Move "get_ack()" back to fetch-pack

In 41cb7488 Linus moved this function to connect.c for reuse inside
of the git-clone-pack command. That was 2005, but in 2006 Junio
retired git-clone-pack in commit efc7fa53. Since then the only
caller has been fetch-pack. Since this ACK/NAK exchange is only
used by the fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol we should move it back
to be a private detail of fetch-pack.

fetch-pack: Use a strbuf to compose the want list

This change is being offered as a refactoring to make later
commits in the smart HTTP series easier.

By changing the enabled capabilities to be formatted in a strbuf
it is easier to add a new capability to the set of supported
capabilities.

By formatting the want portion of the request into a strbuf and
writing it as a whole block we can later decide to hold onto
the req_buf (instead of releasing it) to recycle in stateless
communications.

Handle more shell metacharacters in editor namesJonathan Nieder Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:24:04 +0000 (20:24 -0500)

Handle more shell metacharacters in editor names

Pass the editor name to the shell if it contains any susv3 shell
special character (globs, redirections, variable substitutions,
escapes, etc). This way, the meaning of some characters will not
meaninglessly change when others are added, and git commands
implemented in C and in shell scripts will interpret editor names
in the same way.

This does not make the GIT_EDITOR setting any more expressive,
since one could always use single quotes to force the editor to
be passed to the shell.

Teach 'git merge' and 'git pull' the option --ff-only

For convenience in scripts and aliases, add the option
--ff-only to only allow fast-forwards (and up-to-date,
despite the name).

Disallow combining --ff-only and --no-ff, since they
flatly contradict each other.

Allow all other options to be combined with --ff-only
(i.e. do not add any code to handle them specially),
including the following options:

* --strategy (one or more): As long as the chosen merge
strategy results in up-to-date or fast-forward, the
command will succeed.

* --squash: I cannot imagine why anyone would want to
squash commits only if fast-forward is possible, but I
also see no reason why it should not be allowed.

* --message: The message will always be ignored, but I see
no need to explicitly disallow providing a redundant message.

ls-files: unbreak "ls-files -i"

Commit b5227d8 changed the behavior of "ls-files" with
respect to includes, but accidentally broke the "-i" option
The original behavior was:

1. if no "-i" is given, cull all results according to --exclude*
2. if "-i" is given, show the inverse of (1)

The broken behavior was:

1. if no "-i" is given:
a. for "-o", cull results according to --exclude*
b. for index files, always show all
2. if "-i" is given:
a. for "-o", shows the inverse of (1a)
b. for index files, always show all

The fixed behavior keeps the new (1b) behavior introduced
by b5227d8, but fixes the (2b) behavior to show only ignored
files, not all files.

This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text
was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now
inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not
quite a "reverse").

Add '--bisect' revision machinery argument

I personally use "git bisect visualize" all the time when I bisect, but it
turns out that that is not a very flexible model. Sometimes I want to do
bisection based on all commits (no pathname limiting), but then visualize
the current bisection tree with just a few pathnames because I _suspect_
those pathnames are involved in the problem but am not totally sure about
them.

And at other times, I want to use other revision parsing logic, none of
which is available with "git bisect visualize".

So this adds "--bisect" as a revision parsing argument, and as a result it
just works with all the normal logging tools. So now I can just do

gitk --bisect --simplify-by-decoration filename-here

Do not try to remove directories when removing old links

When building Git with MSVC on Windows, directories named after the Git alias
are created for the output files, e.g. there is a "git-merge-index" directory
next to the "git-merge-index.exe" executable in the build root. Previously,
"make all" just checked if "git-merge-index" and "git-merge-index.exe" are the
same file, and if not, tried to remove "git-merge-index". This fails in the
case of "git-merge-index" being a directory, which is why this is checked now.

Rewriting it to use a string list to keep track of which refs have

shows just the 'deleted file mode ...' line. This patch
cause "add -p" (and related commands) to recognize that line
and explicitly ask about deleting the file.

We only add the "stage this deletion" hunk for empty files,
since other files will already ask about the big content
deletion hunk. We could also change those files to simply
display "stage this deletion", but showing the actual
deleted content is probably what an interactive user wants.

Our gitignore doesn't use a preceding "/" to root its
patterns in the top of the repository. This means that if
you add a file or directory called "git" (for example)
inside a subdirectory, it will be erroneously ignored.

This patch was done mechanically with "s/^[^*]/\/&/" with
one exception: instead of ignoring gitk-wish, we should
gitk-git/gitk-wish (arguably, this should be done in
gitk-git/.gitignore, but because that is a subtree merge

Teach "git describe" --dirty optionJean Privat Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:35:22 +0000 (09:35 -0400)

Teach "git describe" --dirty option

With the --dirty option, git describe works on HEAD but append s"-dirty"
iff the contents of the work tree differs from HEAD. E.g.

