merge-recursive: fix check for skipability of working tree updates
The can-working-tree-updates-be-skipped check has had a long and blemished
history. The update can be skipped iff:
a) The merge is clean
b) The merge matches what was in HEAD (content, mode, pathname)
c) The target path is usable (i.e. not involved in D/F conflict)
Traditionally, we split b into parts:
b1) The merged result matches the content and mode found in HEAD
b2) The merged target path existed in HEAD
Steps a & b1 are easy to check; we have always gotten those right. While
it is easy to overlook step c, this was fixed seven years ago with commit 4ab9a157d069 ("merge_content(): Check whether D/F conflicts are still
present", 2010-09-20). merge-recursive didn't have a readily available
way to directly check step b2, so various approximations were used:
* In commit b2c8c0a76274 ("merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip
an update, actually skip it", 2011-02-28), it was noted that although
the code claimed it was skipping the update, it did not actually skip
the update. The code was made to skip it, but used lstat(path, ...)
as an approximation to path-was-tracked-in-index-before-merge.
* In commit 5b448b853030 ("merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip
an update, actually skip it", 2011-08-11), the problem with using
lstat was noted. It was changed to the approximation
path2 && strcmp(path, path2)
which is also wrong. !path2 || strcmp(path, path2) would have been
better, but would have fallen short with directory renames.
* In c5b761fb2711 ("merge-recursive: ensure we write updates for
directory-renamed file", 2018-02-14), the problem with the previous
approximation was noted and changed to
was_tracked(path)
That looks close to what we were trying to answer, but was_tracked()
as implemented at the time should have been named is_tracked(); it
returned something different than what we were looking for.
* To make matters more complex, fixing was_tracked() isn't sufficient
because the splitting of b into b1 and b2 is wrong. Consider the
following merge with a rename/add conflict:
side A: modify foo, add unrelated bar
side B: rename foo->bar (but don't modify the mode or contents)
In this case, the three-way merge of original foo, A's foo, and B's
bar will result in a desired pathname of bar with the same
mode/contents that A had for foo. Thus, A had the right mode and
contents for the file, and it had the right pathname present (namely,
bar), but the bar that was present was unrelated to the contents, so
the working tree update was not skippable.
Fix this by introducing a new function:
was_tracked_and_matches(o, path, &mfi.oid, mfi.mode)
and use it to directly check for condition b.

merge-recursive: make "Auto-merging" comment show for other merges
Previously, merge_content() would print "Auto-merging" whenever the final
content and mode aren't already available from HEAD. There are a few
problems with this:
1) There are other code paths doing merges that should probably have the
same message printed, in particular rename/rename(2to1) which cannot
call into the normal rename logic.
2) If both sides of the merge have modifications, then a content merge
is needed. It may turn out that the end result matches one of the
sides (because the other only had a subset of the same changes), but
the merge was still needed. Currently, the message will not print in
that case, though it seems like it should.
Move the printing of this message to merge_file_1() in order to address
both issues.

merge-recursive: fix remainder of was_dirty() to use original index
was_dirty() uses was_tracked(), which has been updated to use the original
index rather than the current one. However, was_dirty() also had a
separate call to cache_file_exists(), causing it to still implicitly use
the current index. Update that to instead use index_file_exists().
Also, was_dirty() had a hack where it would mark any file as non-dirty if
we simply didn't know its modification time. This was due to using the
current index rather than the original index, because D/F conflicts and
such would cause unpack_trees() to not copy the modification times from
the original index to the current one. Now that we are using the original
index, we can dispense with this hack.

merge-recursive: fix was_tracked() to quit lying with some renamed paths
In commit aacb82de3ff8 ("merge-recursive: Split was_tracked() out of
would_lose_untracked()", 2011-08-11), was_tracked() was split out of
would_lose_untracked() with the intent to provide a function that could
answer whether a path was tracked in the index before the merge. Sadly,
it instead returned whether the path was in the working tree due to having
been tracked in the index before the merge OR having been written there by
unpack_trees(). The distinction is important when renames are involved,
e.g. for a merge where:
HEAD: modifies path b
other: renames b->c
In this case, c was not tracked in the index before the merge, but would
have been added to the index at stage 0 and written to the working tree by
unpack_trees(). would_lose_untracked() is more interested in the
in-working-copy-for-either-reason behavior, while all other uses of
was_tracked() want just was-it-tracked-in-index-before-merge behavior.
Unsplit would_lose_untracked() and write a new was_tracked() function
which answers whether a path was tracked in the index before the merge
started.
This will also affect was_dirty(), helping it to return better results
since it can base answers off the original index rather than an index that
possibly only copied over some of the stat information. However,
was_dirty() will need an additional change that will be made in a
subsequent patch.

