Describe the bug in handling filenames with funny characters in 'git add -i'

The interactive mode does not work with files whose names contain
characters that need C-quoting. `core.quotepath` configuration can be
used to work this limitation around to some degree, but backslash,
double-quote and control characters will still have problems.

Accept git aliases outside a git repository

af05d67 (Always set *nongit_ok in setup_git_directory_gently(),
2008-03-25) had a change from the patch originally submitted that resulted
in disabling aliases outside a git repository.

It turns out that some people used "alias.fubar = diff --color-words" in
$HOME/.gitconfig to use non-index diff (or any command that do not need
git repository) outside git repositories, and this change broke them,
so this resurrects the support for such usage.

filter-branch: Fix renaming a directory in the tree... veillette@yahoo.ca Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:14:15 +0000 (09:14 +0200)

filter-branch: Fix renaming a directory in the tree-filter

Commit d89c1df (filter-branch: don't use xargs -0, 2008-03-12) replaced a
'ls-files | xargs rm' pipeline by 'git clean'. 'git clean' however does
not recurse and remove directories by default.

Now, consider a tree-filter that renames a directory.

1. For the first commit everything works as expected

2. Then filter-branch checks out the files for the next commit. This
leaves the new directory behind because there is no real "branch
switching" involved that would notice that the directory can be
removed.

3. Then filter-branch invokes 'git clean' to remove exactly those
left-overs. But here it does not remove the directory.

4. The next tree-filter does not work as expected because there already
exists a directory with the new name.

Just add -d to 'git clean', so that empty directories are removed.

filter-branch: Test renaming directories in a tree-filter

This test currently fails.

If b is a directory then 'mv a b' is not a plain "rename", but really a
"move", so we must also test that the directory does not exist with the
old name in the directory with the new name.

There's also some cleanup in the corresponding "rename file" test to avoid
spurious shell syntax errors and "ambigous ref" error from 'git show' (but
these should show up only if the test would fail anyway). Plus we also
test for the non-existence of the old file.

mktag.c: improve verification of tagger field and tests

Since nearly its birth, git's tags have included a "tagger" field which
describes the name of tagger, email of tagger, and date and time of tagging.
But, this field was only loosely tested by git-mktag. Provide some thorough
testing for this field and also ensure that the tag header is separated
from the tag body by an empty line to reduce the convenience of creating
a flawed tag.

diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items

Earlier, if you changed a staged path into a directory in the work tree,
we happily ran lstat(2) on it and found that it exists, and declared that
the user changed it to a gitlink.

This is wrong for two reasons:

(1) It may be a directory, but it may not be a submodule, and in the
latter case, the change we need to report is "the blob at the path
has disappeared". We need to check with resolve_gitlink_ref() to be
consistent with what "git add" and "git update-index --add" does.

(2) lstat(2) may have succeeded only because a leading component of the
path was turned into a symbolic link that points at something that
exists in the work tree. In such a case, the path itself does not
exist anymore, as far as the index is concerned.

This fixes these breakages in diff-index that the previous patch has
exposed.

Add corner case tests for diff-index and diff-files

diff-index and diff-files can get confused in corner cases when an indexed
blob turns into something else in the work tree. This patch adds tests to
expose such breakages.

The test is classified under t2XXX series instead of t4XXX series, because
the ultimate objective is to fix "add -u" (and "commit -a" that shares the
same issue).

Tighten refspec processing

This changes the pattern matching code to not store the required final
/ before the *, and then to require each side to be a valid ref (or
empty). In particular, any refspec that looks like it should be a
pattern but doesn't quite meet the requirements will be found to be
invalid as a fallback non-pattern.

This was cherry picked from commit ef00d15 (Tighten refspec processing,
2008-03-17), and two fix-up commits 46220ca (remote.c: Fix overtight
refspec validation, 2008-03-20) and 7d19da4 (refspec: allow colon-less
wildcard "refs/category/*", 2008-03-25) squashed in.

remote.c: Fix overtight refspec validation

We tightened the refspec validation code in an earlier commit ef00d15
(Tighten refspec processing, 2008-03-17) per my suggestion, but the
suggestion was misguided to begin with and it broke this usage:

$ git push origin HEAD~12:master

The syntax of push refspecs and fetch refspecs are similar in that they
are both colon separated LHS and RHS (possibly prefixed with a + to
force), but the similarity ends there. For example, LHS in a push refspec
can be anything that evaluates to a valid object name at runtime (except
when colon and RHS is missing, or it is a glob), while it must be a
valid-looking refname in a fetch refspec. To validate them correctly, the
caller needs to be able to say which kind of refspecs they are. It is
unreasonable to keep a single interface that cannot tell which kind it is
dealing with, and ask it to behave sensibly.

This commit separates the parsing of the two into different functions, and
clarifies the code to implement the parsing proper (i.e. splitting into
two parts, making sure both sides are wildcard or neither side is).

This happens to also allow pushing a commit named with the esoteric "look
for that string" syntax:

$ git push ../test.git ':/remote.c: Fix overtight refspec:master'

zero when they want to disable autopacking. Since it is unlikely that users

a setting of zero for gc.auto to disable all autopacking.

Make revision limiting more robust against occasional... Linus Torvalds Tue, 18 Mar 2008 01:56:33 +0000 (18:56 -0700)

Make revision limiting more robust against occasional bad commit dates

The revision limiter uses the commit date to decide when it has seen
enough commits to finalize the revision list, but that can get confused
if there are incorrect dates far in the past on some commits.

This makes the logic a bit more robust by

- we always walk an extra SLOP commits from the source list even if we
decide that the source list is probably all done (unless the source is
entirely empty, of course, because then we really can't do anything at
all)

- we keep track of the date of the last commit we added to the
destination list (this will *generally* be the oldest entry we've seen
so far)

- we compare that with the youngest entry (the first one) of the source
list, and if the destination is older than the source, we know we want
to look at the source.

which causes occasional date mishaps to be handled cleanly.

Fix possible Solaris problem in 'checkout_entry()'

Currently when checking out an entry "path", we try to unlink(2) it first
(because there could be stale file), and if there is a directory there,
try to deal with it (typically we run recursive rmdir). We ignore the
error return from this unlink because there may not even be any file
there.

However if you are root on Solaris, you can unlink(2) a directory
successfully and corrupt your filesystem.

This moves the code around and check the directory first, and then
unlink(2). Also we check the error code from it.

In commit 34110cd4e394e3f92c01a4709689b384c34645d8 ("Make 'unpack_trees()'
have a separate source and destination index") I introduced a really
stupid bug in that it would always add merged entries with the CE_UPDATE
flag set. That caused us to always re-write the file, even when it was
already up-to-date in the source index.

Not only is that really stupid from a performance angle, but more
importantly it's actively wrong: if we have dirty state in the tree when
we merge, overwriting it with the result of the merge will incorrectly
overwrite that dirty state.

This trivially fixes the problem - simply don't set the CE_UPDATE flag
when the merge result matches the old state.
