Smart-http tests: Test http-backend without curl or a webserver

This reuses many of the tests from the old t5560 but runs those tests
without curl or a webserver. This will hopefully increase the testing
coverage for http-backend because it does not require users to set
GIT_TEST_HTTPD.

Smart-http tests: Improve coverage in test t5560

Commit 34b6cb8bb ("http-backend: Protect GIT_PROJECT_ROOT from /../
requests") added the path_info helper function to test t5560 but did
not use it. We should use it as it provides another level of error
checking.

The /etc/.../passwd case is one that is not special (and the test
fails for reasons other than being aliased), so we remove that test
case.

Also rename the function from 'path_info' to 'expect_aliased'.

Similar to how git-daemon checks whether a repository is OK to be

may be set to export all repositories, or the individual repository
may have the file git-daemon-export-ok.

git-svn: detect cherry-picks correctly.

The old function was incorrect; in some instances it marks a cherry picked
range as a merged branch (because of an incorrect assumption that
'rev-list COMMIT --not RANGE' would work). This is replaced with a

of dealing with branches with many cherry picks to one 'merge-base' call
per merge, per branch which used cherry picking.

git-svn: exclude already merged tips using one rev-list call

The old function would have to check all mentioned merge tips, every time
that the mergeinfo ticket changed. This involved 1-2 rev-list operation
for each listed mergeinfo line. If there are a lot of feature branches
being merged into a trunk, this makes for a very expensive operation for
detecting the new parents on every merge.

This new version first uses a single 'rev-list' to figure out which commit
ranges are already reachable from the parents. This is used to eliminate
the already merged branches from the list.

rebase -i: abort cleanly if the editor fails to launch

If the user's configured editor is emacsclient, the editor
will fail to launch if emacs is not running and the git
command that tried to lanuch the editor will abort. For most
commands, all you have to do is to start emacs and repeat
the command.

The "git rebase -i" command, however, aborts without cleaning
the "$GIT_DIR/rebase-merge" directory if it fails to launch the
editor, so you'll need to do "git rebase --abort" before
repeating the rebase command.

Change "git rebase -i" to terminate using "die_abort" (instead of
with "die") if the initial launch of the editor fails.

worktree: don't segfault with an absolute pathspec without a work tree

If a command is run with an absolute path as a pathspec inside a bare
repository, e.g. "rev-list HEAD -- /home", the code tried to run strlen()
on NULL, which is the result of get_git_work_tree(), and segfaulted. It
should just fail instead.

Currently the function returns NULL even inside .git/ in a repository
with a work tree, but that is a separate issue.

ignore unknown color configurationJeff King Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:25:24 +0000 (07:25 -0500)

ignore unknown color configuration

When parsing the config file, if there is a value that is
syntactically correct but unused, we generally ignore it.
This lets non-core porcelains store arbitrary information in
the config file, and it means that configuration files can
be shared between new and old versions of git (the old
versions might simply ignore certain configuration).

The one exception to this is color configuration; if we
encounter a color.{diff,branch,status}.$slot variable, we
die if it is not one of the recognized slots (presumably as
a safety valve for user misconfiguration). This behavior
has existed since 801235c (diff --color: use
$GIT_DIR/config, 2006-06-24), but hasn't yet caused a
problem. No porcelain has wanted to store extra colors, and
we once a color area (like color.diff) has been introduced,
we've never changed the set of color slots.

However, that changed recently with the addition of
color.diff.func. Now a user with color.diff.func in their
config can no longer freely switch between v1.6.6 and older
versions; the old versions will complain about the existence
of the variable.

This patch loosens the check to match the rest of
git-config; unknown color slots are simply ignored. This
doesn't fix this particular problem, as the older version
(without this patch) is the problem, but it at least
prevents it from happening again in the future.

non-zero (i.e., a delay after which the command is run automatically), the
latter restriction on dissimilarity was not obeyed.

In my case, this happened:

Fix archive format with -- on the command line

Giving --format from the command line, or using output file extention to
DWIM the output format, with a pathspec that is disambiguated with an
explicit double-dash on the command line, e.g.

git archive -o file --format=zip HEAD -- path
git archive -o file.zip HEAD -- path

didn't work correctly.

This was because the code reordered (when one was given) or added (when
the format was inferred) a --format argument at the end, effectively
making it to "archive HEAD -- path --format=zip", i.e. an extra pathspec
that is unlikely to match anything.

The command line argument list should always be "options, revs and then
paths", and we should set a good example by inserting the --format at the
beginning instead.

This reverts commit c0ecb07048ce2123589a2f077d296e8cf29a9570 "git-pull.sh:
Fix call to git-merge for new command format" and

commit b81e00a965c62ca72a4b9db425ee173de147808d "git-merge: a deprecation
notice of the ancient command line syntax".

They caused a "git pull" (without any arguments, and without any local
commits---only to update to the other side) to warn that commit log
message is ignored because the merge resulted in a fast-forward.

Another possible solution is to add an extra option to "git merge" so that
"git pull" can tell it that the message given is not coming from the end
user (the canned message is passed just in case the merge resulted in a
non-ff and caused commit), but I think it is easier _not_ to deprecate the
old syntax.

add-interactive: fix deletion of non-empty files

Commit 24ab81a fixed the deletion of empty files, but broke
deletion of non-empty files. The approach it took was to
factor out the "deleted" line from the patch header into its
own hunk, the same way we do for mode changes. However,
unlike mode changes, we only showed the special "delete this
file" hunk if there were no other hunks. Otherwise, the user
would annoyingly be presented with _two_ hunks: one for
deleting the file and one for deleting the content.