t6046: testcases checking whether updates can be skipped in a merge
Add several tests checking whether updates can be skipped in a merge.
Also add several similar testcases for where updates cannot be skipped in
a merge to make sure that we skip if and only if we should.
In particular:
* Testcase 1a (particularly 1a-check-L) would have pointed out the
problem Linus has been dealing with for year with his merges[1].
* Testcase 2a (particularly 2a-check-L) would have pointed out the
problem with my directory-rename-series before it broke master[2].
* Testcases 3[ab] (particularly 3a-check-L) provide a simpler testcase
than 12b of t6043 making that one easier to understand.
* There are several complementary testcases to make sure we're not just
fixing those particular issues while regressing in the opposite
direction.
* There are also a pair of tests for the special case when a merge
results in a skippable update AND the user has dirty modifications to
the path.

merge-recursive: move more is_dirty handling to merge_content

Four closely related changes all with the purpose of fixing error handling
in this function:
- fix reported function name in add_cacheinfo error messages
- differentiate between the two error messages
- abort early when we hit the error (stop ignoring return code)
- mark a test which was hitting this error as failing until we get the
right fix
In more detail...
In commit 0424138d5715 ("Fix bogus error message from merge-recursive
error path", 2007-04-01), it was noted that the name of the function which
the error message claimed it was reported from did not match the actual
function name. This was changed to something closer to the real function
name, but it still didn't match the actual function name. Fix the
reported name to match.
Second, the two errors in this function had identical messages, preventing
us from knowing which error had been triggered. Add a couple words to the
second error message to differentiate the two.
Next, make sure callers do not ignore the return code so that it will stop
processing further entries (processing further entries could result in
more output which could cause the error to scroll off the screen, or at
least be missed by the user) and make it clear the error is the cause of
the early abort. These errors should never be triggered in production; if
either one is, it represents a bug in the calling path somewhere and is
likely to have resulted in mis-merged content. The combination of
ignoring of the return code and continuing to print other standard
messages after hitting the error resulted in the following bug report from
Junio: "...the command pretends that everything went well and merged
cleanly in that path...[Behaving] in a buggy and unexplainable way is bad
enough, doing so silently is unexcusable." Fix this.
Finally, there was one test in the testsuite that did hit this error path,
but was passing anyway. This would have been easy to miss since it had a
test_must_fail and thus could have failed for the wrong reason, but in a
separate testing step I added an intentional NULL-dereference to the
codepath where these error messages are printed in order to flush out such
cases. I could modify that test to explicitly check for this error and
fail the test if it is hit, but since this test operates in a bit of a
gray area and needed other changes, I went for a different fix. The gray
area this test operates in is the following: If the merge of a certain
file results in the same version of the file that existed in HEAD, but
there are dirty modifications to the file, is that an error with a
"Refusing to overwrite existing file" expected, or a case where the merge
should succeed since we shouldn't have to touch the dirty file anyway?
Recent discussion on the list leaned towards saying it should be a
success. Therefore, change the expected behavior of this test to match.
As a side effect, this makes the failed-due-to-hitting-add_cacheinfo-error
very clear, and we can mark the test as test_expect_failure. A subsequent
commit will implement the necessary changes to get this test to pass
again.

merge-recursive: avoid spurious rename/rename conflict from dir renames
If a file on one side of history was renamed, and merely modified on the
other side, then applying a directory rename to the modified side gives us
a rename/rename(1to2) conflict. We should only apply directory renames to

merge-recursive: when comparing files, don't include trees
get_renames() would look up stage data that already existed (populated
in get_unmerged(), taken from whatever unpack_trees() created), and if
it didn't exist, would call insert_stage_data() to create the necessary
entry for the given file. The insert_stage_data() fallback becomes
much more important for directory rename detection, because that creates
a mechanism to have a file in the resulting merge that didn't exist on
either side of history. However, insert_stage_data(), due to calling
get_tree_entry() loaded up trees as readily as files. We aren't
interested in comparing trees to files; the D/F conflict handling is
done elsewhere. This code is just concerned with what entries existed
for a given path on the different sides of the merge, so create a
get_tree_entry_if_blob() helper function and use it.