$ git describe --dirty
v1.6.5-15-gc274db7
$ echo >> Makefile
$ git describe --dirty
v1.6.5-15-gc274db7-dirty

The --dirty option can also be used to specify what is appended, instead
of the default string "-dirty".

$ git describe --dirty=.mod
v1.6.5-15-gc274db7.mod

Many build scripts use `git describe` to produce a version number based on
the description of HEAD (on which the work tree is based) + saying that if
the build contains uncommitted changes. This patch helps the writing of
such scripts since `git describe --dirty` does directly the intended thing.

Three possiblities were considered while discussing this new feature:

1. Describe the work tree by default and describe HEAD only if "HEAD" is
explicitly specified

Pro: does the right thing by default (both for users and for scripts)
Pro: other git commands that works on the work tree by default
Con: breaks existing scripts used by the Linux kernel and other projects

2. Use --worktree instead of --dirty

Pro: does what it says: "git describe --worktree" describes the work tree
Con: other commands do not require a --worktree option when working
on the work tree (it often is the default mode for them)
Con: unusable with an optional value: "git describe --worktree=.mod"
is quite unintuitive.

3. Use --dirty as in this patch

Pro: makes sense to specify an optional value (what the dirty mark is)
Pro: does not have any of the big cons of previous alternatives
* does not break scripts
* is not inconsistent with other git commands

This patch takes the third approach.

This feature is long overdue; convert SVN's merge representation to git's
as revisions are imported. This works by converting the list of revisions
in each line of the svn:mergeinfo into git revision ranges, and then
checking the latest of each of these revision ranges for A) being new and
B) now being completely merged.

SVK is a simple case to start with, as its idea of merge parents
matches git's one. When a svk:merge ticket is encountered, check each
of the listed merged revisions to see if they are in the history of
this commit; if not, then we have encountered a merge - record it.

This is needed because we want to use the

Previously, we would load the config on demand only when we
needed to look at push.default. Which meant that "git push"

The first argument of the tar command is interpreted as a bundle of
letters specifying the mode of operation and additional options, with
any option arguments taken from subsequent words on the command line
as needed. The implementation of tar in busybox treats this bundle
as if preceded by a dash and then parses it by getopt rules, which
mishandles 'tar xfo -'. Use 'tar xof -' instead to work this around.

Quote ' as \(aq in manpages

The docbook/xmlto toolchain insists on quoting ' as \'. This does
achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the
apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right
circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages.

Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the
groff_char manpage.

Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not
portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF
which you need to enable to get the new quoting.

Fix incorrect error check while reading deflated pack... Junio C Hamano Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:06:14 +0000 (23:06 -0700)

Fix incorrect error check while reading deflated pack data

The loop in get_size_from_delta() feeds a deflated delta data from the
pack stream _until_ we get inflated result of 20 bytes[*] or we reach the
end of stream.

Side note. This magic number 20 does not have anything to do with the
size of the hash we use, but comes from 1a3b55c (reduce delta head
inflated size, 2006-10-18).

The loop reads like this:

do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while ((st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) &&
stream.total_out < sizeof(delta_head));

This git_inflate() can return:

- Z_STREAM_END, if use_pack() fed it enough input and the delta itself
was smaller than 20 bytes;

- Z_OK, when some progress has been made;

- Z_BUF_ERROR, if no progress is possible, because we either ran out of
input (due to corrupt pack), or we ran out of output before we saw the
end of the stream.

The fix b3118bd (sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corrupted,
2009-10-14) attempted was against a corruption that appears to be a valid
stream that produces a result larger than the output buffer, but we are
not even trying to read the stream to the end in this loop. If avail_out
becomes zero, total_out will be the same as sizeof(delta_head) so the loop
will terminate without the "fix". There is no fix from b3118bd needed for
this loop, in other words.

The loop in unpack_compressed_entry() is quite a different story. It
feeds a deflated stream (either delta or base) and allows the stream to
produce output up to what we expect but no more.

do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR)

This _does_ risk falling into an endless interation, as we can exhaust
avail_out if the length we expect is smaller than what the stream wants to
produce (due to pack corruption). In such a case, avail_out will become
zero and inflate() will return Z_BUF_ERROR, while avail_in may (or may
not) be zero.