This meant that in the non-empty case, we forgot about the
deleted line entirely, and we submitted a bogus patch to
git-apply (with "/dev/null" as the destination file, but not
marked as a deletion).

Instead, this patch combines the file deletion hunk and the
content deletion hunk (if there is one) into a single
deletion hunk which is either staged or not.

git-gui: Increase blame viewer usability on MacOS.

On MacOS raising a window causes the focus to be transferred
to it -- although it may actually be a bug in the Tcl/Tk port.
When this happens with the blame viewer tooltips, it makes
the interface less usable, because Entry and Leave handlers
on the text view cause the tip to disappear once the mouse
is moved even 1 pixel.

This commit makes the code raise the main window on MacOS
when Tk 8.5 is used. This version seems to properly support
wm transient by making the tip stay on top of the master,
so reraising the master does not cause it to disappear. Thus
the only remaining sign of problems is slight UI flicker
when focus is momentarily transferred to the tip and back.

git-gui: search 4 directories to improve statistic of gc hint

On Windows, git-gui suggests running the garbage collector if it finds
1 or more files in .git/objects/42 (as opposed to 8 files on other
platforms). The probability of that happening if the repo contains
about 100 loose objects is 32%. The probability for the same to happen
when searching 4 directories is only 8%, which is bit more reasonable.

Also remove $objects_limit from the message, because we already know
that we are above (or close to) that limit. Telling the user about
that number does not really give him any useful information.

The following octave script shows the probability for at least m*q
objects to be found in q subdirectories of .git/objects if n is the
total number of objects.

q = 4;
m = [1 2 8];
n = 0:10:2000;

P = zeros(length(n), length(m));
for k = 1:length(n)
P(k, :) = 1-binocdf(q*m-1, n(k), q/(256-q));
end
plot(n, P);

n \ q 1 4
50 18% 1%
100 32% 8%
200 54% 39%
500 86% 96%

Fix diff -B/--dirstat miscounting of newly added contentsLinus Torvalds Fri, 4 Dec 2009 20:07:47 +0000 (12:07 -0800)

Fix diff -B/--dirstat miscounting of newly added contents

What used to happen is that diffcore_count_changes() simply ignored any
hashes in the destination that didn't match hashes in the source. EXCEPT
if the source hash didn't exist at all, in which case it would count _one_
destination hash that happened to have the "next" hash value. As a
consequence, newly added material was often undercounted, making output
from --dirstat and "complete rewrite" detection used by -B unrelialble.

This changes it so that:

- whenever it bypasses a destination hash (because it doesn't match a
source), it counts the bytes associated with that as "literal added"

- at the end (once we have used up all the source hashes), we do the same
thing with the remaining destination hashes.

- when hashes do match, and we use the difference in counts as a value,
we also use up that destination hash entry (the 'd++').

reset: improve worktree safety valves

The existing code checked to make sure we were not in a bare
repository when doing a hard reset. However, we should take
this one step further, and make sure we are in a worktree.
Otherwise, we can end up munging files inside of '.git'.

Furthermore, we should do the same check for --merge resets,
which have the same properties. Actually, a merge reset of
HEAD^ would already complain, since further down in the code
we want a worktree. However, it is nicer to check up-front;
then we are sure we cover all cases ("git reset --merge"
would run, even though it wasn't doing anything) and we can
give a more specific message.

Add tests to t7103 to cover these cases and some missing ones.

Documentation: xmlto 0.0.18 does not know --stringparam

Newer DocBook stylesheets want man.base.url.for.relative.links
parameter set when formatting manpages with external references
to turn them into full URLs, and leave a helpful "you should
set this parameter" message in the output. Earlier we added
the MAN_BASE_URL make variable to specify the value for it.

When MAN_BASE_URL is not given, it ought to be safe to set the
parameter to empty; it would result in an empty leading path for
older stylesheets that ignore the parameter, and newer ones
would produce the same "relative URL" without the message.

Unfortunately, older xmlto (at least version 0.0.18 released in
early 2004 that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5) does not understand
the --stringparam command line option, so we cannot add the
parameter definition unconditionally to the command line. Work
it around by passing the parameter only when set.

If you do not have a suitable URL prefix, you can pass a quoted empty
string to it, like so:

$ make MAN_BASE_URL='""'

Fix crasher on encountering SHA1-like non-note in notes tree

When loading a notes tree, the code primarily looks for SHA1-like paths
whose total length (discounting directory separators) are 40 chars
(interpreted as valid note entries) or less (interpreted as subtree
entries that may in turn contain note entries when unpacked).

However, there is an additional condition that must hold for valid
subtree entries: They must be _tree_ objects (duh).

This patch adds an appropriate test for this condition, thereby fixing
the crash that occured when passing a non-tree object to the tree-walk
API.

The patch also adds another selftest verifying correct behaviour of
non-notes in note trees.

When pull --rebase fails because it cannot find what branch to

Say "rebase against" instead of "merge with" to avoid confusion.

The configuration suggested to remedy the situation uses a
confusing syntax, with variables specified in the dotted form
accepted by 'git config' but separated from their values by the
'=' delimiter used by config files. Since the user will have to
edit this output anyway, it is more helpful to provide a config