This populates a set of directory renames for us. The set of directory
renames is not yet used, but will be in subsequent commits.
Note that the use of a string_list for possible_new_dirs in the new
dir_rename_entry struct implies an O(n^2) algorithm; however, in practice
I expect the number of distinct directories that files were renamed into
from a single original directory to be O(1). My guess is that n has a
mode of 1 and a mean of less than 2, so, for now, string_list seems good
enough for possible_new_dirs.

completion: load completion file for external subcommand
Adding external subcommands to Git is as easy as to put an executable
file git-foo into PATH. Packaging such subcommands for a Linux
distribution can be achieved by unpacking the executable into /usr/bin
of the user's system. Adding system-wide completion scripts for new
subcommands, however, can be a bit tricky.
Since bash-completion started to use dynamical loading of completion
scripts since v1.90 (preview of v2.0), it is no longer sufficient to
drop a completion script of a subcommand into the standard completions
path, /usr/share/bash-completion/completions, since this script will not
be loaded if called as a git subcommand.
For example, look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/544722. To give a short
summary: The popular git-flow subcommand provides a completion script,
which gets installed as /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git-flow.
If you now type into a Bash shell:
git flow <TAB>
You will not get any completions, because bash-completion only loads
completions for git and git has no idea that git-flow is defined in
another file. You have to load this script manually or trigger the
dynamic loader with:
git-flow <TAB> # Please notice the dash instead of whitespace
This will not complete anything either, because it only defines a Bash
function, without generating completions. But now the correct completion
script has been loaded and the first command can use the completions.
So, the goal is now to teach the git completion script to consider the
possibility of external completion scripts for subcommands, but of
course without breaking current workflows.
I think the easiest method is to use a function that was defined by
bash-completion v1.90, namely _completion_loader. It will take care of
loading the correct script if present. Afterwards, the git completion
script behaves as usual.
_completion_loader was introduced in commit 20c05b43 of bash-completion
(https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.git) back in 2011, so it should
be available in even older LTS distributions. This function searches for
external completion scripts not only in the default path
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions, but also in the user's home
directory via $XDG_DATA_HOME and in a user specified directory via
$BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR.
The only "drawback" (if it even can be called as such) is, that if
_completion_loader does not find a completion script, it automatically
registers a minimal function for basic path completion. In practice,
however, this will not matter, because in this case the given command is
a git command in its dashed form, e.g. 'git-diff-index', and those have
been deprecated for a long time.
This way we can leverage bash-completion's dynamic loading for git
subcommands and make it easier for developers to distribute custom
completion scripts.

Documentation: render revisions correctly under Asciidoctor
When creating a literal block from an indented block without any sort of
delimiters, Asciidoctor strips off all leading whitespace, resulting in
a misrendered chart. Use an explicit literal block to indicate to
Asciidoctor that we want to keep the leading whitespace.

Asciidoctor expands tabs at the beginning of a line. However, it does
not expand them into 8 spaces by default. Since we use 8-space tabs,
tell Asciidoctor that we want 8 spaces by setting the tabsize attribute.
This ensures that our ASCII art renders properly.

While at it, remove the localization from one instance: we never want

In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:
sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

The slightly misleading name die_bug() of the function intended to
report a bug is actually called always, and only reports a bug if the
passed-in parameter `err` is non-zero.
It uses die_errno() to report the bug, to helpfully include the error
message corresponding to `err`.
However, as these messages indicate bugs, we really should use BUG().
And as BUG() is a macro to be able to report the exact file and line
number, we need to convert die_bug() to a macro instead of only
replacing the die_errno() by a call to BUG().
While at it, use a name more indicative of the purpose: CHECK_BUG().

When we call BUG(), we signal via SIGABRT that something bad happened,
dumping cores if so configured. In some setups these coredumps are
redirected to some central place such as /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern,
which is a good thing.
However, when we try to verify in our test suite that bugs are caught in
certain code paths, we do *not* want to clutter such a central place
with unnecessary coredumps.
So let's special-case the test helpers (which we use to verify such code
paths) so that the BUG() calls will *not* call abort() but exit with a
special-purpose exit code instead.