But this is not a right fix:

do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
+ if (st == Z_BUF_ERROR && (stream.avail_in || !stream.avail_out)
+ break; /* wants more input??? */
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR)

as Z_BUF_ERROR from inflate() may be telling us that avail_in has also run
out before reading the end of stream marker. In such a case, both avail_in
and avail_out would be zero, and the loop should iterate to allow the end
of stream marker to be seen by inflate from the input stream.

The right fix for this loop is likely to be to increment the initial
avail_out by one (we allocate one extra byte to terminate it with NUL
anyway, so there is no risk to overrun the buffer), and break out if we
see that avail_out has become zero, in order to detect that the stream
wants to produce more than what we expect. After the loop, we have a
check that exactly tests this condition:

if ((st != Z_STREAM_END) || stream.total_out != size) {
free(buffer);
return NULL;
}

So here is a patch (without my previous botched attempts) to fix this
issue. The first hunk reverts the corresponding hunk from b3118bd, and
the second hunk is the same fix proposed earlier.

blame: make sure that the last line ends in an LF

This is convenient when parsing multiple the blame of multiple files,
for example:

git ls-files -z --exclude-standard -- "*.[ch]" |
xargs --null -n 1 git blame -p > output

and then analyzing the 'output' file using a seperate script.

Currently the parsing is difficult when not all files have a newline
at EOF, this patch ensures that even such files have a newline at the
end of the blame output.

git checkout --no-guess

Porcelains may want to make sure their calls to "git checkout" will
reliably fail regardless of the presense of random remote tracking
branches by the new DWIMmery introduced.

Luckily all existing in-tree callers have extra checks to make sure they
feed local branch name when they want to switch, or they explicitly ask to
detach HEAD at the given commit, so there is no need to add this option
for them.

As this is strictly script-only option, do not even bother to document it,
and do bother to hide it from "git checkout -h".

fsck: default to "git fsck --full"Junio C Hamano Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:46:55 +0000 (11:46 -0700)

fsck: default to "git fsck --full"

Linus and other git developers from the early days trained their fingers
to type the command, every once in a while even without thinking, to check
the consistency of the repository back when the lower core part of the git
was still being developed. Developers who wanted to make sure that git
correctly dealt with packfiles could deliberately trigger their creation
and checked them after they were created carefully, but loose objects are
the ones that are written by various commands from random codepaths. It
made some technical sense to have a mode that checked only loose objects
from the debugging point of view for that reason.

Even for git developers, there no longer is any reason to type "git fsck"
every five minutes these days, worried that some newly created objects
might be corrupt due to recent change to git.

The reason we did not make "--full" the default is probably we trust our
filesystems a bit too much. At least, we trusted filesystems more than we
trusted the lower core part of git that was under development.

Once a packfile is created and we always use it read-only, there didn't
seem to be much point in suspecting that the underlying filesystems or
disks may corrupt them in such a way that is not caught by the SHA-1
checksum over the entire packfile and per object checksum. That trust in
the filesystems might have been a good tradeoff between fsck performance
and reliability on platforms git was initially developed on and for, but
it may not be true anymore as we run on many more platforms these days.

gitweb: linkify author/committer names with search

It's nice to search for an author by merely clicking on their name in
gitweb. This is usually faster than selecting the name, copying the
selection, pasting it into the search box, selecting between
author/committer and then hitting enter.

Linkify the avatar icon in log/shortlog view because the icon is directly
adjacent to the name and thus more related. The same is not true
when in commit/tag view where the icon is farther away.

Add the --submodule option to the diff option familyJohannes Schindelin Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:38:32 +0000 (14:38 +0200)

Add the --submodule option to the diff option family

When you use the option --submodule=log you can see the submodule
summaries inlined in the diff, instead of not-quite-helpful SHA-1 pairs.

The format imitates what "git submodule summary" shows.

To do that, <path>/.git/objects/ is added to the alternate object
databases (if that directory exists).

This option was requested by Jens Lehmann at the GitTogether in Berlin.

stash list: drop the default limit of 10 stashesThomas Rast Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:48:12 +0000 (17:48 +0200)

stash list: drop the default limit of 10 stashes

'git stash list' had an undocumented limit of 10 stashes, unless other
git-log arguments were specified. This surprised at least one user,
but possibly served to cut the output below a screenful without using
a pager.

Since the last commit, 'git stash list' will fire up a pager according
to the same rules as the 'git log' it calls, so we can drop the limit.

stash list: use new %g formats instead of sedThomas Rast Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:48:11 +0000 (17:48 +0200)

stash list: use new %g formats instead of sed

With the new formats, we can rewrite 'git stash list' in terms of an
appropriate pretty format, instead of hand-editing with sed. This has
the advantage that it obeys the normal settings for git-log, notably
the pager.
