before the the removal, such that it is less
likely to miss the check in the future. But the indirection with such
a function added seemed also complex. The reason for that was that this
possible move of the git directory was also implemented in
`ok_to_remove_submodule`, such that this function could truthfully
answer whether it is ok to remove the submodule.

The solution proposed here defers all these checks to the caller.

submodule: rename and add flags to ok_to_remove_submoduleStefan Beller Tue, 20 Dec 2016 23:20:11 +0000 (15:20 -0800)

submodule: rename and add flags to ok_to_remove_submodule

In different contexts the question "Is it ok to delete a submodule?"
may be answered differently.

In 293ab15eea (submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they
contain a git directory, 2012-09-26) a case was made that we can safely
ignore ignored untracked files for removal as we explicitely ask for the
removal of the submodule.

In a later patch we want to remove submodules even when the user doesn't
explicitly ask for it (e.g. checking out a tree-ish in which the submodule
doesn't exist). In that case we want to be more careful when it comes
to deletion of untracked files. As of this patch it is unclear how this
will be implemented exactly, so we'll offer flags in which the caller
can specify how the different untracked files ought to be handled.

As the flags allow the function to not die on an error when spawning
a child process, we need to find an appropriate return code for the
case when the child process could not be started. As in that case we
cannot tell if the submodule is ok to remove, we'd want to return 'false'.

As only 0 is understood as false, rename the function to invert the
meaning, i.e. the return code of 0 signals the removal of the submodule
is fine, and other values can be used to return a more precise answer
what went wrong.

submodule.h: add extern keyword to functions

As the upcoming series will add a lot of functions to the submodule
header, let's first make the header consistent to the rest of the project
by adding the extern keyword to functions.

As per the CodingGuidelines we try to stay below 80 characters per line,
so adapt all those functions to stay below 80 characters that are already
using more than one line. Those function using just one line are better
kept in one line than breaking them up into multiple lines just for the
goal of staying below the character limit as it makes grepping
for functions easier if they are one liners.

diff: retire "compaction" heuristicsJunio C Hamano Fri, 23 Dec 2016 20:32:22 +0000 (12:32 -0800)

diff: retire "compaction" heuristics

When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.

We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.

Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.