In the context of the new --rebase-merges mode, which was designed
specifically to allow for changing the existing branch topology
liberally, a user may want to extract commits into a completely fresh
branch that starts with a newly-created root commit.
This is now possible by inserting the command `reset [new root]` before
`pick`ing the commit that wants to become a root commit. Example:
reset [new root]
pick 012345 a commit that is about to become a root commit
pick 234567 this commit will have the previous one as parent
This does not conflict with other uses of the `reset` command because
`[new root]` is not (part of) a valid ref name: both the opening bracket
as well as the space are illegal in ref names.

rebase -i --root: let the sequencer handle even the initial part
In this developer's earlier attempt to accelerate interactive rebases by
converting large parts from Unix shell script into portable, performant
C, the --root handling was specifically excluded (to simplify the task a
little bit; it still took over a year to get that reduced set of patches
into Git proper).
This patch ties up that loose end: now only --preserve-merges uses the
slow Unix shell script implementation to perform the interactive rebase.
As the rebase--helper reports progress to stderr (unlike the scripted
interactive rebase, which reports it to stdout, of all places), we have
to adjust a couple of tests that did not expect that for `git rebase -i
--root`.
This patch fixes -- at long last! -- the really old bug reported in 6a6bc5bdc4d (add tests for rebasing root, 2013-06-06) that rebasing with
--root *always* rewrote the root commit, even if there were no changes.
The bug still persists in --preserve-merges mode, of course, but that
mode will be deprecated as soon as the new --rebase-merges mode
stabilizes, anyway.

sequencer: learn about the special "fake root commit" handling
When an interactive rebase wants to recreate a root commit, it
- first creates a new, empty root commit,
- checks it out,
- converts the next `pick` command so that it amends the empty root
commit
Introduce support in the sequencer to handle such an empty root commit,
by looking for the file <GIT_DIR>/rebase-merge/squash-onto; if it exists
and contains a commit name, the sequencer will compare the HEAD to said
root commit, and if identical, a new root commit will be created.
While converting scripted code into proper, portable C, we also do away
with the old "amend with an empty commit message, then cherry-pick
without committing, then amend again" dance and replace it with code
that uses the internal API properly to do exactly what we want: create a
new root commit.
To keep the implementation simple, we always spawn `git commit` to create
new root commits.

When bisecting a performance regression using a config file,
`./bisect_regression --config my_perf.conf` for example, the
config file can contain Codespeed configuration which would
instruct the 'aggregate.perl' script called by the 'run'
script to output results in the Codespeed format and maybe
to try to send this output to a Codespeed server.
This is unfortunate because the 'bisect_run_script' relies
on the regular output from 'aggregate.perl' to mesure
performance, so let's disable Codespeed output and sending
results to a Codespeed server.

- git add .
- git status
- git commit
- git show (or git diff HEAD)
one would expect to have analogous output from git status and git show
(or similar diff-related programs). This is generally not the case, as
git status has hard coded values for diff related options.
With this commit the hard coded settings are dropped from the status
command in favour for values provided by git_diff_ui_config.
What follows are some remarks on the concrete options which were hard
coded in git status:
diffopt.detect_rename
Since the very beginning of git status in a3e870f2e2 ("Add "commit"
helper script", 2005-05-30), git status always used rename detection,
whereas with commands like show and log one had to activate it with a
command line option. After 5404c116aa ("diff: activate diff.renames by
default", 2016-02-25) the default behaves the same by coincidence, but
changing diff.renames to other values can break the consistency between
git status and other commands again. With this commit one control the
same default behaviour with diff.renames.
diffopt.rename_limit
Similarly one has the option diff.renamelimit to adjust this limit for
all commands but git status. With this commit git status will also honor
those.
diffopt.break_opt
Unlike the other two options this cannot be configured by a
configuration option yet. This commit will also change the default
behaviour to not use break rewrites. But as rename detection is most
likely on, this is dangerous to be activated anyway as one can see
here:

It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in

it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is

doc: keep first level section header in upper case
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.
This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.
Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.
While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples
vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.
